23. How do you make me wish you a good order
"Of course I'm here to have lunch and then have lunch break."
Facing Mo Nanbei's replies, Li Ziqian answered seriously without any panic.
"It's a coincidence, so do I."
Imitating Li Ziqian's tone, Mo Nanbei replied with an honest look.
Both of them had first-class abilities to tell lies with their eyes open. After this "confrontation", they both realized this clearly.
"Oh yell? Don't you usually have lunch in the cafeteria?" Li Ziqian continued to ask Mo Nanbei.
The implication of this question raised by Li Ziqian is:
I usually eat in the cafeteria, right? Why do you suddenly want to come to the rooftop to eat today? And why did you come so early today? Are there anything else to do? Do you have ulterior motives? Accept it quickly! Let me stand on the commanding heights of morality and condemn you for a wave!
"Aren't you?"
The implication of Mo Nanbei's rhetorical question is:
Do you suspect I have a problem? How do you explain it to yourself?
"I really want to have a sandwich today."
Li Ziqian, who understood Mo Nanbei's voice-over, replied.
"Same for me."
As he said that, Mo Nanbei took out the sandwich she had bought in the cafeteria and supermarket from her pocket with a calm look on her face, and shook it at Li Ziqian, as if proving the authenticity of her words.
“…”
It can only be said that it is not a good thing for two people to have too similar brain circuits.
The only fun at noon disappeared. I joked that the object of the entertainment was not trapped. Instead, I almost tricked him, supporting Li Ziqian's source of happiness to dissipate.
Walking to the rooftop, Li Ziqian and Mo Nanbei walked to where they were yesterday.
Li Ziqian sat aside, looking up at the sky, and slowly gnawed the sandwich.
In silence, Li Ziqian recalled the unpleasant conversation with Lao Wang during the self-study class.
On the other side, Mo Nanbei, who was sitting on a high place, was eating the sandwich in his hand, and his legs hanging in the air were shaking forward and backward. The light of his eyes, who was looking around, fell on Li Ziqian intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that Li Ziqian's expression gradually changed from original surprise and indifferent to solemnity, she tilted her head in confusion.
After turning her head and staring at Li Ziqian for almost two minutes, she cleared her throat and asked Li Ziqian.
"Why are your face so bad?
Why, I didn’t get the heat when I went to the toilet?”
“…”
At first, when Li Ziqian heard the first sentence, a little touched flashed in his heart.
"Can you speak human words?"
Without even looking up at Mo Nanbei, Li Ziqian replied angrily.
"I was called out by Lao Wang and scolded me?" Mo Nanbei continued to ask, ignoring Li Ziqian's tone and response.
"Can you hope I can order something good?"
"Your face is so wrong. Why do you want me to order you good?"
“…”
Clear ideas and self-consistent logic.
What Mo Nanbei said seems to be nothing wrong.
Silence, hesitated for a little while, after taking a deep breath, Li Ziqian replied to Mo Nanbei in a calm tone as much as possible,
"It's just a normal spiritual chicken soup for the start of school."
"Oh, drinking chicken soup can make your face green, and you will see you for a long time."
Mo Nanbei's tone was still so salty and uneven, as if he was talking sarcastic words, mocking Li Ziqian for his frustration at this moment.
Of course, this requires ignoring the occasional flash of her eyes and the concern that was not hidden.
I don’t know what it originated, maybe it was the desire to talk in my heart, which made Li Ziqian selectively ignore the spikes in Mo Nanbei’s words, and did not argue with her, nor did he refute anything. He spoke and continued to describe his previous conversation with Lao Wang.
"It was probably because he had talked to me about his life."
"Specific?" Mo Nanbei continued to ask.
"Well... you have to work hard, your life goals and ideals... I think what he said makes sense."
Li Ziqian's summary is abstract, but Mo Nanbei unexpectedly understood what he wanted to express.
As soon as Li Ziqian finished speaking, Mo Nanbei asked directly to him.
"But in fact, what he said is a little different from what you think?"
"Um?"
How did she know...?
Li Ziqian knew very well what he had just said.
Mo Nanbei could still follow his words, and even what he was going to answer was just what he was going to continue saying, which was no longer a bit outrageous.
It's very outrageous!
Li Ziqian's doubts were not answered, and Mo Nanbei did not get Li Ziqian's doubts at all. She continued to say to Li Ziqian,
"Well, this kind of thing happens often."
"uh-huh?"
“Just be sure to do what you want to do.”
Mo Nanbei shrugged, as if this was a simple and easy thing.
Listening to her words, Li Ziqian fell into a brief silence. Finally, he remembered something and asked again,
"Speaking of this, do you have any plans for the future?"
“Yes, but not quite.”
"specific……"
Mo Nanbei's response was very strange, which made Li Ziqian subconsciously choose to continue asking.
"My family has a very clear arrangement for me, but that arrangement is a bit contrary to what I really want.
Communicating with them or directly resisting is unrealistic as far as the current situation is concerned.
So, actually... maybe, this is considered to be completely unplanned."
Mo Nanbei lowered his eyes and replied to him in a rare tone that sounded helpless.
"But you still have some ideas?"
Whether it is obedient to the family or doing what you want, Li Ziqian seems to be quite goal-oriented.
Although Mo Nanbei's dialect is full of helplessness, Li Ziqian feels that Mo Nanbei's helplessness is mostly due to her anticipation of the inevitable disputes she has with her family in the future, and the helplessness that she has no way to discuss the way she expects to live with her family.
"It's not considered an idea..."
Mo Nanbei's shaking legs stopped. While thinking, she habitually raised her right leg to her left leg, and this time was no exception.
Taking a deep breath, she continued,
"Maybe, this kind of thinking is just because I want to escape responsibility and don't try hard?
Although I feel that there is nothing wrong with this, I can’t find any problems when thinking about what I want to do based on the values of normal humans.
However, at some point, I still think about whether what I want to do is correct and whether I deserve to be worthy of all those who have given me for me.
And what is more important is that I will wonder whether I can continue to follow my own ideas."
Mo Nanbei's words made Li Ziqian stunned for a moment.
