Chapter 145 Xu Tongdao's Way of Controlling People
The three of them went to the riverside to soak for an hour. When they returned to their residence, Tongdao Xu originally wanted to read for a while, but after drinking tonight, his head felt dizzy.
Just put down the book, lie down and go to sleep.
When he woke up and opened his eyes, it was dark in the room and dark outside the window.
In the room, only Xu Tonglin's snoring could be heard.
Comrade Xu raised his hand and pinched the electronic watch on his wrist. The small screen lit up and it was 11:42 in the middle of the night.
The urine bubble was a little swollen, so he got up and got out of bed, came out of the house, and went to the toilet in the corner of the yard to urinate.
The yard was also very quiet, with only the slightest sound of insects chirping in the corner. At this time, the night breeze was slightly cool, taking away the heat of the day.
When the sound of urination sounded, Xu Tongdao felt that he had slept well and his head was very clear. He probably would not be able to fall asleep in a short time.
So, he wanted to go to Wu Yali's place.
At this time, she might not be asleep yet.
He hasn't confirmed yet whether she will come to work in his store tomorrow!
Let’s take this opportunity to check it out!
With this thought in mind, he came out of the toilet and washed his hands under the faucet. He went back to the house and changed off the slippers on his feet, picked up cigarettes and a lighter, took the keys, and quietly went out.
…
When he came to the window of Wu Yali's house, he saw the changing light and shadow on the window glass and the sound of the TV coming from the house. He knew that she was not asleep yet.
"Boom!"
He knocked on her window again like last time.
"Who is it?"
Her lowered voice came from inside the room.
"it's me!"
…
Not long after, she opened the door wearing purple pajamas.
Comrade Xu smiled and walked in. She closed the door behind her.
"Is Yaya asleep?" he asked.
"Well, I've fallen asleep a long time ago." She replied in a low voice.
"Then go upstairs!"
Comrade Xu said and walked towards the stairs.
Wu Yali followed behind quietly, as well-behaved as a well-informed little daughter-in-law.
For a long time, the two of them were covered in sweat and lay hugging each other on the bed on the second floor.
After not coming for a few days, the leak in the roof of this room has been repaired and the wardrobe has been returned to its original position. When she just went upstairs, Wu Yali took the initiative to move out a bed of cotton wool from the wardrobe. The difference from the previous two times was that
——This time she even took the initiative to take a bed sheet and put it on top of the cotton wool.
Falling asleep was much more comfortable than the previous two times, except for being a little hot.
"Don't come too often in the future, okay? It's not good if someone sees you."
She whispered in his ear.
Tongdao Xu hummed, turned his face slightly, and looked at her face in front of him, "My barbecue restaurant will be open tomorrow night. Are you sure? Are you going to work?"
"Well, let's forget it! I've thought about it carefully these days, and I still don't feel comfortable leaving Yaya to her grandpa and grandma, so I'm sorry! I just told you not to go now, am I asking you to
Are you in a dilemma? It’s hard for you to find someone if you’re in a hurry right now, right?”
Wu Yali looked apologetic, but she meant to refuse.
Tongdao Xu smiled faintly and shook his head slightly, "It's okay. If you don't want to go, don't go! It's not a big deal. I'll just let my brother collect the money for the time being. By the way, when you want to eat barbecue, you can go to my place to eat.
One o'clock, I'll give you a free bill!"
"You're not angry?"
Wu Yali stood up, pulled away from him a little, and examined his expression. She seemed surprised that he was not angry.
"What's there to be angry about? It's a trivial matter!"
Tongdao Xu raised his hand and touched her face, pouting slightly. She had a good understanding and gave him a charming look, but then she lowered her head and pecked him on the mouth.
…
It was after three o'clock in the morning that Comrade Xu came out of her house.
A man was walking alone on a cold and empty street in the early morning. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette. As he walked, he subconsciously walked to the other side of the road. To his left was the dark river.
At night, you can vaguely see the gentle waves on the river.
Looking at the dark river surface, Comrade Xu felt his heart slowly become calm.
My mind also becomes particularly clear.
He thought of many past events, and also recalled the events and scenes he had experienced in the short three or four months after his rebirth.
He subconsciously began to reflect on himself.
Reflect on your character shortcomings and what you did wrong before you were reborn.
He also reflected on what he had not done well after being reborn, or what he could have done better.
He knew that after his rebirth, he had consciously changed his personality, especially the way he behaved and acted.
But most of the shortcomings in his character cannot be corrected.
Personality is deeply ingrained and is formed over decades. It is said that a person's nature is easy to change but hard to change.
Now it seems that this is absolutely correct.
His personality is almost the same as before, only the details have changed. It is still difficult for him to be enthusiastic towards people. In the dead of night, he still feels lonely.
He always feels that he is outside the world, but he clearly lives in the world.
The biggest change should be that my ability to act has been strengthened, and I have never delayed or given up on anything I wanted to do.
Also, some people and things that he had always subconsciously avoided in the past, now he also took the initiative to approach and come into contact with.
For example, I saved Zheng Qing’s life before.
For example, a few days ago, I saved the lives of Xi Dongyang and that Dongzi.
In the past, he was very afraid of getting into trouble, especially on mobile news. After seeing too many disgusting things about repaying kindness with hatred and deliberately trying to get into trouble, he didn't dare to help others easily.
He knew that this was the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and many people did this. In the past, he also felt that many people did this, and there was nothing wrong with him if he did the same.
But now he doesn't think so.
He began to feel that people who would repay kindness with hatred could not be everywhere, and he should lend a helping hand when he could.
It not only accumulates virtue, but also makes people owe him favors.
He is not good at making friends, but as long as others owe him a favor, it is often more reliable than friendship.
He still remembered that before he was reborn, there was a saying that was very popular - among relatives and friends, helping you is a matter of love, and not helping you is a duty.
So...can friendship really be reliable?
But what if he has given others great kindness, even life-saving grace?
When you need the other person's helping hand, can the other person still say that helping you is out of love? Is it your duty not to help?
…
Thinking of this, Comrade Xu smiled and shook his head slightly.
He feels that he has found a way to make up for his inability to make friends. If he is not good at making friends, then he should try his best to find opportunities to be kind to others!
As long as there are more and more people who owe you kindness, you will have more and more available people on your hands, and they will be very reliable.
For example, with Xi Dongyang, he didn't believe that after Xi Dongyang recovered and was discharged from the hospital, he would not be grateful to Comrade Xu. If he used him to do things again in the future, would he be embarrassed to not try his best in Xi Dongyang?
