Act 43: The world belongs to Caesar, the girl belongs to the boy (3)
"Boss, can you understand what I mean?"
The clock on the wall ticked by, and there was only the sound of the second hand turning in the air.
"I understand, but I'm still very resistant in my heart." Caesar was silent for a while and said.
"Yes, I understand." Lu Mingfei patted him on the shoulder, "Just think about it for yourself."
"By the way." Caesar suddenly asked, "Did the author of the book say anything at the end?"
"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded, "He asked senior brother the same question."
"Brother finally asked me, am I Caesar?"
"The author said yes, although you have not met the girl's husband, it is not difficult for you to imagine that he is probably an ordinary hard-working Chinese American who likes to watch baseball games and drink Budweiser beer."
"But he was planning to marry his girlfriend when he was 22 years old, and then go to the United States to live a good life. He applied for a green card step by step and even changed his nationality. He worked hard to please his boss and asked for his recommendation. He found a good job in the United States earlier than you did.
Qiutian asked her, his wife baked almond biscuits on weekends, and he would take them and give them to all the neighbors to please them."
"And what about you? At that time, you were charging forward at the banquet, you were cool and dashing, and you were full of jokes. Everyone liked you."
"The banquet is your Gaul. You have captured it and you have been honored. Think about what you have now. Are you willing to exchange it with that man who drinks Budweiser and watches a baseball game?"
"At this time, senior brother, who was slightly squinting due to drinking, showed the cunningness of the southerners in his hazy eyes. He said that he would definitely not want to."
"Yes, so you will never get that girl." Lu Mingfei said it in the author's tone.
"I don't quite understand his mood." Caesar frowned his eyebrows, "But I understand the general meaning. He has become famous and is enjoying it."
"Yes," Lu Mingfei said softly, "Boss, I think you are just like Gaius Julius Caesar in history."
"You are a truly lion-like young man, a majestic lion with golden mane, walking on the vast grassland, hoping that all justice will be served in the realm of your rule. So proud, you were born to conquer the world, no matter how proud you are, you are born to conquer the world.
You should stick to a certain period of the past and chew on the sourness of it over and over again."
"Let me think about it again," Caesar said, walking out the door.
"But thank you for today, Lu Mingfei." He turned around and said.
"Bye bye! Boss, remember to come over and play more often when you have time." Lu Mingfei waved his hand and said to himself that it was not easy to persuade the child with secondary school syndrome to go away.
The person I wanted to wait for never came.
He sighed, slumped down on the computer chair, and was about to play two games of StarCraft before going to bed.
The mobile phone on the table suddenly buzzed several times. Lu Mingfei regained his energy instantly, jumped up from the computer chair, and rushed to the table to grab the mobile phone ecstatically.
"Lu Mingfei, do you have time to come to the library tomorrow morning? I want to ask you something."
The sender column shows "Chu Zihang".
"I know you, senior brother, are too shameless to come to the dormitory and ask me..." Lu Mingfei was extremely proud, humming a tune happily and pressing the square key of the n95 to type text messages.
"Okay." The text message is sent.
"Then let's do it at ten in the morning." Chu Zihang replied in seconds.
"It's alright, senior brother, see you there or see you."
……
……
Lu Mingfei was playing the game on his mobile phone to pass the time, then raised his head and glanced at Chu Zihang opposite.
He is reading a book, but he doesn’t know if he is really reading it.
The two sat opposite each other and had been silent for a long time.
"Brother, what's going on?" Lu Mingfei said a little boredly, "Are you really just asking me to go to the library to read a book?"
"Okay." Chu Zihang closed the book and went straight to the point as always, "Tell me about the follow-up to your story."
So Lu Mingfei told him about the follow-up...
"How is it?" Lu Mingfei blinked, "What do you think?"
"An indescribable feeling." Chu Zihang lowered his head, and his bangs fell down to cover his eyes.
"I just think you are too stubborn sometimes, senior brother."
"Well, I am very stubborn."
"Then let me ask you, if you were the senior brother in the story, what would you choose?"
"..." Chu Zihang was stunned, "I don't know."
"Alas." Lu Mingfei sighed, "I knew you would say you didn't know."
"Because senior brother, you never know what the meaning of your life is."
"I have meaning," Chu Zihang suddenly raised his head, and the golden child suddenly lit up, "and it's a very important one."
"Well, let me ask you, after you have completed the meaning of life, what are you going to do?"
"I remember I told you last time."
"Huh? Senior brother, are you serious?" Lu Mingfei seemed to have heard something unbelievable and stared at Chu Zihang with wide eyes, "Join the execution department? Search for traces of dragons all over the world? Until you have an accident one day.
Did you die on the mission?"
"Yeah."
"Don't you make some good assumptions about the future?"
"What can I do?"
"I have thought back countless times on that highway in the storm, and the moment my father lunged at Odin with his sword."
"I myself drove the Maybach and ran away. I was so scared that I almost cried." He became more and more excited.
"I really hated my cowardly face at that moment. If I was given another chance to choose, I would pull out the long knife on the other side of the car door and rush back, and join that man, even if I die in battle."
"It should be an honor for a boy to have the opportunity to die in battle with his father."
"But no one can change the past." Chu Zihang calmed down and whispered.
Lu Mingfei listened silently.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, "Brother, let's make a deal."
"What deal?"
"I helped you kill Odin, but the price is everything you have now."
"Will you choose to agree?"
"..." Chu Zihang remained silent.
"It's easy to handle!" Lu Mingfei slapped the table, "It's very simple. As long as you give the order, senior brother, I will go and twist off Odin's bitch's head and bring it to you." p>

"But the question is, do you really like this result?" Lu Mingfei stared into his eyes, "Even if the cost is...everything."
"I don't know."
"How can I know or not?" Lu Mingfei pulled back, opened a bag of potato chips on the table and ate, "Actually, you already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"
"Maybe."
"Brother, have you figured out the key to the problem?" Lu Mingfei stretched out his greasy finger and tapped Chu Zihang's chest from the air, "The key is, what do you want here?"
Chu Zihang looked down at the place where Lu Mingfei pointed, and there was a heart beating there.
"I believe you were really bent on revenge before." He put a potato chip into his mouth and Katcha bit it into pieces, "but now you can't be absolutely sure."
"..." Chu Zihang said in a frustrated tone, "You're right."
"Then what are you still hesitating about?"
"If someone cares about you so much, don't let her not see the response, otherwise the girl will be sad."
"But my body..." Chu Zihang clenched his fists tightly.
"That's not important. Have you ever heard of a saying?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows, "There must be a road for a car to reach the mountain, and for a boat to reach the bridge."
"Hmm..."
"Brother, do you still remember what I told you about my ideals at the lake that day?" Lu Mingfei said suddenly, "I only talked about the first stage at that time. Do you want to hear about my second stage ideals?"
”
"Okay." Chu Zihang nodded.
"I used to
I'm looking forward to marrying a girl who has long, jet-black hair, can wear an orange sundress, can ride a horse, plays the piano well, and always makes fragrant Mandheling coffee for me during afternoon tea time."<
/p>
"I work hard for this goal - for example, reading a new book every day, thinking that I can share this book with her in the future; practicing calligraphy, thinking about using this beautiful handwriting to write a love letter to her in the future
"Work hard to make money, so that I will have some savings to go on vacation to the Caribbean with her in the future."
"Why is it inconsistent with your past life?" Chu Zihang asked doubtfully.
"Oh, brother, please don't interrupt, that's not the point." Lu Mingfei waved his hand a little awkwardly, "But what about the person I love now? She doesn't have long black hair, doesn't wear a sundress, doesn't ride a horse or play the piano.
Nor can I make Mandheling coffee."
"But her curly red hair is very beautiful. When she wears a long coarse skirt, she feels homely and elegant. Although she can't cook yet, I believe she will definitely cook well after learning cooking skills in the future.
Chinese food."
"I like everything about her, especially how she always hums softly when she is bored."
Chu Zihang listened silently, the big boy bathing in the sun in front of him was full of daydreams about the future, as if they were about to overflow.
"I mean, life is like this. It's full of unknowns. It's probably a special journey?"
"You put your bags in the car and drive along the long road to the distant town on the map. You have never been there, but you only heard that it is beautiful."
"Many years later, you walked through the fog and thorns and finally arrived at a small town, only to find that it was not the same town as the one marked on the map.
"But it's also good. After walking a long way, I finally reached a certain end point. I can walk into a small teahouse on the street, order a cup of hot tea, and drink it slowly. In the dense aroma of hot tea, the whole small
The sound, light, temperature and smell of the town... all come to you bit by bit."
"This is your home, and you will cherish it from this moment on."
"Hey, senior brother, have you ever thought about what will happen to us in the future?" Lu Mingfei asked enthusiastically, stood up, sat next to Chu Zihang and put his arms around his shoulders.
"No." Chu Zihang said honestly.
"I imagined a moment when we were driving. It should be a self-driving trip. It doesn't matter the destination. We just go wherever we want."
"I'll sit in front with you, you drive, or I'll drive."
"Our girls are sitting in the back. They are very happy and chatting."
"Wait a minute," Chu Zihang asked, "your girl is Nono, then who is my girl?"
"Xia Mi!" Lu Mingfei blinked in amusement, "Senior brother, you really don't know what she thinks about you, do you?"
"I know, but I..."
"Oh, don't worry about that, listen to me, what did I just say?"
"Speaking of racing on the highway."
"Yeah, that's right. I like to listen to Jay Chou while racing on the highway, so I play Jay Chou's songs and turn up the volume a little louder. While the car stereo is singing loudly, I open the window and let the wind blow in and mess up my eyes.
Hair."
"There was the biggest Coke in the drink holder. I put my elbow out of the car window, held the steering wheel with one hand, and headed south against the oncoming ninety mile-per-hour wind."
"Because there are warm beaches in the south!" Lu Mingfei said loudly, "I like the beach the most!"
"At that moment we were running like lightning, laughing loudly. There was something outside the car that wanted to bother you, but you were not afraid."
"Because you are heading towards the warm south. Being young and frivolous or looking forward to the Sunshine Coast makes you think that you can run infinitely fast, just like riding Cao Cao's war horse Jueying. The shadow cannot catch up with you, and the light cannot catch up with you.
, time can’t catch up with you."
"Those things outside the window that trouble you begin to disappear. The wind is getting warmer and warmer. The speed limit on the highway is getting higher and higher. The road goes straight ahead and the end is
A blue sky."
"We will pass by Pen, which has the best white sand beach in the United States. By the way, brother, have you ever played "Final Fantasy"?"
"No, but I have heard of this name."
"I'm sorry, I always forget that you didn't have a childhood..." Lu Mingfei held his forehead helplessly, and then said with excitement, "The fishing bridge stretching into the sea reminds me of Claude in "Final Fantasy"
A small town I’ve been to."
"We passed a long chain of islands that entered the Caribbean like threaded pearls, and the threads connecting them were one-lane highways."
"Perhaps there will be a team riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles next to our car. These Harley-Davidson enthusiasts like to run on the roads of Florida. They have club flags on the back seats of their cars, and they all have their chests puffed out.
The belly is like a Mongolian riding a horse to march westward."
"We can roll down the window and say hello to them. Hey, brothers over there, are you okay?" Lu Mingfei said, waving to the empty library, as if there was really a group of people riding Harleys over there.
Motorcycle riders.
A picture gradually emerged in Chu Zihang's mind. They were on the road, with palm trees rustling in the wind. 1/3 of the world he saw was the color of the road, 1/3 was the green of the palm trees, 1
/3 is the blue of the sea.
He looked at his girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror. The girl blinked and smiled brightly at him, with the tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth exposed, which was very eye-catching.
Lu Mingfei was still talking happily, "Finally our car stopped because it ran out of gas and could no longer drive. In front of it was a vast sea. People on the beach were playing volleyball in the sun. On both sides,
The neon lights in the bar light up as dusk approaches."
"We opened the car door and walked out. The salty sea breeze blew in our faces. The sun was setting. It felt like you finally caught up with it and saw the most beautiful moment..."
