Kong Qi glanced at Gu Mingjing and suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did Brother Gu look so interested, as if he was just watching a show?
"Brother Gu, why are you so interested in my experience of taking the train?" Kong Qi asked suspiciously.
Gu Mingjing paused slightly with the snack in his hand, his expression normal. He asked with some confusion, "Weren't you the one who brought this up first? I just left it at that."
"Really?" Kong Qi was a little unconvinced.
Gu Mingjing nodded and said, "Yes, wasn't it you who brought up the topic in the beginning? I told you not to say it if you didn't want to, but you insisted on saying it." However, there was no need to mention the fact that he had fanned the flames.
Kong Qi scratched his head, recalled for a moment and said, "It seems so."
Although he was the one who started it, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Yeah, I'm not wrong." Gu Mingjing raised his eyebrows, "You must be too angry just now, so angry that you are a little dizzy, so your head is a little dazed."
"Now that you mention it, it seems a bit true." Kong Qi rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dazed.
Gu Mingjing picked up the enamel pot that had just been rejected and handed it to him again. "Come, drink some water and wake up. We can continue our conversation after you sober up."
Kong Qi did feel his head buzzing, so he didn't refuse.
The slightly cool water slid down his throat, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he did feel a lot more comfortable.
After hearing the second half of Gu Mingjing's words, he asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Didn't you just say that all kinds of accidents happen every time you take the train?" This time, Gu Mingjing learned from his previous lessons and did not get carried away at all. It seemed like it was just a casual reminder.
However, although it seemed that there was no problem, Kong Qi always felt something was strange in his heart, so he no longer had the desire to complain as he did at the beginning.
He simply concluded, "Oh, that's what you're talking about. It's nothing much, actually. Every time I take the train, there are always these little incidents. Like being scammed by a swindler pretending to be an elderly widower and losing all my money, encountering a shrewd woman and having to pay a small fee to avoid disaster, trying to break up a quarrel between a couple and getting hurt by mistake, helping to catch a thief and only having my luggage go missing... There are so many, I can't even remember them all."
"Oh, by the way, accidents are common on the road. I won't go into details later. I've encountered rainstorms twice and a mudslide once, but luckily, nothing serious happened."
Kong Qi's tone was calm, as if these things were trivial matters. Of course, the greater possibility was that he had become numb.
Gu Mingjing: "...You have quite a rich experience." Many people will never encounter this in their lifetime, but you experience it every now and then. It's really... hard to describe.
"It's quite rich. Because of this, I once became the king of the children in the family. My nephews and nieces like me the most. Every time I come home from a business trip, I am always given a warm welcome." Kong Qi said with a complicated expression.
Gu Mingjing was puzzled, "Why?" What does this have to do with the King of Children?
"Because they want to hear my adventure stories." Kong Qi looked vicissitudes of life.
"Pfft." Gu Mingjing burst out laughing, and when Kong Qi looked at him expressionlessly, he quickly apologized, "Sorry, I don't want to laugh unless I can't help it, hahahaha."
Kong Qi stared at him with dead fish eyes.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Gu Mingjing waved his hands repeatedly. Seeing his face, he wanted to laugh again.
Gu Mingjing was so embarrassed that he felt hurt inside. "I think your nephew and niece's summary is quite correct. Isn't it an adventure story? You can publish a book called "My Fantastic Adventures on the Train in Those Years"
"This book title is quite literary." Kong Qi said with a wry smile.
Gu Mingjing waved his hand and said as if they were just friends: "I learned this from my girlfriend. She chose a more elegant name. If you think it's a good name, feel free to use it. You're welcome."
Kong Qi: "..." When did I ever say thank you?
Kong Qi sarcastically said, "Brother Gu must have had good grades in Chinese when he was in school, right?" His comprehension ability was so worrying.
"Well, it's okay, just average. I'm the first in the class. Oh, yes, I'm the first in all subjects." Gu Mingjing said modestly.
Kong Qi was silent for a moment. For some reason, he felt under great pressure.
If Jianshu were here, he would tell him that this was the aura of a top student suppressing a poor student.
Kong Qi didn't dare to speak. He was trembling with fear. He was afraid that Gu Mingjing would ask him about his grades.
How should he answer then?
Honestly? It's so embarrassing. The gap between being at the bottom of the class for years and being the top student is too big.
Is this a fabrication? Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if it was exposed?
Don’t ask me, don’t ask me, don’t ask me. Kong Qi muttered silently in his heart, praying with all kinds of scientific and metaphysical methods.
At this moment, Kong Qi completely forgot his original intention and only wanted to reduce his presence, as if he had returned to the days when he was afraid of his parents asking about his grades.
I don’t know if it was God’s blessing, but his prayer really worked.
Gu Mingjing had no intention of pressing the issue by asking about his grades. Instead, he retraced the conversation, "Actually, it's not a bad thing that my nephews and nieces enjoy listening to your stories. You can gain experience now so that when you get married and have children, you can tell them about them. By then, no one will be able to take away your place in their hearts. You'll definitely be the one they love and admire the most."
"So, not only my nephews and nieces will know about all my bad luck, but my children will also know about it in the future?" Kong Qi didn't expect that this matter had not yet passed. His tone was calm but there was an unconcealable anger.
"No, no, no." Gu Mingjing shook his head. "Not only your children, but maybe even your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up listening to 'Those Years My Fantastic Adventures on the Train'."
There will be no end to your descendants.
When Kong Qi heard this, his eyes went dark. He seemed to see himself buried, and his great-grandson and great-great-grandson came to visit his grave and said: Great-grandfather/great-grandfather, I love you the most. Can you tell me a story?
I like this, but I don’t want it!
"I suddenly feel that being alone is not bad." Kong Qi said in a daze. So he should not get married.
He didn't want his bad past to be talked about by others even after he was gone.
"Ah, this..." Gu Mingjing didn't expect that Kong Qi didn't even want to get married because of this. Wouldn't this let such a good young man live out his life in loneliness? How could this be possible? Absolutely not!
Gu Mingjing's mind raced, and he came up with an idea instantly. "Then have you ever considered that even if you don't tell your children, your nephews and nieces won't tell their children either?"
!!!
Kong Qi widened his eyes and was frightened.
