Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Look, this is art."

When Yemo told Ruhua that the painting he brought back that day was evaluated as a low-level entry-level work by Kang Qirui, Ruhua was initially very unconvinced. But when Yemo told him that Kang Qirui was a member of the Artists Association and the Calligraphy and Painting Association in Guangzhou and even across the country, she knew that she could not win the argument with him in terms of painting.

In order to defend his title as an artist, he thought over and over and decided to perform a performance art for the Kang family. He wore a military coat on his upper body and a pair of colorful jeans on his lower body, and stood in the living room of the Kang family with his hands clasped tightly. The wild model was blown up immediately.

The second sister-in-law laughed and said, "It's very hot today, but wearing a military coat on a hot day is an art, right?"

Ruhua slowly opened her military coat, revealing a body covered in bandages and a cage. Seeing him like this, everyone had different reactions. Everyone in the Kang family looked at him curiously, while Yemo asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

"She's still seriously injured." Zhu Wanling smiled. She has been a nurse for 10 years and can see that Ruhua is not injured.

Ruhua ignored them all. He looked around and walked to A-Zu. He took A-Zu's hand and put it inside his military coat. He asked, "What do you feel?"

A-Zu was a little panicked at first, but slowly he felt something soft coming from his hand. "I feel a lot of hair." He suddenly stretched out his hand and took a step back. "Why is it biting? What is it?"

Huh? Everyone was a little panicked when they heard what A Zu said. Ruhua didn't care about Yemo who was obviously scared. She pulled Yemo's hand and put it into his arms. Yemo was so scared that he shouted in panic: "What are you doing? Let go." Ruhua shook her head and let go of Yemo's hand, and took the cage out of his arms. Everyone could see clearly that it was a black rabbit.

"My heart is just like this rabbit, beating non-stop, beating non-stop." Ruhua muttered nervously. A Yao teased him, "You might as well bring a deer instead of a rabbit. The deer's heart beats harder than a rabbit's."

"Don't you know? Everyone has a beating heart." Ruhua said so. Erlao snorted and interrupted him: "Are you talking to me with your lungs? Of course the human heart beats. If it doesn't beat, you'll die."

Ruhua was not affected by Er Lao at all and continued her speech: "For pain, for joy, and even more for love, my heart is beating wildly." As he spoke, he half-knelt in front of the wild model and raised the cage as if handing a ring, but the rabbit in the cage did not beat as he wished.

"Jump, jump, just jump." Ruhua kept hitting the cage, becoming more and more excited. "Cooperate with my performance art, just jump." He was so excited that he opened the cage, grabbed the rabbit and was about to throw it to the ground. Kang Qirui caught it quickly. He called Tianxiu to give the rabbit to him and take it inside to raise it with his sisters.

He directly deprived Ruhua of her ownership of the rabbit. He said to Ruhua, "This is not performance art. This is animal abuse. We don't welcome you here. Go away."

Ruhua put away the cage, pulled up the wild model and said, "Let's go! These people don't understand art and have no culture."

Of course Yemo would not go with him. She shook off Ruhua's hand and shouted, "Get out!" Ruhua was stunned for a moment. After looking at Yemo twice, she saw that Yemo turned his back and ignored him, so he left by himself.

"I just don't understand why there are so many counterfeit and shoddy products nowadays?" After driving Ruhua away, everyone was silent. Xianglan was the first to break the silence, "The first one is fake, and the second one is also fake."

Kang Qirui shook his head and said, "Strictly speaking, we can't say that this Ruhua is fake. Artists all have strange personalities. I tell you, most art masters are mentally ill."

Ah? After hearing what Kang Qirui said, everyone became curious, especially the second sister-in-law who was extremely gossipy and asked Kang Qirui to tell the story behind it. Kang Qirui said, "Then let me give you an example. You have all heard of Van Gogh, right? He was paranoid, nervous, and irritable. He didn't have money to buy roses for his girlfriend, so he cut off his own ears as a gift."

After hearing this, the second sister-in-law sighed and said, "Compared to him, it seems that Ruhua is still a normal person?"

Kang Qirui nodded and smiled, "The British newspaper The Guardian once published a study finding that artists and schizophrenia patients have similar genes. In a survey of 782 famous artists, 83% of them were extremely mentally ill, and only 6.5% were healthy. Great artists often suffer from schizophrenia."

Everyone looked at each other in silence for a long time. The wild model said with fear on her face: "Oh my God, who dares to find an artist as a boyfriend?" Kang Qirui shrugged. This had nothing to do with him.

A few days later, when everyone was still worried about Ye Mo's future and the writer's unsuccessful pursuit of Ye Mo, Ye Mo brought a man to Kang's house. Before they could say anything, the writer received the news and rushed to Kang's house.

"Who is it?" As soon as the writer entered the room, he saw the man holding the wild model's hand and reading her palm. He was completely anxious, "Who introduced this thing to her?"

"Don't be angry, listen to me, this is none of our business. The wild model went to find it herself." It was the first time that the second sister-in-law saw the writer so angry, and she quickly stood up to distance herself from the matter.

"Yes, sister, I found it myself, so what?" The wild model glared at the writer and said with a cold face.

The writer became even angrier when he heard her speak like this, "What else? Today I want you to know what it means that life is precious, but love is more precious, but if it is for love, both can be thrown away." As he spoke, he excitedly put his foot on the chair, as if he was going to jump up with the help of the chair.

The second sister-in-law quickly grabbed him and said, "Big brother, please don't die here. You'll make this place dirty. If you want to die, go outside and die. Please."

"By the way, throw it outside, don't do it here." The wild model still looked like she didn't like the writer. The writer was so angry that he wanted to go over and argue with her, but the second sister-in-law and Zhu Wanling were afraid that he would do something exciting, so they stood in front of him to stop him. After the second sister-in-law persuaded the writer, Zhu Wanling turned around and said to the man, "It's like this, this gentleman has a good impression of Rumeng, but Rumeng doesn't like him. Do you understand what I mean?"

The man nodded and smiled, "I see." He looked at the writer and asked, "What's your zodiac sign? Let me analyze it for you."

The man meant to ask the writer what zodiac sign he belonged to, but the writer didn't respond. He put his hands on his hips and said, "I don't sit here. Only turtles sit here."

"Hey? Why are you swearing? I was just asking kindly what your zodiac sign is." said the man.

The writer continued to misunderstand: "If I say no, then I won't sit. Don't try to get close to me. I'm telling you, you're almost there when you play this with me."

"Is there something wrong with you?" The wild model couldn't stand it anymore and defended her new boyfriend, "People asked you what your zodiac sign is."

"Okay, okay, no need to ask. He must be a Capricorn." The man concluded immediately: "Impulsiveness is the first, and the temper is the first." Capricorn is Capricorn, because Capricorn's star map is a goat's head and a fish's tail, so it is also called Capricorn. The writer understood now, he snorted and said: "Your grandfather is a Capricorn, I am a Taurus."

"You don't look like a Taurus at all. Taurus is supposed to be stable first, but you're not only unstable but also a bit rude." The man said with disgust, but there was nothing wrong with what he said. From the writer's perspective today, it was indeed very rude.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo laughed and said, "I think he was born into the wrong family."

"What did you say?" the writer said angrily.

"It doesn't look like you were born in the wrong womb." The man moved his fingers and pretended to calculate, then said, "But you were born ten days late, so it's possible that you were stuck in your mother's belly for a while. By the way, were you born at the end of April?"

This is a bit far-fetched. Capricorn is 12.22-01.09, while Taurus is 04.20-05.20. Even if you were born ten days later, you can't change from Capricorn to Taurus. The writer said speechlessly: "I was born when I like, what's it to you?"

Seeing him like this, the man was not angry. He just smiled and said to the wild model: "Did you see? Taurus people are more stubborn and unreasonable, not like you Aquarius at all."

"How about Aquarius?" asked the wild model.

"You are studious, unique, and insightful. You are the representative of the new human race." The wild model was delighted when she heard this. She clapped her hands and said to the writer proudly, "Did you hear that? I am a person of the new era. What about you? You should go home and work."

"Writing on the grid" means writing one word at a time on gridded manuscript paper. It describes hard work and also refers to the identity of a writer.

The man was still talking. "Since you are Miss Rumeng's neighbor, I'll give you a few more words. You should find friends like Taurus, Cancer, Pisces, etc., who may be more suitable. As for Aquarius like Miss Rumeng, they are more suitable for me, not for you."

"I'm telling you, I'm a dinosaur." The writer was stopped by his second sister-in-law and couldn't face the man and the wild model directly. He could only jump up and shout in anger: "You have no right to control what kind of friends I make."

"With such a stubborn personality, I'm sure he rarely interacts with outsiders." The man asserted again.

The wild model clapped her hands and agreed, "You are absolutely right, you are worthy of being a psychologist." It turned out that the boyfriend the wild model found this time was a psychologist. The wild model continued, "He just stays at home all day and writes crappy articles. Did you see that? This is called knowledge." The last sentence was directed at the writer.

"Oh my goodness, if this is called knowledge, I would have become a world-famous writer long ago." The writer was totally dismissive of this. In his eyes, the so-called psychologist was just reading from a book and reciting the so-called horoscope analysis.

He glanced at Ye Mo and the man and walked away. He had completely lost his feelings for Ye Mo, and his second sister-in-law was afraid that he would be upset, so she chased him out and said, "Don't be upset and do something stupid." The writer nodded and waved his hand, saying, "I won't commit suicide."

The second sister-in-law was relieved after watching the writer walk back to Zhu's house. When she was about to turn back and walk home, she ran into the second brother and Kang Qirui coming back together. She said, "Hurry up, the wild model brought her boyfriend back again. He is a psychologist and is very accurate in analyzing other people's personalities."

Er Lao and Kang Qirui looked at each other and became curious. This wild model hadn't had a boyfriend for the past two years, but she found three boyfriends in a row in the past few days?

As soon as Er Lao and Kang Qirui entered the room, Ye Mo saw them. Ye Mo smiled and said, "Boss Kang and Professor Kang are back? Hey, look at Boss Kang's personality. He's a big businessman and knows how to greet people."

The psychologist carefully observed the second brother's face and said, "He? He has a pointy head and narrow forehead, not a noble character. If he is not a nightshade seller, he must be a garbage collector. Just look at his chin and you will know that he is destined to be a beggar."

Er Lao didn't care at all after hearing this. People will only break down if they are predicted correctly. Of course Er Lao wasn't angry because the man was not accurate at all. He smiled and said, "Sir, it seems that you are not reading my fortune, but casting a spell on me."

The psychologist said confidently, "Brother, who is the closest to you? I dare say that person is definitely not a good person." The second sister-in-law nodded as if watching a play. The second brother smiled and said, "Hey? He is talking about you. Sir, I am the closest to her. She has slept with me for ten years."

"Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm not a good person?" The second sister-in-law slammed the table and scolded the second brother. The second brother looked innocent and said, "It wasn't me who said that. It was him who said that."

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong." The psychologist stood up to stop the two people from arguing. "It's like this, everyone is different. Look at this handsome guy, he is so dignified and has an extraordinary aura. He must be rich or noble." The last sentence was said to Kang Qirui.

After listening to this, Kang Qirui smiled and said, "I don't think you are a psychologist. You are just a fortune teller." Kang Qirui didn't have a good impression of this man. He dared to speak wildly to the second brother and his wife in the Kang family. He didn't think he was a good person.

"It's just a hobby." The psychologist smiled. "Foreign countries have astrology, and we have the Book of Changes. Psychology is also a part of it. This is called division."

"Division?" Kang Qirui continued, "I heard that psychology is divided into consumer psychology, management psychology, social psychology, criminal psychology, etc. You analyze a person's personality and destiny through horoscopes and physiognomy. Which psychology division do you belong to?"

The psychologist hesitated to speak, too embarrassed to look Kang Qirui in the eye. Yemo felt something was wrong as soon as he saw it, "What's going on? Are you a liar too? What do you do?"

"Listen to my explanation, Ru Meng." The psychologist waved his hands and said defensively, "Actually, I am very interested in psychology, but there is no such major in the university. It's not my fault."

Kang Qirui interrupted directly: "Many schools have psychology majors. South China Normal University even opened this major in the 1950s. At your age, if you really want to study psychology when you are in college, there are many schools you can apply to."

The man was completely speechless. Yemo stood up and cursed excitedly: "Get out of here right now. You deliberately lied to me and still want to date me? Get out, get out of here right now."

"Stop it, people say that a husband and wife will be grateful to each other for a hundred days after they marry, not to mention that we have been doing it for three days." The man said shockingly. (End of this chapter)
