Cultivation Department Shura Field

Chapter 72 Poignantly

Towards the end of the movie, the charm was replaced by tragedy and pathos.

Especially when the male protagonist Jack was slowly sinking in the ice water, Xu Zhe heard, in addition to the sounds from the TV, there were sobbing beside him.

Turning around, he saw that, sure enough, both Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye were crying.

Tang Lingfei stared blankly at the big TV, her eyes were red, but the tears were still in her eyes and did not flow down.

Song Xingye could no longer hold back her tears.She kept wiping her hands, but she couldn't wipe away the tears, and she looked even more embarrassed.At first glance, it looked like she was rubbing tears from her eyes.

Xu Zhe looked around and found a pack of tissues.He took it and opened the package, took out a handful of tissues, and handed it to the birthday girl closest to him.

Tang Lingfei glared at him: "What are you doing?"

The girl didn't want to admit that she cried while watching a movie, but she really needed the tissue handed to her, because as long as she blinked again, she couldn't hold back the tears.

So she grabbed the tissues and covered her face.Not only were the tears wiped away, but she also blew her nose.

Xu Zhe took out a few more tissues, stood up, and walked around to Song Xingye.

The girl seemed to be completely immersed in the movie and didn't even notice that there was another person next to her.It wasn't until those tissues appeared in front of her that she was stunned for a moment and looked up to see Xu Zhe.

"thanks……"

Song Xingye took the tissues with his left hand and one in his right hand, wiping the tears on his face.

Xu Zhe returned to his original position and as soon as he sat down, he saw the last scene of the movie.The old heroine threw the Heart of the Ocean into the sea, and then the camera moved to the Titanic ship...

The movie ended and the big TV went dark.

Tang Lingfei cried and complained: "Why is this happening? Can't everyone survive..."

Xu Zhe: "Tragedy is to break beautiful things to you, but also to capture the beauty from the process of breaking, so that it will be impressive."

Tang Lingfei asked subconsciously: "Why is it so profound?"

Xu Zhe: "If the ending of this movie is a happy ending, let alone the historical Titanic, let's talk about this story. If all the main characters survive, especially the male protagonist and the female protagonist, the two of them live happily in the end. Together. What do you think your reaction will be?"

Tang Lingfei: "Of course I'm very happy."

Xu Zhe: "Yes, but you can only be happy for a short time. But when the hero dies and there is only one heroine left, the emotions it can express become particularly strong. What you can't get is what you want most. After you watch this tragedy, you will cry and shed tears, and it will leave a particularly deep impression on your little mind. In this way, the director's goal is achieved."

Song Xingye suddenly asked: "Then do you prefer tragedy?"

Xu Zhe shook his head: "In general. And I don't like to be immersed in tragedy, or in any kind of negative emotions. I would rather find something fun to make myself happy."

Tang Lingfei muttered: "Me too, but this movie... is really good."

Xu Zhe: "Of course I think this is a good movie, but have you seen me cry? That is, if you have felt it...well, forget it."

What he wants to say is 'If you have ever experienced truly intense, inescapable pain, you will understand that hope and happiness are the most important things'.However, it was impossible to tell anyone about my previous life, so there was nothing to talk about at this moment.

But Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye just watched and stared at the young man who suddenly fell silent.They found that there was an indescribable look in the young man's eyes.

Like a sparkling gem, even if it falls on the deepest seabed, it still shines unyieldingly.Once such a gem is taken out of the water, it will immediately become dazzling.

Xu Zhe blinked and said with a smile: "Okay, it's almost time to have dinner. Do you have any plans for the birthday girl?" Tang Lingfei opened her mouth slightly and subconsciously wanted to say, 'Of course you will do it.'But before the words left her mouth, she changed her mind.

Even she herself couldn't explain why she said this next.

"Let's go have a big dinner, I'll treat you!"

----

What junior high school kids think of as a big meal these days will be very ordinary in the eyes of adults more than ten years later.But Xu Zhe was not picky. Instead, he followed Tang Lingfei into the Western restaurant on the street, sat down, and ordered.

He ordered a pasta dish, almost the cheapest kind.

Tang Lingfei asked: "Why don't you want steak?"

Xu Zhe handed the menu to Song Xingye and smiled without saying a word.He just felt that the steak in this store might not be as good as frying it himself, so it was really pointless.

After the two girls also finished ordering, the waiter turned and left.They started chatting again.

Xu Zhe asked: "Can your wallet really support this invitation to a Western dinner?"

Tang Lingfei snorted and raised her pretty chin high: "I collected a lot of New Year's money! Although my parents will take more than half of it, I won't let me take too much out with the rest, but I only treat you once There must be no problem.”

Xu Zhe: "Interesting, your parents didn't take the New Year's money you received, but they still let you spend it yourself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xingye on the other side said: "I spend the New Year's money on my own. My dad doesn't care about me, but my mom often asks me not to spend it too fast..."

"what?"

Xu Zhe was stunned.

Tang Lingfei asked: "Can't you use your New Year's money for yourself?"

Xu Zhe: "This is outrageous. How old are you? You are allowed to spend so much money!"

Tang Lingfei: "I said they would supervise it. You can't take out this money casually. Just like me, it's my birthday today, so I was allowed to spend a little more. My usual pocket money is only every month... Let me think about it, on average it’s about 100 yuan?”

Xu Zhe: "100 yuan of pocket money every month?"

Song Xingye also said: "My monthly pocket money is two to three hundred. Hey, don't you have it?"

Xu Zhe chuckled: "Yes, they are all in single digits. The most I have spent in the past six months is not pocket money. I earned it all by writing code."

Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei stared at him with complicated expressions.It was a look that was a mixture of admiration and sympathy.

"So you have so little pocket money..." Song Xingye murmured.

Tang Lingfei said: "I know you have very little pocket money, but has all the previous New Year's money been taken away?"

Xu Zhe sighed: "I finally understand, this is a man who is poor and a woman who is rich."

He felt that this kind of parenting style was very bad.If a boy who has been raised poor since childhood meets an older sister who is willing to spend money for him, wouldn't he be about to fall into ruin in a matter of minutes?
But then he thought about it and he wanted to laugh again.A big sister who is willing to spend money on a little boy?Hehe, this is not a science fiction movie.
