Self-guided daily life after rebirth

Su Tong noticed this more clearly, and became more embarrassed. He pursed his lips, lowered his head and looked at his toes in a daze.

A bad idea just came to Gein's mind just for a moment... Since it was born, it has been entangled and lingering like tarsal maggots.

That is delusional.

He didn't want to have any physical delusions about the eldest lady, even if he thought about it, he felt that he had defiled the eldest lady - he regarded her as a goddess-like existence, the future he pursued in this life, and the bright and shining morning star in the distance .

When I was a child, I saw Saints, and the twelve golden saints surrounded their goddess Athena. At that time, I only saw the Pegasus Meteor Fist and the glittering golden holy clothes of the twelve constellations. I was so stupid and haha. Come to think of it, it was the goddess Athena who could support the saints to survive the battle.

But although Su Tong is the goddess Athena, he is not the twelve golden saints.

After all, he's just a mortal.

Su Tong was in a daze on one side, but the eldest lady on the other side became impatient, stretched out her tender feet and kicked his knees, raised her eyebrows and asked:

"What are you thinking, so fascinated?"

"No..." Su Tong replied subconsciously, "I just want...to think about today's banquet."

Alright, I've been perfunctory in my haste!

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, when my brain twitched and my mouth almost went bald, I said that I was greedy for your feet, but luckily I bit my mouth and swallowed it back.

Su Tong didn't find it embarrassing, but was aroused by his words:

"Okay, okay, you're quite savvy, and you actually know how to think about the banquet—so did you come up with something?"

"This one……"

Su talked to each other.

He couldn't think of anything, after all, it was just a nonsense excuse, and now the eldest lady asked about the details, he could only shake his head and say he didn't know - in fact, he could have made up something to fool the past.

But facing Su Tong, he didn't want to lie.

The eldest lady was slightly disappointed, but sighed again:

"Forget it, I shouldn't think that you can come up with anything, after all, you are... huh, you are just a fledgling kid."

Then she felt melancholy again for some reason, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"Su Tong, do you still remember what I told you before?"

"!"

Su Tong was stunned, the memory in his mind was tumbling, and then he blurted out:

"Miss, you said...you don't want me to be a greasy, disgusting old man, you let me remember...don't go gentle into that good night, old age should burn and roar at sunset."

The eldest lady asked him to remember, so he took it as a motto, a motto in life, and recited it every day, so he could recite it by heart.

Su Tong nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad, it seems that you are quite obedient, and you actually thought of what I told you to remember at the first time."

But her expression became serious again.

"But for the next words, you have to remember every word for me!"

Su Tong is awe-inspiring.

The eldest lady looked up, looked into his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Those successful people you saw at the banquet...you only saw their glamorous appearance. You must know that the primitive accumulation of capital has always been bloody and cruel. It is true that the world has never been black and white, and the vast majority Part of it is gray in the chaotic system..."

Her expression gradually became sad, and she sighed softly:

"If you want to become a master, you are destined to climb up, but whoever climbs up can guarantee that you will always be innocent, you must touch gray means, and you may even touch the dark side of this world ...I told you to stay true to your original aspirations, but who will have the final say in the future?"

Su Tong glanced at the boy who fell silent again, jumped off the bed suddenly, walked in front of him with bare feet, and looked up.

The girl stared into the boy's eyes and said seriously:

"I don't want you to promise me that you will not forget your original intention, Su Tong. When you really come into contact with those gray things in the future, you may be involuntary. I will forgive you as appropriate—but if..."

The eldest lady raised her hand and pointed it at Su Tong's left chest in the shape of a pistol:

"If you really become an unscrupulous, greasy, disgusting and sophisticated adult and master for some purpose..."

"I will show you the real evil."

she says.

Chapter 94 Illusion

==============================

Silent all night.

Su Tong told the embarrassing thing and went back to the room early, so naturally there will be no accidents.

It's just that after waking up the next day, he saw that Old Su's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, so Su Tong slipped away after washing up, and took the young lady's ride all the way back to school.

Su Tong and the eldest lady got out of the car early and asked the little maid to drive the car to the parking lot. The two walked back to the class in silence.

No one spoke.

Su Tong was thinking about the dinner and what the eldest lady told him yesterday, and it is normal for the eldest lady...it is normal for the eldest lady not to speak, not to mention that Su Tong did not take the initiative to talk to her, and she would not take the initiative to speak up if there was nothing wrong.

They tacitly maintained such a quiet atmosphere, and finally the eldest lady stepped into the class with the former Su Tong.

I haven't had class yet.

Su Tong honestly returned to his seat and greeted Cao Bin:

"Morning."

Cao Bin, who was still sleepy and almost fell headlong on the table, woke up instantly, turned his head to look at Su Tong, looked up and down, and nodded:

"Oh... you're back..."

But halfway through the speech, his tone suddenly became sharp:

"...Oh, that's not right! Fuck you, Su Tong, you came back so early!"

"Otherwise?" Su Tong sighed helplessly, "What do you mean? If I don't come back to class so early, it would be a waste of time. There are still four classes in the morning."

"???"

Cao Bin gasped:

"A beauty stays with you and stays out at night. If I think about it with my toes, I know there must be something tricky behind it, but you are a shameful bastard who only wants to go back to school-I said Su Tong, don't you really love learning so much? Have you learned to be stupid?"

Su Tong couldn't laugh or cry:

"What kind of beauty doesn't come home at night as a companion?"

"Don't think I don't know, yesterday morning you left the school with Miss Su Tong, but you didn't go back to the dormitory at night, and today you walked into the classroom at the same time as Miss Tong - the time of appearance is so synchronized, don't tell me I'm just a coincidence!"

"..."

Su Tong was speechless.

Cao Bin's observation ability and logical thinking can only be comparable to Sherlock Holmes in such strange times.

Seeing that Su Tong was silent, Cao Bin became confident and snorted coldly:

"Oh, I knew it! You're guilty, you're speechless! Tell me honestly where you spent the night yesterday!"

Su Tong felt slightly embarrassed, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he had nothing to hide from Cao Bin, so he simply replied:

"At Missy's house."

"Sure enough!" Cao Bin clicked his tongue, "I guessed that you must have spent the night at Missy's house..."

He rolled his eyes a few times, and with an ambiguous smile on his face, he moved closer, looked up to make sure that the lady in front of the classroom was not eavesdropping, and finally asked in a low voice:

"The relationship between you and Sister Tong...how far has it developed?"

"what?"

"Ah, what?" Cao Bin was dissatisfied, "I said you didn't understand even if you understand it so well—it's about things between lovers. I said Su Tong, you are not so innocent, you hold hands and kiss..."

He raised his eyebrows at Su Tong funny, implying:

"You know, what step has it been?"

"..."

Su Tong became more and more dumbfounded:

"What are you thinking, how could there be such a relationship between me and the eldest lady, holding hands and kissing..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Bin with a look of disdain:

"Fart! You've already spent the night at Sister Tong's house, isn't this much more serious than holding hands and kissing?"

"But we're not a couple."

Su Tong explained helplessly:

"The relationship between the two of us is more like good friends. It's too much to say that you are a couple... I'm not confident enough to think that I can be the boyfriend of the young lady..."

"Tsk."

The old god Cao Bin shrugged:

"That's not necessarily true - there has never been a pure friendship between a man and a woman, unless the man is a eunuch, you don't really think that the three major illusions of life are just for fun, right?"

She/he likes me.

This is one of the three major illusions in life.

Of course Su Tong understood what Jiyou was talking about.

Adolescent boys and girls are the most likely to have a vague affection for the opposite sex. Except for some special cases, they will generally have a fondness for girls who are close to them... It's just hard to say it, so it's called a crush.

Who didn't have a fondness for a certain boy or a certain girl in the class when they were students?

But it is only limited to good feelings.

Su Tong sighed, took down the English book from the book card, and explained casually:

"I probably have a crush on Missy, but what's the use of it? She's Missy and I'm a poor boy. I... at least I'm not good enough for her right now, so I remind myself not to think too much about it now."

"Coward."

Cao Bin scoffed:

"If you like Missy, go and confess, why think so much!"

"I don't think about so many things, but the young lady will. You don't really think that Su Tong is the kind of rich young lady who has nothing but a face in TV dramas?"

"..."

Cao Bin probably understood what Su Tong meant, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Of course Su Tong is not the brainless lady in the TV series, on the contrary, she is very smart, so smart that Cao Bin, who is often proud of her cleverness, is defeated by her every time.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, why does such a smart lady fall in love with Su Tong?

"It's important to have self-knowledge," Su Tong said softly, "I understand that it's hard for the eldest lady to like me, so I won't like her either. Useless emotional investment is just a waste of time and energy. Now I... I just want to study hard."

"……Fine."

Cao Bin scratched his head.

But he thought of something, and said casually:

“I’ve heard, just heard—there’s a concept in psychology called the sunk cost effect, which means that if you spend a lot of money on something…such as time, energy or money, it’s usually difficult to I am willing to abandon this thing, and it is also applicable to the relationship between men and women. So, can the investment made by sister Tong in you also be regarded as investing time, energy and money in you? And the corresponding..."

"Are you trying to say that she might like me because of the sunk cost effect?"

"It's not impossible."

Cao Bin spread his hands.

And Su Tong sighed:
