my dream space

Chapter 52

中午12：15放学，傍晚18：30上晚自习，中间的时间约有6个小时。

Both KEC and the noodle shop are on the main street, while the consultant lives in the direction of Jianguo Road. The geographical location of the two is completely opposite, and the journey will be delayed for half an hour. It is also the bus rush hour at noon, so it is not easy to get on the bus.

Although western restaurants can be seen everywhere, the serving of western food is quite slow, so it is not within the scope of Ji Xiaoxuan's consideration.

Although she really wanted to invite Xia Kun to dinner, she didn't want to waste time chatting and riding in the car. She had other things to do later.

It seems that Xia Kun can't be expected to come up with any good ideas.

Xia Kun didn't think much about it. He had so much time that he could just waste it now.

But since you don't think anything I say is appropriate, I'll wait for you to mention it, anyway, you are the one who wants to invite me to dinner.

So the two sat on the bus with their heads sullen, ignoring each other, and sat on Jianguo Road.

"Let's see what to eat along the way. It will also save time."

"it is good."

Xia Kun led Ji Xiaoxuan and walked towards Dr. Su's house for a while. Ji Xiaoxuan saw a restaurant on the side of the road and called Xia Kun to stop.

"Just eat here."

"Braised chicken?"

"You don't like it?"

"No, I didn't expect you to like eating this."

"It doesn't count."

Seeing the signboard of this braised chicken restaurant, Xia Kun immediately recognized that this was the braised chicken and rice takeaway that Mengjie often ordered.

It's only a few hundred meters away, but Sister Meng doesn't even bother to come and buy it by herself. What kind of decadent adults would do this?
Never become such an adult in the future.

While Xia Kun was surprised, a large portion of braised chicken with nothing added that Ji Xiaoxuan ordered was also served on the table.

"Eat."

"Ah."

Xia Kun was so hungry, he picked up the chopsticks to eat chicken, and quickly finished a bowl; but Ji Xiaoxuan just picked up two pieces of braised chicken, and stopped moving after a few mouthfuls.

"You don't want to eat now?" Xia Kun, who was about to add food, felt very embarrassed.

Ji Xiaoxuan nodded, "I can only eat so much."

"Is this always the case?" Xia Kun remembered that she ate very little bread.

But this time Ji Xiaoxuan denied it, but she did not explain the reason in detail, "You continue to eat, and I will watch you eat."

Xia Kun wasn't polite to her either, and got up to get some food.Ji Xiaoxuan looked at Xia Kun eating braised chicken with his chin in his hands, and suddenly asked, "What's the difference between eating in a dream and eating in reality?"

"There's no difference. Maybe the one in the dream tastes better."

"really envy you."

Xia Kun put down his chopsticks, took out two pieces of toilet paper and wiped his mouth, "Just eating in my dream, there's one thing that's not good about it."

"What's wrong?"

"No one talks, and it's very lonely to eat."

"So that's it..." Ji Xiaoxuan nodded, his tone seemed to soften a little, "I thought - you are a person who can tolerate loneliness very well."

"Humans are social animals after all, no one can live alone."

"Are you insinuating me?" Miss Ji raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Hmm...is that right?" Xia Kun said frankly, "Squad leader, your personality is too withdrawn, how about making a friend or two? Then you won't be as lonely as you are now."

"Do I look lonely?"

Xia Kun nodded, "Look at you, you are pretending to be worried, but you don't even have anyone to talk to."

"I don't want to dump emotional garbage on other people."

"Talking to others means trusting the other party. Hearing what you say, the other party will have a better impression of you." Talk about some life principles and pour some chicken soup, who can't do it?This is an essential skill for Chinese writing.

But Xia Kun and Ji Xiaoxuan are both academic masters who can talk on paper. It's not impossible for them to talk freely, but they are like chickens when it comes to actual combat.

"But the other party has also mastered your inner weakness. I don't like being controlled by others."

Xia Kun was still arguing with Ji Xiaoxuan, but now he nodded suddenly after hearing her words, "You're right, indeed... I don't like it either."

The two of them bowed their heads in silence for a while, and Ji Xiaoxuan recalled the scene of arguing with Xia Kun when they discussed the solution to eliminate the rumors.

"After eating, shall we go to Sister Meng's now?"

"Not going yet." Ji Xiaoxuan looked a little lonely.She rolled up the loose hair hanging around her ear, "Would you like to chat with me again?"

"also."

Ji Xiaoxuan and Xia Kun walked on a long slope, which was very steep and windy, and the trees on both sides of the road were dry and lifeless.

"Xia Kun, should we play a game?"

"what game?"

Ji Xiaoxuan turned around and looked back at Xia Kun with his hands behind his back. "I allow you to ask three questions. As long as the questions are reasonable and not vexing, I will answer them truthfully. After asking these three questions, you have to guess my troubles." What exactly is it."

"Okay, come on."

Ji Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, "You don't even ask, is there any reward for guessing correctly?"

"I prefer the process of logical reasoning, that's all." Xia Kun replied, "It doesn't matter what the reward is."

Ji Xiaoxuan nodded and smiled, "It's time to start."

Ji Xiaoxuan kept walking backwards slowly, while Xia Kun walked forward slowly with his head down.

"The first question...is there anyone the monitor likes now?"

Ji Xiaoxuan was stunned immediately, "What does this have to do with my troubles—"

Does he think that I will be troubled because I am in love?

Then he must have underestimated me...

"Is this question unreasonable? Let me think of another—"

"No need," Ji Xiaoxuan shook his head, "If you mean my personal opinion, then I will answer no."

Xia Kun nodded.

"The second question, the monitor thinks, do you have friends by your side?"

Ji Xiaoxuan shook his head, "In my personal opinion, there should be no."

These two questions were asked in a nonchalant way. It seemed that he couldn't figure out what was bothering me...

The third question was that Xia Kun was stuck in a long exam. Ji Xiaoxuan quietly watched Xia Kun think about it and watched him raise his head.

"I've thought about it, one last question."

"Say."

"A while ago, the squad leader always borrowed my spinning top ornament to take a nap, but every time you have to be by my side, you can sleep peacefully, right?"

"So... from the monitor's point of view, which proposition is the necessary and sufficient condition for you to sleep peacefully? The spinning top pendant? Is it me? Or...you want the spinning top pendant to add me?"

The so-called necessary and sufficient conditions refer to the necessary and sufficient conditions, that is, if the proposition P occurs, the proposition Q must be derived, and vice versa.

We regard the three conditions mentioned by Xia Kun as proposition P1, proposition P2, and proposition P3 respectively, and [Ji Xiaoxuan can sleep peacefully] as proposition Q.

The essence of Xia Kun's problem now is to let Ji Xiaoxuan choose a proposition among P1, P2, and P3, which becomes a sufficient and necessary condition for Q.

Such a question was unexpected for Ji Xiaoxuan - she knew the answer to this question very well, but her character did not allow her to lie casually.

Ji Xiaoxuan pursed her lips tightly, the biting cold wind messed up her black hair standing in the wind, under Xia Kun's eager gaze, she opened her mouth softly,
"Proposition 2... is Proposition 2," Ji Xiaoxuan replied, "the spinning top ornament is just an excuse."

"Really? That's very strange." Xia Kun frowned, "I feel that proposition 2 is a false proposition."

"What's weird?"

"There are many things that are very strange - for example, you said before that the first time you were instantly hypnotized was because of the top pendant, right? Then how did the effect of the hypnotic props transfer to me later?"

"Look... Squad leader, you neither regard me as a friend nor secretly like me, but you can sleep peacefully because of my existence... My position in your heart should be insignificant, so why would it affect you?" to your sleep?"

"This is the fourth question, and I refuse to answer." Ji Xiaoxuan rolled up his wind-blown temples, and his narrow eyes unconsciously wandered towards the dead trees on the street.

It wasn't sleep she was missing.

To realize [self-hypnosis], even if you are prone to hypnosis, you must first focus all your attention on the spinning top.

The squad leader put aside these nagging little thoughts and looked up at Xia Kun, "The number is up, now you have to guess my [annoying things]."

"Well... Let me think about it. Since your troubles have nothing to do with me, it should be because of grandma, right? Don't hit me if you guess wrong."

Xia Kun's tone was a little tentative, as if he was a little uncertain—but his expression made people feel unreal, as if he had a shallow smile that everything was under control, which made people I think his tone is just a disguise.

But that's okay.

Already...it doesn't matter.

It was like a diver who could only look up at the surface of the sea from the deep sea, and was suddenly pulled up by a hand as he gradually sank to the bottom.

Miss Ji stood at the end of the ramp in a condescending posture, her long and narrow phoenix eyes silently watching Xia Kun at the bottom of the ramp.

"You guessed it right." Ji Xiaoxuan nodded, a gentle smile gradually appeared on his face.

In her gentle smile, there was a little bit of helplessness, a little bit of bitterness, and a little bit of loneliness—but after mixing it together, her smile was full of a sense of recognition and expectation, which she never had before. Expressions that have been shown to other people.
