Liu Xiaojiang wanted Chen Duo to live from the bottom of his heart. He did not want to watch his own kind walk towards death.
The fox grieves for the rabbit.
Liu Xiaojiang did have such feelings for Chen Duo. Although he and Chen Duo could not be classified as the same kind to a certain extent, in terms of not being accepted by the world … the two of them were the same.
If he agreed that Chen Duo would eventually walk towards death, it would be equivalent to denying his own existence. It would be equivalent to admitting that he and Chen Duo were outsiders who did not deserve to live.
Liu Xiaojiang never thought that anyone was born to die. Even if his own problems were far more serious than Chen Duo's, he never thought that he should choose to die and sacrifice himself for the 'safety' of most ordinary people.
Therefore..,
He did not agree with the company's attitude towards this matter from the bottom of his heart. He hoped that Chen Duo could choose to live well more than anyone else.
However, it was precisely because he could understand Chen Duo and was willing to respect the thoughts of this' same kind ',
Liu Xiaojiang would not force his own thoughts on Chen Duo. He would only try his best to guide the little girl to make a better choice. He would also return the final choice to the little girl to make her own decision.
..
After a long time..,
"Oh.."
Chen Duo and Liu Xiaojiang sat on the steps outside the factory. She hugged her legs and listened to the explanation given by the other party seriously. Her delicate little face was almost full of hesitation and conflict.
At this moment..,
Liu Xiaojiang had already told Chen Duo about his encounter with Wu Xiangyou, as well as some of the situations and guesses he had investigated. He carefully picked out some things that he could say and told Chen Duo everything.
He sensed Chen Duo's hesitation and conflict because of this. He could not help but slowly raise the corner of his mouth, as if he was very happy to see the little girl's hesitation and conflict.
Hesitation..,
This meant that Chen Duo was seriously considering the choice he gave.
Conflict..,
This meant that the little girl had not despaired of 'living' so far.
It had to be said..,
He was really afraid that Chen Duo would reject him without even thinking. If that really happened, things would become even more difficult to handle.
"Chen Duo, you don't have to give me an answer now. You can take your time to think about this matter. Anyway, I still have a lot of things to do."
Liu Xiaojiang took out his phone and looked at it. He smiled at Chen Duo beside him and said,
"Although Liao is a good guy, he hasn't experienced our situation. It's hard for him to understand our thoughts."
"It's not that I can't understand your situation and thoughts, but you still accidentally killed him after all …"
"This incident has a great impact on the company. The temporary workers have gathered to hunt you down. Even I am one of them … It's just that our purpose is the opposite of theirs."
"Why?" Chen Duo lifted her head and looked at Liu Xiaojiang. Although there was doubt in her dark green eyes, it was obvious that she wasn't asking why the company was after her.
Liu Xiaojiang smiled indifferently. "I've said it before … I just don't want to see you destroyed because of a momentary outburst of emotions."
"Besides …"
"It's very lonely to be alone in this world. Since you and I are almost the same kind of existence, of course I want you to accompany me. Don't you feel that you've always been very lonely?"
"…" Chen Duo didn't say anything.
Liu Xiaojiang saw that Chen Duo didn't refute him. Although he didn't tell her about his inhuman identity, he still couldn't help but remind her again.
"Chen Duo, I know that your past experience has caused you to not care about a lot of things. You don't even value your own life that much."
"However, there are good and bad things in making choices. You can't only value the freedom of choice. You have to think about the consequences of making a choice. You are a person … not a machine that exists for others.
You are the most important person … "
"I'll go with you." Chen Duo looked at the serious expression on Liu Xiaojiang's face and suddenly said her decision. It was as sudden as when she chose to leave the company.
"… What? What did you say? "
Liu Xiaojiang didn't expect Chen Duo to decide to go with him so quickly. He couldn't help but wonder if he had heard wrong.
"I'll go with you," Chen Duo said again.
She saw that Liu Xiaojiang was still standing there in a daze, so she continued to speak.
"Uncle Liao never understood. I never understood either. It wasn't until not long ago … that I understood that even if I have a new identity, I'm still not normal …"
"I don't have a normal past. Staying in the company … even if they can heal my body, they can't give me a normal past …"
At this point …
She pointed at her head. "Here … I'm not normal either."
"So, I won't be stupid enough to want a normal life, and I won't ask for unattainable freedom … I shouldn't care about those things anymore."
"Now … to the current me, the happiest thing is actually very simple … Brother Xiao Jiang, you've already said it just now."
"Whether we're the same kind or not … you know me very well, better than Uncle Liao, better than him, better than myself. You're willing to give me happiness, and at the same time, like Uncle Liao …"
"I'll go with you."
Hearing this,
"Phew …"
Liu Xiaojiang sat on the steps and spread his feet. He let out a breath of relief and said,
"As expected, I guessed right. You're a very smart girl. You know everything … It's just that your way of thinking is different from normal people."
"Although I don't know when you made your first choice, I guess … it should be before you saw Liao for the last time, right?"
"Yes." Chen Duo nodded.
"So …" Liu Xiaojiang said without any surprise, "The reason why you went to see Liao for the last time was to test whether he was really good to you?"
"Yes …" Chen Duo nodded again.
"Sigh …"
Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh,
"You confirmed that Liao was good to you, and the fact that he wouldn't let you leave …"
"Then, because of your feelings for him, you decided to either let him agree with your choice or let him deny everything about you … right?"
"…" Chen Duo didn't say anything else.
Seeing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang didn't say anything else. He rubbed Chen Duo's head and said in a gentle voice,
"Forget it. The past is the past. Don't worry too much about Liao's matter. He didn't do anything to you until the end. Perhaps it means that he agreed with your choice."
"So …"
"No matter what the outcome is, since you've already received his approval, you should live well … work hard to prove to him that your choice is right."
"I'll take good care of you for Liao. At the same time … even if you can't integrate or accept it, you have to slowly learn to understand everything in the world and then decide how to walk your own life path.
I'll always watch over you. "
"Okay!" Chen Duo nodded obediently.
