The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

"I can't bear to part with you?"

You Lian shook her head, finding the statement unfunny.

But Lu Yuan, this "ordinary man," clearly held a different opinion.

"Then why don't you kill me?"

Faced with this question, You Lian shook her head.

That's the only advantage of not being able to speak.

When you shake your head, most people won't ask what the meaning of your head shake is; they'll just try to guess what you're thinking.

However, from Lu Yuan's perspective, combining You Lian's habit of writing every sentence on a piece of cardboard with this head-shaking behavior means that this head-shaking has a completely different meaning.

"Does your shaking your head mean you're not in a hurry?"

"Of course there's no rush, I can get rid of you anytime."

"Look, they're starting to make things up following my train of thought."

Lu Yuan smiled.

This is clearly You Lian's little trick for lying. After all, making up lies is like writing a novel; there are times when you run out of ideas.

What do authors of low-brow novels most often do when they run out of ideas?

Copying book reviews.

Once you understand what the other person is thinking, you can follow that line of thought to create an even more compelling lie.

You Lian's behavior clearly indicates that she didn't know why she killed Lu Yuan either.

If you don't know, you have to lie, but you don't know how to lie.

So she chose to keep quiet and shake her head, waiting for Lu Yuan to make a guess, and then making up lies based on Lu Yuan's guess.

For Lu Yuan, the most crucial thing is that You Lian doesn't know why she doesn't kill him.

When people become ignorant, they give lies an opportunity to slip through their fingers, like those health articles on WeChat official accounts that are wildly forwarded in family group chats but have no scientific basis.

"You just can't bear to part with me, otherwise why did you bring me to the ginkgo tree just now?"

"Who brought you here?"

These words stunned You Lian. She had simply come to sit under the ginkgo tree for a while out of habit after finishing her consultation.

Because of Li Hu's incident, no one comes to the area under the ginkgo tree anymore.

So this was originally her own tranquil place.

"Weren't you implying that you wanted to chat with me for a while?"

Why should I talk to you?

You Lian was even more confused. What did she have to talk about with Lu Yuan?

Are you waiting for Lu Yuan to keep nagging her to "brush your teeth before bed"?

"If you don't want to talk to me, then how do you explain not killing me?"

"this..."

Ignorance is often used to describe a state, but it manifests as "the inability to truly understand the answers to certain questions."

Just like You Lian now, she simply can't find the answer to this question.

Yeah, why shouldn't I kill him?

If you can't figure it out, you have to keep thinking.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Lu Yuan wanted to laugh even more.

In fact, Lu Yuan didn't know why You Lian didn't kill him. Not only could he not give an answer, but no one else could either.

Because many things in this world simply have no answers.

The last time You Lian wanted to kill him, but she didn't this time. Perhaps it was because when Lu Yuan came to talk to her, she vaguely thought he was kind of handsome; perhaps it was because Lu Yuan's sunny voice was very pleasant; perhaps she felt that dental health was indeed very important; or perhaps she simply forgot about it after a nap...

Humans are complex beings, and "feelings" are something without answers.

Most things don't need answers at all. If you're not persistent, why are you pursuing the answer?

But amidst the constant buzzing of Lu Yuan, like flies invading a septic tank, You Lian began to cling to this answer.

She began to think.

But can this answer really be figured out? No, it can't be figured out.

If you can't figure it out but persist, then you're just waiting to be scammed.

Lu Yuan couldn't give an answer, but he could make one up.

The message should resonate with people.

First, you need to understand her inner emotions.

"I think you really can't bear to part with me, so don't rush to refute me." Lu Yuan stretched out his small hand and blurted out, "I know you respect everyone in front of others and interact with them politely and enthusiastically, but many patients and even Dr. Liu still stare at you with lewd eyes, which makes you very uncomfortable. So you still maintain your politeness and enthusiasm to take advantage of them because you want to make the people who hurt you apologize in the most extreme way."

"And then? What's it to you?"

"You hate them, but you have to maintain your persona through deception. It's exhausting to lie all the time. So only in front of me can you take off your disguise and tell the truth, because I've seen through your persona and lies."

Lu Yuan pointed to the ginkgo tree above his head.

He said, "People spend their whole lives searching for someone they can talk to properly. Although I exposed you, the problem is that it's precisely under this ginkgo tree, right in front of me, that you can be yourself."

Lu Yuan tilted his head as he spoke.

These were all made up by him, of course, but it required some skill.

By understanding You Lian's inner journey and daily behavior, we can bridge the gap in understanding and reduce the distance between us.

After all, the cost of explaining something to a mute person is much higher than that to an ordinary person.

As for the fact that one can only speak the truth in front of Lu Yuan, it is essentially a very true statement.

A mixture of speculation, lies, and the truth can create a thought-provoking statement.

The first principle of deception is not to make people believe, but to provoke thought.

Because people only believe what they themselves have figured out.

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, You Lian froze on the spot.

She instinctively rejected this statement she had never heard before.

But upon closer reflection, this seemed to perfectly explain why she didn't kill Lu Yuan.

He seems to be right.

People will speak after they have finished thinking and reached a conclusion; this is the key to determining whether the thinking process has ended.

At this point, you must not let her speak.

Because what is spoken becomes certain, but what a person says and what they think are not the same.

Especially with a liar like You Lian, she might subconsciously refute the claim that he is lying.

She originally wanted to say, "I don't believe in these things."

But she is mute; she has to write to speak.

The pre-writing motion is very long, at least longer than speaking.

This allowed Lu Yuan to continue making comments before she finished writing.

"Actually, I feel very sorry for you."

Lu Yuan immediately closed his eyes and began to frantically say, "For you, lying is ultimately a means of survival. No one can see the hardships behind your actions. In fact, even the most skilled liar will eventually be deceived by the same things."

"That is God."

"It could be God, Buddha, Lord, patriarch, etc. In short, being deceived by anything that is close to the concept of divinity is the ultimate fate of a liar."

"Just like those rich people who go to church to confess every week, because their intense guilt is intertwined with a lot of lies, it is difficult for them to tell the truth to anyone. The only path left is to confess to God, because expressing one's true self is an important psychological need for people."

At this point, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and rushed to You Lian's side.

Eyes facing each other.

He slowly began to speak: "This is why you can't bear to part with me, because in a way, you regard me as your god."
