Chapter 2751 The Most Beautiful People in the World
Birthday?
Gift?
When he heard the first word, the Black Gem Cat subconsciously thought of the second word. A trace of dazedness appeared on the round cat's face, and even the body sleeping far away in the 403 dormitory muttered uneasy and turned over on the bed.
He felt that he hadn't heard this word for a long time.
When was the last birthday?
In theory, it was last year, and it was only 365 days away from today. But there were so many things that made him feel like he was a different life. No, it wasn't like a different life, but a real "different life". Whether it was an adventure in the dream this year, the outbreak of the Black Prison incident, or the other corners of the first university that really touched the wizard world, for him, it was a journey of a "different world" again and again.
As for the gift.
Last year, the gentleman gave him a class sheet to teach him what is the "Three Gentlemen and Taoists" - that is, the so-called "The benevolent are not worried, the wise are not confused, and the brave are not afraid" - Through three classes, he deeply understood the relationship between the wizard and the demon, taught him how to deal with the relationship between the wizard and the Yuexia clan, and at the same time weighed whether he could bear the truth about the demon.
Although it only took a year, this gift had already benefited him a lot, and his intuition told him that even in the distant future, the value of this gift was immeasurable.
“My class schedule is very full this year.”
When the black gem cat heard the words "Happy Birthday", he was moved and couldn't help but pick the tip of his tail and muttered in a low voice, worried that his husband would throw him another class schedule and take up the time he had just squeezed out to play in the evening.
Huang Huali, who had been closing her eyes next to her, opened her eyes in shock and glanced at the little black cat at her feet.
I thought that after more than a year of experience, this kid had grown a lot, but I didn't expect that he would still be a child who could not grow up - how lucky it would be to let the teacher teach privately. How dare he say he didn't have time? If the professors in the school, no, the members of the Alliance's Great Wizards Council knew that they had the opportunity to listen to the teacher's lectures, they would probably be able to make a fool of each other's minds.
Feng'er seemed to be shocked by the black gem cat's lungs and stopped moving.
"Only dead people don't have time!"
Huang Huali scolded her and wanted to slap the Black Gem Cat when she raised her claws, but then she lifted her claws and remembered that the guy beside her was just a gem clone. Slapping it would only make its claws hurt.
Just as it hesitates.
A chuckle came from the wind.
The rustling of leaves sounded again.
"—When it comes to time... do you still remember what the gift I gave you when you were twelve years old?" The gentleman's tone seemed quite unusual.
You know, for a wizard like Mr., ten or twenty years are just fleeting, so there is no emotion worth remembering.
The black gem cat's mind flashed through his surprise, but he quickly answered his husband's question:
"Remember, it's a pocket watch."
And it is a magical pocket watch that can reverse time, he added in his heart.
However, this pocket watch is very different from the hourglass issued by the school. The most obvious thing is that Zheng Qing can use the hourglass to adjust the timeline, but until now he has not been able to poke his finger into the glass shell of the pocket watch.
So, for him, as of now, that pocket watch is just a very accurate timer.
"What did I say at that time?"
“——You said, my most precious wealth is time.”
"Yes, now I will explain this sentence to you again, but it will be from another perspective."
Feng'er paused for a moment. Although the black gem cat did not open his eyes, it seemed as if he saw the leaves swaying slightly on the branches: "Before the explanation, I had a small question: Do you know who the most beautiful person in this world is?"
The first string of words appeared in the black cat's mind were "mirror", "witch" and "fairy tale".
Then it shook its head.
My mind was immediately occupied by the figure of the big fox.
"Su Shijun?" he replied tentatively.
The soft sneer of the yellow flower roar came from his ears.
The gentleman smiled softly, as if he was not surprised by the boy's answer: "Ah, indeed, that little girl from the Su family is indeed very beautiful. It is normal for you to know Mu Shaoai at your age... But what I want to say is not this. In my eyes, the most beautiful person in the world is a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, even if they look ordinary, do you know why?"
The Black Gem Cat has entered class status.
After hesitating, he gave the only answer he could think of: "Because they are all very young."
"Yes, young."
The wind pressed against the branches and undulating slightly, as if the gentleman was nodding gently: "——A girl of sixteen or seventeen is very beautiful, because it is not a person who looks good, but a vigor and youthful person of sixteen or seventeen. For any life, this state is the most beautiful. Some people are in a dusk at a young age, while others are still childish after living a thousand or eight hundred years old.
The difference lies in the ‘mentality’.
When I gave you that pocket watch, I once said that I am not afraid of death and aging, but I am occasionally worried about my powerlessness. A powerful wizard can defeat death, but it is difficult to defeat the vitality taken away by time little by little.
Old Huang always said in my ear that you are not mature enough—”
Huang Huali made a noise, as if she was dissatisfied with her husband's words of making trouble in person. The Black Gem Cat didn't care, after all, the Cat Cat said worse things in front of it.
"—But I hope you can maintain this immature state as long as possible." The warm evening breeze gently brushed across the black gem cat's head, as if feeling the vitality surging in its body: "Because this state can retain your vitality. Too mercy and calculation are the poison of immortality. In a short period of time - I mean hundreds of years or longer - you may not feel the disadvantages of this poison, but you will feel that this maturity has brought you more benefits.
But a little longer, after a thousand years, three thousand years, ten thousand years, this mentality of calculating interests and losses in everything and being able to stop calculating at any time and anywhere will unknowingly destroy your anger, making you gradually become a cold machine, a presence like a rotten wood or stone.
At that time, you were no longer you.
Remember the collection of reply?
Some of the old people living there are some poor people who have to use time to survive after being eroded by the poison of immortality. They have to use magic to trace some of their emotions when they were young so that they will not be "silent". I know, you have always felt that the sign of Huiziji is old and want to change them to new brands. But if you try it, you will find that the new brand will soon be covered in dust and become a dilapidated antique."
