Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 161 Living a Good Daily Life
"Hmm... I find this kind of question difficult to answer as well."

Ye Qing scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed: "After all, I'm an orphan, where would I get any relatives?"

For a moment, there was silence.

Very well, Master Ye killed the topic at the very beginning of the conversation and initiated a silence, causing everyone to fall into an awkward silence.

She spoke so eloquently, so eloquently, that Ai Liang was completely speechless.

"Hehe, just kidding. Although I don't have any blood relatives, I do have people I care about." Ye Qing stuck out her pink tongue and smiled at Ai Liang to break the awkwardness.

"Well, I've encountered quite a few troubles over the years, and I could barely call it a series of hardships. There are also a few people who care about me."

"For example, Aunt Lin, the caregiver who took care of me at the orphanage, or Sister Lan, the supermarket owner, what if they suddenly passed away... I mean, what if."

Realizing she had misspoke, Ye Qing quickly added a premise.

"If they really died in an accident, I would definitely be sad and heartbroken, but I would never do something like suicide."

Ye Qing looked up at the sky: "Everyone has a different personality and way of thinking. If you can't understand it, why don't you just not try to understand it?"

"Don't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering. I won't agree with their actions, but I also won't laugh at their foolishness."

Everyone's capacity to cope is different. The hardships they experience may be trivial matters for some people, but for others, they may lead to a tragedy.

Every person is a unique individual; forcing oneself to understand others is meaningless. If everyone could understand and empathize with each other's feelings, the world would have long since become a utopia.

Ye Qing sighed helplessly at this point.

Ai Liang pondered Ye Qing's words; he naturally understood these principles as well.

However, what I'm facing isn't whether I understand or not other people's feelings, but rather that my emotions are gradually dissipating.

While Ai Liang was still deep in thought, Ye Qing spoke up: "However, this shouldn't be the problem troubling you, right?"

Ye Qing's question came suddenly, and Ai Liang didn't expect that this optimist would notice this.

Even though I always had a blank expression, how did she know?

"Hehe, are you wondering how I figured it out?"

Ye Qing covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

"How did you know?"

Since things had come to this point, there was no point in hiding it any longer, so Ai Liang simply asked directly.

Ye Qing cleared her throat triumphantly, as if she were preparing for a speech.

"Ahem... You're the incredibly mature Wei Liang, you should know the answer to this kind of question very well."

In the five years we've known each other, you've completely ignored your own parents, only occasionally making sarcastic remarks.

How could someone like you suddenly be troubled by this kind of problem? So your worries definitely aren't about this.

Ye Qing said with absolute certainty.

This is the result of people becoming too familiar with each other.

Others can easily notice your abnormalities through some small details, so during the period when Ai Liang played the role of a hermit from the age of five to ten, she rarely interacted with people.

Ye Qing spoke to Ai Liang in the tone of a preschool teacher educating a child: "Good children should honestly express their troubles."

'A sixteen-year-old girl.'

Ai Liang muttered a sentence to herself.

However, Ai Liang always felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Ye Qing, not knowing whether it was because she was attracted by Ye Qing's kindness or for some other reason.

Perhaps it was because the two were very familiar with each other, or perhaps it was that sense of closeness that made them so.

Ai Liang frankly stated her problem: "I've noticed that my emotions are gradually disappearing. In the past, when faced with those tragic stories, I would feel sad and upset, but recently I've become used to it."

"And then?" Ye Qing pressed.

“That’s all,” Ai Liang replied.

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Wow, I thought you were worried about something, but it's just this kind of problem?"

Ye Qing leaned back on the bench, looking rather uninterested: "Isn't this just a case of aesthetic fatigue? It's normal to become indifferent after experiencing the same formula so many times."

Ai Liang emphasized the key point: "What if this aesthetic fatigue has become so severe that even encountering a tragedy in reality wouldn't cause any psychological reaction?"

"When a car accident happens on the road, there are quite a few people who just stand by and watch, aren't there?"

Ye Qing casually gave an example.

Ai Liang looked at Ye Qing very seriously and said earnestly, "But I don't want to become that kind of person."

Ai Liang knew very well what a heartless and ruthless superpowered person would do if he really became cold and ruthless.

In Gao Bin's memory, the actions of the Apostles' Society members had already served as a warning to Ai Liang.

Moreover, out of his own will, he didn't want to become like that, because that would undoubtedly be a denial of his past self.

"Don't worry, how could reading books turn you into that kind of person?" Ye Qing said lazily.

"You'll only know once you experience it... Did something bad happen to you today?"

As if she had just realized what was happening, she pushed off the ground with both feet and sat up straight from her supine position.

Ai Liang said calmly, "I overheard someone's suicide, but I don't sympathize with her plight. I just can't understand why she committed suicide."

Ye Qing looked troubled: "Ugh...you're quite ill."

"However... it might be because your personality is too cold. You should read more heartwarming and peaceful books to solve this kind of problem... Hey, could it be that you were reading campus romance novels before because of this?"

She remembered that when Ai Liang first moved in, she mentioned that she was reading youth campus novels.

"almost."

"These kinds of psychological problems can only be healed by time. What you need to do is live each day to the fullest and stop thinking about those unnecessary things all day long. Perhaps one day, you will find that your compassion has returned?"

As Ye Qing spoke, she nodded to herself to encourage herself and solidify her stance.

Ai Liang shared the same thoughts as her, but he was embroiled in a series of events as soon as he arrived in Qianhua City.

It's as if even the heavens are saying: Want a peaceful life? Dream on!
"Oh dear, I think you're too idle. If you're really bothered by this kind of thing, then take the initiative to experience life. Look at you now, you're like a boring old man, not at all like a teenager."

Ye Qing raised her hand and poked Ai Liang's expressionless face with her fingertip.

"If you want to be normal, then do what teenagers your age should do, like chasing girls, having a relationship or something... Hey! What's with that expression?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ai Liang put on an expression as if she had accidentally taken a laxative after being constipated for a week.

Ye Qing pouted, clearly displeased with Ai Liang's expression.

However, she quickly turned her anger into laughter: "Look, aren't you clearly expressing your dislike right now?"

Ai Liang remained silent for a while, then nodded thoughtfully.

Ye Qing stood up and stretched: "Some people want a peaceful life, but trouble always comes knocking; some people want to live in anonymity, but they will eventually be found; some people are almost thirty and want to find a boyfriend, but they keep encountering scumbags."

The world will not develop according to any one person's wishes.

We must understand that every day of our lives is a series of miracles, and no one knows how long these miracles will last.

Instead of thinking so much, why not live each day of the future as if it were your last?

If you don't want to become cold and heartless, then do the opposite of cold and heartless people; when others stand by and watch indifferently, lend a helping hand.

Instead of just sitting and daydreaming, get up and take action. Perhaps in the process of taking action, you'll find yourself slowly beginning to change.

Whether she was reading novels or taking action, Ye Qing was like a tapeworm in Ai Liang's stomach.

Every word and every suggestion he made coincided with Ai Liang's thoughts.

Ai Liang chuckled and said, "Maybe we get along very well."

His lips curled up slightly, and his eyes, which had been cold as before, became very gentle.

If Ai Liang were given a mirror at this moment, he would find that his current smile is exactly the same as his smile in his past life.

But that smile quickly vanished from Ai Liang's face, like a fleeting moment.

Because Ye Qing had her back to Ai Liang, she didn't see that fleeting smile.

She turned around and said jokingly, "Ah Liang, were you just confessing your feelings to me? I... do you only have disgust for me? Take that disgusted look off your face now!"

"It's getting late, we should go back and make dinner."

Ai Liang ignored Ye Qing and walked straight toward the residential building.

After talking for so long, he felt much better.

Only in front of Ye Qing, an old acquaintance whom he was forced to know inside and out, would Ai Liang occasionally reveal his true feelings.

Who would have thought that the stranger you confided in online a few years ago would become your classmate and neighbor?
Perhaps, as she said, every day of our lives is a series of miracles.

Unlike Ai Liang, whose mood had improved.

Ye Qing's mood was not so pleasant.

She followed behind Ai Liang, muttering to herself, "What a heartless guy. People were trying so hard to comfort you..."

It's not good to be constantly nagged.

Ai Liang turned around and replied expressionlessly, "Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing immediately beamed with joy: "You're welcome, we're like family..."

"Bring it here."

Ai Liang reached out her hand to Ye Qing: "You just want me to make chicken wings for you, don't you?"

How could you slander someone's innocence like that!

Ye Qing looked aggrieved, her bright, watery eyes blinking as she panted.

So the statement that women are born actresses is absolutely true.

Seeing her feign innocence, Ai Liang deliberately said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I have something to do tonight, so I'm planning to order takeout..."

Before she could finish speaking, a plastic bag was forcibly shoved into Ai Liang's hand.

"Honestly, always pointing out other people's thoughts, no girl will like you if you're so clueless..."

Ye Qing looked at Ai Liang's face and immediately changed the subject halfway through her sentence: "Even if I fall in love with you, it won't be long before I break up with you because I can't stand your terrible personality!"

She hugged the two rabbits with both arms and said, "I've been your confidante for so long, why don't you treat me to a nice meal?"

Ai Liang looked at Ye Qing with a hint of helplessness: "You've had this in mind ever since you approached me, haven't you? Even if I had no worries..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen! I want honey-glazed chicken wings! I'll share some with you, okay?"

Ye Qing, who calls herself a caring older sister, instantly transforms into the girl next door.

She used the special privilege of a pretty girl—acting cute and being a rascal.

Ye Qing ran to Ai Liang's side and frantically shook Ai Liang's arm.

The two put on this show on the main street, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

Ye Qing had figured out Ai Liang's way of thinking. If she acted coquettishly in public, Ai Liang would definitely agree to her request in order to get rid of trouble.

The premise is that the request is not too excessive.

Luckily, the two had known each other for a long time. If it were anyone else approaching her with such ulterior motives, Ai Liang would have already ignored them.

"Let go, I want a quarter of the chicken wing."

"no problem!"

Ye Qing readily let go of his hand, humming a little tune as she walked to the front of the residential building and swiped her card to open the security door.

While the two were waiting for the elevator, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around abruptly: "Wait a minute! Didn't you just promise to do it for me?!"

"I've changed my mind, is that not allowed?"

Ai Liang didn't look at her, but stepped into the elevator first and pressed the button for the third floor.

"Men are so fickle..."

Ye Qing followed closely behind and entered, standing next to Ai Liang while muttering something under her breath.

The third floor has arrived.

Ye Qing stepped out of the elevator first and headed towards her front door: "I'm going to take a shower first. Remember to call me when you're done."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Ai Liang looked at the chicken wing in her hand and sighed expressionlessly, "Women are such a hassle."

After grumbling, Ai Liang returned home to prepare the chicken wings.

Ye Qing really didn't realize that he had already agreed to make honey-glazed chicken wings.

No.

She actually knew it very well in her heart.

He only staged that scene because he was worried that Ai Liang would be dissatisfied.

Although they were familiar with each other, and Ai Liang had always considered her a close friend, the two had only recently recognized each other.

Ye Qing still hasn't figured out her place in Ai Liang's heart.

In her view, if you keep bothering the other person, no matter how good the relationship is, there will always be a day when you get angry.

Some things can't be fixed by just being cute or apologizing.

So when Ai Liang offered to help make honey-glazed chicken wings, she knew Ai Liang didn't like attracting attention, but she still put on a show.

The purpose was to make Ai Liang express his dissatisfaction and get him to ask for some of the chicken wings as payment for cooking.

It's always better to release small grievances in advance than to let them all pile up and explode at once.

Both romantic relationships and interpersonal relationships require nurturing.

You could call it high emotional intelligence, or you could call it deep cunning.

But Ye Qing is not Ai Liang. She has no past life. She has truly started from a single-digit age, with the values ​​of a child, and has struggled and made her way in society all by herself.

Moreover, Ai Liang's parents in his previous life died when he was a teenager, leaving behind some inheritance, while Ye Qing had nothing.

The hardships and bitterness involved cannot be summarized by simply saying, "I've encountered quite a few troubles over the years, which can barely be described as experiencing numerous tribulations."

To be honest, Ai Liang greatly admired Ye Qing. It was truly admirable that she could still be kind to others in such an environment.

I've been eating out for all my meals lately, and it wasn't until a couple of days ago that Ai Liang replaced all the old ingredients in the refrigerator with fresh vegetables.

"I haven't cooked in a long time, let's add two dishes tonight."

Ai Liang opened the refrigerator and muttered to herself.

Of course, you don't have to worry about leaving food if you can't finish it, because there's a big eater next door who can't get enough to eat.

Sorry, I was trying to speed up my typing, but I haven't even finished my basic tasks for today...

I'm so sorry ○|￣|_
I will make some changes later, so please wait and see.

Thank you XZ123 for being the leader (whispering under his breath).
