Chapter 21 (2/2)
I first gave a long, long sigh to express that I really was very distressed, after which I then recounted once through to hi to how it really happened Finally, I asked him, ”Would you think that this sort of situation of ours is very absurd?”
He asked, ”Why would it be absurd?”
I said, ”It was very flippant, how can we inexplicably break up and inexplicably get back together, this makes me appear like I'm very wanton”
He said, ”GiveChen beckons you over with his finger, you will fly over and throw yourself (at him)”
I spoke again, ”But they all say that girls who chase guys won't be cherished, this actually has been a hidden worry in my heart all this while”
He said, ”Then you can go and look for someone else, let someone else chase you, let someone else cherish you”
I said, ”What are you being so angry for, can't you just talk me around nicely? You say, it's been three years already, why am I such a loser?”
He said, ”Alright then, I thought what you needed noas a wake-up call, I didn't expect that what you want now is a caring older brother Since this is so, I'll be a little more tactful, you're si Chen you will s Chen your two eyes will light up just like how a fly does when it sees poop Don't speak of three years, even if it were thirty years, you also can't escape froinal idio a blow and a shout to one's head Alludes to the Buddhist practice where the master would just randomly club a novice's head or shout at a novice to deress in co Buddhist concepts The idioive so)
…… Your definition of 'tactful' is very unique
I believed that what he said wasn't wrong, in this world, there really existed matter which ”reinforced each other and subdued each other”, for exahua University, Sister Feng was the bane of the plastic surgery industry, and Jiang Chen was the bane of ant Let's put it this way, there are some people who just are that calamity in your life, nocan coinal phrase - 相生相克, refers to the five phases of Chinese philosophy - wood, fire, earth, metal, water Each phase reinforces/develops another phase, and each phase subdues another phase too To give an exas, the matter will turn to ashes, which becomes earth, but fire subdues /Furong Jiejie is a woman who is notorious on the internet and is an internet celebrity She initially gained notoriety for her posts on the Internet foru University after she tried a few tiraduate studies [Btw, Tsinghua and Peking are the top two universities in Beijing/China]) (T/N: Sister Feng is another internet celebrity who becas she did In 2010, she announced that she was going to do plastic surgery, saying that she was going to do plastic surgery till she looked like Fan Bing Bing/Shu Qi etc, and apparently her doing plastic surgery (as) caused a nationwide sensation) (T/N: an ancient Taoistto bad luck, adversity, catastrophes that are destined to happen in your life)
I said, ”Then Jiang Chen'sChen, we still don't have a future”
Wu Bosong said, ”This way, I'll tell you a story”
He toldman and woman, this story could al all the ridiculous stories I have ever heard
The boy and the girl loved each other, and after that they wanted to get randirl was born in the year of the dog, and the grand when she was sirl randrandet married for the life of her You see how ridiculous this was, toat irl randmother unfavourable, she would have an excuse to bite her only Later on, that boy couldn't bear to be disobedient to his grandmother, and hence left Before he left, he proirl Many years later, the boy returned, the girl beca fat baby for his father in the year of the dog And just when his father was in the ive this girl a status, his grandrandson born in the year of the dog that she was hospitalised You see, this girl's e wasn't only just ridiculous, it was also quite sinister - if I can't becorandson I'll hter-in-law that's born in the year of the dog, I'll give birth to a grandson born in the year of the dog for you (T/N: The Chinese zodiac calendar operates in cycles of 12 lunar years, with an ani born in a certain year represented by a certain aniht to influence your personality and your fortune)
After I finished listening, I sounded an ”ah” in astonishment, and asked him, ”Is this your story?”
He said, ”It's not”
I said, ”If it's not, what are you telling it toChen's dad?”
He said, ”I just want to tell you that there are some people in this world who are very ridiculous, they like to interfere in other people's lives boldly and with conviction, yet you totally can ignore theirl in this story, they totally could have gone to register their reement with each other to elope, if that was really out of the question, waiting till the old woman died would have resolved it, there was no need to ruin each other's and other people's lives”
I said, ”So youChen to elope?”
He said, ”What elope, you are so stupid, where can you elope off to”
I said, ”Then what exactly do you mean?”
He said, ”Actually there's also not , I just suddenly wanted to tell you a story”
I said, ”That's not it, this really is your story right, if you are afraid ofwhy did you need to tell me?”
He said, ”This really isn't my story, this is the story ofyou aboutlife history to let you feel more balanced in your heart”
Once again, he succeeded inme sound an ”ah” in astonishment
We then chatted rando up the phone I suddenly was filled with confidence in the future of Jiang Chen and I, because I felt that since I was born in the year of the dragon, and this sort of creature that the dragon as coinary, it wasn't too possible that I would be able to bite Jiang Chen's family members, so in any case I wouldn't be reduced to the sa's mother was in
You see, us humans are always like this, we need an even more miserable story to decorate our own misery, we use other people's sorrows to balance out our own sorrows How did that powerful sentence go again - when I was co about how I didn't have shoes to wear, I discovered that there were people who didn't have legs I had legs, I also wasn't born in the year of the dog, how blessed was I
