Cheng Mo entered the room and mixed two more glasses of gin and tonic. When he returned to the balcony, Bai Xiuxiu returned to the lazy sitting posture, lying on the sofa, like a cat lying on the window sill basking in the sun on an autumn afternoon. With her eyelids closed, the cool river breeze blows, and the invisible wind swayed the strands of hair on her forehead. The graceful melon-seeded face looks as natural as a chiseled knife, and the blue dragonfly coils along the The undulating body line went down until the hem of the dark blue cheongsam hung down to the knees and stopped abruptly.

Cheng Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances at the white and round calf and the slender feet painted with red Kodan, and silently put the gin and tonic in front of Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu naturally noticed Cheng Mo's erratic gaze, got up and pulled off the thin blanket placed on the armrest of the sofa, covered her body, hid her delicate feet, and said lightly: "Cheng Mo, you You are playing with fire, some things are enough to be done once, and some words are enough to be said once, don’t waste my goodwill towards you.”

Cheng Mo heard that Bai Xiuxiu was not joking, compared to kicking him directly in Chang'an last time, it is obvious that Bai Xiuxiu is really angry this time, Cheng Mo is not in a panic, it is not necessarily a bad thing for a woman to be angry, assuming she is angry with you No idea, but worse.

Cheng Mo held his cup and sat on the single-seat sofa as if nothing had happened, looked at the flowers blooming around the balcony, and said, "Miss Bai, people often say that women are just like flowers, no matter how beautiful they are, They all need to be appreciated. I don't think there is anything wrong with me admiring you!"

Bai Xiuxiu sneered and said, "I don't need your appreciation, what you should show is respect for me."

Cheng Mo nodded, "I know that in your eyes, I'm just a little virgin who hasn't graduated from high school yet, and a kid who is far away from becoming the Chosen One. A child like me should be in your care as a matter of course." Showing humility and respect in front of you, and actually being able to call a big man like you "Sister Bai" is already your favor."

"You still have self-knowledge." Bai Xiuxiu said lightly.

Cheng Mo smiled, took a big sip of gin and tonic, and said in a calm tone: "As you said, maybe I can't reach the realm of seeing people's hearts, but I still know how I should behave. It's just that most of the time, I don't want to please."

"Cheng Mo, don't tell me that I am a person who minds lying. Even if you want to be an honest person, you should know that in our current world, there is its own logic of operation. Your 'honesty', the essence It is presumptuous and heartless, but also arrogance."

"I know, I understand, the reason why I am dishonest is because many people are not worthy of my honesty, but I want to maintain a kind of purity in front of you. To be honest, I can be hypocritical in front of you. Is a simple child, and then turned around and vented his emotions towards you in high school"

Bai Xiuxiu straightened up, sat cross-legged, and interrupted Cheng Mo with a bone-chilling voice, "Are you threatening me?"

Cheng Mo was silent for a while, and suddenly said something wrong: "Schopenhauer said, 'Women always like flowers, but they don't know that they are the living organs of plants'."

"Why, are you trying to ridicule women for their ignorance? They are only suitable for reproductive tools like flowers?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "Although flowers are indeed the reproductive organs of plants, the history of humans and flowers can be traced back to a certain summer 11700 years ago. There was a group of Neanderthals living in the Fertile Crescent. Among them Unfortunately, a few died unexpectedly. While death might have been considered an accident in ancient times—this time, the living Neanderthals decided to bury them in a more solemn way: they built A tomb, and then collected many beautiful and fragrant wild flowers, including mint, mallow, cornflower, grape hyacinth, etc., and spread these flowers around the body of the deceased.”

Bai Xiuxiu didn't expect Cheng Mo's thinking to be so unconstrained and unconstrained. He actually talked about the history of flowers in a leisurely tone 700 years ago. Let Chengmo control the rhythm and talk freely.

But Cheng Mo's voice and what he said had an inexplicable allure that made her want to listen to it.

"Humanity's preference for flowers is persistent. In the records of various ancient civilizations, flowers have never been absent (empty) - you have been to the ruins of ancient Babylon, and you must know that one of the seven wonders of the world is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon It is a gift from Nebuchadnezzar of the Kingdom of Babylon to Princess Amedith; you have been to the remains of the pyramids, and you must know that the murals of ancient Egypt depict the silhouettes of people holding flowers again and again; I don’t know if you have seen it Are there any ancient Greek myths and epics? There are always poets and warriors who are crowned by flowers, or girls who are led astray by flowers, yes, I am referring to Europa who was seduced by Zeus; and in China, flowers There are too many poems about beauty, and the earliest "Book of Songs" left a sentence of "Victors and women, Yiqi flirts with each other, and gives them a spoon of medicine". Everything shows that flowers are closely related to human beings. destiny."

Cheng Mo's voice is slow and leisurely, perfectly echoing the music playing on the phonograph. Hallucinogenic notes floated out from the record player. This kind of simple and monotonous accompaniment belongs to the 80s. At that time The rhythm of the music is very slow, probably because the rhythm of life is also very slow, unlike today's time is running fast, the rhythm of music is getting faster and faster.

Cheng Mo's plain voice is embedded in it, making the music a perfect BGM. Bai Xiuxiu looked at Cheng Mo's calm expression, and his eyes were fixed on her, as if he was saying something irrelevant. Bai Xiuxiu couldn't guess What Cheng Mo wanted to say, this feeling of losing control made her a little uncomfortable, she couldn't help but said blankly when Cheng Mo stopped talking: "Flowers are not precious objects, Women also like gold, diamonds, and agate. All beautiful and shining things can be used as gifts. Compared with flowers, most women may prefer those precious jewelry.”

"It seems that flowers are not so precious now, but this is a misunderstanding. You must know that in ancient times, flowers were often enjoyed by the nobles and the ruling class. The garden of flowers is precious, even now, isn’t it so? Compared with those jewels and jades that can be preserved for a long time, flowers are closer to beauties, because like beauties, they are difficult to preserve, easy to wither, and need careful care to grow longer Flowering, but no matter how you take care of it, it will wither after all.”

Although Bai Xiuxiu felt that Cheng Mo was saying that she was young and needed to find a flower protector, but her intuition told her that Cheng Mo would not be so superficial after making such a big circle, so she suppressed her desire to be sarcastic. Mo's thoughts were just to look at Cheng Mo with the corners of his mouth slightly tilted, and looked at Cheng Mo with a contemptuous look, expressing clearly: I think you can say what "flower" means.
Cheng Mo was unmoved, and continued calmly: "It seems that the flowers in the flower shop are just to satisfy people's visual consumption, but now more and more scientific studies have pointed out that these beautiful plant genitalia The joy of coming is real. After conducting a series of related experiments, Dr. Nancy Etcoff of Harvard Medical School concluded that placing flowers in the living room can affect the mental state of the human body. It brings obvious and visible positive effects, and the act of receiving flowers will also fully stimulate people's inner joy and happiness. This medical doctor also wrote a very famous and interesting book called "Survival of the Pretty" .”

"Not only Nancy Itkoff, but also an experiment initiated by Jeannette Haviland-Jones, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University, and her wife, biologist Terry McGuire, also got the same conclusion. Professor Jones collected people The facial expressions when receiving the gifts were randomly recorded and professionally analyzed, but the result was even surprising to Jeannette herself. Almost all the people who received the flowers showed the iconic 'Duchny Smile'-true A heartfelt smile of joy that is not necessarily so in the recipients of other gifts. Clearly this is not just because people have been trained by social conventions to prefer flowers."

Speaking of this, Cheng Mo suddenly stood up, walked aside under Bai Xiuxiu's suspicious eyes, selected a white rose among several flower beds, picked a white rose with perfect flower shape, and walked slowly In front of Bai Xiuxiu, she said softly: "The modern custom of sending flowers was born in Europe in the [-]th century. At that time, it was considered impolite to express feelings publicly. Therefore, the 'language of flowers' to express feelings was born in the Victorian era. Poets would Pick a flower, match it with a beautiful container, and put your own poems in it, implicitly expressing your love for the person you like” (the flower language of rose is happiness, glory and long-lasting beauty, while the flower language of white rose is still has a pure meaning)
"I used to think that the act of sending flowers was meaningless, but now I feel that sending flowers is indeed one of the most important links in human social life, whether it is the polishing of time or scientific and rigorous analysis. Even if time goes by, Over time, this kind of behavior will not be replaced, because it always represents the nature of human beings—the yearning for beauty, the sustenance of feelings, the love for cherished things, the nostalgia for fleeting time, and the longing for a group of long-term friends. The sympathy and sympathy of our co-existing beings"

"The relationship between flowers and humans inspired me. Maybe we and the animals and plants around us have really been in some form of co-evolution. From acknowledging the existence of flowers, we gradually like them, cherish them, and create more for them. Good living conditions, after 1 years, so they also give us something in return: for example, make us happy'."

Cheng Mo inserted the white roses above Bai Xiuxiu's pink and jade-carved ears, "Sister Xiuxiu, liking you makes me feel happy for no reason, so I want you to know. That's all"

At this moment, both of them were breathing a little bit heavily. Cheng Mo felt Bai Xiuxiu's curvaceous body moved a little closer to him, and Bai Xiuxiu's forehead was even close to his chest. The light floral fragrance felt the slight trembling of Bai Xiuxiu's body.

Cheng Mo's heart beat faster and faster, and the voice of "hug her" in his head became louder and louder, like a tsunami coming unscrupulously, Cheng Mo's shoulders and hands also trembled, as if the only way to hug the girl in front of him was to hug her. The perfect body can only end.

At this moment, several bunches of fireworks shot up from the top of Juzizhou Island, and the sharp whistling sounded like a long moan, and then the bright and huge flowers burst into the dark blue sky, embellishing the monotonous and silent Star City night sky.
Cheng Mo didn't turn his head to look at those fireworks, but heard Bai Xiuxiu chuckle, and then chanted in a playful tone: "Happy birthday, Cheng Mo! These fireworks are a gift from Xie Minyun!"

Cheng Mo's heart also exploded with the sound of fireworks bursting, but his brain is clearer. If he quits now, then the relationship between him and Bai Xiuxiu will end here, and all the efforts he made before will be in vain. Cheng Mo clearly knows how to choose. Love is still a luxury for him.

He reached out and hooked Bai Xiuxiu's chin, lifted her pretty face slightly, and lowered his head to meet Bai Xiuxiu's dark eyes.

"Bai Xiuxiu dare to make a bet with me?"

Bai Xiuxiu didn't move her chin away from Cheng Mo's hand, she put her hand on her knee, she didn't move, she didn't seem to intend to push Cheng Mo away, she just squinted her eyes, and said flatly: "Say! "

Cheng Mo held Bai Xiuxiu's chin and leaned over, whispering in her ear: "If I can help you destroy the Black Death, let me fuck you"

Originally, Cheng Mo could say this sentence in countless euphemistic or literary ways, but when he said the vulgar word "**" again, Cheng Mo felt an inexplicable pleasure erupting in his heart, and the pleasure was as sudden as Like an electric current, it ran through his whole body, arousing a throbbing that made his soul tremble.
The fireworks in the night sky are still lighting up the chaotic late autumn one after another. The bunches are more colorful than the stars, and they set off Bai Xiuxiu's side face extremely brightly. She closed her eyes and replied in a soft voice. :"OK!"

"If you can, I'll wait for you."

"Waiting for you to fuck."
