End of ten days

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

"I can't say." Aries shook his head, "Everyone is lazy, so I can only prepare for a rainy day. If I don't finish reading a book in a day, I will think that I "owe" something, and my anxiety will be even greater. Heavier, this anxiety forces me to get things done every day.”

"Okay." I nodded, feeling that I still couldn't keep up with Aries' thoughts.

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

Getting acquainted with Aries relies on "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages", while getting acquainted with Jiang Ruoxue relies 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 hard to describe. It feels like we are reunited after a long absence, and we feel like we are getting to know each other again.

I am reacquainting myself with someone I have thought about every day for five years, and it 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 about a month.

Aries reads books faster than I thought. He can even flip through a theoretical book in one afternoon.

And he also began to have requirements for the content of books. He only needed books on economics, management, politics, and game theory. I once tried to bring him some psychology books, but it seemed that he was not interested. big.

On this day, I went to the bookstore again to get books for him, but suddenly I found that the place looked different.

A male snake has taken over this place and uses this bookstore as his "playing ground".

This is really a bit outrageous. The bookstore with no one claiming it has suddenly become a game venue... How can I get books for Aries like this?

I tried to step forward and explain my purpose to the white ground snake. The other party held my hand and enthusiastically pulled me into the house.

He told me that everything was negotiable, but I also needed to do something for him.

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

He seems...a bit girly.

The white snake told me that as long as I join his "grief meeting", I can get books from here in the name of "borrowing" in the future. I can choose any book, but I need to borrow it and return it.

But the problem is that all the books I gave to Aries were brought back to his residence, so how could I borrow and return them to White Flower Snake?

Maybe I should explain the situation to Aries... and ask him to return the finished book to me every day?

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

What on earth am I doing...?

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

Maybe for so many years, I have been stupidly doing things for Aries, but he has done nothing.

Now, do I want to join this organization that doesn’t know what to do and make deals with other “zodiac signs” for the sake of Aries?

When I thought about the useless work I had done for such a long time, my eyes quickly became disappointed.

"Damn you stinky girl." White Flower 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's okay!" Baihua Snake said, "This "Grief Club" I established is to help everyone get rid of grief!"

"Getting out of grief?" I asked doubtfully, "You mean this "sadness meeting" helps people get out of grief?"

God, based on the name, I thought he was here to help make people sad.

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

"Uh... I haven't thought about this carefully... I opened the business today, and my last-minute idea... I guess it was just for everyone to sit together and tell each other their sad stories, right?"

I never thought "zodiac sign" could be so casual...

"Just for us to sit around and tell each other our sad stories?"

"Yes, isn't this bad? What you need is to talk! The more sad people here, the more people you will have to talk to, stinky girl!" White Snake said again, "How could anyone here be willing to help those who are sad? Establish a support organization? It’s just me!”

"But this is a wrong idea." I sighed deeply and stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to hear other people's sad stories. Once something like "sadness" is shared, everyone will just Can gain two sorrows.”

"Hiss..." White Snake slowly frowned, "Why do I feel like I've heard the way you talk before?"

I ignored him, only feeling that the faint sadness just now had slowed down a bit, so I asked again: "White Snake... What do you think is the motivation for each of us to escape here? Why are these people like this?" Want to live?"

"Motive...?" Baihua Snake reached out and touched the top of his head, and actually showed a sad expression.

I thought he would continue to act casually, but I didn't expect him to sigh deeply and say: "I...I don't know about others, but I do it for my lover."

"Love...?" I was stunned.

"Yes, he is still waiting for me at home. He has suffered for me and suffered for me, which is all I want in this life." White Snake said with a frown.

I stared at White Snake for a long time. He always said "stinky girl", which always made people feel that there was an age difference between him and me. However, the appearance of snake skin made it difficult for me to see his age. It turned out that he was already a married man. ?

Yes, this is somehow reasonable.

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

It's just that Aries still looks very young...will he have a wife?

White Snake stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then said: "As long as I can escape from this hell-like place... I will not flinch even if my body is riddled with holes. This is my motive."

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

When he saw that I was leaving, he was inexplicably reluctant: "Are you leaving? You are my first guest... If you don't join the "Grief Party", should you consider playing a game? The probability of death Very high and very exciting!”

"I won't participate in the game. I want to confirm one last thing... If I don't join your "grief meeting", can you let me borrow books every day? I promise you to borrow one and return one every day starting from the next day." I walked up to The man at the door turned back and said, "If I meet other people, I will also try to ask them if they want to join your "grief meeting." This is the only bargaining chip I can offer."

"This..." White Snake shook his head after hearing this, "No...the only game props I have are these books. If everyone who comes to borrow them agrees unconditionally, I will be the first to make a mistake."

"Okay." I nodded to express my understanding, "In that case, we are destined to meet again."

I took two steps, then turned back and said, "By the way, let's change the name."

"What?"

"I'm talking about your "Grief Party."" I shook my head helplessly, "Our school has organized similar activities, but they don't call them "Grief Party," they call them "Mutual Aid Groups."

"Huh?" White Snake blinked, ""Mutual Aid Association"?"

"The name at least sounds like "mutual aid." Your name is really scary." I waved to him and left the bookstore.
