Hearing Oloy's words, Eggers was stunned.
Although the other party's voice was not loud, and his tone was almost casual, as if he was just talking to himself, Eggers felt it very strongly: Oloy was serious.
He treated the matter very seriously, even though he had never said frankly "I like him" in front of her, but the words and deeds of the Fourth Prince had shown that he was definitely not playing around, so even if there were more convenient means, he was unwilling to try, because what he wanted was not a momentary infatuation, but a long-lasting love between two people who loved each other.
This made Eggers surprised, but also a little confused and bewildered.
Perhaps influenced by the divination results of the royal family about Orloy's future partner, Eggers had never been optimistic about Orloy and Ke Jin from the beginning. In his opinion, Orloy was just tempted for a moment, and he was stubbornly staying on the Azure Star and refusing to go home, which was just a childish willfulness. After all, the other party always wanted to get whatever he wanted, and it was rare that he hit a soft nail with Ke Jin. He would definitely not be willing to give up before he succeeded, so he stayed here out of spite.
But...is it really just a matter of unwillingness and anger?
I have never encountered any setbacks. No matter what I want, I can easily get it as soon as I think about it. Doesn’t such a smooth life also mean that when I encounter things and people that I really want to cherish and treat well, I have no idea what to do.
And precisely because we attach importance to it, we will be cautious; because we are cautious, we will be at a loss; because we are at a loss, we will let go of our former pride and reserve and bow our heads to ask ourselves for help, isn't it?
But all he could think about was how to leave this damn place as quickly as possible. As for matchmaking, he thought that the two of them would break up sooner or later anyway, so no matter what, as long as they could be together temporarily, it would be fine - at this moment, Eggers felt ashamed of his careless and perfunctory thoughts.
Really.
It is indeed just as my father once said when he scolded me: Your nonchalant attitude is not only irresponsible to yourself, but also a disappointment to those who have expectations of you!
This can't go on any longer.
At least in this matter, I really should think carefully about it——
What should I do to really help my cousin who is just beginning to fall in love...
***
Although Oloy angrily ordered Eggers not to interfere in his and Ke Jin's affairs, Eggers, who felt he was in the wrong, became more involved and active than before.
Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that: regardless of whether Oloy's true love was Ke Jin or not, this was after all the first time that his arrogant cousin had clearly expressed his affection for someone else. Let's not talk about whether the two of them could have a future together, this matter alone should be taken seriously - all along, everyone thought that Oloy couldn't find a partner, 99% of the time it was because he was too arrogant and narcissistic, with his eyes high and his eyes high, and looked down on everyone. Let's not talk about whether he liked others or not, even if others liked him, they would be scared away by his bad temper after getting along for a while.
But Ke Jin didn't run away.
Not only did he not run away, but they also lived peacefully for half a year, and he completely subdued his arrogant cousin. If Oloy's family knew about this, they would probably be shocked and would definitely go to great lengths to get him to the Imperial Palace in the Empire Star System - in the future, if Oloy gets angry again, they won't have to worry about him throwing power cards and knocking down a group of people! There will also be a lot of money left for repairing the palace. It's hard to find such a god even if you look for a lantern! He must be allowed to follow Oloy back to the Imperial Star System! !
Eggleston suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.
Unfortunately, although he was full of enthusiasm, he had no experience in love. He thought hard for several days but could not come up with any ideas. He even spent his meals in a daze thinking about this matter.
"Mr. Egg?" Ke Jin called out several times before he saw the young man raise his head slowly. "Mr. Egg, is today's meal not to your taste?"
"Eh?" Eggers came back to his senses slowly, and waved his hands quickly after waking up, "Ah! No, no, Mr. Ke Jin, the food you cooked is delicious and suits my taste very well."
"You don't have to be so polite." Ke Jin smiled helplessly, "You can tell me what you like or dislike to eat. It's also a pleasure for me to prepare different dishes according to your tastes. You don't have to force yourself to do that."
Ke Jin was not as busy as before these days. He came back on time every day. Naturally, he prepared dinner again, and he enjoyed it. However, in Eggers' eyes, Ke Jin was so busy during the day and had to work hard to cook at night. Not only did he not complain, but he also cared so meticulously about these diners who ate and drank for free. This spirit was simply touching.
What a gentle and kind person! Eggs thought with emotion. Not to mention Oloy, if it were me, I would also think that it would be a very beautiful and happy thing to spend my life with such a person!
"Mr. Ke Jin." Eggers was touched and couldn't help but blurt out, "What are your criteria for choosing a partner? What kind of person would you like?"
Qi stopped picking up the food, Bai Fan raised his head, and Ouloi spat out the rice in his mouth.
"Huh?" Ke Jin was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had heard it wrongly, "Why, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Ignoring the fierce look Orloy was giving him, Eggs looked at Ke Jin seriously: "Well, I'm just curious, hahaha... and this is one of the common topics of conversation at the dinner table in my hometown. The food will become more delicious when we talk while eating!"
The corners of Ke Jin's eyes twitched slightly.
Is there a planet where this kind of dinner table culture is popular? The topics of conversation in the boys' dormitory at night are often related to love, but talking about this at the dinner table... always feels weird.
"Xiao Jin, just tell me." Qi said with a smile, "I'm also very curious."
Bai Fan didn't say anything, which meant that he agreed with Qi's words.
Eggers glanced at Oloy secretly. The boy finally stopped glaring at him and stared at Ke Jin instead. Although the other party had no expression on his face, for Eggers who knew him, this meant that the Fourth Prince was very nervous.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Ke Jin didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so he could only bite the bullet and say it.
"Well, let me think about it..."
No one touched the food anymore. Under everyone's gaze, Ke Jin, who had been thinking for a long time, finally spoke slowly.
"First of all, I like gentle people. If the other person is gentle, considerate and understanding, I like him even more."
Snap!
Eggers seemed to see a light that illuminated Oloy's love path shattered into slag, and the future suddenly became much bleaker.
Gentle and considerate? Considerate? Does my cousin who is as angry as the devil in the world know how to write these two words? ?
Haha, this question is beyond the syllabus, I passed.
"What else?" Eggers forced himself to cheer up and continued to ask.
"Well... I hope the other person is a kind person, pure-minded and loving."
Snap!
Another lamp broke, and the road ahead became even darker.
This is not a good direction.
"What else?" Eggers calmed himself down and continued to ask without giving up.
"You need to have self-control over your emotions and not lose your temper for no reason," Ke Jin said. "This is very important to ensure that both parties can get along for a long time."
Click, click!
The lights shattered in a row, and Eggers felt that his heart was about to break - someone's love life was dark ahead, and he didn't even dare to look at Oloy's expression.
"Are you, are you able to..." Eggers asked breathlessly.
Ke Jin shook his head: "I can't think of any for now, these three points are what I think are the most important at the moment."
"Then..." Eggers racked his brains to think about whether his cousin had other advantages that could turn the tables. "What about appearance? If the other person is extremely good-looking, can you lower your standards a little bit?"
"I think it's enough to have an average appearance." Ke Jin said honestly, "It doesn't matter if it's a little worse. After all, I pay more attention to the inner qualities, and the outer appearance is not important."
Snap! !
The lamp that shone so brightly was also broken.
Eggers was almost suffocating. He took a few deep breaths, slammed the table with all his might, and stared into Ke Jin's eyes.
"What about family background?" Eggers revealed his last trump card, and spoke every word with great force. "If the other party has a distinguished family background, noble birth, and a status so high that he can stand at the top of the entire galaxy, as long as you are with him, you can also stand at the top of power and wealth, enjoy glory and wealth, and become an existence that everyone envies - would such a person make you very excited?"
Ke Jin looked at Eggers in confusion: "Why would I be attracted to her because of this? I like her as a person, not her family background. These are two completely different things."
"No, no, no, this is one thing." Eggers tried his best and struggled desperately, "Just imagine, if someone threw a huge mountain of gold in front of you, wouldn't you be tempted?"
Ke Jin thought about it for a moment and was really... a little moved.
but--
"I don't want to be a gigolo." Ke Jin straightened his expression and said very seriously, "I may be a bit chauvinistic in this regard, but if two people are together, I would rather I bear the responsibility of supporting the family instead of using her or her family's money. Of course, I am just an ordinary person and my income will be very limited. If the other party is in good conditions, following me will definitely reduce her quality of life, so..."
Ke Jin paused slightly, then said firmly.
"So, if the family backgrounds of the two people are really that different, I would not consider having a deep relationship with them from the beginning."
Crack, crack, crack! ! Snap, snap, snap! ! !
All the lights were broken.
The road ahead was completely plunged into pitch-black darkness.
In this desolate darkness, Eggers let out a terrified roar in his heart.
——It’s over!! This is totally hopeless!!!
***
Eggers finished the rest of his dinner in a daze, helped Ke Jin clean up the kitchen in a daze, and then sat in the corner in a daze.
He finally understood why Oloy had never confessed his feelings to Ke Jin. Perhaps it was not because he was too cautious and did not dare to speak rashly, but because he had long discovered that he was not Ke Jin's ideal type at all. If he opened his mouth before meeting the other party's standards, the result would be an instant breakup!
It was not until it was almost time to go to bed that Eggers came back to his senses with difficulty.
He wanted to go back to his room directly, but then he thought that this incident was actually a bigger blow to Oloy. Based on the mentality of "a cousin should be considerate and caring to his sad cousin", he quickly found Oloy who was playing games alone in the room, and patted his shoulder with great sorrow.
"Cousin, don't be too depressed." Eggers tried to make his voice more optimistic. "The criteria for choosing a spouse can change. I believe that one day, Ke Jin will be able to change his mind."
Oloy gave him a strange look: "What are you talking about?"
The other party's reaction was beyond Eggers' expectations. He was stunned for a while before muttering.
"You, you have listened to Ke Jin's criteria for choosing a spouse. Don't you have any ideas?"
"Well, I do have some ideas." Oloy nodded, "My decision to conceal my identity was indeed the right one. It seems I need to continue hiding it."
Eggers opened his mouth slightly. "Except, except for this? Don't you think the other standards are... a little difficult to deal with?"
"No." Oloy's expression was very calm, and he even had a little suppressed joy. "If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I actually met his standards for a partner so well. It's like I was tailor-made for me."
Eggers: “………………”
Eggers: "I'm sorry, I might be hallucinating. Can you say it again?"
Although he was a little unhappy with Eggs' commanding tone, Oloy was in a good mood now, so he repeated it patiently.
"I think I'm the one he's looking for." Oloy said confidently, "Gentle, kind, loving, and self-controlled, am I not that kind of person?" He paused slightly, his cheeks flushed with excitement, although he was a little shy, he couldn't help but express his excitement, and said softly.
"No matter how you look at it, he and I are made for each other."
“…………………………”
Oh shit.
I was so worried just now, Eggers thought.
I don't care about you!!! You are a narcissistic egomaniac with no sense of B!!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
