Chapter 38 Blind date

In order to spend the full moon night, Tunan took a day off and didn't go to work. When she stepped into the company again, she felt a feeling of waking up from a dream and returning to reality. She had been working for several days in a row and received a call from her aunt. Auntie? You are just pregnant and you have to pay attention to your health. How can you have time to contact me?

You kid, our relative is just our family in Beijing. I don’t care who cares about you.

After a few greetings, my aunt began to get to the point: Nannan, it’s time for you to be 24 after the New Year. Do you have any partner you like?

Tunan thought to herself that she was here, and the law of urging marriage that no one could escape from was realized. However, now she has to have a tripod attack every month, so she can only practice dual cultivation with the great demon. She must not find a partner, otherwise she would have to wear a cuckold every month?

So she lie calmly: Yes

My aunt said curiously: Who is it? I haven't heard you mention it

Toonan: Emmm…

My aunt is extremely keen: Who is it? You shouldn’t have made excuses to make excuses for me?

Tunan: Well! This! I'm still talking about it, but I haven't decided, so it's hard to talk about it...

So my aunt's tone immediately became excited: I haven't decided to do anything, what's wrong with my godmother's sister-in-law's second sister-in-law's family knows a young talent. Are you interested in getting to know each other? Even if you don't like it, meet and have a meal or make friends!

Tunan thought that this was simply a typical sentence structure for introducing blind dates, the kind that is common in the universe. She rubbed her painful head: Auntie, I am very busy recently, and I have a sore waist and back pain due to drawing pictures...

The more busy you are, the more you need to relax! It’s just a meal, don’t you want time to eat yourself?

Tunan also wants to reject: I...

My aunt immediately interrupted her: Stop talking, just order it, Friday night, Texas Steakhouse

Tunan hung up the phone speechlessly, and lay on the table, sighed, feeling that she was indulged in love with her, and could not refuse her aunt, so she had to refuse others when she met. Tunan was slacking off and finally got off work on Friday night. She was excited and hadn't come yet. Thinking of the blind date, she immediately lost her strength like a frost-made eggplant. However, what should come will always come. She was too lazy to dress herself up, so she went to the appointment in the casual clothes she worked at the Texas Steakhouse imitated American style and made a dark wooden decoration. The fragrance of steak and toast came over, making a big smile on Tunan. When she walked to the agreed position, she found that the person was already waiting for her. She asked tentatively: Mr. Xu?

The man raised his head and smiled, revealing his beautiful dimples: Miss Tu? Hello, I am Xu Congwen. Tunan looked at him unexpectedly. This Mr. Xu is really good-looking. Although he cannot compare with the appearance of four monsters, he is also very fair. He wears a pair of gold-framed glasses and is a bit gentle. When he smiles, he has two dimples. He is a very easy to get close to. Xu Congwen stands up and pulls up the seat for Tunan gentlemanly. Tunan sits down: Sorry, he comes over just after get off work, and hasn't cleaned up. He is rude.

Xu Congwendao: It doesn’t matter, thank you Miss Tu for your appreciation

As the saying goes, you don’t hit people with a smile. The strange ways of rejecting people in Tunan’s mind seem to be inappropriate on the way. She asked tactfully: Mr. Xu, I see you as a handsome talent, why did you come for a blind date?

Xu Congwen smiled kindly: The fate has not come.

The two strangers couldn't find any topic for a while, and the atmosphere fell into a brief silence. Fortunately, the waiter came over in time to ask them what they wanted to order. After breaking the silence, he ordered the order. Tunan took a sip of water and started to make no words again: Mr. Xu, what are you doing?

Xu Congwen smiled bitterly and spread his hands: This may be one of the reasons why I am single so far

Tunan showed a puzzled expression and Xu Congwen continued: I am a doctoral student and research... classical monster novels and legends of monsters. You also know that this aspect is very unpopular and difficult to find a job, so...

Tunan showed a stern expression, and then she began to pour chicken soup subconsciously: Where is it? I think your professionalism is quite interesting

When Xu Congwen heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he showed a slightly excited expression. He rubbed his hands: Do you... do you really think it's interesting?

Tunan felt the atmosphere was a bit weird: Well...ah...yes, it should be very interesting, haha...

Xu Congwen lowered his head and held his glasses. The mirror reflected lights and flashed strangely. Then he raised his head, leaned closer, and asked with a flushed face: Do you believe there are monsters?

Toonan: …

Tunan felt mixed feelings in his heart, and he felt that he had too many evil relationships with monsters recently. Not only did he meet real monsters, but he also had sex with monsters, and he couldn't even avoid a relationship. Maybe the other party is still a fanatical fan of studying monsters, so he had to beat him up: Didn't you say that you are not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the country? Monsters are all legends, right?

Xu Congwen's eyes emitted an excited light. He took the microphone, lights, and stage and began to perform on his own: No! All myths and legends are based on a certain degree of truth. No matter how rich the ancestors' imagination is, they still need to have prototypes, such as the Nine-tailed Fox, a creature recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing", the Song book "Fu Ruizhi" said: White fox, the king's benevolence and wisdom is the most virtue, the birds and beasts, and the Nine-tailed Fox means that as long as the emperor governs the world well and makes people's lives better, the Nine-tailed Fox will appear to repay people and the country for a long time. Therefore, in ancient times, the Nine-tailed Fox actually had a high status and was very noble in its bloodline (Note 1). I have searched through ancient books and inferred that this kind of creature may have existed, and it is closely related to assisting the royal power!

When Tunan heard this, she was choked by the water and coughed suddenly. She thought that it had not only happened before, but now... However, she obviously couldn't tell the truth, so she had to wave her hand: Sorry, you continue

For example, the four widely circulated divine beasts: Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and the other three creatures do not exist in reality. Only the white tiger. There is this animal in the biological world today. Does that mean that the white tiger has something special? Let it be worshipped as a totem? The legendary divine character of the white tiger is the god of war who is in charge of war. According to research, the worship of the white tiger once appeared in the ancient Qiang Rong tribe. To this day, the Yi, Bai, Buyi, Tujia and other ethnic groups in China still call the white tiger its ancestor, and it is believed that the White Tiger Star Lord, who is called Liba and Baidi Heavenly King, came down to earth to give birth to seven men and seven women, and then the later tribe (Note 2)

There are many similar evidences that animals are their ancestors, such as Vermilion Bird. Vermilion Bird is also called Xuanniao. The Book of Songs says: "The Destiny of Heaven, descends to give birth to Shang." In other words, this kind of bird is the Shang Dynasty, which is one of the ancestors of the Han tribes. There are dozens of species in the existing biological world of "black bird". If this bird really exists, is it possible that there is a black bird-shaped creature that combines with humans to give birth to a child, and the Shang Dynasty was established?

Tunan was sweating profusely and asked: How do birds and people have children?

Xu Congwen smiled: "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "Su Shen Ji" all have stories of monsters turning into human bodies. Not only that, legends like "The Legend of the White Snake" also tell the love between humans and monsters. Is there a possibility that in ancient times, there was a way that could make people conceive a demon's child and leave offspring. Later, this method was lost, so most of the stories of humans and monsters falling in love ended with tragedy?

Tunan was obviously shocked by Mr. Xu's imagination. If it weren't for her recent bizarre experience, as an ordinary office worker in modern society, she would only think that this person was an abnormal madman. No wonder he couldn't find a partner. But when he heard what he said was vivid, it was obviously really hard to study. Some Tunan could even prove to him that his guess was right, so Tunan was in awe for a moment: What you said makes sense!

Xu Congwen wanted to continue his passionate speech. Suddenly, Tunan saw a familiar figure in his light. The man walked straight towards them. With Tunan's current eyesight, he could clearly see the small tear mole on the corner of his eyes. Tunan frowned. He thought that he didn't want to see you now, so he got up and planned to pee. Unexpectedly, Xu Congwen suddenly became excited and grabbed Tunan's hand: Miss Tu, do you really think what I said makes sense? OK... Many people think I'm crazy. You believe me, right?

With just one sentence, Huilin had already walked up to the front of him quickly. He didn't see how he moved, so he pulled Xu Congwen's hand off. Then he looked at his long arms and hugged Tunan in his arms and sat down. When he was not on the podium, he was a typical slut, crossing his legs, supporting his chin with one hand, and the hand holding Tunan's waist was still moving downward: Oh! Who is this? Nannan, you asked a friend to come out for dinner, but you didn't tell me? I'm so worried about you

Although Xu Congwen was excited, he was not really stupid. He looked at Ling Huilin's monster appearance and the postures of the two of them. He widened his eyes, stretched out his fingers, and said tremblingly: You... do you have a partner and still have a blind date?

When Ling Huilin heard this, his breathing became lower. He turned his head and looked at Tunan, narrowing his eyes dangerously: Blind date?

Tunan's head hurts. At this moment, she really didn't know whether she should use Ling Huilin to throw away Xu Congwen or use Xu Congwen to throw away Ling Huilin. She just wanted to quietly let Huilin look at Tunan with his head down, ignoring him and answering. She had a little doubt in her heart, but now the main goal is to dispel the trouble-hindering thing in front of her, so he tightened his arms, hugged the girl tighter, made a possessive position, and then changed the target and asked: Sir, are you... your surname?

Xu Congwen was resentful, but he sat back on the stool with his mentality of fighting for a breath of people and Buddhas for an incense stick, saying: Xu Congwen, are you?

My surname is Ling, we are together...well... It's been more than a month. I've met for the first time. I'll take care of you.

Small theater

Nan Nan: So can humans and demons have children?

Xu Congwen: I think it is feasible!
