After that, Jingzi left the table without saying a word, went back upstairs and never came back.
Seeing this, Zhang San felt helpless and could only apologize to Luo Zhen, then left the table and went back upstairs, seemingly to persuade him.
The servant also became trembling because of the conversation just now. After the master and his wife left the table, with the permission of Koichiro and Asuna, they quickly left the hall and went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's dinner.
Suddenly, Luo Zhen, Asuna and Koichiro were the only three people left in the living room.
"well... "
Koichiro sighed.
"It's good now, you probably won't be able to reconcile with my mother anymore."
Koichiro said this helplessly.
Asuna also looked at Luo Zhen with worry on her face.
"My mother never likes others to contradict her, especially when it comes to big things. Even my father always listens to my mother's words. If you refute your mother in person like this, it will make her unable to step down. She will definitely not look good on you again in the future. .”
The Yuki family brother and sister were worried about this.
On the contrary, it was Luo Zhen who clearly slapped his mother-in-law so hard on the face that she couldn't step down, but he looked relaxed.
"Should I obey your mother's arrangements honestly and hand over the rest of my life?" Luo Zhen shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want my future life to become so unfree."
Although, the path mentioned by Jingzi, with Luo Zhen's ability, can actually be achieved without much effort. Regardless of academic qualifications or grades, Luo Zhen is impeccable and perfect. Even if he enters the society, Luo Zhen's mind , can also easily stand above thousands of people. These are not difficult for Luo Zhen, even if he doesn't use mystery, but Luo Zhen just can't stand Jingzi's way of helping others arrange their lives and taking it for granted. manner.
"Perhaps in her opinion, the path she chose for us is undoubtedly the best and will be the best in the future, but there is no will of our own in it, let alone our own interests and hobbies. I am sure that as long as we agree to her In the future, even my spare time will have to be spent on studying. It is impossible to play games anymore, and there is no leisure and entertainment at all. That kind of life may not be said to be wrong, but unfortunately, it is not suitable for me."
Luo Zhen said it bluntly.
"But the future that mom describes is indeed the most desirable for you. As long as you follow her instructions, you can live a carefree life from now on."
Koichiro temporarily helped his mother.
only...
"A carefree life?" Luo Zhen looked deeply at Koichiro and said, "Brother Ichiro, let me ask you, are you carefree now?"
One sentence made Koichiro speechless on the spot.
Is he carefree
how can that be possible
If he was carefree, then Koichiro wouldn't have needed to buy a gaming helmet, let alone SAO's gaming software. He could just continue to work hard according to the future that Kyoko described. Why would he need to play games
It's because life today is too serious and boring that Koichiro wants to play games.
Come again...
"Uncle Akira San and Aunt Jingzi are now undoubtedly successful people, and they are also above ten thousand people, but are they carefree?"
Luo Zhen once again raised a question that neither brother nor sister of the Yuuki family could answer.
After all, how can one be carefree
Even now, Akira is often worried about cooperation with foreign companies. He is also deeply affected by Sugou Nobuyuki's incident and often gets distracted. Kyoko seems to be full of majesty, but in fact, she has always been worried about dealing with the Yuki family. , I have to compete with my relatives in my hometown under pressure every year, just to be one step ahead of others, not to be looked down upon by others, let alone to not be compared with others in the family and show off my power over my head.
Successful people like them are still unable to get rid of their troubles in the end. Forced by external factors, they have to tighten their nerves and walk every step carefully like a tightrope. Otherwise, everything they have gained may leave them at any time.
In this way, it is impossible to be carefree.
"So, it doesn't mean that if your conditions are good, your status is high, you have money, and you don't need to worry about food, rice, oil and salt, then it means you are worry-free."
Luo Zhen said this calmly.
"Rich people have their own worries, and those in power also have the responsibilities and pressures of those in power. If you really want to get rid of your worries completely, you must not fight or grab, be arrogant or impatient, not be tempted by material things, and not be fascinated by power. , that is true detachment.”
At this moment, Luo Zhen's state of mind, which took a hundred years to reach the extreme state, was clearly revealed.
"The so-called society is actually just that some people are struggling at the bottom, some are struggling at the top, some are struggling in pain, and some are struggling in happiness."
"The people below are trying to climb up, and the people above are trying hard to maintain their status. In the end, they are all trying their best. The difference is that one has not yet succeeded and the other has not failed."
"In this case, it's better to be like me and make money ruthlessly, ensuring that you don't need anything, and don't want the rest and let others grab it. That would be more satisfying."
While drinking black tea, Luo Zhen smiled at Koichiro and Asuna.
Seeing Luo Zhen like this, Asuna was stunned for a while, and then smiled. Koichiro was silent for a while, and then smiled bitterly.
"You're right, brother, maybe it's best to live like you do." Koichiro patted Luo Zhen's shoulder and said with a sigh: "It would be great if I could meet you earlier."
Obviously, Koichiro envies Luo Zhen.
Not to mention Asuna, the life described by Luo Zhen is the most beautiful for her.
There is no need to worry about material problems, and there is no need to compromise with others. A quiet life, a happy life, a harmonious family, and harmony. That is what Asuna wants most.
Perhaps, Asuna's life is indeed full of twists and turns, but because of this, this girl actually yearns for a more ordinary life.
This is why Luo Zhen has always avoided showing mystery in front of Asuna.
Asuna is only suitable for an ordinary life. Even if she encounters any difficulties, this girl will definitely pick up the rapier, fight strong, and will unconditionally support her beloved, but she definitely doesn't do this because she likes it.
In this regard, Asuna and Mash are actually a bit similar. Neither of them likes fighting, but if they really have to fight, they will silently hide the fear and weakness in their hearts, stand strong on the front line, and protect themselves most importantly. people.
Luo Zhen understands this, so he wants Asuna to live an ordinary life.
"Sorry, I ended up having a little conflict with your mother."
Luo Zhen held Asuna's hand.
"No, I should be the one to thank you for helping me express what's on my mind."
Asuna shook her head and held Luo Zhen's hand tightly.
The two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of warmth and tenderness.
"Ahem!" Koichiro coughed and said with a straight face, "I said, I'm still here. Don't treat me like I don't exist. Are you just showing off your kindness?"
"Haha..." Luo Zhen and Asuna also laughed immediately.
The heavy atmosphere was swept away and no longer existed.
