Chapter 459: Retreat to Advance
I didn't expect him to say such words so calmly, which made Su Yun's brain freeze for a moment.
"You're welcome. I have a lot of new people around me recently and I'm too busy." After taking a deep breath, Su Yun responded almost with gritted teeth.
Zha Lan once again glanced in the direction of the four young men, then looked at Bo Ji standing next to Su Yun, and finally looked at Romy who was still swimming in the pool, and began to change the subject: "Are you... filming a new movie on the other side?"
"Yes, are you interested in making a guest appearance?" Su Yun immediately climbed up the pole.
"Don't even think about it!" Su Yun had told him about this movie that focuses on female superheroes. If he agreed, he would undoubtedly have to make a cameo appearance as "Batman"!
In order to present the best look of Batman during the filming, he resisted all kinds of desires for eating, drinking and playing in the water for a long time, and worked hard to make his skin and body look like a white-skinned rich young man!
Now that he is finally free, is it possible that he will fall into this pit again?
Seeing Zha Lan's expression of reluctance to look back, and then looking at his skin that was obviously sunburned, Su Yun advised him with regret: "For this guest appearance, you can only appear in the hero costume..."
Zha Lan responded with another three consecutive rejections.
"How about this, how about we make a bet?" Seeing that normal ways of building relationships didn't work, Su Yun immediately began to use the tried and true method of provoking him.
"Oh, how to bet?" Zha Lan raised her eyes.
After discussing it in a low voice, Su Yun went back to Zhuang Long and the other three with an attitude of walking into a trap.
The four of them were still feeling awkward when they suddenly saw Su Yun coming over to them, which was out of character for them. They were a little confused for a moment, so they all sat down obediently.
"Actually, this kind of accident is bound to happen..." Su Yun sat down and sighed sadly, "I just didn't expect it to happen so soon."
The four of them looked at each other, and finally the oldest one, Zhuang Long, spoke up: "We didn't expect that either."
Although everyone vaguely knew that there were "rivals in love" somewhere else, the atmosphere created by Su Yun was so good that they were reluctant to "think too much" - of course, why Su Yun was like this, they themselves were also aware of the little tricks they used in private.
Calculate each other, seduce each other, and achieve each other.
It's just the greed and infatuation in people's hearts that drives it.
Everyone is smart, so Su Yun naturally doesn't need to say too much or too clearly. She simply recalled the past and expressed her regret, saying that she couldn't resist temptation and was too greedy, which led to their inability to get a normal home as expected...
"This is our own choice. We don't blame you." The four of them expressed their opinions and tried to persuade him.
Even though he might know in his heart that Su Yun was the villain who made the first complaint, when there were other people around, no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, he still had to appear magnanimous and gentle on the surface!
Su Yun almost couldn't hold back her laughter as she secretly glanced at these four people in tears, all of them acting as if they were the queen. Fortunately, her acting skills were indeed blessed by both reality and the system's small black room, so she managed to get away with it with a touching crying mode with tears in between laughter.
"No matter what, in the final analysis, it's all because of me." Su Yun wiped away her tears and then continued to express her hope that they would think about it seriously again.
"Now, I will be fully committed to my career for a very long time, and I really can't give you any guarantees." Su Yun looked at the four people very seriously, "So, for your own good, I don't want to continue like this..."
"Please think about it carefully. The crew and I will be here today. I will patiently wait for your reply..."
Watching Su Yun's silent back as she left, for some reason, the four of them immediately felt a strange feeling in their hearts.
Meeting unexpectedly in such an unexpected situation, and Su Yun speaking such sincere words with emotion and reason, if you ask yourself, at some moment, they really might have had the thought of withdrawing from the situation and helping others...
After all, they all had fantasized when they were young that when they truly had the ability, they would build a warm and cozy family with their own hands.
It's a pity that the person who likes warmth and tranquility and only wants to see a small world for himself and his lover happens to meet the person who has all kinds of capital and energy and wants and can make a living in this world and become a legend...
There are examples of such tragic contrasts in the past: for example, Zha Lan, who always hurts Su Yun, and his passionate youth romance with Romy were the result of love breaking through class and world views at a certain moment.
And the ending?
One is trying his best to expand outward by any means necessary, while the other is immersing himself in the tranquility and happiness of his country cottage.
Such a gap will inevitably lead to the end of this temporary misaligned intersection, and then the two sides will start their journey in opposite directions again.
Fortunately, the two people at that time had gradually matured, and there was time in the future to turn the former explosion into a distant memory. At least the two people who loved each other so much at that time did not end up becoming complete strangers.
During this period, they seemed to be in the "passionate love" stage. They could only see the good in each other and subconsciously ignored everything else that would affect the relationship. In other words, love brain makes people less intelligent...
And, the most frequently mentioned phrase in Su Yun's mouth: love double standards.
Thinking along the lines of this example, the four people in deep thought seemed to have begun to understand more or less the subconscious ostrich mentality of Su Yun after she "could not resist the temptation": after all, they had witnessed the ups and downs of a passionate relationship at such a close distance, and now they seemed to have met several lovers who were in this "double-standard love" stage. If they put themselves in their shoes, they could understand such entanglements and distress.
Of course, they would never think or admit that they have the potential to inherit Zha Lan's personality and tactics, so if you think about it more deeply, their respective "double standards of love" can at least last for a very long time, or even a lifetime.
However, their respective "double standards of love" are also waiting for the arrival of a desired ending: people's ideas can never be static. If one day Su Yun suddenly wants to settle down, will she be inclined to choose the person who stays with her patiently, or the person who takes a step back under various banners or reasons and waits for her to chase after him?
Having known Su Yun for so many years, who wouldn’t know her character of “loving leisure and hating work, liking new things and forgetting the old”? !
Therefore, even if he knew that there were several other people who were at a similar level as him, he had to swallow his anger and try to please them. Otherwise, Su Yun, who was easily fascinated by the new, would definitely take the opportunity to kick out the lagging people secretly...
When they thought of this, the four of them couldn't help but recall the "truth" that Su Yun had said before.
I don't want to continue like this for your own good - think about it, think about it again...
At first glance, it seems that it is really for their sake that the idea is put forward that everyone is still young and should focus on their careers; but combined with other aspects, if you look at it from another angle, this probably, seems, may, or seems to be a little bit like the style of some scumbag who eats and runs away?
I decided to break up with you for your own good...
Such statements not only elevate oneself but also belittle the other party, turning oneself, the party at fault, into a victim. The party can then turn around and occupy a non-existent moral high ground to accuse the other party.
Besides, I don’t want to continue like this now - what about the future?
When they thought about how they were almost fooled by Su Yun into quitting, the four of them were all scared: after all, who Su Yun would choose in the end was probably still a very distant unknown, but if they just quit on their own initiative, wouldn't all the hard-earned results be wasted?
Besides, if they could really let go of that little bastard Su Yun right now, why would the four of them be together, so unexpectedly and yet not unexpectedly?!
With a telescope, he looked at the four young men sitting at the leisure table in the corner. They all had complicated and fearful expressions on their faces. Romy, who was swimming, fiddled with the water a few times and came to Su Yun's side: "It seems that they have noticed something."
"If there is anyone who doesn't notice, that's a 'good thing'." Su Yun took the telescope and took a look, then replied with a smile, "I thought that as long as the number of men exceeded one, they would automatically share the brain of the one with the lowest IQ..."
Romette was immediately amused and burst out laughing: "Is there such a saying?"
"Of course, this is what I have learned from years of observation and research." Su Yun, who is very familiar with this kind of pig brain overload, said with a righteous look on her face, "In addition, they will be like parallel circuits. The more they are connected, the lower their IQ..."
After all, these are the summaries of her memories of what she witnessed at various gatherings of all sizes every year.
Now, even she herself doesn't know which one she prefers more.
Therefore, she had no choice but to try to "transfer" the initiative to the other party.
Unexpectedly, the passion of love and the desire to win made these men, whose IQs had plummeted when they got together in the past, start to display the spirit of sailing against the current at this critical moment, and they managed to piece together 70% to 80% of her real intentions.
Fortunately, because of this miraculous phenomenon, she was able to successfully survive the crisis of this unexpected gathering, and she didn't have to endure the heartache and make any choices in advance.
Thinking of this, Su Yun's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally let go.
Once people start to relax, their appetite will surely be liberated as well. Su Yun lazily clung to the air cushion in the swimming pool, and then leisurely began to choose the drinks and snacks on it.
"Girls, which ones do you think are more delicious?" Seeing that quite a few parts had already been taken away, Su Yun immediately called out to the others.
Hearing Su Yun's question, the others swam over and began to recommend their favorite styles to Su Yun.
Over here, Su Yun was enjoying the attention and feeding, feeling very comfortable. Over there, the four people who had just figured out the clues, just raised their eyes and immediately saw Su Yun's situation again.
Surrounded by beauties in the pool, he was so engrossed in eating, drinking and having fun that he didn't even bother to glance in their direction!
It's like someone who forgets the old and loves the new!
In an instant, the anger that they had just suppressed in order to discuss countermeasures rationally began to show signs of resurfacing.
Even if they lose in the future, they shouldn't lose to those new warriors who have just arrived over there!
Su Yun was enjoying the feeding when someone suddenly pulled the binoculars hanging around her neck away. She almost gave this unsolicited guy a color see unconsciously...
"What are you doing?" Su Yun adjusted the strap around her neck and asked unhappily.
"I really underestimated you..." Zha Lan looked at the current situation of the four people through the telescope. When he took off the telescope, there was a look of surprise on his face.
"Of course not. This is the true meaning of 'retreat to advance'." Su Yun took the telescope handed to him and blinked at him again.
From what she said, it seemed that she was hinting that their "goodbye" was a mess. Zha Lan then casually called two swimsuit beauties over to surround her: "You have to understand that a temporary victory is not long-lasting. Sometimes we just need to give in a little to better achieve our goals..."
She never thought that the French, whose country's quick surrender had become a funny meme, would dare to whine in front of her, a Chinese who had always won over. Su Yun turned over on the water, then lightly kicked a few times under the water, and quickly returned to his position in the crowd.
Seeing Su Yun doing this, a group of famous beauties led by Romy and Brooke immediately gathered around to show their concern. Zha Lan was silent for a few seconds, and finally looked at Su Yun's smug smile and silently raised her thumbs up.
