Chapter 874: The End of the Peak
Aries stared at me and Jiang Ruoxue for a long time.
His eyes gradually changed from defenselessness to cold again.
After about a minute, he seemed to remember who I was, then turned his head to look at Jiang Ruoxue again, then nodded, and muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately." ”
The sound came from the mask slightly, and I didn't even know if I had misheard.
Without waiting for Jiang Ruoxue to speak, Bai Yang stared at her again and asked, "What did you just say?" ”
"...... me?" Jiang Ruoxue blinked, "I said I thought you wouldn't go to work." ”
"...... to work," Aries smiled bitterly, "what to say 'go to work' sounds too bitter." I come and go here every day, and it's no different from my home. ”
"Oh?" Jiang Ruoxue nodded, "Then I'll say it again, it turns out that the white sheep is at home, and no one answered after calling for a long time, I thought I wasn't at home." ”
I really admire Jiang Ruoxue.
Although it was the first time she had met Aries, she was able to talk and laugh with him naturally, and it took me months to say a few more words to someone like Aries.
"Interesting." Aries nodded, "It's rare for someone like you to have nothing to say. ”
"Really?" Jiang Ruoxue shrugged her shoulders, "It's rare for someone like you to stand in place in a daze." ”
Aries didn't seem to be ready to continue the conversation along Jiang Ruoxue's topic, but just turned his head and looked at me again: "Is there something wrong?" Why did you come to me in the afternoon? ”
"I ......" I don't know how to answer, do I have to say, "I brought Jiang Ruoxue to help you reexplain what love is"?
"Hey! Aries! Jiang Ruoxue directly reached out and patted Bai Yang's shoulder, "I'm here to teach you skills!" ”
"Teach me that?" Aries was slightly stunned.
"How?" Jiang Ruoxue smiled, "Don't I look like I can teach you?" ”
"Not really." Aries replied, "It's just that very few people have spoken to me like that, and it sounds a bit novel. ”
"I'm not the same as Zhichun." Jiang Ruoxue clasped her hands to her chest, "As long as there is one thing that I am better than you, then I am willing to teach you humbly." ”
"It depends on whether I'm willing to learn with an open mind." Aries said, "What are you capable of?" ”
Jiang Ruoxue laughed evilly, looked at Aries and asked, "Have you ever been in love?" ”
"I ......," Aries was slightly stunned, "what does this have to do with you?" ”
"Zhichun told you about what "love" is before, and I'm afraid she will be too one-sided, so I want to add two more sentences to you."
After being silent for a few seconds, Bai Aries said with an unusually cold look in his eyes: "There is no need for it. ”
"Don't need it......?" Jiang Ruoxue's face also sank, "......Am I late?" ”
"Late?" The white sheep's eyes were no longer cold, but looked at Jiang Ruoxue from top to bottom, as if thinking of something, "I didn't see that you are also a smart person." ”
"I'm not a smart person, I'm just a casual person." Jiang Ruoxue smiled, "Are you sure you don't need help?" The love that Zhichun described to you is probably too perfect...... That kind of thing doesn't exist in reality......"
"Oh?"
Jiang Ruoxue paused, and then said: "Two people who are really together will not have everything smooth after a long time, you may have friction because of various small things, such as who washes the dishes after eating, for example, what time should you go to bed at night, and even whoever sleeps on the left and who rushes to the right may have different understandings, and you will even quarrel and break up because of these little things......
"It doesn't matter." Aries interrupted.
"What?"
"I said it doesn't matter." Aries repeated, "You can remember all these bad things, it's all the 'peak effect' that is at work. ”
"...... the "peak-end effect"?" Jiang Ruoxue looked back at me.
I hastened to explain: "This is to say that people can usually only remember the emotional state at the peak and the emotional state at the end of an event. If both states are pleasurable, one will perceive the whole process as pleasurable. ”
"I don't understand the theory." Jiang Ruoxue said, "For example. ”
"A lot of stores use this principle." I explained, "For example, if you go shopping for a piece of clothing, the shopping guide will subconsciously praise you for "really good figure", "really white skin", etc., and then tell you that there is a discount or give you a discount when you pay the bill, so that the beginning and the end are pleasant, and you will think that the whole shopping process is pleasant." You will also subconsciously ignore many negative emotions such as "there are a lot of people in the store", "the distance is long", "the quality of the clothes is not particularly good", "the clothes have a few threads", etc., and you will be willing to tell others "this is a good store". This is the actual manifestation of the "peak-end effect". ”
"It's good to have a translator." After Jiang Ruoxue finished speaking, she looked at Aries again, "I understand the 'Peak Terminal Effect', but what do I have to do with the 'Peak Terminal Effect'?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken...... "You can remember these quarrels because you broke up." ”
"What......" Jiang Ruoxue was slightly stunned.
"Because both the peak and the end are unhappy." "That's why you think that 'love is imperfect.'" ”
"Alas......" Jiang Ruoxue shook her head helplessly after hearing this, "I only know that if I like it, I will be together, and when I am tired, I will turn around and leave, it is really hard to chat with you smart people......"
"Without much effort, I can reproduce "love" with theory and knowledge. Although I don't understand love, I can also use the "peak-end effect" to simulate real love, as long as the relationship does not break up, I will always remember positive memories and will always think that the other person is perfect. ”
Jiang Ruoxue was completely speechless after hearing this.
After listening to the conversation between Aries and Jiang Ruoxue, I can probably guess what Aries wants to do.
It's just that this conclusion is so ridiculous that I find it hard to believe.
Is Aries going to create a ridiculous, immaculate, perfect relationship in his inner world?
"White Aries ......" Jiang Ruoxue took a deep breath and said again, "You may not know, the place where I was born is far away, and it is not easy to come to you, are you sure that there is nothing you need my help with?" ”
"Why do you have to help me?" Aries asked.
"This is my 'cause and effect'." Jiang Ruoxue replied, "Because I attach great importance to Zhichun, and she attaches importance to you, her "cause and effect" has become my "cause and effect". ”
"Interesting." Aries nodded, "If that's the case, I do need your help." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Ruoxue raised her eyebrows, "You say come and listen." ”
The white sheep slowly took a step closer to Jiang Ruoxue, as if he wanted to whisper to her.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruoxue stretched out her hand and pushed Bai Yang, stopping him from approaching, and then asked with a displeased face, "Is there anything that Zhichun can't listen to?" ”
Aries glanced at me, then shook his head: "I'm not afraid that Yan Zhichun will hear it, but I'm afraid of other people." ”
