Chapter 118: Equality of the Sexes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chu Qing didn’t bother asking why because he knew that Tang Ziyan probably didn’t have an answer either. In this world, nobody cared about the reasons behind men’s ignorance or knowledge. It could all be summed up in one simple statement: “Because he’s a man.”
Chu Qing was well aware of the blatant discrimination. He stuffed two mouthfuls of dessert into his mouth, trying to alleviate his discontent. As he ate, he noticed Tang Ziyan gazing at him with a dazed expression. Chu Qing had grown accustomed to such infatuated looks.
In Chu Qing’s words, all the women in this world were infatuated, and they were extremely infatuated. Of course, those women would not admit it. They only felt that it was natural.
Chu Qing noticed the excessive fondness in Tang Ziyan’s eyes and felt an instant repulsion. His appetite vanished, and he no longer felt like eating. “I’m done eating. Let’s go back to school,” he said.
They were currently at the coffee shop on the pedestrian street near the school entrance. Tang Ziyan gracefully retrieved a high-quality handkerchief from her pocket, extending her hand to wipe Chu Qing’s mouth.
Chu Qing was stunned by this sudden action and was speechless for a long time. After wiping his mouth, Tang Ziyan handed a handkerchief to Chu Qing. Chu Qing asked curiously, “What are you doing?”
At that moment, Tang Ziyan seemed to transform into a refined young master—or rather, a stunning young lady. Her demeanor nearly blurred Chu Qing’s perception of gender. He was truly at a loss for words.
“Isn’t it the norm for boys to take the handkerchief home to wash, and then return them?” Tang Ziyan stated matter-of-factly.
However, Chu Qing didn’t appreciate what he heard. “Anyone who wants to can do it. I don’t have time for that,” he replied dismissively.
Chu Qing’s disobedience did not make Tang Ziyan unhappy. Tang Ziyan smiled and retracted her handkerchief. “1 knew you wouldn’t wash it. It’s okay. I just want to see you depressed.”
After being tricked, Chu Qing was caught off guard. He stood up angrily and turned to leave.
“Wait.” Tang Ziyan’s voice came from behind.
But Chu Qing made up his mind not to stay.
“Are you still cultivating ancient martial arts?” Tang Ziyan asked inexplicably.
Chu Qing turned around, unable to calm down as this matter concerned the essence of the decline in this world. What had allowed women to dominate the course of history? It was their strength, their innate physical prowess and intelligence.
Chu Qing had also been in this world for a period of time. He was deeply touched by this point. The special cultivation system of ancient martial arts was the pillar that made women stronger. It could also be said to be the strongest guarantee of a woman’s status.
Therefore, if he wanted to change the current situation of this world, the only way was to overturn this cultivation system and make women no longer powerful. At a certain moment, Chu Qing had this thought, but he rejected it the next moment.
He wasn’t particularly ambitious, and the actions of men in this world didn’t concern him. He didn’t possess a strong sense of mission. He didn’t feel a need to strongly advocate for men in order to change their social status. He believed that everything shouldn’t be centered around men.
He only felt that if it was possible, it would be fine as long as the surrounding environment where he lived could be better. For example, it would be good if men and women were equal. However, these words were harder to do than ascending to the heavens. However, it was not Chu Qing’s style to give up.
He halted and patiently awaited Tang Ziyan’s response, but she remained silent. The two of them sat there in an impasse, locked in a silent contest that concluded with Chu Qing conceding defeat..
