After leaving behind the instruction "Don't give up on yourself", the eldest lady walked away like a butterfly flying away from the flowers. Gongsun Ce sat on the sofa for a while, always feeling that there was still a warm and soft feeling in his hands.
An inexplicable feeling of boredom arose in his heart. Qin Qianbai thinks that he is giving up on himself, but is it necessarily wrong to live life with a negative attitude? He did not speak out of subjective malice or displeasure; everything was his opinion from the bottom of his heart. It is precisely because he knows that what he is thinking will appear strange to others that he rarely actually talks about it.
Unlike actual actions, thoughts in the mind do not interfere with others, so all humans have the right to view themselves freely. He always thought so, but today, Qin Qianbai seemed to feel sad because of his remarks... That's why she hugged her to comfort herself who had never been hurt.
Self-destruction, self-deprecation, self-disgust... Who is Gongsun Ce in her eyes? So……
He didn't want to think further.
Such complicated thoughts are as meaningless as discarded information. It's just that he occasionally has some negative ideas. Gongsun Ce has always been a positive person. He is a person with super powers who fights for ideals, dreams and everyone's lives.
It was almost five o'clock, and Gongsun Ce decided to fulfill his promise first and buy a gift for Qiluo, then eat something casually, and then continue the practice of impermanence.
·
To：Qiluo
[Rabbit, cat or rocket punch, which one do you prefer? 】
To: Gongsun Ce
【I like them all except the last one~】
What a pity. Gongsun Ce put down the Rocket Flying Fist plush toy and sighed silently. I thought Qiluo could understand the romance of robots, but unexpectedly she is also a woman bound by stereotypes.
The gray-haired young man was standing in front of the shelves of a toy store, choosing gifts for his friends among the furry toys. There were so many boys buying dolls to give away. He believed that the store clerks would not have any strange misunderstandings about him.
He believed that his choice was appropriate and wise. After all, a plush doll should be a gift that all girls would not hate... Even Caldesia would not refuse a cute little doll. No, not to mention the Top Hat Torturer, not even the Knight of Dawn would say bad words to a rabbit stuffed animal.
I'm afraid only vicious women like Shigure Rei or Chenbaku would disdain small dolls.
Thinking this, he reached out to the pink bear on the edge of the shelf...
"Huh?" "Oh."
Unfortunately, another hand reached out to the little bear. Judging from the slender hand shape and slightly long nails, these are obviously female hands.
Fighting over a girl's doll is not what a man should do. Gongsun Ce humbly retracted his hand and said subconsciously: "Please go first, miss..."
In the middle of speaking, the gray-haired young man will raise his head and take in the appearance of the owner of this hand. The woman who snatched the doll from him was a slender blue-haired woman who looked exactly like the person he had a bloody battle with last month, except that the black hunting suit when they first met was gone and replaced by It is a long-sleeved sportswear set that is easy to move around.
"..."
"..."
The two people's eyes met, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts. They are all thinking about what kind of opening remarks they should use to prop up their own momentum and belittle the other party's actions, and at the same time get rid of their status as "plush toy lovers".
After all, it was Gongsun Ce who had a sharp tongue and spoke first. He said extremely seriously: "Don't be like this, Miss Alice. I don't even know where to start sarcasticly at you."
"Sarcasm?!" Rei Shigure said angrily, "Am I doing something ridiculous?!"
Gongsun Ce said frankly: "Actually, no. I wanted to play with the age group at first, but when I thought about it, I realized that you are also in the range of liking stuffed toys at your age, so there is nothing strange about it. It's just that I want to stab you out of habit. , I'm sorry. What I really want to satirize are other things..."
"Ahaha, you really like to joke with me, big sister."
Miss Alice laughed dryly as she drew her short arrow.
"——If you dare to talk about sportswear, we will start a war now."
How did you guess my next joke? You are very self-aware, Miss Alice.
Gongsun Ce looked intently at the hunter's sports coat and solid-color trousers, thinking that this outfit could only bring out her unique temperament of despair. He had no intention of starting a fight with the Manifestation in the toy store, so he had no choice but to give up.
"It's up to you." Gongsun Ce spread his hands, "The clothes are good and very much your style."
Rei Shigure sneered and said, "Do you care so much about my appearance, young man?"
It's hard not to care about what made you change from a woman who looked pretty heroic on the outside to the person you are today who doesn't hide your true nature.
Normally, he could have had a long discussion with Shigure Rei for half an hour, and he would have been confident enough to make the other party angry. But now the conversation between the eldest lady and him is still echoing in his mind, which makes him less playful.
"It would be a lie to say that I don't care." Gongsun Ce shook his head tiredly, "The grievances in the past can be considered even. We shouldn't be tit-for-tat when we meet now. I'll buy another gift for you to enjoy your rest day and peace of mind. A stuffed animal."
He simply turned around and left, and Shigure Rei's eyes widened in surprise.
"Hey...it's so rare to see such an attitude. Were you dumped by that imperial girl?"
"Mr. Gongsun, I have never even been in love, so why don't you dump him?"
He discarded the pink bear he had previously chosen and picked a gray kitten doll. He thought that Qiluo had two kitten hairpins. She must like cats very much, so it would not be a mistake to give this to her.
Shigure Rei really took the pink bear. The two of them lined up in front of the checkout counter to pay without saying a word to each other. They were like strangers who met by chance in the store and had never had any contact with each other. They walked out of the store and went in different directions. As Shigurei took steps, suddenly, she heard the young man's inquiry coming from behind her.
"Miss Alice...do you think I am a negative person?"
Rei Shigure rolled his eyes and replied in a drawled voice.
"Interesting, Gongsun Ce. You finally betrayed everyone because of your bad mouth, so much so that you want me to be your close sister?"
"How come, Mr. Gongsun, I have many friends. It's just that I wanted to hear your opinion on a whim..."
The gray-haired young man pushed up his glasses.
"I think the two of us are quite compatible."
Rei Shigure put away the doll and walked slowly over.
"What a coincidence, I thought so too. Do you know why?"
She walked behind the gray-haired young man, put one hand on his shoulder, and turned to look at him from the side.
"We are all people who live under masks." Rei Shigure said with a crooked eyebrow and a bright smile, "Hide your true self under the mask, use disguised speech to deal with the temptations of others, and talk and laugh harmoniously on the surface. Incomparable, in the mainland they ridicule and hate each other. We all know this way of living very well, don’t we?”
A soft sound filled his ears, like a poisonous snake spitting messages next to his ears.
"After wearing the mask for a long time, the mask will become another self. In the end, you don't even know which side is the real self... But that is just an illusion of the authorities. Onlookers can see it. Clearly. Just like you, Gongsun Ce. Are you a negative person? No, no, how can you think like this..."
Her tone is as sweet as honey, but her content is as bad as poison.
"The word "negative" is too modest. You are a person who has practiced a negative way of life to the extreme! Gongsun Ce, you are even talking to me now, chatting with the woman who took your life away a month ago. . I really can’t stand it. What kind of views do you have on your own life to be able to act as if nothing has happened?”
Gongsun Ce's body stiffened unconsciously, and the keen hunter did not miss this point. She smiled more happily, and her sharp words pierced the young man's heart like a needle.
"Have you become self-aware until now? That's why I like your character. It's so interesting. You are as bad as me... Hahaha, hahahahaha!"
Gongsun Ce calmly slapped the woman's hand away.
"I like every one of you. Can I interpret this as a confession from you who has an awkward personality? Unfortunately, Mr. Gongsun, I don't like the narcissistic evil girl now. I still prefer the sad Miss Alice."
"Both each other." Rei Shigure said into his ear, "I also prefer young righteous boys to suicide volunteers."
………………cut.
"Thank you for your unkind comment, Miss Alice. I promise I will put it all behind me in five seconds."
"You're welcome, Gongsun Ce. I'm glad that my words can bring you uneasiness and pain. Big sister, I welcome you to talk to me again at any time..." Shigurei took a step back happily, "Let me hurt you again."
Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses and imitated a child's tone.
"Thank you, older unmarried girl in sportswear!"
The expression on Shigure Rei's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and replied.
"You're welcome, childish..."
"Thank you so much." He turned around and said with great enthusiasm, "You really helped me a lot, why don't I treat you to dinner? ?By the way, I also want to ask about the recent fashion. I think your outfit is really fashionable and perfectly brings out your unique temperament. I can't think of anyone who is more suitable for wearing sportswear than you... "
"--I kill you!"
Gongsun Ce used his power to speed up and dodge the short arrow that hit his head. He laughed three times, jumped into the air, and flew away from the angry blue-haired woman on the ground.
·
at night.
Yan Qizhai, Cangshou District.
Gongsun Ce opened the door and walked into the villa, and as expected saw Yan Qi drinking noodles at the dining table.
"You live in such a big house and this is what you eat?"
Yan Qi took two mouthfuls and replied incoherently.
"People need to eat to live, and money is needed when machinery is running. Who cares if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day? Why don't you try three meals of shark's fin, abalone, and bird's nest every morning, noon, and night?"
"Don't tell me, I really want to try it." Gongsun Ce sat down at the dining table, "Do you have any? Give me some, some fried sea cucumber with shark's fin."
"go away."
He cut. He asked, knocking on the table.
"Yan Qi. Do you think I'm negative?"
The man in black replied without thinking: "It's none of your business."
Sometimes he really wondered if this man could not say anything other than a few useful catchphrases.
"Is your logical chain still intact? This has nothing to do with me?"
Yan Qi sneered: "I said you are a stupid donkey, are you really stupid? I said you are negative and you commit suicide? I said you are a good role model with ambitions and ideas, are you going to work for Fatty Liu? There are many kinds of meaningless things in this world, and the opinions of others are the first among them!”
He forgot this.
Yan Qi, a stubborn and eccentric man, would never care about what others think. He would just do what he thought was right and laugh loudly at the stupidity and ignorance of others.
"Gene Era"
Gongsun Ce looked at the ceiling and said, "Okay, you all have your own meaning anyway."
"There's a fart."
"?"
Yan Qi put Kuai Zi down and wiped his mouth with paper.
"What is meaning? Is the earth meaningful? Is the universe meaningful? Meaning is something created by a person. If it exists, it will exist, but if it does not exist, it will not exist! It is just a wave of thoughts that arises in the ever-changing heart. Those who regard the so-called value of life are ignorant pigs and dogs.”
He actually didn't have any intention to refute, so he just whispered.
"...There is common sense in the world, but the impermanence of the mind is not the same."
"Remember the general outline, so you haven't learned in vain. Get ready to continue practicing. My time is limited. You must fall asleep before the end of the month."
The painter went to the living room to get ready. Gongsun Ce looked at his back and asked, "What will happen after falling into a dream?"
"Be able to escape into the soul and transcend ordinary principles. Touch the truth and understand your own nature."
Yan Qi burped, picked his teeth and muttered:
"Dive into the sea of impermanence and light up the true spiritual light. From then on, your heart will shine brightly and you will be able to see the self within me!"
