"School is a great place, ah—I envy you for such a great youth."

This is my heartfelt sigh, the school is so good that it makes me want to cry.

If there was such a time in my life, I would not be so sad now.

"Yang... Uncle, be quiet, I don't know how many police officers there are, it's exposed, it's very troublesome."

Compared with my emotion, Shen Yun's pace of progress was obviously a little trembling.

His way of walking, that is, he is not too old to say that he is seventy or eighty years old.

"Young man, if you are so timid and afraid, if you are like you, the future of this country is not easy to say."

"Uncle Yang, you came here suddenly, I'm the only one, I'm afraid something will happen to you."

"It's all said, don't worry, you see we have passed so many security checks, there are no problems at all, isn't this already confirming my guess? Now that it's all been proven, what are you afraid of?"

"This—how do you let go of your heart?"

"What's so unreassuring about this, there's something nice over there, it looks like a crepe? Walk! Let's go buy some."

"Buy? Crepes - Uncle Yang, you know this thing too?"

"What's the matter, uncle can't like sweets? I am also a person who has lived in the city for more than ten years, don't think of me as a wild man in the deep mountains and old forests."

"Haven't been to school in over a decade? Uncle Yang, although you are old, you can also go."

Yes, but at the time, I didn't have that kind of thought.

Speaking of which, the changes in me are really big.

Why, is this happening? What is the reason?

——

Was it because I met the kid?

——

Another stupid idea, this is really a stupid idea.

I'm not for anyone, I'm for myself.

"I also thought about it, but at that time, like you, I couldn't walk steadily, and I still went to school."

"And this kind of thing? In this world, Uncle Yang, are you afraid of things?"

"Why not, I am also a human being, and I am still in a city controlled by the peace system, at that time, I was afraid every day, afraid that I would be captured or killed by the peace system in my sleep, you know, death is not terrible, but the process of waiting for death is very terrible."

"It's like telling terrorists that if you kill someone, you can go to heaven, and if they kill them, and then in the run, they will find that they are not going to heaven at all, but to hell, and what awaits them is that there will never be any hope of liberation, and that there is no other feeling than suffering, and that there is no interruption in suffering, no interruption in the body, no interruption in time, and no interruption in action."

"Infernal Hell? At that time, I was afraid every day, I could only curl up in the corner, and I thought about suicide more than once, but I didn't have that courage, my biggest advantage as a person is that I especially cherish my life, in any case, I put my own survival first, even people like me, want to commit suicide, you should understand the situation I was facing at that time, right?"

This is no joke, and it was in my own situation.

It was a life of letting despair creep in.

A world where there is nothing but darkness.

"Uncle, why did you survive? In this case, I can't think of anything that can save you."

"Save me? You know what, you can never save someone?"

"Can a man never save someone?"

"It is impossible for people to save people, but hope can be transmitted."

"Hope? Uncle, didn't you say that you were given hope?"

"I'm going to say yes."

"It's really unbelievable that anyone can convey hope?"

"Uh-huh, passed it on, and then BOOM's exploded, and then there was me now."

Speaking skills, the crepe is also ready.

Shen Yunke and I were talking and ordered two crepes at the same time.

——

"Two young ladies, the crepes are ready."

——

"Miss? Forget it, whatever you want."

I can only reluctantly accept the title of waiter.

Shen Yun on the other side heard my words and cast a strange look.

"Miss? Uncle, did you think something strange just now?"

"Where, didn't you hear? The waiter just called us two young ladies."

"Yay? Have it? What I just heard is that Mr. is coming, uncle, aren't you too old to hear it?"

"Well—forget it, let's continue to follow the signs of the peace system, anyway, I'm going to swim a whole lap so it's worth it."

"Follow the peace system? Uncle, you're talking nonsense again."

"Don't worry, just keep leading the way."

Shen Yun and this matter—no, I just don't want him to be involved.

There's no need to involve so many people, that's not what I'm for.

Shaking his head, he dispelled the idea of boredom.

It was also at this time that I saw the crowd gathered in front of me.

"There are a lot of people around over there, Shen Yun, what is that?"

"Hmm-hot spring society? There are women all around, what does it look like that catches their attention?"

"Let's go and see, maybe something good."

"But the route isn't going this way."

"It's okay, this school has all roads leading to Rome, and it's the same all over there."

"Uncle, we won't be spared for long anyway, and we may not be able to walk in it."

"You say that the hot spring society will not be a beautiful woman bathing?"

「...」

said something casually, but was looked at by Shen Yun with strange eyes.

In these years, to put it mildly, how can it be regarded as a pervert.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, Hot Spring Society, if you don't soak in hot springs, then what kind of hot spring club is it, and hot springs don't have to be naked, you can soak in hot springs in swimsuits."

"There's some truth to what you're saying, do you think I'm going to say that? It's a hot spring club, not a club that exists to soak in hot springs, and it's all about the area around hot springs."

"Yay! As long as you are a normal person, you will not think like this, Shen Yun, are you the type who likes men?"

"No! Why do my normal thoughts become crooked thoughts when they come to you?"

"Look at the men around you, aren't they all expecting the same thing as me? You're the only man here, and you don't expect it, you say you're normal?"

"Not everyone is going to conform to the herd, at least I'm able to stick to my ideas."

"Sometimes it's useful to listen to ordinary people, and that's my life experience."
