Chapter 1273: The Most Loyal Ally 5

Wan Donglin chuckled softly.

She also smiled sweetly.

This man has handed his lifeline over to her — like practicing iron cloth and golden bell cover, his vital point is the only weakness — yet, he has entrusted it to her.

Who’s afraid?

So, he started to show off again, acting out wildly.

“Brother Donglin, I want to eat pears… I want the small ones, definitely not those yellow-skinned ones…”

“Brother Donglin, I want plums, they must be the sourest ones, the ones with green skins…”

Wan Donglin poured a cup of warm water and walked over, speaking softly: “Silly girl, do you want to add some lemon?”

“Shh… look…”

Wan Donglin followed her gaze and saw a line of ants on the ground.

It was a line of ants working together, carrying a bug much larger than their bodies, slowly progressing along the wisteria flower rack, heading towards victory. It was clear that there was definitely their nest beneath the flower rack’s roots.

“Brother Donglin, sometimes I wonder what’s the meaning of life? Take these ants, they come and go every day, merely moving homes, seeking food, avoiding the elements, and nothing more beyond that goal and purpose…”

“…”

“And isn’t life precisely like this! Take me for example, pregnant, just lying here every day, eat something and often vomit. Besides that, doing nothing, just waiting for a new life to be born… And then, when this life grows up, it begins a new cycle of the same kind of life…”

“…”

“Not to mention the boredom of pregnancy, just talk about most people, it’s nothing more than working, living, career, the daily nine-to-five, following routines, over and over again. How meaningful is that work? How much does it contribute to human progress and advancement? Not necessarily! Because without this line of work, there is no impact on Earth… Upon careful observation of those around us, it turns out that ninety-nine percent of people live just like this, no different from ants, worker bees…”

“Even so-called elites, what does it amount to? Scurrying about haphazardly, busy every day, but in the end, what’s it all for? Nothing more than strife and contention again and again… Even standing at the pinnacle, so what? Still the brevity of life, and cannot be affluent forever…”

Wan Donglin sat down beside her.

“I remember there was a very remarkable scientist, one of the most outstanding figures in his field. A certain country wanted to kill him yet struggled to find a way. Eventually, their agents came up with a plan, effortlessly causing this scientist to commit suicide…”

“What method did they use?”

“They secretly followed this scientist, filming his entire life process for two years. One day, the scientist suddenly saw this videotape and found out that every day was merely going to and from work, from the laboratory to home or travel, from hotel to home… 365 days a year, without exception, indistinguishable from the routine of worker bees. He was greatly shocked, feeling this was absolutely a rigid, oppressive, meaningless life, thus he committed suicide…”

Yan Xixi gazed at him.

At that moment, he also gazed at her.

At this instant, for the first time, he understood what she was trying to say.

Even though they say pregnancy muddles the mind for three years, even though she lies at home doing nothing all day, feeling nauseous and vomiting — yet, she knows he leaves early and returns late, then slowly, what might happen.

After a while, he smiled and tightly held her hand.
