"So...... Are you afraid that you won't be able to read it yourself? I asked.

"I can't say." Aries shook his head, "People are inert, so they can only be regarded as taking precautions." If I don't finish a book in a day, I feel like I owe something, and my anxiety is even greater, and this anxiety forces me to complete my tasks every day. ”

"Okay." I nodded, feeling that I still couldn't keep up with the Aries train of thought.

But it also happened to be this coincidence, and I became acquainted with Aries.

Getting acquainted with Aries is relying on "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages", and getting acquainted with Jiang Ruoxue is relying on "leg hair", this kind of social skill will not be written in any book. It seems that the fate between people is more mysterious than what is written in the book.

It's hard to describe the feeling of acquaintance between me and Aries, like a reunion after a long absence, and like a new acquaintance.

I'm reacquainting myself with someone I've been thinking about every day for five years, and it's a bit abstract indeed.

From then on, I went to see the Aries every morning and continued to recruit strong people in the afternoon, which lasted for about a month.

Aries reads books faster than I expected, and he can even finish a theoretical book in an afternoon.

And he also began to have requirements for the content of the books, he only needed books on economics, management, political science, game theory, etc., and I tried to bring him some books on psychology, but he didn't seem to be interested.

On this day, I went to the bookstore again to get him a book, but suddenly I noticed that the place had changed.

A male snake has taken over the area and used the bookstore as his "playground".

It's a bit outrageous, and the bookstore, which has always been unclaimed, has suddenly become a playground...... In that case, how else can I go and get books for Aries?

I tried to go up and explain my purpose to the white-flowered earth snake, who took my hand and warmly pulled me into the house.

He told me that everything was easy to discuss, but I also needed to help him with something.

I watched him quietly, and I always felt that in addition to Aries, a second strange "zodiac" appeared.

He seems to ...... It's a bit of a mother.

The white snake told me that as long as I joined his "grief club", I could take books from here in the name of "borrowing" in the future, and I could choose any book, but I needed to borrow and return it one by one.

But the problem is that all the books I gave to Aries were brought back to his residence, so how could I borrow and return them with the White Flower Snake?

Maybe we should explain the situation to Aries...... Let him give me back the book he finished every day?

I was thinking about the feasibility of this condition, but suddenly I felt a little sad.

What the hell am I doing......?

To be honest, Aries didn't promise me anything, nor did he give me any advantage, he said that he had "guaranteed my safety", but who can prove it......?

Maybe I've been silly doing things for Aries for all these years, but he hasn't done anything.

Now I'm going to join this organization that I don't know what to do for the sake of Aries, so as to make deals with other "zodiac signs"?

The thought that I had been doing useless work for so long made my eyes quickly lose sight.

"stinky girl." The White Flower Snake looked at me and said, "What's going on?" Why is it so sad all of a sudden? ”

"I ...... I don't know......" I shook my head, "but I suddenly remembered something bad." ”

"That's okay!" The white snake said, "I established this "grief club" to help everyone get out of their grief! ”

"Out of grief?" I was puzzled and said, "You mean this "grief meeting" is to help people get out of grief? ”

God, when I heard the name, I thought it was helping people create sadness.

"What is the form?" I asked again.

"Uh...... I haven't thought about it yet...... I opened my business today, and I came up with an idea for the time being...... I guess it's just everyone sitting together and talking about their sad stories with each other, right? ”

I never thought that the "zodiac" would be so casual......

"Just let's sit around and tell each other our sad stories?"

"yes, isn't that good? All you need is to talk! The more sad people there are, the more people you have to talk to, stinky girl! "How can anyone here be willing to set up a support agency for the grieving?" It's just me! ”

"But that's the wrong idea." I sighed deeply and stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to hear other people's sad stories. Once "sadness" is shared, everyone can only gain two pieces of sadness. ”

"Hiss......" White Snake slowly frowned, "How do I feel that the way you speak, where have I heard it?" ”

I ignored him, only feeling that the faint sadness just now had eased a little, so I asked again, "White Snake...... What is the motivation for each of us to escape here? Why do these people want to live so much? ”

"...... motive?" The white snake reached out and touched the top of his head, and actually showed a sad expression.

I thought that he would continue to be unserious, but I didn't expect him to sigh deeply and say, "I...... I don't know about others, but I'm for my love. ”

"...... lover?" I was stunned.

"Yes, he is still waiting for me at home. He has suffered for me, and he has suffered for me, which is all I have in this life. White Snake said with a frown.

I stared at the white snake for a long time, he was a "stinky girl", which always made people feel that there was an age difference between him and me, but the appearance of the snakeskin made me unable to see his age, it turned out that he was already a married man?

Yes, this is inexplicably reasonable.

When you can't find the motivation to live for yourself, you can live for someone else.

It's just that Aries still looks young...... Will he have a wife?

The White Snake stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said, "As long as you can escape from this hellish place...... I won't back down even if I'm scarred, that's my motivation. ”

"I see......," I nodded at him, "you've given me a really good idea." ”

When he saw that I was leaving, he was inexplicably reluctant: "Are you leaving?" You're my first guest...... If you don't join the "Grief Club", should you consider making a game? The chance of dying is high, it's exciting! ”

"I'm not involved in the game, I want to make sure at the end...... If I don't join your "grief club", can I borrow books every day? I promise you to borrow one and repay one every day from the next day. I walked to the door and turned back to say, "If I meet other people, I'll try to ask them if they want to join your 'Grief Club', it's the only chip I can draw." ”

"This ......," White Snake shook his head after hearing this, "No...... The only items I have in my game are these books, and if everyone agrees unconditionally to borrow them, I'll be the first to foul them. ”

"Okay." I nodded in understanding, "In that case, then we'll meet again." ”

I took two steps and then came back and said, "By the way, let's change the name." ”

"What?"

"I mean your 'grief'." I shook my head helplessly, "We have organized similar activities in our school, but they don't call it a "grief club", but a "mutual aid club". ”

"Huh?" White Snake blinked, "Mutual Aid Society?" ”

"The name at least sounds like 'mutual aid,' and your name is a little scary." I waved at him and left the bookstore.
