It's like I'm not reborn
Chapter 118
Chapter 118 Love Triangle
These words directly silenced the two of them.
However, Shi Hai was unforgiving and continued to initiate soul torture.
"If you can't accept it, then you have to fight, grab, be more persistent, pay more...but in the end you can only leave it to me to choose."
"At that time, what should I rely on to choose? Is it all based on my own preferences?"
"Do you think this is fair?"
Shi Hai is trying to put their distorted thoughts back on track.
Now what he said was all based on the 'correct' concept, making it impossible for Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie to refute.
Jian Sichun can only forcefully insist on the 'false theory'.
"It is indeed unfair, but love is not fair! And... who said we can't accept it!"
However, once he said that, he had completely fallen into the trap designed by Shi Hai.
"Okay, then even if you wronged yourself a bit and were ready to accept three people together... But I don't know how to separate myself, and I can't become two, let alone split my personality. Both of you are satisfied, even so, can you? Are you really satisfied like this?"
can or can't...
In fact, no matter what the answer is, it doesn't matter anymore.
If the answer is yes, Shi Hai can say, you will definitely still have disputes, I don't want to see you quarrel because of me, so I quit.
If the answer is no, then GG directly, there is no need to continue arguing.
Shi Hai can teach them both front and back, and they are already invincible.
Jane wished the two daughters a hard time.
Because of being too nervous, my breathing became short of breath, and my palms were sweating again.
Now is the situation they are most afraid of, and it is also the direction Shi Hai deliberately leads.
Stop being ambiguous, keep an appropriate distance, and continue to be good friends.
But the way to go further in the relationship was completely blocked.
At that time, Shihai's "field above friends" will become a "vacuum area" without "women".
So I can no longer be led by him by the nose, and I have to disrupt his rhythm.
So Zhu Lingjie raised her hand and asked.
"I want to ask, since Senior Sister Tianshui is also a reborn, then she should also be interested in Shi Hai, right?"
"It's true that she is interested in me, but rather than saying that she likes me, it might be better to say that she wants to 'get me'."
"Want to get you?"
"Well, how should I put it... For example, it's a bit like the interviewer met a job applicant he likes, so he gave the signal 'I want you'."
"So that's how it is... In other words, Senior Sister Tianshui appreciates you very much."
"That's right, this isn't actually 'pure love'."
That's why Shi Hai didn't say these "persuading" words to Tian Shui.
Because there is no need for that.
"So I made a bet with senior sister Tianshui. If I fall in love with her, I will propose to her immediately."
Jian Sichun pouted and said.
"It's really an unfair bet, whether you are tempted or not is not your opinion!"
Jian Sichun knew that it was true that Shi Hai was very honest, but he was not stupidly honest. If he felt it was necessary, he would say things against his will.
So this kind of bet is impossible to win, after all, as long as Shi Hai keeps his mouth shut, he can remain invincible.
Jian Sichun thought that fox spirit was quite cunning, but she didn't expect it to be a stupid fox.
"Senior Tianshui, is she stupid? To make such a bet with you, you just don't want to win!"
"Sister Tianshui is definitely not stupid. In fact, she doesn't really want me to propose to her at all."
Zhu Lingjie pinched her chin and thought for a while, and understood the true meaning of Tianshui's proposed bet.
"I see... For Senior Tianshui, the 'result' is not important, the important thing is 'can be close to your qualification'?"
"That's right, as long as I make this bet, I won't be able to find any excuses to avoid or stay away from Senior Sister Tianshui."
In other words, what Tianshui wants is actually an opportunity to 'continue output'.
As long as her weight in Shi Hai's heart can continue to increase, her goal has been achieved.
Another reason is that Tian Shui and Shi Hai have similar personalities.
Both of them like gambling, so they hit it off and made this kind of bet.
There is quite a taste of sympathy.
"This is the difference between you and her. Sister Tianshui doesn't purely like or love me. Even if we can't be lovers or husband and wife, we can still be 'partners' or 'opponents'. Of course, I also hope This is the relationship with you..."
If he can maintain this "healthy relationship" with Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie, Shi Hai thinks there will be no problem.
But it is clear that they are not satisfied with this relationship.
Because they didn't ask 'Why can't we also establish such a bet with them'.
Using Tianshui to cut into the topic did not yield breakthrough results.
The initiative was still firmly held by Shi Hai.
At this time, he decided to make a big move.
"Then let's talk about the truth... In fact, this is the most important thing. I have already explained it to you yesterday. At present, I have less than ten years left to live."
Both Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie swallowed their saliva.
coming!
The most important part of today's date.
Once entering this debate, Shi Hai will definitely come up with the most powerful arguments.
Life theory!
If Shi Hai could be persuaded in this place, then he would have a chance to take him down in one fell swoop!
But if he can't change his 'death consciousness', he can only watch him and can't get close to him!
Jian Sichun said after taking a deep breath.
"It's not necessarily a tragedy that will happen now!"
"Indeed, there may be a turning point this time...but you can't ignore the current problems because of this possibility, right?"
"But you have to have hope!"
"However, if all hope is placed in the future, people will become unable to bear the pain. There is a best precedent around me."
Shi Hai said while recalling the past.
"Although my mother is indeed very cheerful now, you may not know what she was like before, especially in the few years when my father just passed away... If it wasn't for my son by her side, she might Already had a nervous breakdown."
For Shi Hai, this sentence is very convincing.
They were speechless.
But Shi Hai didn't finish speaking, and continued to make up the sword.
"It's hard for me to accept the thought that you will be in the same situation after my death."
"So no matter how you look at it, I'm not a suitable candidate."
"Even if you say that you are willing to be with me knowing that I am a short-lived ghost, I believe you are sincere."
"But I can't accept it, and I won't allow myself to do such an irresponsible thing."
"I'm sorry... I can't respond to you."
So far, it's all over.
It's all about this, and I really can't recover.
In fact, Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie had already guessed that Shi Hai would say that.
Knowing that he will have an accident in the future, he will definitely not choose to 'drag anyone' again.
He is that kind of man.
In fact, this is why Jian Sichun didn't want to tell Shi Hai that he would have an accident in the future.
Because she knew that if she told Shi Hai, it would be impossible for her and Shi Hai.
So after returning to Zhu Lingjie's house last night, the two stayed up all night, just thinking about how to deal with Shi Hai's life-span theory to reject them.
Now it's not a question of who can be his girlfriend or his wife...
If this trend continues, Shi Hai estimates that he will remain a virgin until his death!
Let Shi Hai die alone... that would be too lonely!
So Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie, good girlfriends, began to plan how to kick open Shi Hai's closed heart.
Now there is no way to compete in a friendly and fair manner. If this continues, there will be no more opportunities for free, and both of them will be eliminated.
But when it was dawn in the morning, they couldn't think of any good solution.
They just discussed some codes and how to stick them to Shi Hai's side.
And the most critical theoretical part is still at a loss...
How to change the concept of time and sea.
Convince him to accept them...
Even if it's three people together!
To get him to think 'maybe it's good to try with them' is a success.
At this time, Jian Sichun hadn't given up yet, she still wanted to make a 'dying struggle'.
"Shi Hai, have you ever thought that it is irresponsible to make us 'heart-dead' like this?"
"There is no way. If there is no way to balance both ends, I will choose a more reasonable option."
"Do you really think that makes sense?"
"Of course, life is more important than feelings."
"If all emotions are missing, what's the point of living?"
"This is just your current opinion. Even before you were reborn, you were just young women who hadn't passed half your life, and you just happened to be in the 'love period', so it's normal for you to value feelings."
Shi Hai paused and continued.
"But when I die... ten years from now, twenty years from now?"
"As long as people live long enough, their concepts and preferences will change, and their feelings will continue to fade."
"It's useless to be stubborn now, time will tell everything."
People are very fickle.
People who can stay the same all the time are even rarer.
Given enough time, everyone will live a different life.
That's why there is that classic saying.
Everyone ends up living a life they hate.
"call……"
Jian Sichun exhaled and said.
"Having said so much... it's just that you don't like us so much that you want to be with us no matter what."
Shi Hai didn't deny it either.
"...you can say the same."
"So, you are so eager to draw conclusions, are you afraid that you will like us?"
"Of course I'm afraid... You are so beautiful, and you still like me wholeheartedly. If I'm really tempted, wouldn't that be asking for pain?"
He admitted it!
Right...that's right!
It is impossible for Shi Hai not to be tempted at all!
The reason why he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible was because a flame had already appeared in his heart!
This little flame is the most critical kindling... We must continue to add fuel to the fire, so that this fire will burn vigorously!
His mind was so burned that he lost his sanity!
This is where the horn of counterattack begins!
Jian Sichun smiled and leaned on his shoulder, drawing circles on his chest while saying.
"What are you afraid of? You can try to like us? Then you don't have to suffer?"
"I suspect that what I said earlier was ignored by you..."
"I'm an idiot, I can't understand complicated topics~"
"It turns out that this is still a good excuse..."
Shi Hai was a little helpless.
Jian Sichun began to play petty temper, it is impossible to expect her to understand.
Then we can only pin our hopes on Zhu Lingjie, who is more sober.
Shi Hai turned his head and said to Zhu Lingjie.
"Lingjie, I have to apologize to you."
"Hey?"
"Before I thought you were unable to get close to other men because of mental illness, but you could only get close to me. That's why you confessed to me. Now it seems that I really thought too superficially."
"Ah...that, I don't care..."
She said with a shy smile.
"Actually, that's because I was too impatient..."
"Really? So don't you think that you are also a little anxious now?"
Shi Hai began to pull.
If it doesn't make sense once, say it twice, and if it doesn't make sense twice, say it three times.
If they keep saying what they keep saying, they will definitely give up.
But this time, Zhu Lingjie and Jian Sichun had the same goal.
It can be said that at this moment, in order for Shi Hai to accept the 'impossible path', they connected with each other.
"Maybe...but we just don't want to give up."
"You have your reasons, and we also have our persistence."
"Shi Hai, you said that you have no real feelings, so you think there is no reason for our liking. This is indeed true...Because you have no memory, so you don't understand our 'persistence'."
Zhu Lingjie put her hand and Shi Hai's hand on her chest.
"These memories are our most precious treasures..."
"But now there is no way to reproduce these memories?"
"Can create new memories... three people together."
"That's right! Three people together!"
What kind of trouble are the three of them together...
"No, it's impossible, haven't I already said it just now, do I need to repeat it again?"
Zhu Lingjie shook her head and said.
"You don't need a clone, you don't need a split personality, and you don't need to think about fairness... You can like me more, or you can like Sisi more..."
"Is this okay too!"
Shi Hai was shocked.
Even if he doesn't have many girls, he knows that this kind of thinking is very distorted.
At least ordinary girls don't have such thoughts.
"Why not? As you said, people are fickle. You may like Sisi more in a certain period of time, and you may like me more in a certain period of time...We won't care."
"Uh……"
"Actually, the problem now is that with a limited lifespan, you feel that it is very irresponsible to abandon us without authorization, and feel that you owe us something, right?"
"...Yes, exactly."
"So, what if...even if you really die, we can live happily?"
"what?"
Zhu Lingjie stretched out her other hand.
"Last night, we thought all night and couldn't think of a way to convince you...but we thought of a way to get out of the pain of losing you."
Jian Sichun also stretched out his other hand.
"As long as this is enough..."
They both held hands together.
Shi Hai was a little confused, tilted his head and asked.
"This is?"
Zhu Lingjie answered.
"A love triangle."
"A love triangle?"
"Yes, but it doesn't mean that both Sisi and I like you...Actually, that can't be called a love triangle, it should be called a V-shaped love."
"That doesn't mean...!"
Shi Hai understood their thoughts.
It's nonsense, but... it seems, it seems, there is some truth to it.
Jian Sichun laughed.
"Yes! The three of them like each other! In this way, even if one of them is gone, the remaining two can support each other to survive!"
True love triangle.
