Chapter 865 Everyone's Thoughts
"So... you're also afraid that you won't be able to read on?" I asked.
"I can't say." Aries shook his head. "Everyone is lazy, so I can only think of it as a rainy day. If I don't finish a book in a day, I will think that I "owe" something, and I will feel more anxious. This anxiety will force me to complete the task every day. "
"Okay." I nodded, feeling that I still can't keep up with Aries's thinking.
But it happened to be this chance that I became familiar with Aries.
To become familiar with Aries, I rely on "seeking benefits and avoiding harm", and to become familiar with Jiang Ruoxue, I rely on "leg hair". This kind of social skills will not be written in any book. It seems that the fate between people is more mysterious than what is written in the book.
The feeling of familiarity between Aries and I is difficult to describe, like a long-lost reunion, and like a new acquaintance.
I am getting to know someone again who I have thought of every day for five years. It is indeed a bit abstract.
From then on, I went to see Aries every morning and continued to recruit strong people in the afternoon, which lasted for about a month.
Aries reads books faster than I thought. He can even finish reading a theoretical book in an afternoon.
And he has begun to have requirements for the content of the books. He only needs books on economics, management, politics, and game theory. I once tried to bring him some psychology books, but he didn't seem to be interested.
That day I went to the bookstore to get him a book, but suddenly found that the place had changed.
A male ground snake occupied this place and used this bookstore as his "playground".
This is really a bit outrageous. The bookstore that has been unclaimed has suddenly become a playground... How can I get books for Aries in this way?
I tried to walk up to the white ground snake and explain my purpose. The other party held my hand and enthusiastically pulled me into the house.
He told me that everything can be discussed, but I also need to help him do something.
I looked at him quietly, and I always felt that in addition to Aries, a second strange "zodiac" appeared.
He seemed... a little effeminate.
The white snake told me that if I joined his "Sad Club", I could borrow books from here in the name of "borrowing". I could choose any book, but I had to return it one by one.
But the problem was that Aries took all the books I gave him back to his residence. How could I return them one by one to the white snake?
Maybe I should explain the situation to Aries... and ask him to return the books he had read every day?
I was thinking about the feasibility of this condition, but suddenly I felt a little sad.
What am I doing...?
To be honest, Aries didn't make any promises to me, nor did he give me any advantages. He said that he had "guaranteed my safety", but who can prove it...?
Maybe I have been doing things for Aries foolishly for so many years, but he didn't do anything.
Now I have to join this organization that I don't know what it does for Aries, and make deals with other "zodiac signs"?
When I thought about how I had been doing useless work for so long, my eyes quickly became lost.
"Damn you little bitch." The white snake looked at me and said, "What's going on? Why are you so sad all of a sudden?"
"I... I don't know..." I shook my head, "I just suddenly remembered some bad things."
"That's okay!" The white snake said, "I set up this "Sadness Club" to help everyone get out of sadness!"
"Get out of sadness?" I asked in confusion, "Do you mean this "Sadness Club" is to help people get out of sadness?"
God, I thought it was to help people create sadness when I heard the name.
"What is the specific form?" I asked again.
"Uh... I haven't thought about it carefully... I'm opening a grand opening today, and this idea came up on the spur of the moment... I guess it's just that everyone sits together and talks about their sad stories, right? ”
I never thought that the "Zodiac" would be so casual...
"Just let us sit together and tell each other our sad stories?"
"Yes, isn't that good? What you need is to talk! The more sad people here, the more people you can talk to, you little girl!" White Snake said again, "How could anyone here be willing to set up a support organization for the sad? I'm the only one!"
"But this is a wrong idea." I sighed deeply and stood up, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to listen to other people's sad stories. Once something like "sadness" is shared, everyone can only get two shares of sadness. "
"Hiss..." White Snake slowly frowned, "Why do I feel like I've heard your way of speaking somewhere before?"
I ignored him, only feeling that the faint sadness just now eased a little, so I asked again: "White Snake... What do you think is the motivation for each of us to escape here? Why do these people want to live so much?"
"Motivation...?" "The white snake reached out and touched the top of his head, revealing a sad expression.
I thought he would continue to be careless, but I didn't expect him to sigh deeply and say, "I... don't know about others, but I am doing this for my lover."
"Lover...?" I was stunned.
"Yes, he is still waiting for me at home. He has suffered for me and endured for me. He is all I want in this life." The white snake said with a frown.
I stared at White Snake for a long time. He always said "stinky girl", which always made people feel that there was an age difference between him and me. But the appearance of snake skin made it difficult for me to see his age. So he was already a married man? ?
Yes, this is somehow reasonable.
When you can't find the motivation to live for yourself, you can live for others.
It's just that Aries still looks very young...will he have a wife?
White Snake stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then said: "As long as I can escape from this hell-like place... I will not flinch even if my body is riddled with holes. This is my motive."
"I see..." I nodded at him, "You gave me a very good idea."
When he saw that I was leaving, he felt inexplicably reluctant: "Are you leaving? You are my first guest... If you don't join the "Grief Party", do you want to consider playing games? The probability of death is very high, very exciting! "
"I won't participate in the game. I want to confirm one last thing... If I don't join your "grief meeting", can you let me borrow books every day? I promise you to borrow one and pay back one every day starting from the next day. "I walked to the door and turned back and said, "If I meet other people, I will also try to ask them if they want to join your "grief meeting." This is the only bargaining chip I can offer. "
"This..." White Snake shook his head after hearing this, "No...the only props I have for the game are these books. If everyone who comes to borrow them agrees unconditionally, I will be the first to commit a foul."
"Okay." I nodded to express my understanding, "In that case, we are destined to meet again."
I took two steps, then turned back and said, "By the way, let's change the name."
"What?"
"I mean your 'grief session'. "I shook my head helplessly, "We have organized similar activities in our school, but they are not called "grief meetings", they are called "mutual aid meetings." "
"Huh?" White Snake blinked, ""Mutual Aid Association"? "
"The name at least sounds like "mutual aid." That name of yours is really scary. "I waved to him and left the bookstore.
