945 Should Laugh Like This! (2/2)
Seeing two Saint Emperors leave just like that, the inn was suddenly only left with Miao Xiao Miao, Little Beansprout, and Jun Mo Xie.The three looked at each other awkwardly, no one willing to speak first. In that moment, the entire room fell into complete silence.
Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose, thinking to himself that it was somewhat of a pity that this little lass was acting so mysteriously, covering half her face with a veil. It was so difficult to figure out her appearance, almost as if he were trying to gaze at a mountain through a fog. However, staying silent like this was not a solution ah. Forget it, this Young Master still has some virtue of patience. I'll break the ice then…
”Erm… two missus, what matter is it that you've called me up here for?” Jun Mo Xie only finally recalled that it had been the two of them who had invited him up here initially. As for what matter it was, they hadn't said until now. The moment he came up, he'd been involved in a quarrel, and even forced his opponent into an unconscious state…
The entire sequence of events had indeed been quite unexpected. However, he at least had an excuse to speak now.
”It's actually nothing much.” Right now, Miao Xiao Miao thought through her words several times before speaking, seemingly being extremely cautious with everything she said. This Mo Jun Ye, great genius Mo, may look simple and honest, but in reality, he has a stomachful of schemes and dangerous plots. If provoked, it will not be a laughing matter. This fellow could deliver a vicious bite at anytime, the kind that would tear skin and shred flesh. It is best not to offend him.
In any case, there didn't seem to be a need for that. ”I just heard from my Seniors that a wondrous talent like Young Master Mo had come to our Misty Illusory Manor, adding another young hero with boundless future to our ranks. Thus, I developed the inclination to get acquainted with Young Master. Unexpectedly, such a huge incident happened, ruining my initial intentions. It's truly embarrassing.”
”Ah… hur hur, Miss is truly overly praising me!” Jun Mo Xie laughed dryly and said. ”Honestly, there's really nothing very amazing about me. I'm just a normal person, with one mouth, one nose, and two eyes. Apart from being a little more handsome than normal people, I still feel pain when getting hit. If I get slashed by a sword, I will still die. Miss must feel a little disappointed now that you've seen me in person right?”
Miao Xiao Miao wided her eyes, only managing to stammer out a few words. ”N-no… not disappointed.”
”That's good, that's good.” Jun Mo Xie breathed a sigh of relief in a happy manner as he said to himself. ”I thought that I wasn't as handsome as before… Looks like my charm is still there; what a relief.”
On the side, Little Beansprout giggled a little. Hearing Young Master Jun praise himself like that, Miao Xiao Miao also covered her mouth and smiled.
Young Master Jun scratched his head and made a tsk sound with his tongue. ”It's truly tiring to look at you all laugh! If you want to laugh, just laugh! Why's there the need to cover your mouth and tilt your head to the side, afraid of making a little sound? Look at me, it's only enjoyable if you laugh like this!” After saying that, he raised his head and gathered his Qi through his dantian as he laughed aloud. ”HA! HA! HA! HA!”
Laughter was truly contagious.
The two adorable lolis finally could not endure anymore as they clutched their stomachs and roared with laughter, their sides cramping until they couldn't stand straight.
”How come you laugh like this? It seems that my style is a bit difficult for you.” Young Master Jun furrowed his brows lightly, seemingly in deep thought for a while before he said seriously. ”Or you can try to laugh like this; it may be more suitable for you…”
After saying that, he raised his head, squeezed his eyebrows together, and laughed. ”Ha~ha~ haha…” The actions and tone of this laughter mimicked Stephen Chow's perfectly, laughing exaggeratedly while moving the shoulders back and forth. His expression was exceedingly rich and comical.
”Hahahahaha…” The two ladies no longer cared about their appearance as they smacked the table and laughed uproariously. Their entire faces were tinged with red, and their little peach-like mouths were opened wide. Even the sight of their pink little tongues could be seen jumping with enjoyment…
”See, isn't it satisfying to laugh like that? Isn't it comfortable? Do you feel much more relaxed? Much more gratified?!” Jun Mo Xie thought with a deadpan expression: That, is the release of your true self! If you want to laugh, just let loose and laugh! Laughter is a thing that originates from happiness! If you still want to control yourself when you're joyful, what is the meaning in that kind of smile?”
Jun Mo Xie's voice grew slightly more solemn as he continued. ”Humans live for only a mere fleeting moment in the face of the immensity of the heavens and earth. It is filled with sorrow, with joyful moments being rare and far between. Whether it be the pain of the separation of life and death; or love, hatred, enmity, and friendship… life is filled with innumerable trials and unpredictable moments. Thus, we must grab hold of every happy moment and smile joyfully and wholeheartedly. Because after you laugh this time, it's hard to tell when the next opportunity to laugh will be…”
His words were somewhat heavy, resonating with the hearts of the two ladies.
Miao Xiao Miao sighed lightly and nodded. ”Indeed… there are truly too few moments in life that are worthy of a good laughter; whereas moments for pain and heartache are in great abundance… Brother Mo's words have indeed touched on the true meaning of life's five flavors.”
Previously, she'd only been calling Young Master Jun as 'Young Master Mo'. But in this moment, she'd unknowingly changed her form of address to Brother Mo. Clearly, their relationship had become a step closer.
Jun Mo Xie chuckled and smiled. ”Dare I ask Miss Miao, before today, when was the last time you laughed? Can you still remember?”
A look of deep thought appeared in Miao Xiao Miao's eyes, slowly turning into pain and hurt as she shook her head. ”I don't remember… truly…”
Jun Mo Xie sighed lightly and looked at her. ”Life is like a dream, passing in the twinkling of an eye. The black hair of yesterday turns white as snow today. When pleased with oneself, one should enjoy it to the greatest extent. Otherwise, wouldn't it be wasting these short tens of years of youth?”
