"Why is your house so empty?" Xie Yizun was shocked, "There isn't even a sofa in the living room, how can anyone live in it?"
"Why can't people live in it?" Ning Youguang said with a smile, "There are no sofas, but chairs, futons, and floors. You can sit anywhere."
"The chairs and futons are uncomfortable." Xie Yizun felt disgusted and continued to look at the surrounding environment, "The house is so empty, doesn't it feel very cold?"
"No." Ning Youguang smiled, "I don't feel cold, I just feel peaceful."
"It's indeed quite quiet." Xie Yizun nodded, "It's also quite nice, but it doesn't feel like a place where ordinary people would live."
"Then who do you think is suitable for living here?" Ning Youguang asked funnyly.
"An artist." Xie Yizun said, "The kind with a very unique personality."
"Thank you for the compliment." Ning Youguang took the initiative to understand his brother's comments.
Xie Yizun was speechless for a second. He didn't want to praise her sister.
"Sister, why do you like your home to be empty?"
Ning Youguang said with a smile, "Because the American novelist Cabell said, 'Those who have nothing save themselves from a worldly debt, but their bodies can still enjoy a lot of happiness.'"
"..." Xie Yizun looked confused.
He couldn't understand it at all.
Shi Wangyue smiled and helped to explain, "Your sister said that if we live in an empty environment, we can experience more and purer fun, the kind that is free from material things."
"Oh." Xie Yizun seemed to understand.
…
More than ten days later, there was no study room.
"Are you happy here during this time?" Ning Youguang planned to have a good chat with Xie Yizun while he was free on the weekend.
"Not bad." Xie Yizun sat on the chair a little.
"Your expression tells me otherwise." Ning Youguang smiled and pushed a bowl of soup in front of Xie Yizun, "Have a try, I just stewed it."
Xie Yizun obediently picked up the spoon and took a sip, "It tastes good."
"If you like to drink more, I cooked a big pot." Ning Youguang said with a smile.
"Yeah." Xie Yizun nodded obediently.
At the same time, he was a little absent-minded.
After quietly taking a few sips of the soup, he put down the spoon and asked Ning Youguang with a depressed face, "Sister, why do I feel more and more unhappy every day when I do what I want to do?"
During this time.
As she said, her sister helped him settle the company and his parents.
So that he can stay by their side with peace of mind.
Here, he actually lived a very comfortable life, very comfortable.
A completely different life from the company.
In the company, there are people watching and taking care of everything. Basically, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work either.
Here, he can do this or that.
I can sleep until nine o'clock every day, I can eat whatever I want, and I can play whatever I want.
Even in the first few nights, he made a fuss about drinking and going to the bar to indulge.
Neither his sister nor brother-in-law restrained him.
Instead, she helped him cover up and took him to the bar personally.
After he entered the bar, he expressed that he really wanted to drink, but they didn't stop him.
These days, they buy him whatever he wants.
Smoking and drinking are not stopped.
He said he wanted a tattoo, so his sister got off work and drove him to find a tattoo artist friend of hers to get a tattoo for him. She also patiently designed the tattoo pattern with him.
Among them, one afternoon.
He woke up with nothing to do, so he called his brother-in-law and said he wanted to go for a ride.
The brother-in-law immediately gave up his work in the company, and more than an hour later, drove a brand-new Lamborghini downstairs at home.
He still remembers deeply that he went downstairs and saw his brother-in-law sitting in a cool sports car, wearing sunglasses and letting him get in. He was so cool and handsome.
Give him a look.
So much so that when he got in the car, his legs were shaking a little.
After the car started, he drove him to a racing track. After driving the car, he thought that he would never forget the feeling of floating, which was so refreshing and exciting.
Also, what made him happiest was the car that his brother-in-law said he would give to him when he could drive.
To be honest, Xie Yizun has never had such a good sports car when he grew up!
It's undeniable.
Being cared for and pampered by them unconditionally.
He felt a deeply shocked and pampered feeling.
In the first few days, he was really happy.
But later on he became increasingly uncomfortable and wanted to go out less and less.
It was as if all his strength had been drained from his body. Nothing about eating, drinking or playing could interest him anymore.
"Really want to know?" Ning Youguang asked his brother.
"Yes." Xie Yizun nodded with a serious look on his face.
Ning Youguang said slowly, "Because things like going to nightclubs, getting tattoos, getting pierced, and getting drunk may seem cool. In fact, these things are not difficult at all. As long as you are willing to do it, you can do it, so the happiness you get from it is also
It won’t last long.”
Xie Yizun lowered his head and asked sheepishly, "What's cooler?"
"What's cooler are the things that are not easy to do, such as reading, working out, studying, making money, and loving people with all your heart. These are things that ordinary people think are boring and difficult to persist." Ning Youguang said warmly, "Do these things that seem to be done on the surface.
It may not seem like something that can make people happy, but when you are really willing to put in the effort to do it, you will feel deep happiness from it.”
"I think..." Xie Yizun raised his head, thought for a while and said, "Although it is tiring to do a lot of training every day in the company, I feel very comfortable and have a sense of satisfaction after every practice.
It makes me feel good.”
"Yes." Ning Youguang chuckled, "That good feeling allows you to experience real happiness. Think about it, can the fashion you have done recently capture that feeling?"
"I can't feel it." Xie Yizun made a serious comparison and said, "I am also happy these days, but the happiness is very short-lived. After the happiness passes, I feel very uncomfortable. But when I am in the company, I feel relaxed after the happiness.
It’s solid.”
"That's right." Ning Youguang said softly, "Enjoyment is an important part of a high-level life, but enjoyment itself does not bring happiness. Sleep, rest, food, material, etc. are all experiences that restore "balance"
, after physical needs cause mental entropy, reorganizing the order of consciousness cannot drive the growth of the soul, nor can it increase the complexity of the self. In other words, although enjoyment helps maintain the order of consciousness, it cannot create new ones in consciousness.
Order, simply put, cannot increase your negative mental entropy."
"What is mental entropy? What is negative mental entropy?" Xie Yizun asked with a puzzled face.
