Naturally, Mu Xingzhi had never experienced the "nonsense literature" that was very popular in Su Qingluan's previous life, so he frowned and thought about the subtle difference in meaning between the first half of her sentence and the last half of her sentence.
Or does half of the sentence have some deep reference?
After thinking for a long time, Mu Xingzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This sentence is even more mysterious. I wonder what Qingluan's meaning is?"
This was the first time Su Qingluan saw Mu Xingzhi actually showing confusion, and couldn't help but sigh: What is the seemingly unintentional temptation? What is head-turning killing? If I hadn't clearly understood that this harmless guy in front of me was definitely a ruthless guy with a black heart, I would have been shaken, right?
Even if I know that the other person is probably a guy with a bad personality, I still can’t dislike him...
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan smiled and said: "Actually, there is no difference between the two sentences before and after - I just want to see what is the meaning of your thinking like this."
After saying that, he stuck out his tongue with a mischievous expression.
Mu Xingzhi shook his head helplessly and asked, "How do you know that I'm not suitable for marriage? I think I'm not ugly in appearance, and I have some knowledge and wealth, so what's wrong with me?"
Su Qingluan said speechlessly: "Is this the point? The point is, you wouldn't choose to live peacefully in this remote country with an ordinary woman, would you?"
"Oh?" Mu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, "Why do you see that?"
"That's what you asked me to say. It doesn't mean I'm unreasonable." Su Qingluan first drew a line to tell Mu Xingzhi not to be upset later.
Seeing that the other party nodded to express his acquiescence, he spoke again: "No matter what your original identity is, you are willing to pretend to be a bad person and have been dormant in such a remote place for many years. According to my parents, you were seven or eight years ago. Just live here—definitely not to live an ordinary life as a country peasant girl here.”
Seeing Mu Xingzhi's "You continue" expression, she sighed: "For you, neither marriage nor your own emotions are important compared to the goal you really want to achieve. So you The in-laws—or even just the concubines—have to be well thought out and able to get you enough value.”
"Does Qingluan think he has no 'value'?" Mu Xingzhi teased.
"Of course I have my own value, otherwise you wouldn't cooperate with me, right?" At this point, Su Qingluan's smile was filled with pride. Mu Xingzhi felt that it was not a confident pride, nor was it self-righteousness. Ao Ran, before he could figure it out, Su Qingqing had already continued, "But, who said that if someone is worthy, he must be chosen by you and exchange it for marriage?"
"So Qingluan actually attaches such importance to the relationship between a man and a woman in marriage?" Mu Xingzhi was a little surprised. In his opinion, Su Qingluan didn't seem to care about anything.
Of course, it doesn't mean that she is ruthless to everything - for example, she cares about the Su family. However, Mu Xingzhi always felt that Su Qingluan's "concern" for the people around him was always separated by a layer of invisible things that he didn't know what it was. In this way, Su Qingluan seemed to be just watching everything around him. It's just...what is it like?
Su Qingluan's voice prepared Mu Xingzhi's thoughts: "On the contrary, I don't think I can find someone who is completely in love with me." In modern times, she already felt that "true love is hard to find," let alone beyond the Over the course of thousands of years, the huge gap in time alone has become an insurmountable barrier.
Other differences in personality and outlook can be ignored in the face of this huge gap cut by the giant of time.
"But, even so," Su Qingluan took a sip of the tea in front of her, "Even if we can't 'like each other', we should at least achieve the second-level 'mutual support', right? We can't be the only ones who are irreplaceable. People, it wouldn’t be bad to be a pair of partners who can fight the wind and rain together and keep warm together, right?”
"Then wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to be like this?" Mu Xingzhi was a little confused, "I can absolutely guarantee that you will not be exposed to any wind and rain, and even your family can have peace of mind."
"Where can there be so much 'peace of mind'?" Su Qingluan shrugged, "As much as you enjoy it, you will naturally have to bear it. If I completely hand over myself and my family to someone who is too powerful and I am completely unable to resist Humans, what should we do if one day, 'he' no longer wants to protect us? Maybe I have forgotten how to walk on my own because I have lived under the wings of others for a long time."
This is not because Su Qingluan is too pessimistic, but rather from the feelings of his previous life.
When she was little, she had envied those children who lived a prosperous life and had both parents. Later, she was adopted by her master. Although she always had some ideological conflicts with her because of her age, her master and her wife were both kind and wise people, so they would take her and discuss it slowly.
That period was the happiest time in Su Qingluan's life, and she thought this time would last forever.
Unfortunately, the two elders later left, and the place Su Qingluan had always regarded as "home" disappeared. Then she became seriously ill and had to earn money for treatment alone...
During this period, her master and wife gave her a lot of help. Compared with those people who were left in the hospital by their relatives and ignored, Su Qingluan felt that she was lucky enough.
So Su Qingluan gradually began not to rely on others, and gradually began to learn to be satisfied and cherish everything she already had, until now.
so……
Su Qingluan withdrew her distant gaze and looked at Mu Xingzhi again: "So I will not completely hand over my life to you or anyone else."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a heart-to-heart relationship. At least you need to find someone who makes you feel warm. Although if possible, I would rather not get married."
This was the first time that Mu Xingzhi heard that a girl his age was determined not to get married. Although it may seem deviant in the eyes of others, and even be criticized as "morally corrupt" in the eyes of some old masters, Mu Xingzhi actually felt that "if the other party is Su Qingluan, that's normal."
So he asked: "If you don't get married, where do you want to go?"
"Build a big ship and go to sea!" Su Qingluan's eyes were bright. "I heard that there is another continent on the other side of the sea. There are all kinds of creatures on it that are not found in our land. I want to see it!" Her pepper, her Her corn, her potatoes, her tomatoes! !
...Well, although there are other precious items, for a foodie, food is indeed more attractive.
