Jiang Li truly hadn't expected the Metaphysics Association to move so quickly.
This made her feel...
Choosing to become an unofficial member of this metaphysical association is not a bad thing.
If everything could be done this efficiently, that would be great.
Jiang Li stared blankly at her phone, her thoughts wandering.
She didn't even hear Lu Shiyan calling her for dinner.
"Jiang Jiang!" After placing the food on the table, Lu Shiyan waved his hand in front of Jiang Li's face. "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in something."
Jiang Li snapped out of her daze and suddenly smiled mischievously, "Thinking about other men, huh?"
That's absolutely right.
The protagonist of her thoughts is also a man, which makes sense.
"Oh," Lu Shiyan replied indifferently. "Am I as good-looking as you? Can I be your power bank?"
As long as no one can surpass him in these two aspects, his position will never change and will remain very stable.
Jiang Li's lips twitched involuntarily. "Ayan, I'm telling you... can't you be a little more dignified? Do you think it's something to be proud of to maintain your status by relying on your looks?"
"Of course, who doesn't like good-looking people?" Lu Shiyan answered matter-of-factly. "Besides, not everyone can have this power bank function. While others are still at the starting line, I'm already at the finish line. Isn't that something to be proud of?"
Jiang Li: "..."
You're good-looking, so whatever you say is right.
Jiang Li thought about it carefully with her limited knowledge. If other men and women encountered this problem, the man would probably have already started arguing with the woman for this reason, right?
What's wrong with her family...?
Is it really that different?
Instead of feeling ashamed, they take pride in it?
Jiang Li didn't quite understand.
but……
She seemed to enjoy this way of spending time together.
There aren't many messy things, and conflicts don't arise over trivial matters.
This is mainly thanks to the fact that a certain man is older and more mature, and he is very accommodating to her.
Similarly, she is much older than the average young girl, so she considers things more comprehensively and doesn't have many minor emotional outbursts.
This kind of relationship...
There wasn't much passion, but they supported each other through thick and thin, like a gentle stream flowing through the ages.
"Forget about those other men outside." Lu Shiyan pulled Jiang Li to sit at the table. "Is the food in front of you not good enough to attract your attention? How can you even think about other things?"
“It was Mr. Gu from the Metaphysics Association who came to see me.” Jiang Li smiled and mentioned the matter to Lu Shiyan. “He invited me to join the Metaphysics Association. We chatted about it for a while this afternoon.”
“I’ve heard of the Metaphysics Association. Before I met you, I always thought it was a fraudulent organization. But now that I think about it… they must actually have some ability.” Lu Shiyan honestly stated his thoughts.
At once……
He apologized to them in his heart for his previous prejudice.
Jiang Li: "..."
People who believe in science generally have this idea.
After all, if you haven't seen it, you can pretend it doesn't exist.
Only those who have truly witnessed it will truly be convinced.
"I don't know exactly how capable they are, but I've agreed to be an unofficial member. As for joining, that's another story," Jiang Li explained her thoughts.
“Jiang Jiang should just do what she wants and not force herself because of what others think.” Lu Shiyan understood Jiang Li’s thoughts. “If she joins, she will be constrained and will not be free most of the time. If she is just an advisor or something, it’s okay. At least she won’t be controlled by others.”
“That’s right, that’s exactly what I think.” Jiang Li gave Lu Shiyan a big smile. “I’m so happy that someone agrees with my thoughts.”
"No matter what you do, no matter how incomprehensible others may be, I will support you," Lu Shiyan said seriously. "After all, we have the confidence to do what we want to do."
These words made Jiang Li blush inexplicably, and her ears felt hot.
She unconsciously shifted her gaze and changed the subject, saying, "I'm hungry, let's stop talking and eat first."
Jiang Li enjoyed her meal very much.
Jiang Li was about to clear the dishes when Lu Shiyan shooed her away to play.
"Leave this to me, you don't need to lift a finger."
"But I can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor forever, can I? I have to do something, right?" Jiang Li couldn't help but pout.
Lu Shiyan winked at Jiang Li and slowly said, "You just need to give me a little bit of your heart every day, and one day, your heart will be all mine."
Jiang Li: "!!!"
That jerk is flirting with her again!
But why do I feel so sweet inside?
“Ahem…” Jiang Li coughed. “Since you want to work, I can’t stop you, can I? You do your work properly, I’m going to the study.”
She needs to practice her calligraphy for a while and calm herself down.
After all, practicing calligraphy is the best way to cultivate one's character.
Hmm, I'll write a calming mantra.
Lu Shiyan cleaned up the kitchen and then went to the study.
Seeing Jiang Li practicing calligraphy, Lu Shiyan leaned against the doorway, quietly admiring her earnest expression.
For a moment, I was completely engrossed in watching it.
Jiang Li glanced up casually and happened to see Lu Shiyan standing at the door like a guardian deity.
She was startled.
"How did you stand there so quietly?"
"I was just afraid of disturbing your calligraphy practice," Lu Shiyan chuckled, then took two steps forward. "What are you writing so intently? Let me take a look..."
Jiang Li didn't hide anything, "Take a look for yourself, I don't know if you can understand it."
Lu Shiyan walked over and looked at the characters, which didn't resemble Chinese characters much, but each character seemed like a calming mantra. He fell silent for a moment.
He really couldn't understand it.
Lu Shiyan's expression made Jiang Li chuckle. "Don't you understand?"
Lu Shiyan looked at her with a deep gaze, "Isn't it obvious?"
If he could understand it, he wouldn't be so confused.
However, the corners of his lips curled up again, "Although I don't know how, I have a thirst for knowledge, so... Jiang Jiang, why don't you teach me?"
"This might be a bit difficult to learn. Are you really sure you want to learn it?" Jiang Li asked Lu Shiyan uncertainly.
If Ayan wanted to learn, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
I'm just afraid he won't be able to keep going.
Some of her fellow students did quite well, but others, despite studying for a long time, still couldn't understand those characters.
I have a slight understanding of it, but reading the whole thing is basically impossible.
“Yes.” Lu Shiyan was not afraid of difficulties. “I want to learn more about your world, Jiang Jiang. Even if it’s difficult, I will study it seriously.”
after all……
Mr. Lu felt that he used to be a top student and learned things very quickly.
Even things that seem difficult to others, he learns with ease.
Therefore, he felt that learning this shouldn't be too difficult.
then……
Lu Shiyan, this genius student...
He suffered his first major defeat in his life.
And it was a rather tragic one at that.
Looking at the distorted, incomprehensible characters in front of him again, Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Li with a sense of existential doubt, "Jiang Jiang, how did you learn this? Why... can't I make out the characters? Is there some kind of trick to it?"
Jiang Li hadn't expected Lu Shiyan to be so dense. She sighed and said, "I think you might just be naturally incapable of this kind of thing, which is why you can't seem to learn it no matter what. Perhaps..."
Jiang Li paused for a moment, then made a final decision, "Although it's not good to advise someone to give up, I think you, Ayan, should face reality."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
