[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

Li Youxue originally listened to Xu Mo's words, but did not intend to respond. Instead, she stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the stairs, pretending to wait and see: "Look, there are many people there, who don't know what they are doing?"

Xu Mo turned his head to look at her side face, smiled casually, and then said slowly, "It's the butterfly viewing exhibition."

"Butterfly?" Li Youxue couldn't help but look at him unexpectedly.

"Want to see it?" Xu Mo asked her with a smile as he watched her reaction intently. "Girls like pretty things, right?"

"On the contrary," Li Youxue shook her head after pondering for a while. "The life of a butterfly is short and hard, from larva to chrysalis and then into a butterfly. Although it is the most perfect posture in the end, it can't live for a few weeks... I don't like them."

Xu Mo was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked her: "Do you know the story about Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?"

"You mean, Zhuangzi's "Qiwulun"?" Li Youxue felt that she understood what he meant, so she guessed and answered.

"That's right." Xu Mo nodded slightly, explaining to her in a warm voice. "Zhuang Zhou turned into a butterfly in his dream, but when he woke up, he found that he was still Zhuang Zhou... He was confused. He didn't know whether he turned into a butterfly in his dream or the butterfly turned into Zhuang Zhou in his dream. Zhuangzi's view of materialization holds that , life and death are nothing but the transformation of the body, all things will eventually merge into one, and there is no absolute birth and destruction.”

"I know you are trying to comfort me, thank you." Li Youxue understood his thoughts and smiled at him. "However, I don't like short-lived things. For example, the jellyfish just now, or the butterfly now."

"Then, will you try to keep the ephemeral things and let them stay by your side forever?" Xu Mo stared at her and smiled, a light flashed in his brown eyes. "If the ephemeral can become eternal, wouldn't you like it a little more?"

Li Youxue thought for a while, and the golden and dry ginkgo leaf sealed in the cowhide diary flashed inexplicably before her eyes.

“I used to bookmark the most perfect leaf I could find,” she laughs automatically as she recalls her memory of picking it up from the music room window. "So I guess I can understand people who taxidermize butterflies."

"It's different." Xu Mo was still smiling, his brows and eyes were curved, but his tone was very calm. "Ginkgo leaves don't have their own thoughts, but butterflies do. Maybe, it doesn't agree to be imprisoned, it wants to be free and wants to leave."

"Then have you asked about it?" Li Youxue thought he was a little funny and couldn't help squinting at him. "In my opinion, as long as there is no explicit rejection, it is agreed."

"Really?" Xu Mo's smile gradually deepened, and he stared at her without blinking. "Is that what you think?"

[Xu Mo's favorability +43! 】

Li Youxue couldn't figure out what he was thinking, she frowned subconsciously, but she let it go after a while, she really didn't want to affect her mood: "Compared to these... why don't you go for a walk outside, this building is too stuffy. "

"Okay." Xu Mo stopped the previous topic graciously, and asked her gently, "I just happen to know that there is a good place nearby, do you want to sit down together?"

Li Youxue only hesitated for a minute, then nodded and followed his footsteps.

The distance they walked was not too far, in fact it could be called very close—go north along Xinguang Department Store, cross Financial Street, and enter the campus of Lianyu University.Go straight along the main road in the school, and you will go straight to the back mountain of the school.

The sun was about to set, and the orange-red rays of the setting sun spread all over the place, and even the wooden benches under the trees were stained with a deep red color.

Li Youxue and Xu Mo sat down on the bench side by side, enjoying this rare peace and quiet.

After a short period of silence, Li Youxue noticed that Xu Mo was still holding the cup of wasabi milk tea that she played a prank on, and Li Youxue had a rare conscience. She opened the box in her hand, and used a bamboo stick to fork a piece of matcha milk tea. To Xu Mo: "Try it, it should be able to cover up the taste of mustard."

As if he didn't expect her to do this at all, Xu Mo turned his face to the side and raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"What's your expression?" Li Youxue laughed. "I know that adding mustard to the milk tea just now is a bit too much idea, but it shouldn't matter if you only drink a little, and you don't seem to be the person who will get angry because of this."

Xu Mo suddenly laughed: "You're right, I'm not angry, but I should be happy—you're joking with me, which shows that you really think of me as 'Xu Mo', not 'Professor Xu'."

"So," he said with the corners of his mouth curled up, raised his hand to gently take the bamboo stick, and took a bite of the milk square. "Thank you, it's delicious."

"It's good to eat." Li Youxue nodded slightly satisfied, and put the box in the space between the two of them. "Then, let's finish it together, as for—" She reached for the cup in Xu Mo's hand and shook it towards him. "The product of this joke, let it return to ashes. If you drink too much mustard, you may have a stomachache. Don't disturb my conscience."

After saying this, she didn't hesitate anymore, and as soon as she raised her hand, she threw the cup and the liquid inside into the trash can next to it.

Turning around after finishing all this, she happened to meet Xu Mo's gentle gaze, and she couldn't help tilting her head in confusion.

"It's a pity." Xu Mo smiled, whispered, and winked at her. "That was the first time I drank mustard milk tea, let alone you gave it to me."

"If you like it, you can drink it in the future." Li Youxue twitched the corners of her mouth as she really didn't understand what this man was thinking when he was flirting with a girl.

Can't tell when, the sky has gradually darkened, the dense branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun, and the surroundings are gradually dimmed.

"It's almost time." Xu Mo raised his wrist and looked at his watch, making a conclusion. "If you're lucky, you should be able to see it."

Li Youxue glanced around blankly, and asked Xu Mo suspiciously, "What?"

"Shh..." Xu Mo raised an index finger to her lips, and then smiled mysteriously. "Wait a minute," he whispered.

Li Youxue hesitated for a moment, but nodded obediently and quietly.

Xu Mo took a few steps forward and clapped his hands.

In an instant, the shadow of the wind and the shadow of the tree swayed together, and suddenly, from the bushes in the lower place, there were dots of light diffused.

The faint green light surrounded the two of them, flying up and down, bringing fireflies all over the sky.

Even though she had already made mental preparations, Li Youxue's heart couldn't help but struggled a few times when she saw this scene clearly - it was as if there was a lively deer jumping around unbecomingly.

"Do you like it?" Xu Mo smiled softly, leaned over to her, and asked softly.

"...Well, they are very beautiful." Li Youxue pursed her lips hesitantly, but answered honestly in a low voice.

"Then I hope that the next gift will make you like it more." Xu Mo said in her ear.

Li Youxue realized what he meant and suddenly looked up at him.

Xu Mo took out a small glass bottle from nowhere.Then, he took out a light stick, and after simply lighting it up, he used a light yellow light stick to light up the glass bottle in front of Li Youxue's eyes.

Li Youxue stared at the cuteness and exquisiteness behind the transparent glass wall, and suddenly opened her eyes wide.

It was a small gray-blue butterfly, with tiny black spots dotted on the gray-blue wings, and a circle of light brown on the outer edge of the hind wings—with the warm fluorescent light, it looked Has a gentle beauty.

"I was supposed to take you to see that exhibition, but I didn't expect you not to like butterflies." Xu Mo stared at her, his eyes burning like brown-red gemstones in the light brought by the fluorescent sticks and the surrounding fireflies. "You are always like this, bringing me many surprises... If real scientific research is always carried out according to the assumed orbit, then you must be an asteroid that has escaped from my orbit."

Li Youxue listened carefully and did not interrupt him for the first time.

"I'm not the rigorous and rigid scientist you imagined," Xu Mo said, taking two steps closer to her, bringing his face closer. "I used to think that what I liked was the feeling that life went on according to the plan, but only when I met you did I know that the feeling of accident is the source of vitality in my life-it comes from you, it is You brought it to me."

"Everything today is just my gratitude to you in such a colorful life." Xu Mo said with a smile, and took two steps back politely, leaving space for her. "I also hope that I can add luster to your life."

"...Thank you." Li Youxue thought for a long time before remembering how she could answer without touching anything. She took the glass bottle with a slight smile and held it in her hand. "This is beautiful, a beautiful color indeed."

"Wushe Yan Xiaohuidie," Xu Mo rolled his eyes, looking in a good mood. "It seems that you like it very much... Then, its mission has been completed."

Li Youxue turned her face sideways to listen to his soft voice, her emotions had returned to her original calmness.

——There is no further change in the favorability value... It seems that Xu Mo's heart is also peaceful?

"Two people's playfulness." Li Youxue frowned and defined it.

[...Your hostility towards Xu Mo is still quite strong. ] The system sighed a little. [I thought that if you could finish listening to that long paragraph, it meant that you accepted it implicitly. 】

"There is no girl who doesn't like sweet talk, and I like to listen to it too." Li Youxue replied expressionlessly.

……

[Xu Heitu: Good night, may you have a good dream, and I will be in your dream. ]

Li Youxue finished reading silently, closed the SMS interface calmly, pulled the quilt back, and closed her eyes peacefully.

Strangely, Xu Mo actually appeared in her dream.

"Did you know?" Xu Mo stood in front of her, wearing his standard black shirt and white coat, looking at her with a smile. "Only a person who truly loves Butterfly will want to trap her, imprison her, and keep her forever. Because of this, she will belong to him forever."

……

Li Youxue opened her eyes, stroked her black hair that was messy due to sleep, and muttered, "Xu Mo, who lingers...why do I have him in my dreams? It's annoying."

After the appointment is finished, everyone can watch it again.
