I have been in love with Yingying for so many years, and even if my parents don't support it, I have always been sure that she is the one who can accompany me for the rest of my life.
What happened later, when I first met Qingqing, I didn't think I could really fall in love with her.
It turns out that I overestimated my moral level.
When I discovered that Yingying could not wake up for a long time, and the dopamine threshold when I was with Qingqing was far higher than before, I finally failed to hold on to my bottom line and gradually fell into despair.
What happened next? When I first fell into love, I felt quite guilty. I felt that I had done something extremely unhuman, and I also thought that I would never be attracted to any other woman except Qingqing.
But after meeting Tong Ruoqing, I started to slap myself again. She has this kind of magic power that makes people want to pamper her and protect her unconsciously. This has nothing to do with appearance or life experience. I don’t know why she does this.
It has such great appeal.
I was even a little scared, afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep my promise to Qingqing that I would never accept anyone else except Ruoqing.
Fortunately, Sophia gave me reassurance. She is excellent in appearance, temperament, and identity. However, I have not been tempted by her in the past few days, which proves that I am not hopeless yet.
While Alexander was communicating with Sophia, these messy thoughts kept echoing in my mind.
The uncle and niece, including two high-status priests, were chattering and glancing at me from time to time. The content was nothing more than that everyone was trying to persuade Sophia to calm down, but Sophia was determined to sacrifice herself for the Holy See.
The two sides argued endlessly, and then Sofia directly launched her ultimate attack: "There is no need to persuade me anymore. As a saint, I order you to obey my decision."
Alexander was anxious: "Shut up and warn you as an elder. Whether it is for the dignity of the Holy See or the honor of the Romanov family, I will not support your childish decision!"
"My dear uncle, you finally spoke your mind."
Sophia suddenly sneered, causing me to turn my head sharply.
She actually said a line that was completely unplanned: "You only care about the so-called dignity and honor, and you don't care about my feelings at all. Over the years, who in the entire family has thought about my sister and me?
Have you ever asked her about her ideals? Have you given me a choice? Never. You just use us as a tool and as a bargaining chip to maintain your right to speak in the Holy See.
This is not the life I want at all. I just want to be an ordinary person, but you have deprived me of the right to a normal life. Even after I become a saint, my behavior will be controlled by you. If it were not for your stupidity, things might not be possible at all.
It won't develop into what it is now.
From now on, don’t say ‘no’ to me, and don’t try to influence my will, I won’t accept it!”
Under the ignorant tree are ignorant fruits, under the ignorant tree are you and me.
I was really confused, and looked at Tong Ruoqing dumbfounded: "Is this your personal disciple? How come you are in the same state as when you were talking against your father?"
Tong Ruoqing was even more confused: "I don't understand, what did she just say?"
"It's okay, she just complimented me on how handsome I look."
I brushed off the topic casually, and a series of question marks flashed through my head.
I just wonder what Sophia was thinking. Why did she suddenly seem to be a different person and say such rebellious words? Was it because of the influence of the soul-destroying demonic sound or because of her true feelings?
If she makes trouble, all my plans will be messed up. How can I push her to the position of patriarch?
The Orthodox Christians present did not expect that Sofia would say such a thing.
Alexander's fat face drooped, his eyes were as cold as an ice cellar, he was probably so angry that his body couldn't help but tremble.
After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said to Sophia: "You are no longer qualified to be a saint."
Sophia responded tit for tat: "The status of a saint is given by God, and you are not qualified to make decisions for God."
At this time, Sophia looked like a real saint. This kind of superior temperament cannot be cultivated overnight.
"Shut up!"
Feeling that things were a little out of control, Alexander temporarily suppressed his anger: "Mr. Gu, please remove the barrier, I want to go outside with Sophia to talk about something.
Please rest assured that I am the person with the highest status in the Vladivostok Church and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
This sentence was translated by Zhuo Yi. I don’t know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, but thinking that Sophia had already sworn an oath, I decided to wait and see and silently said to my inner demon: "Let it go."
The star power that shrouded the room gradually faded away.
The inner demon laughed sinisterly: "I am interested in this woman again. What I want is to conquer the queen who is condescending and looks down on all living beings. Playing with an obedient and good baby is really boring."
"Please stop beeping."
I ignored my demons and pretended not to care and said to Alexander, "Let's talk. I want to see what answer you can give me."
"Thank you very much."
After greeting Sophia, Alexander stepped out of the room.
Sofia also looked very magnanimous. She took a deep breath and followed Alexander out.
The priests present looked at each other.
"Go check on Sergey's injury and find a quiet room to help him heal."
A priest with the highest status issued an order, and others responded one after another. Some went to carry Sergei, some went to the rescue, and some simply didn't even bother to make excuses. They looked at me in fear, and then trotted away.
Soon, the three of us were the only ones left in the room.
I was a little unaccustomed to this sudden silence: "Did I use too much force?"
"No, no, the effect is quite good."
Zhuo Yi, a melon-eater, came over with a smile: "The script is well written, and Sophia's acting skills are also very good. The effect of the show just now was explosive, and the voice was full of emotion. Didn't you see that Alexander's face turned green?"
I twitched my lips helplessly: "Do you believe me if I say that it was not the script I arranged just now?"
"Isn't it the script you arranged?"
Zhuo Yi was stunned: "You mean... those things that are treasonous to the Holy See were what Sophia wanted to say? Damn it, you are just talking about what you say, but you have really shaken people's faith in just a few days?"
Tong Ruoqing was a little unhappy: "You two just bullied me for not knowing Russian. I don't even know what happened just now."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot about my baby."
I described the conversation between Sophia and Alexander just now to Tong Ruoqing in as short a language as possible: "That's pretty much it. Anyway, I didn't ask her to say those words."
"That's it...then I seem to understand a little bit."
Tong Ruoqing nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly sighed: "Hey, this saint named Sophia must be a poor person too..."
