65 I wish you were an ordinary person
◎You are you, Mr. Lu, never be an ordinary person◎
Song Qiu couldn't beat Lu Yancheng in serious matters, but when it came to talking nonsense, ten Lu Yanchengs couldn't beat him.
With just these words, Lu Yancheng fell completely silent.
No matter how good at speaking, people cannot face such an unexpected situation. Regardless of whether Song Qiu wanted to attack or not, the fact that he said this was probably the final blow. If he didn't shut up, he might say something even more fatal.
He didn't talk or flirt, and Song Qiu felt that the whole world was quiet. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief and immerse himself in the experience of taking the subway with rich people.
As expected, the two of them had no seats and stood at the end of a row of chairs. Song Qiu was originally walking in front, wanting to squeeze over and find a relatively quiet position, but his bodyguard was so capable that he did it before him.
Finally, he was leaning against the armrest, and Lu Yancheng was standing in front of him, facing him. He was surrounded by bodyguards who had squeezed in, surrounding them in the middle, and Lu Yancheng blocked him in the circle.
It was a completely subconscious stance. Even if someone's mind was still being shocked by Xiaomu's words "attack critically", his body had already taken the initiative to protect Xiaomu.
Several minutes had passed before Song Qiu realized the effect of this standing position. He looked up at him with complicated eyes, then pinched his lips silently, feeling like slapping himself in the face if he thought about it in the middle of the night.
I shouldn't have said that just now. It seemed like I was saying that this person was autistic.
He still subconsciously protects me like this, damn it...
Not completely bad, but not completely good enough. Song Qiu's attitude towards Lu Yancheng makes him feel uncomfortable, but if he analyzes carefully why this is the case, it is ultimately because Lu Yancheng and he are not from the same world.
He can be noisy and sharp-tongued, and can rely on the aura of the protagonist to act recklessly with Lu Yancheng, but how can he cross the class barrier?
As his idol, Lin Jin has already worked to the ceiling of ordinary people and can only be Lu Yancheng's special assistant. He will also face some situations that he cannot explain when facing the elders of the Lu family.
He is still a world away from his idol's status and position. If it weren't for his special circumstances and identity, Lu Yancheng would be a big shot he would never meet in his entire life. Even if he worked hard all his life, he would probably only be able to get a ticket to see Lu Yancheng.
He was thinking about all sorts of things all the way. When Lu Yancheng didn't say anything, he just kept thinking about it. When the station's broadcast sounded, he realized that a long time had passed. When he pulled Lu Yancheng out, he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if you were an ordinary person."
In fact, he quite likes to have someone accompany him like this. Who wants to be alone all his life?
So far, I have never felt disgusted or repulsed by Lu Yancheng. I am very happy to bring Lu Yancheng out to play today. If Lu Yancheng were an ordinary person, I would be able to spend such an ordinary day with him...
His depressed mood was too obvious, and coupled with what he just said, Lu Yancheng understood what it meant, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only hold his hand tightly.
During those few seconds when Lu Yancheng was thinking about how to convince Xiaomu, he hadn't thought of the right words yet, when he suddenly saw Xiaomu pinching his own mouth again.
"No, no, I can't think like that. I can't expect others to accommodate me when they are down and out. Even if it is possible, I should work hard to climb up on my own."
Song Qiu was talking entirely to himself, and was terrified to death by the realization that his own thoughts were selfish and dangerous, and he tried desperately to correct them.
"If you want to buy something, you have to work hard to earn money to buy it. You can't get it by unfair means. It's wrong to expect it to break down and then be bought back at a lower price. I can work hard, and only hard work will produce results."
"Don't waste your energy, don't be too self-deprecating, I've made it this far since the beginning of Tianbeng, I'm awesome!"
His voice was extremely soft, and he was always speaking to himself. Unless someone got close enough in the noisy subway station, they would not be able to hear him as clearly as he did. But unfortunately, Lu Yancheng noticed his pinching lips and really came over to listen.
I even felt a little amused and confused after listening to the whole thing, because it was the first time I met someone who advised himself and convinced himself first when he found out that his thoughts were dangerous.
No wonder Xiaomu always says not to waste time on internal affairs. Although his methods are a bit funny, his character and values are indeed impeccable.
And...if you look at it this way, Xiao Mutou doesn't dislike me, he just doesn't like my identity.
Lu Yancheng clearly heard the words "try hard to climb up" and firmly believed that it was Xiao Mu who was willing to climb up for him.
Remind yourself not to pull him down, not to wish him to be in misery, but to climb up yourself. If this is not love, then what is love?
Lu Yancheng compared the dark thoughts that had gone through his mind if he couldn't catch up, and he felt more relieved when he saw Song Qiu's look.
He has a very positive outlook on life, worthy of being called Little Wood.
"What are you laughing at?" After Song Qiu finished admonishing himself, he looked up and saw the overly obvious smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked confused.
"Nothing." Lu Yancheng smiled and shook his head, "I just think taking the subway is an interesting way of transportation."
"You find life interesting because you come here to experience it." Song Qiu rolled his eyes speechlessly. "In fact, ordinary people don't like this kind of life. If they can ride in a luxury car with a driver like you, who would want to take the subway? It's crowded and you can't get on the train when you go out."
"When I was renting a house, every morning when I went to work during the morning rush hour, the people in the subway squeezed me into a flat surface..."
He talked about a lot of troubles he encountered while working on the subway, and finally shook his head at Lu Yancheng very seriously, "It's better for you to never experience it. You are you, Mr. Lu, and never be an ordinary person."
Don't go bankrupt, don't be destitute, and don't...end up as a villain.
He didn't say the latter part, but he knew that Lu Yancheng was so smart that he must understand what he meant. This matter was basically a tacit understanding between the two of them.
Lu Yancheng is the villain and he is the protagonist. They tried so hard to break the plot. If the two of them had more interactions together in the end, it would not be a disruption, but a compliance.
They could hang out together like they did today, and Lu Yancheng could accompany him to experience the life of an ordinary person, but it wouldn't last long, and it would probably only happen once in a lifetime.
In addition to the class differences that cannot be crossed, there is also Lu Yancheng's fate separating them. No one can afford the consequences of following the plot.
"Of course I won't be an ordinary person, baby. I can be Mr. Lu not only because I have a background that others can't reach or a status, but my abilities are my own. Even without this status, I can be the same as Lin Jin."
At the entrance of the busy subway station, Lu Yancheng walked to the side and stopped, looking back at the little guy who was pulling him, "But I won't step down from this so-called high place for anyone. Although it's too realistic to say this, I don't want to lie to you about this matter."
"If I were asked to give up everything I have now, disregard the responsibilities that the Lu family has given me, and become an ordinary person with you, I can't do it, and it's impossible for me to choose that."
"I have my responsibilities, the Lu family, Lu Yang, and my sister. Only with me around can they live as they please. I can't leave willfully, but...besides responsibility, you are above everything else."
It was a confession and also a promise. Anyway, Lu Yancheng knew that he had to make all his thoughts clear today, otherwise he was afraid that Xiao Mu would start to have wild thoughts again.
"I am responsible for my parents, my brothers and sisters, and the Lu family now, and I will certainly be responsible for you in the future. If I give up all my responsibilities now, and I tell you that I will never give up on you and will always be with you, I guess you won't believe me."
"I don't think you would like someone who has no sense of responsibility. I don't just want to play around, nor do I like you because of the plot, nor do I want to deceive your feelings. I know what I'm doing and why I like you."
"You are lively and optimistic, fresh and energetic, hardworking and motivated, eloquent, smart and emotionally intelligent, able to get along well with anyone, impeccable character, and your values match mine... Of course, your appearance also meets my aesthetic standards, but your personality and ability far outweigh your appearance."
"I'm not examining you. I just feel that you are attractive to me in every way, but these are the only things I can think of right now."
Lu Yancheng said with a helpless tone at the end, "If you force me to give up everything to be with you, I can't like you if you are that kind of person, and I believe you are the same."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Song Qiu couldn't refute it. If Lu Yancheng really gave up everything for him, he would indeed be scared.
Can someone who can give up even responsibilities and family really be responsible for love for a lifetime?
Who can guarantee that he won’t be the next one to be abandoned?
Can something that even character cannot guarantee be guaranteed by illusory love?
Lu Yancheng was right, he was very realistic, and their values were very compatible, both of them were firm realists.
He forced Lu Yancheng to come down from his high place and give up everything, regardless of his clan and family members, because Lu Yancheng would not like him.
Lu Yancheng gave up everything for him and couldn't even maintain his basic character. He would not be willing to get along with such a person, let alone give him his trust.
Idealistic romance is vulnerable in the face of reality, and love is not superior to family affection and responsibility.
"You really..." After an unknown amount of silence, Song Qiu sighed in defeat under Lu Yancheng's gaze, "You're really good at talking."
He was convinced and had completely believed in Lu Yancheng's love. It was not the kind of love that was just expressed verbally or in an ideal romantic way, but the kind of love that wanted to face life and reality with him and put himself in his shoes to consider the future of both of them.
"So..." Lu Yancheng didn't say anything else, nor did he ask any further questions. He just gave the beginning. He knew that Song Qiu would understand what he meant and what answer he wanted.
But what greeted him was a confused shake of the head.
"I have never experienced this before, and my mind is in a mess. I can't give an answer now, and I haven't thought about how to deal with this kind of thing."
Rarely, Song Qiu did not avoid him, but expressed his true thoughts.
"I have to be responsible for myself, and also... for you."
He saw and believed Lu Yancheng's sincerity and love, but did he have the ability to face what happened next? Was he sure that he would not let Lu Yancheng go to the original ending after trying?
He was not sure and could not give any promise or answer.
"Okay." Lu Yancheng accepted his explanation straightforwardly.
He didn't escape and was willing to express his thoughts. He didn't just give casual promises and answers to get by. He was not sure and he even wanted to be responsible for him. This was enough to be a surprise.
Especially the last sentence, you have to be responsible for him.
This is no different from implicitly admitting affection and love. If he didn't want to be responsible for him and didn't care about his life or death, he believed that Xiaomu would have agreed to try to be with him without hesitation.
Something began to spread between the two of them. Neither of them mentioned it. They just continued to walk forward holding hands, heading to the video game arcade that Song Qiu mentioned. But they both knew in their hearts that that thing was called... ambiguity.
It is no longer an ambiguous relationship of one person liking and pursuing the other, but an ambiguous relationship with a response and mutual tacit consent.
