Ten Days End

"So... you're also afraid that you won't be able to read on?" I asked.

"I can't say." Aries shook his head. "Everyone is lazy, so I can only think of it as a rainy day. If I don't finish a book in a day, I will think that I "owe" something, and I will feel more anxious. This anxiety will force me to complete the task every day."

"Okay." I nodded, feeling that I still can't keep up with Aries's thinking.

But it happened to be this chance that I became familiar with Aries.

Being familiar with Aries depends on "seeking benefits and avoiding harm", and being familiar with Jiang Ruoxue depends on "leg hair". This kind of social skills will not be written in any book. It seems that the fate between people is more mysterious than what is written in the book.

The feeling of familiarity between Aries and I is difficult to describe, like a long-lost reunion, and like getting to know each other again.

I am getting to know someone I have thought about every day for five years again, which is indeed a bit abstract.

From then on, I went to see Aries every morning and continued to recruit strong people in the afternoon, which lasted for about a month.

Aries read books faster than I thought. He could even finish reading a theoretical book in one afternoon.

And he began to have requirements for the content of the books. He only needed books on economics, management, politics, and game theory. I once tried to bring him some psychology books, but he didn't seem to be interested.

I went to the bookstore to get him a book that day, but suddenly found that the place had changed.

A male ground snake occupied this place and used this bookstore as his "playground".

This is really a bit outrageous. The bookstore that has been unclaimed has suddenly become a playground... How can I get books for Aries in this way?

I tried to walk up to the white ground snake and explain my purpose. The other party shook my hand and pulled me into the house enthusiastically.

He told me that everything can be discussed, but I also need to help him do something.

I looked at him quietly, and I always felt that in addition to Aries, a second strange "zodiac sign" had appeared.

He seemed... a little effeminate.

The white flower snake told me that as long as I joined his "Sad Club", I could borrow books from here in the name of "borrowing". I could choose any book, but I had to borrow and return it.

But the problem is that all the books I gave to Aries were taken back to his residence. How can I borrow and return them to the white flower snake?

Maybe I should explain the situation to Aries... and ask him to return the books he has read every day?

I was thinking about the feasibility of this condition, but suddenly I felt a little sad.

What am I doing...?

To be honest, Aries did not make any promises to me, nor did he give me any advantages. He said that he had "guaranteed my safety", but who can prove it...?

Maybe for all these years, I have been foolishly doing things for Aries, but he did nothing.

Now I have to join this organization that I don't know what it does for Aries, and make deals with other "zodiac signs"?

When I thought about how I had been doing useless work for such a long time, my eyes quickly became lost.

"Damn you little girl." The white snake looked at me and said, "What's going on? Why are you so sad all of a sudden?"

"I... I don't know..." I shook my head, "I just suddenly remembered some bad things."

"That doesn't matter!" The white snake said, "I established this "Sadness Club" to help everyone get out of sadness!"

"Get out of sadness?" I asked in confusion, "Do you mean that this "Sadness Club" is to help people get out of sadness?"

God, I thought it was to help people create sadness when I heard the name.

"What is the specific form?" I asked again.

"Uh... I haven't thought about it carefully... I opened my business today, and I came up with an idea at the last minute... I guess it's just that everyone sits together and talks about their sad stories, right? ”

I never thought that the "Zodiac" would be so casual...

"Just let us sit together and tell each other our sad stories?"

"Yes, isn't that good? What you need is to talk! The more sad people here, the more people you can talk to, you little girl!" The white snake said again, "How could anyone here be willing to set up a support organization for the sad? I'm the only one!"

"But this is a wrong idea." I sighed deeply and stood up, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to listen to other people's sad stories. Once "sadness" is shared, everyone can only get two sadness. "

"Hiss..." The white snake slowly frowned, "Why do I feel that I have heard the way you speak before?"

I ignored him, only feeling that the faint sadness just now eased a little, so I asked again: "White Snake... What do you think is the motivation for each of us to escape here? Why do these people want to live so much?"

"Motive...?" The white snake reached out and touched the top of his head, and unexpectedly showed a sad expression.

I thought he would continue to be careless and not serious, but I didn't expect him to sigh deeply and say: "I... I don't know about others, but I am doing this for my lover."

"Lover...?" I was stunned.

"Yes, he is still waiting for me at home. He has suffered for me and suffered for me. He is all I want in this life." The white snake frowned and said.

I stared at the white snake for a long time. He kept calling me "stinky girl", which always made people feel that there was an age difference between me and him, but the snake skin made it difficult for me to see his age. Is he already a married man?

Yes, this is inexplicably reasonable.

When you can't find the motivation to live for yourself, you can live for others.

But Aries looks very young... Will he have a wife?

White Snake stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, and then said: "As long as I can escape from this hellish place... Even if I am covered with wounds, I will not retreat. This is my motivation."

"I know..." I nodded at him, "You gave me a very good idea."

When he saw me leaving, he was inexplicably reluctant: "Are you leaving? You are my first guest... If you don't join the "Sad Club", do you want to consider playing games? The chance of death is very high, very exciting!"

"I won't participate in the game. I want to confirm one last thing... If I don't join your "Sad Club", can I borrow books every day? I promise you that I will borrow one and return one every day starting from the next day." I walked to the door and turned around and said, "If I meet other people, I will try my best to ask them if they want to join your "Sad Club". This is the only bargaining chip I can offer. "This..." White Snake shook his head after hearing this, "No... I only have these books as game props. If everyone who wants to borrow them agrees unconditionally, I will be the first to break the rules." "Okay." I nodded to show my understanding, "In that case, we'll meet again if we're lucky." I took two steps forward, turned back and said, "By the way, change the name." "What?" "I'm talking about your "Sadness Club." I shook my head helplessly, "We have organized similar activities in our school, but they are not called "Sadness Club", but "Mutual Aid Club." " "Huh?" White Snake blinked, "Mutual Aid Club?" "This name at least sounds like "Mutual Aid". Your name is really a bit scary. "I waved at him and left the bookstore.
