Chapter 114 Friends and Foes
Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun walked out of the library together. The light at noon was bright and distant, and the sky in June was refreshing and clear. The two of them walked towards Baihua Lake together, keeping a close distance.
It's a pity that the scene in front of me is not harmonious, because Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun are quite incompatible together. Logically speaking, Xie Minyun, who is 172, is as tall as Cheng Mo, but girls are usually taller, especially those with Xie Minyun's golden ratio.
His figure makes him appear taller, so from a visual perspective, Xie Minyun seems to be much taller than Cheng Mo.
Not only do the heights seem to be different, but the gap in appearance is also not small. Cheng Mo is too ordinary and thin. He wears black-rimmed glasses and doesn’t pay attention to his hairstyle. He is someone who would be thrown into a sea of people and no one would take a second look.
Role.
As for Xie Minyun, there is nothing about her body that is not eye-catching. Whether it is her fair and slender legs, her slender waist, the turbulent waves on her chest or her flawless face, these are all things that make people wonder for a moment.
Distracted sophistication.
Even though Cheng Mo was very careful to be half a body behind Xie Minyun, the boys and girls along the way were pointing at Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun, their expressions were like seeing some monster that has become extinct on the earth. You know
Xie Minyun has always been a loner, and no one has ever been able to get close to him. Even the dazzling Du Leng has never had the opportunity to walk side by side with Xie Minyun.
However, today Xie Minyun actually walked with an inconspicuous boy. What is going on?
As the two people got closer and closer to Baihua Lake, where lovers gather together, people were even more stunned. It was incredible! You must know that Baihua Lake is a recognized holy place for dog abuse in Changya, because men and women are prohibited from feeding in the canteen, so what if they were caught?
They have to deduct some academic points, so some young lovers will either go to eat outside the school, or they will come to the Baihua Lake with meals brought from the cafeteria or snacks from the canteen...
As Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun really entered the Baihua Lake area, they finally detonated a wave of earthquakes in Changya. This was even more unacceptable than "walking side by side".
At this moment, some boys were already howling in reluctance.
As a gossip insulator, Cheng Mo, who is on the edge of campus life, really doesn’t know what Baihua Lake is. Although Xie Minyun knows that Baihua Lake is a place where lovers often come, she can’t think of any place more suitable than Baihua Lake for a while.
She discussed the problem with Cheng Mo and casually decided to come here. She never expected that this matter would cause a sensation.
Completely unaware that they were already at the center of a public storm, the two people strolled along the cobblestoned footpath beside Baihua Lake. On both sides were tender green emerald-like grasslands. Willows hung low on the shore not far away. Occasionally, there were shadows on the mirror-like lake surface.
The koi fish spit out bubbles and then create a small circle of ripples. Pearl-like water droplets roll in the center of each round lotus leaf. One after another, lovers are whispering quietly on the vermilion benches...
Xie Minyun looked at a girl feeding panda-shaped sushi to the boy next to her and said: "I thought about it when I went back that day. It seems that you have a special obsession with money. I don't understand. People don't live to make money, but to make money."
It is to experience the world. Making money is just a basis for experiencing the world and a tool to realize the value of life. You should be able to leave more traces of yourself in this world instead of simply living a comfortable life.
Until you die of old age, isn't this too negative?"
Cheng Mo followed Xie Minyun's line of sight and saw the scene of dog abuse, but he could not feel the shock. Being single was the supreme golden body for Cheng Mo. He quickly withdrew his gaze, looked at the road under his feet and said:
"I have never quite understood a poem, that is, 'After death, I know that everything is in vain, but the sorrow is not the same as in all nine states.' Since I know that everything is in vain after death, why do I still have those obsessions that I can't let go and are impossible to let go of?"
After a slight pause, Cheng Mo changed the topic and said: "Du Leng said give me an IPHONEX and let me go to the party. I said you can convert it into 8,000 yuan for me. In the eyes of some people, this is not only greedy but also greedy."
Silly, after all, you can’t buy 256GB for 8,000 yuan..."
"But for me, buying an IPHONEX for 8,000 yuan is not worth it at all. I may not be able to sell it for 8,000 yuan if I resell it. I would rather spend the money on buying a comfortable computer chair and an expensive mattress."
, or a pair of headphones that can bring me pleasure.... Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Everyone has different hobbies and consumption ideas. People who like IPHONE and are not short of money,
Of course I don’t think spending eight thousand is extravagant and wasteful, but in my case it’s a bit wasteful..."
"This is just a consumption concept. There is no right or wrong. What does it have to do with your obsession with money?" Although Xie Minyun knew that there was more to come, she still asked gently like a compliment. She wanted to think urgently.
To know the answer, any "obsession" is a weakness. She wanted to know Cheng Mo's weakness.
Of course Cheng Mo understood Xie Minyun's thoughts, but he still said indifferently: "In fact, people always swing between extremes, because if they don't have money, they will easily become money-worshipping; if they have some money, they will start clamoring not to be materialistic.
Slaves; if you are really rich, you will become a slave to the idea of 'not a slave to material things'..."
“Of course I understand that money is a collection of all materials, and the purpose of our consumption is to enjoy happiness and happiness, or else we should stay away from unhappiness by controlling our desires as Epicurus, the founder of hedonism (Note 1) said.
....”
Cheng Mo glanced at Xie Minyun, and then asked rather playfully: "Do you think you can live a happy life without money? Without your luxury car, your luxurious clothes, and your aura of wealth and beauty."
Just as Xie Minyun was about to answer, Cheng Mo jumped in front of her and said: "Don't answer me until you have tried it... But I can tell you, I think I did it. I don't have any desire for material things.
When I receive a large amount of money, I feel no pleasure at all, let alone the urge to squander it..."
"But the moment I made my first considerable sum of money in my life, I understood one thing. I used to think that power was an illusion. Now I understand that it is also a matter of people gaining control over their own lives.
A kind of right..." In fact, Cheng Mo's feeling is not entirely the experience brought to him by "making money", but also the absolute freedom provided by the carrier that is superior to ordinary people.
"This right is more precious than any other right...and the quickest way to obtain this right is to have money...The difference between me and most people is that I always have a sense of crisis, because you
I think there is still a lot of time and life is still very long, but I feel that ten thousand years is too long.
Seize the day... not to mention that in this life, one must have some obsessions. Good obsessions can become obsessions, and bad ones may be called obsessions... But what will be the outcome? I think
Only I can evaluate myself, others are probably not qualified to evaluate me..."
There is no doubt that having money means you have more freedom and power than others, but Xie Minyun does not feel that she is as unbearable as Cheng Mo said. She can also transcend material constraints, and she can also control her desires.
So she turned to look at Cheng Mo and said expressionlessly: "I don't think it's difficult to control desires. I can still live an ordinary life... And don't be so conceited and say that others are not qualified.
Evaluate you! There is always someone in this world who can evaluate you..."
"For example, I..." Xie Minyun stood on one side of the ribbon-like cobblestone road. The road was a little tilted, making her feel condescending. Against the backdrop of Cheng Mo, Xie Minyun looked taller and taller, taller than the willows leaning on the side.
To be graceful and graceful.
Cheng Mo said "Oh" and then said: "Then come on..."

The highest good. However, we should distinguish different pleasures, relieve the fear of gods and death, restrain our desires, stay away from political affairs, carefully measure and choose happy and painful things, and achieve physical health and mental peace. This is the real
