The little bespectacled man said proudly, "This is my first book. Five thousand copies have been printed, and I heard it's been well received. In this book, I mainly expounded on a point of view: that humans, in a certain sense, are not truly human."
Xia Tian asked, puzzled, "A person is a person, how can they not be a person?"
“Miss Xia, from an ordinary person’s perspective, a person is a person, and no one would doubt that. However, I believe that a person is a person, but also not a person. Because the concept of a person is itself a man-made creation. If you discard this concept, then a person is no longer a person.”
"If it's not human, then what is it?"
“Miss Xia, from a philosophical point of view, humans are just like everything else in this world. In the very early days, humans were not human. Perhaps they were apes or a kind of fungus. It was only through a long process of evolution that they became human. In the future, humans will continue to evolve, and after many years, humans will no longer be human. Simply put, humans were not human in the very early days, and they will not be human in the distant future. Therefore, humans are just a temporary phenomenon.”
Summer really couldn't understand what the point of Little Glasses researching this thing was.
Everyone knows that humans weren't human in the very early stages.
As for whether humans will still be human in the distant future, what's the point of researching that?
They're just bored and have nothing better to do.
Summer curled her lip and said dismissively, "What's the point of you studying this?"
“Miss Xia, I study humanity from a philosophical perspective. Through this question, I can reveal a truth: the world we face is unpredictable. Perhaps there is a mysterious force that governs this world. I call this mysterious force emptiness.”
Xia Tian thought Xiao Yanjing was a complete bookworm. She really couldn't understand how such a person could be a university professor. She was afraid that students educated with his views would become mentally ill.
Xia Tian glanced outside the Baixing Teahouse, but he didn't see the short man again.
It seems we've shaken off the person who was following us.
Summer laughed again, thinking: Right now, the short man must be extremely anxious. He's been dumped, and he probably won't be able to explain himself to his father.
Perhaps he would lie and say that everything was normal during his summer date with the little glasses.
The man with glasses said with dissatisfaction, "Miss Xia, you are very disrespectful to my book, which I find very regrettable."
"I...I didn't disrespect your book, did I?"
"Look at you, laughing at my book, and your smile is full of disdain and contempt! I protest! I strongly protest!!"
Summer really didn't want to continue talking to this bespectacled guy because they had absolutely nothing in common.
"Hey, aren't you being too sensitive? I think you care too much about other people's smiles. As soon as someone smiles, you feel it's impolite or an invasion of your personality. I also want to express my strong protest!"
"Miss Xia, I have the right to ask you to explain why you're laughing at my book?"
"Heh... What right do you have to make me explain? I'm not going to explain."
Summer finally spotted Ma Yuntian in a corner of the teahouse, and blinked her eyes pleadingly.
“Miss Xia, you…you have a serious prejudice against intellectuals. From the moment we met, your eyes were filled with disdain. I am a philosopher, and I am very good at reading people. I ask you to explain: why do you despise me?”
A waiter came over and asked, "What would you two like?"
Summer said, "Give me a pot of Longjing tea, two plates of melon seeds, and a few plates of snacks and fruit."
The man with glasses said unhappily, "Miss Xia, you...you are very disrespectful to me."
"What's wrong?"
"You didn't ask for my opinion at all when you ordered the food, as if I were invisible."
Summer said bluntly, "Bookworm, didn't you just say that in Western countries everything is ladies first? So, shouldn't ladies get priority when ordering food too?"
"Ladies first is fine, but you can't treat men like they don't exist. You should have asked me for my opinion, asked me: What kind of tea do you like to drink? What kind of snacks do you like to eat? The problem is: you didn't ask me at all before ordering."
Xia Tian said with a grin, "I just ordered all my favorite foods. As for what you like to eat, I don't know. You can order whatever you like. Anyway, we'll each pay our own way."
The man with glasses was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He rebuked her, "Miss Xia, you...you lack manners."
In the summer, I put my feet up on the chair, took off my socks, and started picking at my toes.
The boy with glasses stared at the scene in astonishment, almost speechless.
"You...you actually picked your toes in public, that's...that's too barbaric."
Summer put the hand that was picking at her toes under her nose and smelled it, saying, "I wash my feet every day, and my feet are just as clean as my hands. Since hands can be exposed, why can't feet enjoy the same treatment as hands? I think you are discriminating against feet."
"Miss Xia, hands and feet are both organs of the human body, but there are differences between them."
"I'd like to hear what the difference is between hands and feet. In this society, there are many people who don't have hands, but they make full use of their feet, treating them like hands. Don't you know that?"
The little bespectacled boy stammered, "The problem is: you have hands, right? If you don't have hands, then of course you can use your feet as hands."
"I think this question is very debatable. Why can feet be used as hands when hands are absent, but feet cannot be used as hands when hands are present?"
The boy with glasses was stumped; he opened his mouth, speechless, unsure how to answer.
Yes, when you don't have hands, you can use your feet as hands. So why can't you use your feet as hands when you have hands?
Clearly, this issue is indeed worth discussing.
If feet could be used as hands, then even stretching one's feet onto a table in the summer would be an acceptable act.
Xia Tian chuckled and said, "Bookworm, this is a very worthwhile question to study. Studying this question is more valuable than studying whether humans are human or not."
The little man with glasses had no answer.
To be honest, Xiao Yanjing fell in love with Xia Tian the moment he saw her.
Xiao Yanjing is already thirty years old and has been on more than ten blind dates. However, every time he sees the other person, he feels dissatisfied and has never felt love at first sight.
Today was an exception. When he saw Xia Tian, he shivered all over and felt a tingling sensation.
Is this what electric shock is?
The boy with glasses was convinced that Xia Tian was the one he was looking for.
Despite Xia Tian's rudeness and uncivilized behavior, Xiao Yanjing still didn't want to give up on her. He felt that everything could be changed.
