The complex human nature is stripped away bit by bit by the words uttered from the mouth of the beautiful woman.
The truth revealed was so cold and biting that even He Tianran's breath felt chilly.
At this point in time when the young He Tianran traveled through time, everything was settled. He wanted to try to comfort Cao Aiqing, but it was too late to do this now.
Cao Aiqing lay on the table and gently wiped away her tears.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh...but I feel a lot better now that I can tell you all this. I have a question to ask you, and you...you can choose not to answer it."
He Tianran felt distressed and guilty at the same time, "No, I am the one who should say I'm sorry. Just ask, I will tell you the truth."
Cao Aiqing straightened her back, her mood adjusted quickly, and within a moment she returned to her previous adult appearance, but there was still a slight nasal sound in her mouth.
"I don't quite understand why he hates Wen Liang so much since you all call him 'He Tianran', but you don't seem to... care about the evil deeds she committed against you... even you... still love her."
He Tianran was silent. He thought about it for a long time and finally decided to tell the truth:
"Actually...if it weren't for some changes, the protagonists in the book you are reading...should be me and her...This is not to say that you are not good. Before she appeared, the person I secretly loved in my heart was still It's you."
Cao Aiqing listened quietly without interrupting. When He Tianran said this, he considered his words and said affectionately:
"Sometimes we have to admit that the order of appearance in life is really important. If many people met at another time, they might have different endings. Just like her and I, we tortured each other in this world, but in another world, But they love each other..."
"The warmth of my world was very different. She never teased me. She taught me to be brave and face life. It was she who took me out of the darkness, made me more positive, and understood how to Love someone, and then suddenly one day she leaves and disappears, but she leaves behind a better me and meets a better you..."
"But... I still miss her very much in my heart. Whether you think I'm a playboy or a hypocrite, it's because this is the fact that can't be changed. When I'm with her, the word that often comes to my mind is 'forever' , Haha, it seems quite childish now, but I really made up my mind to be with her for the rest of my life. You can imagine that kind of child whose inner world is completely barren. Suddenly one day, such a person appears, She gives you endless candies, will she take the initiative to pull you and love you with all her life? This is what she is like to me."
"Later she left, and I met my Ai Qing. We each hesitated, wavered, and finally came together firmly. Whose replacement is she? No, I will still take the initiative to hold her and fight for my life. To love her, I wish I could be with her every moment, take her to eat her favorite desserts, collect various discount coupons, and then use the money saved to do things we both like, this love It's true, but I never said 'forever' again... So you see, why should I hate Wen Liang?"
Cao Aiqing listened to the true feelings in his words. It was only at this moment that she officially regarded the boy in front of her as another person, not the "He Tianran" she was familiar with. She said with some emotion:
"But...why do you care so much about the warmth of this world..."
"She's just like me."
"What?"
He Tianran no longer held back and confided: "The Wen Liang I love is her. We are all time travellers. She traveled back from this world to the past and stopped her own mischief. So now she has not experienced that storm. I appeared here, that is... before she traveled through time."
Cao Aiqing couldn't believe it. She was shocked and said: "But...but the He Tianran I know has a completely different view of her than you do, and isn't your love putting the cart before the horse? She is first of all because of guilt, so Only then will I be good to you unconditionally..."
"I know...I also understand all the revenge actions taken by the other me..."
He Tianran turned his head and looked at the coastline outside the window, lost in thought:
"There is a saying that goes well, don't tell others to be kind without others suffering. I don't know what it feels like to be humiliated in public at the New Year Party. I don't know how to watch the girl I like being bullied, but I What does it feel like to be powerless? I don’t understand the inferiority complex of loving someone for more than ten years and the hatred of hating someone for more than ten years. From these standpoints, warmth and coolness are the root of all evil. What the other person did Everything is just a matter of tit for tat..."
Cao Aiqing murmured: "Then...then what are your plans now?"
The young man withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and said solemnly:
"Plan? Some words may sound immature on my part, but understanding is understanding. In some ways, we are really the same person. He wants to harm her so much, but I want to protect her so much. So far. I have also figured it out. There are only a few principles in the world. You have yours and I have mine. In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. If we take off the name 'He Tianran', then there is no doubt that we are enemies."
"But if it's an enemy, everything is clear. I just want the people who love me to live a good life. What's wrong with that? What if I have to bear the pain you go through again? He thinks he can Everyone has made arrangements, okay, I'll play with him, anyway, people's hearts are inherently biased, if not the one they love, who should they turn to?"
Cao Aiqing saw that the mood of the young man in front of him increased day by day. In the end, he even roared. He vented his anger wantonly. He shouted that he was an enemy of the other self. He knew everything, but She still favored the person she should have hated with all her heart, just because he loved her.
All of these are things that Cao Aiqing has never seen before in He Tianran or even Guo Huai.
Yes, from Cao Aiqing's perspective now, he is really immature.
But in her ears, she could still faintly hear the lingering sound of those words——
The human heart is inherently biased.
She couldn't help but think in her mind, if there really was such a world, and a girl named Cao Aiqing was with such a He Tianran, then... maybe... maybe... it really wasn't that bad.
At least, I won’t be bullied anymore...
At least, he wants to protect a person's sincerity, which is something that is clear, visible and felt.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, as soon as He Tianran finished speaking, Cao Aiqing saw a look of pain on his face. His facial features were twisted together, and his body was weakly leaning on the back of the chair. His forehead was covered with sweat, and his whole body instantly felt like he was falling from the water. It's just like salvaging it.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Seeing the pale face of the young man opposite, Cao Aiqing stood up and quickly expressed concern.
"No...it's okay, I just need to take it easy..."
He Tianran took a deep breath with difficulty. Maybe his appearance just now scared Cao Aiqing. For this reason, she immediately went to the boss and asked for a clean towel and a glass of warm water.
"You... take a sip of hot water first... close your eyes and rest for a while..."
"……Um."
The young man took the water and drank it. On the side, Cao Aiqing was holding a towel. He stretched out his hand halfway, but then retracted it halfway.
"You... there is sweat on your forehead, wipe your face..."
"good……"
He Tianran breathed out a breath, took a towel and wiped his face. He was a little embarrassed and said weakly:
"Thanks……"
Cao Aiqing returned to her seat and asked with lingering fear:
"What happened to you just now? You seemed to be in pain all of a sudden."
He Tianran shook his head, and he looked at Cao Aiqing, who suddenly broke away from black and white and became more and more "live", "It's okay, he's fine now, but you... Do you feel that you are different? "
"Me?" Cao Aiqing was stunned by his question. He lowered his head and looked around him: "I don't think so... you... don't scare me!"
He Tianran couldn't help laughing at her words. He waved his hand and said nothing. He glanced at his wrist and then closed his eyes.
The already dim Bodhisattva still exudes the last bit of light.
How long can it last?
Two days? Or one day?
These are not important anymore. The most important thing now is that after Cao Aiqing completed what he said before, he has completely guessed the other He Tianran, why he deceived himself about the reason why Wen Liang would fall into the sea, and even why he would He also guessed the reason for showing that book to Cao Aiqing.
It was not a product of conceit, it was a well-thought-out, well-designed "redemption."
"Let nature take its course...ha...what a coincidence, I'm familiar with this routine..."
The young man slumped in his chair, talking to himself with such strength that he could not hear.
