Under One Person: Lifting the Ball to Soar

Page 155

Lu Liang gave his third brother a thumbs up in admiration, thinking that Xia He could become a Buddha instantly. What a fool!

Xia He no longer had the energy to annoy Lu Piao. Why would she bother with a fool?

He said angrily:

“I’m not at the level you describe. It’s quite the opposite. I’m simply suffering because of the troubles my ability has brought upon myself! I’m in so much pain, I want to die, and I’m crying out to the heavens!”

Xia He caught a glimpse of Lu Piao’s expression of complete incomprehension and added angrily:

“Why, can’t it?”

Lu Piao frowned deeply, put down his wine glass, folded his arms and said in confusion:

“Eh? That’s not right. When we are young, we are weak and will be at the mercy of the world. But when we grow up and become independent, we can eventually choose the path we want to take…”

Xia He smiled coldly and feebly:

“You’re just saying some pretty commonplace words. Do you think I haven’t tried it before…

You are really a fool. Too often, our appearance is determined by others…

Lu Piao, don’t you even know such a simple truth? ”

After hearing this, Lu Piao was stunned and blurted out in a low voice:

“At least I decide my appearance myself…”

Xia He frowned: “What did you say?”

Lu Piao laughed complacently:

“Big sister, what you said is not wrong, but it is also something that is completely unworthy of your attention. We cannot decide what others think of us, but we can make them not have an opinion of us!”

Xia He was impatient: “If you have something to say, say it quickly!”

Lv Piao shared his life experience with Xia He:

“The choices in life are nothing more than ‘advance’ or ‘retreat’. If you can’t ‘advance’, can you still ‘retreat’?

Since your abilities are destined to pose a threat to the world, and this society makes you work hard and suffer, you should live in seclusion and learn more about it.

You can easily get rid of all worldly troubles by simply giving up your social life in reality. You can just learn from me and lie down and become a stay-at-home girl!

In ancient times, living in seclusion was indeed a real pain, but in modern society, staying at home is pretty cool!

All entertainment is available online, and all the delicious food in the world can be delivered to your doorstep via takeout…”

Lu Piao kept boasting about how happy it was to lie down and do nothing, but the more he talked, the more wrong Xia He’s face looked.

“Uh… I understand!” Lu Piao saw the expression on his face and immediately changed his words!

Although he said he understood, he was emotionally confused:

“I think, for a modern person like you, Xia He, being a stay-at-home girl is a very difficult thing, right?

That’s right, blame me for being stupid. After all, even an idiot would make such an obvious choice. I must have tried it and found that it didn’t work, otherwise I would have become a stay-at-home girl long ago.

Xia He, you are such a pretty girl. If you are not allowed to go out on the street to enjoy the stunning gazes of stinky men, it must be more painful than being stabbed!”

Lu Piao laughed and rubbed the back of his head. After finding an excuse for Xia He, he muttered secretly:

“It’s hard to serve strangers. Compared to the omnipresent contempt and discrimination, and the danger of being plucked out at any time, it’s actually more difficult to accept staying at home and not leaving the house…”

Lu Piao didn’t understand at all what Xia He’s look of doubt about life meant. In his opinion, it was reasonable for Xia He to need the pursuit of men. Although this seemed to conflict with the source of her pain, aliens were such strange creatures.

Isn’t it because of the surprised looks that Master Liang Ting wanted to commit suicide? Maybe Xia He just dislikes men touching her, but she enjoys men’s lustful looks just like Master Liang pursues surprised looks…

Lu Piao thought he understood everything, and shook his head and sighed helplessly:

“Woman, your name is vanity.”

Gong Qing and Lu Liang held the table with one hand and covered their mouths with the other to try hard to hold back their laughter.

Xia He pulled an awkward but polite arc at the corner of her mouth, forced a smile, and said in a very artificial and coquettish tone:

“Yeah, I am a little vain. It’s hard for me to stay at home!”

Lu Piao once again pretended to be ‘considerate’ and understanding, and continued:

“I understand. I totally understand! In fact, there is a more thorough way to solve your troubles besides staying at home…”

Lu Liang, who was just looking for fun, asked:

“Is there a better way? Tell me what it is, Third Brother!”

Lu Piao looked at Xia He’s beautiful face and said seriously:

“How about abolishing your own cultivation? All the strange phenomena of the extraordinary people are based on Qi. If you abolish your own cultivation, you will naturally lose the ability to arouse other people’s desires.

As long as you choose to give up your superpowers and become an ordinary person, all problems will be solved.”

After Lu Piao finished speaking, he observed carefully and found that Xia He was even more embarrassed. He immediately expressed his understanding:

“Yeah, that’s the same idea that any idiot could come up with. Since you didn’t do that, you naturally can’t accept it.

For extraordinary people, ability is more important than life. It is nonsense to say that they envy the peaceful life of ordinary people.

Just like rich people are not necessarily happier than poor people, but if you ask them to switch their lives with those of poor people, they will definitely not accept it.

Although it seems like she is just whining and being hypocritical, but actually… that’s the way it is…”

Lu Piao sighed helplessly:

“Ah, that’s human nature!”

Xia He’s face was completely embarrassed, and Lu Piao quickly added:

“Xia He, I’m really not saying that you’re being hypocritical. This is human nature. I understand. I understand very much!”

Xia He smiled on the surface, but secretly she was cursing and roaring madly in her heart: You don’t understand shit!

Lü Liang approached Gong Qing fearlessly and whispered to him:

“Sister Xia is indeed a bit of a bitch…”

Gong Qing said to Xia He with a smile:

“You only focus on the immediate situation, but ignore the bright future ahead. You also say you can’t help yourself and can’t take the path you want to take…

It is such a sad life to be unable to obtain what you want, unable to give up what you want, and unwilling to cherish what you get.

Xia He, in my opinion, you should stop hesitating and join Quan Xing directly!”

“You haven’t insulted me enough, have you?”

Xia He slammed the table and stood up, stepped on the table with her long legs, picked up the wine glass and drank heartily.

After drinking, he laughed happily, as if he had cast aside all his burdens, and the flying bird spread its wings and cried out, full of courage and determination:

“Lv Piao! You’re looking at your phone again! I’m telling you, don’t even think about leaving this bar tonight! No one is allowed to escape! We won’t leave until we’re drunk!”

The prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain, but when you discover that this mountain of suffering is just a stupid, weak and insignificant joke.

Should I cry or laugh?

Prejudices in people’s minds come from others, but more often from themselves.

At least for Xia He, who has gotten rid of the obstacles of knowledge and understanding, for the rest of her life, she can let go of the burden and just be herself!

……

Lu Piao was awakened by the whistling wind in his ears. He opened his eyes, rubbed his head which was aching from the hangover, and asked dazedly:

“Where am I…”

Xia He’s energetic reply came from the front seat of the car:

“on the way!”

Lu Piao: “…”

Damn, going to a nightclub is no joke. Did I encounter the legendary corpse-picking incident?

Chapter 164 Drunk Speech

After Lu Piao realized that he had been tricked, he acted extremely calmly. He immediately took out his cell phone and pressed it with his uncontrollable fingers, while continuing to ask incoherently:

“What’s the destination?”

Lu Liangshen, who was beside Lu Piao, stretched his neck and observed suspiciously. Seeing that the third brother was fiddling with his phone before he was fully awake, he couldn’t help but feel strange, but he answered honestly:

“Eagle Altar.”

“Oh…ying…tan, which ying and which tan…” Lu Piao’s tone suddenly became exasperated:

“Nah! It’s already been shipped!”

When this guy learned of his fate of being kidnapped, the first thing that came to his mind was to quickly log into Taobao to see if the item he bought yesterday had been shipped, and whether it was too late to change the delivery address immediately.

When Lu Liang saw what was waiting to be delivered on Lu Piao’s phone, he was speechless…

Lv Piao quit Taobao in great disappointment. The delivery of the package had dealt him a heavy blow. With a start, his mind cleared up from the confusion and he began to observe the environment he was in…

It turned out that he was in a speeding red convertible.

A scoundrel like Lu Piao who longed to lie down forever certainly had no knowledge of vehicles, but when he saw the four-circle logo on the steering wheel, combined with the exquisite interior of the car, and the smooth and quiet high-speed driving state.

All of this shows that this is an expensive convertible Audi.

Lu Piao turned his gaze to the passengers in the car again.

He and Xiao Liangzi sat in the back seat, Xia He and Gong Qing sat in the front seat, and Xia He was driving the car.

There was a cheap-looking stuffed teddy bear hanging on the rearview mirror inside the car, swaying gently as the car sped along.

The three men were still wearing the same outfits as last night, but Xia He had changed into a fresh and elegant white dress, with big frog sunglasses, and her pretty face underneath…

Anyway, Lu Piao couldn’t tell whether she was wearing light makeup or not.

In short, Xia He’s temperament at this moment is gentle and pure, like a water lotus that is shy in the cool breeze, which is very different from her bitchy appearance yesterday.

The girl held the steering wheel with her right hand and rested her left hand on the car door, her pink fist supporting her rosy, tender face.

That pure and cool look made Lu Piao suddenly understand why girls are obsessed with handsome guys who drive luxury cars.

In fact, that stereotype is really biased. Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they are good-looking with a nice car, they will appear particularly attractive.
