Vol 2 Chapter 17: dog walk cat

After that, Russell and Delphinium did not discuss some heavy stuff.

They deliberately changed the topic, discussing some anecdotes in daily life and work, as well as offensive skills under several typical forms of network defense.

But at that time, Delphinium also said some words that can be remembered deeply by Russell...

For example... when the two discussed the inferior, Delphinium persuaded Russell very seriously:

"In fact, at the beginning, I was very worried about conflicts between you."

"... Me? How could that be?" Russell asked in confusion, "The inferior one acts frankly, and the most important thing is to know the technique of self-criticism. This is a friend worthy of trust and friendship."

Otherwise, Russell would not consider helping the poor get rid of the shackles of "fate" on him.

Unlike his immature appearance, Russell is not such an enthusiastic, carefree young man who wants to save everyone.

Perhaps in his previous life, when he was a teenager, he would have had the same thought. But when he grew up, he knew it was impossible.

Because people's interests are in conflict in many cases. This is precisely the animal nature of human beings - in the struggle against the outside world, there is always a struggle against the inside. Whether it is fighting against the outside world or against the inside, the essence is to allow yourself to survive better and for the continuation of future generations.

In the struggle against the outside world—enemies, nature, disasters, etc., people are so noble that they are willing to sacrifice. This is the instinct to continue the species; but when dealing with the same race, the same kind, fellow countrymen, classmates, and colleagues internally, they will be like that Vile and cruel. This is the instinct for the continuation of the "self" imprint within the population.

The social nature of human beings...the country, laws, morals, and rules exist precisely to resist this animal nature.

And this world is completely different from the last one.

In this world, people more or less have animal characteristics, animal instincts, and animal temperaments. The social constraints are reduced to the weakest.

Comparing the two worlds, among the overwhelming wild instincts... the animal nature, goodness, and viciousness that belong to human beings are so prominent and remarkable.

— doesn't make a difference.

Russell has such a clear understanding.

In this case, you can always be aware of your own shortcomings, don't blame others for your own mistakes, and are willing to take responsibility bravely... At the same time, you also have the awareness of self-sacrifice and the persistence to fight against an invincible enemy .

The bad ones are already quite good people.

It's a friend you can make.

"That's because you have a kindness in yourself."

Delphinium replied like this at the time: "You may not feel it yourself. But the temper of the inferior is actually quite annoying... because he always points out the faults of others, and he never knows how to be tactful. The inferior Because of his personality, he is prone to conflict with others. When he gives advice, he always fails to give advice... Over time, even wise people will avoid him and dare not ask him for guidance.

"It seems that he is too self-centered... Many people will think so. But in the end, it is just his own confusion passed on to others."

"In my opinion, it's rather the opposite."

Russell shook his head, and was delighted by delphinium's habit of analyzing others: "In my opinion, it is precisely because the inferior person does not take his own existence seriously. There is a kind of self-defeating in his heart." Self-destructive desire, which allows him to take pleasure in the pain of self-criticism."

"That comes from the inferiority complex deep in his heart."

Delphinium pointed out the root cause of the inferior nature: "Although people have to use low self-esteem as a springboard to jump higher and farther. But after he jumps up, he will never forget to step on that place in his life. The tactile feel on the springboard.

"Because of this, the essence of his anger is confusion, and the essence of his arrogance is low self-esteem. He is a very good and sensible child, but he still lacks an opportunity for him to grow up... If he says out of anger If you are rude, I hope you can bear with him for two days. If he says something wrong, he will definitely apologize to you within two days...usually within the same day. "

"I'll let him. With that guy's personality, he's not stingy with digging out cancerous tumors in his flesh. I don't have any doubts about apologizing for his wrongdoings and making up for this behavior."

Russell nodded and readily agreed.

It is precisely because he admires the character of the inferior that he regards him as a friend.

And once he regards the inferior as a friend, Russell can no longer turn a blind eye to his painful fate.

…But speaking of it, Russell senses a subtle sense of dislocation.

The underdog is half a year older than Russell—his age is the oldest in the Special Operations Department.

But now Russell and Delphinium are seriously discussing such things as "let the children order at ordinary times" and "give the children some space for self-reflection".

I have to say that this caused Russell to have a wonderful illusion: as if the inferior was the child of the two.

But Russell soon felt guilty about the vision.

—It’s not roommates who live together, and it’s not yet a father-son relationship...

The delphinium ended up eating twice Russell's ration of roast. Oddly enough, delphiniums don't look fat...and average build.

This made Russell wonder if it was someone who had a problem with eating...it was actually him?

At the final checkout, Russell originally wanted to have an AA with Delphinium, but was told that Delphinium had already settled the bill.

Although I came here with the idea of ​​eating and drinking at first, I was really invited. It still made Russell a little uncomfortable.

But the delphinium just laughed it off, stretched out two hands, and grabbed both of Russell's ears at the same time: "Then it will be fine when you invite me back next time? As long as you don't think I eat more It would be nice if you had more..."

"...well, that's sure to be fine."

Russell subconsciously raised his head and rubbed delphinium's hand, the soft and fluffy cat ears slipped out from delphinium's fingertips and jumped away.

Afterwards, Russell nodded slightly, and agreed: "When I find a delicious restaurant, I will take you to eat - it doesn't matter if you have a few more meals!"

Although they meet every day... and almost every day the bad guys go to the next door to help in the executive department, and Russell and Delphinium hang up in the office.

But the small talk in the workplace, between colleagues... is very different from the atmosphere of chatting and laughing at the dinner table and in the private space today.

Although it feels like the relationship hasn't gotten that close yet.

But just eating together, Russell will feel very happy ~www.wuxiahere.com~ That's not okay, next time I will invite you. After all, I eat more than you, wouldn't it be a loss if you invite one person once? "

The delphinium smiled, turned sideways, and gently tugged Russell's tail with her fluffy and fluffy tail: "You think so?"

Russell subconsciously dodged his tail, and when he wanted to catch it back, the delphinium turned around and grabbed Russell's forearm.

"Don't even think about running," Delphinium said with a straight face, "snack for food first. It's not good for your stomach if you go straight back to sleep."

"...ah, all right."

Russell's inner thoughts were immediately seen through, and his ears drooped.

He just felt that he was a little full from eating, feeling dizzy and sleepy, and wanted to go home immediately and fall asleep.

But Delphinium still took Russell out for a couple of laps.

In case Russell wanted to run away, she kept telling jokes and interesting topics to hook him.

It was estimated that Russell had almost digested it, and he happened to be near Russell's residence. Then she put Russell back.

"I'm going back to the company, Kitten."

After going out for a walk, Delphinium, who had obviously become more energetic, smiled at Russell and said, "Then, see you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow!"

Russell, who had been slipped away to the point where he didn't want to sleep, smiled and waved while rubbing his stomach.

He thought in his heart: "You also know that my soul relative is a cat... how can I come out to walk the cat if I have nothing to do?"

Russell had fantastic visions—like a Samoyed cat on a leash, coming out for a nap.

Although the cat always wanted to turn around and go home, it was dragged back by Samoyed every time.

...Although I don't have the habit of taking a walk, it doesn't look too bad now.
