Data Wasteland - chapter 885
Half an hour later…
On the mahogany desk smooth like a mirror, the bronze table lamp exudes a soft light.
The orange-red light shattered into countless pieces through the brandy bottle next to it, shining like diamonds.
Chen Xing leaned on the executive chair and stared at the oil painting on the wall. It was the work of a certain famous painting, which painted a corner of the Royal Library. Among the piles of books, scholars discussed enthusiastically.
However, his mind is obviously not here. His eyes were out of focus, his thoughts had been flying for nine days, and he didn’t know where to go wandering.
After Bai Ye Fenghua left just now, he was lost in thought.
I don’t know how long it took, and his gaze withdrew from the oil painting and moved to the wine bottle. After being silent for a while, his eyes moved again, passing through the wine bottle, and falling on a long and dull horse face.
The horse’s face was also particularly white, his eyes were small, and he looked dull and honest. At first glance, he knew that he was a good old man who couldn’t make a fart, so he missed a note with a “good man” label on his forehead.
Chen Xing looked at Assistant Yang as if he was looking at the oil painting on the wall just now.
Assistant Yang felt uncomfortable all over, as it was said that the viewer was unintentional, and the person being watched was like sitting on pins and needles. Being stared at by the boss and not saying a word for a long time, everyone will panic.
Assistant Yang was a little scared, hesitated for a while, and asked cautiously, “Boss, what’s the matter?”
Chen Xing raised his hand, and then there was no more. It may be a subconscious action, or it may be forgetting to say something.
“Do you want to drink?” Assistant Yang asked tentatively.
Chen Xing shook his head.
“Do you want to drink water or tea?” Assistant Yang asked again, and Chen Xing still shook his head.
His shaking his head was more like an unconscious movement.
“Then, do you have other needs?” Assistant Yang continued to ask.
“I’m thinking about things…” Chen Xing finally came back to his senses, and then he seemed to be thinking of something, and waved to Assistant Yang, “Come on, I’ll ask you a question.”
Assistant Yang hurried over and listened respectfully at the desk.
“You feel…”
“feel…”
Chen Xing only said the beginning and then stopped, frowning, as if he hadn’t thought about the next content.
After a while, Chen Xing started again, “Do you think, have I changed recently?”
After Bai Ye Fenghua left, Chen Xing began to reflect. Reflect on what kind of person you are. A lot of things happened during this period, and he felt as if he was no longer who he was.
He was a little confused. Although he has often felt confused since the third life, confused about fate, confused about ideals, and confused about feelings, he has never been confused about good and evil.
He has always thought that he is not a good person, but he is not a bad person either.
But everything that happened recently seems to have caused him to deviate from the original track and rush in an unknown direction.
It seems that the car can no longer be braked.
For profit, to execute an innocent woman, which made him feel very uncomfortable, as if eating a moldy apple, moldy, bitter, hard to swallow.
He is not pitying and cherishing jade, nor is he overflowing with sympathy, but a sense of discomfort after breaking through his own moral bottom line.
Although there are many excuses for this matter, forced by the situation, calculated by the white night, or the result of two evils, he is a sane person, even if there are a hundred excuses, he is clear. Know-that’s just an excuse
already.
The death of Shu Mu Xianglian can only be counted as his head. Because he can stop, no matter what the reason, he has the right to live and kill.
He didn’t nod, Bai Ye Fenghua wouldn’t do it. It is precisely because he has this right that the responsibility rests with him.
Power and responsibility are twin brothers. While possessing power, they also shoulder corresponding responsibilities.
After venting his anger in the white night wind, not only did he not feel relaxed, but he became even more uncomfortable.
For the first time, he felt that he was not enough man!
His discomfort also included being chased by A Qiaomu before, accidentally wounding civilians, Su Xuefei’s death, and all the following.
That’s why he has the current question-is Chen Xing bad?
“Boss, are you asking me?” Xiao Yang asked gesticulatingly. He didn’t dare to answer this kind of question casually, he had to confirm it again and again.
“Just to ask you.” Chen Xing said, then after thinking about it, he added, “Just say what you think, don’t be scrupulous.”
“Hehe…” Xiao Yang smirked.
“Be serious!” Chen Xing said with a cold face, “This is a very serious question!”
Xiao Yang quickly put away his smile, and said solemnly, “Boss, I don’t think you have gone bad.”
“Really?” Chen Xing looked puzzled.
“Because you have always been bad.” Xiao Yang said, covering his mouth, desperately holding back his laughter.
“Am I bad?” Chen Xing frowned, his eyes bursting with dangerous light, “Come on, let’s be reasonable.”
“What’s wrong with me, please tell me. If you are right, there will be rewards, if you are wrong…” Chen Xing paused and snorted, “You are dead!”
Xiao Yang didn’t know if it was a slow reaction or excessive excitement. He didn’t take the threat of Chen Xing seriously, and said critically, “Boss, I won’t talk about anything else. You’re already bad for women alone. Exactly.”
“Oh?” Chen Xing made a please gesture, “Tell me, what a bad way I am.”
“Look, when you were in Orchid Town, you got better with Captain Ye Yang, and you went to provoke the boss of the weapon shop and went out on adventures with others alone, stepping on two boats. Do you think you are not bad?”
“Later you also found the chief maid, Su Xuefei, and many women.”
Xiao Yang replied, “You are not loyal to love. Seeing one loves another, do you say you are not bad?”
“If I find more women, it is broken?” Chen Xing was a little incredulous. Three wives and four concubines are allowed in this world, but there can only be one wife in the marriage system.
“Of course not, love must be one-minded, loving only one person in your life.” Xiao Yang tilted his neck, closed his eyes, and said intoxicated, as if immersed in the happiness of love.
“Many people are three wives and four concubines.” Chen Xing spread his hands and said.
“They are all bad guys.” Xiao Yang opened his eyes and said stubbornly. “The marriage system can only register a wife. This is the convention spirit of the Human Survival Committee. It only recognizes monogamy, and the others are lovers, immoral. Extramarital affair.”
“This…” Chen Xing was speechless for a while. This little nerd talked about the “Human Convention”, which was really difficult to refute.
Indeed, the human convention only recognizes monogamy, but in order to adapt to the era of respect for the strong, there is no opposition to multiple spouses.
“Look, you have nothing to say.” Xiao Yang smiled triumphantly.
Chen Xing snorted coldly.
“With one heart and one mind, you only love one person in your life, right?”
“Yes!” Xiao Yang raised his head, as if standing on the moral high ground.
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “While you were talking about friends with Qian Ying, you were twisting and dancing with the black old strange daughter at the dance party, didn’t you?”
“Ah…” Xiao Yang was caught off guard and was stunned.
“Why, do you want to pretend to be stupid? Do you want to admit it? I saw it with my own eyes!” Chen Xing was aggressive, and Xiao Yang couldn’t help stepping back.
“I, I, I…” Xiao Yang stammered with sweat on his forehead, obviously a little guilty. In his ethics, to be tempted with women other than his girlfriend is to betray love. He was indeed tempted by the black old monster’s daughter, but others didn’t like him.
Therefore, he has a guilty conscience.
“If you step on two boats, if you want to put this matter in our hometown, you have to’dip the pig cage’!” Chen Xing showed a fierce look and frightened. Throw the stones into the river.”
“It’s terrible.” Xiao Yang’s face turned blue, and he felt scared when he thought of that kind of death.
“But…” Chen Xing turned around and comforted, “This is not our hometown, you just have two boats with one foot, and no one says anything about you.”
“Great, saved…” Xiao Yang patted his chest with lingering fear.
“You see, we are all riding two boats with one foot, but what’s the matter?” Chen Xing said, “Is this normal?”
“What the boss said.” Xiao Yang chick nodded like a rice peck, but after a while, he suddenly woke up and shouted, “Oh, you old man, you are so bad, you secretly changed your concept.”
“How did I secretly change the concept?” Chen Xing asked.
“I hold hands with them, the relationship is very pure, unlike you…”
Chen Xing interrupted Xiao Yang, “I am also very pure with them, that is, talking and chatting.”
“How is it possible?” Xiao Yang didn’t believe it, “old man, it’s very bad.”
“Did you see it with your own eyes?” Chen Xing asked, “Do you have evidence?”
“This, this is not…” Xiao Yang shook his head in embarrassment. Even if Chen Xing had a relationship with a woman, it was impossible for him to watch him next to him, so there was no evidence for this matter.
Do you want him to ask the boss’s woman? Not to mention the eldest woman, one of these women has a higher status than the other, and he will ask if he is tired of life. And even if you ask, people won’t admit it.
“There is no evidence, you are slandering.” Chen Xing pointed to Xiao Yang’s nose, “In our hometown, you want to dip the pig cage!”
“Don’t don’t don’t, boss, I was wrong, don’t dip the pig cage.” Xiao Yang quickly surrendered.
“Then tell me now, is there anything wrong with me?” Chen Xing said with his hands behind his back.
“The boss is right, the boss is a good person, a good person!” Xiao Yang said repeatedly.
Why does the word good sound so harsh? Why does it sound like a curse?
“You are a good person, I…” Chen Xing thought for a while and said, “I am a gentleman.”
“Is there a difference?” Xiao Yang looked dull, “Isn’t that the same thing?”
“No, you are a good person, I am a gentleman.” Chen Xing emphasized. These days, good people cards cannot be collected randomly.
“Oh, I am a good person, and you are a gentleman.” Xiao Yang repeated blankly.
“Yes, that’s it!” Chen Xing gave a thumbs up.
