Chapter 194 Living Itself

Early October, Iceland.

There were pigeons parked everywhere in the square. Someone sprinkled a handful of bread crumbs, which attracted a group of pigeons nearby to grab them. One of them was fat and fat. He took a step slower and the bread crumbs were empty. He looked around, spread his wings, and headed towards

The woman who had just spread the bread crumbs was fluttering in her hands.

"Look at it moving so slowly, you don't know why it's so fat."

Saying this, the woman sitting on the bench broke the bread into pieces and threw it in front of the pigeons.

"Well, you are fed fat like this. This is called a coquettish pigeon that has the best life."

Jin Ling held up her face and looked at the woman beside her, smiling and joking.

"Gu~"

The pigeon that had finished eating the bread crumbs gave a coincidental cry.

Zhang Yunyun broke off most of the bread in her hand, chuckled, and reached out to touch the pigeon's feathers to earn some face back. However, the pigeon spread its wings and flew away quickly.

"Hey!" Zhang Yunyun raised her head. The white pigeon had a round belly. She felt funny in her heart. "They treat me as a tool."

Jin Ling smiled and said, "I guess I'm afraid you'll put it in a cage."

"What do I do with it?"

Zhang Yunyun replied subconsciously, but after finishing speaking, she suddenly fell silent.

A fish that jumps from a fish tank into the ocean will never come back to the fish tank again.

Zhang Yunyun sighed softly: "I was the one who promised to leave freely, but it was you who just left."

Jin Ling always sees things more clearly than she does.

"Looking back now," Jin Ling squinted her eyes comfortably under the warm sunshine, "I really don't understand why I couldn't get out and couldn't see clearly."

"Yeah, I think it's ridiculous too." Zhang Yunyun lowered her head and wiped off the crumbs on her palms with paper, "There is a saying that goes like this: There is nothing wrong in the world, it's up to people to disturb themselves."

Jin Ling closed her eyes and leaned her head back on the chair: "You and I are both common people. We suffer from the eight hardships of life: not being able to ask for anything, love and separation, resentment and hatred, birth, old age, illness and death. If we can see through it, then we are not far away from becoming a monk."

Zhang Yunyun slowly raised her head. People were coming and going in the square. Some looked in a hurry, some looked aimless. There were also fashionable men and women standing in a group, becoming the focus of attention.

She said softly: "Actually, I don't understand now what people are living for."

“From the time I was born, everything was arranged: learning to walk, learning to speak, going to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school and university.

Start working after graduation, and then fall in love or go on a blind date while working. Anyway, in the end, you will go to the only way, get married and have children.

After giving birth to one child, I will encourage my second child, use the knowledge I have learned to lead my child to explore the world, and when the child grows up, I will look forward to having grandchildren..."

"It's boring, but also very busy. I'm always on the road, and the end is the grave. Only when I die can I have a good rest."

Zhang Yunyun was extremely puzzled: "If that's the case, wouldn't robots do it better and worry less than us? Or, what's the difference between us and robots? It's like a piece of written code implanted in the body.

Exactly the same, but ultimately the same.”

Jin Ling opened her eyes, turned her head, and stared at Zhang Yunyun with strange eyes.

Zhang Yunyun’s head was filled with questions: “What’s wrong?”

"You are thinking about the meaning of life." Jin Ling said firmly.

Zhang Yunyun nodded: "Yes, I have read a best-selling book, which says that people live by themselves, but what is living by themselves?

Everyone will have a hope and a thought. If you put these things into your life, life will not be empty. But I don’t have these things now, and I don’t understand what life itself is.”

Jin Ling asked: "After the fire set the villa on fire, why did you change your mind and choose to survive?"

"Because it's not worth it." Jin Ling replied without hesitation, "When I saw those things, I felt ridiculous. Everything was meaningless. Life or death made no difference to me.

But after the fire started, standing in the flames, I suddenly felt ridiculous."

"You know, it's that kind of..." Zhang Yunyun sat upright and gestured with her hands to organize her words, "Since there is no difference between life and death to me, then why should I stand there and let the fire swallow me up?

It was very baffling, and then I found that my brain had deceived me, and I should have wanted to live.

Because of that sense of absurdity, it made me feel that even if I died, it would be meaningless.

So I opened the door and ran out."

After hearing this, Jin Ling asked: "You feel that life is meaningless now, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Yunyun nodded, "It's very boring."

"Should I see a psychiatrist? I suspect I have depression." Zhang Yunyun frowned with a serious look on her face.

Jin Ling smiled and shook her head: "You swipe your cards like crazy to shop, go bungee jumping with me, do whatever you want, and the rest of your life will give you an unreal feeling of floating in the clouds.

You look down at the hustle and bustle of people on the ground and feel that you don't fit in and don't understand, so you want to stimulate yourself, but you still don't feel anything.

But I am sure that you are definitely not suffering from depression."

"So, Yunyun, it's time for us to go back." Jin Ling stood up, patted the folds of her clothes, stretched out her hand towards Zhang Yunyun, and said with a smile, "I believe you will soon understand what life itself is."

Zhang Yunyun was stunned, Jin Ling was holding the light behind her, and the warm sunshine was hitting her whole body, and her facial contours were also sprinkled with a layer of light. Her quiet and peaceful temperament made people feel at peace.

Zhang Yunyun felt unreal.

She put her hand on her and stood up with strength, and the two of them walked back arm in arm.

However, you can see from a distance that Zhang Yunyun is walking with a slight limp.

She did not pay the price for escaping from the fire. Her right ankle was hit with blood by the falling crystal lamp. She gritted her teeth and crawled out of the villa.

Medical treatment was advanced, but it could only recover 80%, but Zhang Yunyun didn't care, she was feeling a little better, so she went skydiving with Jin Ling wearing a plaster.

On the way back, Zhang Yunyun turned around and said, "I never thought I would become good friends with you."

In the past, no matter how good the conversation was on the surface, she secretly despised Jin Ling at all. But after that, she told Jin Ling about her situation, and Jin Ling decisively took her to Iceland to recuperate.

"Everything in the world is fickle." Jin Ling raised her lips, "If you want to apologize for your previous stupidity and arrogance, I forgive you, but I'm afraid Miss Chu will have to make some excuses."

"You are really..." Zhang Yunyun laughed dumbly, and then felt sad in her heart.

When she thought about how ignorant she was back then, she now wanted to turn back time.

The only person she dared not face after returning to China was Chu Hanxing.

Because she was so stupid at the time.

Zhang Yunyun can't think of any other word to describe blaming the misfortune of her own life on the people who helped her except stupidity.

Could it be that being kept in the dark and living in a programmed dream is the so-called normal life?
