Chapter 803: Chapter 645: I’ve Never Seen Anyone So Shameless (3)
"Much warmer." Shi Wangyue had already increased the heating in the car as soon as Li Qing got in, so she immediately felt the warmth as soon as she climbed in.
Only now did she have the mind to greet Shi Wangyue, who had been quietly driving in the front, "So late, troubling our handsome guy."
Shi Wangyue said calmly, "No trouble."
Turning her head, Li Qing asked Ning Youguang, "Everything’s already the best arrangement, right?"
"It is." Ning Youguang nodded.
Li Qing leaned back against the seat and sighed lightly, saying, "I used to always think social customs were too superficial. Now, it seems it’s me who doesn’t understand the way of dealing with people using human thinking."
"You must view human nature with dialectical and skeptical thinking," Ning Youguang said.
"Yes, I won’t shake the fundamental me, it’s just when dealing with people, I’m considering whether I should make a change," Li Qing thought aloud.
Ning Youguang looked at Li Qing tenderly and slowly said, "Many people naturally understand how to read others’ minds. They call themselves smart. In the eyes of smart people, those who don’t understand reading minds and don’t know how to twist words are fools. But I don’t agree. I think simpler, more straightforward people are wiser. Teachers also said, ’Honest heart is the way.’
"I remember you telling me this before." Li Qing pulled a rather forced smile, "You said language and the brain can deceive. Many people don’t even know their own words are false and insincere because their brain reacts too quickly."
Ning Youguang nodded, "That’s also why there are few heart-to-heart people in this world."
"You’re right." Li Qing sighed deeply, "I used to be very easily convinced by others, but now I find that I can’t just listen to the surface of what people say. I need to carefully ponder the hidden or veiled thoughts behind others’ words. By doing so, can I better understand others’ minds? And better protect myself in the process of interacting with people?"
"Yes, we all need the ability to understand smart people, but we can choose not to be smart people." Ning Youguang said.
"Thank you, dear." Li Qing leaned back in the seat, tilting her head to look at Ning Youguang, her eyes slightly moist, "I’ve put my heart into it. Whether he has or not, I don’t know, but I have no regrets or remorse anymore. Maybe I’m very easy to get hurt, but also very easy to heal, this is the buff heaven gave me, my shield."
After a slight pause, she continued, "I now find that love either is or isn’t. There’s no ambiguity. It’s the people who are ambiguous, most can’t see their own hearts, like the monkey from ’A Chinese Odyssey.’
"It’s not just love, any relationship is like this. There are no unclear boundaries in this world. If you feel it’s unclear, someone is definitely hiding something. The real intentions and purposes are absolutely clear. It’s just that many people don’t express them. They don’t express because they’re afraid of being seen."
"Why are they afraid of being seen?"
"Because they have their ’ego’ within, which isn’t beneficial to themselves, and grants them a retreat."
"Yes, he said I don’t give myself a retreat." Li Qing instantly straightened up, "He said interacting with me is exhausting, hence the breakup. Before I was considering whether he was too busy, I kept clinging to him, making him feel tired. Now I realize it’s not the case at all. How could there be someone so out of tune with his own words? Couldn’t he just directly say he likes someone else? I’m not someone who can’t let go!"
"Many people are like this," Ning Youguang said, "This kind of person, whether speaking or acting, likes to hide a few things, neither good nor bad, just their survival mode. At any time they leave themselves a place, this mode could be an obstacle for true ’blessings.’ For some unfavorable relationships, it’s of course defense, a double-edged sword."
"I’m not afraid of being seen," Li Qing said frankly, "But I really hope to see myself, the vulnerable self, through him."
"How could you be vulnerable?" Ning Youguang said with astonishment and admiration, "Dear, you have no idea how brave you really are."
"I’m not vulnerable?" Li Qing asked, surprised.
"Of course not vulnerable. In love, you are honest and open, hiding nothing, this is bravery," Ning Youguang said, "Some people play human games for so long they turn into someone who likes using their brain to play with hearts. Seemingly smart, but actually foolish, because, in the end, they’re just playing with themselves." 1314
