Chapter 1323 No.229: Mother-in-law may be late, but she will never be absent
In fact, while inferring effects from causes is a commendable ability, tracing causes from effects is a more mercenary pursuit.

Quantifiable behaviors are certainly important indicators of peace of mind, but the direction of the indicator is not limited to peace of mind, especially when it involves oneself.

Due to her reliance on her comfort zone, Omer wanted to treat Ling's behavior as a joke, just as her own ambiguity and indifferent stance seemed to be providing such a way out.

but……

It was not the first time that Omar noticed the abnormality of the order.

Not to mention the conversation in front of the balcony that day, the so-called silence in these days alone has caused him to wonder several times.

The strange attitudes that Shu and Xi Zeng showed on the topic of Ling made him confused for a while.

And Chazuo once talked about the fact that Jing waited for him but never got the chance, and he was once surprised that the other party had never mentioned the silence.

At those times, he was puzzled and could only temporarily find plausible excuses to deal with it, such as he was not particularly familiar with the incarnations of the Year Beast, or that this person was a good drinker, a good person, and had good manners in dealing with the world.

Therefore, he had thought about finding a few bottles of good wine as a gift for Ling when he was not busy. He also wondered whether she could accept the influence of the Soul Spirit Liqueur series in the Demon Realm. In Omar's opinion, the gift for the time traveler must naturally have the most representative characteristics of this world, and this wine was the type that he had seen highly praised in the time traveler forum.

However, because the brewing process itself requires the use of the remnant souls of beasts, it is also resisted by some groups. Whether to do it or not depends on whether he can test the other party's acceptance capacity.

But obviously, before that time comes, he will have to face the so-called joke.

Could that be a joke?

Looking back on the past, I recall all the points that were worth noting.

Many of those explanations that were far-fetched to begin with and were actually just used to suppress curiosity and wait for later overturning have now been given a more reasonable motive.

But...is it really reasonable?
All night long, Omar couldn't close his eyes and had trouble falling asleep.

Although he could have used forceful methods such as source interference to force him to fall asleep, he did not.

He was just using his brain over and over again.

There is no reliance on Gilbaris's computing power as a mental exoskeleton.

That excess computing power is always useful for network searches and data mining, but it is of no help in finding rational thinking.

There is even a risk of overshadowing one's own logical calculations.

So he just relied on the ten minutes he spent at the hospital that morning to replace the new chip, and his own brain power to repeatedly trace back and review, filling in the most incredible motivation to verify everything.

And at the same time, deduce the rationality of the motive itself.

No one knew how he deduced it, and even he himself hesitated more than once about what he was doing.

The computational model of so-called liking and love has never appeared in the world. There are only various external feedbacks based on hormones.

But reactions such as blushing, slurred speech, winking, and wandering vision are neither unique nor inevitable.

There are plenty of people who misunderstand it, plenty of people who ignore it, and plenty of people who coincidentally follow it and easily turn it into confidence, and then face the miserable defeat of the day in that confidence. The various results are of course too numerous to list.

The emotion that had never been placed in a precision instrument, nor magnified and analyzed by a lens, only existed in the field of source energy with extremely diverse judgment criteria. Under such criteria, the presence of two people at the same time was also a rigid requirement.

Ultimately, there is no certainty.

But one thing that cannot be ignored is that once you acknowledge the existence of the fundamental motivation, all past doubts will be answered.

In the formal reasoning of the case, at this point you can already confront the parties involved. Even if another reason suddenly pops up that can explain everything, it doesn’t matter because you are already infinitely close to the truth.

Maybe we should talk to each other again...

Or maybe I should explain this to Qian and Chena first...

Or maybe... I should just pretend that nothing happened... Omer thought a lot at that time, because he couldn't come to a final conclusion after pushing the issue back and forth. He could not be sure of the authenticity of the joke, and it was difficult for him to specifically tell his two girlfriends based on an uncertain joke.

Jokes should probably be treated as they should be, and Omar had considered bringing up the matter in a casual tone during breakfast conversation, letting the two of them replace his brain, which was exhausted by all the deductions.

As a woman, she may have insights that I don't have. Working in the same company, even if she just borrows a step to talk to me, she may be more relaxed than me.

But Ling is his friend, not a suspect in the case at hand.

As for the suspect, he doesn't need to care about how the other party will view him in the future, and he can be brave enough to hypothetically question and verify everything at this step.

But for friends, for friends who have helped me relieve my fatigue many times, that rash step may very likely turn into a rift in all friendships.

It extended from between the two of them to Chongyue, Shu, Xi and others.

At this step, it makes no difference even if you use your girlfriend's mouth.

Even though it was the other party who started it all, and it was that slightly over-the-line move that caused the current trouble, he was not the overbearing president who would say things like, "You took the initiative first, so even if it was a misunderstanding, it's your fault."

The unfinished work forced him to put the matter aside for the time being, until Xi's avatar jumped and made his breath stop.

People who have something to hide cannot remain calm about any disturbance, especially when the disturbance is very tangible.

But it was just a slight movement after all. In the end, Xi did not give him any information worthy of his attention. But the fact that she woke up and sent a message like this was also a proof.

This proof, together with the words at the tea table, created a subtext that the situation over there was also unusual, which seemed to increase the original doubts by several percentage points.

How about contacting him directly? Looking at the screen, he considered this plan again.

If we make it clear in advance and ask for forgiveness if there is any misunderstanding, can we reduce the risk of a friendship breakdown?
To truly admit that he has a friendship, it was only during this period of time this year that he began to reap the rewards one after another. Omer Linton is not confident about this issue.

He has seen positive cases and negative results, but those results are determined not only by actions, but also by the personalities of both parties and the depth of their friendship.

As for the latter, Omer didn't feel he saw it clearly.

Because only at this time did he realize that he could not define his friendship with Ling.

Is it deep or shallow, cooked or bland?
Is the relationship of drinking and chatting together, dreaming and chatting and swimming together normal or special to her?
He suddenly realized that he had very little information about "Ling's interactions with other people", although this was largely due to his busy schedule and Ling's solo activities. Only later did they have a small teahouse.

But the fact is that, and those dreams that he can't remember, make him wonder if there are key defining points hidden in them.

These unknowns gave him new doubts.

A demon who was born with very little, the only time he experienced having something and then losing it was the physical death of his adoptive father.

It seems like I have accepted it for a long time, but the scab in my heart has never fallen off.

The shock of suddenly gaining too many friendships in a few months did not make him indifferent to the possibility of losing friendships. He was still the young man who thought, "The dead cannot be changed, I want to see the living." As long as the dust has not settled, he wants to come to a perfect conclusion.

This alternative perfectionism is actually a self-defeating thing, making him extremely uneasy and having difficulty moving forward. However, he still has the crutches called "training" and "work", which give him a sense of stability that comes from the "switch" and the "comfort zone".

He thought the matter could be put aside until after school.

Everything can be discussed with Qian and Chena when I get home to cook in the evening. For the time being, I still need to let my girlfriends know and listen to their opinions - but at this moment, the tea house sent a message.

[Deep Coffee: Is the trainer's insomnia caused by your sister? ]

"..."

From a distance, those dark golden eyes were looking at him.

For Omer, who doesn't have the Eye of Ultra but has the Eye of Snake, the doubt in his eyes was not obscure, but made him suddenly realize:

Compared to Chena, who is in the same company headquarters as him, Chazuo is the best person to knock on Ling's side for him.
