Chapter 1319 No.225: What you learn from books is always shallow

It's not the wine that makes you drunk, it's the people who make you drunk. This sentence has always been a personal portrayal of Ling.

As the incarnation of the Sui beast, she did not give up the essence of Sui like her elder brother, so her physique is naturally unique.

'The results of medical tests fluctuate and are not very rigorous.'

This quote from the Rhode Island Medical Department is one example.

There are so few kinds of wine in the world that can make her drunk, and she has almost never had the chance to touch them. The wine in her wine gourd is always either from ordinary wine shops or brewed by her younger sister using the crops she grows herself.

The latter was indeed extraordinary, but he couldn't intoxicate her.

But Ling did not pursue this path. She loved the drink and never sought a fainting that could end everything.

I simply love the taste, love the feeling of drawing water from the West River and sipping the essence of the Big Dipper, love the feast of eloquent speeches, love the scene of bells, drums and delicious food, and love the sound of drunken lamplight and long sad dreams even more.

Those were all her memories and her entire life.

Whenever I immerse myself in such a scene, whenever all those memories come to mind, I can express all my depression.

What's in her heart is her will, what's in her words is poetry, whenever she's inspired, whether it's writing a poem or composing music, she can do it effortlessly, and then she's called the drunken poet who "sings aloud when drunk, writes words with her tail, and her ink is dripping with meaning."

She was drunk, but not because of the wine. Instead, she was drunk because of the scenes that the wine brought to her mind.

She would immerse herself in it, as if she were drunk, and always gave people the impression that she was drunk as usual.

So Xi said frankly that the more drunk she was, the more sober she became, because every time she became intoxicated, her interest was aroused and her thoughts were aroused.

She looks like the internet joke that was popular some time ago, which says that people who play xx all year round usually have clear eyes, are extremely self-confident, and their IQ increases year by year, and finally they become complete geniuses - blah blah.

Xi has been playing a lot of online games recently, and she feels that alcohol is definitely a buff for her elder sister. Even when she seems drunk, she is much more sober than when she is not drinking.

On the contrary, when she started to consciously avoid drinking, she actually became drunk.

That meant she must be pondering over something.

That something was clearly too extraordinary for her to ignore, too difficult to brush off with her usual understatement of 'that's all'.

Whether she was feeling proud and satisfied, or feeling sad, it was undeniable that she was "bound" by it, and it was also a kind of intoxication that made everything go off the track.

But obviously, not all drunkenness brings joy.

Ling Lai's original intention of looking for Xi was to find this sister who seemed to be passive and escapist, but in fact had her own battlefield, and was even sharp-tongued and a little mean, to give him a shot of cold water to sober himself up from his drunkenness.

We should not hesitate any longer.

We should not continue to indulge in this.

If you always remain a bystander, you will ultimately just be a bystander.

If you are always tolerant, the ending may also be full of holes.

Ling has been watching Omer for too long these days. She sees him busy, struggling, and obviously in love with someone without knowing it. Her pure love is tainted by ulterior motives, and she lives in endless tension all day long. The originally fun life has gradually become boring.

Gradually, even the time left in dreams becomes less and less, as if even talking in dreams has become a burden.

This shouldn't be the case.

The relaxation and joy in the dream could not relieve such depression and heaviness.

can not be like this.

She didn't want to see the other person fall into this oppression which was more radical than frustration.

She should do something. When she thought about it, she also knew that given Omer's current situation, whether it was direct or indirect, it would affect the entire body.

Breaking all this may not be a good thing for him.

But if we continue like this, we will only face the predetermined future.

"I think you've made a mistake, Sister Ling."

“How come you see?”

'You are worried that the disruption will come from the outside, right? It will come from nowhere, disrupt his relationships, and bring unpredictable changes to his life.'

'…That's true.'

"Haha... I didn't expect that I was wrong."

'what? '

'Although my filter for your sister is not broken, I feel even more uncomfortable.'

"Hmm? Xiao Xi still has a lot on her mind, are you willing to share some?"

"In short, you have a typical war mentality, not the slightest bit of love!"

'Uh……'

"Omer's situation is similar to the current situation around the doctor. It should be full of intrigue, which is the style of palace fighting on the side of the real dragon, but you are thinking of the trouble of either making a feint to the east or advancing directly, right?"

'I really don't like that kind of intrigue, but go on.'

"If you don't like it, then don't do it. To be honest, I really think you have no experience in love now."

'Isn't this missing the point?'

"No deviation! The biggest problem at the moment is your brain circuit when leading troops to fight! You only think about what the result of your attack will be, and you never thought about letting him change himself, right?"

"You think it's unrealistic to expect Proton to become stronger when surrounded by heavy troops, so you haven't considered this direction at all, right?"

'…' 'This is not a war! Sister Ling, this is dealing with people, this is interpersonal communication! According to what you said, that guy is pushing himself to the edge, but is it possible that he is actually fully capable of handling these things? It's just that he himself is too stupid and never thought that he could do this? Why are you looking at me like that? '

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading, Xiao Xi, you also know how to interact with people?"

'What do you think I am? I have many friends online now!'

"…Netizens…"

'That's off topic! Anyway, you don't need to scheme, and you don't need to express your feelings to him. Just do it at the pace you want!'

'But you can only give him a push. According to what you said, that guy is probably struggling with the same problem as you, but he is probably struggling with whether he can make ends meet. After all, I always think that guy is a bad chess player.'

'He is always calculating and nitpicking.'

'Oh... I see what you mean then.'

"Okay, now that you understand, let's do it now! The sooner the better, speed is of the essence!"

'Then come back and drink!'

"I have received your order!!!"

Under the help of the interpersonal mentor Xi the painter, Ling almost disappeared on the spot, leaving the former stunned.

He actually did not need to travel in his mind but moved on his own.

Although the elder sister's daily behavior doesn't seem like she has a lover, she doesn't seem shy when talking about this topic. She doesn't have the charm of a romance comic at all, which also makes her filter remain intact.

Listening to her talk about her troubles in a marching and fighting style, Xi smiled with relief.

Apart from sighing in my heart that she is still the same, without the slightest change, I don't think about anything else.

If you remove the word "love" from this conversation, it just seems like an ordinary conversation between sisters.

Although it was unusual for the Sui family to have such an ordinary sisterly chat, it was not important. What was important was that Xi had no real feeling that her sister really liked that guy.

Only when she said in a light-hearted and humorous way, "I have received your order," before leaving, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot, did she finally feel some sense of reality.

I've never seen her care so much about anyone other than her brothers and sisters.

Will I soon have a brother-in-law? That guy? Uh…

Thinking about it carefully, I kind of regret coming up with this idea.

But he seems to be having a miserable life, so just help him... after all, he has written a script like that.

But thinking back, considering your sister's calm look, it probably won't be any faster.

The way of thinking that is influenced by everyone's lifespan is still too disadvantageous. Although I feel that if Sister Ling can survive, she can outlive the others, after all, there are not many humans who can truly adapt to immortality, and there will be some psychological alienation to a certain extent.

The negative impact on relationships is immeasurable.

But that also depends on whether Omar chooses immortality in the end.

Even though they look like a perfect match now, it's hard to say what will happen in the end... Before she withdrew from the world in the past, Xi had seen mountains and rivers, flowers and feathers in the forest, peddlers, old and young men and women. She had a good understanding of the power of time and would not make a hasty judgment.

Especially after I have changed my mindset twice, I have become more cautious.

So she actually doesn't think highly of your sister's "first love".

Whether it's the man's condition or the woman's personality, it's destined that this will probably be a long and arduous process.

But it doesn’t matter, right?

Xi didn't think that any of her brothers and sisters would pursue such a passionate love as that of mortals, and looking at her sister's reaction throughout this conversation, it was not surprising.

In this situation, the best outcome is unlikely to be to stay together forever. It is more likely that they will live their own lives and meet each other occasionally.

Even humans themselves would say that love is not necessary in life. It is hard for Xi to imagine that brothers and sisters who have their own interests and paths would delay their journey for their significant other.

So after Ling left, she just briefly recalled and sorted out her actions, immersed in the achievement of "I actually have a chance to enlighten my elder sister!", and then she had to go back to work.

——The list hasn’t been drawn yet.

Let elder sister deal with her own business. It is more important for me to draw congratulatory pictures for Arima Memorial and Dream Cup first... When she thought so, she came back from taking a bath and prepared to face the big wheel of gambling with perspective, shadow, human body, clothing wrinkles and hair direction.

She suddenly felt a familiar breath, and when she turned around, she saw her sister standing by the door.

"You're back so soon? Did everything go well?"

"evening."

"Ok?"

"I...let it slip."

"what?"

Jiangnan was also the first place Ling stayed before going to the frontier. He stayed there for a long time, and when he saw the flowing water under the small bridges and the passing of time, he felt lost.
