Volume 1 Life Exploration Chapter 1 The Meaning of Life

Section 1: Despair

"Someone threw themselves into the lake!"

"Come and save people!"

Someone was shouting in a panic by the lake on the campus of Imperial University.

"That's where I jumped just now!"

A middle-aged woman pointed to the rockery on the lake and said excitedly to some people who were attracted by the shouting.

"Where?"

"Why can't you see people?"

--- ---

Onlookers on the edge of the lake point their fingers, chatter and talk, attracting more curious people.

At this time, on the surface of the lake, the ripples caused by Feng Mei's jumping down just now had regained calm. The rockery was built in the deep water area of the lake, and no one in the crowd of onlookers jumped to save people.

Not as poignant and tragic as imagined, as soon as Feng Mei fell into the lake, the lake water ruthlessly blocked Feng Mei's breathing, Feng Mei panicked, instinctively opened her mouth, and the lake water immediately poured in, Feng Mei could clearly hear her "coo, coo" swallowing water.

Fear, the human instinct to survive, Feng Mei's mind flashed a glimmer of desire to survive, trying to hold her breath, but immediately lost her resistance to the lake because of the instinct to breathe......

The panicked Feng Mei's consciousness gradually blurred, gave up the struggle, and let the lake water rush into her body unscrupulously......

Vaguely, Feng Mei felt a hand holding her, the brightness of light in front of her eyes, and the whirring sound of wind in her ears...... Feng Mei fainted, unconscious.

Three years ago, Feng Mei was full of longing for love, fascinated by the profound thoughts of her mentor, the world is so beautiful, youth is so exciting, Feng Mei feels that she is the most fulfilling, thoughtful, happiest, and happiest person in the world!

Just yesterday, on this lakeside path on the campus, the tenderness of the tutor was still gone, and the promise of the sea was still echoing in her ears, Feng Mei saw that the lover she admired was holding her lover to walk on the path they walked together, so affectionate, so warm-------

"But you said you wanted to marry me!" Feng Mei argued with her mentor in the evening.

"That's impossible, your wife will make trouble with the school leaders, how can I stay in the school in the future?

"You just think about yourself, so what should I do?" Feng Mei cried.

"I'll help you recommend a good unit, but if you have to make trouble like this, it's a question of whether you can graduate by then!" said the mentor threateningly.

"No, I don't want anything, I don't want anything, Teacher Wang, I beg you, don't leave me! I'll go and explain to my wife tomorrow, if she doesn't agree, I'll kneel and beg her, I don't want anything, I just want you!" Feng Mei cried and pleaded.

"Don't make any more fools, it's not good for you and me to make any more trouble, and finally tell you again, it's impossible for us!" the mentor said resolutely, shaking off Feng Mei's hands that were holding him, and walked away angrily.

Feng Mei, who sat on the rockery on the lake almost all afternoon, replayed the past in her mind over and over again like a movie, and the laughter of her classmates came from the lake in the distance, but she was afraid that she would never hear it again, Feng Mei smiled miserably, and the lake below the rockery seemed to be calling to herself: "Jump down, leave this painful world, it's a hundred." ”

"Dad, Mom, Teacher Wang, my love, farewell!"

As soon as Feng Mei closed her eyes, the corners of her eyes were full of tears, and she jumped towards the lake.

Section 2 Strange Worlds

One afternoon in early summer, a torrential rain came unexpectedly, and it crackled for more than two hours.

When the rain stopped, the mountains looked fresher and more beautiful! A rainbow fell from the sky, like a colorful bridge, erected on the surface of an unnamed lake in the mountains, which was picturesque.

Jiang Nanyu walked on the mountain path, breathing the air mixed with the fragrance of flowers after the rain, he was fascinated, and his heart was suddenly filled with inexplicable joy, as if he was in a happy and beautiful paradise.

As he walked, Jiang Nanyu suddenly saw a colorful gate appear on the grass in front of him, shining with a strange brilliance in the afterglow of the setting sun!

Jiang Nanyu unconsciously ran towards the gate, and the world in front of him stunned him all of a sudden!

What unfolded in front of him was another real world, with mountains, lakes, seas, high-rise buildings, streets, men, women, and children-------

Everything was like a beautiful picture, unfolding in front of him, and his body suddenly became very light, and he could actually fly freely in the air with his consciousness.

Jiang Nanyu suppressed the surprise in his heart and couldn't wait to enter this temporary new world.

The surprised Jiang Nanyu discovered a strange phenomenon again, in this new world, as long as he was curious about someone, a halo with words would appear on the top of this person's head.

He tried to observe the people who passed by him. The halo on the head of a little girl reads "vanity", the halo on the head of a young man reads "positive", the halo on the head of a middle-aged man reads "sanctimonious", the halo on the head of an old man reads "kindness", the halo on the head of a noble lady reads "self-righteousness", the halo on the head of a cleaner reads "kind", and the halo on the head of a burly man actually reads "chameleon-------

Jiang Nanyu felt very novel! He was observing this new world and secretly thinking.

"Where do I go?"

Passing by a shopping mall, Jiang Nanyu accidentally saw himself in the mirror, and he was surprised to find that he was a twenty-year-old

The students on the left and right looked like they were wearing the emblem of the Imperial University on their chests! This made Jiang Nanyu realize that he might be in this world, and his identity should be a student of the Imperial University.

Jiang Nanyu looked around, the world in front of him was like looking at a map in front of him, which could be consulted at will, and he quickly found the location of the Imperial University, which was not far from him.

Jiang Nanyu came to the front of the Imperial University, the gate of the Imperial University was open, a boulder was engraved with the words "Imperial University", all kinds of people came and went freely, Jiang Nanyu deliberately nodded to the doorman, and the doorman also politely returned him with a smile, which made Jiang Nanyu feel very kind.

Jiang Nanyu wandered aimlessly around the campus of Imperial University and came to a campus lake, where a beautiful girl was sitting on a stone mountain by the lake, looking at the lake in a daze. It seems that this girl must have been staying by the lake for a long time, the girl is wearing a black dress, which sets off the smooth and delicate skin, and her eyebrows are full of deep sadness and helplessness.

The melancholy girl suddenly aroused Jiang Nanyu's curiosity, Jiang Nanyu deliberately looked at the top of her head, and the top of the girl's head immediately showed a faint aura, and the word "simple" was written in the aura.

"Someone jumped into the lake, save people"

Jiang Nanyu was thinking about how to approach this girl when he suddenly heard someone yelling.

The girl on the stone mountain before was gone, and it was she who jumped into the lake at the moment when Jiang Nanyu didn't notice. The people on the shore shouted, but none of them dared to jump down to save people, and the girl obviously couldn't swim, and there was only a circle of water marks on the surface of the lake, and there was no trace of the girl.

"A girl just jumped off that rocky mountain. ”

"That's the place. ”------

The people on the shore were chattering

Jiang Nanyu immediately realized that it was not good, and ran up the stone mountain quickly, without having time to take off his coat, he "pounced" a fierce man and plunged in.

The girl must have drunk a lot of lake water, and is weakly and blindly struggling in the water. Jiang Nanyu swam over quickly, picked up the girl and swam to the lake. Jiang Nanyu moved very quickly, and when she was carried to the grass on the shore, the girl did not completely faint, and the corners of her mouth kept spitting out the lake water.

It is important to save people, Jiang Nanyu pressed the girl's stomach with his hand in front of many onlookers, and pressed down rhythmically, helping the girl vomit more lake water. The girl's expression slowly became quieter, and her face looked extremely pale and weak.

There were more and more onlookers, just standing around and talking, and no one was willing to come and help. The girl was still in a semi-comatose state, Jiang Nanyu thought about it, if this continues, someone will soon recognize the identity of the girl, and the gossip in the future may be very unfavorable to the girl. Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyu picked up the girl with both hands, walked out of the crowd, and quickly left from the place where the girl dived.

"Where are you taking this girl to?" Jiang Nanyu thought as he walked, and with an idea, Jiang Nanyu tried to urge his observation ability just now, and sure enough, the world was suddenly like a clear map, presented in front of him. After searching around, Jiang Nanyu found that there was a single villa in a beautiful mountain in the distance, the villa was obviously unattended, and the door was still locked.

Now that he can't care so much, Jiang Nanyu decided to borrow this mysterious mountain villa first. Jiang Nanyu quickly found a remote place with the girl in his arms, looked around and no one paid attention, and quickly flew up with the girl, flying towards the elegant villa in the mountains like a ghost.

Everything is so incredible!

Taking the girl into the villa, Jiang Nanyu found a bedroom and put the girl on the bed. Judging from the furnishings of the bedroom, it should be the bedroom of the hostess of this villa.

Jiang Nanyu found a pajamas, took off the girl's wet black dress, and the girl's well-proportioned and white ketone body was immediately displayed in front of Jiang Nanyu without reservation, exuding the charm of youth and flawless!

Jiang Nanyu was shocked and felt a little hot on his face, so he took the girl's underwear, helped her put on soft pajamas, and found a dry towel to dry the girl's black hair like a waterfall.

Jiang Nanyu settled the girl and began to have time to carefully look at the temporarily borrowed villa. The villa is very elegantly furnished and warmly furnished, with very good views from the living room and balcony and unobstructed views across the beautiful mountains.

After thinking about it, I also found a set of sportswear and took a hot shower, and it seems that I can only borrow it here today.

Section 3 Simple Girls

The sky in the mountains was getting darker.

Jiang Nanyu was playful when he was a child, and he had the experience of falling into the water, knowing that the girl might be hungry when she woke up, and she would have no taste in her mouth, so it was best to eat some meat and strong food. Hurriedly found the kitchen, and at a glance, it was really rich, and there were all kinds of kitchen ingredients and seasonings!

Finding a quick local pork, a bag of eggplant, and a bag of green chili, Jiang Nanyu began to get busy, and at night, a bowl of fragrant braised pork, a plate of green roasted eggplant, and a plate of chili fried pork were put on the table.

It's time to wake up the girl.

Feng Mei woke up a long time ago, looking at the surroundings in amazement, this is a warm and luxurious bedroom, the bed is particularly soft, white and flawless, the grass-colored curtains dance gently in the breeze, the sunset spreads in, covering half of the room, the room is very quiet,

"Did you come to another world, or in heaven?" Feng Mei pinched her arm fiercely according to the old man's words.

"Ahh

There were two knocks outside the door, Feng Mei suddenly became nervous, subconsciously hugged the quilt, and stared at the door vigilantly.

Jiang Nanyu came upstairs, knocked on the door politely, and saw that no one in the house responded, so he pushed the door straight and walked in.

Seeing the girl staring at him vigilantly, Jiang Nanyu immediately understood the girl's mind and deliberately created a relaxed atmosphere.

"Wake up, my clothes are soaking wet, and I changed them for you without your permission. I'm sorry!" Jiang Nanyu asked naturally and calmly, just like greeting his sister at home in his daily life.

"Who are you?" Feng Mei asked nervously and eagerly.

"My name is Jiang Nanyu, and I am from the same school as you, this is my home. Jiang Nanyu still replied calmly and softly.

"Your home, where is this, how did you bring me here?" Feng Mei was determined to clear all the doubts first.

"It's not far from your school, and I brought you home. Jiang Nanyu still said with a gentle smile.

"You saved me?"

"Yes. ”

"???" Feng Mei didn't know what to ask all of a sudden, so she had to try to recall the situation after she fell into the water, as if someone hugged her, helped her spit water, and flew with her, but they were all fragmented vague memories.

"You should be hungry, right? Let's go down and eat something first, shall we?" Seeing Feng Mei's doubtful look, Jiang Nanyu felt that he couldn't explain clearly, so he changed the topic.

"There is a bathroom in the room, the meals are ready, I'll wait for you downstairs!" Jiang Nanyu's last sentence was still soft, but there was no doubt about it.

Feng Mei felt that this boy didn't seem to have any malicious intent, and finally obeyed Jiang Nanyu's words, briefly freshened up, and went downstairs to sit at the dining table silently.

"Hungry, come, eat something first!"

Jiang Nanyu signaled, he started eating first, everything seemed so natural, as if nothing had happened, just like a normal dinner for a family.

Feng Mei's stomach was already empty after falling into the water and spitting water, and the peaceful atmosphere specially created by Jiang Nanyu also made her feel a lot more at ease, and the fried dishes on the table were quickly eaten by her, although she still didn't speak, Feng Mei's face slowly had a hint of ruddyness.

"Here, drink a glass of boiling water"

After the meal, Jiang Nanyu beckoned Feng Mei to sit on the soft fabric sofa in the living room, and poured another cup of hot water on the coffee table in front of him.

"Can you tell me what's going on with you?"

Jiang Nanyu looked at Feng Mei very sincerely.

Facing this boy who rescued herself, cared for and took her in, Feng Mei's eyes were full of gratitude, and she was silent for a long time, and Feng Mei finally shed tears and told everything she had experienced.

Jiang Nanyu listened to Feng Mei's narration, and immediately remembered that there was this professor, named Wang Youde, and his wife was called Zhao Fan, both of whom were teachers at Imperial University. Feng Mei's matter is not a secret in Imperial University, and it has long been rumored among teachers and students.

Jiang Nanyu was surprised that he could know about this immediately: "It seems that in this new world, I have my own arrangements in the dark, and my identity should be a student of the Imperial University?"

After Feng Mei finished talking about her experience, Jiang Nanyu listened quietly and didn't speak, and Feng Mei, who finished speaking, slowly quieted down.

"What's your dream?"

Jiang Nanyu seemed to be very casual and asked lightly

"What did you say?"

Feng Mei was very surprised to hear Jiang Nanyu's seemingly irrelevant question, thinking that she had heard it wrong, and asked weakly.

"Talk about your dreams in life, from your childhood, from the past, and from the present. Jiang Nanyu said in a light tone and repeated.

"Are you a classmate of our Imperial University?Why haven't I met you?Which department are you?" After a pause, Feng Mei asked rhetorically.

This time, Feng Mei was sure that she had heard the question, but her current situation and mood were very bad, and she was very reluctant to answer Jiang Nanyu's question just now, but in the face of this wonder boy who rescued herself without hesitation after jumping into the lake and brought herself to this fantasy place, she had to deal with it. So, Feng Mei diverted the topic.

"I'm from the Department of Philosophy, my name is Jiang Nanyu, and I also graduated from graduate school this year. Jiang Nanyu said along with his suddenly formed consciousness. After saying that, Jiang Nanyu himself was also shocked, it turned out that he was a graduate student in the Department of Philosophy of Imperial University!

"How did you bring me here just now?" Feng Mei kept recalling, after she fell into the water, she had a vague feeling that someone had saved her, and then it seemed that she was still flying in the sky for a while, and she clearly remembered the whirring wind in her ears. Feng Mei was eager to figure out what was going on.

"I'll tell you the truth, I flew here with you" Jiang Nanyu saw Feng Mei's question, and simply told her directly.

"You flew me here?" Feng Mei was very surprised, she didn't believe that her classmates would be so magical, but she did remember that she had been flying in the air for a while, and the whirring wind in her ears seemed to tell Feng Mei that it was true, Jiang Nanyu should not have lied, and Feng Mei would be suspicious.

"I can't tell, I don't know how it flew all at once. Jiang Nanyu told the truth, but he didn't want to tell Feng Mei that he was from another world.

The girl looked at Jiang Nanyu in surprise again, with a suspicious look on her face, and Jiang Nanyu couldn't explain too much.

"Some things will be discussed later, and some are time, let's take a look at the DVD, shall we?" Jiang Nanyu suggested.

During the conversation, Jiang Nanyu found that there were many film and television discs on the TV cabinet, and in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, he looked at the name and chose one.

"Yes. Feng Mei nodded.

Feng Mei, who had just walked past the Grim Reaper, had not yet come out of her grief and weakness, and naturally did not want to talk much now.

The film is very touching, Feng Mei unconsciously slowly integrated into the movie story playing in front of her.

The story is about a girl who was abandoned by her mother at birth, picked up and adopted by a single man, and her adoptive father was frustrated and lost her job in order to raise the girl, and in desperation she made a living by picking up garbage, so she never married.

In the movie, the girl is finally admitted to the conservatory through her talent and hard work. The adoptive father, who became ill due to perennial overwork, suffered from a terminal illness, and kept it hidden for fear of affecting the girl's studies. It wasn't until the adoptive father was admitted to the hospital that the girl was informed. Rushing to the hospital, the adoptive father was unconscious and in a vegetative state------

The song "If the Wine Is Dry" sung by the girl at the Youth Song Contest is deeply meaningful, the song is a beautiful memory of father's love like a mountain, and it is the true call of looking forward to the vegetative father's waking up as soon as possible, all the judges cried, the girl won the competition, paid off her debts, and woke up her father-----

"If the wine is not sold, what a familiar voice, how many years of wind and rain with me, never need to remember, never forget, there is no heaven and earth, there is no land where there is a home, there is no home for you, there is no me without you, if you have not raised me, give me a warm life, if you have not protected me, what will be my fate -------"

The episodes in the movie were remembered over and over again, touching Feng Mei's longing for her parents and her sentimentality about what happened to her------

It was late at night, it was time to rest, and Feng Mei already had a resolute look on her face.

Jiang Nanyu slept very well this night, and when he woke up, the sun was shining outside the window! Feng Mei got up early, stood on the balcony of the mountain villa and looked into the distance and pondered, obviously in much better spirits than yesterday.

Section 4 Beautiful Grasslands

"Shall we go out for a walk?"

After a simple breakfast, Jiang Nanyu proposed.

"Good. ”

Through her own observations, Feng Mei is now full of trust and dependence on Jiang Nanyu, and agreed without thinking.

When Jiang Nanyu got up, he had already done research, and he found that there was a prairie in the far north, and now it was the season of fertile water and grass, and the green grassland was full of cattle and sheep, and the scenery was very good.

Jiang Nanyu took Feng Mei to the grassland.

It was the first time Feng Mei had come to the prairie, and she immediately felt as if she had been melted by the vastness and beautiful scenery of the prairie.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Jiang Nanyu asked.

"No, it won't. Feng Mei replied.

"Then I'll ride with you, right?" Jiang Nanyu proposed.

"Okay!" Feng Mei looked forward to it with some excitement.

Jiang Nanyu rode back a horse from nowhere, and which horse made Feng Mei's eyes shine: red mane, white saddle, strong and clear bones, and a loud roar from time to time, like a beautiful elf on the grassland!

"He's called Lightning, come up!" Jiang Nanyu shouted happily.

Stretched out his hand to pick Feng Mei up on the horse's back, and with a slight stirrup, the lightning immediately raised his hooves and galloped towards the depths of the grassland!

Jiang Nanyu kept waving the horsewhip, the lightning galloped faster and faster, under the blue sky and white clouds, between the flowers and grasses, Feng Mei felt like a bird flying freely on the grassland------

Feng Mei's mood was completely relaxed now, her face was full of joyful smiles, and she was completely integrated into the beautiful scenery of the prairie!

As night fell, Jiang Nanyu and Feng Mei were invited to a herdsman's tent as guests.

"A beautiful singing voice sings for you

Welcome, my dear friend

The auspicious Hatha is lifted for you

Please drink this glass of true wine

The stars in the sky light up for you

Welcome, my dear friend

The rivers of the steppe flow for you

Please drink this glass of wine

Dear friends

Dear friends

A thousand words melt into this glass of wine

Dear friends

Dear friends

Good wishes go on forever

--------”

Listening to the beautiful toast song of the grassland, drinking the hot butter tea, eating the tender roast mutton, tasting the barley wine, and enjoying the dance choreographed by the herdsmen, an unforgettable grassland night!

The grassland in the early morning is exceptionally quiet, the morning breeze blows on the face, softly, coolly, a clear and bright river flows quietly not far from the tent.

Jiang Nanyu walked along the river, breathing in the fresh air with the scent of grass, and suddenly felt refreshed. Feng Mei also came, they looked at each other and smiled friendly, and naturally walked side by side into the distance together.

"Brother, thank you!" Feng Mei said sincerely.

"You're welcome," Jiang Nanyu responded naturally.

"Brother, I regret the day before yesterday now, I now find that there is nothing more important than life, if I die, I will never see the beauty of this grassland. ”

Jiang Nanyu looked at Feng Mei with encouraging eyes and did not interrupt her. It's like saying, "Keep talking." ”

"I used to be a good kid and a proud part of my family. Feng Mei recalled affectionately.

"Growing up, my parents have always pampered me and always given me the best, and I have many dreams, and my biggest dream is to be a great diplomat. ”

"The movie the night before me touched me a lot, and if I were gone this time, my parents would be very sad. ”

Feng Mei lowered her head, and there were already tears in her eyes.

"I miss them so much now that I wish I could go back to them right away. ”

Quietly listening to Feng Mei's narration, Jiang Nanyu was very happy, and now he began to feel at ease with Feng Mei.

"Then what are your plans for future work?" Jiang Nanyu asked.

"I want to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Become an excellent diplomat," Feng Mei looked very fascinated and determined.

"Okay, brother, support you!" Jiang Nanyu looked at Feng Mei encouragingly.

The morning sun rises, and at this time, the sky on the eastern grassland is dyed pink, and a glance at the green vast meadow and the clear river make a beautiful picture!

Feng Mei and Jiang Nanyu held hands side by side, quietly admiring this beautiful picture.

In Feng Mei's heart, a new hope has already been rekindled, and there is even a faint expectation for the future. At this moment, Feng Mei's mood was excited, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment!

In the past few days, Jiang Nanyu's silent protection of Feng Mei has made Feng Mei feel extremely warm, as for the irresponsible and emotional mentor, Feng Mei is no longer willing to think about him!

She was still young, and she had not yet had time to experience society, just like this prairie landscape, which she had never experienced before. There must be many, many such scenery and experiences on the road of life, maybe even more exciting, there is no need to give up the whole world for a painful experience and a fruitless emotion!

Thinking about the behavior of throwing herself into the lake the day before yesterday, Feng Mei regretted it very much, it was completely an escape from the weak, ignoring her dreams, ignoring the strong family affection of her parents, and ignoring more beautiful things. The meaning of life is that it can allow itself to obtain these values, and there is no reason or right for you to give it up!

Now Feng Mei has realized her narrow-mindedness, she wants to go back to school, face everything bravely, and start her new life again!
