"Haha, in fact, Fresh just has a rich imagination and does not have such strong reasoning ability. I think what he said is just a random knowledge he knows and can't be considered real reasoning. If you don't believe it, look at me and ask him." As he said that, James picked up a porcelain cup and put it in front of Fresh, and asked Fresh, saying:

"Freshe, tell me the story you saw from this porcelain cup."

Fresey opened his blue eyes wide and looked at the cup in James's hand, and then started talking nonstop without any thought:

"It is delicate and transparent, with beautiful and elegant shape, with blue stripes as blue as the deep sea, and the porcelain surface is uniform and not flowing or cracking. There are three such cups, and one missing in the other set of cups. This style is incompatible with the patterns of other sets of cups. It should be that the original one fell to the ground and broke before I wanted to buy a few to supplement it. But because it was a set, I must be very casual when I bought it. I did not consider the pattern and overall matching, but only consider the good price-performance ratio and can be taken on the table, but I did not consider the authenticity of it. I think that Mr. Yang must have taken Sister Xueqi to the exchange market that day, and encountered the porcelain market for sale. The store recommended this cup to Mr. Yang. Sister Xueqi pulled Mr. Yang and looked around. Mr. Yang's eyes were on Sister Xueqi, and he didn't care what the store said.

So, I bought it if I think the price is good. The store sells it because he was trapped on September 16, 2008. The Shanghai Composite Index of A-shares lost a new low yesterday. He lost all his money to reserve and repay the mortgage. He had no choice but to sell porcelain to subsidize his household income. However, the store was not a veteran. His ancestors were all big players in Jingdezhen porcelain stores, but he did not do his job properly when he was passed on to his generation. His ancestors' skills and vision were not passed down. He only knew to go to the wrong way to make money and squander, but he was eager for quick success and instant benefits to do things roughly. The reason why he suffered a big loss in stock was because on the 16th of 2008, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States announced on the 15th that it would file for bankruptcy protection, which caused the huge losses of Citibank to drive international investors' concerns about the US financial system.

The global stock market crash caused Merrill Lynch to suffer a downturn, but behind it is the behind-the-scenes game between the five major investment banks on Wall Street. Lehman went bankrupt, Merrill Lynch was acquired, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs became the last winners to increase the right to speak in the financial industry, which led to hot European and American financial markets, which led to hot European and American financial markets, hot money flows into Chinese stock markets, and foreign capital inflated bubbles supported. The Chinese government maintained the rights of international foreign languages ​​by continuing to hold debts and issued US securities to avoid the collapse of the financial building caused by hot money outflows. However, the US side saw that China's financial secrets were secretly labeled. The Democratic Party launched quantitative easing policies on November 13, 2010, and liberalized the currency market and increased the spillover of hot money to collect international interest rates. China and other Asian countries increased the cost of imported oil weakened the cost of Chinese manufacturing. The threat of quantitative easing was finally caused by the end of 2014.

After the easing ended, the downward pressure on China's manufacturing industry increased. The dangerous goods warehouse belonging to Ruihai Company in the Tianjin Port International Logistics Center area was under the pressure of economic downward. The transaction volume decreased. The goods replacement cycle was extended. The RMB depreciated. After the Chinese military announced that the H-6K God of War bombers was released. The army also caused a Japanese potato to rise to 108 yen. The instability of the society accelerated. The pharmaceutical reform. The profit of the drug market decreased. Mr. Yang's quarterly report fell from the previous month. Tang Mengyan's ex-boyfriend's pharmaceutical company was seized. Tang Mengyan's sister returned to the market to work due to employment pressure. So she encountered Mr. Yang who was worried about not wanting to stay at home to see the company's sales and stock market downhill line and wanted to go out to relax…”

"Enough, enough, stop." I almost grabbed Fresh's arm and stopped his chattering words. Fresh almost said this sentence with a surprising amount of information like Haitao. I can't remember everything he said, but the things he said have completely subverted my views.

Freshe smiled and said:

"By the way, the economic downturn in each country is inversely proportional to the prosperity of the entertainment industry. The rise in unemployment rate has led to people being able to take time to go to cinemas and other entertainment venues. Mr. Ma Bailong's company performance is in progress, Mr. Ma Bailong takes a generous date with Sister Xueqi because of their Baima Entertainment Group's performance in the quarter."

I stared at Fresey blankly, while James shrugged, spread his hands and looked at me, and said with a wry smile:

"Mr. Yang, you don't have to believe this little devil's words. He just likes to combine some insignificant fragments and information together and say it randomly. Sometimes, although it can be said correctly, most of the time it is just nonsense with rich imagination. You don't have to take it too seriously."

"Is this... nonsense?" I looked at James and looked at Fresey again, completely stunned.

"Yes, I think it's nonsense." James said with a smile. "Besides rich imagination or some mental illnesses that can cause confusion in thought, I can't think of an explanation for Fresh's situation. Many of the things Fresh said cannot be verified or falsified. So Mr. Yang, you don't have to take it too seriously."

Don't...be it serious?

How can it be impossible to take this seriously?

I still stared at Freshew in a daze, but the little guy stuck out his tongue at me, then jumped off the sofa, stretched his arms and waist, and yawned:

"I feel sticky, I feel so uncomfortable. I'll go take a shower first." As he said that, he jumped and burped towards the room on the second floor.

Looking at the little boy's slender and short back, the wave in my heart was surging and I couldn't calm down.

A profiler can profile the details of things, environment, and people around you, while a profiler's ultimate can see through everything in this world and even know everything in the past, present and future.

But...what if Fresey was not talking about simple nonsense, but happened to be the truth?

Then he is not the living God?

At least, I still remember very clearly that the porcelain cup on the coffee table was indeed bought by Xueqi and I in the porcelain market. That day, Xueqi took my hand and walked around the porcelain market, pointing to this and that. She was in a hurry to buy a porcelain basin for planting flowers, so I didn't have the intention to see the porcelain cup. I just bought a few to make up for the one I broke at home.

Frescher obviously made the point completely in this matter.

Just as I was talking to James, the sound of wheels came from outside, and then the sound of the door closed. Then I saw Xueqi walking in through the main hall door, her face flushed. Seeing her appearance, I pretended to be careless and said:

"I'm back, is the movie good?"

"Yes. OK." Xueqi walked up to me with her hand, "Dad, you went to the movie just now, with Frexiu?"

"Yeah." I stammered, "That little guy Freshe said he met you. Didn't you go to another cinema? Why did you go to that one?"

"Oh, because the other family has been booked," Xueqi said a little disappointed, "but they have already gone out and it is not cost-effective to come back, so she rushed to another family to see it. Dad, why didn't you answer the phone call you just now?"

"This..." I was stunned, but soon found an excuse, "I'm going to watch a movie, I put my phone in the car, but I didn't see it."

This reason is reasonable, Xueqi didn't think much about it and said:

"That's it, then I'll go take a shower." Seeing Xueqi turning around, I suddenly asked:

"Qiqi, you went to the couple's restaurant with Ma Bailong just now, right?"

After I asked this, Xueqi stopped walking, turned her head nervously and looked at me, then nodded, and nodded.

"Just drank a little drink... Oh, by the way, Ma Bailong originally wanted to ask someone to transport a box of ice cream back, but I said I didn't want it and let him retreat." Xueqi said a little incoherently. Every time I asked about the matter between her and Ma Bailong, she always seemed a little nervous, as if she was afraid that I would misunderstand it.

"Well, I just drank some drinks and didn't do anything else?" I asked as I looked into Xueqi's eyes.

Xueqi was a little afraid to look me in the eyes. She dug her fingernails with both hands and finally said in a low voice:

"Well...no."

"Go and take a shower. Go to bed early and have class tomorrow." Of course, I knew that Xueqi and Ma Bailong almost kissed each other, but Xueqi obviously concealed this matter now. Seeing that I had no words, Xueqi turned around and went back to the room.

The seemingly uneasy day passed so peacefully. That night, Xueqi slept very late, probably because of her excitement. I saw her huddled in the quilt and playing with her mobile phone, and I didn’t know who she was chatting with. I thought the most likely one was Ma Bailong, or her classmates and friends who were filming advertisements. I opened WeChat and looked at the few names on my list, and felt an indescribable sense of loss in my heart.

When I opened my Moments, I saw Xueqi uploading a photo taken in the cinema. Below are dozens of likes and a long list of replies. Although I can't see most of them, I can also see from the number of likes that Xueqi is so popular in the class. I opened my Moments and looked at the message I posted five days ago. So far, there are only single-digit likes.

Looking at the reply of that digit, I suddenly smiled bitterly, and felt an indescribable sense of loneliness in my heart.

That feeling is like I was abandoned by the world.

Some people say that everyone lives in the world with their own small world. The circle of friends represents the number of true friends a person has, and also represents the size of the world he has.

In the days when I didn't know, Xueqi's popularity had already surpassed me. She had a world that was much bigger and more exciting than me, and my world was so small compared to her.

If one day I will never see any reply in her WeChat Moments again, it means that my world and I will never meet again, and Xueqi will completely leave me.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt like a knife cut in my heart. In the end, I could only turn off my phone and plan to turn off the lights and go to bed. Before turning off the lights, I thought of the book "Ordinary World", took it out and took a look at the progress bar on it. I took a look at the progress bar before going to bed every day, which has become my habit.

Completeness: 40%.

It says this on the progress bar.

I clearly remember that the progress bar was only 20% last night, but I didn’t expect it to double today, reaching 40%. Is this because Xueqi and Ma Bailong were on a date today, which made her excited?

At this point, there is nothing to doubt. If you want to save this world and complete the progress bar, you are the only one who lets Xueqi go and lets her be happy.

But who can give Xueqi the greatest happiness?

Today, I got the answer.

Ma Bailong, only he can give Xueqi the greatest happiness. Xueqi belongs to him, not mine.

Even if I don't want to, I can't change this ending.

So... how can we keep the progress bar rising in the next few days?

Reason tells me that the answer is actually very clear.

That is to try every means to make Xueqi and Ma Bailong together. If necessary, even let Xueqi and Ma Bailong make a marriage contract, and even have skin kinship...

But, is that possible?

For me, can I... do it?

Thinking of Xueqi tangling in bed with other men naked, panting, stroking the back of other men, and saying that other men are so powerful, an invisible anger will arise in my heart. I don’t know how to describe that feeling, but I feel like a raptor roaring in my body, blocking me, and I will not accept it no matter what, nor even let me think about it.

Once I had a messy thought in my mind, I couldn’t calm down. That night, I didn’t sleep well. I was thinking about all kinds of good and bad things, and I almost lost insomnia.

In the middle of the night, I felt my quilt being lifted open, and a soft body came in. I turned my head to look at the cityscape light outside the window and found that it was Xueqi. When I saw Xueqi's dark eyes, I was shocked and stared at her and said:

"Qiqi, what are you doing? I haven't been asleep so late, so I ran to my bed?"

Xueqi shrank, grabbed the quilt with her hands, and laughed:

"Stop quarrel, don't do anything, I just can't sleep, it's still comfortable in this bed. I used to be able to fall asleep all of a sudden on this bed."

Xueqi's words stunned me. Indeed, when she was a child, Xueqi slept with me. At that time, she slept on this bed, shrank her body, her hands pressed against my back, and her knees against my hip bone. She could always fall asleep all of a sudden, and she was very dead. Now she probably still used to this bed. Sometimes when I come home later, I see her lying on my big bed watching TV.

Taking advantage of the faint light, looking at Xueqi's cute appearance with her shrank and fists, I suddenly felt the urge to hold her in my arms. I really wanted to hold her in my arms, playing with her like I did when I was a child, but now time has passed, nothing can be done. If I go to pinch her little butt now, Xueqi will probably kick me hard.

As I thought about it, I smelled Xueqi's hair and felt a little dry. My hands were really itchy. I turned to look at Xueqi facing me and leaned against my back. I couldn't help but stretch out my hand and touched her tender and delicate thighs, but I was immediately strongly resisted by Xueqi.

"What are you doing? I'm sick, go to bed!"

Xueqi used her fingernails to carve the flesh on the back of my hand. I pretended to be painful and screamed. Xueqi immediately let go. I looked at Xueqi proudly, but Xueqi also saw that I was pretending, but she kicked my ankle with her feet, then turned around, shrank, and looked at me with her back and little butt in her shoulder-off vest, as if it could protect herself.

Seeing Xueqi still look the same as before, I felt a little comforted in my heart. But compared to when I was a child, Xueqi is now more charming. Although she was cute when she was a child, she would cry after a little touch. She looked like a porcelain cup, which made people dare not touch her too much. But now she is more like a girl. Not only is she more beautiful, but she is also more feminine. The so-called girl changes in age, and Xueqi, who is sixteen, has begun to change. She has become a little bit unable to resist the temptation even as me, a father. Sometimes, when I habitually patted her little butt, I couldn't even figure out that this was a trend of being my own desire, or it was the habit left by Xueqi when I was a child.

Sometimes I don’t know how to define the relationship between me and Xueqi.

Since I am her father, I am also her brother, and sometimes I am also her playmate and the closest person she has since grown up.

I don’t know what Xueqi is to me, daughter, sister, lover? I don’t know either, I don’t know whether Xueqi is clear in her heart.

But, at least, at this moment, I feel that this relationship is pretty good.

"Dad... have you been hiding something from me recently?" Xueqi suddenly asked me in a daze.

When I heard Xueqi's words, I was a little sleepy and suddenly lost all my sleepiness.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" I asked pretending to be unaware.

Xueqi still turned her back to me, her tone was as light as if she was dreaming.

"If it were before, Dad, you wouldn't have agreed to let Ma Bailong go to the movie... You know we went to the couple's restaurant together... I would definitely be very angry... I think you would definitely be like that..."

"Haha, am I that fierce?" I smiled. "I'm talking about it like a tiger, and I'm going to eat you?"

"But... Dad, you are such a person." Xueqi whispered, "Dad, you are normal... Now your appearance... makes me always feel that you seem very angry, but you are still holding it down... This is not like you at all..."

Xueqi's words were like an axe passing through my heart. Sure enough, Xueqi still understood my personality, and she finally realized that my personality was different during this period. In fact, I knew very well that Xueqi was not a fool, and she would always see that my behavior was not right.

I swallowed and said with a smile:

"Haha, where isn't it like? I touched your little butt like before, ah? Qiqi, it's because you missed you too much. Dad just saw that you grew up and shouldn't care too much about you like before. As long as you live happily, I have nothing to say. Qiqi, I ask you, are you having fun today? Tell the truth."

Xueqi was silent for a while, and then I saw her nodding her head:

"Well... I'm quite happy..."
To be continued...
