Chapter 440: Righteousness and Conveying His Heart
What is Justice?
It seems that people have discussed this countless times.
In ethics, it usually refers to people doing what they should do according to certain moral standards, and also refers to a kind of moral evaluation, that is, fairness, and different people have different understandings of "justice".
The boy seven years ago, the self-proclaimed hero, usurped the throne of the gods, believing that justice is the value given to others, the value for one's own use.
The boy from two years ago, the boy who thinks he is the protagonist, crosses the basic rules of human relationships, and believes that justice is the subjective way to make everything go in interesting directions, for better or worse.
Now he has taken off all his masks and returned to him as an ordinary person, no longer calling himself a hero or a hero, he thinks that the so-called justice is that the body should obey the soul-
Live happily according to your mood.
Throwing away all the shackles of the name "once", he decided to choose freely, he was determined to follow his heart, and he decided to take a gamble.
Bet on the girl you saw for the first time, the girl you liked for the first time, and bet that she will have her own place in the future.
Why is snow white?
Because it forgot its own color?
No, because it was originally white.
And, white snow, beautiful, isn't it?
"Boom!"
“......”
The calm water suddenly exploded into a splash, and this time, it was lucky not to get wet under the snow.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that after so many years, my skills in water drifting are still so poor, okay, Yukino?"
Familiar sounds, healthy voices that make people feel uncomfortable, sounds that are too joyful to make people feel a little uncomfortable.
“...... Why are you here? ”
The tone under the snow was definitely not friendly, and he stared at the rippling river in front of him without even looking back, and he didn't know if there was a golden shadow reflected in the scenery.
"Of course I'm looking for you."
Luo Tianshu's words could not hear the general joy and anger, but there was a hint of banter.
"Little kid you? College students still play the boring game of running away from home. ”
"Bad noise, stalker?"
"Hey, I look like I'm about to cry, but I still have the strength to have a poisonous tongue."
Descending along the slope, Luo Tianshu had already walked behind the snow as he spoke, and the rising cicadas chirped to indicate the coming of summer, and the light through the gaps in the leaves flickered from time to time, and in an instant, the two small figures seemed to coincide in this picture again.
It's just that he has regained his old smile, a real smile.
"Why did you run out without a sound, they were all worried about you."
Slowing down his tone, Luo Tianshu's tone was surprisingly melancholy, and he frowned lightly when he heard it.
"It's nothing, it's just going for a walk."
"Leave the city for a walk?"
"Can't you go green?"
"Don't you think it's a little late?"
"Isn't it a little boring to always act by the rules?"
"Off course?"
"It's a maverick."
Without giving in to each other, the two seemed to have returned to the same department they used to be, stubbornly using their own "rightness" to constantly attack each other's "mistakes".
It's just that this kind of "game" that once made them happy now seems to be only in shape.
"Why do you know I'm here?"
Giving up the roundabout way of speaking, under the snow rarely chooses to speak bluntly and get to the point.
"Which do you want to hear, truth or falsehood?"
Luo Tianshu's joking rhetoric made Xue Xia slowly glance back at him, and then silently continued to turn his gaze back to the calm of the river.
Xue Xia didn't give an answer, but Luo Tianshu didn't care, and said it to himself.
"Falsehood, I guessed you were here early in the morning."
“......”
"Truth be told, they've searched all over Chiba and haven't found anyone, so I'm guessing you're probably not in the city."
Hearing this, he stood up silently under the snow and turned to face Luo Tianshu.
Lies must have a wonderful taste, because the truth is sometimes so unsatisfactory.
"I said, where do you look a little bit like a hero?"
"Isn't it like?"
Luo Tianshu smiled.
"Isn't it the hero who appears last?"
"Heroes don't say such things, they're hated, right?"
"Put on a mask and a cloak, anyone can be a hero, I didn't want to be a hero just to let others comment a few words, I was a hero because I wanted to be a hero."
"Heh......"
There is no change in the answer, but the true meaning has changed dramatically, because now he is no longer a hero.
"Is that all you have to say?"
"No, there is."
Luo Tianshu looked directly at the snow, and the rare determination in her eyes made her feel a little flustered inexplicably.
"Do you want to listen?"
"Do I have the right to refuse?"
"Nope."
"Sure enough."
Xue Xia smiled, but it was just some movements of facial muscles, and there was no smile on the corners of the curved mouth.
"Probably something I don't want to hear, right?"
"Perhaps."
Shrugging his shoulders, Luo Tianshu was noncommittal about the words under the snow, and the moment he caught a glimpse of sorrow between the other party's eyebrows, there was no joke in his eyes.
"Speaking of which, today, when I went to look for you at your house, I received a confession that was seven years late, and ahh
“...... Is it? ”
His shoulders trembled slightly, and he inadvertently covered his expression with bangs under the snow.
"What kind of person is it?"
"It's a very, special person."
Obviously, both of them knew who the person in the words was, but neither of them took the initiative to say it, breaking the tacit understanding of the silence.
"I've known her for a long time, and for so long, probably, her feelings for me haven't changed, and I ...... her"
"Is it the same?"
The voice was calm and terrifying, and there was no joy or sorrow under the snow, as if he was simply narrating something that had nothing to do with him.
"So, why are you talking to me about this?"
"Listen to me."
Interrupting the next words under the snow, Luo Tianshu continued:
"Although I was the one who received the confession, I did not accept it."
When the words fell, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became quiet and terrifying.
“...... So? ”
Although he tried his best to hide it, the voice under the snow still trembled, and the hands on his side tightly clenched the corners of his clothes, even if he was covered by bangs, Luo Tianshu could feel the sadness and indignation in those eyes.
"You don't want to say it's for me, do you?"
made a tone that seemed like he was going to laugh in the next second, and it was clear that his words were already full of crying.
The fragile side under the snow has been revealed, Luo Tianshu knows that if he nods his head at this moment, the other party will definitely never forgive himself, and if he shakes his head, the other party will definitely not agree with his own reasons.
In the final analysis, a head-on breakthrough or something is just something that an ideal hero can do.
For Luo Tianshu, who is now an "ordinary person", the only thing he can do, the only thing he can allow to be done, is only-
Give authenticity.
No longer clinging to the chains and boring rules of the past, and show your truest side.
"It's not."
