Chapter 70 Beauty and the Beast

(Thank you ChelesaKaKa, Klarkxy10000, Lone Survivor 222 boss for the 10,000 rewards)

(Many people have never heard of vaporwave music. I recommend one - "Tokyo Confusion" NetEase Cloud)

Cheng Xiao listened to Zhong Mo's analysis and felt it was so amazing. His eyes were wide open like a curious baby's almond-shaped eyes, and his delicate lips were slightly opened: "Then what kind of music do I like?"

Cheng Mo looked at Cheng Xiao's jewel-like eyes that sparkled with curiosity, and replied expressionlessly: "Miss, I'm not a fortune teller. The deduction method is a scientific logical reasoning method, and its generation requires sufficient conditions.

, its inductive judgment also requires sufficient conditions, just like the questions of mathematics, physics and chemistry. If you don’t have enough conditions to solve it, it is completely nonsense... The reason why we can judge that this classmate likes vapor wave is because she

The conditions provided are sufficient..."

Cheng Xiao didn't understand Cheng Mo's excuse at all, and continued to ask with interest: "Then let me give you two hints, okay?"

Cheng Mo thought to himself: There is a fee for fortune telling. My time is precious and I don’t have time to waste time with you here. So he said casually: "You like ancient music..."

Because Cheng Xiao just sang an ancient song, Cheng Mo was completely perfunctory here, without sufficient analysis at all, just to get rid of the topic quickly. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao applauded in disbelief and replied: "

That’s amazing...I hit the mark right away! You are really as magical as a fortune teller..."

Cheng Mo twitched the corners of his mouth twice and was speechless. He took the phone from Yan Yitong and said, "You guys chat!" He turned around and left without giving them a chance to stay.

Seeing Cheng Mo running away, Yan Yitong smiled and said, "I asked Cheng Banxian to tell his fortune, but I don't believe he doesn't understand..." After saying that, he turned around and followed Cheng Mo in the direction he left.

Xie Minyun did not speak, but turned around and began to pick up a fork to handle the salmon sashimi on the dinner plate. The bright silver fork shone with colorful luster in the sun, like makeup on her white wrist. Her movements were quiet and

Elegant, like a giraffe in a mottled jungle.

Du Leng thought to himself: Even if Xie Minyun doesn't have such a profound background, pursuing her is not a loss. He looked at the salmon on Xie Minyun's plate and asked the waiter to bring a bottle of Chardonnay brewed in Sancerre in the Loire Valley.

Then he said to Xie Minyun: "This white wine with oak flavor is the most suitable wine to pair with the creamy salmon. Its fuller body and oak flavor will echo the weight and taste of the salmon. It will definitely

It can give you a more different experience.”

Xie Minyun didn't seem to hear him, and Du Leng didn't mind either, nor was he discouraged. He tilted his head and said to Cheng Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, do you want to eat something?"

Although Cheng Xiao was silly and sweet, he also knew that he couldn't be a light bulb at this time. He smiled and said: "I'm going to bake something to eat by myself. There hasn't been a BBQ for a long time, and the company doesn't allow us to eat meat. To be honest, I

I have long wanted to eat meat and gone crazy..."

Du Leng said: "Okay, then I will come and find you later."

Cheng Xiao quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about me, it's easier for me to be alone..."

Du Leng smiled and said nothing, then Cheng Xiao turned around and walked towards the oven. Du Leng looked at Cheng Xiao's slender waist swaying like willows in the breeze, and a pair of plump and white legs in the slit cheongsam skirt.

Faintly visible in the display, I thought: This is also a pure natural beauty, but it is not the right time to take action. After I go to college, I will never let go of a girl like this.

Du Leng turned his gaze back and asked the waiter at the long table for a plate and fork. Standing next to Xie Minyun, he also ordered a few pieces of salmon and said, "I have always known that you are a good singer, but to be honest

Yes, you shocked me today..." Du sneered after a pause and said, "Of course, it would be more perfect if the song wasn't "Beauty and the Beast"...

"

Xie Minyun said: "Thank you for your compliment. I just sing this song because I simply like it..."

Du Leng naturally knew that Xie Minyun meant, don't think too much, I sing this song has nothing to do with you. Naturally, he would not give up because of Xie Minyun's words of persuasion. In his plan, Xie Minyun and her

Xie Minyun's family background is an indispensable thing for him, and Xie Minyun meets all his expectations, and even far exceeds them. After all, even if Xie Minyun is not beautiful and has poor grades, Du Leng will pursue her.

So Du Leng pretended not to mind Xie Minyun's indifference at all, and said gracefully: "I like this song very much, but when I think that this fairy tale evolved from a dark adult story, I still feel a little hard to let go (Note 1)

.....”

Xie Minyun said meaningfully: "Aren't humans just so good at pretending?"

Du Leng said softly: "In order to survive, you always have to learn to disguise, but I think there is always someone in this world who can make you defenseless, let you completely remove your defenses and lose your disguise..."

His voice is very magnetic, like the whisper of the narrator in a documentary. He is handsome and tall, like the male protagonist in an idol drama. Du Leng, who has started the winner mode in life, is still very touching.

However, for Xie Minyun, who was also born as a winner in life, she has seen too many people like Du Leng and has long been immune to such personalities. Although Du Leng is good enough, he is really far less attractive than Cheng Mo.

.

To her, Cheng Mo was like a difficult question that she couldn't understand.

Xie Minyun did not continue what Du Leng said. He quickly finished the salmon on the plate, handed the plate and fork to the waiter, wiped his mouth with a wet wipe, tilted his head slightly and said calmly to Du Leng who was standing aside.

: "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom..."

At this time, the waiter happened to come over with wine and cups and asked: "Master, do you want to wake up or drink directly?"

The gentleness on Du Leng's face slowly faded into stiffness. His eyes focused on the figure of Xie Minyun who was gradually moving away behind the young waiter and he said coldly: "Does this wine need to be sobered up?"

The waiter didn't know what he had done wrong, so he quickly said: "Then I will pour you wine now..." Then he asked cautiously: "How many drinks do you need?" He didn't know if Xie Minyun would come back.

.

Du Leng resisted the urge to hit someone, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, take it back..."

The waiter bowed and said, "Yes..." and quickly left Du Leng, who seemed to be in a bad mood.

Note 1 - The history of the evolution of "Beauty and the Beast" is very long. It first started in the 18th century, starting in 1740. Mrs. Gabriel-Suzanne Villeneuve based it on her favorite Roman poet Ovid's "Metamorphoses".

"The story in "Beauty and the Beast" was created as a 200-page novel.

She was a great inspiration to another writer, the French writer Jeanne-Marie Riprince de Beaumont in the 1750s. Villeneuve's audience was mainly adults, while Beaumont was children, so she wrote boldly

This story has been adapted.

The most crucial one is the question the Beast asks every night: "Will you sleep with me?" changed to "Will you marry me?"

The former is primitive sexual desire, and the latter is innocent fantasy. No matter which of these two forms, some people are obsessed with it and believe it.

1771

French writer Marmontel and French composer Grétry collaborated on the opera version of "Beauty and the Beast" "Zemire et Azor". Later, there were many movies adapted from "Beauty and the Beast", but most of them were dark and terrifying versions.

Until it was adapted into an animated film by Disney in 1991, this Disney version of "Beauty and the Beast" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Film, and was also the first animated film to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. From then on, "Beauty and the Beast"

》 turned into a fairy tale.

In fact, there is another theory that the prototype of "Beauty and the Beast" comes from a Spanish boy named Petrus Gonsalvus. In 1537, Petrus was covered with hair when he was born.

The scientific name of this disease is Ambras syndrome, also known as congenital hirsutism. This is an extremely rare genetic disease that often has family factors, is caused by autosomal aberrations, and has skipped-generation inheritance.

tendency.

There are only 50 recorded cases of this disease since the Middle Ages, and Petrus was the first "half-were" documented to suffer from hirsutism.

At that time, European royal nobles used to own special species as a symbol of status. So Petrus's father decided to give his 10-year-old son as a gift to King Henry II of France.

The nobles of the French royal family were completely shocked when they saw Petrus. They had never seen such a half-man, half-animal. On the one hand, they were curious, and on the other hand, they were very worried that Petrus would become animalistic.

So they decided to keep Petrus in captivity in the Royal Zoo.

They hoped that this "orc" who was still a child would soon show his fangs and burst out his bestiality, so that they could use Petrus as a pastime like watching an animal fighting show. However, after later discovering that this child was just a person with hair, they felt

It was no fun, so I taught this child knowledge and etiquette, turning him into a civilized monster.

In order to allow this hairy "monster" to have offspring and send them out as gifts, the Queen Mother insisted on finding a wife for Petrus. Later, she found such a woman who broke the world's prejudices, but the end was tragic, and she gave birth to four children.
