Chapter 246 Fighting for a Just Cause

After school, Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying went to the barbecue stall.

Mu Zhengguang bought grilled chicken wings, grilled lamb, grilled lettuce, and grilled crucian carp, while Xu Ying bought grilled potato chips, grilled pork belly, and grilled chicken legs.

Late at night, the two of them came to the river with the barbecued food. They lived in a community near the river, and it only took two or three minutes to get home after eating the barbecue.

Xu Ying was lying on the grass after finishing her barbecue. The weather was very good today. She could see hundreds of stars when she looked up. The temperature was neither too hot nor too cold today, and the wind by the river was very comfortable.

"My dear classmate, one of my classmates lives in this community. From her description, I felt that this was a very high-end community, so this was the first place I found."

Mu Zhengguang had never thought that Ying had experienced such a past. Now it seemed that her classmate's description was correct. This community was indeed very upscale, very close to the river, with a bridge over the river, and willow trees and water plants by the river.

"Yeah. I like the scenery here. I think it's great to live here."

"There are more upscale places in this city. Some places are filled with luxury cars, and some places are only for the so-called upper class. But no matter what, I no longer envy those who live here, because I am also there. I have already got what I longed for when I was young. I don't envy those who live in more upscale places, because I am no longer the person I used to be. Those seemingly upscale cars and houses will disappear at any time. What I want is not a big house, but a place where I can live in peace."

Xu Ying had no intention of telling him these trivial matters. She was just looking at the stars and the lights on one side, and expressing her feelings.

She once wanted to live in a big house. But yesterday, she came back from the Academy of Sciences, and last night, she lived in a rented house. In the room, there were books given to her by her cousin, and at home, her mother waited for her for a long time. At that moment, she suddenly realized that what she wanted was not a big house.

Maybe she had this idea a long time ago, but it was not clear. Only after experiencing it personally can she say with reason and from the bottom of her heart, "I don't want a big house, but a place where I can live in peace."

Mu Zhengguang had also heard of the place full of luxury cars. In the past two years, he had many classmates, and Lu Hao was just one of them. Lu Hao and he were both from the town and knew nothing about the place full of luxury cars, but his other classmates had talked about it. He couldn't remember the location they were talking about, but such a place did exist in the city. He vaguely remembered the tone and expression of that person when he spoke, complacent, proud, boastful, and exaggerated.

He once wanted to go there and take a look, not because he longed for luxury cars, but because he wanted to know what such a place looked like.

Now, his curiosity and thirst for knowledge have greatly diminished. He is not interested in places filled with luxury cars. Ying said, "Those seemingly high-end cars and houses will disappear at any time." We can add another sentence to this sentence, which is, "If we want them to disappear, there will be no such places in the city before the sun rises tomorrow."

The dean of a branch does not have the right to destroy everything, but he has the right not to be punished after destroying everything. The most obvious example is Zhao Yuxi. No matter how big the incident was under her jurisdiction, she was not punished. "One of my deskmates told me about a place full of luxury cars. I forgot where it was. I used to care about these things and these places."

In Xu Yingze's impression, the little classmate never showed any concern for these things. The most obvious point is that he can't tell the price and brand of the car. It can be seen that he is not interested in luxury cars. He is interested in things that he can often come into contact with in daily life, as well as his thoughts and my thoughts.

However, people's pursuit of material things is inevitable, and the little student is no exception. He doesn't pursue material enjoyment very much, but it's not completely absent. When someone tries to show off in front of him, he must have hesitated in his heart. Fortunately, "Dark" covers the whole world, we have gained powerful strength, and we have become the deans of the branch. That flash of hesitation will never appear again.

To put it inappropriately, we were once glorious. We once stood at the top and looked down upon the masses. We once stood at the pinnacle of power and wealth, and we were majestic in every move we made. But now we no longer need that kind of glory, nor do we need to look down upon the masses, and we don’t need the so-called majesty.

"For some people, once they get a house, they want to get a second or third one, but for us, getting one house is enough and we can live in it for a long time and in peace and stability. When people get more things and have more things, it does not necessarily make them more greedy."

After Xu Ying finished speaking, she suddenly realized that the other kind of people were dangerous. The more they had, the more greedy they would be. Zhao Yuxi probably hated this kind of people too. Moreover, Zhao Yuxi might have done something to these people. The location of the explosion was so strange. Did similar small-scale incidents happen in other places? It was just because there were fewer victims that it was not noticeable.

Should I do something similar? It's better not to do it. Everyone has different divisions of labor. Zhao Yuxi did these things. This is her job and her hobby. It's not my job and hobby. So I don't have to do similar things. If one day, Zhao Yuxi restricts all those dangerous people, how can she guarantee that there will be no new dangerous people in the world? No one can guarantee it, but people should work hard for it. Since there is always someone who has to fight for a just cause, why can't that person be me?
Mu Zhengguang said: "The more they have, the more they desire. The existence of such people is unfair to others."

"My dear classmate, you have also discovered this. Zhao Yuxi must want to eliminate this unfairness. She wants to create a fair environment. Just let her do this. We have to do something else."

"What are we going to do?"

"It is right to tell people to live kindly."

"Is this the only thing?" Mu Zhengguang didn't quite understand why he had to tell them something that everyone knew. Was it worth their while to do such a trivial thing?
"In order to convince people that living with kindness is right, we still have a lot to do. What Zhao Yuxi did is only one aspect. She provided a negative example. Maybe she can find a positive example in the future, but she herself did not live with kindness. We work hard to do this and then tell our story to others."

"Ah."
