"Cousin, since you are already interested in him, even if you don't use the method I suggested to absorb his purple energy, as long as you engage in unprotected intimacy, you will also absorb his purple energy and luck, although it will be minimal," Zhuge Meili blinked and teased.
Dong Yingxue blushed and said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense." "Who said I want to be with him?"
"Hehe, why are you blushing and feeling embarrassed?" This doesn't seem like your usual self. We are all adults now, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. In this day and age, who has a boyfriend but doesn't have sex? What do you think Li Zhi is pursuing you for? "Isn't it just for your looks?" Zhuge Meili was straightforward.
"You understand too much," Dong Yingxue rolled her eyes. It's true, but it feels awkward to say it out loud.
Who doesn't want their love to be pure, without any impurities?
Does love really have to involve desire?
Anyone who asks this question is deceiving themselves. Can love still be considered noble and pure without desire?
Humans are, after all, a kind of animal, and desire is the most primitive instinct. Just as animals cannot avoid being driven by desire, humans also cannot, unless they attain godhood or saintliness and transcend the secular world. But how many people can do that?
So, let's be practical.
What is love? Falling for a beautiful woman is often referred to as love. Falling for a handsome man is often mistaken for love. When a man and a woman come together due to desire, it is also referred to as love.
Although it's a bit one-sided, it suits 99% of the world.
Love, separated into love and affection, can complicate things. In the end, the majority of love is caused by 'sex' or 'desire'.
Humans have a unique wisdom, skillful at masking basic concepts with eloquent words, making them sound more appealing and refined.
Spring has arrived, and it's mating season!
The above is purely about love!
"Cousin, be honest with me." "Have you truly fallen for Li Zhi?" Zhuge Meili suddenly asked seriously.
Dong Yingxue blushed and said, "So what if I have?" So what if I haven't? Does it make a difference?
"Of course it does!" Zhuge Meili nodded. "If you have, then everything will naturally fall into place." Both you and Li Zhi will benefit from it, and it won't hinder your feelings for each other. It's a good thing for you, for him, for the Dong family, and for me. "I actually hope you two get together, even though it's not very fair to you, cousin!"
Dong Yingxue was lost in thought as she drove, not interrupting Zhuge Meili's words.
After a pause, Zhuge Meili continued, "If you don't like Li Zhi, then it's cruel to you." Perhaps you'll have to spend your whole life with someone you don't like, unless they die. But his death wouldn't be good for you, for me, or for the Dong family. If you don't like him, you won't feel heartache when you take something from him. "We can take it step by step and plan for the future."
Like or not like?
Dong Yingxue couldn't answer the question herself. Her understanding of romantic relationships was not extensive. She was not indecisive, but rather calm and decisive when faced with difficult situations. This was also necessary for her work because sometimes she needed to make the final decision.
"You still have time, but your time for contemplation is running out." Li Zhi's fate is already in motion, and we are all part of the gears turning with him. We might be crushed, or we might accompany him to the end. "No one can be sure of the outcome!" Zhuge Meili said, turning to look out the car window, as if speaking to Dong Yingxue and also to herself, murmuring, "Time and fate are beyond human control." We can only do our best and listen to destiny. "Whether it succeeds or not, it all depends on fate."
Dong Yingxue smiled and said, "In that case, why do you keep calculating everything?" Just let things happen naturally!
"That won't do." Everything is relative. For example, the more you strive, the more you may gain, or you may not gain anything. But if you don't strive, you definitely won't gain anything. So, fighting may not necessarily yield results, but not fighting is doomed to failure. "Fate also tends to favor those who strive," Zhuge Meili shook her head.
Good things don't just fall into your lap, and even if they do, they are likely to be a trap. Just like a free lunch, it exists, but it's rare. You may eat it, but it could be your last meal.
People need to look forward and plan for the future. They need to learn to fight for themselves.
Good things won't just fall into your lap, even if they do.
Even if someone is extremely lucky, lounging in the palace all day, they still cannot see the outside world.
Dong Yingxue felt that her cousin sometimes sounded like a madwoman, but at other times, her words were quite philosophical and reasonable.
"Don't always talk about me." What about you? You're not young anymore. "Shouldn't you find a boyfriend too?" Dong Yingxue smiled. How could she, as the older cousin, allow Zhuge Meili to lecture her? To alleviate her own discomfort, she felt compelled to make things challenging for the other person.
"Boyfriend?" What's that? Can you eat it? Zhuge Meili asked playfully.
Dong Yingxue rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, you can." "At night, you can eat it however you want, and no one will stop you!"
"Hehe, really?" I don't understand. Cousin, you know so much. Have you already tried it? Zhuge Meili blinked and acted cute.
"Can you speak properly?" You're giving me goosebumps. Don't change the subject. "When are you going to find a boyfriend?" Dong Yingxue didn't fall for her tricks.
Zhuge Meili pouted and sighed, "What kind of boyfriend can I find?" Someone like me is destined to have a lot of flaws. Whoever becomes my boyfriend will have terrible luck and won't live long! Unless he's someone like Li Zhi, who can defy fate. "Maybe he can tolerate me!"
Dong Yingxue was taken aback. Zhuge Meili hadn't thought before speaking. When she realized her mistake, she quickly explained to Dong Yingxue, "Cousin, please don't misunderstand." I don't mean to compete with you for a boyfriend. "I'm just speaking in general!"
"Compete?" "Didn't you say he might become a king in the future?" With three palaces and six courtyards, there will definitely be room for one more person. I don't mind if you're that one more person. "I'm not worried," Dong Yingxue smiled and said. "Are you not worried?" I'm worried. If Li Zhi is not my type, I can't stand him. I won't find anyone unless it's someone I like and who also likes me. "My man will definitely not be worse than yours!"
"Someone who likes you and whom you like." "Isn't that hard to find?" Dong Yingxue smiled. "Didn't you say that someone like Li Zhi, with great opportunities and luck, might only appear once in a hundred years?" "If you want to find a man better than him, does that mean you want to replace him as your partner?"
Zhuge Meili's eyes shifted, and she muttered, "I won't tell you." You wouldn't understand. "This is all fate, and revealing it will bring down lightning!"
Dong Yingxue scolded her, "I think pretending to be someone you're not will bring down the lightning, right?"
"Cousin, you're a police officer." How can you use foul language? Zhuge Meili protested, wide-eyed.
"What's wrong with being a police officer?" "Can't a police officer have their own feelings?" Dong Yingxue replied, unfazed.
"Yes, but you shouldn't curse at people!" Zhuge Meili blinked and said.
"Don't interrupt me." If you can't handle it, I'll introduce you to some colleagues from our department. They're all handsome and strong. Dong Yingxue suggested, "You can go on a blind date to see if you find someone suitable."
Before Zhuge Meili could respond, Dong Yingxue interrupted her, saying, "Stop the car." Just stop here. I just remembered that I have something to do. "You can leave me here, and I'll walk by myself!"
When the topic of blind dates came up, Zhuge Meili felt overwhelmed.
Dong Yingxue left her on the side of the road, knowing that her cousin had been raised with a lot of freedom and didn't need to worry about her. After Zhuge Meili got out of the car, Dong Yingxue lowered the window and said with a smile, "It's settled then." I'll arrange for you to meet someone tomorrow!
Without waiting for Zhuge Meili's response, she stepped on the gas and drove away.
Watching her cousin look dejected, Dong Yingxue felt relieved. After all, her cousin always tried to lecture her in front of others, and she couldn't let her cousin become too arrogant. She didn't know how many eyes the Horse King had.
"Li Zhi is really not my type!" Zhuge Meili muttered to herself as she watched the car drive away.
Today's events were quite strange. No one expected Zhao Sihai to personally visit the Falling Star Tower. Given Zhao Sihai's status, the matter was undoubtedly significant for Li Zhi, as they were not equals. What was Zhao Sihai thinking when he not only showed up but also lost to Li Zhi? He didn't even lose his temper. What was going on in Zhao Sihai's mind?
Zhuge Meili frowned. Something was not right. There was definitely something happening, and she needed to hurry back to decipher the situation.
Strange occurrences always have a reason!
…
When Li Zhi left the Falling Star Tower, it was already late in the evening. He was going home alone, with nothing to do. He thought for a moment and decided to call Mu Xiaomei. She had spent the afternoon with Su Feier, and he wasn't sure if they were still a couple!
