Millennium 2000, the earth enters the age of gods and demons

Chapter 31
"Is there any way to quickly fit into a conversation among other people? So that you don't feel like you're on the sidelines?"

Zhang Xiaoyu, who lowered his head and waited for her to tell him the method, thought silently in his heart.

My heart is full of curiosity and anticipation.

"If I can quickly integrate into other people's topics, I won't feel as uncomfortable as a thorn in my butt every time I sit and chat with others."

"Hehe, it's very simple, only six words!"

When the pleasant voice came, Inspector Wang taught Zhang Xiaoyu the experience she had summed up in daily life. She paused and said:
"Say less, I'll ask you more!"

"When everyone is chatting, they often say the word 'I', such as how am I, what did I see today, what did I just discover, I think I should, etc."

Zhang Xiaoyu lowered his head and thought, it seems that this is really the case, everyone around him, including himself, also often use this kind of language.

"Why is that?" Zhang Xiaoyu sincerely asked for advice.

"Because everyone is subconsciously looking for a sense of presence, using sentences with the word 'I' to share themselves and attract others' attention."

She carefully explained to Zhang Xiaoyu.

"Is there any problem with that?"

"If this happens often, he will take himself too seriously. If someone interrupts him to use a sentence with "I", he will involuntarily compete with others for the topic, so he only cares about himself and ignores the real expression of others. meaning and feeling."

She tilted her head and thought for a while before explaining carefully.
Zhang Xiaoyu understood a little bit. He remembered that when he was with Lao Miao and A Hui, he seemed to have had such an experience.

I didn't realize this problem before, but now I really noticed it when I heard her say it.

"If a person takes himself too seriously, he will lose himself and go to extremes."

"One extreme is to care about what others think of you, to live for others in words and deeds, to take other people's emotions as your own, and to become a marionette for others."

"The other extreme is that you only care about yourself. If other people's actions and words do not meet your wishes, you will feel that others treat you badly, so you will blame others and become a selfish person."

She or Inspector Wang pondered for a while, and finally seemed to think of something, and said to Zhang Xiaoyu with deep meaning.

Zhang Xiaoyu bowed her head in silence for a while, as if she was understanding, and also seemed to be carefully discerning every word she said.

He wasn't sure how he should keep from falling into either extreme.

"Hehe, don't think about it so much. After dinner, you should listen more and talk less, and observe whether they often use the pronunciation method beginning with the word 'I'."

"If you observe carefully, you will find it very interesting!"

She interrupted Zhang Xiaoyu, who was in deep thought, and said with a soft smile.

"Then how can I integrate into their topic? After all, I don't understand what they are talking about, and I may be cold."

Zhang Xiaoyu remembered the crux of the problem. Now he is not concerned about whether to go to extremes, but how to quickly integrate into a group.

After listening to Zhang Xiaoyu's question, she chuckled again.

"Hehe, I just said it. I'll ask you more if you don't talk. When you feel that others are paying attention to you, or when you want to blend in with others, you use the language that starts with the word 'you'."

"For example, someone at the table said, 'I just went to the business center', and no one answered. When the situation was about to be awkward, you asked, 'Why did you go to the business center?'."

"Use the pronunciation of the word 'you', take over his topic, and then throw it to him, let him tell his experience, so that the scene will not fall into an embarrassing silence."

She gave Zhang Xiaoyu a brief introduction to the usage of "I" and "you".

I saw a middle-aged man sneaking out of the corner of the wall in the distance and looking over here, so I didn't say any more.

"Let's go, go eat. I'm tired today. You can observe by yourself later."

Zhang Xiaoyu also turned his head and found the sharp-mouthed Xu in the corner, so he didn't say any more, and followed her towards the gate of the group.

The sharp-mouthed Xu in the distance watched Zhang Xiaoyu and Inspector Wang walking towards him together, and quickly greeted him with a smile, and said with a smile.

"Inspector, your colleague has already passed by first, can we go?"

"Okay, let's go together." Inspector Wang nodded politely.

Old Xu also smiled at Zhang Xiaoyu.

It seemed that the coercion and temptation just now and the unhappiness between the two disappeared.

Zhang Xiaoyu, a straight man, didn't care what he said about his sharp mouth, he just ignored this cunning and snobbish person.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu's appearance, Jianzui Xu stopped talking to him, but he didn't know if he scolded Zhang Xiaoyu in his heart for being ignorant, but he didn't dare to see that the inspector and Zhang Xiaoyu seemed to have a real relationship. Again.

The three of them walked forward in silence, walked out of the gate after a while, boarded a stretched luxury car, and headed into the distance.

Zhang Xiaoyu, who used to rely on two legs when going out, was riding in such a luxurious car for the first time.

He remembered his job at a gas station, and he naturally knew the value of this car alone. He would have to work in Wei's for at least a few decades before he could afford it.

Soon the three of them came to the five-star hotel that Weishi had booked.

Although Zhang Xiaoyu was amazed by the luxury of the hotel, he didn't want everyone to see his ignorant side, so he didn't ask much, didn't say much, and tried his best to pretend to be ordinary.

Zhang Xiaoyu followed Jian Zui Xu to a luxurious box, and when he entered, he found that it was already full of people, everyone was talking and laughing, when he saw three people coming in, he quickly got up to signal.

There happened to be three seats reserved during the banquet, and Zhang Xiaoyu found that his seat was arranged next to Inspector Wang.

He tried his best to evade, but he couldn't hold back the crowd, so he had no choice but to sit down.

Inspector Wang, as Wei's key entertainer this time, must be at the center of the crowd, but Zhang Xiaoyu was placed beside her, which was also eye-catching.

Zhang Xiaoyu felt that the position under his butt was hot, and he couldn't help but want to get up.

A hand quietly pressed on his thigh, stopping Zhang Xiaoyu who wanted to get up.

"Huh? It's her!"

"It's her hand!"

Zhang Xiaoyu panicked suddenly. He, who had never been touched by the opposite sex since he was a child, was suddenly pressed lightly on his thigh by a hand of the opposite sex.

He suddenly felt his heart beating faster, beating non-stop, as if it was about to pop out of his chest.

But he didn't dare to move around, worried that everyone at the banquet would notice something strange, so he could only sit upright without looking sideways, and endured hard.

Zhang Xiaoyu forced himself to be patient, and could even feel the little hand on his thigh through his underwear.

It's cold and soft.
