From the end of the world

Chapter 599: Congratulations

I feel like it's about time I made a statement.

"I understand everything. Next, I would like to share some of my thoughts. Is that okay?" I asked.

"Of course. Brother Zhuang Cheng, what do you want to say?" Xiaowan said.

"For me, I don't think love is like objective matter, which must follow the law of conservation of matter. It's like a magical power that is free and unfettered. Even if you like someone more, your original love will not be split in half." I said, "To put it in a more detailed way, it's like a person who likes Coke will not lose half his love for Coke even if he likes Sprite. So if I want to love Ma Zao and Zhu Shi at the same time, it's theoretically possible."

"In theory?" Xiaowan seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhu Shi immediately pointed out: "Even if the feelings in your heart don't decrease by half, your time and energy are limited in reality. The more attention you pay to one person, the less attention you pay to the other. The time you spend with one person alone will be divided, and if you accompany two people at the same time, the person you are accompanying will also have opinions."

"I have no objection?" Ma Zao said.

"I have no objection either," I said.

"Ma Zao, you did have one last thought! And this is not something you can say, Brother Zhuang, right?" Zhu Shi complained.

"However, what Zhu Shi said makes sense. If I start to two-timing, the relationship between you and me will become unequal anyway. In fact, this situation has happened before. I have a possessive desire for Ma Zao, but Ma Zao only wants to devote herself to me. If I put myself in her shoes, I would absolutely not be able to tolerate it if Ma Zao had a man other than me. But now I am doing something like 'do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you'." I said.

"Yes. Even if Senior Brother Zhuang doesn't plan to fall in love with me as Xiaowan said, just marrying me and having children as originally planned is already a physical affair... Although it's a bit problematic from my perspective as the 'cheating partner', isn't this a double standard?" Zhu Shi said.

"In fact, even if I know that I have double standards, I will not correct it. Double standards are double standards, and I will directly tell people around me that I have double standards. It is not the first time that I have done something that I don’t want others to do to me, and I never take it to heart." I said.

"No, you should take it to heart!" Zhu Shi shouted.

Xiaowan asked: "So... what exactly does Brother Zhuang Cheng want to express? It seems to me that you have always agreed with my plan, but it seems that you still have unspoken objections?"

"It's not that I have an objection. In fact, I also think that the plan of three people being together is logical. Ma Zao also hopes that I will love Zhu Shi, and as for Zhu Shi, I feel that she is speaking negatively more out of common sense, and she is not resisting this relationship from the bottom of her heart..." I said while looking at Zhu Shi.

Zhu Shi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I don't hate being with Senior Brother Zhuang and Ma Zao, I just hope that Senior Brother Zhuang can give all his love to Ma Zao, instead of giving it to a woman like me who can't give back the same love..."

Xiao Wan corrected him: "After I complete my mission, just like Zhu Jiu's soul will return, your lost love will also return. So, you don't have to worry about that."

"…Is that so?" Zhu Shi seemed to have no choice but to accept it without thinking.

The most important thing is that she must understand very well that if she cannot cooperate with Xiaowan to complete the mission, Zhu Jiu will never be able to return.

Zhu Shi could only do what Xiaowan said.

And I went on to say, “What I really want to say is, I probably can’t do it.”

"What can't you do?" Xiaowan was stunned.

"Ma Zao gave me all her feelings, so it's hard for me not to give all my feelings to Ma Zao," I said.

Xiao Wan asked in confusion: "But Brother Zhuang Cheng, didn't you say before that even if you like Zhu Shi, your feelings for Sister Ma Zao will not decrease? Why do you think that once you give all your feelings to Sister Ma Zao, it will be difficult to share them with Zhu Shi? Isn't this illogical?"

"It's indeed illogical. So, actually, it's not very easy for me to explain it. I'm not saying this because it's not law of conservation or unequal or anything like that, I just think... this is how things should be." I said sincerely.

Is it because I still have romantic fantasies about beautiful love in my heart? Or is it that I say I want to be an upright person with double standards, but in fact I am still unconsciously yearning to be a gentleman who can be recognized by everyone?

Or is this the psychological state you should be in when you truly like someone?
Xiaowan lowered his head and thought, as if he slowly understood something, and his frown relaxed again.

"I understand." She said, "In short, it's not that Brother Zhuang Cheng doesn't want to do it, or thinks he shouldn't do it, he just thinks he can't do it, right?"

"That's right," I said.

"Then things are simple!" Xiao Wan smiled. "Brother Zhuang Cheng can't develop feelings for Zhu Shi directly, so we just need to cultivate the feelings through 'some methods'."

Zhu Shi seemed to have a bad premonition, or perhaps he was feeling uneasy because of the previous conversations that went against common sense. He asked in a trembling voice, "What do you mean by 'some methods'?"

I am also very curious about what kind of answer Xiaowan can come up with with his extraordinary wisdom.

Xiao Wan took a deep breath and then spoke out her words of wisdom in a shocking voice: "--That's 'sexual desire'!"

"What!?" Zhu Shi was dumbfounded.

"The relationship between men and women is a mixture of friendship and desire..." Xiaowan said in a tone of telling the truth, "Since ancient times, sex and love have been sacred and inseparable. Love will give birth to desire, and desire will give birth to love." Just as theory can guide practice, and practice will feed back to theory, practice is also a very important link in emotional relationships.

"If you want Brother Zhuang Cheng to fall in love with you, then you must carry out practical activities with you."

"Real practical activities!?" Zhu Shi's eyes were so confused that they seemed to turn into a mosquito coil.

"Don't make such a fuss." Xiao Wan said earnestly, "Since you can't surpass Sister Ma Zao emotionally, you can only make use of your curvy female college body."

"Fortunately, this is also the part that Sister Ma Zao lacks now, and you can fill this gap. Brother Zhuang Cheng is still very young. As long as you become his first practical activity object, it will definitely leave an eternal mark in his heart, and emotions will continue to grow from this mark like a spring.

"I know that for you who are pure-hearted, this is undoubtedly a shameful battle, but if you don't practice it before Sister Asaya develops fully, there will be no second chance. You don't want to become a loser like the childhood sweetheart in the romance comics who has done nothing for more than ten years, right? The most important thing you should do now is to eat up the person you like like a shameless beast!"

"Childhood sweetheart... loser..." Zhu Shi's gaze unconsciously slid towards Zhu Jiu who was lying on the bed.

Ma Zao seemed to remember something, "Come to think of it, I seem to have done something similar before..."

I also remembered that Zhu Shi once said on a whim that since he would marry me and have children sooner or later in the future, he might as well practice first to get rid of the fear in advance; more importantly, it was to prevent me from taking action on Ma's body before she grew up, so he could vent the desires that had accumulated over time on her.

Later, she became afraid of the challenge, so she changed her mind and started from the initial stage and adapted gradually.

Xiaowan asked Ma Zao curiously. After getting the explanation, she whispered, "I see. Last time it was intimate caressing... Then what is the next stage? Have you decided?"

Ma Zao answered seriously: "It's a kiss."

Xiaowan slowly looked towards Zhu Shi.

Zhu Shi made a strange whimpering sound and said in panic: "Wait, wait a minute... My mother - my mother who has turned into a vegetable is still lying there! Isn't it too disrespectful to do that here? At least... at least change the occasion...!"

Xiao Wan said seriously, "It doesn't matter. Zhu Jiu won't care. I can give her a guarantee and I can also witness what's going to happen next."

"But...but..." Zhu Shi seemed to be racking his brains to find an excuse, "Oh, right! I only brushed my teeth when I got up in the morning. It's already afternoon now. I've had breakfast and lunch in between. There should be a taste in my mouth..."

"So you're just worried about that kind of thing?" Ma Zao said sympathetically, "Don't worry, I'll use the power of return to reset the state of your mouth to the time when you just brushed your teeth this morning."

"Even so..."

Zhu Shi was at the end of his rope and couldn't find a way to escape, so he had to loudly ask for help from outside the stadium: "Grandpa, Grandpa! You must be able to hear the voices here, right? Please help your granddaughter!"

We did not take any measures to keep our conversation secret. Mr. Zhu, as a senior immortal, must have heard all our conversations since he was in the same villa.

As for his granddaughter's request for help, Mr. Zhu, who was outside the bedroom, not only did not give any verbal response, but also did something to add insult to injury.

Click.

The bedroom door suddenly locked.

"Grandpa!?" Zhu Shi looked caught off guard and betrayed.

I feel that I need to put an end to this increasingly chaotic situation with a brave move. Moreover, as a man, I think that such things should always be done by myself. This matter was not finalized today, but was agreed upon a long time ago. Sooner or later, we will get married and have children anyway, so today is not a big deal.

So I took a step forward and walked towards Zhu Shi.

Seeing this, Zhu Shi hurriedly retreated to the corner. His body seemed to lose strength unconsciously, and he slowly slid down the wall and sat down on the ground.

"Um... Senior Brother Zhuang?" She said weakly, "If you have something to say... let's talk it over..."

Xiao Wan made an encouraging voice not far away: "Brother Zhuang Cheng! Tongue, remember to stick out your tongue!"

Ma Zao touched his lips, then looked at me and Zhu Shi, as if he was imagining something.

As I approached step by step, against the light of the bedroom, my shadow covered Zhu Shi's body. Zhu Shi's eyes gradually looked up, looking up at my face with fear. I also felt indescribable tension in my heart, and I tried hard not to let her see.

I slowly lowered one knee and stretched out my hand to support the wall. My palm pressed against the wall next to Zhu Shi's cheek. Although it was not intentional, she could not escape. She seemed to realize this, her face turned red, and she stopped struggling. Her whole body was completely stiff, as if she had accepted her fate, and she slowly closed her eyes.

The distance between our lips got closer and closer until it was zero.
