Chapter 16 Be careful not to become a demon
Shen Yuanying saw Shen Yuemo coming back, and before she even sat down, she asked, "Is it done?"
Shen Yuemo asked doubtfully: "What is done?"
"Confession."
Shen Yuemo was shocked for a moment, and said with a red face: "Dad, how do you know that Xiao Zang and I are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
"When you stopped him from speaking, I saw it. You brought him back here on purpose. You wanted to show him your feelings by bringing him to see me. But you were too obvious. But you were right. It's not good to hide something like this."
Shen Yuanying said with a nostalgic look: "I was a teenager once too. I have deeply experienced the things and feelings you are going through now."
No one knows a daughter better than her father. From his daughter's actions at that moment, Shen Yuanying roughly analyzed what his daughter wanted to do and what she needed him as a father to do.
"Your method is correct, but the timing is a little off." Shen Yuanying said slowly, "You should have invited him to dinner. Although you are going back to the capital tomorrow, you can still spend some time with him today."
Shen Yuemo said awkwardly: "Too much is as bad as too little. If we scare him away, we will lose."
Shen Yuanying: "He won't run away even if you run away. He is much calmer than you think. As long as there is a reason for a meal, he will accept it."
Shen Yuemo believed in his father's judgment very much, so he complained: "Why didn't you remind me..."
Shen Yuanying smiled and said, "I have to let you know that the cabbage I have raised for twenty years has come to me on its own initiative. As a father, I also have a temper."
Shen Yuemo was speechless, and said faintly: "So, Dad, do you know that my confession failed?"
“It didn’t work, but it wasn’t a failure, right?”
Shen Yuemo: “…”
Wow, what a smart guy!
Shen Yuemo sighed and said, "Dad, so everything you said later was intentional?"
Shen Yuemo discovered that her father had seen through her little thoughts. Not only did her father not expose her, he also helped her. She was curious as to why.
Because under normal circumstances, most fathers wouldn't be so calm...
Shen Yuanying said slowly, "Love between men and women is human nature. You are already 20 years old. You are ready to fall in love. Sooner or later, you will meet someone you like. Your mother and I also met, got to know each other, and fell in love when we were your age. Your mother and I have long been mentally prepared for the fact that you will suddenly fall in love one day."
Shen Yuemo blushed and said, "I just started college, don't you care about my love life?"
Shen Yuanying had a calm face, drinking tea slowly, and said softly: "Girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. Now that you have grown up, your mother and I, as parents, are afraid that if we discipline you too strictly, it will backfire. Besides, you have had your own opinions since you were young. Anyway, I can't discipline you. Only your mother can discipline you."
"Although I didn't expect that you would scheme against your own father just for the person you love..."
Shen Yuanying glanced at her, feeling that his little cotton jacket was leaking air, and sighed, "Since you are so cruel, I, as your father, can't hold you back, right? Although I really want to hold you back, in order to avoid you blaming me and getting angry with me, I think I'd better forget it."
“Cough cough cough…”
Shen Yuemo was instantly embarrassed and speechless.
She had started planning this on the way back from the police station. She had originally thought that her father would be furious when he saw Xiao Zangge, and then she would stand by and try to please him, with one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, and the whole play would go smoothly.
She had thought her father would look down on Li Zang. After all, the gap between their family backgrounds was quite large. Whether in reality or in soap operas, there would always be wealthy fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law who looked down on their sons-in-law who came from a poor family...
But now this result was somewhat beyond Shen Yuemo's expectations.
My father's reaction was truly unexpected...but the result was good, he got the job done calmly and without any anger.
There is always a mountain higher than the one you are on.
"By the way, it's okay to fall in love, but girls should always be a little reserved. I don't need to say much about this. Just remember to do it yourself."
Shen Yuanying was of course aware that what Shen Yuemo said about staying at a female classmate's house last night was most likely a lie, but even if it was a lie, the possibility of it really happening was very low.
Not to mention that the way these two people get along is very clear, it’s not to that extent. If it really happens, he probably won’t be able to see Shen Yuemo today…
After all, we are all experienced people, and we all know this clearly.
Therefore, although Shen Yuanying knew about this kind of thing, he would not say it out loud. He would just mention it briefly to avoid annoying others.
Shen Yuemo was shy, and her face turned red with embarrassment when she heard her father's words.
"Dad, do you support us?"
Shen Yuanying corrected him, "I support you, and I believe that the guy you like won't be too bad."
"Hey, Dad, you're so nice!"
Shen Yuemo rubbed his father's shoulders attentively, and then asked tentatively: "Dad, what is your impression of Brother Xiaozang?"
Shen Yuanying thought for a moment, then said, "The overall first impression is good. He is calm and composed, and has an indescribable temperament. He is quite interesting."
"That's so untrue. Why don't I see any temperament in Brother Zang?" Shen Yuemo said, and suddenly recalled the back of Li Zang holding her hand and walking in front of her, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Well, I can’t say there is none at all.
Shen Yuanying said slowly: "Temperament comes from a person's appearance, personality, psychological quality and experience. It has both innate and acquired factors. Temperament is a reflection of a person's cultivation, which will be reflected in his words and deeds. It is something that can be seen, so just pay attention and observe it."
"This kid from the Li family behaves in a decent and generous manner, neither humble nor overbearing. He doesn't talk much, but one can vaguely feel that he has an extraordinary vision and tolerance. It is rare for someone to have such a broad mind and a broad mind."
Shen Yuemo said blankly: "Is the evaluation so high?"
"I also think it's a bit outrageous. Logically speaking, this kind of demeanor shouldn't appear in someone of his age. It's as if there's an old man who has seen through the world living in his body. I even feel that I've benefited a lot from talking to him. It turns out that there's such a way to talk."
"I really didn't expect that the rascal from the old Li family, who used to get beaten up every day, could have such an extraordinary demeanor ten years later. No wonder our old lady always wanted to arrange a marriage between you and him."
"Dad, is it really that good?"
Shen Yuemo was happier to hear her father praising Li Zang than to hear herself being praised.
It’s a good thing to be recognized by family members.
Shen Yuemo smiled and said, “Then I will have to bring him home more often to see you and chat with you in the future.”
"Then forget it."
Shen Yuanying waved her hand and said, "You should bring him to see me less often in the future. It's not that I don't like him, it's just that chatting with him is a bit tiring. When I chat with him, it feels like I'm chatting with a respected elder. I always feel that if he is happy chatting, he will suddenly call me Yingzi."
Yingzi?
Shen Yuemo was amused by this bizarre statement: "Hahahaha, Dad, you are getting more and more outrageous. There is no such a weird thing."
Is it strange?
Yeah, it's a bit weird.
Shen Yuanying thought about how she had just chatted with Li Zang about all sorts of things. She had intended to lead the conversation towards the topic of recent current affairs, but she had not expected Li Zang to accept all the comments and his views and insights were very sharp. Thinking back on it now, she was still touched.
In particular, when the two of them talked deeply, Shen Yuanying was in a trance and recalled the feeling of facing his elders when he was young. It was really indescribable, inexplicable, but extremely profound and strange feeling.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanying smiled and said, "If you really like him, go after him. But I have to tell you, this guy is probably not easy to chase."
Shen Yuemo said confidently: "Dad, you have to have faith in your daughter. Our Shen family has excellent genes. I don't believe that she can't be enchanted."
"Heh, come on."
…
…
Li Zang did not go home directly, but drove to the small park, then took out his mobile phone and looked up what happened today regarding the dog demon.
First of all, it’s the circle of friends. Since his social circle is around here, his circle of friends is now full of topics about dog monsters.
Especially when a circle of friends was posted by a university counselor, it was filled with comments from university classmates, including many classmates who never spoke up, and they were all urged to speak up.
Student A: "The authorities haven't clarified it yet. There must be something wrong."
Student C: "My cousin lives nearby and took a lot of videos for me. If the authorities don't speak out now, I guess this is true."
Classmate Ding: "I don't know if there will be more monsters in the future. I feel like the world is changing! I'm panicking. Holy crap! I feel like my worldview is collapsing!"
Student B: "I hope it's true. If dogs can become spirits, then doesn't that mean we have a chance to become spirits too?"
Student A replied to Student B: "Old Yi, do you want to be a human spirit or a monkey spirit?"
Student B: “…”
Classmate Ding: "That's right, the earth has entered the era of spiritual energy recovery. I decided not to go to work, and everyone should also stop working. Let's all go and become spirits!!"
Li Zang also followed the trend and posted a comment to show his presence - "This dog may not be a spirit, but may be a demon. If you practice cultivation, be careful not to become a demon."
“…”
Li Zang immediately opened TikTok again...
The correlation between the two events, Chuunibyou Diary and the appearance of the dog demon, is not high, but it is enough to force a connection between them.
The first diary was a second-year student diary. Because it contained information about a dog demon, and the account that posted the diary was too weird and didn’t even have a report button, this abrupt and weird feeling made many netizens with rich imaginations associate the incident with the dog demon in Northeast China.
However, in the absence of substantial evidence, most of these comments were drowned out by rebuttals from other netizens.
"That dog was hit ten years ago but survived and is still alive today. Why was it exposed today and attacked the police station? This is a joke."
The netizens who stood on the rebuttal side only put forward this one point of view, and they defeated the group of analysts on the other side who had analyzed the truth without leaving a single trace.
Li Zang expressed his sympathy.
The truth is indeed always in the hands of a small number of people.
The reasoning and mutual attacks between the two parties caused this diary to become very popular, even returning to ninth place on the popularity list, and the popularity of the second diary also grew rapidly.
The number of followers of this magical Tik Tok account has skyrocketed, and before we knew it, it has nearly tens of thousands of active fans.
These are all real fans, none of them are zombie fans bought with money. On this point, Li Zang feels that he can trust the integrity of this great system!
This incident has become so big that it has attracted official attention and investigation. This is bound to happen.
However, there is no way. Since he has chosen the benefits of being exposed, he must also bear the corresponding troubles of being exposed. Li Zang is mentally prepared for this.
As more diaries are exposed in the future, it is only a matter of time before his identity is revealed, but before that, he must improve his strength as much as possible.
Now that the system’s Douyin account has a fan base, there will definitely be no problem with the following diary reaching the first step of the popularity level.
Well, maybe...
However, for now, everything is developing just as Li Zang expected...
The main plot is about middle school, and love is the secondary plot. The family drama must have fewer scenes, and I can tell this clearly. Therefore, Shen Yuanying's character can be pleasing, and he can take up less scenes because he doesn't like his daughter having a boyfriend.
