Chapter 809 Want to make friends?
"I used to be a friendless guy. For a long time, I was all alone. I didn't want to make friends. I thought socializing would make my life less prioritized. For a long time, I chose to be quiet..."
I took another sip of the scholar's afternoon tea in front of me. The familiar bitterness was now tinged with a hint of sweetness, as if the bitterness had finally ended and sweetness had finally arrived...
"And how did you become so popular?"
It seemed like the other person had finally found something of interest. I was curious about how popular interpersonal communication was. It was difficult for many people, especially for scholars who were deeply immersed in their research...
"For a long time, the only way I could deal with loneliness was to quietly accept myself. There was no way to change it. The only thing I could do was to be quiet..."
He said this calmly, and the other person seemed to be infected by his mood. There was an innumerable look in his eyes, some pity. Humph, are you pitying me? Well, I might have been worthy of pity in the past, but not now.
"Your past was also very painful..."
"I started trying to make friends, but it was difficult. I arrived in a new place where no one knew me and no one knew my past. I began trying to be authentic and make friends, and I found friends who were willing to understand me, to listen, and to be with me. I was also willing to slowly tolerate my bad temper, at least to avoid letting my friends see my worst side."
"Um... is it Mond?"
"Yeah! Everyone in Mond is very friendly. I felt like I didn't fit in at first, but they were all very nice. I started talking to them and slowly trying to communicate with them, and the results were very good. Many times, the opportunities for communication were actually better than I imagined, but I just didn't dare to do it. Many times, I could say it out loud, but I just didn't want to. I felt very scared because I didn't dare to say it..."
After he finished speaking, the other party was stunned for a long time, as if thinking seriously, and squeezed the cup even tighter. Nuolinxi picked up a small piece of sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted very good. There was lettuce, tomato, egg, and ham inside. Raw lettuce was his favorite taste.
Some places add cheese to it, and the taste of cheese will bring a good complement, and the tip of the tongue is a mixture of various flavors, which is very good...
Concentrating on tasting the sandwich in front of him, the other party seemed to have come to a conclusion after some hesitation.
"Please tell me how to deal with interpersonal relationships! From now on, I won't write to you so often and bother you... For a long time, I had no one to talk to, so I kept writing to you. I'm so sorry for causing you trouble. I unknowingly made you so unhappy. I didn't mean to do this, but I'm really lonely..." A lonely genius. The other party was not the kind of aloof academic master, but he really tried to find a way to deal with other people's relationships, but he couldn't succeed...
This name is very familiar. After all, people often say this name. The owner of this name must be a very powerful person, isn't he?
People always said this guy was too aloof and unwilling to talk to others, which was one of the reasons for his visit. The other party's letter didn't ask students questions, but seemed to be desperately seeking to share...
He wanted to share his life, but there was no one, no one with whom he could share the joys and sorrows of life. The other person's parents were not around, so there was no way...
"Let me tell you about it. It's been like this for a long time. Can you tell me how you deal with daily interpersonal relationships? After all, only in this way can I understand what you are missing..."
Speaking softly, the other party finally felt more relaxed. You need to be persuasive step by step and talk to the other person slowly, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable, isn't it?
"I will take the initiative to talk to them, hoping that they can talk to me more..."
"What would you say?"
“They invited me out to eat…”
"Go ahead. I'm listening."
"Of course I can join you. If you have any questions, you can tell me. After all, my grades are very good, so I can answer any questions you want to know."
"...Your tone is a bit too condescending. If you insist on saying it, it might come across as unapproachable. They might think you're bragging about your achievements. When you ask them this, you can just agree directly. If you want to be more approachable, you can offer to help you with your meal or something like that..."
“…I don’t have that much…”
"Don't worry, I'll treat you to dinner today. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Just tell me and I can make you some more. You haven't had a good meal in a while, have you? You must have been drinking yesterday. I can smell the alcohol on you, it's quite strong..."
The other person had indeed been drinking, and the smell of alcohol on his body was too strong. Although he had changed his clothes, he could still smell it clearly. After all, his perception of smell is better than that of most people, isn't it?
"Um, I'm so sorry... I do drink a little on Friday night... Not too much, just a glass of fruit wine, a special blend, a wheat wine... and a high-proof puree..."
"Is this really normal? Do you spend most of your money on alcohol?"
If the other person is a drunkard, there is no need to do so, but does he seem to be a guy who only gets drunk occasionally and only indulges for one day?
"Well, it's not that I didn't spend all my money on drinking. The reason I was treated to drinks on Fridays was because I had a part-time job on Sundays during my free time. The boss would hold a party on Fridays, so he would allow all the service staff to drink after the guests left..."
"Oh, is that the boss? This is indeed what he likes to do. After the guests finish the party, there will be a lot of opened wine that will be wasted if not consumed. Did you drink a little too much last time?"
"...Um...I don't usually drink too much. I just drank too much yesterday. To be honest, I'm a little dizzy..."
It’s not good to drink too much alcohol at once. Alcohol will make people act weird and uncomfortable, right?
"Listen to me, drink in moderation. Drinking too much is not good."
