Chapter 103 Selfish and benevolent, not naive
In many Japanese cartoon settings, beauties with "**" attributes, especially those beautiful and generous domineering characters, often have MAX-level housework and cooking skills (except for Madam Fukukawa who is keen on "killing bread"). It is said that this tradition comes from the perfect image of "Yawa Shiko" in Japanese men's dream. But in fact, women with beautiful appearances in reality are often inversely proportional to their abilities, especially in the contradictory atmosphere of modern times calling for "equality between men and women" but emphasizing "humility ladies", more and more housework is often done by servants or men. From a certain perspective, it is really a revival of the female society. It is really gratifying and gratifying!
The mess in front of me was filled with white porcelain fragments and the strange "pile of potato stewed eggs" that were like rice fields, which once again proved the difference between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional world with facts.
"I'm so sorry!"
Looking at the tearful beauty in front of her, she lowered her head to apologize. Luo Yu pulled the corner of his mouth and took the initiative to comfort him:
"Ah... it's okay... I'll prepare breakfast myself."
What he said is the truth. After all, he is not like other classmates, who can frown and pick on how hard the dishes cooked by his mother are difficult to swallow. Since Luo Yu was eleven years old, from the moment he moved back to the house left by his parents from Ai Jing's house, he has quickly gotten used to and adapted to a person's life. Although he is not a chef, he is at least full of nutrition.
When the atmosphere was in awkwardness, Luo Yu broke the silence at the right time, looked at this uninvited temporary companion and asked:
"What's wrong with you here... Has anyone bullied you at this base?"
Through these three days of getting along, Luo Yu also understood the background of this rare new pregnant woman. She seemed to be the daughter of a famous domestic business family. She had a wealthy family since childhood and had an excellent academic career. After studying in college abroad, she inherited the industry left by her father early, and further expanded to other industries within a few years. The company name she mentioned casually, Luo Yu often heard of it. She had a mutual affection for each other and had a lifelong fiancé who had made a living from childhood. She had a good harvest in career and love. In a certain popular urban category, she could be the "protagonist".
Originally, this kind of a prodigal daughter who was smooth sailing and had no worries about everything could not enter this dangerous world as a "selected person". However, last year, the second year after she tied the knot with her husband, there was a surprising turn. At that time, she was on a business trip abroad because of an emergency business in the company. Her severely ill husband knew that his wife was very serious, so she deliberately concealed the news, just lied that she was a little uncomfortable. When she was terminally ill, Liu Shuixin received the call. Half a month later, she rushed back, but could only see a white cloth covered with a blanket.
Even the children in her belly were artificial pregnancy to inherit her husband's offspring. When she was in a glory, she suddenly suffered a separation from life and death. Liu Shuixin was naturally hit hard. In addition, her pregnancy was weak and her career gradually became unintentional. The company gradually declined. She was stuck at home and was depressed... until one day she received a strange invitation.
Of course, the information involved in private was not revealed to Luo Yu in person, but was heard by Luo Yu who was comforted by the little boy with a mysterious origin (Luo Yu finally determined the gender of the 'it') when she was "silent" by Luo Yu next door.
However... after this woman came to this survivor base under Luo Yu's care, due to physical reasons, even if Luo Yu could provide advanced firearms and weapons, she would not risk abortion and fight zombies, so she spent a while in the base.
Hey... I said the time... It seems that the newcomer's three-day survival mission has arrived, which means - is she here to say goodbye?
Luo Yu was a little surprised, and indeed Liu Shuixin bowed deeply and said softly:
"Thank you for your care these days... I'm leaving soon."
"Well... It's a pity that you haven't even passed the first plane. You don't have enough permissions. I can't even give you some points and props." Luo Yu nodded and suddenly sighed,
"But I have collected some information so that you won't be blind."
"No." The woman hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Actually, I came here this time to advise you about something..."
"Oh?" Luo Yu raised his eyebrows and waited patiently for the following text.
Liu Shuixin showed a firm face and said softly: "Although the contact time is very short... you are such a good person."
This... is the legendary good guy card? Luo Yu thought laughingly but didn't interrupt. He continued to listen, and his face gradually became serious.
"I can tolerate the willfulness and unreasonableness of me, a stranger, and even if I am willing to lend a helping hand just because I see that I am a weak person in need, and a good person like you who insists on being kind... I really admire it."
"Ah... it's not like that," Luo Yu retorted embarrassedly: "In fact, if you hadn't stood up and spoke to me at the beginning... I probably..."
"I'll probably help me. Just because I'm inconvenient to mobility and need help, if the people in that team don't want to accept me, you'll still show up and help!" Liu Shuixin immediately interrupted Luo Yu's defense. Luo Yu looked at her decisive look and smiled bitterly. Touching his nose was considered to be accustomed to this.
"I'm different..." The woman admitted frankly: "In fact, if it weren't for your illness that reminded me of my deceased husband, if you were disabled or mentally retarded or other diseases, I wouldn't have risked choosing to save you because...my love is selfish love."
She continued with a little excitement: "I hope to save all those who need help...even those who don't know help, I will extend my hand and do my best to help. Although it is great... but I think this is wrong."
"Those who can save the suffering of the world are often only 'heroes' and 'gods' that never exist. Even if you have incredible power, you are just an 'ordinary person'. My father has always told me since he was a child: Always treat yourself as an ordinary person. Real ordinary people are always limited in their ability. They can only selectively protect their most important people in endless disasters. Only when they have spare energy can they popularize mercy to other strangers. That is to say, with selfish love, selfless love can be produced. A mother may distribute milk to other children because of pity, but when other children threaten their flesh and blood, they will raise their swords to kill other people's children. This is the choice of ordinary people. The kind of savior who does not love themselves and only loves strangers is often just a self-intoxicator who forgets that he is also a mortal! "
"If the duty of 'save others' love' is imposed on myself, in my opinion, it is undoubtedly a betrayal of 'what I love' and 'those who love myself'." She said firmly and vigorously:
"Even if I am a beneficiary of your misconception,... I don't want this stupid idea to make you drown in your own mistakes with this illusion!"
"Ah..." Luo Yu nodded indifferently, not knowing what his emotions were, and replied: "Is this your 'adult' belief..."
The fiery red sun was rising, and the golden afterglow shone on his face through the curtains. The dazzling brilliance made Luo Yu slightly lose his mind. He showed a look of recollection:
"I know what you think... If it weren't for the 'miracle' I experienced personally, the 'miracle' that was enough to counter the entire universe and reverse everything, I would probably bow to reality and admit that the 'hero' in my heart was just a fantasy..." He murmured in a low voice:
"I've been wondering... do those characters in TV, movies, and games who are willing to 'save everything' really exist? What kind of thoughts do they... want to give up everything and turn into the 'light' of hope?"
"In the darkest period of my life... I couldn't find any support, I understood for the first time what 'one person' is. I returned home ignorantly, and no familiar people were waiting for your return. Every morning I woke up, the only sound was my heartbeat. At that time... I was thinking, does the so-called 'hope' and the so-called 'brave' really exist? I put my faith on this delusion and struggled to survive."
"Later, until I met those two people... I realized that it was really 'as long as I persisted until the end and never gave up, hope would always come.' With this belief, even if I had truly 'dead', I got a promise and answer in the dark."
Luo Yu suddenly smiled, picked up the water cup beside him casually, Qingming said slowly, "In this endless world, the heroes I have always wanted to see in my childhood, those 'Light Giants' must also exist... I wonder if they have the same idea as me?"
The experience of the previous world flashed through Luo Yu's mind and continued: "When I was powerless, I saw a fragile girl attacked by a ferocious beast. I was not the opponent of the monster at that time. If I force myself forward, I would probably just lose an innocent life..."
"I am not familiar with that girl either... I am likely to survive if I abandon her, but she will definitely die... Her family will be sad, but her family will only know me for less than a day..." Luo Yu changed his tone and whispered in a decisive manner:
"But... if I leave, I will admit my 'selfishness' and 'powerlessness' as you say. I do not reject these two things... I don't believe that there are selfless saints in the world, but... if I give up like this, I will never forget my choice in my life. My 'natural' will be worn away little by little. In the future, I will escape and give up countless times, until I finally forget what I hope. I can only scold the despicable reality, reveal my 'maturity' in beer and cigarettes, and then mock the innocent and stupidity of those children."
"What I want is not the indifference of 'It doesn't matter for myself and sacrifice others', nor the hypocrisy of 'killing forty-nine people to save fifty-one people'."
"What I want... is just to maintain that 'natural', my 'hope' is 'a whole hundred people, as long as we don't give up hope, we can all survive!"
Luo Yu looked straight at the sun, as if a boiling golden flame was ignited, and he said, "I will not save those who give up on myself, nor will I be stupid enough to think that I am a god and a Buddha, but I always believe: as long as I persist with hope, I will never fail! In this world, young people will only grow up, grow old, and not die!"
"Sorry... I seem to be a little excited." Luo Yu sighed and drank the liquid in the water cup in one gulp.
"It seems... I'm worried for nothing." Liu Shuixin said word by word: "It seems that I'm wrong too... This kind of belief is really... unimaginable..."
She sighed quietly:
"Keep this terrible belief... If you persist until the end... no! It is this belief that will inevitably make you persist until the end. You are right, and I am almost convinced by you... In reality, it is correct to protect yourself, but in this endless world, endless excitement and temptation, corrode all the virility and laziness. Only your terrible obsession with "breaking through the wall and not turning back" can become a real strong man!"
"I can't wait to see what great posture you can... appear in front of me in the future." She hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice:
"If it were the last moment...I wouldn't give up, would you come to save me?"
"That's all!" Luo Yu smiled and pressed it on, felt the soft and boneless palm of **, and nodded and answered.
The woman who got the answer nodded gently, her body was a little transparent, and finally turned into invisible and disappeared into the air. Luo Yu stretched, poured the water cup next to his mouth, shaking it, and started drinking it carefully.
Huh...?
