Chapter 1379: NO.283:Speaking in private is always more straightforward

~10 min read 1,958 words

NO.283:Speaking in private is always more straightforward.

Silence.

Xintiaoqian couldn't refute these words.

She, who considered herself the one who understood Xiao She best and was the first to open Xiao She's heart, even suddenly felt a bit panicked, because she discovered that her 'authority over understanding Xiao She' had been shaken.

It was clearly the later Qiena, and this woman with dragon horns who had mysteriously appeared out of nowhere and oddly become familiar, yet she assumed such an adult attitude to lecture me!

What is the content of this lecture? Letting Xiao She be attacked by those women?!

Crazy!

Really crazy!

Although she had never been normal before, and although she had once revealed in her chats with Nanmengya and the others that she needed to make good preparations, and when the other party was extremely shocked and unable to accept, she put on a 'You're still too naive!' act, as if she had instantly become a formidable adult.

What do these two women mean now!?

This isn't what a formidable adult would do—is this even a human notion!?

Even in the feudal era of three wives and four concubines, they wouldn't so openly support a man adding new members, would they!?

Would they!?

No way!!

Not… would they, would they?

Never mind!

Anyway, this isn't the feudal era!!

Although this society still has many feudal-era remnants, even slave and primitive societies' old-timers alive, plus all sorts of legal polygamy and polyandry, but if it's not right in front of us, we just pretend it doesn't exist!

These two women must have something wrong with their heads!

Or maybe their world is the problem!

They really are that open-minded, not caring if their boyfriend is taken away!

I can accept Xiao She having a few girlfriends, but supporting Xiao She in seeking a new girlfriend is another matter, right!?

This is absolutely strange! How did things become like this!?

"We have never been able to lessen his burden, never able to relieve his worries, but instead kept adding social conflicts that he worries about, becoming the last few straws that break his back during his busiest work period."

While she remained silent, the usually taciturn Dekesasisi, as if opening a chatterbox, spoke up, causing her to stand up immediately.

"You think that way? So we're wrong for not letting other women lure him away!?"

"No……"

"Then why are you saying it!?"

"But this is the fact."

Qielinina understood her anger; usually no woman wants to share her other half, even if supposedly bisexual, the other side being someone she likes, and seeing those two being lovey-dovey would stir a bit of jealousy and displeasure.

Possessiveness always resides equally in everyone's heart; the difference lies only in different triggers and different restraining abilities.

But the essence of this matter is actually that we are burdens to each other; either you let go, or you try to correct the other's personality.

But Aomo's personality foundation determines his present state; its core is not refusing confessions, but not wanting to lose, and precisely because he doesn't want to lose, he is that cautious, precisely because he doesn't want to lose he demands that of himself, and thus achieves everything.

That extreme twisted obsession created such an excellent him, just as the temperament of a horse girl includes various willfulness and pride, letting trainers, even if they recognize this as an interpersonal flaw, still try to be tolerant.

Moreover, speaking of personality flaws, who doesn't have them?

Qielinina knew she often failed to be clingy, and in her relationship with Aomo she showed none of the sweet affection of a traditional woman; even with Qian as a role model before her, she couldn't learn a thing, and although Qian's willfulness often seemed over the top in her eyes, Aomo never said anything.

Everyone is being tolerant.

Without social masks, any personality has two sides: the ambitious are also envious, the easygoing are prone to laziness, the cautious easily become timid, the emotionally stable often appear cold due to strong dullness, and the more resolute someone is, the more stubborn they become; interpersonal relations are about mutual tolerance within appropriateness, not about forcing others into the shape we want.

Even the natural and proper educational relationship between parents and children can easily breed tragedy if twisted, let alone a relationship between equals of the same generation with no debts.

Admittedly, there are no lack of exceptions; rather, there are many cases of mutual love that let each other change, but everyone initially loved not the changed form, but the present form, right?

"Whether you want it or not, the fact is just like this, Xiao Qian." Ling sighed, indeed with a hint of habitual bitter advice.

"Nature resides in the heart; the heart's aspiration is the will, and the will cannot be shifted."

"Rather than scheming against each other, it's better to let everything fade; don't wait until eternity sometimes ends, for this hatred is endless and boundless, letting everything truly develop into the irreparable."

"……"

Qian lowered her head in silence, while Qielinina deadpanned: "But those horse girls today seem to be scheming against each other."

"Is this Ling's idea?"

"No, I haven't figured out why those girls are like this; maybe my advice was misunderstood." Ling, speechless, tilted her head and tapped her head lightly, "Unfortunately I didn't go to observe the scene, so I don't know how they manipulated it."

"But there's still Shihuaiya and Huoerhaiya." Qiena said.

"Huoerhaiya gave up today, Nanmengya's little sister and the others are really too persistent," Ling, somewhat speechless, raised her hand to conjure a wine gourd, took a sip, then said, "She said she'd go out for a stroll, but instead she looped half a circle to squat by Aomo; if she didn't make a move, huh, she's probably now squatting at the door, poking the window."

"But at this time, that tiger girl should also be about to reveal her feelings——"

Bang!

Just as the words fell, someone pushed the door open and rushed out; their speed made Qiena, who had been getting along day and night for a while, exclaim:

"Aomo would feel relieved seeing this."

"Relieved about what?" Ling, made to laugh and cry by her words, said, "Want a drink? This drink is just right for the moment; should I sit her there or move you a seat?"

"Drink, I'll come over right away." She came over to sit in the spot Ling had moved, took the cup Ling handed over, and Qielinina spoke softly.

"That spot should still be given to her when she comes back."

"Do you think she'll come back?"

"Besides being younger, she's not different from us; you know that too, right?"

"Mm, I heard her say herself that young people always have some temper, but even if you can't get over it, there's always someone who'll go along; cheers?" She passed over the gourd.

Qiena stayed silent, lifting her cup to lightly tap hers.

It's pretty rough, huh? Ling asked after taking a big sip.

"Feeling pretty rough, huh?" Ling asked after taking a big sip.

Yeah, but I've gotten used to it. Qiena said calmly.

"Yeah, but I'm used to it." Qiena said lightly.

Everyone's abnormal, yet nobody intends to change.

"Everyone's not normal, yet they don't plan to change."

You can't put it that way; everyone has their own nature, people's hearts are just like that—there's no point fussing over what's normal or abnormal. Besides, even Aomo has begun to see it, and Xiao Xi can't keep goofing around like this.

"You can't say that either; everyone has their own temperament, people's hearts are just like that—what's the point of worrying about normal vs. abnormal? Besides, even Aomo has started to realize, and Xiao Xi can't keep messing around like this."

Perhaps this is also part of her personality.

"Maybe this is also part of her personality."

Thinking back to the video's description and the past events Aomo and Tea had spoken of, Qelinenna once felt that Tea's past willful, reckless, and vengeful actions were rather… uh… mild, leaving the 'Last Texas' unable to understand.

"Recalling the description in that video, as well as some past events that Aomo and Xi themselves had spoken of, Qielenina once thought that Xiao Xi's past willful and reckless actions, and her revenge, were somewhat… uh… gentle, making 'the last Texas' not quite able to understand."

Now, thinking about it, she's just a child living in a peaceful environment—she's still a month shy of turning eighteen.

"But thinking about it now, after all, that was a child living in a peaceful environment, and she was still a month shy of turning eighteen."

Despite having undergone an extraordinary experience and being given an extraordinary status, she remains a child. Two months of peaceful life filled with intensive study and work on the Regret Universe easily caused her, who had once made a firm decision, to regress back to the person she first knew.

"Although she had gone through an extraordinary experience and been given an extraordinary status, she was still just a kid; a couple of months of peaceful life filled with intensive study and the experience of producing the Ancient Stand Special Universe easily made her, who had once made up her mind, revert back to the way she first was."

Moreover… she probably feels betrayed, too. Qelinenna mused.

"Moreover… she probably feels betrayed, huh." Qielenina pondered.

What do you mean? Ling asked, turning back in confusion.

"What do you mean?" Ling asked, turning back in confusion.

Partly, Qiena admitted, not denying what she had displayed, and besides, there's also the video project she's working on, titled Regret Universe.

"Partly," Qiena did not deny the fact she had shown, "Besides, there's also that video work she's busy with, called the Ancient Stand Special Universe."

She has poured a lot of heart into it, feeling it also serves as a memorial of her feelings for Aomo, and plans to release it soon.

"She has put a lot of effort into it, feeling that it also counts as a memorial of her feelings with Aomo, and plans to release it soon."

Isn't that connection a bit of a stretch?

"Such a connection…… isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

But that's how I see her; Aomo calls it the sensibility of a high school girl.

"But the way I observe her, that's just how she is; Aomo calls it the sensibility of a high school girl."

Is that really the case?

"Is that so?"

Life's path isn't like a puzzle, Ling, as he thinks back to the high school girls he met in his dreams.

"Life's trajectory doesn't have this kind of puzzle; Ling, thinking back on those high school girls he met in his dream."

That's how it is…

"That's how it is…"

Born a mobster, Qelinenna Texas also doesn't quite understand this kind of teenage affection.

"Born a gangster, Qielenina of Texas also doesn't really understand this kind of companion entity that comes with a maiden's heart."

Although it's clearly something I said myself, I'm not entirely sure.

"Clearly it's what I myself said, yet I'm not entirely sure either."

But Aomo also said she was never an ordinary high school girl, just like us—she's not normal.

"But Aomo also said, she's never been an ordinary high school girl, just like us, she's not normal either."

I think that wasn't Aomo's exact words.

"I think that wasn't Aomo's original words."

Well, the original words were 'they're all monsters.'

"Yeah, the original words were all monsters."

Hahaha, typical of him—it sounds even less appropriate now.

"Hahaha, truly him, though it sounds not as good as the present."
