Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 945 Life (Two in one, please subscribe!!!)

It's like walking into a carnival, where everyone has a mask on their face, with smiling and flattering faces on the masks. However, this hypocritical mask is only worn when facing people of the same status or higher class than them. Otherwise, all you can see are real and extremely sarcastic faces, and they may not even be taken seriously by others.

“Actually, sometimes I really hated this world.” Lu Mingfei, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

There was no response and Lu Mingfei even thought that Eiry had not caught up with him. He turned around and found that Eiry had been standing behind him, looking at him quietly.

Lu Mingfei winked at Eri.

Eiry also winked at Lu Mingfei.

"Is Eri waiting for me to continue?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Yeah." Eri nodded slightly.

"Don't you find it weird, Eri?" Lu Mingfei asked. "I hate this kind of talk in this world. It's like a child who hasn't grown up yet."

To be precise, it is more like the words that a middle school boy like Noda Shou who used to hang out on the streets would say. Coming from Lu Mingfei's mouth now... it is actually quite childish.

"It's not strange." Eri shook her head, "Sakur hates this world, it's this world that's strange.

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He completely understood what Eri meant. He also didn't expect Eri to say such a thing, so he was so surprised.

If you hate something, it’s definitely not your problem, but something wrong with the thing… even if it’s as big as the world.

You hate this world, not because you are weird, but because this world is weird, so you hate it.

Lu Mingfei looked at Eri's serious expression, and suddenly he felt an unprecedented feeling, this feeling might be called... a sense of identity.

It is an unconditional sense of recognition. Even if you are naive, even if you are a middle school student, even if what you say sounds unreasonable, the other party will recognize you no matter what.

If you are on the rooftop and yell in a childish and crazy way, "Exile, destroy this world", the other person will shout with you, "Yeah, die, this terrible world"; if you kick over a nest of ants on the road for no reason, and say something clumsy like "God is in a bad mood today, so he sent down divine punishment", the other person will pour a pot of boiling water into the ant nest, and laugh with you, saying "The flood is coming to destroy the world"... If you are stupid, she will be stupid with you, and if you are stupid to the extreme, she will be stupid with you to the extreme. There actually are such people in this world.

Actually, Chu Zihang was also such a person, but his way of being stupid was different, because Chu Zihang himself was actually quite stupid. Lu Mingfei had his own way of being stupid, and Chu Zihang had his own way of being stupid. He might not agree with you, but would just support you silently... So if you look for Chu Zihang, you can often only get recognition in terms of behavior, not in terms of thoughts or even soul.

Can be painted pear clothing will.

This sense of identification is like... one day you go crazy and suddenly say you want to destroy the world, and she will find two sets of combat uniforms and two guns and ask you, is it enough to take these to the Pentagon to steal the nuclear bomb launch button?
Some things and some words are stupid to do or say alone, but if there is someone with you, you will be very happy to be stupid.

“Yeah, this world is really weird sometimes.” Lu Mingfei nodded. “I didn’t like this world before because I felt that there were too few people like Eri and Senior Brother in this world.”

This time, Eri had a confused expression on her face; she didn't understand Lu Mingfei's last sentence.

"Have you ever heard of the 'Spring Outing Theory'?" Lu Mingfei asked softly.

"'Spring outing theory'?" Eri tilted her head. She had never even had the experience of a "spring outing".

"Spring outing means not having to go to class, and a group of people go to different places to play together. For some people, spring outing will be a colorful day, and most people are happy and look forward to it. But for some people, spring outing is just not having to go to class and going to different places." Lu Mingfei said softly, "Some people say that whether the spring outing is fun or not does not depend on where you go or whether you have enough pocket money. Whether the spring outing is fun or not depends on who goes with you."

"The people we're with..." Eri said, vaguely understanding.

"Yes, so I think whether a person likes this world or hates this world depends entirely on whether there are people he likes in this world." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "If in his eyes, the world is full of sarcastic people and ugly faces, then this world is of course disgusting. But if everyone a person meets is full of kindness towards him, and he has people he truly likes and loves, then this world is beautiful."

"I think this world is great." Eri took a step forward and looked at Lu Mingfei, "Because Sakura is here."

"Like Eri, I now feel the same way. This world is pretty good." Lu Mingfei nodded, looked into Eri's eyes and said, "In fact, over the years, I have figured out one thing. Whether a person feels that the world is good or bad is not entirely the problem of the world, but that they cannot reach a reconciliation with each other."

"The loser doesn't like this world, and the world won't favor a loser." Lu Mingfei suddenly said this.

It sounded like the tone of a little devil, but the content was Lu Mingfei's version. For some reason, Lu Mingfei felt that after the events in Japan were over, he and Lu Mingze became more and more alike in some ways... This change was not subtle, but it was as if someone had suddenly put that little devil's worldview and outlook on life into Lu Mingfei's brain. After "something for nothing" merged with Lu Mingze, Lu Mingfei always felt that Lu Mingze had left something in his body and forgot to take it away.

"Sakura..." Eri wanted to say something, but Lu Mingfei shook his head, signaling her not to say anything. "I'm not sad or anything, so Eri doesn't need to comfort me." Lu Mingfei said to Eri, "It's just that I suddenly came back here and met a lot of people I haven't seen before. I feel a little emotional. I originally thought that I had said goodbye to the past, but now I realize that it is actually a part of my life. I can't get rid of it and I don't need to deliberately avoid it. The process of growing up is really long and difficult, but fortunately I have reached the shore."

"I'm very happy to meet Eri, and I'm also very happy to see my former classmates doing well... This world is really good, there are so many things to be happy about." Lu Mingfei walked in front of Eri, lowered his head, and said softly, "Eri, close your eyes."

Without asking why, Eri did as she was told. She slowly closed her eyes and trusted everything Lu Mingfei said unconditionally.

"You can't open your eyes secretly before I say you should open them." Lu Mingfei held Eiry's hand and walked for a distance on the rooftop, as if they were bypassing something. After a few dozen seconds, Eiry felt a gust of wind.

This was probably the edge of the rooftop. Eri could hear the car horns and the voices of passers-by below her feet. These sounds seemed to be right next to her ears. Eri still had her eyes closed. This should have been a very insecure behavior. A normal person would not be able to help but open their eyes to confirm their safety, but Eri's eyes were closed the whole time. Lu Mingfei's hands were on her waist, and she felt a full sense of security. This sense of security came from love and trust. This girl never considered whether Lu Mingfei would suddenly push her off the roof.

"Let me see... Well, it's almost there... Well, this angle should be about right..." Lu Mingfei kept mumbling something, guiding Eri to move left and right on the edge of the rooftop.

"Open your eyes, Eri." Lu Mingfei's words came to my ears.

Feeling a pair of hands gently resting on her shoulders, Eri slowly opened her eyes.

Light, Eri saw the light.

The swaying light, the magnificent light, the whole city is lit up at night. On the road, the lights of cars and street lamps extend into straight, glowing rivers, extending to far, far away, where there is a sea of ​​light. The bustling lights of skyscrapers and commercial districts illuminate the sky and the entire city. The large advertising screens reflect colorful colors. The rain at night is not as strange as that in the daytime. Fine raindrops fall from the sky and neon lights dance in the rain.

There is a wide lake in the distance. The reflection of the city is reflected in the water. The rain falls on it, splashing ripples and circles of light. The whole city is clearly divided by the lake.

On the right are brightly lit high-rise buildings with huge glass curtain walls. On the rooftops hundreds of meters high stand solid and straight antennas. Cars are running on the wide road. That should be the most prosperous CBD area of ​​the city mentioned by Lu Mingfei.

On the left are lower houses, with not so colorful and transparent light. Occasionally, dots of light shine through the square-like windows. Busy figures can be seen in every lighted window. Although they are not too far away, they are like two worlds separated by the pigeon-cage-like houses. The outside world is huge and cold, while the inside world is small but warm. That is the destination, the place called "home". It is where the people living in this city have taken root in this land.

Further away are the city's elevated roads and ring roads. You can see clusters of lights moving on the circular roads. Cars are like a group of running fireflies, heading nowhere. Further away is the vast darkness. A few scattered dim lights are hidden in the mountains and forests, as if it is the end of the world.

It turns out that this is the city where Sakura lived. This was once his entire world... The light of the entire city was reflected in Eri's eyes.

"It's nothing like the prosperity of Tokyo." Lu Mingfei leaned his head against Eri.

"But it's so beautiful... so beautiful." Eri murmured. She didn't repeat it on purpose, but she couldn't help it.

"Yes, it's really beautiful. I felt so when I was a child, even though it was far from being as prosperous as it is now." Lu Mingfei said softly, "But in my opinion, such a beautiful scenery is actually a symbol of loneliness. I couldn't find anyone to share it with, so I could only come here by myself. As I looked at it, I felt as if these tall buildings, mountains and lakes all belonged to me. It was also quite cold to sit on the rooftop for a long time. Sometimes I would look at it for hours and even catch a cold because of this."

Huili subconsciously held Lu Mingfei's hand and covered his hands in her own palms.

But today Lu Mingfei's hands were very hot.

"I don't know how to describe it. This city is like a maze or a cage to me. If I hadn't gone to Kassel College and met Eri, I would probably stay here all my life. I would go to school and graduate here, then work here, start a family here, save money to buy a house here, live here, grow old and die here." Lu Mingfei said calmly, "Sometimes I feel that being ordinary is like a disease that traps people in one place. Sometimes I feel that being ordinary is pretty good. I don't have to worry about too many things. It's none of my business what the world becomes."

"Sakura will think a lot." Eri said.

Lu Mingfei smiled. Eiry’s compliment finally stopped being “so awesome”.

"I saw a passage online, saying that this world has many sides, and there are so many prosperous cities." Lu Mingfei, "It said that when you are at the bottom, it is a cage that traps you, a life of going to work from 6 am to 9 pm, takeout and rice with toppings that are not very delicious and can only barely fill your stomach, and an unattainable dream; when you become an elite, this city is full of lights and wine, luxury goods and luxury cars, endless bars and girls, and only then can you experience what life is, not just living; when you reach the top of society, this city is your utopia, you can do almost anything you want here, even if it is on the edge of the law, you are the best of the best, living in a brightly lit bonded area, you don't need to worry about food, clothing, and shelter, cars, houses, beautiful women, these things in life are at your fingertips."

Eri looked at the prosperous CBD area and the dark old town. When she saw the city, she seemed to understand what Lu Mingfei said... There are many people in this world, and their life trajectories are different, just like a car will be diverted at every intersection. Some people are living, and some people are just surviving.

"Sakura, what kind of life do you think is better?" Eri suddenly asked softly.

Asking such questions proves that this girl is no longer a blank slate...Eri is also using what she sees, hears, and feels to paint new colors on her outlook on life and the world.

"Eri, this question is a bit difficult. I have been thinking about it for so many years, but I still haven't come up with a satisfactory answer." Lu Mingfei shook his head, then nodded and said, "But I can at least answer part of it. I think it would be great if people don't live in a dream in their lives."

"Living in a dream?" Eri asked. She didn't understand the word.
