Chapter 56: A Cold Heart
Li Zhi left in a daze, and the old woman's words were tantamount to tearing away the disguise he had been having. www.biquge.info He is indifferent by nature, it is his nature, it is innate.
He could understand, but it was hard to accept.
Nature is not something that he can choose and control, it comes from an expression of genes, it is this gene that makes him, if it were not for this gene, he would not be there. It's quite a contradiction, some people resent their brains for not being smart enough, hating their parents for giving them genes, if my father is whoever he is, he can become smart if he has good genes. But they ignore that if it weren't for this gene, then the one who was born into the world would not be themselves.
He has the gene of indifference, which belongs to the demon, which is evil. Li Zhi couldn't help but question again and again in his mind, who freed himself from indifference, and who saved himself?
Li Zhi, the original ordinary college student, he was indifferent, he didn't love anyone, he didn't love himself, his life was empty and lonely. He originally thought that his personality was caused by the environment and acquired, but it was not, it was himself, the original self. His experience was just an excuse to disguise that he wasn't a demon.
His crossing was a coincidence, his rebirth was supposed to follow his original trajectory, and his indifference was his best weapon in the world of light. But someone rescued himself from that cold nightmare, he was Li Sheng, and it was he who gave Li Zhi's world warmth, and he decided to put on a mask and dress himself up with a layer of hypocritical human skin. He wants to have feelings, he wants to be cared for, he wants to get the most sincere feelings between people.
He wants to be a real person with flesh and blood and feelings! He deliberately opened his heart to love others, to be crazy for others, and to be stupid for others. That's stupid, but he's happy, he's becoming more and more like a real person, he's no longer apathetic.
But now, the skin had been torn open, and he felt that his perfect disguise, the fact that he had deliberately ignored, had been torn apart, as if his clothes had been stripped naked and thrown on the street for others to see.
The so-called Tao is to face oneself, understand oneself, look at everything about oneself with a normal heart, and find out the side of one's heart that one desires the most, and what oneself has to pursue even if he gives up his life.
The old woman hoped that Li Zhi could face up to her indifference and that he could be reborn in brokenness, but ...... Li Zhi refused, and he put on his mask again.
He can't do it, and he never will.
The old woman just looked at it from God's point of view, she didn't really understand Li Zhi, she wasn't him, she didn't know what was behind the mask, it wasn't light, it was making Li Zhi feel deep darkness. Li Zhi didn't dare to gamble, and he didn't want to gamble, so it was enough, Li Zhi was still the same Li Zhi, the willful to love and hate him.
On the other side, while everyone is leaving
The old woman was looking at Li Zhi's painting in the dark room, she groped softly on it, and she saw that the mask that had been almost broken was regrouped together. The old woman's face was no longer so gentle and kind, but hideous, her sharp nails rubbed frantically on the painting, making a 'zizi' piercing sound, she aimed at the mask again and again and scraped hard, her eyes became more and more crazy and violent.
"You forced me, you forced me!!"
Li Sheng didn't have the same troubles as Li Zhi, after he walked out of the studio, he hurriedly went to rent a room, closed the doors and windows, carefully took out the painting, treated the painting like a treasure in the world, and peeled off the cloth on it little by little.
He likes this painting very much, he likes the sun on the painting, it can bring him warmth, this warmth wraps around him, makes him no longer cold.
Li Sheng knows very well the meaning of this painting, and he also knows very well that this is his state of mind, and it is precisely because of this that he likes this painting so much.
The sun is Li Zhi, he is shining, it is so dazzling, it illuminates the world, and at the same time brings him warmth. Li Sheng's only wish is to protect him, not to let him dim, and to be his most solid backup.
"Li Sheng, is it convenient for me to come in?"
Li Sheng frowned slightly, and the sound outside the door was quite harsh, but then he was relieved, because he recognized that the owner of the voice was the author of the painting.
The old woman came in and closed the doors and windows, sat down slowly in a chair, and gently groped her hand with the portrait on the table.
"You like this painting very much, don't you?"
The old woman's hoarse voice said softly: "But you and I both know that this is not what you are, and you should know very well what that black spot is." ”
Li Sheng didn't speak, and his body began to tremble slightly.
"You've worked hard, but it's getting harder and harder to catch up with him, you're desperately trying to close the gap between you, but ......"
The old woman's finger was on a point in the portrait, where the black dot was, the heart of the person in the portrait.
"You are different from him, he is a real Tianjiao, he was born extraordinary, he is destined to become the strongest, he is destined to grow at an inhuman speed, but you are only mortal. Mortals want to chase Tianjiao and want to catch up with him...... It's hard work......"
"Do you feel like you're there to protect him? No, no, no, you're just dragging him down, do you know the meaning of his painting? Because of your existence, he is trapped in the mirror, and at the same time, his existence also binds you, and you are trapped in this warm sun, gradually losing yourself. ”
"You're just hurting each other, he's getting stronger and stronger, even if you're trying your best to catch up, no matter how hard and tired you are, it's just a burden, and the more you want to follow that, the more you'll be thrown away. He must stop for the sake of you, he must protect you. ”
"You know, there's no way he can leave you alone, you're so important to him. If you die, you should know better than anyone what will become of him......"
"Why bother? Why bother? It is not impossible for mortals to catch up with Tianjiao, mortals have their own way of living, have their own path, you just need to abide by the most suitable method in your heart, maybe you can also become Tianjiao. But if you remain in your current state, if you live in his shadow, you will be just a mortal for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to catch up with him. ”
"The choice was painful, but the result was wonderful. What should you do...... What is best for both parties...... I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out......"
