Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 641 Rely on yourself

Lucas played with Tao Shenxing for three days, and during these three days, he felt unprecedented freedom and relaxation.

Don't have to think about anything, just play with friends and experience things you have never experienced before.

He thought everything was fun, whether it was throwing rings at a street stall, flying kites in the park, or sneaking out at night to set off fireworks.

Tao Shenxing always takes him to various fun places, and the things recommended by Gu Qinghuan are also delicious.

He also packed a few copies and took them back to share with Lu Jingying.

Although Lu Jingying would say that eating too many snacks before meals is not good, but when she sees Tao Shenxing bringing nothing and confidently saying to Xiang Jiri that "the activity funds have been spent", she would take them over with glee.

Not only did she eat it herself, she also appeared in front of Xiang Jiri and ate it in front of her - and then Xiang Jiri quickly and accurately snatched away some of it.

Every time this happened, Lu Jingying would say things like "My son bought this for me" or "If you have the guts, ask your son to buy it for you." She had no time to ask Lucas how he was doing against Tao Shenxing.

Although he knew that such days could not last forever, Lucas also thought that it would be nice if he could make his mother forget about the competition.

On the fourth day, he and Tao Shenxing came to Yunjin Tower together. Still curious about what fun things there were, they saw the waiter leading them to a private room.

This box was obviously not used for banquets. There was no round table. To be honest, Lucas felt that it looked more like a conference room.

Gu Qinghuan walked into the box and greeted them: "Good morning, are you ready for brainstorming?"

Lucas was still confused, but Tao Shenxing nodded with a sad expression: "It's done."

Gu Qinghuan kept smiling: "Don't be so nervous."

"Excuse me, what is brainstorming?" Lucas raised his hand cautiously.

Gu Qinghuan walked to the mobile whiteboard in the box and dragged it over.

Tao Shenxing took Lucas and sat on the sofa obediently.

Gu Qinghuan tapped the whiteboard with the end of the marker pen: "As for me, I am actually the reinforcements invited by Tao Shenxing."

"He originally thought you would compare him to scum, so he came to me to give himself more confidence. He didn't expect your actual situation to be so bad, so he changed his mind and wanted to help you."

Lucas was stunned, touched, but also a little confused: "But, what can you do?"

Tao Shenxing couldn't help but look around. There shouldn't be any recording in the box, right? This is Jiang Chuchu's territory, and she can't hear this.

Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "I really can't do anything. After all, from my position, it's a bit too much for me to interfere with your mother."

"But I can give you some advice."

"Suggestions?" Lucas repeated the word.

Gu Qinghuan didn't waste any more time and directly wrote down four names on the whiteboard.

Xiang Jiri, Lu Jingying, Tao Shenxing, Lucas.

"In fact, to solve the problem between you and Tao Shenxing, all you need to do is for Aunt Lu to change her mind." Gu Qinghuan said, "After all, you have no intention of competing with Tao Shenxing."

"Do you want to change Aunt Lu's mind little by little and let her stop thinking about winning?" Tao Shenxing asked.

"No, if Aunt Lu gave up winning or losing so easily, it would be too cruel for her." Gu Qinghuan said bluntly.

This is Lu Jingying's obsession. She has put so much effort into it. If she were to deny it completely, it would be tantamount to telling her that she has wasted a lot of time.

Given Lu Jingying's personality, she will most likely not be able to accept it, and it may even have a counterproductive effect.

Tao Shenxing thought about it and said, "Then how can I change her opinion?"

Gu Qinghuan shrugged: "It's very simple, let her compete by herself."

Tao Shenxing & Lucas: “…Ah?”

"She trained Lucas to compete with you, isn't it because she can't beat Aunt Xiang, so she wants to declare her victory this way?" Gu Qinghuan said.

Lucas lowered his head in shame, but Tao Shenxing slapped him on the back, forcing him to look up: "Why are you ashamed? This is not your fault!"

Tao Shenxing looked at Gu Qinghuan: "So now you want her to continue to compete with my mother?"

Gu Qinghuan nodded straightforwardly. Tao Shenxing scratched his cheek: "Will this work? She has been defeated by my mother for so many years..."

"Do you know exactly where she lost?" Gu Qinghuan asked back.

This question stumped Tao Shenxing: "Uh, isn't it billiards?"

"Is it really just billiards?" Gu Qinghuan asked, "On the court, strength proves everything. Aunt Lu should know better than anyone that she is not as good as Aunt Xiang in billiards, which is why she lost to her."

"Besides, it's impossible that they participate in the same competition every time? And they happen to be the finalists every time? Hasn't she ever lost to others? Why doesn't she have such a strong competitive spirit against others who have defeated her?"

This series of questions left Tao Shenxing and Lucas dizzy.

Tao Shenxing covered his head and said, "Wait a minute, monitor, you are right. Aunt Lu can't just lose to my mom. My mom has also lost to others!"

He grew up watching his mother's competitions and medals. Xiang Jiri is not strong enough to sweep the world.

"So, we have to figure out where her competitive spirit against Aunt Xiang comes from." Gu Qinghuan drew an arrow between Lu Jingying and Xiang Jiri.

"Until then, Lucas, you should just have a good rebellious period."

"Rebellious period?" This word was obviously very unfamiliar to Lucas.

Tao Shenxing explained enthusiastically: "She told you to go east, but you insisted on going west. She asked you to do your homework, but you insisted on playing games..."

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but glance sideways: It seems that Tao Shenxing is very experienced in dealing with rebellious periods.

Lucas' eyes widened when he heard this: "How can you do such a thing! Why do you have to go against your mother!"

Tao Shenxing grabbed the back of his head and said, "Well, because she doesn't let me do what I want to do, I have to deliberately do what she doesn't want me to do to piss her off."

Not to mention Lucas, even Gu Qinghuan found it a bit confusing.

Lucas thought for several minutes before he sorted out his logic: "I understand what the rebellious period is, but why do you do this?"

"To let your mother know that you are an independent person, not a game character controlled by her." Gu Qinghuan said.

"Your life is not the second chance she got after failing the game, and the victory you achieved is not her victory either."

"You are where you are today because you have worked hard. No matter how much she taught you, you are the one who truly understood and applied it."

"Only in this way can she realize that the victory she wants can only be achieved by herself."
