"The Ship of Theseus...? What is that? Is it the little boat painted on the ocean carpet outside your window?"
"No, but if you want to understand it as the Ship of Theseus, that's fine. After all, the Ship of Theseus is just a symbol. Its exact appearance is not important."
"Haa..." Ying Meng showed a troubled expression——
"Hey, Ying Meng, you didn't train your muscles, you trained your brain instead. Why do you have such a silly face? Don't you feel stupid?"
"It's really stupid, but after all, I've never heard of this ship before. If you ask me to pretend to know something when I don't, it's a bit unreasonable. Is it shameful not to know something? I think pretending to know something is the most shameful. Also, relying on your own knowledge and refusing to explain it to others, and acting like a great person, is also shameful..."
"Don't mock me so indirectly. Just say that the Cheshire Cat is the most shameful, right?" The Cheshire Cat winked playfully and turned to Chu Shangli: "Since Miss Chu Shangli just mentioned the 'Ship of Theseus', I'm sure you know what that means?"
“…”
I don’t know what the Cheshire Cat is planning, but Chu Shangli has already thought about it - it doesn’t matter as long as Ying Meng doesn’t think there are any loopholes -
Anyway, if you're as perceptive as a Cheshire cat, no matter if you say something you shouldn't say or hide the truth, it will be seen through -
Besides, she had already mentioned the issue of "fate can be calculated", perhaps she had information in her hands that was far more terrifying than she could imagine -
Then there is no need for me to struggle in the void anymore, I should just accept it honestly - just like when I was talking to Su Wan -
If you only lie in the first sentence, and then continue to cover it up with lies, you will only gain negative favorability, which will only harm your future life and not benefit you.
Su Wan only possessed exceptional cooking skills, and he hadn't known her in his previous life—he didn't know how she could help him in his future life, so he chose to maintain her favorability instead of playing it safe.
Besides, there was no need to hide anything from his idol from his previous life, the Cheshire Cat.
Of course, there was another very important point - she was really interested in the topic of the Cheshire Cat. She wanted to hear more about the Cheshire Cat's parents, as well as information about Chu Moyin that she didn't know before -
Perhaps, he also wanted to know if she really wouldn't have an allergic reaction to Family's flaxseed oil—maybe it was just that she hadn't been there long enough, and she had a flare-up after he left, so he couldn't put the blame on the Cheshire Cat anymore—
The Cheshire Cat could have acted innocent, or even dragged Ying Meng, who had been witnessing the incident, to prove that it was not because of the flaxseed oil snacks provided by his family.
"If you take a ship and repeatedly remove the planks and replace them with new materials, and then use the old planks to build a new ship, then in the end, the old ship made with all the replaced materials is exactly the same as the original one, or the old ship repaired with new materials, which one is the original ship?"
"Huh?" Ying Meng was full of questions. "What kind of a question is this? The repaired ship must be the original one—huh? Wait a minute, is the ship made of old materials exactly the same as the previous one?"
"Yeah, exactly the same. The shape and size are all the same, and they use the same old materials."
"..." Ying Meng frowned, and soon her expression began to twitch——
