Chapter 216 The Gripping Secret
After the dinner, Xu Ying took Guang to her home.
She moved into the villa on August 8. Today is August 5, and in these twenty-one days, the furnishings in the living room have changed significantly.
She sent all the vases, screens, paintings and carpets in the living room to the warehouse and replaced them with dozens of pots of green plants of various shapes.
Some of the plants are affected by the operating force and grow faster or slower, while the other plants remain the same and serve as a control.
"Little classmate, do you want to hear my secret?" Xu Ying turned off the lights in the living room, took out a candle from the drawer, lit it, and placed it on the table.
The purple candle was like a thick piece of crystal, emitting a light scent of lavender. The golden candle flame flickered, as if playing a fragile melody.
In this atmosphere, Mu Zhengguang looked at his classmate's face and her serious expression, and was a little overwhelmed. Could he listen to his classmate's secrets?
"think."
"I want to do something that can change this era." Xu Ying blew a breath, making the flame bow towards the other party.
Mu Zhengguang felt the cool breeze and warm fire blowing from her, his heart filled with longing and joy.
“I have the same idea.”
"Yes, I can feel it. We all want to make the world a better place. However, our methods of doing things are different. I think some people deserve to fall into an eternal sleep. This state is not as heavy as death, nor as easy as death. If one day, I have the ability to make anyone, countless people fall into a deep sleep, I am afraid that I will not be able to help but make many people fall into a deep sleep."
Mu Zhengguang also blew a breath, but he controlled the fire and kept the flame in place. He was afraid that the insignificant heat would disturb the classmate's heart. At this moment, the classmate was serious and sincere. She showed her heart to others. From another perspective, she was very weak and vulnerable at this time, and she had to be well cared for.
Mu Zhengguang said: "Because there are too many people who waste their lives. These people are not wasting a minute, a second, a year, or a stage of their lives, but their life goals and life creeds are wrong. In other words, their goals and their creeds are obstacles and harms to others."
The flames flickered in the eyes of the two people, and the dim space and the night time flowed quickly in the slow words.
Xu Ying gathered the flames into a ball: "I used to want to use our power and strength to change this era, but now I find that power and strength are not enough to influence the entire era."
"Even 'darkness' is not enough to affect the entire era. Little classmate, do you want to change people's ideas or the rules of nature?" For a long time, Mu Zhengguang always wanted to change people's ideas, but at this moment, looking at the candlelight, he suddenly had another idea, that is, to change the rules of nature.
"I don't know, maybe it's a natural law. For example, it allows people to remember everything they want to remember. No matter how long it has been, when they think of those things, it seems like they happened yesterday, just the last moment." Xu Yingze's tone was a little sad. She has a silver spoon. In a sense, she can remember everything she wants to remember. This ability is suitable for everyone, but there are very few people who have this ability.
Mu Zhengguang breathed a sigh of relief: "Since what you want to change is not the rules of life and death, nor some natural rules that can be seen with the naked eye, but the rules of memory and forgetting, then there is no problem. The rules of memory and forgetting are rules at the level of thought. No matter how you change them, at most they will only affect the inner world of human beings, and will not interfere with the development laws of things in the real world."
"Would it be possible for people to be more rational if they could remember everything they wanted to remember?"
"Not necessarily. Knowledge is not the same as wisdom."
After tonight, the two had a deeper understanding of each other's goals and beliefs.
Xu Ying was lying on the table, taking a nap. She looked at the face of her beloved, illuminated by the fire, and felt warm and at ease. In addition to this secret, she had many other secrets in her heart, some of which were related to him. If she told him these secrets, what kind of response would she get? Probably the same feeling as now.
Warm, secure, protected, and valued, it feels like returning to childhood, or it makes people want to return to childhood. It makes people feel that even if they return to childhood and face a new, huge, complex, and unfamiliar world with a young attitude, there is nothing to be afraid of. "Little classmate, have I ever praised you for being pretty?"
Mu Zhengguang thought about it for a long time.
"No."
He often praises his classmates for their good looks, and his classmates will occasionally compliment his appearance, but they never use the word "good-looking" to describe him.
Xu Ying held a bunch of hair and used it as a ruler to measure the distance between her and her classmates: "I should have told you earlier that you are a very good-looking person."
Mu Zhengguang touched her hair with his right index finger. The soft touch of her hair was unforgettable for him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Little classmate, how much of what Zhao Yuxi said today did you understand?"
Mu Zhengguang said thoughtfully: "I think I understand everything."
Xu Ying smiled at him gently and said, "I don't mean it literally. Do you know why she said those words before the dinner?"
"Is it to warn Song Yihan?"
"That's the meaning. In Song Yihan's opinion, what Zhao Yuxi said was full of aggression. We can't confirm whether Zhao Yuxi had the intention to attack Song Yihan, but what she said did have an attacking effect. Of course, Song Yihan felt attacked not only because of these words, but also because she didn't do what Zhao Yuxi said and because she couldn't answer the question about betrayal."
"Will Song Yihan definitely betray Gu Tingzhou?"
"Not necessarily. Song Yihan had a purpose in getting close to Gu Tingzhou. If she is asked to be truly good to Gu Tingzhou, that is definitely impossible, but if she just wants to avoid betraying him, she should be able to do it. As long as Gu Tingzhou can give her what she wants, there is no need for her to take a huge risk and betray Gu Tingzhou. Once she is discovered, it will be a loss."
"If Song Yihan and Gu Tingzhou are together, is their marriage right?"
"Maybe that's right. As long as two people don't hate each other and don't betray each other, they can get married. As for whether the marriage can last, that's a matter for the future. People talk about love and material things, but in fact, they are not necessary conditions for marriage. Marriage is a very simple thing, it's just two people living together."
At this moment, Xu Ying suddenly realized that these thoughts were not just echoing in her mind, but were spoken out, and the person who was going to live with her was sitting opposite her. Every word she said could be heard by the other party, and every sentence she said would remain in the other party's heart.
Xu Ying reached out and stroked his face: "Will you be disappointed by what I said?"
Mu Zhengguang answered sincerely: "No. It's good enough for two people to live together and they don't hate each other or betray each other."
"There are many people who cannot do these things, and those who have done these things still want more. They all think their marriages are not happy. The rules related to marriage are also worth changing."
