Ten Days End

Aries stared at me and Jiang Ruoxue for a long time.

His eyes gradually changed from defenseless to cold again.

About a minute later, he seemed to remember who I was, then turned his head to look at Jiang Ruoxue, then nodded and muttered softly: "Fortunately."

The voice came out softly from the mask, and I didn't even know if I heard it wrong.

Without waiting for Jiang Ruoxue to speak, Aries stared at her and asked: "What did you say just now?"

"I...?" Jiang Ruoxue blinked, "I said I thought you didn't go to work."

"Go to work..." Aries smiled bitterly, "What do you mean by "go to work", it sounds too hard. I can come and go freely here every day, and this place is no different from my home."

"Oh?" Jiang Ruoxue nodded, "Then I'll say it again, it turns out that Aries is at home, and no one answered after calling for a long time, I thought he was not at home. ”

I really admire Jiang Ruoxue.

Although it was the first time she met Aries, she was able to talk and laugh with him naturally. It took me several months to talk to Aries.

“Interesting.” Aries nodded, “You are not common to find people who have nothing to say.”

“Really?” Jiang Ruoxue shrugged, “You are not common to find people who stand there in a daze.”

Aries didn’t seem to be ready to continue the conversation with Jiang Ruoxue, but turned his head and looked at me again: “Is there something going on? Why did you come to me in the afternoon?”

“I…” I didn’t know how to answer. Should I say “I brought Jiang Ruoxue to help you reinterpret what love is”?

“Hey! Aries!” Jiang Ruoxue directly reached out and patted Aries on the shoulder, “I’m here to teach you skills!”

“Teach me skills?” Aries was slightly stunned.

"Why?" Jiang Ruoxue smiled, "Do I look like I can't teach you?"

"Not really." Aries replied, "It's just that few people have talked to me like this, it sounds a bit novel."

"I'm different from Zhichun." Jiang Ruoxue folded her hands in front of her chest, "As long as there is one thing I'm better than you, then I'm willing to teach you humbly."

"That depends on whether I'm willing to learn humbly." Aries said, "What are you capable of?"

Jiang Ruoxue smiled evilly, looked at Aries and asked, "Have you ever been in love?"

"I..." Aries was slightly stunned, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Before, Zhichun told you what "love" is. I'm afraid she was too one-sided, so I want to add a few more words to you."

After a few seconds of silence, Aries said with an unusually cold look: "It's no longer necessary."

"No longer necessary...?" Jiang Ruoxue's face also sank, "I'm late...?"

"Late? "Aries' eyes were no longer cold, but he looked Jiang Ruoxue up and down, as if he had thought of something, "I didn't realize you were such a smart person."

"I'm not a smart person, I'm just a casual person." Jiang Ruoxue smiled, "Are you sure you don't need help? The love that Zhichun described to you might be too perfect... That kind of thing doesn't exist in reality..."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ruoxue paused, and then said, "Two people who are really together will not have everything go smoothly after a long time. You may have frictions over various trivial matters, such as who washes the dishes after dinner, what time to go to bed at night, and even who sleeps on the left and who sleeps on the right. You may even have a big fight over these trivial matters and break up...

"It doesn't matter." Aries interrupted.

"What?"

"I said it doesn't matter." Aries repeated, "You can remember these bad things because of the "peak-end effect".

"The "peak-end effect"...?" "Jiang Ruoxue looked back at me.

I hurriedly explained: "This means that people can usually only remember the peak emotional state and the emotional state at the end of an event. If both states are pleasant, people will think that the whole process is pleasant."

"I don't understand the theory." Jiang Ruoxue said, "Give me an example."

"Many stores use this principle." I explained, "For example, when you go to buy a piece of clothing, the shopping guide will subconsciously praise you for "great figure" and "fair skin" when you are choosing clothes, and tell you that there are discounts or give you a discount when you pay the bill. In this way, the beginning and the end are pleasant, and you will think that the whole shopping process is pleasant. You will also subconsciously ignore many negative emotions such as "there are many people in the store", "the journey is long", "the quality of the clothes is not particularly good", "the clothes have a few threads", and you will be willing to tell others "This is a good store". This is the actual manifestation of the "peak-end effect".

"Fortunately, there isTranslation. Jiang Ruoxue looked at Aries again after she finished speaking, "I understand the "peak-end effect", but what does my ability to remember these things have to do with the "peak-end effect"? "

"If I'm not mistaken..." Aries said, "You can remember these quarrels because you broke up."

"What..." Jiang Ruoxue was slightly startled.

"Because both the "peak" and the "end" are unhappy." Aries said, "So you think that "love is imperfect." "

"Alas..." Jiang Ruoxue shook her head helplessly after hearing this, "I only know that if I like someone, I will be together, and if I'm tired, I will turn around and leave. It's really hard to chat with smart people like you..."

"It's not hard. I can replicate "love" with theory and knowledge. Although I don't understand love, I can also use the "peak-end effect" to simulate real love. As long as this relationship does not break up, I will always remember the positive memories and always think that the other person is perfect. "

Jiang Ruoxue was completely speechless after hearing this.

After listening to the conversation between Aries and Jiang Ruoxue, I could roughly guess what Aries wanted to do.

It's just that this conclusion is too absurd, and I find it hard to believe.

Is Aries going to create an absurd, flawless, and perfect relationship in his inner world?

"Aries..." Jiang Ruoxue took a deep breath and said, "You may not know that the place where I was born is very far away, and it is not easy to come to you. Are you sure there is nothing I can help you with?"

"Why do you have to help me?" Aries asked.

"This is my "cause and effect." Jiang Ruoxue replied, "Because I value Zhichun very much, and she values ​​you, so her "cause and effect" has become my "cause and effect."

"Interesting." Aries nodded, "If that's the case, I do have something I need your help with."

"Oh?" Jiang Ruoxue raised her eyebrows, "Tell me about it. "

Aries slowly moved closer to Jiang Ruoxue, as if he wanted to whisper something to her.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruoxue reached out and pushed Aries to stop him from getting close, then asked with an unhappy face: "Is there anything that Zhichun can't hear?"

Aries glanced at me, then shook his head: "I'm not afraid that Yan Zhichun will hear it, but I'm afraid of other people. "
