Chapter 292 Insights on Love
"Um……"

"Oh, are you awake? Eve..."

Eve slowly opened her eyes and saw her parents smiling gently at her.

Mom asked with concern if she was dreaming? Was it a good dream? Still hungry?

And he and his father looked at each other again, with helpless smiles on their faces.

This kind of life is so happy, just like it used to be...

……once?
Eve suddenly realized that everything in front of her was the past, the past that had dissipated.

So, I am indeed... dreaming.

...What should I do to make everything go back to that time?

With such emotions emerging in her heart, Eve's consciousness gradually awakened, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Immediately, Eve realized that she was not standing steadily on the ground, but was in the air, with her feet far away from the ground.

"Of course." The young man said: "A child's love for his parents is always the most sincere, pure, and sad. Because... in the world of children, there is always nothing except their parents. They have no other choice but to love their parents.

Although she had often heard people mention the word love in her past life, no one had ever said what it was, as if it existed as a matter of course as a separate existence.

Although parents always love their children, they are not the only ones who can love them. Therefore, this love is not reciprocal in the first place. "

"Um……"

"..." Eve still didn't understand the meaning of these words, she could only show a confused expression.

The breeze she had not felt for a long time caressed her face, which was very comfortable.

"It's just a path in the forest." The young man carrying Eve said, "It's somewhere away from there."

Because she was lying on his back, the broad back made her feel at ease, and then the warmth that was constantly being transmitted made her feel warm.

Understanding this, Eve felt extremely frightened and uneasy. She immediately pleaded to the young man with sobs:

"..." Eve looked at him and saw the profile of a young man who was slightly tilted towards her.

"Eh? Others...are also me? How is this possible?"

"Ahh..." She let out a small exclamation, even though it was a sparse and ordinary scenery, she was still moved by it.

However, she didn't panic, she felt very stable.

"Leave?" Eve gradually regained consciousness, and finally understood her current situation, "Did I...leave my house?"

"No..." Then, he responded to her, "Heaven is not so beautiful, here is reality everywhere."

"I..." Eve said to herself subconsciously: "Have you come to heaven?"

"...Eh?" The question was so sudden that Eve couldn't recover for a moment.

"Eve, do you...love your parents?"

"I...uh..." Eve was silent, unable to answer the question.

After reacting, Eve immediately replied:
"Yeah! I love them."

"Yes, it's a very selfish view." The young man smiled, "But others are also ourselves. Doesn't loving yourself mean loving others? It doesn't matter if you are a little selfish. That is the great love in the worldly sense... People always love others because they love themselves.”

"It's not that difficult to understand. Just think of it as if everyone is for oneself and I am for everyone. In short... love is a two-way existence of giving and receiving."

Eve remembered that he did say that...I will kidnap you. So, this time, I was really kidnapped and left from my parents...

There was no struggle or resistance, because Eve was afraid of hurting the young man carrying her. She just lay on his shoulder, sobbing and pleading.

Therefore, Eve couldn't think of it, so she couldn't answer this question.

"Yes!" Eve cried and said, "A child who doesn't even like his biological parents has no value in existence at all!"

"Sorry..." The young man smiled apologetically, and then said: "Our love for others is ultimately our love for "ourselves", because when we are with someone, we will feel happy, happy, and able to confirm ourselves. The existence is valued by others. Therefore, it is not so much that I like that person, but that I like to do things with that person.”

The young man sighed slightly, and then he suddenly asked:

"Love... will eventually return to itself, because all actions related to love are decided and implemented by oneself, right? Even the act of choosing to sacrifice oneself is caused by loving oneself. Because someone A being will give himself a greater love that is more important than his own life, so he will naturally be willing to sacrifice his life for it and devote all his love to it.”

Or is it that other people don’t actually understand what love is? Are you just using it as a tool?
The definition of love is definitely not as simple as being nice to someone.

"...What do you mean?" Eve tilted her head and asked.

"……Yeah?"

"Eve..." Suddenly, the young man asked: "Do you know what love is?"

"Please...please put me down and let me go back. Otherwise, my parents will never like me anymore...they will hate me..."

"I..." Eve asked slowly: "Where is this place?"

"Why do you want to go back?" The young man asked, "If you go back, your parents will kill you. If you die, will love, hate, etc. be of any value?"

"That's right." The young man nodded.

The young man smiled and said slowly:

Hearing this, Eve muttered dissatisfiedly: "This statement... is so selfish."

In front of her eyes was a dazzling but not dazzling light. The light shone on those green flowers and trees, making Eve, who was used to seeing darkness, feel deeply nostalgic.

The young man turned his head to look at Eve and asked softly:

"Eve, do you really like yourself? Do you really like yourself who is so anxious and uneasy when you are around your parents, always worried about what your parents think of you? Do you think that you are just for others? Is it love to give without caring about your own behavior?”

"I……"

Eve, who could have answered in the affirmative, hesitated now.

Because she always listens to her parents saying that parents always love their children unconditionally, and children must return to their parents and obey their parents in order to be happy, so she has always felt that she is happy. .

But...she is now confused.

After all... who is right?

"Can't you answer it?" The young man said, "That's natural, because you can't even understand it, and of course you can't answer it, let alone make a choice and decision."

"But, I..." However, Eve still said: "Even if I don't understand anything, I still want to go back to them. Otherwise, my parents will be very anxious and worried."

"Really?" Seeing that he couldn't be convinced, the young man sighed helplessly, and then said: "Okay, I can let you go back." "Really, really!?"

"But, not now."

However, the young man said:

"And, at least for a short period of time, I won't let you go back."

"Eh? But..."

"I'm here to kidnap you." The young man said, "You have no right to choose."

"..." Eve had no choice but to back down.

No matter whether the other party really has this plan or whether he is lying to himself, at least he knows that he still has hope of returning home.

The worries in Eve's heart were relieved, and she felt a little more at ease.

If you just leave home temporarily for a while, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
However, there was still one question that needed to be asked clearly, so Eve asked the young man again:
"Then...when can you let me go home?"

"Wait until you can make your own decisions and choices." The young man said: "There are only parents in your world, so you have no choice from the beginning, so at least... you have to wait until you find the one you love deeply. , I will let you decide whether to return to that home."

"When I can find the one I like?"

Eve still half understood the meaning of this sentence, but she felt that she could do it, so she nodded vigorously.

"I understand! Then, please keep your promise, uncle..."

"Well, of course I will keep my promise...Uncle?"

The young man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"I...do I look that old? This...isn't this right? I should not be affected by time reversal, but...ah, I just noticed that I have been busy during this time and forgot to shave. ”

Seeing the young man's somewhat flustered expression, Eve couldn't help but smile softly.

She did it on purpose, she just didn't want to be looked down upon by this young man of unknown origin, so she fought back.

"So..." Afraid that her snickering would be discovered, Eve immediately asked: "Where are we going next? Uncle..."

"..." The young man touched his chin and replied: "First, go eat some delicious food, and then find something you like to eat."

……

Then, the young man took Eve with him, walked a long way, and sat in the car for a long time, and finally stopped temporarily in a strange town.

Before he had rested for long, the young man took Eve's little hand and searched for so-called delicious food in the streets and alleys... This behavior may be called a walk.

Moreover, the young man also said that he had saved a lot of money for his current action, and he could eat whatever he wanted! Let Eve just take whatever she likes! There is no need to worry, lest others see it and think he has no money!

"..."

Eve, on the other hand, was just ashamed of the young man's unrestrained and loud speech, which attracted the attention of everyone around him, and quickly tugged on his clothes to tell him to calm down.

Then, the two of them walked there for a long time and ate a lot of things that Eve had never eaten before.

Sweet, soft, dense, soft, deep, aftertasteful, exciting...

Eve finally remembered that the taste can be so rich, and that eating just to not be hungry and to live is such a happy thing.

Then, just as the two returned to their accommodation satisfied and discussing where to go next, a message suddenly came from the radio that a girl named Eve had been kidnapped.

Someone claims to have seen a long-lost girl being carried away by a strange man.

Then, the parents of the missing girl, who were informed of this incident by many people, also said that they did not know why the kidnapper suddenly appeared here again, but they knew that their daughter was still alive, so they begged for the kindness of all walks of life. People can help them, so that their daughters can come back, so that all children in the world can return to their parents...

"Uncle...I'm sorry."

Eve naturally knew that the kidnapped girl mentioned there was herself, so she guiltily said to the young man:

"It's all my fault that you were treated as a kidnapper."

"It doesn't matter." The young man said, "I am, and...this is my problem. I didn't expect that someone would see it..."

"...Right!" Eve suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "If other people, or parents find us, I will explain to them that you are not a bad person, you did not hurt me, you took me away just because of……"

"Do you want to tell me what your parents did to you?" the young man asked.

"..." Eve was silent, and she finally realized the problem.

"..." The young man said: "I have already said that since I decided to kidnap you, then this matter has nothing to do with you. You are just a victim and do not need to bear any responsibility, so don't think about these things. , go to bed quickly."

"……I know."

Eve reluctantly agreed and was about to go to bed, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"...Huh?" Eve looked at the door, "Who is it?"

"Shh..." Xiao Yi made a silencing gesture to her.

At this time, there was also a sound outside the door.

"Hello, sir, do you need hot water?"

"..."

However, there was no sound from inside the door.

"...Something's wrong." The man standing at the door suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly ordered: "Break open the door!"

Immediately afterwards, the door was knocked open and several people armed with sticks broke in.

However, the room was empty.

"That damn kidnapper is so alert!"

……

On the other side, the young man carrying Eve on his back and running in the alley at night thought helplessly in his heart:
No matter what era, there are many idle people who are full of justice. No, in the era when the Internet is not yet developed, people are more inclined to use actions to show justice.

If you look at it this way, the Internet, which is also about expressing justice but only causing mental harm, is already a great progress for civilization.

In short, the leisurely travel is over, and now it’s time to escape.
