Chapter 208, Live for Yourself
When someone reached out to him, his empty heart seemed to want to seek more.
So, here he came!
Liu Wan stood by the fire, the warm color refracted by the warm charcoal fire reflected on her, and her gentle face made people unable to take their eyes off it for a while.
He wanted to get closer to see if Liu Wan was as warm as he saw in his eyes.
But the etiquette law restrained him, he raised his foot and only dared to take a small step!
"Panchun! Bring a piece of cake! Liu Wan turned her head and ordered.
After thinking about it, Panchun took a piece of his own big hat and put it on Xie Jinqian.
Then he moved the stove towards him, poured him a cup of hot tea, and sat him down.
Liu Wan pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "You said that you are in pain, have you ever thought about where your pain comes from?" ”
"Is it because you put all your effort into the work of others and you don't get good results yourself?" Liu Wan asked.
Xie Jinqian was silent, holding the hot teacup tightly with one hand, and the young man's eyes were full of hope.
"Isn't it?" He said.
"Of course not!" Liu Wan vetoed him and continued to say gently, "People's pain is not to pay for others, but to put themselves in embarrassment. ”
"It's that you don't understand the meaning of giving, the things in the world, first for yourself and then for others!"
"You do what others want, but who in the world will do what you want?"
"You work hard for others every day, and others will not appreciate it, but if you give yourself half of what you do, will you be willing to accept your own affection?"
Xie Jinqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he replied, "Of course! ”
"Since you do things for others, everything is not as you wish, it is better to do everything for yourself, so you will not feel lost in the future!"
Liu Wan smiled softly at him.
It was snowing heavily, but the light from the window that could be opened was all sprinkled on her.
Xie Jinqian suddenly stopped crying, he only had his sister-in-law in his eyes.
Such a dignified and gentle man, and an erudite talent, were different from the women he had seen.
"I understand my sister-in-law! I can work hard for myself, but I can't break free from the shackles of working hard for others, what should I do? ”
Xie Jinqian asked.
Xu is question stumped Liu Wan, Liu Wan looked out the window, thought for a while, and said, "You can't get the approval of others, Xu is because you are working too hard." ”
"You work hard for others every day, but others are accustomed to your contributions, so they naturally won't cherish or value you."
"But if you do it for yourself every day, once in a while, others will be flattered, even if the results you give are not the best, but you can also win the hearts of others!"
"It's thankless, and it's not hard to please."
People are like this, the more things you can't get, the more you cherish them.
After speaking, Liu Wan turned around and went to the bookshelf and found a book for him.
Xie Jinqian looked down and saw that it was an excerpt from the Tao Te Ching, and the handwriting on the book cover was beautiful, and at first glance, he knew that it was written by Liu Wan.
He turned the page, and it was chapter thirty-eight,
"He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is clear; The victor is strong, and the self-victor is strong."
"This sentence is to improve one's self-cultivation, self-improvement, and self-knowledge, and live for oneself!" Xie Jinqian pointed and said, at this moment, there was a brilliance in his eyes.
Yes, all his pain is for others, and he doesn't get what he wants.
If he worked hard for what he wanted, would his life be different?
The pain that had puzzled him for more than ten years suddenly became clear at this moment.
Looking at the girl in front of him, who was only two years older than himself, he had hope of living again.
My sister-in-law is erudite, how can there be a man in the world who is as good as her?
"Just understand, don't look for short-sightedness in the future, it's not worth it for others!" Liu Wan stood up and smiled.
"Okay."
Xie Jinqian took a sip, but his eyes noticed the shoes under Liu Wan's feet.
The lake was muddy, the shoes were stained, and what was even more surprising was that the scratches on the edges of the upper must have been scratched by thorns or grass.
"Sister-in-law, your shoes!" He had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure.
Panchun heard that he hurriedly squatted down to check, "Oh, it must have been scraped by the grass on the shore when I saved the second master, this is what your aunt gave you!" ”
"I don't know if there's a way to remedy it!"
But in this way, the fabric and embroidery are cut, and even if they are remedied, they will not be as good as new.
A touch of loss flashed in Liu Wan's eyes, she deliberately wore her favorite shoes and clothes today in order not to worry her mother.
I didn't expect to encounter such an accident.
"Sister-in-law, since it's to save me, can I give you a pair?"
Xie Jinqian stood up, he was about the same height as Liu Wan, but his eyes were as clear as a child, full of expectation.
Liu Wan shook her head, "This is not polite." ”
If the shoes are broken, they will be broken, and the things that should be lost will not be retained.
Xie Jinqian bowed his head in frustration, and he asked again, "Then can I come to you often in the future?" ”
He still has a lot of confusion about life, and no one has ever told him this.
Everyone was asking him to work hard for the Xie family, but his sister-in-law told him that he should live for himself.
Liu Wan also shook her head, "When you are confused, reading can solve the confusion of the road ahead, as long as you can do it, it is in line with your heart." ”
Xie Jinqian knew that Liu Wan rejected him.
A look of loss crossed his eyes, "Thank you, sister-in-law!" ”
When he turned around to leave, he only heard Liu Wan whispering behind him, "What you want is what you see!" ”
His eyes welled up with tears.
Xie Jinqian felt a moistness in the corners of his eyes, and he woke up from his sleep, sat down on the couch, and pressed his face against Liu Wan's torn shoes six years ago.
He got up, opened his eyes, and wiped away his tears.
He muttered, "I can't get my sister-in-law's shoes dirty anymore." ”
He didn't want to repair the original traces.
Because this is evidence that his sister-in-law cared about him!
At that time, Xu is sister-in-law was sad because she didn't want to see things, so she asked Panchun to take the shoes and bury them.
He didn't tell anyone, he ran in the middle of the night and secretly dug it back, carefully washed it, and treasured it.
Now, the person he has treasured in his heart for six years is engaged to someone else.
He gave birth to a gloomy and twisted thought.
Liu Wan, if she had always been his sister-in-law, how good it would be!
The wrench in his hand glowed faintly, and he narrowed his eyes with a feverish smile.
He can't sit still!
