Chapter 1469 He Chen: Let's go out for drinks and learn a foreign language! Foreign languages ​​are good, we have to learn them!
Shen Lei dialed He Chen's number, feeling both expectant and apprehensive.

"Okay, you set up a table nearby, and I'll come over and have a drink with you."

He Chen readily agreed.

Like Shen Lei, he had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Seeing Shen Lei in the craft circle was a pleasant surprise, saving him the trouble of finding another opportunity to contact him.

As for why we contacted the other party?
Ever since he met Li Xiaoyue, he knew that this integrated film and television world was a fusion of the TV series "Ordinary People's Song".

Since there is a song for mortals, when he thought of the original plot, his mind immediately became confused.

In order to better cultivate immortality, he must have a clear mind and let these foolish mortals know what true mortal cultivation is!

So he took the initiative to befriend Shen Lei.

Of course, compared to the many people in his previous life who cursed Shen Lei, saying that "every pitiful person has something hateful about them," and called him a good-for-nothing, and that "if it were Xie Meilan, she would treat Shen Lei the same way," He Chen's impression of Shen Lei was positive.

Ultimately, this is just another Shi Xiaomeng!
Born into an ordinary family, a top student in a small town, he was always the pride of his hometown. He managed to stay in Beijing on his own, became a civil servant, and started a family.

As a result, he encountered an inhuman wife and bullying from a wealthy local in Beijing, and was brutally humiliated by reality. He broke down and lost everything.

Unlike Shi Xiaomeng and others who turned to the dark side, Shen Lei chose to escape. He first withdrew from the world to cultivate his mind. Even in his most painful moments, he still habitually did good deeds and acts of kindness. Later, he went to teach in rural areas to cultivate himself. What is this?
This is exactly the kind of talent He Chen values!
The only thing He Chen found repulsive was that he didn't turn evil at all, and he didn't even have the desire for revenge. He just kept running away and watched the adulterous couple. This was even more disgusting than the forced whitewashing and dumpling-making at the end of every TV series!
This is not even worth acting!
Adulterers and adulteresses will always have a good ending!

What is this for?
You're finally dropping the pretense and laying your cards on the table, aren't you!
This really gave He Chen the feeling that the dwarf Jin Guang Shangren, who was clearly very short and ugly, was protected by several magical artifacts and talismans, allowing mortals to attack him at will. Even the most powerful mortals could not break through his golden light shield, and could only watch him look down on them and call them stupid mortals.

Otherwise, the Legend of Mortal Cultivation wouldn't have been such a huge hit!
Even in the world of cultivation, the underlying logic is still very realistic!
Finding pleasure within logic is infinitely more sophisticated and enjoyable than forcing pleasure without any logic.

In the song "Ordinary People," setting aside the fantastical romance of a domineering CEO falling in love with an older, divorced woman who had an abortion, the adulterers and adulterous women actually have a good ending, which is quite realistic!
Murder and set fire to the gold belt, repair the bridge and repair the road without corpses.

But what's even more frustrating is that it leaves one feeling unsatisfied and unable to accept the situation!
He Chen cultivates immortality, and is a fellow disciple of Han Tianzun, a direct descendant of Qingbo Cave in Huangfeng Valley. He cultivates the ability to achieve perfect enlightenment!

If we don't run into each other, that's fine too.

Now that we've encountered this situation, we must be open-minded and understanding!

He's not like Han Paopao, who's weak and just running around; he's He Tianzun, who went straight into the tape machine!

"Okay!" As soon as Shen Lei heard about drinking, he instinctively wanted to invite He Chen to his home. Firstly, he had recently improved his cooking skills and was confident that he could cook a few dishes to go with the drinks. Secondly, cooking himself would save money.

He was already quite frugal, but after spending all his savings and incurring debt to treat his mother-in-law's illness, he became even more frugal.

It's worth saving a little bit.

But when he glanced at his own window upstairs and remembered the force with which his wife had slammed the door shut as she entered the house, he immediately abandoned the idea.

Let's go out and invite He Chen.

Even if you're frugal, you can still afford to treat someone to a meal.

Besides, He Chen was someone he admired, and he had helped him a lot in restoring the files, so it was worth it for him to ask him for help.

With that in mind, he readily agreed and found a reasonably priced restaurant nearby, where he waited for He Chen to arrive.

When He Chen arrived, he was still sitting there in a daze. Only after He Chen greeted him did he come back to his senses, adjust his glasses, and exchange some warm greetings, telling He Chen to order whatever he liked.

"Let's go to the bar first!"

He Chen first asked for wine.

He doesn't usually drink, but this time, he didn't drive; he took a taxi instead, just to keep Shen Lei company while he drinks. Nothing more!

When drunk, one speaks the truth.

Shen Lei is an honest man, and he won't say many things without having a few drinks.

If He Chen wants to achieve his goal, Shen Lei needs to take the initiative to tell him what He Chen saw in the original story so that He Chen can make a reasonable and unobtrusive entry.

Shen Lei did not refuse.

He doesn't usually have many social engagements, but he's not completely averse to drinking. Whenever he visits his sister and brother-in-law's house, he'll still have a drink with his brother-in-law.

Now, after being harshly criticized by his wife, he endured it, but he was filled with resentment and wanted to have a drink.

The restaurant had plenty of alcohol, which was served quickly. After it was opened, He Chen raised his glass and clinked it with Shen Lei's. Instead of immediately talking about Shen Lei and his wife's relationship, he first talked about the techniques of file restoration. Using this as a starting point, he then discussed the significance of this work, and even the value and meaning of life.

Shen Lei spoke of this without any hesitation, frequently raising his glass. After getting slightly tipsy, without He Chen bringing it up, he couldn't help but bring up his wife's harsh criticism and denial of their mutually agreed-upon statement.

He Chen listened quietly, occasionally responding with a word, raising his glass to toast Shen Lei, and guiding Shen Lei to express his innermost thoughts.

"He Chen, do you think I was wrong?"

In the end, Shen Lei not only talked a lot, but also drank quite a bit. He looked at He Chen with a slightly drunken expression and his eyes were a little red: "I really tried my best."

"I understand." He Chen smiled, and under Shen Lei's questioning gaze, continued, "I know where your problem lies: you need to learn a foreign language!"

"Learn a foreign language?" Shen Lei was taken aback, then seemed to realize something and waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly: "I'm not that kind of person. I only love Mei Lan. I won't learn a foreign language!"

Although he was an honest husband, he was still a proper civil servant working at his workplace, so naturally he had heard some gossip.

For people like them, learning a foreign language has a special and unique meaning.

He had heard of it, but of course it was impossible for him to learn any foreign languages.

“Foreign languages ​​are good, you should learn them!” He Chen knew he had misunderstood, but instead of explaining the misunderstanding immediately, he teased him first.

"He Chen, I really don't want to learn this!" Shen Lei said, sounding a little angry.

He deeply loves his wife; he's definitely not that kind of person.

“But the biggest problem for you two right now is that you don’t understand foreign languages!” He Chen stopped teasing him and explained frankly: “You speak her native language, but she speaks a foreign language and only wants to speak it. She doesn’t want to communicate with you in your native language, and even pretends not to understand it. In this situation, what else can you do if you don’t take the initiative to learn a foreign language to try to communicate with her?”

Shen Lei: "..."

Are you sure you're speaking your native language right now, and not a foreign language?

I'm getting a little dizzy listening to this.

However, he is a top student with a bachelor's and master's degree from a 985 university and was hired on his first try, so he is naturally not afraid of language barriers and he is proficient in foreign languages.

However, the foreign language He Chen is speaking now is clearly not English.

Having a good understanding of classical Chinese, he quickly realized that the "wai" in He Chen's foreign language seemed to correspond to the distinction between "inner" and "outer" in "neizi waizi" (内子外子).

"Are you saying that Meilan treats me like an outsider?"
