Late at night, Huai Shi pushed open the gate of the Shimaru Pavilion with expressionless face.

In the living room, Uncle Fang turned around, "Young Master, do you want some midnight snack?"

"No, Uncle Fang, please rest. Thank you for your hard work these two days."

Huai Shi took off her coat and hung it on the clothes hanger. She turned around and asked suddenly, "Where is Tongji?"

"lounge."

The old man replied: "She seems to have been waiting for you for a long time. It seems that you have something to say. I will add a pot of mint tea to both of you."

He thought for a moment: "Do you want some cookies?"

"Yeah, it's trouble."

Huai Shi nodded, walked straight to the lounge, and roughly pushed open the door in front of her. She saw the figure lying on the sofa, surrounded by French fries, shrimp slices and even a lot of snacks.

She was still holding a basin of fried chicken and watching TV attentively.

When he noticed Huai Shi coming in, he picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Huai Shi only had time to hear a familiar voice on the TV saying, "...Why can't it be me?"

He frowned and looked at the dark screen, "What are you looking at?"

"Television."

Tongji wiped off the chip residue from the corner of her mouth and introduced enthusiastically: "It is the evening drama with a hot rating recently, "The Scumbag 24 Hours"!

The plot is ups and downs, with swords and candy, and the structure is compact. Although the protagonist is a scumbag, it makes people involuntarily immerse it in it. I hope he can be hatched and he can get rid of danger. Well, although the voices on both sides seem to be very high, I am a centrist who doesn’t care about both sides.”

As she said that, she invited, "How is it? Do you want to participate in the viewing?"

"Be an actor?"

Huai Shi sneered, sat opposite her, and asked bluntly: "Who is the director? Are you yourself?"

"Ah..."

Tongji blinked her innocent eyes, as if embarrassed: "It is undeniable that I have such a little effect, but I can't blame me all, right?"

Bang!

The table suddenly shook.

Huai Shi no longer concealed her anger and displeasure: "It's too much, Tong Ji!"

"Um?"

Tongji asked in confusion: "What's going on? Have you eaten your fries? I'll make one for you later, don't be angry."

"You know what I'm talking about, Tongji, you know why I'm angry."

Huai Shi asked coldly: "I know you like to tease me and like to see me in a mess, but even if you want to see my jokes, there is no need to involve them, right?"

"joke?"

Tongji shook her head indifferently, "No, Huai Shi, this is a problem you will face sooner or later. Well, I'm just going to help you get them...well, ahead of time?"

"Tong Ji"

Huai Shi interrupted her indifferently.

"Okay, okay."

Tongji raised her hand, interrupted him just before he was really angry, got up from the sofa, leaned in front of her, and smiled: "Huai Shi, let's talk about some serious topic."

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

The crisp sound spread, dispelling the cicadas outside the window, the worms in the night, the electric currents in the electronic devices, and even all the insignificant noises.

Let everything return to silence.

Only Huai Shi's breathing sound remains.

And Tongji, holding her chin, asked as if she was joking, "Can you recall how long it took you to have not spoken to me like this?"

"Hmm?" Huai Shi frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Literally, Huai Shi."

Tongji asked with a smile: "How long has it been since you have shown your joys and angers in a blunt way, how long has it been since you have not reviewed yourself, and how long has it been like you are now?

"Am I not normal?" Huai Shi asked, "or do you think I am sick and need treatment?"

"It's not necessarily true that you are sick, but it's not the same as normal, right?"

Tongji looked at his appearance and sighed pity: "A normal person will not live like a hero in a story book. Huai Shi, selfless, generous, and passionate, shining brightly in the light... It is true that everything is magnificent and desirable, but even His Highness the Prince has to go to the toilet, Huai Shi.

Except for the mule that has eaten too much dye, no one pulled out the thing that was pink eggs.”

She spread her hands and asked helplessly: "Can you recall how long have you been in this state?"

"I……"

Huai Shi was confused.

He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

I don’t know when it started, but he seemed to have gradually entered the role and entered the role everyone imagined.

Justice, compassion, power, selflessness, and impeccable, brings redemption and liberation like a hero of steel descending on the earth.

In front of the students, he is a generous teacher, within the genealogy of heaven, he is a perfect example, and in everyone's eyes, he is the successor of the ideal country.

It represents everything that is about to rise, and the glory and glory of return.

"But this...isn't it good?"

"Of course it's very good, Huai Shi, that's not wrong, isn't it?"

Tongji smiled, and the teacup was lifted up on her slender fingers, rotating from the delicate balance, and a warm light appeared on the white porcelain and gold edges.

"But in the final analysis, where does this change come from?"

She asked in confusion: "Is what you pursue self-compassion or compassion given by heaven? What you master is your own ** or the rules in divinity?

Are you the boy who once longed for happiness or the hero in everyone's dreams? Are you accomplishing all this from the bottom of your heart, or is a 'moral specimen' as Ai Qing said?"

Tongji raised her eyes and asked solemnly:

"Are you Huai Shi or Yun Zhongjun?"

"Aren't me all?"

Huai Shi retorted without hesitation: "Aren't these all created by me personally? Tong Ji? Any growth must be different from the past, or do I have to think that it was as unfair as before?"

"This is also falling into another extreme, Huai Shi."

Tongji chuckled: "Nothing is always unchanging, but sometimes changes may not necessarily turn to the result you love, as you expected.

The abundant divinity will make you love everyone, but among the many virtues, only love must be different to show to the end, and you will not be able to love anyone again.

Maybe everyone will love you, but in the end, if everyone falls in love with the "hero", no one will love the "Huai Shi".

It is true that you are doing well now, but you must distinguish the responsibilities and images that the outside world has given you from your true desires and loves.

You must understand where you are."

She paused for a moment, and her eyes showed melancholy and helplessness: "If you let go, you will be immersed in the glory and solemnity of divinity, day after day, until one day you completely forget your side as an ordinary person, and eventually become a ruthless right machine, or a tool man dominated by fate, I have seen too many things like this."

“…”

In the brief silence, Huai Shi was stunned, but the experience of being arranged and fooled for so many years reminded him that the truth seemed to be this truth, but it seemed that something was wrong?

Immediately, he slapped the table angrily: "But what does this have to do with you tossing me!"

"Well? Don't you understand?"

Tongji smiled: "I just want some people to remind you who you are."

"Is that right?" Huai Shi glanced at her coldly.

"Yes, yes!" Tongji nodded seriously, with an innocent face, as if full of unintelligible pains and helplessness, conservative grievances, and full of sadness and melancholy.

"hehe."

Huai Shi watched her perform quietly, unmoved: "Why do I think you're just having fun?"

“Um…”

Tongji's smile became shy, she raised her thumb and index finger, and gestured: "Of course, it is impossible to deny that a small part of it is from this.

But except them, who can knock you out of that glorious shell and restore the true face of that fool, Huai Shi?"

"Your past, your present, and your future"

Tongji said: "Before you become a sublimator, after you become a sublimator, they all witnessed all of you. Huaishi, you have to face them, just like facing who you were."

She paused, her expression becoming subtle: "Your life will be the one you spent with them so far, right?"

“…”

Huai Shi's expression twitched, and then twitched.

Started to have a headache.
