After Sihwa came to the pet shop, although she stopped at the small bathroom, her ears were very sensitive. Whether it was on the first floor or the second floor, she could hear everything. Even what happened on the street outside could not escape her ears. She could hear the elfins talking and playing, but she had never heard the elfins cry. She, on the other hand, would cry whenever there was a disagreement. Although sometimes it was fake crying, the sadness was often real.
She did not understand why they were always so happy.
The two cats and one person learned the reason for her crying. They could not help but feel angry and amused.
No one was more qualified to speak about this issue than Zhang Zian. He said meaningfully, "You're wrong. Most of the time, it's not that you don't cry. It's just that you force yourself to smile. You think you've suffered a lot, but in fact, everyone has their own different troubles and indescribable experiences. It's just that everyone is very strong and does not show it. "
Sihwa looked doubtful. "I don't believe it. I can't even get out of this shabby bathroom. It's like I've been sentenced to life imprisonment and a prisoner. The outside world can only watch. Who else could be worse than me?"
"It's bad to be trapped in a bathroom? You can at least look at the scenery and play with your phone. " Zhang Zian sneered. "Then what if you're trapped in a dark iron box, living and dying, dying and coming back to life, going through countless cycles of life and death, but never seeing any hope of liberation?"
Sihwa was stunned. Was there such a thing?
She thought that being trapped in the bathtub was already miserable enough, but imagine being trapped in a dark metal box and having to experience life and death over and over again. That was really worse than death … In terms of misery, it was much worse than her.
"Also, have you ever experienced the feeling of being locked in an even narrower dog cage, surrounded by stinking dog poop, eating food that is worse than pig feed, and being whipped if you don't satisfy your owner? And when you finally get out of the dog cage, you're forced to play the role of others. In the end, you can't show your real name to people in your life, let alone talk about being brilliant in the world? "Zhang Zian said further.
Sihwa was even more shocked. If she lived that kind of life, it would be better to just die.
"At least you have your phone to play with and the scenery to look at. Can you imagine being forced to type on the keyboard 24/7, hoping that the letters you type can form meaningful words?"
"Can you experience the feeling of being separated from your loved ones when you are seriously ill, but after you are resurrected, you will never be able to meet them again for various reasons?"
"If you love someone deeply, but you are betrayed by that person, used as a scapegoat, and then thrown to your death on the stairs, how does that compare to your life?"
Zhang Zian said one after another, and each one made Sihwa sweat profusely. She always thought that she was the most miserable, that the whole world should sympathize with her, and that everyone should compensate her, but what was the truth? Compared to those things, her life and experiences could be considered much happier.
His gaze turned to Fina. Just as he was about to open his mouth to continue speaking, he was fiercely swayed his ears, bared his teeth, and extended his claws to threaten him. He could only swallow his words back into his stomach.
Old Time Tea also smiled and shook its head slightly. Zhang Zian knew what it meant: don't mention those old things again. Let the past go with the wind.
"They have experienced so many painful pasts, but today they are still smiling at life. They don't blame anyone, and they don't try to take revenge on anyone, although they definitely have that ability … Don't you think they are very admirable?" He finally concluded, both to educate Sihwa and to take the opportunity to express the emotions in his heart.
Sihwa cried again.
Zhang Zian was shocked when he saw her tears dripping into the bathtub. Old Time Tea and Fina took two steps back at the same time, thinking that she was going to cry with ultrasound again. Fortunately, she seemed to be crying silently and did not cry out loud.
This time, she was not crying because she felt sorry for herself. She was crying because she was moved and guilty.
Zhang Zian waited for a moment and asked, "I remember that you were in a good mood in the morning. Why did you suddenly cry?"
When he got up and washed his face in the morning, he saw that although Sihwa's mood was not very high, at least she was relatively calm. Why did she suddenly cry without warning? There had to be a reason.
Sihwa sniffled and raised her hand to point to the wall. That was the direction of the living room desk.
"I was playing with my phone when I suddenly heard a very, very sad whale song. Although I didn't quite understand it, that song seemed to be grabbing my neck, making me almost unable to breathe … The whole song, from beginning to end, seemed to be talking about loneliness, as if I was alone in the vast world. Even if I searched the ends of the earth, I would not be able to find my own kind … When I heard this song, I suddenly thought of myself …" Sihwa choked with sobs and said, "Since I appeared in this world, I have only been myself.
"Ever since I appeared in this world, I've only been myself. I've tried to sing to the distance several times, wanting to find another me, another mermaid … Many times, many times, I know that singing takes a lot of time, but it doesn't matter. I'm willing to wait, but no matter how I wait, there's no response … Maybe my voice doesn't travel far enough. After all, this world is very big. I came to the other side of the world, from Germany to China, and continued to sing, but there's still no one here to respond to me … In this world, I'm probably the only one who was born alone. Maybe one day, I'll die alone …" Sihwa choked with sobs and said, "Since I appeared in this world, I've only been myself.
Her narration was intermittent. Sometimes she would stop to wipe her eyes and rub her nose, but in general, she explained the matter clearly.
"So, when I heard this song that sang about loneliness, I could no longer control my tears … I knew you were outside, and I only wanted to cry a few times, but the more I cried, the more I couldn't stop. But I didn't want you to hear me, so I could only …"
Everyone knew what happened after that. If she continued to cry, even Meng Jiangnu would have to admit defeat … Speaking of which, Meng Jiangnu could cry down the Great Wall. Could it be that her voice …
Zhang Zian, Old Time Tea, and Fina exchanged glances. They all felt that it was a bit tricky.
Even among the elfins, Sihwa seemed to be unique. There was probably no other mermaid in the world, and even if there was one, it was not that easy to encounter one.
Other elfins, dogs, cats, monkeys, and birds, no matter what, had their own kind.
"Same kind" did not sound very important, but imagine if all the humans in the world disappeared and you were the only one left, and you were imprisoned in a small bathroom. There was no way out, and there was no way out. That feeling was probably not good.
