Act 42: The world belongs to Caesar, the girl belongs to the boy (2)
"What are you doing? Are you here again?" Xia Mi became a little angry, puffing up his face and showing his little fangs.
"Yes, it's very immoral..." Chu Zihang said with a thoughtful expression.
"Really, thanks to me praising Senior Brother Lu just now, now I declare that he will never be able to take off his hat of a dead eunuch in this life!"
"I don't know who I learned it from. I only posted half of it without any follow-up. The previous story also had no follow-up, and then I started the next one."
Xia Mi thought briefly and scrolled through the messages below.
"One day I will have a knife in my hand! Kill all the broken dogs in the world!"
"Lu Mingfei, is your pen name Jiangnan? You only write half of any book and then become a eunuch."
"Damn it! My friends from Jiangnan upstairs, come and shake hands!"
"Senior brother! Come and join me in scolding Senior Brother Lu for being a dead eunuch!" Xia Mi tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Well..." Chu Zihang frowned and did not respond to the topic, "Xia Mi, can you guess the sequel of the story?"
"I'm not a prophet, how do I know?" Xia Mi looked away from the screen, "I just think this story is a bit sad."
"Look, the senior brother in the article has gotten everything he wants. He is making a lot of money every day as he becomes famous, but does he really feel happy?"
"Should it be considered happy? After all, he is so successful..." Chu Zihang thought for a while and gave the answer.
"No, I think he is unhappy." Xia Mi said.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths, and even made excuses to fly out on a business trip that he didn't need to make in person, just to meet the girl he had a crush on for the first time."
"But I don't quite understand why he didn't be bolder in the first place. Maybe there was still a little chance?"
"Maybe, but what can he do?" Chu Zihang whispered, "At that time, he had his own responsibilities."
"I think maybe the fact that the girl's boyfriend is too good and intimidating is just one of the factors. What's more, it's his inner inferiority complex. He feels that he doesn't have the capital to fight for this love." Xia Mi pinched her chin and thought. p>
"Are you inferior?" Chu Zihang said seriously, "What you said makes sense."
"Oh, all the talk we have here is empty talk, we still have to wait and see what happens next."
"How about we go find Senior Brother Lu together to ask for follow-up information?" She had an idea, jumped up from her chair and was about to rush out of the restaurant.
"No need." Chu Zihang said, "Actually, I don't really want to see the continuation of the story. I'm afraid the ending won't be what I imagined."
"Otherwise it would be a pity."
"Oh..." Xia Mi's arrogance instantly dropped, and she swayed back and forth across the chair.
The atmosphere became a little silent again. Chu Zihang silently put rice into his mouth, and Xia Mi rested his chin on the back of the chair not knowing what he was thinking.

……
"Senior sister, do you think my senior brother will come and ask me?" Lu Mingfei moved his body, which had been sitting for a long time, "I don't want a bunch of unrelated people to come to me for consultation on emotional issues, but there will be no results I want to see." "The gain outweighs the loss. Not to mention wasting time and energy, I still can't achieve my goal."
"I can't guarantee that." Nono shrugged, "I just think this method is definitely more effective than asking him directly to get to the point."
"After all, Chu Zihang, you also know that if you are stubborn on the surface, you will lose face. You have to let him take the initiative to come to you and ask."
"I just hope that all the insinuations I gave him before will work." Lu Mingfei sighed.
"What did you tell him?" Nono asked casually.
"It's nothing, I just talked about the movie, and then talked about my past, with some personal information mixed in, probably to let the senior brother put aside the past and focus on the present..."
"Then I think the probability that he will come to you is relatively high." Nono nodded, "You have given him so many psychological hints. If he still doesn't come, then he is really hopeless."
"I hope so..." Lu Mingfei said
Then the conversation suddenly changed, "By the way, senior sister, can I order food in the library? I'm a little hungry."
"It seems like you can't... forget it, you have to be able to do it even if you can't. At worst, you'll lose some credits." Nuonuo smiled ambiguously, "What? You want to have dinner with me?"
"Not just eating together." Lu Mingfei looked serious, "I also want to have a candlelight dinner with my senior sister."
"I don't have time to have any romantic feelings with you. I have to study in the library at night. I failed Mance's class last semester. If I don't make up the exam quickly, he will definitely not make things easier for me." Nono pouted.<
/p>
"Okay." Lu Mingfei was a little disappointed.
"Hey, junior brother." Nuonuo looked at him with her chin in her hand, "I'll have a candlelight dinner with you next time. I owe you this time."
"Long live Senior Sister!"
……
……
At night, Lu Mingfei stayed alone in the dormitory, and Fingel went somewhere to fool around.
As expected, many young men trapped in love came to him this afternoon. Lu Mingfei spent a lot of effort to send the young men away who were in love.
Someone is knocking on the door outside.
"Who?" Lu Mingfei went over to open the door.
Their eyes met, and outside the door was a pair of ice-blue eyes with no expression. Lu Mingfei gasped.
"Boss? You...you...why are you here?"
"Can't I come?" Caesar asked, "Don't forget that I also failed three subjects last semester, which is about the same as you."
"Aren't you usually too lazy to take the make-up exam..."
"I was upset staying at home, so I came to the academy. Of course, I will not make up for the exam."
"Ah..." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "Why are you asking me for anything? Boss, do you have any emotional problems?"
"What emotional problem?" Caesar wondered.
"That's it... I recently wrote some emotional stories on the Night Watch Forum, and said that if anyone has emotional problems, they can come to me for consultation."
"I have seen that." Caesar said, "But I am not here to ask you about emotional issues between men and women, but about personal matters."
"What is it...?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.
"Why don't you let me in first?" Caesar gestured to him who was still standing outside the door.
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Lu Mingfei moved away without realizing it.
"Speaking of which," Caesar looked around his dormitory, "the first time I lost on a woman's battlefield, I lost to you."
"What?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"Chen Motong." Caesar said calmly, looking at Lu Mingfei with his icy blue eyes, "You should also know that I once pursued Chen Motong, but she rejected me."
"I know," Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed, "Boss, are you asking me to settle the score..."
"How is that possible?" Caesar smiled, "Do you think I am such a petty person?"
"No."
"What's more, I don't care much about Chen Motong, just because I felt that I was the best male student in Kassel at that time, and I should also find the best female student as my girlfriend."
"Chen Motong just met this condition, but she refused."
"My father used to say that men of the Gattuso family should not lose on the battlefield of women, and he proved it with his actions." Caesar had a look of disdain on his face.
"But I lost to you. It's hard for me to imagine that a girl like Chen Motong would fall in love with someone, but you did it, so you are quite worthy of my admiration."
"Yeah." Lu Mingfei nodded, "Boss, let's get into the topic."
"Okay, then I won't talk nonsense." Caesar said, "I came to you this time to talk about the problems between me and my family."
"What's going on?" Lu Mingfei pretended to be confused, "Boss, you still have problems with your family? Shouldn't you be a harmonious family? What's more, your family is so rich."
"Kissing in the same family." Caesar sneered, "It has nothing to do with whether you have money or not. They forced me to death.
Mother, I will have to settle this debt with them sooner or later."
"I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded, "There are always so many bloody dramas in aristocratic families."
"Yeah, I think it's ridiculous too." Caesar whispered, "My father, such a romantic stallion, actually took a lowly woman as his wife, and finally made her suffer humiliation in Gattuso's house.
The earth died, and he watched with cold eyes."
"So, you hate your family, right?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Absolutely." Caesar shrugged, "Sometimes I think, I would rather I was not born in the Gattuso family, then I wouldn't have experienced so many bullshit things."
"Boss, what do you think after reading my story?" Lu Mingfei did not answer Caesar's question, but started talking as if chatting.
"I haven't finished reading it," Caesar said, "Don't you have a follow-up?"
"Besides, I can't understand how this kind of man feels, because it's the girls who come to me on their own initiative, and I don't have time to go to them."
"You can explode all your current deposits." Lu Mingfei complained softly.
"Recharge now? What do you mean?"
"Nothing, nothing." Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand, "Then I will tell you the sequel of the story."
"That senior brother went to the United States and made an appointment to meet a girl in a very high-end restaurant. It was probably the kind of place where soothing music was played, the marble floor was shiny, and the dessert cart slowly came and went between the tables."<
/p>
"My senior brother said that I have never been so nervous waiting for a customer. I always feel that the color of my shirt is wrong. I also think there is something wrong with my glasses frame. The glasses are slanted on my face."
"At this time, the author has agreed. I know the ending of the story. Then the girl comes and has a simple meal with you. She is a bit old but very cheerful. You find that the topic of the conversation is completely different from what you expected.
Then you all go your separate ways, right?"
"Senior brother said no, she is not as old as you said! Well, everything else is pretty much the same as what you said. When she came that day, she brought her best friend with her. She said they just happened to go shopping for clothes, so they came together." "We recalled every classmate we knew together, and then we parted."
"The author asked, what kind of ending do you expect the story to have?"
"Brother said that I hope she can be in a place with music and listen quietly to me saying that I liked her very much back then."
"No more?" Caesar frowned.
"Yeah," Lu Mingfei nodded, "No."
"I feel a bit unfinished."
"Yeah, it's really exciting."
"It's like a man's nostalgia for the past after becoming famous, but he realizes that he has reached this position. No matter how he feels about his first love in his heart, he can't change the past."
"So that's all we can do, let's just chat and say goodbye."
"I don't quite understand the connection between the meaning of the story and the question I want to ask," Caesar said.
"Boss, do you know who Caesar's inheritance was distributed to?" Lu Mingfei asked suddenly.
"I'm not dead yet."
"I'm not talking about you, boss." Lu Mingfei slapped his forehead, "I'm talking about the Caesar in history, Gaius Julius Caesar."
"Then I definitely know that as a member of the Gattuso family, I know every piece of Roman history very well." Caesar raised his head proudly, "He distributed his property to his sister's three grandsons through his will, among which
Octavian had three-quarters to himself, and the other two children shared a fourth."
"He had several women, including Cleopatra, with whom he gave birth to Ptolemy XV, the future Pharaoh of Egypt."
"But those are just his inheritance, not the whole of his life, right?" Lu Mingfei said, "The only people who can share the glory with him are his family members, and they can't even be counted as his own family members."
"What do you mean?" Caesar asked with some confusion.
"Boss, can you imagine Caesar?
He's a man, right? He jumped on his horse and said, "I'm going to conquer Gaul and he will set off." Lu Mingfei became excited, "Even if he is thinking about something very much, his heart is still persevering and outstanding."<
/p>
"Only such a man can capture Gaul and then take control of Rome. His arrogance continues to this day."
"What you said is correct." Caesar nodded, "But I still want to ask if this has anything to do with the problems between my family."
"Think about it for a moment, if you are that senior brother, but the thing you like is not that girl, but something else."
Lu Mingfei stared into Caesar's eyes, "Are you willing to trade your status in the Gattuso family for that thing?"
"If I really like it," Caesar mused, "I think I would be willing to exchange it."
"Boss, you are being extreme." Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, "The prince of the Gattuso family is a position that many people covet."
"But I hate it."
"Perhaps you can change it in another way?" Lu Mingfei said, "For example, accept it and then use your own strength to change it."
Caesar said nothing.
"I know, boss, that you hate the family system, but instead of going against the family, it is better to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, just like Julius Caesar, who perseveredly jumped on his horse to conquer his Gaul."
"Slaying the dragon is your Gaul, boss." Lu Mingfei said word for word, "First conquer your family on your battlefield, and then conquer the world."
