Chapter 25: Plato
"Mirror in the Water" is a novel by Mo Ren, as a classmate, Lin Mu didn't expect his writing to be so beautiful.
"Mirror in the Water" tells the story of two sisters who finally make a deal for each other in love in order to fulfill each other.
The appearance of comedy and the core of tragedy are a bit like Zhang Ailing's "Love in a Fallen City". My sister's name is Shui, and my sister's name is Jing.
The man they fell in love with was called Zhong. Lin Mu originally thought that this was a play on words, but he later figured out that men and women are soul-connected, but due to the influence of the environment and the outside world, they are forced to become slaves of gender.
However, Lin Mu didn't have much time to think about it now. He was still thinking about the box that Lao Lin was talking about before he died.
Is that box really the original copy of "Seventy-two Immortal Scrolls"? What other secrets are inside? With the death of Lao Lin and the disappearance of the box, all this has become a mystery.
Zheng Qimin invited Lin Mu to participate in an outing organized by the Literature Society, where a dozen young people camped in the mountains with bags on their backs, lit a bonfire in the evening, and then encouraged each other, sang and recited together, and then danced around the fire.
Zheng Qimin saw that Lin Mu had been sullen, so he teased him and said, is it because Mo Ren is also here?
Girls' minds are always more sensitive than boys of the same age, but where did Zheng Qimin know what happened to Lin Mu, and where did he know that Lin Mu's outlook on life and worldview had been greatly impacted in just a few days?
In order not to let Zheng Qimin see it, Lin Mu pretended to be angry and snorted. Zheng Qimin exhaled in his ear, and the hot warmth of the girl made Lin Mu have a strong urge.
But whenever he thinks of Lao Lin, his mother, and what his grandfather said, Lin Mu has to suppress his desires, and he now kind of admits that compared to himself, sometimes engaging in greater contributions to the collective is the sublimation of the individual, especially the kind of very, very large collective.
However, he never considered himself a descendant of some royal family, and scoffed at this kind of child-deceiving thing, and he had read similar mystery novels, in which some villains instilled a so-called concept of honor or fame in order to take advantage of young people, and then sent them to death.
Lin Mu thought to himself, don't use this old-fashioned routine. It's the twenty-first century.
But Lin Mu also observed from the side that Mo Ren's eyes were burning with love for Zheng Qimin. Does he really love this girl who accidentally broke into his life?
Or is it a disguise pushed to dispel loneliness? Maybe Lin Mu himself didn't know. Like those unpredictable and uncontrollable nightmares a few days ago, Lin Mu didn't know what the future of himself and Zheng Qimin was.
Thinking of this, he decided not to have a further relationship with Zheng Qimin no matter what. At most, it's platonic love, he thought.
To be honest, Lin Mu still secretly read Zheng Qimin's feelings after reading it a few times in private, and he was a little angry in his heart, young men are always very possessive of love.
But from these words, Lin Mu clearly felt that Zheng Qimin was innocent and pure. The girl's heart involuntarily leaks out from the tip of the pen, and when this mood is attached to the soul of a person of the opposite sex because of the environment, it is difficult not to be moved.
But Lin Mu couldn't help it. He couldn't forget what happened to Lao Lin and himself in Daizong Mountain, and it was hard to forget that poor Liu Rong.
Therefore, Lin Mu didn't think that he had to show Mo Ren something in this. Only a tiger would swear his territory, and Lin Mu felt that he was a college student, not a beast in a zoo.
