"Please give me another chance!"
"I beg you, please give me another chance!"
Yin Xiaochuan walked into the cafeteria, presented himself to the person who once trusted him, and expressed his request.
Faced with the sincere Yin Xiaochuan, most of the students could not say no. Even if they did not want to agree, they would still say "let me think about it".
Yin Xiaochuan didn't expect everyone to be as enthusiastic in supporting him as they were last time. All he needed was an opportunity, an opportunity to have a conversation.
A voice sounded:
"Yin Xiaochuan, why should we trust you again?"
The person who was speaking was not a picky villain. On the contrary, the fair-skinned Gao Xiaolong looked like a modest gentleman walking out of an ancient scroll, and his behavior was worthy of being described as a gentleman like jade.
But at this time, Gao Xiaolong said sarcastically: "What you want to do is no different from fooling around. It's just like a boring game of children playing house. It's enough for me to play with you once... What? Don't you think it's enough?"
After Gao Xiaolong stepped forward to take the lead, others finally dared to stand up and speak out their true thoughts:
"Who wants to play the rebellion game with you again?"
"Yin Xiaochuan...haven't you made us miserable enough?"
Before Yin Xiaochuan could speak, his supporters behind him could no longer bear to hear him and asked:
"Why did it happen to you? Does it mean that the revolution will definitely succeed? When you joined, were you not prepared to fail and pay the price? - Or did you join from the beginning with the mentality that you would definitely succeed and benefit from it?"
“Isn’t that miserable enough?” The student stood up angrily and slapped the nutritious meal in his hand. “I used to be an average person! But I listened to Brother Xiaolong. Now I have to get up before dawn to work, and I still have to eat these tasteless lunches.”
"Brother Xiaolong was once a high-ranking person, but now he has to get up early with us to take care of the lawn! Don't you think you have no responsibility at all?"
The supporter said sternly: "Not only are you middle-class and upper-class people, I am also middle-class! If you don't even have this awareness and can't even bear this hardship, then you'd better stick to your middle-class identity and be a good boy again!"
"--nonsense!"
What this fan didn't expect was that the person who interrupted was none other than Yin Xiaochuan.
Yin Xiaochuan glanced at his fans and explained softly, "Our goal is a better future. Even if we encounter some difficulties and setbacks in the process, our purpose has never been to endure hardships, let alone endure hardships for the sake of enduring hardships!"
After that, Yin Xiaochuan looked at Gao Xiaolong and said, "I'm sorry for the loss I caused you!"
"No need to apologize, what he said makes sense. Since you have chosen to do something, you need to be prepared to take the risk of failure in advance. But now, we will no longer join any of your actions! Never!"
"Can you give me one last chance to convince you?"
Gao Xiaolong thought about it, and with the mentality of parting ways amicably, he said: "Okay, I'll give you one last chance to convince us, but I believe that we won't be convinced by you. Even if they are convinced by you, I won't be convinced by you."
"It's not too late to talk about these things later."
Yin Xiaochuan raised his head and looked around at the people around him. They were waiting for his words like plants waiting for sunlight.
And this time, the souls of countless powerful speakers seemed to appear in Yin Xiaochuan's body.
Like human rights leaders who protest against skin color shouting 'I have a dream'.
Like a pioneer called 'an ordinary person' walking into the masses.
It also sounds like the desperate cry of a person who is unwilling to accept defeat in a beer hall. (This is crossed out)
Yin Xiaochuan faced the gaze that was fixed on him and said:
"——Why did we fail?"
"What the principal said is right. We are just a group of lost lambs who don't know where to go. We don't even know what we really want - how can we get what we want?"
"How can we win if we don't even know what victory is?"
"So, I asked myself on behalf of everyone present here - what do we want? What do we really want?"
"Yin Xiaochuan, what exactly do you want?"
"I don't really want to talk about my family. My father is a very violent man, like a cruel slave owner. He always orders me to do anything without reason, and doesn't allow me to have any dissatisfaction. I can only feel a little tenderness from my mother occasionally... Unfortunately, my mother has almost no opinion of her own. She believes everything that others say, but not me."
"So, she became my father's 'accomplice' in disciplining me."
"I refused to accept it... So, I was sent to the academy in Gan Province. There, the worst time for me was when I was punished to kneel down and recite the "Book of Filial Piety" for two days. I can still recite it from memory. I was a thorn in the eyes of the teacher because..."
"I still don't accept it!"
"Then, I came here. At the beginning, I was still unconvinced. I was unconvinced with everyone and every system, but gradually, I felt that this place was not bad, and I suddenly began to be convinced. I thought maybe this was the life I wanted."
"But—this isn't it!"
"In a panic, I suddenly realized that none of us were happy. I suddenly noticed that everyone was not satisfied with their current lives... There were no strict parents here, no torture or punishment, so why were we still so unhappy?"
"I felt that I had moved from a small cage called 'home' to a large cage in the academy, and finally to freedom here... Only then did I suddenly realize that I had fallen into a new cage. The only thing is that this cage is the most different - I was willing to get into it."
"When I realized that everything was wrong, I found that my body, my heart, and my soul were all imprisoned by something called 'the system'."
“I asked myself:
Yin Xiaochuan, what do you want?
"At this moment, I finally figured out the answer that I should have figured out long ago. From home to the academy, and then to this place that is like a concentrated society, we are imprisoned in a cage all the time. It controls our bodies, suppresses our minds, and enslaves our souls—"
"What I really wanted—turns out to be liberation!"
"I want to liberate my body and my spirit!"
"I want to liberate a free and uninhibited soul!"
“…Why should we fight?”
"Not for others, but for ourselves!"
"We are fighting for our own liberation! We are fighting for our free nature! We are fighting for our own souls that are not enslaved! - We are fighting to liberate all mankind from physical and spiritual slavery!"
“How can we give up the struggle?”
