Chapter 16: People from Another World
Probably not... Anyway, the clothes are actually normal, the black stockings were her own idea, and I didn’t call myself my girlfriend because others misunderstood me... The only problem is the sexy panties, no one can see them, it’s just a little bit of bad taste...
"Well... girlfriend means... similar to Taoist partner, yes, Taoist partner." Chu Ge eloquently said, "You know the meaning of Taoist partner is not that narrow, right? It means people who share the same path as each other, and it can be male or female. You see, close, like-minded, and even closer than friends, doesn't it fit the relationship between you and me?"
Qiu Wuji said expressionlessly: "What do you mean by a good match?"
Chu Ge said cautiously: "Of course, Taoist couples can go to a narrower meaning, that's what they mean."
Qiu Wuji: “…”
Chu Ge: “…”
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, Qiu Wuji asked, "Why don't you refute it?"
Feeling that her tone was quite calm, Chu Ge was confused for a moment and continued, "Because I think we are Taoist companions. As for the narrow meaning, it is others' guess. Why should I deny the broad meaning? Besides, it's useless to deny it. We bought clothes and underwear together. Do you think anyone would believe anything else?"
In fact, Qiu Wuji already knew that this guy was talking nonsense. According to this explanation, a girlfriend is actually a lover.
Somehow, I didn't feel angry. Maybe it was because I knew this would easily lead to misunderstanding, so I was prepared. Or maybe it was because I knew Chu Ge was only good at talking, and it was boring to argue with him. I didn't want to beat him up, so what else could I do?
Or maybe it’s because the word “girlfriend” isn’t as direct and harsh as “lover”, it sounds like a friend and is easy to accept…
At this moment, a very strange thought popped up in her mind: This world is really strange, everything is done so blatantly, but the words used are conservative, it is obviously meant to be lovers, but they insist on saying friends.
Is this what is called... being both a role and a role?
She didn't try to compete with Chu Ge after all, and whispered, "Have I taken the first step towards integrating into the world?"
Chu Ge sighed: "Well, at least now when I walk out the door I won't be looked at like a monkey."
Qiu Wuji asked: "What's the second step? Obtaining an identity?"
"Well... this is a bit troublesome. I may need to ask some friends... In the meantime, you can watch the drama first and learn more about modern information. If I were to talk about them one by one, I really wouldn't know where to start. You can watch it first and ask me if you don't understand. This will be more targeted."
"Okay." Qiu Wuji sat down on the sofa and picked up the remote control.
Yesterday, she watched Chu Ge operate, and actually she had been secretly watching, and had secretly taken note. This time, she operated it in a similar way, and under Chu Ge's astonished eyes, she successfully clicked on a drama whose cover heroine was dressed very similarly to her current appearance, and sat there quietly to watch it.
Chu Ge glanced at it and recognized that this was a popular drama in the past two years, telling the life, career, marriage and love of several thirty-year-old women... I have heard of it but never watched it. I used to be envious of the heroines, but now I feel that they are not as good-looking as Qiu Wuji and are boring.
At the beginning of the episode, Qiu Wuji asked: "Shanghai is the name of a city? What is our place called?"
Chu Ge was silent for a moment: "We don't allow real place names to appear here, so we call it Nanjiang City."
"…What is a subway? Do we have one here?"
"It's a means of transportation. I'll take you for a ride some other day."
“What is Pac-Man?”
"A game, I'll download it for you to play later."
Less than a minute into the episode, there were already so many questions. Chu Ge seemed to have known this was going to happen, and Qiu Wuji finally understood why Chu Ge had told him to introduce them one by one, and he didn't know where to start.
Because I don't understand almost everything.
The information gap in the world is far from being fully understood by just eating a bowl of noodles or buying a few pieces of clothes next to him.
Even the actions of the heroine in the play are incomprehensible. Why is she hanging on the roof with a piece of cloth tied to her body and spinning around? This is not how you commit suicide. Is she practicing martial arts? Isn't she too full to practice martial arts like this?
"What's a husband? Husband?"
"right."
"Then why do they seem not to be sleeping together? The heroine has returned from running, but the man is still sleeping."
"…It is said that it is more scientific for couples to sleep in separate beds, although it is not often implemented."
"That's weird. What is that fruit? It looks delicious."
"Strawberry. That's strawberry shortcake."
“Why is there no next sentence?”
"I'll take you out for a meal some other day?" Chu Ge smiled and said, "I'm overdrawn today. I'm waiting for the royalties next month. They'll be here soon."
Qiu Wuji turned his head and looked at him, knowing that this kind of food was probably several times more expensive than the soy milk and steamed buns that Chu Ge ate every day.
She suddenly lost the mood to continue asking, because even in the same world, different people actually live in different worlds, which she deeply understands.
Suddenly she realized why Chugo wrote such a story.
The quality of life of the heroine in the play may be beyond the reach of Chu Ge, and perhaps the same goes for the actress. Look at her beauty, it's not something that ordinary people can possess.
He couldn't get it, so he was unwilling to give in.
So he fantasizes, and so do all his readers - the story of an ordinary boy with a mediocre background and talent, who climbs up step by step with his own efforts. The flowers he picks along the way are his rewards.
I am the tallest one among them.
If you look at it from this angle, the feeling of vulgarity is much lighter.
Although I still can't be willing to do it.
Dao companion? It's useless to talk about it, you have to walk that path first... Now everyone is truly from different worlds.
"Why don't you ask?" Chu Ge was surprised.
Qiu Wuji smiled and said, "Take your time. There are too many questions at once and I can't remember them all. I'll just take a quick look first. I can roughly guess some of the connections. I'll ask you if I can't guess. You probably have other things to do. If I remember correctly, do you have another chapter to update?"
"Um……"
"Just be yourself, there is still a long way to go."
Chu Ge wondered why this girl became so considerate after putting on modern clothes? Her previous attitude of wanting to beat someone up had changed by almost 360 degrees... Could it be that what he said was so effective?
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Qiu Wuji smiled slightly: "It's just life. It's life wherever you are. Why get so nervous? I'm sorry for my previous behavior and made Father God laugh."
It seems that he has completely adapted to it. He is really brave. Chu Ge walked back to the house, looking back every few steps. He turned around and looked at Qiu Wuji, who was sitting on the sofa watching a drama in an OL suit. He felt extremely strange.
It's becoming more and more like that.
A feeling of home.
Just as he was thinking this, Chu Ge suddenly felt dizzy.
Qiu Wuji, who was sitting there, began to fade slowly.
His heart skipped a beat and he hurried back. As expected, Qiu Wuji stood up, his figure gradually vanished into thin air, and he smiled: "It seems that your patch won't let me stay for too long... I can't rely on this. I have to go back and continue to temper my soul, and strive to stay longer next time..."
Chu Ge: “…”
How long have I been looking at the short skirt and black stockings? Can you at least let me see enough?
Qiu Wuji's voice began to become distant: "For me, that place is also very important... I also want to try. Now that the plot is known, can the Poisonous Hand Demon Lord still plot against me? That's between you and me, isn't it?"
The voice echoed, but the person was gone.
All her clothes were still on the sofa, not even a piece of them could be taken away.
Chu Ge, however, did not regret not seeing whether she had exposed herself when she disappeared. He stared blankly at the empty room and the clothes on the sofa, speechless for a long while.
I just thought of a home, and it was gone in an instant, like a joke.
It was a blatant reminder to Chu Ge that this was not a modern OL lady, but a real person from another world.
