Chapter 22: Confessions in the Garden
"Daddy didn't really value money very much. It was also an accident that I did this flower and herb business back then. Although the business in the house is good, my father is always busy and has no time to rest, let alone accompany my mother. If we give up this business, it is not necessarily a bad thing for our family. ”
"My uncle's concern is not really about the profit or loss of the business, but about the workers who depend on the business in the house to survive. He mentioned it earlier. ”
Su Yingxue said: "Actually, those workers already have skills in hand, even if we don't do this business in our house, there are still people to do." They can go somewhere else, too. ”
Qin Ziqing shook his head and said with a smile: "Where is such a simple thing." Although he has skills in hand, there are so many people who make a living outside, how can they see that people will use him? You don't know how poor people live, and you don't know how important this job is to them. ”
Su Yingxue was a little ashamed, her face turned crimson, and she sighed: "I am indeed thinking simply. It seems that my father is going to be embarrassed. ”
Qin Ziqing persuaded; "You don't have to be like this, my uncle has been in business for many years, what kind of things have not been experienced, there will always be a way."
The fish was not fed for a while, and the fish did not know where to swim. Qin Ziqing looked up, the sunlight was very dazzling. Seeing that Su Yingxue is in a good mood today, it is a good time to talk.
"When I first came back to see you a few years ago, you looked very melancholy, could you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help you. ”
When Su Yingxue heard this, her expression was a little unpredictable for a while. She lowered her head, lowered her eyelashes, and lost her gaze.
After a long time, Su Yingxue raised her head, seemed to have a lot of courage, and said, "If I say it, you are not allowed to laugh at my crankiness." ”
Qin Ziqing swore: "Sister, don't worry, you are telling me what is in your heart, how can I bear your sincerity!" I won't laugh at you or tell anyone else. ”
Seeing that he was sincere, Su Yingxue nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid I'm too bored in this mansion, so I'm thinking nonsense all day long." ”
After a pause, I listened to her again, "I always wonder, why did I come into this world, why did I appear, why am I and not anyone else or anything?" What I do every day is not something I do, it's something I do for me. So am I myself, or am I someone in this world who controls our lives? Whoever it seems to be busy, but what is the purpose of busyness? To survive? But what is the meaning of existence? I'm confused. I don't know what I'm here for, as if I'm not myself. I was like a puppet being manipulated, living a life that I didn't know what to call day after day. Even if my soul does not dwell in this body, this body will let things around me continue to go according to its own order. So what is my soul? ”
Su Yingxue suddenly turned her head and looked at Qin Ziqing with doubts in her eyes: "You say, could I be a puppet, but I suddenly have my own consciousness, trapped in this body and unable to get out and move?" ”
Su Yingxue didn't wait for Qin Ziqing's answer, shook her head and said, "No, I don't know." I don't really know anything. It's all so weird. I was thirsty, every part of my body felt thirsty, but I couldn't find what I needed. I wanted to get out, but I couldn't find it. I can't figure out why this is because no one around me is living a natural life, and they don't think there's anything wrong with this life. They live as naturally as if everything is meant to be. But why do I feel so uncomfortable? Why? Tell me, why is that? ”
Su Yingxue dragged Qin Ziqing's arm as if she was crazy, and kept asking.
Qin Ziqing was stunned. Why?
Qin Ziqing fell into deep thought, as if he was caught in the whirlpool of Su Yingxue's string of questions.
And Su Yingxue was still trapped in her own contemplation. Muttered to himself: "Is this world in my eyes really the world in my eyes?" Am I really me? Why am I here? Why do you live a life where everything is arranged step by step, why do you go on like this, day by day, until the death of your life? So why did I come here on this earthly journey? Why, exactly? ”
Qin Ziqing couldn't relax for a while, Su Yingxue's words were very strange, but they seemed to make a lot of sense.
People are born to be human, what do they live for?
Is that what it means? Su Yingxue is confused because of this?
But what do you live for?
Qin Ziqing slowly sorted out his thoughts, and after a long time, he said: "In this world, some people seek fame, some people seek wealth, and some people seek profit, but these are all external, and they are not brought in life, and they are not brought in death. And if you ask for something, you will be bound. I never thought about the questions you mentioned. However, since I mentioned it today, I also thought about myself. If one day, I do come to the day of death, I will regret something. ”
Qin Ziqing turned around and held Su Yingxue's shoulder, his eyes were sincere and clear: "First, if I can't spend my life with you, then even if I die, I can't turn a blind eye." ”
Su Yingxue didn't want him to say this suddenly, she was embarrassed for a while, don't look around. But I heard Qin Ziqing continue:
"Second, if I can't go through the world, I can't look blind; Third, if I can't protect you all my life, I can't turn a blind eye. Everything else is also important, but if I can't do these three, I really can't see it. ”
Su Yingxue listened to it and savored his words in her heart. was supposed to dissect his own doubts, but he caused him to do so. I really don't know what to do right now.
Qin Ziqing continued; "Cher, what I just said is true. Our parents have long decided on the matter of you and me. My heart for you, you should have been aware of it all these years. It's just that I don't dare to confirm your intentions, and I never dare to surprise you. ”
Qin Ziqing saw that Su Yingxue looked embarrassed, although her face was a little red, but the embarrassment was fully displayed between her eyebrows. Qin Ziqing felt uncomfortable in his heart, let go of his hand, and was silent.
After a long time, both of them stopped talking, and even the wind around them seemed to be a little embarrassed, and gradually stopped.
"What I said today is just to tell you all that I have in mind." Qin Ziqing said with some difficulty, "My mind is just my mind, I will respect you, you can rest assured." ”
After a pause, he said, "I'll wait slowly until the day you find out what you really love." Even if that person isn't me, I'll still protect you for the rest of your life. ”
