Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1078 The West of Timing (2)

Cheng Mo put down the work of installing radio telescopes, and searched the Internet for information about the author "Nanxi". There are no interviews, even if you can occasionally find photos of Nanxi participating in the signing of "Ouroboros-East of Time Series" in the super chat, they are still wearing a mask and a pair of big black-rimmed glasses, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

This makes Cheng Mo more and more sure that "Nanxi" is Teacher Shen, because only Teacher Shen has a [-]% reason to be so guarded against death, and doesn't want people to know that she wrote this book
But at this time, what Cheng Mo was struggling with was not whether Nanxi was Shen Youyi, but about what Fu Yuanzhuo said about Mr. Shen having a child.Although Cheng Mo is far more mature than his peers, he is still at a loss when encountering such a thing.Although Cheng Mo has been married for the second time, he is really not ready to be a father, not to mention getting married and having a child, and suddenly having a child, the feeling is completely different.

Cheng Mo felt that he needed to calm down, so he walked out of Hesheng Xiaoyun's sun room on the top floor, and stood in the cold wind raging on the roof.But the bone-chilling chill didn't make him think clearly. He furrowed his brows tightly, and his mind was still in a mess.

In fact, when he heard this from Fu Yuanzhuo, he thought about whether the child belonged to him or not, as far as his own judgment was concerned, the possibility was not high.One is that except for the time in the classroom, he wears a small umbrella all the time, and even in the classroom, Shen Youyi also said that he took medicine the next day.The second is that he went to Tsinghua University to study, and Mr. Shen went to support teaching. During the video call, Mr. Shen never showed any signs of pregnancy.

Based on these two points, coupled with Gao Yuemei's interference, Cheng Mo thinks that the child should not be his.

"But why did you write this book? And Xie Minyun was deleted?"

Looking at the dim skyline, Cheng Mo was puzzled, and he remembered what Shen Youyi said: "What is literature? This is the core proposition in Barry Gifford's "The Writers". In "Being At the end of Ixion in Exile, Camus looked at himself in the mirror, borrowing Proust's words to deconstruct literature into the pores—"Literature is the most delicate lie". So it was difficult for me to accept a fact for a while, That is, every writer is a liar. Words are the mask of the writer, the clothes of the writer, and the conversation of the writer. Readers often think that through words, they can go deep into the heart of the writer, but that is just wishful thinking. The readers have no sympathy, he just uses techniques to arouse the tremors in the readers’ hearts”

"Maybe... the teacher is just fulfilling her own wish? The heroine in the book may be what she expects of me, just as the hero in the book may be what she expects me to be. It's a pity that Teacher Shen is not Si Caiwei. And I'm not Zhou Ling either."

Cheng Mo took out his mobile phone and entered Shen Youyi's previous phone number. Holding the phone, he stared at the phone number and did not dial it.Gloomy clouds were within reach, covering the sky and covering the sky, and the two Italian cypress trees swayed in the cold wind, as if they were about to be crushed by the heavy dark clouds.

"What if the teacher is really married to someone else? Why should I call to interfere with the life of a woman who doesn't want to have too much entanglement with the past?"

Cheng Mo smiled bitterly, he felt a kind of fragility, the fragility of human beings, and the fragility of emotions, especially love, whether it is time, money, or desire, is its enemy, its enemies are everywhere, and It needs too much careful care, and it will fall to pieces if you don't pay attention.

He put down his phone, walked back to the dimly lit sun room, and said to himself, "At least we have to investigate the situation clearly."

-----------------------

When it was nearly six o'clock, Cheng Mo went downstairs.Athena is obsessed with hot pot recently, so Cheng Mo takes Athena to eat different kinds of hot pot every day.

This afternoon Athena was giving a lecture at the University of Huaxia Academy of Sciences, so Cheng Mo chose an old Beijing copper pot shabu-shabu near Zhongguancun.A few days ago, Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong invited guests again. As for other people's private invitations, Cheng Mo didn't agree, and today there are only Cheng Mo and Athena.

When Cheng Mo arrived at the appointed store in a Rolls-Royce driven by Jiang Jun, Athena was already seated by the window, browsing the menu.

Winter is a good time to eat hot pot. Even before the meal time, there are already many people sitting in the hot pot restaurant. There are not few foreigners in the capital, but there are still few people as beautiful as Athena. Few people were sneaking glances at Athena who was eating hot pot by herself.

Cheng Mo has long been used to this kind of gaze, so he sat across from Athena without any surprises, ordered more than 30 plates of mutton in one breath under the surprised eyes of the waiter, and rejected the waiter's proposal not to waste food, and told them that the two of them could finish eating.

Mutton is the main dish in the old Beijing copper pot. Athena had never eaten mutton. When she came to this hot pot restaurant, she was attracted by the secret sesame sauce and the one-year-old Sunite tribute sheep.I repeatedly praised the breadth and depth of Chinese cuisine, but I didn't expect that the seemingly simple hot pot can play so many different tricks.

In particular, cola and hot pot are also a perfect match. When the spicyness is deep in the soul, it is not too refreshing to have an iced cola.The two chatted while eating and talking about "J equation and supercritical Hermitian Yang Zhenning-Mills equation deformation". This deformation combines mathematics, physics, string theory, particle physics, Yang Zhenning and Yau Chengtong. A big improvement, this is also the topic of Athena's lecture at Huaxia Academy of Sciences this afternoon.

After chatting about academic issues, Athena mentioned that "Ouroboros-West of Time Series" will be released on January 1, and she wants to get a copy as soon as possible.

Cheng Mo didn't mean to shy away from this matter. Seeing that the opportunity was right, he stopped eating the mutton roll and said, "I have something to tell you about this book and its author."

"Yeah!" Athena didn't stop her hands, and quickly rinsed the mutton roll in the steaming heat, then rinsed it in the secret sesame sauce, and skillfully used the red lacquer chopsticks to hand the mutton roll elegantly. Into the slightly rosy sandalwood mouth.

"In the afternoon, Yan Yitong called me and told me that she accepted the movie adaptation of this book. She read the original book and found that the leading actor seemed to be me. "Cheng Mo pushed down his glasses, "Of course, I'm far from as handsome as in the book, and I'm not as good as in the book. I'm quite self-aware."

"Is it you? That's really interesting." Athena's answer was very indifferent, as if she wasn't surprised by this, nor was she interested. She didn't even stop the chopsticks in her hand.

"Is it just interesting?" Cheng Mo smiled wryly, "But this book has made a lot of magical changes to some stories that happened to me, which is actually irrelevant, and it's not the point I want to say." He emphasized a little "The point is that the heroine Si Caiwei is actually a fusion of two women. Part of the experience is the grafted Xie Minyun's, and her personality is more inclined to the author, that is, my teacher. Her name is Shen Youyi, also known as Nan. brook"

When Si Caiwei and Nanxi were mentioned, Athena raised her eyelids, and her hand, which was holding the mutton roll, froze in mid-air, and said in surprise, "You mean this book is yours. Written by the teacher? Your teacher is Nanxi?"

Cheng Mo took a breath and nodded.

Athena's eyes lit up, "Then teacher Nanxi's cooking is particularly good???"

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Athena would not care about the relationship between himself and Teacher Shen at all, but instead focused on such seemingly insignificant things as whether Teacher Shen's cooking was good or not. Caught off guard, he replied: "It's done. It's very good. It's very good. You can't stop eating it."

Athena said with longing: "No wonder. When I see her writing about food, she has a special appetite, and the writing is also very beautiful. It makes people feel as if they can witness how a dish with full color and flavor is born."

Cheng Mo didn't know how to respond, Athena's reaction was not at all what he imagined, he thought to himself: Shouldn't you pay attention to the romantic stories between your husband and his teacher?

Seeing that Cheng was silent, Athena asked again: "What other hobbies does Mr. Nanxi have besides cooking?"

Cheng Mo choked speechlessly, took a breath and said, "Arranging flowers, reading books, doing housework, etc. I don't seem to have any special hobbies. She's a very indifferent woman who has no material desires and is more pursuing spiritual satisfaction." He thought about it Think, said with a smile, "She is a woman who can study trivial housework at home all day, such as embroidery, making pastries, how to make books look better, and sometimes study carpentry. I think she is very suitable for it. A vlogger's"

"Sure enough, Si Caiwei is the projection of Teacher Nanxi. I guess the experience on K20 belongs to Xie Minyun?"

"Ah."

"No wonder I think that paragraph is a bit unnatural. It's not as smooth and moving as she writes some daily trifles. I actually like to watch Teacher Nanxi write some daily routines. As for the battle between those chosen ones, it's not interesting."

Cheng Mo couldn't help but defended: "She's not the chosen one, of course she doesn't write battles very well."

"No, I don't think the writing is bad, it's just that you are wrong, it should be that Zhou Ling tossed and tossed, even the clown Sith couldn't get it right, and Si Caiwei almost died. so boring."

Hearing what Athena said, Cheng Mo was a little depressed. If she hadn't been her husband, she would have called him hot.But that's okay, Cheng Mo has long accepted that there is an insurmountable gap between him and Athena.However, Athena had too much affection for "South Stream".If Cheng Mo hadn't confirmed that Athena was female and male, he really doubted whether Athena was interested in "Nanxi".

I don't know what kind of flying vinegar this is, Cheng Mo explained angrily: "I just got Ouroboros at that time, so I was only level zero, okay?"

"The carrier is very strong at level zero. There is no way to identify other people's carrier through the three-dimensional map. If there is no warning, just get close and kill it." Athena said indifferently, "As long as the other party is not a master of the sky list."

Cheng Mo raised his head and sighed, "It can't be compared with you."

Athena didn't continue to attack Cheng Mo, and asked: "Then you should guess what the plot of "The West of Time Series" is about? It won't be too big, but it's still about fighting and killing?"

"It should be a plot in school." Cheng Mo came back to his senses and said, "Hey! Don't you think it's inappropriate for a high school student to fall in love with a teacher?"

"What's wrong? This kind of thing is very common in France!"

Cheng Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "But...but this student is your husband."

"I know it's you." Athena seemed to find Cheng Mo's reaction very strange, "The campus love story between you and your teacher is interesting, full of warmth. If I don't want to spoil it, I would like to hear about you say something"

Cheng Mo opened his mouth to speak but stopped, and finally asked, "Do you not mind at all?"

"Why do you mind? Isn't it normal to have several lovers? My father and wife both married several, and they all lived in the same manor. They also had several children, but I killed them all."

Athena said it lightly, but Cheng Mo was speechless for a long time, and then said without words: "I almost forgot that you are also half French."

Athena shook her head, "No, it's one-third French, one-third Greek, and I'm one-third Chinese now."

"Assume." Cheng Mo rolled his throat, "I mean suppose Nanxi and I have a child. What would you think?"

"I think Nanxi will take care of the children very well." Athena put down her chopsticks, and said with some hope, "Actually, I'm really looking forward to seeing Nanxi take care of the children. It's your children."

Cheng Mo really couldn't understand Athena's brain circuit, so he said helplessly, "Don't you not like children?"

"I don't like children." Athena picked up the chopsticks and started cooking mutton rolls again, "but I like to watch the interaction between mothers and children, just like Meizi and Crayon Shin-chan. If you and Nanxi have a I'd be very happy with the kids."

Cheng Mo saved up a lot of love words that he wanted to explain and comfort Athena, but none of them had any effect. He let go of his worries and said with a sigh of relief: "I was a little scared at first. I'm afraid you will be very resistant to this kind of thing. .”

"Afraid?" Athena thought for a while before she understood, "You are not afraid that I will chop off Teacher Nanxi's head, are you?"

Cheng Mo curled the corner of his mouth, showing a non-embarrassing smile and acquiescing.

Athena shook her head like a rattle, "Then I can't bear it. I just want to arrest Teacher Nanxi and lock her into a small dark room so that she can code properly."

Cheng Mo shuddered, "It's not necessary, it's not necessary, code words need inspiration, and I don't think she procrastinated on purpose, but who doesn't want to make money if they really can't write?"

"It's better not to delay on purpose." Athena said, "Now that you both have children, when should you meet?"

"I'm not sure if the baby is mine yet."

"Let Shishi check it out."

Cheng Mo shook his head, "I don't want Xi Shi to interfere too much in my private life."

Athena let out an "oh", raised her chopsticks and continued to boil the meat, and said as a matter of course: "If that child is not yours, you can have another one with Teacher Nanxi!"

Cheng Mo was so frightened that he almost lost his chopsticks, "Why?"

"In this way, I can justifiably urge you to change, make a living, and don't have to give birth to you."

Cheng Mo covered his face, "I don't mind if there are children or not."

"I mind! But I don't want to have a baby, and I don't want to take it. Teacher Nanxi gave you the best baby. I want our child to have such a mother."

"You can't joke about this kind of thing." Cheng Mo shook his head, "Maybe Teacher Shen is already married to someone else."

"I would rather kill her husband."

Cheng Mo knew that what Athena said was not a joke, so he quickly waved his hands, "Don't do it, it will only cause pain for others, and I will be very sad too."

Athena stopped her chopsticks again, and said seriously: "Think carefully, you can't find a more suitable lover than Teacher Nanxi. If you find someone I don't like, and I cut it off with a knife, things will change. very bad"

Cheng Mo broke into a cold sweat, "I don't need to find a lover."

Athena said bluntly: "The surname Bai is not good. I don't like her, and she doesn't seem to be a good lover or mother."

Cheng Mo didn't dare to answer a word when he was blocked. He wanted to defend himself, but also knew that it was meaningless to someone like Athena who could directly read brainwaves, so he could only change the subject and said: "The old hot pot in Beijing is famous for its boiled mutton. , we also have Chaoshan hot pot in Huaxia, which is famous for its beef. Just like steak, it divides the meat of the beef into many parts for sale. The taste is also very good. I didn’t eat spicy food very much before, so I like this kind of hot pot. practice"

----------------------

A few days later, Athena's foreign affairs activities continued, but the intensity decreased a lot, and she basically went to the university to give lectures.Academic exchanges are more to Athena's appetite, she has never liked that kind of social activities.

But the delayed banquet had to be held after all, and the date was chosen to be held on the night of the Great Cold in China.This day is January 1th of the Gregorian calendar, Saturday, which happens to be the time when "Nanxi" holds a new book signing event in Xidan Book Building.

Cheng Mo has inquired that Nanxi's new book signing event will start at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and the banquet will start at the "Ji Club" at [-]:[-]. If he is going to Nanxi's new book signing event, then definitely Can't make it to the party.

Cheng Mo was a little confused.

After lunch at noon, Feng Luwan came to pick them up and were about to leave for Changping. Athena asked Cheng Mo if he would go to Xidan Book Building, and would buy her a copy of "Ouroboros - The West of Time Series" if he went to the book signing .
