"How is that possible? Do you think I'm mentally ill? Is it better to be kicked out than to continue studying at the best school? And you clearly know that it wasn't my own selfish motive, so why did you still join in the fun—"
"But the tone of supporting you is completely based on the premise that we will be driven out of Mae Sot, isn't it?"
"The best mindset is to be prepared for danger in times of peace and to plan ahead—after all, expectations lead to disappointment, and the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."
He smoothed his neatly-knitted hair with his fingers. "Usually, setting a big goal for yourself is difficult to achieve. For example, a goal like reading 300,000 books sounds very scary. You might wonder if anyone can really do it. But if you set a goal to read three books a day, it would take 27 years to complete, and you would complete it unconsciously. There would be days when you were in a good mood and read a few more books, and there would be days when you were sick or busy and couldn't read. But generally speaking, if you can achieve your daily goals, it means that it will be completed in about 30 years."
"What are you going to do with 30,000 books..."
"I'm just giving an example—there are always people who set goals that are so grand and terrifying from the start—but if you ask me, that kind of determination is more like vanity than the pursuit of a dream. It's the vanity of wanting others to recognize you as someone with a dream. After all, even a thousand-mile journey is paved bit by bit, and it's walked bit by bit. If you want to reach the end in one breath, you may fall into a trap—"
Feng Ruye snapped his fingers and struck a rather exaggerated pose: "I, Feng Ruye, always seem to like setting big goals, but the truth might be just the opposite. I'm working hard and steadily. I like to set goals far away, but actually I accomplish them piece by piece."
He paused and said, "I never expect or hope, and I like to imagine how I'll move forward if I fail. No matter how the situation develops, I have a strategy to deal with it. It's better to say that before every move, I always assume that I will definitely fall into a pit. Qiu Feishuang, do you think I agreed to it on impulse without considering the cause and effect? No, you underestimate me too much. After thinking very, very seriously about the final outcome, I still decided to use myself as a bargaining chip."
He threw his arms and said, "Okay, you can applaud now!"
“Wow…”
"What is this person doing? Is he crazy?"
"I've heard that Senior Feng Ruye was a little off, but I didn't expect him to be this abnormal. Just now, out of kindness, I wanted to know if I had misunderstood him. But now it seems that my hidden kindness is a joke."
"Do you think of yourself as the protagonist of a comic or something..."
"Speech? So rustic—"
"So you still want to put on a show in front of the person you like? Unfortunately, if I were the one he likes, this wouldn't only not increase his favorability, but would actually decrease it."
"It doesn't matter." Feng Ruye said nonchalantly, "It's always hard for people to understand the true thoughts of geniuses—"
He raised his finger and pointed it at Chu Shangli, who was already preparing the third portion. "I was prepared for you to lose from the beginning, but if you deliberately let me win, I will never forgive you!"
