Chapter 331 - 331 11 What Should Be Done Now_2

331: Chapter 11 What Should Be Done Now?_2 331: Chapter 11 What Should Be Done Now?_2 Zhao Hongjin nodded dazedly, not understanding CEO Cheng’s meaning.

“Bro, I just nudged you, and now you’re blaming me like this?”

“Look at what’s beneath your body, you’re lying on the beach!”

Plus, you don’t seem to have reached the age threshold to enter this industry.

“You’re so brazen in your accusation; it’s a bit presumptuous.”

Seeing Zhao Hongjin nod, CEO Cheng organized his thoughts about the origin and development of the event and fell silent for a moment before speaking.

“Let me make it clear, I’m a gentleman, but there are some things I can’t control.

The human nervous system has a lot of spontaneous nerve activity, so please, don’t misunderstand me.

Then, now turn your head and look.”

CEO Cheng’s concern wasn’t insufficient, he truly respected his friend Zhao Hongjin.

He might play around, but he never crossed the line with any vulgar jokes.

Even when the bewitching temptress Temir was on fierce attack, CEO Cheng held back!

Gentleman Cheng Daqi wasn’t just a joke, it was a fact!

As Cheng Daqi’s heartbeat fluttered, Zhao Hongjin turned around, puzzled.

She saw many people taking photos on the beach, and the blue sea was as dreamy and beautiful as ever.

A short distance from them was a beachside shop, made from an old camper, a mobile souvenir shop crowded with people buying things.

Everything was normal, quite unremarkable.

“There’s nothing?

Can I get up now?” the girl with peach blossom eyes asked.

CEO Cheng had said a lot of confusing things and then asked her to turn her head.

Zhao Hongjin was a bit baffled.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Daqi spoke with bitterness.

“Stay in this direction, now look down.”

“Ah?

This!

You?”

“Don’t move, if you get up, I’ll be socially dead…”

“Bro, I can’t take this blame, I’m only nineteen this year, still a girl who doesn’t understand anything; please let me go.”

“Zhao, first of all, we shouldn’t discriminate against women, and I didn’t plan to do anything to you, okay?”

“Ah?

It’s all, it’s all…

Daqi, to be honest, I’m dying of embarrassment.”

“I want to die too, but I really can’t control it.”

“God, is that what you meant by the nervous system thing?”

“Sister, turn your head first.

You looking at it isn’t helping it subside.”

Zhao Hongjin turned her head as if waking from a dream, so fast that it left her a bit dizzy.

They reverted to a tense staring match.

A silence fell again, this time even more oppressive.

The recent scene had imprinted itself deeply in Zhao Hongjin’s mind, and now she truly wanted to die of embarrassment.

“Ah Zhao, you have to believe me, I didn’t do it on purpose, nor did I mean to offend you.

After all, it was your impulsive push that started everything…

But I’m not blaming you for this; I understand you, everyone has their impulsive moments.

It’s just that I hope you can understand me, some things indeed are beyond my control.”

His reasons were solid, his logic clear, the facts obvious, and his attitude gentle.

CEO Cheng’s response was astute, but Zhao Hongjin was still embarrassed.

“So what do we do now?”

“Wait.”

“How long must we wait?”

“It might be quicker if you don’t talk.”

“….”

A prolonged silence.

…..

…..

…..

“Sister, if you move forward any more, you’ll be sitting on my face…” CEO Cheng sighed.

It seemed as if fearing some ferocious beast behind her, Zhao Hongjin was sitting on Cheng Daqi’s body, inching forward from his waist, and was now sitting on his stomach.

“Ah?” Zhao Hongjin’s face, which had just lost color, was blushing again.

“Ah Zhao, many so-called friends drift apart after sharing some unpleasant experiences.

It’s a subconscious escape behavior; they are afraid to face real life.

We’re different, we’ll still be friends, right?”

Cheng Daqi initiated a new topic.

“Of course, but that doesn’t change my wish to forget this ever happened.”

The expression on the girl with peach blossom eyes was defeated, her tone bitter, and her gaze resentful.

“I don’t understand myself, why I suddenly felt like pushing you.”

“There are too many factors driving human behavior to figure them out clearly, but we can try to analyze it a bit.”

CEO Cheng’s composure was unrelated to his circumstances!

Even in such an awkward situation, he was able to enter the state with ease.

“Analyze?

Like psychological analysis in movies?”

“Yes and no.

My analysis is different from general psychological analysis.

There are many people in the world who understand psychological analysis, but the majority are just muddling along.

I am different.

My Cheng-style analysis method is unique to me.

It is a secret technique passed down through ten generations in my family, and unlocking it requires only a meal’s worth of service.

Madam, may I ask if you are interested?”

“Brother, I was looking forward to it, thinking ‘Cheng-style’ was the ‘procedure’ kind of Cheng.

But when you talk about something passed down through ten generations, that’s going too far.

Modern scientific research has fully demonstrated that anything from a small circle is not comprehensive, not universally applicable.”

“Just say whether you want it or not.

About pushing me down today, you owe me a meal to formally apologize, right?”

“But when you conned me earlier, saying my skin was getting worse or whatever, wasn’t that over the line?”

“So that’s how we’re calculating it?

When you asked me what your flaws were, how was I supposed to answer?

I had no choice at the time.

If I really told you your flaws, what if you were petty about it?”

“Who’s like you?

I’m not petty at all!”

“Then why did you push me?

Are you someone with a big heart, Miss Zhao?”

“You!”

“What’s wrong?

Big-hearted Miss Zhao~”

“No problem, call it however you like, hmph, I won’t get angry.”

“So, are we on for the meal?”

“Brother, it might be a bit out of place, but I feel like laughing.”

“Feel like laughing?

Why?”

“Let’s get started, I’ll treat you to a top-notch feast.”

Zhao Hongjin had already decided what to treat CEO Cheng to, she would take him to taste the authentic cuisine of the Ganges River!

This wasn’t because I was petty.

The Ganges is a holy river, so its cuisine surely qualifies as top-notch, the logic is sound, there’s no issue at all!

The nineteen-year-old girl thought of something joyful and laughed happily.

Something was off, she was not behaving normally.

CEO Cheng keenly perceived this anomaly, but he thought it didn’t matter.

The world was already crazy enough, let it be wrong then.

“According to the principles of Cheng-style analysis, behavior is a projection of the inner self.

When your behavior undergoes intense change, it indicates that your inner world has also undergone intense change.

Ah Zhao, you’ve always been a great person, smart, principled, and with a sense of measure.

Your impulsive action tonight didn’t come from nowhere.

Do you remember what you told me after watching the movie tonight?”

“Which part?

We talked about a lot tonight.”

“Not which part, but in the end, you killed the world you knew, you began to demystify the world you were familiar with.

Some new changes rushed in like a flood, like a storm, destroying your established worldview.

Your inner self is both collapsing and being reborn, which is actually a good thing.”

CEO Cheng’s words were abstract, luckily, Zhao Hongjin understood him.

Just as Cheng Daqi understood her, she also got what Cheng Daqi meant.

“A good thing?” The girl with peach blossom eyes was puzzled.

“It feels like I was led astray by you, and then you just continued to brainwash me…”

“I constantly betray my past self, yet I rejoice in doing so.

To put it simply—people need to step out of their comfort zones to grow faster.

You took the first step toward metamorphosis, the first step in spiritual evolution, and I am delighted for you.

That’s why I toasted with you at the time.”

“Is this kind of transformation a good thing?”

“The sea ahead is tumultuous, and you are the captain of your ship.

However, compared to those who blindly think they’ve awakened, you are lucky.

You’re only 19 years old and have been around normal people.

You’ll complete your evolution in a benign environment.”

“Today you’ve convinced me again…

Daqi, this is the second time I’ve felt this way.”

“What feeling?”

“Never mind, I want to speed it up.

Daqi, how can I speed it up?”

“You’re already moving quickly.

Many people are still searching for themselves at 30, and you’re just 19, already seeking the truth.

Haste makes waste, and being anxious about this kind of thing is futile.

Even Master Yangming accumulated experience for decades and still had to spend time at Longchang before he understood the truth.”

“So, you’ve already found yourself?”

“No, I haven’t found myself, nor have I understood the truth.

I’m just an ordinary person of no particular distinction.”

“You, of no particular distinction?”

“Of course, there are many things I don’t understand, like, I can’t figure out whether your mind is narrow or broad.”

“Hmph, very narrow.

From now on, I will be watching you, waiting for you to slip up.

Then I’ll jump out and mock you mercilessly.”
