Bai Xiaoqian's father and Bai Xiaoqian looked at each other and smiled——
What's going on, this feeling?
A strange emotion surged in Chu Shangli's heart——
Bai Xiaoqian's father's words, because Bai Xiaoqian did not understand Bai Xiaoqian's father's experience, so of course she could not understand what such thoughts meant to Bai Xiaoqian's father -
But what she could distill was probably the concept that "everyone uses their own experience as a yardstick for the concept of 'normal'. When you believe that you are right, you are right."
Chu Shangli has always been using his own experience as a yardstick, just as Bai Xiaoqian's father said.
The concept of "right", the concept of "normal", the concept of "happiness" -
The concept of "wrong", the concept of "abnormal", the concept of "pain" -
Therefore, whenever Chu Shangli does something, he will always firmly believe in the legitimacy of his actions.
Even when she had trained in various assassination methods in her previous life and wanted to kill people, and when she actually killed people, as well as her various choices now, she was basically based on her firm belief in her own legitimacy.
Of course, even though Chu Shangli had doubts about Chu He and her father, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the way she, her brother, and their father got along.
Just like how she and Wei Shengfan got along in her previous life.
Even if there is a crack in the mirror, the conclusion drawn is simply "I am already happy enough, in fact, fairy tales are all lies, such situations will never happen in reality", and one distorts one's own not-so-pleasant experience into normality.
However, if one believes that "fairy tales are all lies," then the blood, abuse, violence, terror, and despair that exist in fairy tales should probably not exist.
So, in the final analysis, after experiencing pain, what we deny is not the fairy tale, but the redemption of these pains in the fairy tale.
The pain and misery in fairy tales are real, while happiness, joy, love and peace are false.
I need to find a balance in the cracks——
However, what is now presented before my eyes is the so-called "reality".
But I also seemed to be watching from outside the frame——
Chu Shangli suddenly discovered that what emerged in his heart was not the dark emotions of "jealousy" or "curse", but the desire to believe -
She discovered the "longing" buried deep in her heart.
I hope everything in front of me is real——
The conversation between Bai Xiaoqian's father and mother, and the tacit understanding between Bai Xiaoqian and her family.
She hoped that everything before her eyes was not Liuwu's fantasy dream, but reality.
"That's great." Chu Shangli murmured, "It's something I haven't really seen before. Everything I've seen is a construct—"
"Huh?" Tan Xing squinted at her with a strange look. "Why? Luo Dongxia, have you been infected by them too?"
"Probably, yes." Chu Shangli said softly.
"Wouldn't it be great if we were infected?" Bai Xiaoqian's father snapped his fingers. "If we were infected, we could have a tea party!"
"..." Tan Xing curled his lips and held his forehead.
"Hey, kid, you don't seem to have any dreams. Even the mind has room for dreams. It seems the scars left behind are more serious than the temporary space for illusions—it's almost bleeding. This pain is what keeps you constantly in an unnecessary state of 'calmness' and 'awakeness'."
Tan Xing trembled in fear, just like when he was pointed out that the stun gun was fake.
