Chapter 112 Philosophy of Life
The stars in the sky tonight are unusually bright, and there are many more of them than in previous nights. Big and small stars are shining with their own light, as if they are outside the world, in a distant place that is difficult to reach, which may be as dreamy as the stars.
The starry sky is boundless. When you look up at the starry sky, no matter how noisy the insects are in your ears, it always gives you an indescribable sense of silence.
It was as if all thoughts were sucked in and swallowed up by the starry sky, and the world was left with only the boundless sea of stars in the eyes.
Ye Mu put his hands on his shoulders and said:
"What else can you look at besides the stars?"
Song Yanzhou carried her on his back and continued walking forward, asking:
"No idea about Wu Yueying's situation?"
Ye Mu relaxed again, leaned on his back, looked at the road ahead, and said casually:
"You said she won't stay in the military zone, so of course I have no other ideas."
"There's no need to kill her. She offended me first, and now she's been punished accordingly, which will be considered a solution to this incident."
"But, are you asking me this because you want to show some favoritism for me? If I make excessive demands, will you find a way to achieve the results I want?"
Ye Mu lowered his head and stared at Song Yanzhou's profile curiously. Song Yanzhou seemed to have noticed something and tilted his head slightly, but then he realized that the distance was too close, so he quickly turned his head and looked forward:
"Of course not. Since I am in the army, I cannot do something that violates military regulations."
“That doesn’t fit my philosophy.”
"Philosophy?" Ye Mu repeated, curiously asking, "Why did you join the army? What is your philosophy? Is it related to your beliefs? Or is it related to your ideals?"
Song Yanzhou didn't expect Ye Mu to ask this, and said directly: "Joining the army is naturally for the country and the people. This is also my philosophy in the army, but what is more important in the army is to abide by discipline. It is absolutely not allowed to bend the law for personal gain. It will corrupt our organization and the army, and make the army become a mess. By then, such an army can neither protect the people nor the country."
Although it was summarized in a brief sentence, after Song Yanzhou finished speaking, he inexplicably expected Ye Mu to continue to ask questions on this topic, and also wanted to know what kind of life philosophy Ye Mu would have...
However, although he had such thoughts in his mind, Song Yanzhou did not say anything more after he finished speaking. He slowed down his pace as he carried her on his back, as if he was taking a walk under the starry sky.
Ye Mu's life used to be more focused on the world rather than individuals or a certain planet. Of course, she had a contract with her mother planet, and she was raised by the planetary government. After she grew up, no matter what planet she was from, she must make contributions to her mother planet.
She still loves the civilization and culture of the planet where she was born, but she also likes the colorful freedom of the interstellar world.
Therefore, Ye Mu has a sense of responsibility towards her home planet, but not as strong as Song Yanzhou's. She can understand Song Yanzhou's emotions, but she is also very curious why Song Yanzhou, who is so cold and icy, has such a strong sense of responsibility.
It is just like the glaciers floating in the polar oceans, what is hidden beneath the sea surface is not the cold, but the fire that melts the ice and snow.
The heat of emotion is as hot as the blood flowing in the heart.
"Why is it for the country and the people? Isn't it for yourself?"
She couldn't help but ask another question. She could see that Song Yanzhou was not the kind of person who liked to say empty and pretentious words, so she became even more confused.
Hearing her ask this, Song Yanzhou thought what a coincidence, as if they had telepathic connection. He somewhat hoped that Ye Mu would continue asking. Inexplicably, he wanted to tell her more about this, and she actually continued asking like that.
It was also somewhat expected. After all, since she was completely exposed in the past two days, he didn't know what Ye Mu was like in front of others, but in front of him, Ye Mu always talked a lot.
When chatting, she would even talk about some bizarre mechanical imaginations. Song Yanzhou didn't quite understand them, but he felt that what she said was too idealistic and impossible to achieve.
He said:
"Have you ever heard the phrase 'Study for the Rise of Xiazhou'? ”
Ye Mu shook his head: "No."
I have heard the oath of the Interstellar United Army - for the sake of interstellar peace, the future of the universe and everything for mankind, we will unite into an army and never be defeated!
Song Yanzhou was not surprised that she had never heard of it:
“I hadn’t heard of it before.”
"What I know more about is Mr. Ying's words."
"I have an aunt who is ten years older than me. She studied abroad for five years. After she came back, she had a great influence on me."
"Of course my memory is not as good as yours, but among the children in our compound at that time, my memory was the best. My aunt dressed very...beautifully, and she learned it from abroad. She described herself as fashionable."
"She was a very romantic person. After returning from abroad, she became a foreign language teacher. I think she wanted to change my mother, but compared to my aunt, my mother was also an old revolutionary and did not accept her ideas at all. So my aunt taught me a lot instead."
"However, I was also influenced by my parents and ignored her at first, so she changed her method to get my attention."
"What method?" Ye Mu didn't expect that his simple question would make Song Yanzhou talk directly about his past.
It sounds like Song Yanzhou's childhood life was quite interesting?
"Do you know poetry? But it's not something you can talk about now. I was unlucky at the time and was assigned to her class. My aunt forced me to memorize a lot of Tang poetry and ancient prose as a teacher. They are... things written by ancient people a long time ago."
Worried that Ye Mu didn't understand, Song Yanzhou explained it in detail, and Ye Mu nodded, not quite understanding.
In fact, I understood it in my mind. What Song Yanzhou was talking about was the Imperial Chronicles - a representative cultural work of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course she knew, and she had also learned and memorized it. The Azure Star Cultural Government has always attached great importance to establishing cultural identity for the people of the planet.
"After I got used to reciting poems, my aunt actually asked me to recite poetry from outside Xiazhou. I had never heard of those poets, but in order to avoid being nagging by my aunt, I had to recite them. This can be considered as the success of her plan."
As he spoke, his thoughts seemed to drift away. Ye Mu glanced at his profile and listened to him continue to recount the past events:
“At that time, I felt that these things were useless.”
"The men in our family must join the army. I also agree with my other cousins. They don't need to learn too much cultural knowledge. It is enough to train their bodies well."
At this point, Song Yanzhou frowned slightly, as if recalling some unpleasant memories:
"But when I was sixteen..."
He suddenly shut his mouth and stopped talking. He remembered that the young Ye Mu was pushed to the stage in this year, so it was better not to mention these things.
