Overturned Tower

"By the way, if you put strangulation and inferiority together...is that okay?"

Delphinium asked curiously and worriedly: "I remember that Hangzhou was beaten by a bad person before. In other words, there are only a few people in the lower city who have not been beaten by a bad person... You leave the two of them alone, Won’t the bad ones be hanged for revenge or killed?”

Russell's class reunion didn't last long.

After all, we are all quite sensible adults.

Although they were once classmates and good friends who talked about everything. But after so many years, it is impolite, unhealthy and unrealistic to still want to tie an old friend to oneself.

Reunion is like a glass of wine. Just try it briefly and experience the relief of being tipsy and the beauty of getting out of boring things.

If you don't know how to control yourself, you will lose your reason, become ugly and disgusting.

After only an hour and a half, Cinsha proposed to end the gathering.

After rejecting Chensha's request to drive Russell and Delphinium back, Russell took Delphinium for a walk on the streets of Sogo Island at night.

"No," Russell said with certainty, "Don't listen to what Mr. Hangsha said about wanting to take revenge on me... On the one hand, that's because he has excessive self-esteem, and on the other hand, it's because he has a strong inferiority complex.

"Under the influence of these two kinds of psychology, he will pay special attention to his every move and care about his own face. Let alone revenge on the inferior, even if something happens to the inferior, he will definitely help him. Even if it is Even if he is in danger, he cannot tolerate the inferior being in danger in front of him.

"He has such a personality... probably because he had an unfortunate childhood."

"Have you read his mind?"

"Of course. I just haven't read yours."

"Didn't I allow you to read it?"

Delphinium was a little dissatisfied: "Did you take it as my kind words?"

"That's not true, just because it's not necessary... because I don't have the desire to control everything. And we also have enough tacit understanding, don't we? There is no need to read minds, I can understand you, and you can understand me. .”

"That's right. I thought just now that I would have to be the villain in the end."

Delphinium walked in front with her hands behind her back, turned her head slightly, and raised her lips slightly: "For example, if your party lasts for more than two hours... I will jump out and say in an incomprehensible way, 'Your Mr. Russell did something wrong last night. I was so excited to return to my hometown that I almost didn’t sleep, and then I took you back to sleep.

"After all, you are all friends. If it's like Chensha, it would be better if the host announces the end of the meeting... If someone suddenly says that they have something to leave, but other people are happy, it will be too disappointing. It hurts my feelings. But at this time, there is no problem for an 'outsider' like me to raise the issue - after all, you are just accommodating me, and I am the one who is rude."

"You are so understanding, Ms. Flotte."

Russell looked at Delphinium teasingly: "How can you think so thoughtfully about such a small thing?"

"Learned it from TV."

Delphinium stopped from the front, hugged Russell with one hand, leaned against his neck and whispered: "But rather than saying 'you are so understanding, ma'am'... I would rather you say 'you are so understanding, madam'" , where's my sister?"

"...You promised not to touch me when you go back."

Russell begged for mercy in a low voice: "Mao Mao is so sleepy. Really sleepy."

"I remember. I just wanted to scare you..."

Delphinium smiled meaningfully: "Dogs can always tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal."

Russell shrank his neck and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, are there any programs that teach this kind of thing? Why don't I remember it?"

"Because there really isn't."

"Did not you say……"

"That's because when I watch some animations, novels, TV series or movies, I often see some characters who were quite lovable at first suddenly make some very stupid actions. Either they are not using their brains, or they are too self-righteous. , or maybe you are too anxious to do things, or you are not considerate of others..."

Delphinium tilted her head, remembering.

"That's because there's something wrong with the screenwriter's brain," Russell complained. "Obviously the relationship is already very good, but they want to drag it out. So they force conflicts to cool down... What's going to do to pull the audience away?"

"No, this is part of what you said. But anyway, it would be nice to remind me."

Delphinium shook her head and said seriously: "When I feel that certain behaviors will not be good...for example, it will make people feel embarrassed, or it will increase other people's blood pressure, or it will be self-defeating and drag down others. Every time, I will carefully write it down. For example, if a teammate is in the back, shouting to you "Quickly leave", and then crying over there, "I won't leave, I won't leave" and other mentally retarded plots..."

"...That is indeed quite retarded."

Russell nodded in agreement.

"Really? So I plan to remember these operations that will make me feel uncomfortable. If I encounter a similar scene in reality, I must be more vigilant - I would rather deal with it in reverse. I don't want to let myself become That kind of annoying 'character' in some novel or movie..."

Delphinium snickered like a fox, and suddenly came over and kissed Russell: "Just like this!"

"...Is this kind of operation still seen in TV dramas?"

Russell was stunned for a moment and looked at Delphinium in confusion. He didn't even realize that he was being kissed suddenly.

"there is."

Delphinium left Russell again, walked to the front with hands behind her back, then turned around and walked slowly backwards: "When I see a similar plot, the barrage reaction is very intense. The audience will be very envious of the male protagonist. ...So I think if you put it into reality, you might also like it.

"——So, do you like it?"

"I do."

Russell nodded honestly.

He also felt a little strange in his heart.

Is Delphinium the type who specializes in learning this kind of thing?

"I used to think that you were the kind of serious person...who wouldn't often watch such entertainment works. You would rather seize the time to complete your work or improve yourself."

Russell said frankly, and reached out to hold Delphinium, who was still slowly retreating in front of him, to prevent her from tripping over the debris on the road: "It's the kind of person who doesn't know the style, but is very enthusiastic in private. The type who hides his shyness with seriousness, but is actually unexpectedly innocent.”

"Indeed it is."

Delphinium smiled with satisfaction when she heard Russell's high opinion of herself.

But she quickly went on to say: "But people will grow and change. I am no exception. For some reason, when I knew you became the chairman... I couldn't muster the energy to work."

Because I'm so familiar with it, I don't have the kind of work pressure of "I have to do my own job well, otherwise I might be held accountable."

...It may also be because, as the holder of "lethal love", she was originally placed in the position of minister. She has no desire for power. She is only forced to work seriously due to pressure and sense of responsibility.

Now, she has begun to become more and more lazy.

It can’t be that you’ve learned something from Russell, right?

"And because of love, I also hope that I can become better, and I hope that I can give you a better self... instead of being accommodated and compromised by you. But I really don't want to be in contact with others, and my experience cannot change out of thin air. Come out. In that case, it’s better to learn from virtual works.”

"Then you can't actually learn anything, right? After all, what the characters in the virtual work say and do, and how they react when encountering something, are all limited by the screenwriter's knowledge and experience, and not necessarily Reasonable, but not necessarily universal,” Russell said.

"Yes, so I plan to do the opposite - ignore the evaluation of the 'characters' in the work, and instead base myself on the evaluation of 'myself' outside the play. Choose what I like to study, and find out what I will hate. Correction. Because I think you might also like what I like...

"In this way, you can grow yourself even in entertainment works. Then it is not a waste of time."

Delphinium said seriously and seriously.

In a sense, Russell was not wrong about her.

She is indeed the type who cherishes time very much and seeks the meaning of time. If you can't handle the work, you have to improve yourself.

"...Then I understand."

Russell suddenly understood: "You suddenly walked backwards, hoping that I could catch you when you were about to fall, right? Because you can't see the road, but I can see the road behind you... So you are actually walking backwards." You put your own safety in my hands to show your trust in me."

"Is that so? I don't know the principle... I just put myself in your shoes and think, if I were you and you were me, and you did this... I would feel cute and stare at you all the time. .”

Delphinium said seriously: "And I just hope that you can always look at me.

"Instead of having a jealous heart attack and asking questions like 'Am I important or what is more important?', it is better to use such a simple little action so that you can protect me without any effort or danger."

There is only one update today... It is now 4:50, and the cat feels that he is going to die suddenly, so he decides to rest for half a day!

But it’s only half a day!
