After everyone started eating, they all looked at Xiao Bing in surprise and praised him one after another.
Chu Bei nodded repeatedly and ate the food. Dai Xueman also picked up the food one after another. While eating, she couldn't help but praise, "Xiao Jun, I've never seen a man who can cook as well as you. In fact, there are very few men who can cook."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Yes, how is it?"
"It's delicious. It's the best I've ever eaten." Dai Xueman sighed, "Generally, men think that cooking is not something they should do. Cooking is very embarrassing for men. Why do you want to cook?"
Xiao Bing laughed and said, "It's just cooking. How can it be elevated to such a high level? In fact, eating is not just for filling one's stomach. It is also a kind of enjoyment. So if you know a craft, you can occasionally cook for yourself. "
Dai Xueman murmured, "Not just for filling one's stomach, but also for enjoyment … But most men think that these small aspects of life are a way to numb themselves. They are a way to abandon themselves. Once they learn to enjoy, they will begin to degenerate. So no man is willing to spend any energy on this kind of thing. "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Is life just to constantly improve the realm? From the acquired to the innate? From the Elixir-strength Stage to the Divine Realm? And then continue to improve? Until death? Then what is the meaning of life? Is there any difference between humans and animals? "
Xiao Bing's words stunned them.
Xiao Bing said, "Animals live to constantly hunt for food, constantly become stronger, and constantly hunt for new food, day after day, until they die. If people live only to constantly improve, what's the difference between them and animals?"
"This …" Dai Xueman hesitated for a moment.
Xiao Bing said, "The biggest essential difference between humans and animals is that animals can only live repeatedly, while humans can live more colorful lives. They will have their own love, friendship, family, career, entertainment … This is a person's life. In fact, we should not just live, but live our own life and learn to live. "
Everyone repeated Xiao Bing's words over and over again. Li Ling'er was the first to laugh and said, "I think brother Xiao is right. It's exactly what I have always thought."
Xiao Bing smiled. This heartless Li Ling'er was indeed the most like a human. She was always happy every day. She was not so competitive, but not too calculative. At the same time, she was very easy-going and not arrogant at all. So Xiao Bing had always taken care of Li Ling'er, just like the middle-grade spiritual weapon. He felt that it was not tiring to talk to Li Ling'er.
Dai Xueman quickly nodded with a smile. Zhang Xinxin smiled slightly. In fact, Zhang Xinxin naturally did not understand Xiao Bing's thoughts, but she now wanted to get on well with Xiao Bing. Seeing that Li Ling'er and Xiao Bing were so compatible, Zhang Xinxin's sense of urgency immediately rose in her heart.
Chu Bei raised his head and saw that they were still talking. He immediately said with a smile, "If you guys don't eat, I'll eat them all. It's so delicious!"
When everyone saw Chu Bei gobbling down his food, they all laughed together.
At the beginning of the meal, everyone was a little reserved. After all, Dai Xueman was a teacher in the academy. However, after a few glasses of wine, everyone began to relax and chatted more and more enthusiastically. They were not the least bit reserved in front of Dai Xueman. As a result, everyone drank more and more. After the meal, they all found their own rooms and moved in.
Xiao Bing was a little dizzy and was about to go back to his room to sleep. But he saw that Zhang Xinxin was still there cleaning the table.
Zhang Xinxin was also a little drunk. She seemed to have something on her mind. Maybe it was because her temperament was originally cold, so she didn't talk much during the meal, but she drank a lot of wine.
Xiao Bing walked over and said softly, "Go to rest. Clean up tomorrow morning … uh …"
Before Xiao Bing finished speaking, Zhang Xinxin directly threw herself on Xiao Bing. She held Xiao Bing's arm and her whole body collapsed in Xiao Bing's arms. She looked drunk and murmured, "Brother Xiao Jun, do you hate me very much … Do you hate me very much?"
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly. At this time, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. It was not good to let others come out and send Zhang Xinxin back to her room. In addition, Zhang Xinxin was a little drunk at this time. It would not be good if she talked nonsense and caused everyone to misunderstand.
Xiao Bing had to find a way by himself. He smiled bitterly and said, "Absolutely not. How can I hate you? Didn't I say before that if I hated you, I wouldn't have invited you to my home. You are drunk. Let me take you back to your room."
Xiao Bing supported Zhang Xinxin and found the remaining empty room. He helped her walk in, and then directly picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed.
Xiao Bing breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to go out, he saw Zhang Xinxin suddenly lying on the bed and crying.
Xiao Bing hurriedly closed the door, walked over and said with a bitter smile, "Don't cry, my lady. If they hear it outside, they will think that I bullied you!"
Zhang Xinxin wiped her tears and said, "It's … it's none of your business. You go back. I … I can do it myself."
Xiao Bing said with a bitter smile, "You girls are so terrible when you are drunk. Aren't you usually very cold? Why are you crying?"
"Who said that a cold and aloof girl won't cry?" Zhang Xinxin said while wiping her tears, "And why am I cold? Isn't it because I feel inferior?"
Xiao Bing looked at Zhang Xinxin and could feel that Zhang Xinxin felt sad from the bottom of her heart. It did not seem like she was acting. Xiao Bing could not help but smile bitterly and said, "God, why do you need to feel inferior? Look at you. You are very beautiful, have a good figure, and temperament … From the appearance, you are already superior among women, right? "
Zhang Xinxin glanced at Xiao Bing, but she was still wiping her tears.
Xiao Bing continued, "Even from the aspect of talent, you are definitely a very talented type. At the age of 18, you have reached the middle stage of Gang-strength. Even Chu Bei and Li Ling 'er are not as talented as you. Do you still need to feel inferior?"
Although Zhang Xinxin was not among the top in the first grade, there was definitely no problem for her to be in the top ten, so Xiao Bing was not talking nonsense.
Zhang Xinxin shook her head and said, "You don't understand what I mean. You don't know what I have experienced."
Seeing that Zhang Xinxin was still crying, Xiao Bing was really afraid that Zhang Xinxin would be drunk. It was better to find a way to comfort Zhang Xinxin first. Xiao Bing hurriedly said, "Then tell me your story, and I will be your listener, okay?"
Zhang Xinxin wiped her tears, looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "Are you willing to listen?"
"Yes!"
"Why should I tell you?"
Xiao Bing, "…"
This lass was quite drunk!
Xiao Bing began to wonder if he should help her sober up first. But before he had time to do anything, Zhang Xinxin began to speak, "Our Zhang family is also considered to be among the top ten families in Zhen Wu City. Although it is not comparable to the top five families, it is still a first-class family second only to the top five families."
Xiao Bing said, "Oh, another family romance?"
Zhang Xinxin said, "My grandfather has two sons. One is my second uncle, and the other is my father. But my father did not even have the slightest talent for martial arts. He was bullied by my second uncle since he was a child. When he grew up, the position of the patriarch was taken by my second uncle."
Xiao Bing sighed. This story felt a little similar to the life of his apprentice, but it was also different. Fang Yuanyuan's father was still very talented in martial arts, but he just wanted to enter politics. The reason why Fang Yuanyuan's family was dissatisfied with their family was mainly because her father had two daughters, while Zhang Xinxin was dissatisfied because her father was a good-for-nothing.
Zhang Xinxin continued, "After my father's position was taken away, he was kicked out of the family and became an ordinary rich man. At that time, I was only six years old. Although I was young, I already had an impression of those things. But because my father was spoiled by the big family since he was a child, his strength had not even reached the innate level, so he had no source of income. Although our family is still supporting now, we have been living by selling the family property these years."
Xiao Bing said, "Actually, there is no need for you to cry about those things at home now. You are already capable and can make money to support your family."
"Yes, but it is not enough … far from enough … My father was kicked out of the family. That year, I was six years old. Then I saw my mother push my father down with my own eyes, and then she was held in the arms of my uncle. My uncle married her and made her his concubine!"
Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment. This was a little too much. No wonder Zhang Xinxin was so cold. If it was any other child, they would not be able to bear such a heavy blow.
Zhang Xinxin sneered and said, "No, she is not my mother. She is just a bitch, a bitch!"
Xiao Bing could not see any warmth in Zhang Xinxin's eyes, but only a deep-rooted hatred.
Xiao Bing sighed and did not know how to comfort her. In fact, it was easy to comfort her. But if you had not experienced what happened to her, you would not know how much trauma was left in her heart, especially for a delicate girl. How could this kind of trauma be wiped away with a few words?
Zhang Xinxin clenched her fists and said, "From then on, everything in our family collapsed, and the whole world changed!"
