Chapter 1030: Hurt Self-Esteem
What a miserable man!
Medical Official Mu wanted to laugh, to laugh wantonly. But he held it back.
If he dared to laugh out loud, he suspected the other party would beat him to death on the spot.
For the sake of his life, he tried hard to endure, enduring it so uncomfortably.
Looking at his twitching shoulders, Chen Guanlou, who had been melancholy and unable to extricate himself, suddenly came to his senses. "Are you laughing at me?"
"Master misunderstood. Old man is feeling sad for Master!" Medical Official Mu defended solemnly: "With Master's appearance, status, and talent, Miss Yue leaving without saying goodbye is absolutely her loss. She doesn't know what a great opportunity she missed. Master is the best man she can meet in her life.
Alas, young girls, their eyes are shallow, they don't know the hardships of the world! In short, Master doesn't need to take it to heart for a woman. Taking a step back, Master slept with a flower-like girl, she didn't covet your status, didn't covet your money, didn't covet your marriage, Master made a profit!"
"I lost!" Chen Guanlou scolded sternly.
Medical Official Mu looked puzzled. "Did Master lose?" Where did he lose?
From beginning to end, Master didn't suffer a loss.
Chen Guanlou held his forehead; he couldn't say he lost his feelings. Although there wasn't much true love, and not much deep feeling, everything started from coveting beauty. However, alas, anyway, his heart felt uncomfortable!
"Could it be that Master is feeling sorry for the jade pendant taken by Miss Yue?" Medical Official Mu guessed boldly.
Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, with the air of "I'm not short of money." "Could I covet a jade pendant? Am I short of that bit of money?"
"Since Master doesn't covet the jade pendant, what did Master lose?"
"You're an old man, you don't understand."
"Old man has eaten more salt than Master has eaten rice. Old man indeed doesn't understand the inexplicable thoughts that occasionally pop up in young people. However, old man is well-informed, Master might as well say it, and old man will diagnose it for you."
Chen Guanlou looked up, wanting to look at the sky, but could only see the roof.
"For a moment, I really felt that having a woman at home was quite good. I thought it was a destined match, and marriage was something to consider. Who would have thought that she didn't covet it, and left without saying goodbye? Am I that ugly? Without even saying goodbye."
"So Master is melancholy because of this. Your problem mainly lies in your high self-regard; you can only accept that you look down on women, but cannot accept that a woman looks down on you. You just need to adjust your state and recognize reality, and your mood will improve." Medical Official Mu took on the air of a doctor, analyzing it, looking like the real thing, seemingly hitting the key point.
Chen Guanlou didn't believe it. "Am I that kind of person? I allow anyone to look down on me."
"You just say it with your mouth, but in reality, you have high self-regard and your eyes are above the top. In the end, Master, you have insufficient cognition of yourself. For example, in daily life, you can look down on those officials, but officials cannot look down on you. It's all the same principle!"
Medical Official Mu stroked his beard and analyzed it solemnly.
Chen Guanlou wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really like this.
He looked at all officials equally; they were all the same kind of people! Regardless of whether they were talented or water-goods, once they entered the officialdom, they were all the same kind of goods. He looked down on all of them equally.
To extend it, could it be that he was only unhappy because Yue Xin rejected him?
Was he really a person who didn't allow anyone to reject him?
Was he that arrogant? That conceited?
"No, no! I am definitely not that kind of person. Old Mu, you are exaggerating."
"Even if there is a certain degree of exaggeration, in essence, old man didn't say anything wrong. It's just a woman, she left, so she left, why be melancholy. The women around Master, coming and going so many, when have I seen you so melancholy and unable to be happy? It's nothing more than this time you had the thought of marriage, but the other party was not willing to marry you, so you were angry from shame. It's rare for you to have a thought, but the other party didn't know how to cherish it. This is the crux of Master's anger!"
Is it like this?
Chen Guanlou pondered.
He beckoned and let Medical Official Mu lean closer. "Look at me, am I really that arrogant, conceited? Not allowing others to reject me?"
Medical Official Mu observed for a while, looking like the real thing. "Master, you have walked too smoothly these years. It's inevitable to be a bit arrogant and occasionally conceited. Change to someone else, they would only be ten times or a hundred times more arrogant and conceited than you! Playing more wildly than you! Master, you are already very good, considered a rare clear stream!"
Praised like this, Chen Guanlou was a bit unaccustomed. But his heart was happy, quite satisfied.
Old Mu really knew how to talk, hitting the heart.
"According to what you said, I actually don't really like Yue Xin, just coveting her beauty?"
Medical Official Mu laughed, with the look of someone who had seen through everything. "Master, all liking starts from coveting beauty. Women like gold and silver jewelry, starting from looking good. Like beautiful clothes, starting from looking good.
Men like women, starting from looking good. Men like being officials, not only starting from looking good, but also gaining profit and power. Like big houses, naturally also starting from looking good. No matter how well-equipped a small house is, no matter how good it is, it can't compare to the brightness and beauty of a big house.
Master coveting Miss Yue's beauty is normal. If you didn't covet beauty, it would be abnormal. Old man would be afraid to suspect whether Master changed his preferences and went for the male wind?"
"Go, go..." Chen Guanlou waved his hand with extreme disdain.
No matter how he changed, he wouldn't change his sexual orientation.
"That is to say, currently it's still at the stage of starting from coveting beauty, not reaching the step of talking about feelings. But the other party rejected it, and then I couldn't stand it, hurting my self-esteem. You want to say this, right?"
Medical Official Mu laughed, indicating he hadn't said it.
What self-esteem or not, that was all summarized by Master himself. It had nothing to do with him.
Chen Guanlou snorted coldly. "I finally understand, to summarize, Yue Xin leaving without saying goodbye hurt my self-esteem, so I felt uncomfortable, broke my defense, and wanted to die."
"Master, these are all things you said yourself, old man didn't say a word." Medical Official Mu cleared his relationship again.
"You didn't say it, but that's what you meant!"
"Master misunderstood! Old man means, where in the world is there no fragrant grass, why single-mindedly miss one flower! Master often says, passing through ten thousand flowers, not a single leaf sticks to the body. Now why have you fallen into a misunderstanding yourself. Master, this is not allowed! Red powder and withered bones, when old and dead, they are all the same kind of goods, really not worth it!"
Medical Official Mu was a proper experienced person, as a doctor, regardless of man or woman, it was all the same thing.
Chen Guanlou waved his hand. "I understand what you mean. Rest assured, I don't blame you! You were just trying to enlighten me. You are right, where in the world is there no fragrant grass! Yue Xin left, there are thousands and thousands of girls!"
"Master is still the most transparent!" ===== CHAPTER 1031 =====
