Riding the wind of rebirth

"I understand this." Zhou Zhi nodded: "It's like I can order you around with peace of mind. This is a sense of security, a sense of security that comes from being spoiled by you."

"Yeah." Feng Xueshan nodded gently: "That's it. Elbow, you are now strong enough that you don't need this sense of security, but I can't. I am now very... dependent on this sense of security. Do you understand?"

Zhou Zhi actually instinctively felt that Feng Xueshan had experienced something in Manzhou. As soon as Feng Xueshan made the request, Zhou Zhi immediately brought her to Shudu, which was also driven by this instinct. "I understand, but Yang He is a person who lives a life..."

"I'm not a person who lives a life?" Feng Xueshan asked back immediately, her eyes wide open, meaning that you should be careful when talking to me.

"That's not what I meant." Zhou Zhi felt a little guilty for some reason and quickly explained, "I meant that the monk is honest and will give his all once he gives. As for you... don't bully him."

The word "let down" was on the tip of his tongue, but he temporarily changed it to "bully".

"Don't I know he's honest?! Do you need to remind me?!" Feng Xueshan knew Zhou Zhi had changed his words at the last minute. Her face turned slightly red. She rolled her eyes at him and spat, "I can let you down, but I can't let him down. So I officially announce that I have broken my contract with you."

"I am the one who always gets hurt, right?" Zhou Zhi pretended to be indignant, then smiled slyly: "This time I really don't even have the slightest thought left."

"Actually, we haven't started yet!" Feng Xueshan couldn't help herself and hit Zhou Zhi, emphasizing: "Remember, from now on, I can only hit you, and you are not allowed to touch me again!"

"The rules have been established already?" Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded. "Wait, what's that sentence at the beginning? What do you mean you haven't started yet?"

"He was too timid," Feng Xueshan said, "I had to cross the road and take his hand..."

"I haven't read so many romance novels in vain..." Zhou Zhi sighed: "Comparing monks with you is..."

I couldn't think of any words for a moment, so I managed to come up with one: "...plain."

"Pfft!" Feng Xueshan couldn't help laughing at Zhou Zhi's amusement, but she still sighed: "It's just that I read too many novels in the past, which made me too stupid."

After that, he said to Zhou Zhi seriously: "Elbow, I have really thought about our agreement. We are best friends, but if we really take that step, it will turn into a disaster."

"I don't think so." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Not to mention being redundant, at least you can still be happy with each other, right? This is much better than many other couples."

"Don't interrupt!" Feng Xueshan amused Zhou Zhi again: "Do you remember? I once said that when one day you tell me about your emotional experience, we will be equal emotionally. Then we can start."

"I remember." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It was during the winter break of my first year in high school, and then we made the promise to turn thirty."

"The result is simply impossible," Feng Xueshan said helplessly: "When you told me about your emotional experience with Shuyi, I felt that there was even less equality between us. I finally saw clearly that you two are the kind of people who only exist in novels. I've been struggling for a long time, but I'm still an ordinary person after all." "In fact, I still say that it's still possible to never get tired of each other."

"You can put such low demands on me?" Feng Xueshan said angrily, "You can even omit the word love, right?"

"Actually, I've never really thought about this." Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment: "Now that you put it like that, it seems to be true. How did we become so familiar with each other without realizing it?"

"I know because I'm so familiar with him." Feng Xueshan said, "I can feel the monk's 100% dedication. You can never expect the same from him."

"Although I don't want to admit it," Zhou Zhi looked at the jasmine flowers floating in the teacup, "monks are indeed more suitable as a partner for girls than me."

"You don't have to belittle yourself. You're very good." Feng Xueshan held her chin with her hand and looked at Zhou Zhi seriously, as if she had never looked at him seriously before. "But no matter how good you are, you can't give me what I want most, so you're just not suitable for me. You're still very attractive to other girls."

"So I should thank you for your comfort?"

"If you don't like it, then I'll thank you instead." Feng Xueshan picked up her cup and gently clinked it with Zhou Zhi's: "Thank you for your company over the years. You always surprise me."

"Why do you seem relieved?" Zhou Zhi also held out his cup and gently touched it with Feng Xueshan's. "There is something I want to confirm. Did you discuss today's matter in advance? Is it the monk's intention that you tell me this?"

Feng Xueshan's smile became brighter: "I thought you really didn't care at all, but you asked it anyway."

"You underestimate your own charm. How could I not care at all?" Zhou Zhi also smiled to himself: "After all, we have been together for so many years. It's not an exaggeration to say that we share weal and woe. Now that you have decided to be with my best brother, I actually need a period of adjustment."

Feng Xueshan shook her head: "We haven't actually discussed this, but I want to make this clear to you before I start with him."

"After all, we knew each other first and have always had a good relationship. Although we know how we feel about each other, it may be another situation in the eyes of others." Feng Xueshan said and sighed: "In fact, I can also feel the monk's concerns, mainly because of you. He is afraid that you will think... that he stole me from you."

"So you care about the monk's feelings." Zhou Zhi didn't feel relieved until now. After all, he was fifty or sixty years old in his two lives. He was not actually against Feng Xueshan taking the initiative to find her own happiness. He was only worried that Feng Xueshan would make mistakes and mistake emotions such as sympathy and pity for love and happiness.

Feng Xueshan has always had a high emotional intelligence and is good at noticing other people's emotional distress. Although she had always loved to use this advantage to tease Yang He for fun, it now seems that she does have some feelings for Yang He.

Otherwise, there would not be today's reverse operation, and he would not take the initiative to find Zhou Zhi to explain. As long as Zhou Zhi agreed, Yang He's concerns could be resolved openly.

"When did you start to feel something?" After his worries were relieved, Zhou Zhi's curiosity started to rise again: "As far as I know, the three little animals in the group will be very happy as long as you wave your hand. For example, the guy named Futianyu doesn't even need to buy a car." (End of this chapter)
