He posed a soul-searching question.
In fact, if it were a child from a later generation, they could simply say, "I can buy a game."
But Wang Siren couldn't do that, because even the Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System) didn't appear until 1983. There weren't that many games available then.
Wang Siren ultimately couldn't resist the old fox's persuasion. After thinking it over carefully, he shook his head: "I can't do it."
What he enjoys is the thrill of completing a game; once a game is finished, it has no meaning for him anymore.
"Therefore, playing video games is unlikely to become a lifelong hobby. I always believe that people need to find something to strive for. If a person is idle all day, then their life will be very boring. Don't you feel a little bored now?"
"Mhm." Wang Siren nodded repeatedly.
In fact, this is a problem for most second-generation rich kids.
Born with everything, they struggle but find no goals or grand ideals, drifting aimlessly, bored out of their minds. This leads to many rich kids getting into trouble because they have too much free time.
"Well then, I can give you a suggestion."
"What?" Wang Siren's eyes lit up.
"You could try creating a game."
“Create a game.”
"Yeah, think about it. Playing a game is just you following someone else's rules. But creating a game is like creating a world. Others come to your world to play, watch your world, and complete your world. Isn't that a cool idea?"
"Cool!" Wang Siren nodded vigorously.
Whether it's difficult or not is another matter; being cool is something for a lifetime!
Creating a world, that would be so cool!
“Then you can consider going down this path.” Wang Shouren chuckled, trying to coax the human cub whose eyes still shone with light. “However, there’s a lot to learn along the way.”
"Then... what should I study?" Wang Siren asked.
“You can ask your mom; she knows more than I do,” Wang Shouren said cheerfully.
He wasn't really sure what he needed to learn. If it were game development in later generations, Wang Shouren would know about programming, text, world-building, and a whole host of other things. But in this era, well, sorry. Computers weren't even widespread yet. This kind of problem could simply be left to Lou Xiao'e to handle.
"good!"
"You're not confused anymore, are you?"
"Um!"
"Then let's take your little sister to play."
"Alright!"
Children's troubles come and go quickly, and Wang Shouren didn't believe Wang Siren would steadfastly continue down this path. Because this path was fraught with thorns, and not everyone could persevere. Pioneers are always full of passion and courage, and all Wang Shouren could do was ensure he didn't leave him with regrets, nor stifle his passion.
That's all. As a parent, Wang Shouren believed that he had only grasped a small part of the rules of this world. He had simply shared his experience with Wang Siren, and it was up to Wang Siren to decide how to choose.
Lou Xiao'e came out of the room and lay down on the recliner next to him.
"Did your son want to talk to you?"
"You know?" Wang Shouren asked, somewhat surprised. "Why didn't you tell him what to do?"
"Shouldn't Dad tell him this kind of thing? Besides, even if he grows up to be a spendthrift, it doesn't matter, as long as he's happy."
Wang Shouren: ...
Goodness, how much does Lou Xiao'e spoil her child?
It's understandable, though. In the first half of Lou Xiao'e's life, wanting a child was almost an obsession. After having a child, this obsession transformed into a domineering maternal love. Fortunately, this woman remained romantically inclined and didn't object to Wang Shouren educating Wang Siren. Luckily, Wang Siren didn't go astray; he was merely a bit playful.
"What are your plans for the future?" Wang Shouren looked at the stars in the sky. Tonight, the stars were few and far between, and it would take some effort to catch a glimpse of a twinkling star in the sky.
Lou Xiao'e blinked and looked at Wang Shouren: "What do you mean by asking that? What? You want me to go to Beijing?"
"Yes, you know, that yard is very big."
“But I still like it here.” Lou Xiao’e stretched and picked up where Wang Shouren left off: “Beijing is nice, but the memories I have of that place aren’t so wonderful. Besides, Wang Siren is studying here, he can’t just transfer here. Moreover, don’t you need someone to look after your shop in Hong Kong? I’m just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so why don’t you give me a job as the finance manager?”
Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Okay."
The two tacitly stopped discussing the topic and began talking about the happy moments they had experienced with their families these past few days.
At night, the two lay in bed.
Lou Xiao'e suddenly asked, "Do you think this person must be living for others?"
Wang Shouren paused for a moment, then remained silent.
“Speak up, I know you’re not asleep.”
"I have no idea."
"you do not know?"
"Well, I don't know. Everyone has their own way of living, and I have no right to interfere in other people's lives."
After Wang Shouren finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back and couldn't help but gasp.
"So, you just want to trespass into other people's lives and cheat them?" Lou Xiao'e said through gritted teeth.
Lou Xiao'e is still the same Lou Xiao'e, and her love-struck mind is still the same love-struck mind. In a world where love is paramount, there is no room for a third party.
From beginning to end, Lou Xiao'e was proud. From the moment she married Xu Damao, she wanted to tame him and transform him into the husband she imagined. She found herself failing, but this failure did not leave a shadow on her. She changed her target and discovered the interesting Wang Shouren. When it became clear that Xu Damao could no longer be tamed, she turned to Wang Shouren.
From her pregnancy to her trip to Hong Kong, she has always been full of confidence. She believes that time and distance create beauty.
The longer she waited, the more at ease she became. In this world, no beauty is immune to the ravages of time. She knew that when she returned, she would likely see two middle-aged women. Then, she would be able to successfully take their place.
But when she arrived in Beijing and saw the still youthful and beautiful Qin Jingru and the mature and alluring Qin Huairu, she knew that her idea had failed.
So she changed her mind and decided to integrate into the family.
During their time together, she discovered that both of the Qin sisters were very kind.
