Chapter 5: The Nature of Love
In the back garden, everyone is discussing playing a game of heroes saving beauty.
How to play. Once the game starts, both the hero and the villain close their eyes and count down to thirty seconds, allowing the beauty to hide. Then, the hero closes his eyes and counts down to thirty seconds, allowing the villains to hide as well. Once the bad guys are hidden, the game begins. Heroes go around looking for bad guys. The bad guys sneak around to find beautiful women. Once the bad guy finds the beauty, he catches the beauty. If the hero is able to catch the badass within thirty seconds, the badass loses and the game restarts. If the hero can't catch the bad guy within thirty seconds, Beauty and Hero fail and the game starts again.
When Tep returns to the back garden, he joins the game as well.
In the beginning, Tep played the hero and Bray played the villain. After the game starts, Bray picks Deas to catch them, and the hero just needs to protect Dees.
Later, Bray plays the hero, and Tep plays the villain. As soon as Tepu catches a girl, the girl runs away with Tep, and Bray has a hard time catching them up in ten seconds.
Since then, Bray has failed again and again, and his heart is very dissatisfied.
Just when everyone is making a fuss. Suddenly, I heard two crisp gunshots, "pop, pop", followed by a loud "boom". A puff of smoke rose from the front of the villa. The explosion stunned and stunned everyone.
Tep's first thought was of an asteroid hitting Mercury.
Deace had no preconceived notions, and her first reaction was: "Terrorist attack!" ”
Tep yelled "Get down", and everyone fell to the ground.
Then there was a mixture of crying, sirens, and running. It didn't take long for the villa to be surrounded by reinforced police.
Tepu took a look at the back garden and felt that it was relatively safe. He instructed everyone to take refuge under the wall of the octagonal pavilion for a while, and then go to the front to see what was happening.
After a while, everyone heard the sound of an ambulance from far to near, and from near to far. Immediately after, Tep came back, panting and saying, "It's okay." It's a terrorist attack. A sedan did not heed the police and rushed into the villa. The driver detonated the bomb after being shot twice. One policeman was injured and taken to hospital. ”
Rose asked with a slight cry, "Is there anything wrong with my family?!" ”
Tepu patted Rose on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, there are no accidents in your house except for a few pieces of glass shattering." ”
Rose was going upstairs to see her parents. Tepu dissuaded: "Now, there are a lot of dignitaries in the house, and Mr. Mayor is busy!" Don't make a mess. ”
At this time, several girls cried and shouted to go home, and Tepu dissuaded: "Now the villa area has been blocked, and I can't get out for the time being." ”
In order to ease the tension, Tepu summoned everyone to continue to the Octagonal Pavilion to play games, but no one had that kind of elegance.
Taipu used small twigs as chess pieces, and placed an ancient chess game that has been passed down in the Sanshan area - "Four Moves" in the ground.
The four-step chessboard resembles a "Gang" character, with a circle in the middle. The name of the circle is "Shige Chiaoka", which represents the toilet. Within four moves of this kind of chess, one of the pieces must be forced into a corner. When a piece is forced into a dead corner, it must spit into the "Maogang" instead of a chess move before the game can continue. Winning or losing is judged by the number of times you spit on the "Maogang". More is a loss, less is a win.
When Tep introduces the rules to Deaise, everyone is drawn to the strange rules. Especially in the game, when Tepu is forced to spit in "Maogang", everyone is amused to laugh.
At that moment, Ress's cell phone rang. After answering the phone, Rose whispered to Tepp and told Tepp to go to the mayor through the back door alone.
In the mayor's living room, there sat a large group of officials who had come to offer their condolences. When the mayor saw Tep, he didn't say a word, and led him directly to his bedroom.
Before the conversation, the mayor turned on the recorder and said: "I agree with your suggestion to prepare for the prevention of disasters in the name of anti-terrorism exercises." Is there anything else you would like to remind of? ”
"Of course," Tepu said, "First, stock up on daily necessities in the bomb shelter in advance. 2. Notify relevant departments to make mobilization preparations for the city's anti-terrorism drills. 3. Notify the electric power and fire departments to make preparations for disaster relief and disaster relief. Fourth, from now on, each police officer in the city will be equipped with an electric shock baden with a flashlight. 5. Require the police department to formulate a plan for maintaining social order during the extraordinary period. 6. Prepare reliable long-distance walkie-talkies to ensure smooth communication ...... key posts in the city. ”
As Tep spoke, the mayor looked at him quietly without saying a word, his eyes full of endless appreciation and love. Eventually, he invited Tepp to work in the bustling city again. Tep was still hesitant.
By the time Tepu returned to the back garden, everyone else downstairs had already left. Only Dyace and Rees were waiting for him in the Octagonal Pavilion.
Rose asked with concern, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Very well," Tep said, "the mayor has accepted my suggestion." ”
"So," Reese asked, with an earnest look on her face, "have you accepted the mayor's suggestion?" ”
Tepu said gloomily, "Not yet, I'll think about it seriously." ”
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Taipu said goodbye to Rise, "If nothing else, the whole city will soon conduct a terrorist drill, and we will go back to the hotel to prepare." ”
On the way back to the hotel, Dyace asked, "What did you say?" ”
Tepu told Dees about his advice to the mayor and the mayor's idea of keeping him.
Dyace asked a little jealously, "You have such an important idea, why don't you tell me first?" ”
Tepu said apologetically, "Although I have been here for a short time, for some reason, I feel nervous and uneasy at the thought of the possible disaster for the people here, and I can't help but want to explain the situation to the mayor." ”
Dyace playfully asked, "Is it because of Mary or Rise?" ”
Tep said, "Neither, it's all too." But the main thing is for you. ”
Dyace blushed slightly and bowed her head and said, "Oily tongue." ”
Taipu was anxious and explained: "It's really for you, the teacher's advice is clear, and I can't live up to the teacher's trust." ”
The air seemed to freeze all at once, and neither of them had anything to say.
In just half a day of contact, Dyace has developed an inexplicable dependence on Taipu. She didn't understand why Mary, Rose and the other girls fell in love with Tep at first sight. But one thing Deas is sure of is that Tep is a very attractive young man.
Judging by his appearance, Bray is by no means below Tep. In terms of profundity, Tepu is not at the same level as the professor at all. But from Mary's treatment of Tepu and Tep's treatment of Mary, you can see why Tepu is cute.
Take, for example, the attitude of Mary and Tepu towards each other. In the eyes of others, Mary's intimacy with Tep always seemed a little frivolous and even debauched. On the contrary, Tep's attitude towards Mary seems to be accommodating, pure and decent.
There seems to be a temperament in Taipu's body, a detached, free and easy temperament. Like the wind, you can feel his presence everywhere, but you can't see or grasp it.
Dean asked, "You say the people here are so open, do they have love?" ”
Tep looked at Dees in surprise and asked, "Why do you think that?" ”
"Ress's father and mother are ...... ...... all."
"Hahaha" Seeing Dieth's embarrassed appearance, Tep smiled and said: "The essence of love is sex, in other words, love is born of sex. The perfect combination of sex and love can be called love. ”
Because of the awkward topic, Tepu pretended to be serious and said: "Real love is actually very short-lived, just like an orgasm." The probability of two people having an orgasm at the same time is very small. What we usually call love is either to nurture sex with affection, or to nurture affection with sex. The only person who can completely separate sex from sex and emotion may be sex workers. ”
"You don't believe in eternal love?" Dyace asked in surprise.
"At the very least, the love of the Mercuryians now is all purposeful." Tep continued his view of love, saying: "Love in literary stories is on the surface the pursuit of beautiful things by human beings, but in fact it is the propaganda made by human beings in order to maintain the family and private society. Loving you is old and infinitely elevates the energy of love. Almost all of the people believe it's true. Actually, love is not that great at all. ”
"What?" Dyace almost dropped her jaw and asked, "Isn't there no love in the union of the mayor's wife?" ”
Seeing Dieth's expression, Tepu smiled and said, "The love between the mayor and his wife should have happened a long time ago. At that time, they truly loved each other and formed a family. Later, sexuality, which plays a major role in love, changed, and love changed with it. It became a friendship or a kin-like feeling. At this time, the family is like a company they run together, although the relationship between the partners has changed, but the company is the result of their painstaking management, and it is difficult to make the decision to dissolve. So I think that the love of the mayor couple has long ended. The main reason why they maintain their marriage is because of the obstacles set up by private society. ”
"This" Tep's point of view sounds a little presumptuous at first glance, but when you think about it, it is very reasonable. For unfamiliar territory, Dyace prefers to ask questions rather than question them. She was curious to know what Tep knew about other feelings.
"What about family affection?" Dyace asked.
"In the same way, the essence of family affection is blood, that is, love is born because of blood." This answer is basically consistent with Dieth's inference.
"Friendship, then?" There is neither sex nor blood in friendship. As with their current relationship, Deace wanted to know what Tep would say.
Hearing the friendship, Tepu finally showed an approving look and said, "Compared with love and family affection, friendship is the purest personal emotion in private society. ”
Tep's perspective is always so original. was talking about feelings, but suddenly a private society popped up.
Dieth asked curiously, "Is it still related to the social foundation of feelings?" ”
"Of course" Chus's students, all of them are very talkative. Tepu gushed out: "In a private society, the relationship of interests is the most important social relationship of human beings. Driven by interests, human beings perfectly integrate marriage, family and blood relations through sexuality, forming the most basic social cells, which are strictly protected by the law. Without sexual privatization, there can be no stable marriage and family, and special blood and inheritance ties cannot be maintained. This is the essence of private social feelings. On the contrary, public society is much simpler. ”
As the question unfolded, Dieth also became cheerful, and said thoughtfully: "That is to say, only in a public society, human beings can distinguish between love, sex, and blood relations. Only friendship is the purest emotion in the world. ”
"No, no, no," Tepulian said three "no" words before saying, "The first half of the sentence is very correct." In a private society, everything is based on interests, and friendship is not so pure, and it cannot withstand the test of interests. ”
That's not right, that's not right, Dieth put on a posture of breaking the casserole and asked, "What do you think is the purest human emotion?" ”
Tepu thought for a moment and replied: "Selflessness is to break through personal limitations, social sentiments. The purest human feelings should be the feelings for the whole society that arise from responsibility. It is what we often say, social responsibility. ”
Tep's words didn't surprise Deese's judgment. She couldn't help but nod her head again and again and said, "Society is public, I know this." ”。
"Society for the public" is a phrase that professors often say.
Tepu suddenly remembered Des's identity, and said embarrassedly: "Be reasonable, the teacher understands better than me, you better go back and ask the teacher." ”
"The professor won't talk to me about these topics." Dyese smiled and said, "Among the professor's students, you can be said to be a great philosopher who focuses on sex. ”
Tepu smiled embarrassedly.
As the two walked to the plaza near the hotel, Tepu saw it out of his eyes. A middle-aged man was sneakily pulling something out of his satchel. Tep tensed. It was covered with a black cloth, like a weapon.
Sensing that the situation was not good, Tep understood and pulled Deace up and ran towards a less crowded area.
When the middle-aged man saw Tep running, he chased after him for a few steps, then threw away his camouflage and fired at the crowd with a miniature submachine gun.
Hearing the gunshot, Tep threw Deace to the ground and used his body to block Deaise. The crowd erupted in continuous screams and runs.
The man froze for a moment, chasing after the largest crowd, running and shooting.
Hearing the gunshots go away, Tepu immediately thought of calling the police. However, he searched all over his body and did not find his mobile phone.
Dieth's phone is always in that pocket on the right side of her body. But because he didn't dare to speak, Tepu silently touched Dees's phone with his hand. Without paying attention, he actually put his hand into Dyace's clothes. Frightened, Tep immediately withdrew his hand as if he was burned.
Dees knew why Taipu was so abrupt, and tremblingly sent the phone to Taip's face, and stammered, "Quick, quick, here, you call the police." ”
