"Are you feeling better now?" Keng Huo looked at Kiana with a faint smile.
Kiana's expression was a little unnatural, but she did not answer Keng Huo's question directly. She suddenly turned her head to the other side, a little unhappy."I've always been in a good mood.”
" Yes, yes, yes. Your face is full of happiness. You're very happy. Life is full of ambition and hope." Keng Huo sighed and handed over his phone. On it was a picture of Kiana's face that he had secretly taken.
His face was filled with worry that even a three-year-old child could see.
Kiana was speechless. She sat on the bed with a pillow in her arms."That's none of your business!"
Keng Huo scratched his head." I didn't need to care…because I felt that if you wanted us to know, you would take the initiative to tell us about your troubles…But since you didn't mention it to us and just kept it to yourself, I don't want to force you to say it."”
" However, Mai has been very worried about your recent condition. She once told me about your recent condition, and she was helpless about it. That's why she came to me, hoping that I could talk to you about something.”Keng Huo stole a glance at Kiana, who was lying motionlessly on the bed. He deliberately sighed and said loudly," It's a pity that I agreed to stop my work and come over to see someone because I saw that Mai's face had become much paler. However, since someone doesn't appreciate it, and doesn't understand Mai's worry and support behind someone's back, I'd better go back to sleep."”
Kiana struggled for a moment.
Keng Huo saw that his strength was not enough, so he stood up and walked to the balcony."If you have nothing else to say, I'll go back.”
Keng Huo took a few steps to the balcony, but he did not hear Kiana's voice to ask him to stay. He could not help but cough twice."I said, I'm leaving."
Keng Huo had already walked to the edge of the balcony. He held the railing with both hands and turned around again, saying loudly,"Then I'll leave. Aiya, don't keep me. Anyway, you won't tell me what happened.”
Seeing that Kiana was still silent, Kenghuo placed his trembling legs outside the railing and grabbed the rope of the grappling hook with both hands."Um…I mean, I'm really leaving? Hey! I-I-I'm really leaving!"
"Are you crazy?" A pillow flew over and smashed into his face.
"Since you're so sincere in asking me to stay and help you solve your problem, I'll reluctantly help you.”Keng Huo grabbed the pillow and climbed back into the bedroom. He dragged a chair over and placed it in front of Kiana. He hugged the pillow that Kiana had thrown over and sat down with his legs crossed." I'll make it clear first. I mainly want to help Yayi. After all, she treated me to mapo tofu last time. I owe her a favor."”
Kiana curled up her legs, put her arms on her knees, and buried her face in her arms. Although Keng Huo couldn't see her expression, he could tell from her trembling shoulders and the sound that she couldn't help but laugh.
"Then get lost, get lost. I don't need your help.”Kiana raised her head and said angrily.
"Alright, since you're so sincere, why don't you tell me what happened?”
"Are you even listening to me?”Kiana was so angry that she threw the only pillow left on the bed, but Keng Huo caught it agilely.
The atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed under Keng Huo's shameless teasing.
" Actually... it's nothing..." Kiana answered vaguely." It's not as serious as Mai said. I just feel that if I don't pass the exam this time, I won't be able to become a Valkyrie..."
"If I can't become a Valkyrie, how am I going to find my father?”Kiana's voice lowered." It's just a little stressful.”
" I'm sorry to have made you guys worry, but it's really not a big deal." Kiana raised her head and smiled at Kenghuo." I've been in a bad state these days. I'll apologize to Mai after the exams."”
Keng Huo didn't even need to think to know that Kiana was lying because she was such an easy person to understand when facing her friends. She would never hide anything from her friends, so she couldn't hide her expression when facing her friends.
Keng Huo stared at Kiana's face seriously.
This expression reminded Keng Huo of a kitten that he had once seen stuck in the middle of a busy road.
It was raining that day, and the kitten was probably less than two months old. The lanugo on its body was not completely shed, and there was no big cat beside it. It was probably left behind when the big cat led the kitten across the road. It was curled up under the partition in the middle of the limited space of the road, its round eyes vigilantly scanning the rolling traffic.
That day, Keng Huo stood by the roadside with an umbrella and looked at the kitten for a long time. One could almost see the fear and loneliness in its eyes at a glance. It was the kind of loneliness that was abandoned.
Keng Huo sighed and said slowly,""Is it because of what happened in the data space?”
Kiana was so shocked that she almost jumped out of bed."How did you…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Kiana realized that she had misspoken. She stopped talking, curled up her legs, and silently put her face on her knees.
Keng Huo saw that Kiana was still unwilling to speak, and for a moment, he felt a headache, so the atmosphere fell silent.
After a long time.
Kiana finally broke the silence. Her voice was very soft and gentle. Kenghuo had never heard Kiana speak in such a tone before.
"Scammer, is it wrong to like someone else?”
Keng Huo's mind immediately imagined 800 episodes of a TV series. He actually did not know what happened in that data space. He only saw a few sporadic clips. In those clips, Kiana hugged a female corpse that looked very similar to her and cried.
"Is it wrong?" Keng Huo asked.
"Am I right?" Kiana raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
"What did you do wrong?" Keng Huo continued to ask.
"... I don't know..." Kiana couldn't think of an answer to this question, and her tone slowly became disappointed." But why is it that falling in love with someone else is punished?”
"Who loved whom?" Keng Huo continued to ask. He felt that he had vaguely grasped the crux of the problem.
" I know someone... the Valkyrie of Destiny... she fell in love with a Ruler-mimicry..." Kiana's voice sounded a little sad." But... she was convicted because of this.”
The Valkyrie and the Ritual-maker fell in love? Are you talking about me and Mai? Keng Huo almost blurted out the ridicule in his heart.
"Is love wrong? Or was it because the person she loved was different?”Kiana raised her head and stared fixedly at Keng Huo, as if hoping that he could give her an answer." But why is love wrong? It's such a beautiful thing…why would someone be punished for love…"
" I really…don't understand…"
Keng Huo hesitated for a moment. The problem before him was beyond his expectations. He tried to analyze the fog-like statement to obtain useful information.
Keng Huo paused for a moment and slowly said, each word carefully considered,"There is nothing wrong with love. This is an emotion that almost all life in the world will have.”
" It will bring hope for the future to those who possess it, and give them firm confidence in the unknown journey.”
"It finds the other half of each person that was lost when they were born and makes them complete again.”
"There is nothing wrong with love. Of course, there is nothing right about it.”
"Love is just love. It will make life better and make life more promising.”
"There is no right or wrong in love, but…"
"There are people I love."
Hearing Keng Huo's words, Kiana was a little surprised and sad. Her big blue eyes were filled with worry."Then…are there some people who can't be loved?”
"Why?" Keng Huo's words seemed to be completely contradictory to what he had said before." There's someone here. Why can't I love her?”
" But..." Kiana couldn't hide her surprise." You just said..."
"There's nothing wrong with the person who loves others and the person who is loved. If they are judged and punished because of this, then it can only be the party who judges and punishes them…"
"They are crazy and can't bear to see others doing well. When they see a couple, they will talk nonsense and threaten to burn them to death. In fact, they are envious and jealous. Every night, when they return home, the only thing that welcomes them is the echo of the door opening. There has never been a soft girl standing at the door and welcoming them home with a sweet voice that has three plus signs. Therefore, when they see those who can be loved and loved by others, they will burn with jealousy. They wish that all the couples in the world would die." In fact, they are the ones who are poor, ugly, lazy, have high standards, and are self-righteous…" Keng Huo's words almost became a ramble, and he looked like a victim filled with righteous indignation.
Keng Huo's words almost made Kiana laugh. It took her a lot of effort to hold back her laughter. She puffed up her cheeks and asked,"But…that friend of mine…"
"But that's history, isn't it?”Keng Huo scratched his head and replied. Seeing Kiana's expression, he was even more certain of the accuracy of his speculation." People always have to look forward."”
"We can't change history, but we can change the future.”
"In my hometown, there is an old saying that goes,'the lessons of the past are the lessons of the future.' It means that the experience and lessons left behind by the predecessors will serve as a warning for future generations.”
"We can't change what has already happened. No matter how cruel and sad the story is, we can't change it.”
"So…what we should do is to remember it and then forget it.”
"For a better tomorrow."
Kiana's expression was obviously happy for a moment, but it was only for a moment before her expression suddenly darkened."But…I'm really worried…"
" Those two people who love each other…are really similar to Mai and I…" Kiana finally said after some hesitation.
Keng Huo finally let out a long sigh of relief,"I've been waiting for you to say this."
"That's why I said, are you stupid?" Keng Huo looked exhausted and turned his head away from Kiana." The two of them belong to the Destiny and Collapse camps. They are enemies, so if they love each other, they will be rejected by others.”
"But you and Mai! They were both Valkyries! Although Mai was indeed a Ritual-maker, she was also a Valkyrie!”
"We're all family. What's the point of a trial?”
Kiana thought for a moment and couldn't help but fly into a rage."Why didn't you say so earlier! You made me think hard for so many days! I want to elope with Mai!"
"I didn't expect you to be so stubborn!”Keng Huo stared at Kiana without giving in.
"Hmph, I won't lower myself to the same level as a single dog like you.”Kiana looked angry, but her legs, which were swaying uncontrollably beside the bed, expressed her happiness very honestly.
" Well, actually, I've already thought of it. I'm just giving you some space to express yourself." Kiana raised her chin, looking like she was the smartest." But I have another question to test you. If you get it right, I'll be very happy.”
"Why should I make you happy?”Keng Huo pulled a long face." You speak as if you are my boss.”
"What's wrong? You're not happy?" Kiana raised her eyebrows.
"It's my pleasure." Considering that Kiana's Earth had been thrown and Mortal Express had been hit 18 times, Kenghuo decided to be a man who could yield.
Kiana's eyes narrowed as she asked in a hopeful tone,""Scammers…good people will be rewarded, right?”
"Dream on. How is that possible?"
"Eh?" Kiana immediately stood up and pointed at Keng Huo's nose in disbelief." You, you, you…"
"Good people get good rewards. It's just comforting words. There's no logical connection between being a good person and getting good rewards.”Keng Huo spread his hands as if he was talking about something normal." It's just some people with ulterior motives. They want others to be good people so that they can gain a lot of benefits by being bad people. That's why they spread such rumors."”
" Let everyone in the world be good, and he himself be the only bad person. Then, he can reap benefits unscrupulously, because no one will harm him. Only he can harm others.”
Kiana stared at Keng Huo in disbelief. She thought that Keng Huo would comfort her and tell her that good people would be rewarded, but Keng Huo's words made her speechless.
"I know what you want to say and what you want to hear, Kiana.”Keng Huo's expression suddenly became serious. He stood up and looked at Kiana at the same level. He said to her in an unprecedentedly serious tone," But good people don't deserve good things.”
"Only those who work hard to obtain happiness can obtain it.”
"Eh?" Facing Keng Huo's reversal of words, Kiana suddenly felt that her brain capacity was not enough.
"That's right. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.”Keng Huo said in a very calm tone," Being a good person and being friendly to others is a simple process of giving. Whether or not you receive a reward has nothing to do with your own actions. It's only related to the consciousness of the person who receives your favor.”
" If that person is willing to repay you, then you will be rewarded. But I don't think that's considered 'good recompense.'”
"Because I think the 'good karma' that people often talk about usually refers to 'happiness.'”
" And happiness cannot depend on the charity of others. Kiana, we can only control ourselves, but not others.”
"We can use morality to demand ourselves, but we can't use morality to bind others.”
Kiana really wanted to refute Keng Huo, but Keng Huo's words were like a heavy hammer, striking her heart word by word, causing her to panic.
" If you want 'good reward', a good ending, and a happy life, you don't just have to be a good person. It's too simple. To be a good person and obtain happiness is simply the most unfair trade in the world.”
"You know what? I've been wandering in China, and I've seen many people living at the bottom of society.”
" Those people are poor and stupid. They don't have any skills. Some of them are even physically disabled. It's a huge problem for them to survive every day.”His voice carried a hint of reminiscence.
"Some of them chose to be bad people because that was the only way they could survive. Many of them succeeded in becoming bad people, but they were either arrested and imprisoned, or they were only in a cycle of harming others day by day to satisfy their own desires.”
"Such a person can't be considered happy at all. You can only say that he's alive or dying.”
" As for the others…" Keng Huo paused for a moment, as if he was trying to organize his words." They live seriously.”
" Even if they always make mistakes due to the limitations of their aptitude and find it difficult to get what they want, they live every day on the road to their dreams and pursue happiness.”
"I've seen a poor family of three. The mother was seriously ill, the father was laid off, and the child was still in junior high school. The three of them lived in a small house that was less than ten square meters. Next to the stove was the toilet, and next to the toilet was the bed. The three of them squeezed on the bed and slept together. In summer, it was as hot as a steamer. In winter, it was so cold that the three of them hugged each other and shivered.”
