For more than ten seconds, no one spoke.

“I don’t have anyone I hate the most.”

With the answer finally coming, Ye Kong threw the black piece in her hand back into the chess pot with a snap.

This probably means that she intends to answer the question seriously.

"Even if you think about it, there's no ordinary 'hate' - maybe there was some many years ago, but not now."

She was wondering why Wen Can asked this question.

At the same time, Ouyang Nian’s request for help resurfaced in his mind, so he couldn’t help but guess: Was Wen Can’s question referring to himself?

Is this also an unconscious request for help? Just like people always like to make up questions and ask others "what would you do if it were you?", then the person he hates the most is undoubtedly his father.

But she didn't know what Wen Rong had done specifically. Did he kill Chi Wandao? Most likely, otherwise he wouldn't be so obsessed with his mother's death that he would make a necklace with her ashes to remind himself every day. Did he have an affair and have an illegitimate child and raise him in the Wen family? Maybe, but it's not certain.

How should she answer? What answer would help his case?

Should she encourage or even help him get revenge? Or should she keep a certain distance and pretend not to know and let him do what he wants?

Generally speaking, when asking a question, the questioner probably has an answer in his mind. So what is his answer? Does he want to hear my encouragement, to hear that I have the same idea as him, or is he really confused?

——No... Why would I think so much? Is this still me?

I clearly have always refused to consider the hidden meaning behind other people's words.

Is this also a sign of love? — This is the first time I have tried to guess someone else’s thoughts, not instinctively, but actively and positively, even pondering over it.

——This is so exciting.

As she thought rapidly, she said calmly, "I find it hard to imagine what kind of person would do what to deserve my 'most hatred' - if it was just ordinary hatred, or even not hatred at all, but just disgust and disgust, I would probably instinctively retaliate. But if it was a strong emotion like 'most hatred', then I would probably have to think of some fancy, even inconsiderate ways to deal with him."

Ye Kong finally gave an honest answer: "I felt a long time ago that execution by shooting was too kind to some people - too quick and clean, not painful enough, not long enough, not enough to enjoy."

Is this wrong?

The girl thought frantically in her heart with an expressionless face - was this leading him down the path of perversion?

Wen Can seemed a little surprised. He looked at her and asked, "Which previous one?"

"..."

Ye Kong took a look at the chessboard, and felt a rare struggle between his conscience and his desires.

She didn't like breaking the rules she set, and wanted to remind Wen Can that he had to capture one of her pieces before he could ask any questions.

However, she had too little time to discuss such important issues with Wen Can. Ouyang Nian, the quack doctor, didn't know how he could tell that he was in a dangerous state, which made her worried. If she instinctively chose the principle at this moment, she estimated that Wen Can would not have many opportunities to ask him questions...

Forget it.

Ye Kong lowered her eyelids. No one could tell what was in her heart from her unchanged expression and tone. "When I was in the orphanage."

"Ever since I learned to think, I've started to think about everyone around me - the orphanage is actually a very complicated place. Compared to people born into ordinary families in society, an orphanage is a place where you can gather more complex human beings."

She simply launched into a long speech.

Even though she is only 21 years old, an age that many adults would even describe as "a little brat who knows nothing", but at this moment she sincerely hopes that her experiences and ideas can bring something to Wen Can who has been in pain - anything is fine, as long as it is something richer - because for her, even painful feelings are worth cherishing.

"Orphans refer to children without parents. Although it is a general term, this general term actually includes many different people. Just like me, there are children who were thrown at the door of an orphanage at birth. There are many different origins. Most of them are because of physical defects or incurable congenital diseases. In addition, there are young people who dare not bear the consequences after tasting the forbidden fruit and throw them away. People like them will most likely carry a note with their names written on it. But this large category is not the most common. The most common children in the orphanage are those who were sent here after their parents died unexpectedly. And within this part, there are more types, some with relatives, some without relatives, some whose parents died of ordinary deaths, and some whose parents died of crimes. Crimes are divided into serious crimes and minor crimes. Can you imagine?"

The girl sat cross-legged in the light reflected by the lamp and the transparent tarpaulin, looking at him calmly with her eyelids.

Wen Can completely saw the world in her camera from those eyes - an observer outside the world, objective, calm, without a trace of emotion, not even curiosity, she just reflected like a mirror and recorded like a camera.

"If you are born in an ordinary family, the first place you go to is kindergarten, but in an orphanage, you are already in society from the moment you open your eyes."

"It's true for children, and even more so for adults - the expressions of all the adults who come to the orphanage to adopt are very interesting."

Ye Kong picked up the thermos cup beside her and planned to unscrew the cap to take a sip - but she couldn't unscrew it. She stood there for less than two seconds, and the man opposite her had already raised his hand to take it, silently unscrewed the cap, poured the liquid into the small cup, and tested the temperature before returning it to her.

Ye Kong: ...

"I didn't mean to do that," she defended herself.

"I know." The man curled his eyes and looked very gentle.

Such a person would actually "hate" someone the most - this actually confused her a little.

A person like Wen Can actually possesses the strongest love and the strongest hatred. She couldn't help but feel extremely curious about this, because up to now, she had never seen him lose control. On the contrary, all she saw was calmness, a calmness that did not show any trace of endurance at all.

“I loved observing their expressions at the time – I found the expressions of adults trying to hide their thoughts more interesting than the emotions written on their faces by children who couldn’t hide them.”

Ye Kong took a sip of water and continued, "Some of them really want to adopt a child, some of them just want to do good deeds and give lucky orphans a home, and some of them have been unable to give birth to children. Most of these people have steady and kind expressions, and their eyes are sincere when they look at everyone. But some adopters have sad faces, and their eyes are evasive when they look at people. They even cover their faces and wipe away tears accidentally. These people usually have children who have died, and they want to adopt one to fill the void and comfort themselves. In addition, there are some people who are hesitant and picky. When they see a child who is trying to please them, they show a template-like friendly smile, but when they see the dean or an adult, the smile will immediately become awkward and reluctant. These people usually have their reasons."
