Chapter Seventy-One: Weariness
I really want to live this life plainly.
Zheng Jiayi looked at the busy figure in front of her, and suddenly became a little tired of this life. Every day I am tired of running, and I finally have a place to stay in peace for a long time, and I have to go out again and again like a knight who saves the world. One moment for this, one moment for that. One moment for him, another for her. She really felt that enough was enough, and she suddenly didn't want to live like this anymore. She even felt that she would simply stay here for the rest of her life, guarding the old and young here.
This time, Zheng Jiayi did not take the initiative to ask for help. Everyone thought it was strange, and she herself thought it strange. In the past, she was not a hero, let alone any responsibility and morality, but simply didn't want to watch her friends go on adventures alone. However, when she realized that the adventures of her companions would never end, her heart cried out unilaterally - stop!
At night, Zheng Jiayi was woken up by a knock on the door. But it wasn't her door that was knocking.
"Who the hell is this?" Zheng Jiayi was a little upset, after all, she had to run to the first floor to open the door.
Because I didn't know whether it was a man or a woman who knocked on the door, I had to add an extra piece of clothing. Open the door, and it's quiet outside. It's as if everyone agrees that the knocker downstairs is definitely not looking for themselves.
As soon as Zheng Jiayi went down to the first floor in the dark, she shouted through the door: "Who?" ”
"It's me!"
Xu Yiyi? Zheng Jiayi wondered, and then quickly opened the door for her.
"How are you? Is there anything wrong with this late hour? Zheng Jiayi opened the door and didn't mean to let Xu Yiyi in. After all, the weather is still cool outside, and you can borrow light from the moon.
"Jiayi, are you really not going with us?" Xu Yiyi got straight to the point.
"Why do I have to go with you?" Zheng Jiayi didn't really want to do Tai Chi, she just felt that Xu Yiyi's words were strange.
Xu Yiyi was choked by Zheng Jiayi.
"Look, Zhou Jian, they're here for a while. You and Xiao Xiao are in the same group. Old man, old lady, they are in a group. Naturally, the people in our building are in the same group. Zheng Jiayi briefly divided the factions in the courtyard, and then continued: "It's time for me to recognize my location. ”
Xu Yiyi didn't understand why Zheng Jiayi suddenly changed so much, she couldn't digest it for a while, and she couldn't refute or agree with it.
"Are you alright?" Zheng Jiayi looked at Xu Yiyi, who was speechless, and was about to close the door to see off the guests.
"Wait a minute" Although Xu Yiyi was blindsided by Zheng Jiayi's words, as soon as she heard her say that she was going to close the door, she hurriedly stopped her first.
"Huh? You said! Zheng Jiayi is actually not in a hurry to close the door, but if there is nothing to say, it is not interesting to consume it.
"Oh my God. You seem to have changed so suddenly, I don't even know what to say-" Xu Yiyi simply sat on the threshold with her back to Zheng Jiayi, and then said to herself: "I have to think about it, think about what to say."
"Actually, you don't have much to say. Don't push yourself. I'm hard to be convinced. Zheng Jiayi knew that Xu Yiyi was trying to persuade her, but she couldn't find a point to cut in for a while. She leaned against the wall, her eyes staring straight ahead, as if she was saying to herself, "I've had enough of these days." However, I can feel that you are enjoying it. I don't enjoy it at all. I just didn't think I could just let someone else take the risk, especially since these individuals were my friends. However, over time, I realized that these individuals not only had to take risks, but also loved them. I can't be as infinitely cooperative as a silly fork every time. I also have my own life, my own plans, and my own ideas. I don't want to think about other people anymore. ”
"However, people can't be so selfish" Xu Yiyi still wanted to refute, but suddenly stood up from the ground, and then faced Zheng Jiayi, she felt that she had finally found a place to refute.
"Then who do you think is selfish?" Zheng Jiayi looked at Xu Yiyi by the moonlight.
Xu Yiyi was speechless again. In fact, she also knew in her heart that what Zheng Jiayi said was right. She really fell in love with this kind of life, and she couldn't help herself.
"This is the life you've always longed for, right? Congratulations. However, this is not the life that we ordinary people aspire to. Zheng Jiayi's eyes seemed to be about to perceive.
Xu Yiyi was still speechless. She knew in her heart that every time she went out on a mission, she was very excited, but now just thinking about it, she felt her palms sweating excitedly.
"You've always longed for this kind of life, and you've got it, and you've longed to live like this all the time. Aren't you selfish? Xiao Xiao thought she was omnipotent and led her partners on a rampage, but did Wu Shuai deserve to be unlucky? Who is selfish? Zheng Jiayi's voice unconsciously became higher. The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and the more angry she became: "We are selfish if we refuse to save your friends." In order to save your friends, you use moral kidnapping to force others to fight desperately or give their lives, is it noble? What is this standard of conduct? ”
In this silent night, Zheng Jiayi's voice is so loud, I'm afraid that there are not a few people who hear it. She didn't want others to hear her, but she wasn't afraid of being heard.
"I used to be afraid that you would never come back, so I followed it every time. But I'm not afraid now. Zheng Jiayi's tone became more and more resolute. In the end, it was even a little hurtful: "Those who are bent on looking for death will not be able to come back one day." And I'm not going to be buried with me! ”
Zheng Jiayi quickly took a step back, leaving a distance where the door could be closed, she seemed to be resolute, but in fact, she needed to hide quickly to hide her true feelings.
"None of us are saviors, none of us." Zheng Jiayi said as she slowly closed the door. Her cheeks felt sour, and her eyes were astringent. It was a terrible feeling.
Closing the door, Zheng Jiayi took a deep breath several times before forcing back the unassailable tears that almost flowed down. is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, which is the truest portrayal of Zheng Jiayi.
Even after waiting behind the door for a long time, my eyes were still adjusting to the darkness. I remember that in the past, it would have been impossible for her to walk alone in the dark. Not to mention in such an old house in the countryside. But now, she can walk alone in the dark. So, there's nothing one can't do. There's nothing one person can't do.
In the short time when she went upstairs in the dark, Zheng Jiayi secretly made a decision. If she had to be displaced, she would rather be displaced for herself, not for others.
