Ji Xiaoxiao spoke from the bottom of her heart, and the living room fell silent.
The tall floor lamp next to the sofa cast a deep, dim yellow light. Its shade was open at the top, revealing an oval halo above, possessing the incomplete beauty of a setting sun.
Faced with Ji Xiaoxiao's question, Mei Taohua remained silent for a long time.
The dim light fell on Mei Taohua, making his handsome face, as beautiful as a peach blossom, appear dizzyingly drowsy. He seemed like a celestial being from the heavens, to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.
After a while, Plum Blossom said, “Indeed, we will not forget the sacrifices and contributions of the saviors, but people’s hearts are fickle. If they are not controlled and restrained, the saviors possess immense power to destroy the world, but they are also too free and wild. Who knows if they will harm ordinary people? I want to establish a mechanism to regulate the words and deeds of all the saviors, so that they can play their greatest role under this mechanism and not waste their innate abilities.”
Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes in thought, gently stroking her belly.
Plum Blossom waited a moment, then said, "If so, you are also a savior. Haven't you ever felt resentment towards ordinary people? Resented the trouble they caused, and resented their incompetence?"
Ji Xiaoxiao sat up straight and said seriously, "Peach Blossom, have you deified the savior? No matter how powerful the savior is, we are still just human beings with emotions and desires. It is normal and natural for ordinary people to love, hate, be angry, or be infatuated. Does that mean the savior should be emotionless and without desires, acting only according to what is right and wrong? Isn't it going too far for you to make such a demand of us? We were not born to sacrifice our lives and everything for anyone."
What is the purpose of human life?
Is it to live a life of self-degradation, to fulfill the needs of others, and then to die?
No, in Ji Xiaoxiao's own opinion, life is short, only a few decades. It's about living life to the fullest, enjoying life, and living it to the fullest.
Don't even dream about Ji Xiaoxiao compromising herself for others; that's impossible.
Others' happiness and joy are their own business. What do you gain by suffering, toiling, starving, and freezing for others? What can you possibly gain? Open your eyes wide and see clearly: in this cold and indifferent world, who cares about anyone else's life or death?
Everyone should sweep the snow from their own doorstep and not worry about the frost on someone else's roof.
Ji Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed and glared fiercely at Mei Taohua.
"Peach Blossom, our savior doesn't need your high regard. Just treat us as human beings."
Mei Taohua's lips twitched, her brows furrowed, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. But then, remembering that Ji Xiaoxiao was wearing a double dress, she finally kept her mouth tightly shut.
My wife is pregnant, so I can't talk back to her.
A good husband should always remember the doctor's advice.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
Mei Taohua moved to Ji Xiaoxiao's side and opened her arms to embrace her.
Ji Xiaoxiao rested her chin on Mei Taohua's shoulder, pouted, and refused to shut up.
Now is not a good time to talk; we have to wait until we get to that point.
Although Mei Taohua may seem frivolous and superficial, his nature can be summed up in one word: stubborn. Once he's made up his mind about something, nothing can sway him.
It would be best to hold off on persuading Mei Taohua to commit suicide for now, and discuss the matter later.
Ji Xiaoxiao was embraced by Mei Taohua, and a sense of security enveloped her as she slowly closed her eyes.
Mei Taohua called softly several times, but Ji Xiaoxiao did not answer. After observing her, she realized that she had fallen asleep.
"If that's the case, I just want to protect you, but I'm afraid..."
As Mei Taohua smelled the fragrance of Ji Xiaoxiao's hair, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
"I don't want anything to happen to you."
Living well is more important than anything else.
"Ring ring ring..." The alarm clock rang precisely on time.
Ji Xiaoxiao lazed on the bed for about ten minutes before finally getting herself ready.
I went outside and shouted, but no one answered. It seems that Plum Blossom has gone out again.
Ji Xiaoxiao had breakfast and cultivated for most of the day. As the sun set and Mei Taohua still hadn't returned, Ji Xiaoxiao was starving and couldn't resist any longer, so she grabbed her wallet and went to a restaurant.
Walking down the street, Ji Xiaoxiao was dressed in unfashionable clothes, wearing a mask and a big hat. Despite being the world-famous, ethereal goddess, no one recognized her.
"It's best if no one bothers me," Ji Xiaoxiao hummed a little tune as she walked along the food street for a while. The delicious smell made her feet feel rooted to the spot, and she couldn't move anymore.
In front of me was a noodle shop, no more than thirty square meters in size, with hardly any customers eating or drinking; it was quite deserted.
Unable to resist the aroma, Ji Xiaoxiao rushed into the shop.
"Miss, what would you like to order? We have... here."
As soon as Ji Xiaoxiao entered, she was warmly welcomed by the staff.
"Give me a basket of steamed dumplings first, and a big bowl of beef noodles, remember to add some spice."
Ji Xiaoxiao took the menu, looked at it carefully, and then ordered several items in a row.
After waiting a while, the steamed dumplings arrived.
Ji Xiaoxiao hurriedly picked up her chopsticks, but before she could even put the food in her mouth, an explosion occurred directly opposite the noodle shop.
Explosions, cries, chatter, and the clicking of cell phones—all sorts of sounds filled the air, yet not a single person called the police.
Ji Xiaoxiao calmly ate a steamed dumpling to fill her stomach, then casually pulled over the shop assistant next to her and asked, "They were just standing there dumbfounded, why didn't they call the police sooner? The sooner the police arrived, the greater the chance of survival for the trapped people, right?"
The shop assistant, unconcerned, exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, our savior will be here soon. Call the police? Why bother? We'll just wait!"
Was calling the police unnecessary?
