43 Why do good people suffer?
Xie Jingchen wrapped An Ruqiao in a quilt, picked her up and moved her to the bed.
He hugged her tightly from behind through the quilt. While the arm that passed under her body circled her, he reached into the quilt and held her wrist so that her nails could not hurt him.
The other hand gently patted her side as if coaxing a baby to sleep.
It didn't stop until her struggle gradually weakened, her breathing gradually slowed down, and her body temperature warmed up under the dual effects of the quilt and his body temperature.
The tossing lasted until midnight.
Withdrawal reactions are often associated with addiction, or in other words, with "drugs". As a staff member of the public security system, Xie Jingchen should have suspected An Ruqiao of being contaminated with "drugs" and reported it to the public security organs. However,
Xie Jingchen didn't think about it in that regard.
Because combined with An Ruqiao's identity, whether it is his apparent identity as an obstetrician or his secret identity as the heir of the rl prophet, it is unlikely that it is related to "drugs".
Instead... Xie Jingchen suspected that An Ruqiao had overdosed.
Some prescription drugs can become addictive or cause withdrawal reactions when used excessively. Therefore, you must follow your doctor's advice when taking drugs.
An Ruqiao, who got rid of the hallucination and woke up from the painful state, found that she was shrinking in Xie Jingchen's arms and moved a little awkwardly.
Xie Jingchen had not slept. Although he was very sleepy, he still kept his attention on An Ruqiao. When An Ruqiao moved at this time, he noticed it.
"woke up?"
Xie Jingchen asked.
His voice was a little hoarse and deeper than usual. When it sounded in An Ruqiao's ears, she felt itchy.
An Ruqiao struggled for a while, but didn't move, so she stopped moving. Her wrist was still held by Xie Jingchen, and the place where her skin touched was a little hot.
"...Hmm." An Ruqiao's voice was very soft. She still had little strength, and her voice was more breathy and nasal, "...let go."
She had tried very hard to use a strong tone, but when she said it, it still sounded like she was being coquettish.
"Okay." Xie Jingchen responded, loosened the hand holding An Ruqiao's wrist, pulled it out from the quilt, and instead wrapped An Ruqiao's entire body from the outside of the quilt.
This man is really...
Yang serves and Yin violates.
Just when An Ruqiao was about to say something, Xie Jingchen spoke first, "What's your condition today? Is it a drug overdose?"
"No, it's Fang Ling." An Ruqiao got to the point immediately after hearing his question.
"The tea that Fang Ling gave me contained a special ingredient, which is both addictive and hallucinogenic, and is somewhat similar to "poison". However, Fang Ling drank a whole cup but was fine, and I only drank one.
Small but huge drug reaction, I suspect... Fang Ling may have something to do with the RL organization."
"Fang Ling is related to the rl organization?" Xie Jingchen became nervous when he heard "rl". He suddenly lost his sleepiness and hugged her tighter. "How do you know?"
"This kind of drug reaction..." An Ruqiao struggled but couldn't get away, so she simply gave up and stayed in Xie Jingchen's arms. She even moved a little and changed into a more comfortable position.
"I experienced this when I was in RL. If you test Fang Ling's tea, you probably won't find anything wrong. The tea... interacts with the drugs that I was injected with before, which caused this result.
."
"RL is a strange organization. It is like a combination of a cult and a pyramid scheme. The way to control the members of the organization is brainwashing and drug treatment."
"Their leader, the 'Prophet', is the only leader in the organization. He is the person who holds the power of life and death for all members. He is a dictator. His power in the organization is greater than that of the emperor. What is even more terrifying is that
, the members of the organization basically follow him voluntarily and obey his orders."
"The prophet put forward a slogan called 'release nature'. After being exposed to religious ethics and philosophical ideas from various countries, he became crazy about the theory of 'nature is inherently evil', believing that human nature is inherently evil and that one should not suppress one's nature.
, instead you should indulge your desires, which he calls 'doing as you please'."
An Ruqiao spoke softly, her voice was very low, but it was enough to be heard clearly between the two of them.
At this point, An Ruqiao coughed twice. When Xie Jingchen heard her cough, he stretched out his hand to pat her and help her breathe easier. He also added, "This theory is a bit ridiculous... and it's very old-fashioned."
An Ruqiao calmed down and continued, "Although it is old-fashioned, it is very useful. Most people in RL regard the prophet's words as truth."
"Is it because the members of the RL organization are all bad people? For example...perverts like the previous criminal Liu Kuo?"
An Ruqiao chuckled after hearing what he said. This man was a bit too naive.
"On the contrary, the members of the rl organization not only don't have a few bad guys, but they are all good people. There are only a few like Liu Kuo. Almost all the low-level members have never done a bad thing before joining the rl. They are all those
A person who is willing to devote himself to others.
However, it is this so-called ‘good people’ in popular values who prefer to seek refuge from prophets, and even regard prophets as gods who save them.”
"Why is this?" Xie Jingchen didn't quite understand.
An Ruqiao moved, and this time Xie Jingchen let go of his hand, allowing An Ruqiao to turn around and face him face to face in an extremely close situation.
An Ruqiao's powerful night vision ability allowed her to clearly see the outline of Xie Jingchen's face. An Ruqiao stretched out her hand, and as soon as it touched Xie Jingchen's face, he held it and placed it on his heart.
"Because, they've suffered enough.
Things in the world are so strange. Good people don't live long, and disasters are left for thousands of years. They kill people and set fires with gold belts, but they build bridges and repair roads without corpses. They are good people, endure everything, and do everything for the sake of others. Most of the time, before getting others
A little bit of gratitude will also make others think you are easy to bully, and they will try their best to squeeze the value out of you.
It's like an old farmer who has worked hard all his life to support his son in school, but no one comes to save him when he gets sick. Or it's like a teacher who has devoted his whole life to teaching, but in the end he has to bear the reputation of reducing the labor force in the village.
More often than not, they are ordinary people. They are not the kind of saints who do all good things, but they have never done any bad things, have not harmed anyone, and they will not even throw away garbage, but bad luck will happen.
descend upon them.
Girls who were robbed and raped on their way home from get off work after school, were squeezed by their bosses, bullied by their colleagues, and were eventually fired to make way for the boss's son, students who were tortured by school violence...
After they have suffered, they will ask, 'Why me?'
They are obviously trying very hard to be good people, so why are they the ones suffering?
Are there gods in the world? Isn’t it said that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil? Why should good people suffer?"
