As time goes by, the light outside the window gradually changes from bright to soft orange. The setting sun casts a long shadow on the library's bookshelves and casts a warm afterglow on the quiet reading area.
Ichinose Honami gently closed the library book in her hand, raised her wrist and glanced at the time, then turned her gaze to Wu Qiao, who was sitting opposite. She tilted her head slightly, with a bit of curiosity and probing in her eyes, and said softly, "Wu-kun, although I feel like I shouldn't ask, but... what did you write in the note just now?"
Upon hearing Ichinose Honami's inquiry, Wu Qiao's fingers that turned the pages of the book paused slightly.
He was frantically thinking about countermeasures in his mind. If he directly said that this was his "destiny", he would definitely be regarded as a patient with advanced chuunibyou.
"Some philosophical stuff." Wu Qiao raised his head and gave a seemingly normal answer with a calm expression, "I happened to see a group of people discussing this before and thought it was quite interesting, so I took a note of their respective ideas."
He secretly added in his mind: He was not lying, after all, these fate paths do correspond to various philosophical concepts.
Ichinose Honami naturally didn't know the crazy complaints about Aeon in Wu Qiao's mind. She was just curious by the philosophical concepts in Wu Qiao's mouth, and her clear eyes shone with the light of curiosity. "Philosophical concepts? It sounds so profound... What are they specifically?"
Wu Qiao looked at her expression of listening attentively and decided to explain a little in terms she could understand. He pointed to a certain line in the notebook and said in a calm tone, "Like hedonism and Nihility ism.. Some people think that the meaning of life lies in the pursuit of happiness, while others think that everything is meaningless; others absolutely believe in the sanctity of the law and believe that there is no rule without rules; of course, there are also people who think that in order to practice so-called justice, it is understandable to launch necessary violence."
"Hedonism...Nihility ism..."
Ichinose Honami repeated these words softly and nodded thoughtfully. She looked at Wu Qiao with a hint of admiration in her eyes. "Wu-kun is really amazing. He can think about such profound issues. Unlike me, I usually read books just to kill time or escape reality."
"Escape from reality?" Wu Qiao keenly captured the strangeness in her words.
Ichinose Honami was startled for a moment, as if she realized that she had slipped her words, but she quickly restored her gentle smile, with an imperceptible sadness flashing across her eyes. "Well... I guess. After all, as long as you are immersed in the world of books, you don't have to face those troublesome things."
Wu Qiao looked at her and did not continue to ask.
"Everyone has something they want to escape from. This is normal." Wu Qiao said calmly, without any judgment in his tone. "As long as the way of escaping does not hurt others, then it is not a big deal."
Ichinose Honami was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Wu Qiao to give such an answer. Looking at Wu Qiao's deep and calm eyes, a certain string in his heart seemed to be lightly plucked.
"Yes." She nodded slightly, and the smile on her lips became more relaxed, "Thank you Wu-kun."
"It's almost time," Wu Qiao glanced at it and began to pack away the notebooks and pens on the table, "It's time to go to the cafeteria."
"Ah, yes!" Ichinose Honami also came to his senses and quickly put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf, "Wu-kun, do you want to go to the cafeteria together? I know there is delicious curry rice today."
Wu Qiao looked at her expectant look, and his heart moved slightly.
"Okay." He nodded and stood up.
"Great!" Ichinose Honami laughed happily, her pink eyes looking particularly bright, "Then let's go, Wu-kun!"
The two walked out of the library side by side. The noise during the lunch break was no longer in the corridor, replaced by a kind of tranquility that belonged to the evening.
"Wu-kun," Ichinose Honami walked beside Wu Qiao and said softly, "If you have any interesting philosophical ideas in the future, you can tell me about them. Although I may not fully understand them, I am willing to be your listener."
Wu Qiao turned her head and looked at her side face that was dyed orange by the sunset.
"Okay."
Ichinose Honami looked at the photos on the terminal in his hand and fell into deep thought.
This is a photo of notes she secretly took while Wu Qiao was not paying attention in the cafeteria.
Uh... Although some words in Chinese and Japanese are the same, she really can't understand them!
There are indeed similarities between the two, but the differences are ridiculously large.
This is just like, as we all know WarGreymon is the ultimate body, but the golden answer is also the ultimate body.
Facts have proved that Ichinose Honami is really incomprehensible, and most of the content is simply incomprehensible.
However, she soon felt relieved.
If you doubt anything, there is no need to doubt one thing, and that is Ichinose Honami's connections.
Wu Qiao is so abnormally encrypted in Chinese, that means this note must be very important.
So, that night, Ichinose Honami knocked on Wang Meiyu's bedroom door and handed the notes he had copied one stroke at a time to Wang Meiyu's hands.
Of course, she didn't hide it and directly stated that this was Wu Qiao's note.
Wang Meiyu took the piece of paper filled with Chinese characters and read it carefully.
"Erudition: Learn, dig out knowledge, and do the math."
"Voracity: Devour, satisfy instincts and desires."
"Elation: Laughter, what is happiness, know how to be happy."
"Destruction: Anger will eventually turn into ashes, so destroy it early."
"Order: Rules, nothing can be done without rules."
"The Hunt: Revenge, primitive justice and self-discipline."
"Abundance: Selfless, healing, helping the urgent but not the poor."
"Beauty: Moderate, understand the beauty of all things, and be firm in yourself."
"Preservation: Shelter, protect the soil of survival."
"Trailblaze: Explore, try the unknown, and broaden your knowledge."
"Remembrance: Record, remember everything, save history."
"Mystery: Concealment, deception and lies covering up the past."
"Immortality: eternity, questioning the meaning of existence."
"Propagation: Reproduce, reject loneliness, and create the same kind."
"Harmony: Family, all united as one, Harmony."
"Equilibrium: Balance, nothing in this world can be partial."
"Finality: Redemption, preventing disaster before it happens."
"Nihility: Negation, everything is meaningless."
After reading, Wang Meiyu scratched his head, raised his head with a confused expression, and said to Ichinose Honami, "Is Wu-kun not studying but starting to think about philosophy?"
