When listening to Su Pei talk about Han Le's depression, Qiao Yiyu didn't feel strange, in her time, depression is a mental illness like a cold in this era, which will be experienced in everyone's life, and many will even be left behind, of course, people in Qiao Yiyu's era do not think that this is a disease, the definition of the so-called disease should be that the original normal function becomes missing or abnormal, and it is harmful to the human body, but depression as an emotional state does not matter whether it is good or bad, It's just that the ancients didn't like this emotion, so they treated it as a disease.

But not treating depression as a disease does not mean that Qiao Yiyu does not pay attention to this information, in fact, when Han Le just woke up, Qiao Yiyu has already begun to worry about this problem, which is why she wants to wake up Su Pei, but Su Pei's role is also limited, just now I heard Su Pei talk about the doctor's judgment, Qiao Yiyu realized that Han Le's situation was much more serious than he thought.

As soon as the car arrived at the door of the Internet café that Han Le said, Qiao Yiyu saw him, wearing a very ordinary T-shirt, holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand, and his eyes were floating aimlessly in the air. At this moment, Qiao Yiyu was slightly distracted, the image of Han Le in front of her was unfamiliar to her, because they hadn't seen each other for 35 years, but they had just resumed contact this month, but when they saw him, Qiao Yiyu felt that the past 35 years were a bit illusory, as if she and Han Le had hibernated together.

waited until she got out of the car and walked in front of him before Han Le noticed her and gave her a smile in a bit of panic: "What's the matter?" ”

Qiao Yiyu shook her head gently: "It's okay, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, are you okay?" ”

"Very good, I was watching a movie here just now...... What are you looking for me? ”

Qiao Yiyu didn't answer, but just said to him: "What movie?" ”

Han Le talked about the movies he just watched, Qiao Yiyu listened carefully, and occasionally discussed a few words, and then said to him: "If you want to watch a movie, I'll take you to the cinema." ”

"Does anyone still go to the cinema to watch a movie?" Han Le has discovered a point on the computer just now, the computer screen in this era can completely reproduce the three-dimensional effect of the movie, except for the wide screen of the movie theater, the other effects are not bad at all.

Sitting in the car, Qiao Yiyu played the steering wheel and spoke: "Han Le, are you unhappy during this time?" ”

Han Le was a little unprepared for this question, and subconsciously said, "I think it's okay......"

Qiao Yiyu didn't ask, but said again: "Do you think that after 35 years, we are similar to strangers?" ”

Before this, Han Le always avoided mentioning this topic in front of Qiao Yiyu, but since Qiao Yiyu said it, he honestly admitted: "To be honest, before hibernation, I never thought that I would be able to wake up one day...... Not to mention waking up and seeing you, I thought I would see an old lady at most...... So you told me at the time that 35 years had passed, and I didn't believe it at all. ”

"And now? Still don't think any of this is true? Qiao Yiyu pointed to pedestrians and buildings outside the car window by the way.

Han Le lowered his head: "It's easy for people to accept that it's a facompli...... I used to be in college...... Never mind. ”

"You're trying to say your parents were in a car accident?"

Han Le didn't ask Qiao Yiyu how he knew, and nodded: "Whether it's sad or happy, it's temporary." ”

"It's here," Qiao Yiyu stopped the car, and after Han Le came out, he handed him his credit card and said to him, "You go buy tickets, I'll buy snacks." ”

Han Le nodded and agreed. It was the second half of the night, and there were not many people at the ticket office, so Han Le walked over, swiped his credit card, and then stood at the entrance and waited.

The cinema is located on the ground floor of a large square, look up, this square is also divided into multiple floors, each floor is separated by glass, now his position seems to be outside, in fact, it is no different from indoors, now the temperature outside is close to 30 degrees, and he still feels cool and pleasant. Qiao Yiyu was queuing up in the store next door, there were a lot of people eating, it seemed that it would not be her turn for a while, when Han Le looked at Qiao Yiyu's direction, suddenly Qiao Yiyu also turned to look at him, eye contact, but Han Le didn't feel anything, just nodded.

Five or six minutes later, Qiao Yiyu came back, and Han Le looked at the longer line than just now and said in surprise: "There are so many people eating at night, so it must be crowded during the day?" ”

"That is, there are people at night, but there is less business during the day, and now many people don't go out much during the day, so they will go out for a walk in the second half of the night."

Han Le smiled bitterly: "Why does it sound similar to when I was in college?" ”

"Don't you have classes at university?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't get on it...... Anyway, did you give the final exam? ”

"Then what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

"I want to sleep at the Internet café and go out for a supper......"

Qiao Yiyu pointed to the people in line and said, "I think they are quite similar." ”

After chatting and chatting, I went into the cinema, which is different from the screen with a big white cloth in my imagination, the screen here looks like a huge display screen, in terms of viewing effect, it is much stronger than the movie in Han Le's impression, and now it looks like an ancient war movie, and on the way to find a seat, Han Le can hear the sound of swords and slashing as if it is next to his ears.

After sitting down and reading a few lines carefully, Han Le understood the content of the movie - it was a bit incredible, it turned out to be a military movie with an overhead theme, if this kind of theme had been changed 35 years ago, it would definitely not have passed the approval......

The movie was not very exciting, in Han Le's opinion, it was an empty gimmick, so after a while, Han Le lost interest, lowered his head and began to eat intently, KFC's fries and chicken rice flowers, even after 35 years, they still taste like this, oh, and Coke, some things will change over time, and some will always be there.

Qiao Yiyu noticed Han Le's absent-mindedness and asked him in a low voice, "What, it's not good-looking?" ”

"It's not pretty...... The main thing is not interested. "The movie was so fake that tens of thousands of war commanders rushed up together with a shout...... Watching a movie is like that, once you realize that one of the details is fake, that this scenario is impossible to happen, it is like when you learn that the face and body of a beautiful woman are all made up, all the beauty associated with it is gone, leaving only the deep doubt and disdain in your heart - this is the opposite of reality, no matter how unreasonable it is, but once it happens, it is an irrefutable fact, a fact that can only be accepted.

"If you don't want to see it, then let's go out."

"Don't you watch?"

Qiao Yiyu shook his head.

So these two movie tickets were wasted, and the two people came out with a bag of food, and they wanted to go into the KFC next door to sit, but when they saw the overcrowded scene inside, they still found a chair on the side of the road. After sitting down, Han Le said with some uneasiness: "Why did you think of coming up to watch a movie with me?" ”

"Actually, I just wanted to talk to you."

Han Le glanced at her: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

At this time, more than a dozen young people dressed exactly the same appeared in the square, some men and some women, and then suddenly there was music and remembered, they began to dance in the middle of the square, Han Le's attention was slightly involved, and at this time Qiao Yiyu also spoke: "Han Le, have you noticed that your current psychological condition is a little abnormal?" ”

If anyone other than Qiao Yiyu asked this question, even his dead parents, Han Le would answer without hesitation: "You are psychologically abnormal......

But in the face of Qiao Yiyu, Han Le just lowered his head, and said after a long time: "I've been a little unhappy lately, and I don't know why, maybe it's because my personality is like this." ”

"It's not your fault...... It's that you've suddenly experienced so much that you can't get used to it. ”

"It'll naturally be fine after a while," Han Le didn't think it was a big problem, "In fact, it's just idle, and I think too much." ”

"It's not like what you said," Qiao Yiyu smiled, "Didn't you say that the most important thing in life is to be cranky?" ”

"Did I say that?" Han Le was surprised, "When?" ”

"You told Xie Yongqing," Qiao Yiyu said, "I've seen your chat history." ”

Han Le didn't feel angry that his privacy was violated, but asked with some curiosity: "You don't think what I said makes sense, do you?" ”

"Are you so unconfident?"

Han Le became a little shy: "In front of you...... It's hard. ”

"Oh, why?" Qiao Yiyu asked, "Just because I'm from the future?" ”

"Isn't that enough? The ideas and technologies that emerge in our society may have been commonplace in your time...... At least when I read history books, I think the ancients were ignorant and pitiful. ”

"But if we were to be moved to that environment, we might not be able to do better."

"That's what I said, but we're not," the dance in the square attracted a lot of audiences, and many people joined in, Han Le said with emotion while watching, "We just open a book, and the knowledge in it will never be touched by the ancients in a lifetime...... I can only blame them for their bad lives. ”

"That's how you imagine the future? For example, do you think that when I was a child, I opened a random book and had more knowledge in it than all you have access to now? ”

"Maybe you don't need to read a book, just put a chip in your brain when you are born, and you will understand everything."

"So I'm a jack of all trades in your eyes? Engineers, scientists...... Do I know all of them? ”

Han Le turned his head and looked at Qiao Yiyu with a chuckle on his face: "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not," Qiao Yiyu shook her head helplessly, "I can tell you now, in fact, when I first came to Earth, I didn't necessarily know as much as you, and I had just come out of school a few years ago." ”

"You still have a school?" Han Le deliberately showed some disappointment on his face to hide his surprise, "I thought that learning only needed chip input......

"I do have a chip in my brain, you guessed it, but it's only a store."

Han Le wanted to tease, "Then its quality is good enough", but after thinking about it, he still kept his mouth shut, and just listened to Qiao Yiyu.

"Before I came here, I was a student, and even now, after 35 years of living here, I have only learned a limited number of skills...... I wanted to learn to do business, but every time I lost money, I tried to work, but I also gave up because of disgust, in fact, in these senses, I am just like you. ”

"Didn't you have a job after you came out of school?"

Qiao Yiyu shook her head: "Among all the people I know, none of them have a 'formal job', and the definition of a worker in our time is the same as ...... Just like your definition of the elite of society, only the best people will be asked to work, to be needed by society, and work is more of a recognition than a burden in our view. ”

Han Le opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word, he didn't know why Qiao Yiyu suddenly said this to him, but he had to admit that these words made him feel a lot better, because these words faded the mysterious aura that had been hanging over Qiao Yiyu's head - before this, Han Le was like Dong Yong in ancient times, and he simply regarded Qiao Yiyu as a mortal seven fairies.

"That'...... What about your ordinary people? ”

"Just like you are now, be idle, learn to enjoy life."

"Then you are so happy," Han Le said, "this is simply the life we have always dreamed of!" ”

"Do you feel happy now?"

"I'm ...... Personal personality reasons. ”

"No," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "This is exactly what I want to tell you, your problem is not a personal problem, even in this era, it has become a very important social issue." ”

"You mean...... Depression? ”

"No, I mean, you have to learn to live with the boredom of life, try to make yourself happy, and believe me, this ability will be more important in the future than the ability to make money and work."

Han Le smiled bitterly: "But I feel it's more difficult...... To be honest, sometimes when I feel strong, I really don't feel the point of living. ”

"If someone else says this, I won't object, but you...... You have the opportunity to touch the future, and you are not curious at all? ”

"That's why I just think that way...... But once this feeling comes up, it is really, no matter what the idea is, it is useless...... Do you know what Xie Yongqing called me in this situation before? ”

"What?"

He coined a term called dopamine insufficiency...... He said that people think of themselves as intelligent and autonomous animals, but in fact, most of their behavior is subconsciously controlled by hormones...... What about your time? Doesn't that see it? ”

Qiao Yiyu looked at Han Le worriedly: "Even if that's the case, hormones are also part of you...... Human beings are not pure brain thinking in the first place. ”

"Isn't it?"

Qiao Yiyu didn't fight with him, and after a while, Han Le smiled again: "Does anyone know...... But you don't have to worry about me, I'm not going to kill myself. ”

Qiao Yiyu still didn't speak, in her opinion, it was useless for Han Le to say anything now, she didn't feel the pain of depression, they also took a similar course when they were in school, affecting the brain's endocrine system through chips - Xie Yongqing's point of view is very right, people are such animals that are easily affected by hormones, after completely cutting off pleasure, it doesn't even take an hour, people will completely fall into despair, that kind of despair is unimaginable for people who have not experienced it, just like suddenly, everything in the world has changed, It's like the colorful world in the eyes has suddenly become a bunch of disgusting number symbols on the blackboard, all the meaning disappears in an instant, leaving only an empty world in the mind, and in this perspective, the person himself seems to have become a boring doll.

The school only allows students to understand the limitations of human beings, the ancients believed that human beings should be perfect, yes, since God created them, and made them win in the competition, and have the intelligence to understand the world, then they should be perfect - this perfection refers more to a recognition of the current state of existence, behold, we are so enthusiastic about living, working, creating, and multiplying, there is nothing more proud of this, and we can do this not because of anything else, It's because God created us to do so, and that's right! Unalterable principle!

This kind of almost religious-like emotion was very huge in the early stage of civilization, but with the development of civilization, it has also been questioned more and more - thinking is a transcendent behavior, as a person who has this behavior, it is inevitable to have some kind of transcendence, it is precisely because of the existence of this transcendence that people cannot be satisfied with just the senses, comfort themselves with a natural sentence, they will subconsciously seek a more conclusive conclusion - but in this world, such a conclusion does not exist, no matter from what point of view, The survival and reproduction of human civilization seems to be just a joke made by this universe, or rather, a boring accident, as for the rest, morality, meaning, mission...... It's all the whispers of people who comfort themselves over and over again in boredom.

How about this fact, this is not only a problem that everyone will consider in the future, but also a problem that civilization needs to consider, and the earth civilization in 2048 is obviously still too naïve, just like a child, subconsciously exploring, maintaining curiosity about the world, this is the only thing he can do.

After a long silence, Qiao Yiyu suddenly stood up and said to Han Le, "Do you want to be happy?" ”

Han Le raised his head to look at her, and then looked at the group of dancing people in front of him, thinking that Qiao Yiyu was going to pull him to dance, and hesitated a little embarrassedly: "I won't ......" In fact, he was ready to "reluctantly" in his heart.

Qiao Yiyu didn't persuade him, but came behind him and put his finger on his temple: "Close your eyes." ”
