Inner Tranquility. Amidst this seemingly ordinary daily routine, Xiao Yi found a peaceful corner of his heart. Whenever night fell, and the stars twinkled across the vast sky, Xiao Yi would sit alone on the rooftop of the base, gazing up at the dazzling starry sky. A gentle breeze brushed his face, bringing a touch of coolness, as if gently caressing his soul. In this tranquility, he was no longer disturbed by the clamor and chaos of the outside world. His thoughts drifted freely, like light feathers. He recalled past experiences: fierce battles, life-or-death decisions, the pain of loss, all becoming distant and blurred in that moment. He listened to the voice deep within him, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility. No more tension or anxiety, no more fear of the unknown. His mind, like the surface of a calm lake, reflected the stars in the sky, clear and transparent. Sometimes, he would close his eyes and lose himself in this stillness, letting his breathing blend with the rhythm of nature around him. Every inhale and exhale is like a silent dialogue with the world, conveying inner peace and contentment. In this quiet corner, Xiao Yi would reflect on the meaning and value of life. He understood that life is not just about survival and fighting, but also about savoring those small yet beautiful moments, cherishing the people and things around him, and discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. He would recall the warm smiles, kind greetings, and selfless help. These little bits of beauty dotted his life like stars, filling his heart with gratitude and love. This quiet corner became his spiritual safe haven, where he could find comfort and strength no matter how turbulent the outside world. In this seemingly ordinary daily life, Xiao Yi's inner world became richer and stronger. He learned to grow in tranquility and to uphold his beliefs and pursuits in peace.
The joy of gaming and the sweat of running brought him a long-lost sense of freedom and joy. When Xiao Yi was immersed in the world of gaming, time seemed to freeze, and everything around him ceased to matter. The vibrant graphics and thrilling plot on the screen seemed to open a portal to a fantastical world for him. He deftly manipulated the game controller, each movement precise and decisive. In the game, he could be a fearless warrior, charging into battle to defeat evil foes, or a brilliant puzzle solver, overcoming numerous obstacles and uncovering mysteries. Every time he completed a difficult task or achieved a resounding victory, he couldn't help but cheer, a childlike smile spreading across his face. In that moment, all stress and worries were cast aside, and he seemed to have returned to being the carefree teenager he once was, savoring the joy of gaming. And while running, Xiao Yi felt a different kind of freedom. He donned comfortable sports gear and, with a firm step, set out on the familiar path. As his breathing grew heavier, sweat dripped from his forehead and trickled down his cheeks. His body brimmed with strength and vitality. He felt the wind whistling in his ears and the ground beneath his feet receding. Each step felt like breaking free from his constraints and sprinting toward freedom. His thoughts cleared as he ran, and the problems that plagued him and the repressed emotions he felt were expelled along with the sweat. As he ran, he saw flowers blooming along the roadside, heard the cheerful song of birds, and felt the embrace of nature. In this moment, he was no longer bound by rules and responsibilities, simply enjoying the exercise of his body and the release of his soul. When he finished the set distance and paused to catch his breath, an incomparable sense of joy washed over him. This joy came not only from the physical exercise, but also from the fulfillment of his inner pursuit of freedom. The joy of the game and the sweat of running became the most precious moments in Xiao Yi's life. In this world full of challenges and uncertainties, he rediscovered the long-lost freedom and joy, and brought nourishment and comfort to his soul.
"No matter what happens outside, I must cherish this moment of peace." He knew such moments were hard-earned. Xiao Yi sat alone on a large rock at the edge of the base, gazing at the surging floodwaters in the distance, repeating these words silently in his heart. His eyes were firm yet gentle, as if he wanted to etch this moment of tranquility deeply into his heart. He recalled the days of struggling to survive in the apocalypse. Back then, every day was a race against death, every moment filled with fear and despair. Hunger, disease, and violence, like demons, clung to them, making it nearly impossible to breathe. He remembered the difficult times of scavenging for food among the ruins, risking their lives fighting for a single sip of clean water. Huddled in their simple shelters amidst the raging storm, listening to the roar of the world outside, uncertain whether they would still be alive tomorrow. Now, this rare moment of peace felt like a precious gift from heaven. He looked up at the white clouds drifting across the sky, felt the gentle breeze caressing his cheek, and listened to the soft hum of insects around him. These seemingly ordinary scenes, after enduring countless hardships, seemed so precious and beautiful. Xiao Yi took a deep breath, and the air was filled with a fresh scent, the scent of freedom and hope. He knew that this peaceful time might be fleeting, and the outside world was still full of unknowns and dangers. But he also understood that precisely because of this, he had to feel this moment with all his heart, treasure it deep in his memory, and let it become the strength that supports him to move forward. He gently stroked the stone under his feet, as if communicating with it, thanking it for providing him with a corner where he could think quietly in this turbulent world. "No matter what the outside world is like, I will cherish this moment of tranquility." He said again in his heart, his voice was soft, but full of determination. Xiao Yi knew that the road ahead was still long, and there would be countless challenges waiting for him. But as long as he carried this tranquility and yearning for a better life in his heart, he had the courage to face everything.
