Chapter 316 Analysis

After seeing off the runaway boy, Su Yun drove all the way to the forest in the suburbs.

Zha Lan's house always seemed so "lively". Before Su Yun's car even reached the iron gate outside, several dogs of different sizes had already run towards the car.

"Hey, your owner is not here!" Su Yun quickly drove the car through the iron gate, found a spot next to the lawn and parked the car. Then he opened the window a little and waved to the dogs.

She originally wanted to drive the dog away so that she could get out of the car, but unexpectedly, a dog that was probably mixed with golden retriever blood suddenly came over with a grin, and clung to the car window very enthusiastically, breathing heavily, looking at her with his black eyes and grinning, as if he didn't treat her as an outsider.

Maybe there was some familiar smell in the car, so this lively dog ​​didn't have any guard at all.

Fortunately, there was only this silly dog ​​who thought everyone was a good person. The rest of the dogs dispersed immediately after seeing that it was not their owner and went for a stroll. Zha Lan had high requirements for people's appearance, but she accepted all dogs. There were nearly twenty dogs in the whole villa, all of which were adopted stray dogs. They had all the picky points such as mixed hair, defects, and ugly appearance.

Seeing that the mixed-breed golden retriever was lying stupidly at her feet and refused to leave, Su Yun had no choice but to greet it and lead the silly dog ​​into the villa gate.

After finding out Zha Lan's current location from the cleaner, Su Yun took the stupid dog he had snatched from Zha Lan and walked towards the collection room with an attitude of calling for an explanation.

"You're back so soon?" Zha Lan was sorting collections in the collection room without even raising her eyes.

"How can you not hurry up? Your 'test questions' are fake." Su Yun pulled a chair over and sat down, petting the dog while saying unhappily, "You are simply taking advantage of me."

"How could that be? In my heart, you are much more important than that fool who came to Paris to hang out." Zha Lan wiped the photo frame in her hand and raised her eyes slightly to look at Su Yun. "If you really want to say 'use', it should be that I am using him to teach you."

"Who is that kid named Jim?" Su Yun ignored Zha Lan's words and asked another question.

"Have you read my "Zorro"? " Zha Lan asked back.

Su Yun nodded: "How could I not have seen it? Your "Zorro" was one of the first batch of foreign films to be introduced to the mainland, and they even hired dubbing artists to re-translate and dub it. They had high hopes for it."

"That kid is the son of the villain I want to kill in Zorro, so his father and I are somewhat acquainted with each other," Zha Lan explained. "Of course, this kind of friendship is definitely not as deep as the one with you."

"Then you still..." Before Su Yun could finish her reprimand, Zha Lan interrupted her again, "Stop, listen to me."

"In my opinion, you were a child who ran away from home." Zha Lan sighed, "Although I really hope that you can go in the direction I want to see - but the facts prove that you can't become another me at all."

"Because you still have a certain bottom line in your heart, you can't be as carefree as me."

"Or rather, I can't be as conscienceless as you." Su Yun replied bluntly.

"You can say whatever you want. Anyway, you were in a state of confusion that all young people must experience, and you desperately needed someone to guide you out of it." Zha Lan put down the small ornaments in her hand and looked at her with her blue eyes that seemed to be swirling. "If I wanted to, I could turn you into a spiritless me."

"But I didn't choose to do this in the end, because you are very unique in my eyes. I hope you can become me, but I hope you can surpass me even more."

"Surpass you?" Su Yun repeated.

"Yes, surpassing me." Zha Lan nodded. "People cannot choose their birth, but they can choose their future path. On the surface, you have become a rich girl, but in reality, you are still the poor little girl who struggled all the way up from the bottom."

"Why do you think so?" Su Yun raised his eyebrows and pinched his fingers secretly. After touching the hairy head, he thought of the truth that the guy in front of him was most likely not fighting alone, and then he suppressed his fist.

The opponent's home advantage with more than a dozen dogs was too strong, and the situation forced them to bow their heads...

Zha Lan looked at Su Yun with amusement, as she was a little angry but finally suppressed her anger. After thinking for a while, she figured out the reason behind Su Yun's behavior and laughed: "Isn't it obvious? You just like to pick targets that are easy for you to grasp, and subconsciously stay away from those that are hard for you to grasp."

"Hey, it's good enough if everyone knows it in their hearts. There's no need to say it so bluntly, right?" A person should have dignity and a tree should have skin. Su Yun was a little upset when Zha Lan pointed out her nature of picking on the weak and fearing the strong in just a few words.

"You've always been so contradictory - you want to control everything, but you don't want to be invincible. Sometimes you even want to be controlled, but when you're controlled you still want to resist..." Zha Lan commented slowly, "You must have challenged too high a difficulty and failed, so you subconsciously wanted to regain your former self-confidence from the easy difficulty..."

"Unfortunately, the way people get along with each other is not like your work, where you can get results just by working hard." Zha Lan paused, "Besides, the results of hard work can also be big or small, good or bad."

"That's why I chose Jim, this stupid boy who came to my door, as your test 'target'."

"First, to prevent you from getting hurt, and second, to restore your confidence. Besides, there is a resonance between people of the same age that I cannot penetrate now." Zha Lan sighed again with an elder's attitude, "What you need is not to learn the methods and means of flirting, but to change your inherent cognition."

“In this world, when doing anything, you must put yourself first.”

"You don't need to pay attention to what others say or look at you. As long as they can't hurt you, why bother yourself with it?" Zha Lan looked down at me. "You just say you don't care, but in your heart you care more than anyone else and are afraid of disappointing others."

"I've said similar things to other people before." Recalling that when Chen Baiyang signed a long-term "indenture" to help her, she dragged him into the room and scolded him, saying that his behavior could easily lead to moral kidnapping...

But in fact, she was just saying nice things, she had already made a note of it invisibly in her heart.

Selfless sacrifice, years of secret love, and the complex emotions of being in a room with a familiar person in a foreign country... ultimately created an instant heart-pounding moment.

And, impulse.

"There won't be any impulse without reason." Zha Lan said meaningfully, "Given your nature, you must like people like Danny Chen, Bern Anderson, and Jim, who seem a little difficult but are extremely easy to conquer once their defenses are broken. You have no resistance to this type of people."

"Not necessarily. I also like Zhuang Long... and you and Alain Delon." Su Yun spread her hands in a very single manner. "I am actually quite omnivorous. I don't just accept one kind of taste."

"But without the necessary prerequisites, you will definitely not choose the latter." Zha Lan will not be led astray by her nonsense, "Otherwise, you would not be here."

Su Yun sighed helplessly, and just when she was about to say that he really knew how to read people's hearts, Zha Lan added something that made her speechless: "I have known you for so many years. If you really had the courage, you wouldn't have edited my best clip!"

"I worked so hard to give my best acting skills and looks, and you just cut it like that..." Zha Lan gritted her teeth and took out a videotape of "Leon: The Professional" and threw it in front of Su Yun, "I finally bought the version I wanted from Japan - but it only has Japanese dubbing!"

Su Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing: In the future, it would be a simple matter of searching the Internet for information, downloading software, and replacing the audio track, but in this day and age, whatever you buy is what you get, and you just have to swallow it.

"You're still laughing! With my looks, you don't even show any sign of being attracted to me! And you even dare to tell me that you like my style!" Zha Lan almost threw the videotape in her hand at her.

"It's because of your character that I'm not bewitched by your appearance!" Su Yun explained quickly.

"My personality?" Zha Lan laughed angrily, "I tell you - even if I do all the bad things and am terrible, because of my face, I have been obsessed with people all my life. There are few men in the world who have received more love than me!"

"So, since there are too many people who love you and you can't choose, you can only choose animals?" The two were used to bickering with each other, and Su Yun blurted out without paying attention.

The next second after saying this, Su Yun quickly covered her mouth.

Seeing Su Yun's eyes that were a mixture of surprise and regret, Zha Lan lowered her eyelashes slightly and said in a deep voice: "You are right."

"I'm sorry..." Su Yun lowered her head.

"I'm fine." Zha Lan waved her hands, gently smoothed out the wrinkles on the videotape cover that she accidentally scratched, and then put it back in place, "I had everything, but I never learned to cherish it."

"But you tried to make up for it," Su Yun said aloud.

"This is not 'make up', it's just 'I want to do this'." Zha Lan turned her gaze back, "From the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about me and Romy, and they were not optimistic about me either."

Compared to the popular version among many people, the version told by the person involved himself seems to carry a more lamentable sense of helplessness.

So many people thought that he had abandoned "Princess Sissi", but it was difficult for a rich lady and a poor boy to have a good relationship, and Romy's parents always looked down on him...

When he was young, he could still tolerate it out of love, but with a nature as proud and bad as his, he could only hold on for a while at best.

After all, both of them are beautiful and ambitious. If they couldn't be together when they were in love, they could only drift apart in the end.

The difference is that after the two separated, Romy still believed that there was love in the world, but he was playing around in life and never gave his true heart again.

Su Yun listened quietly, but she didn't feel sad like in a normal plot - because while talking, the guy suddenly grabbed a large gem ornament on the cabinet next to him, which looked like the logo of his company: "I don't need love now..."

"Money is still the most practical."
