Chapter 71 This kid isn't stupid
[That would be to become a tycoon, with immense wealth, richer than a country.]
"Can't I be a little more ambitious? I choose to enter politics, govern a region, and bring benefits to the people."
[Dude, did you go crazy writing all those reports as a temporary worker?]
I think we should still have some aspirations. As human beings, we should naturally strive to leave a lasting legacy and be remembered in history.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunxi finally gave her answer.
"To sacrifice oneself to contribute to society?"
Xu An looked at her with surprise.
They are quite dedicated.
He shook his head.
"We've moved beyond the era when we all needed to contribute."
What constitutes success?
Although she didn't speak, the meaning conveyed in the girl's eyes was quite clear.
Seeing her inquisitive gaze, Xu An smiled and said in a tone tinged with emotion:
"The so-called wealth that rivals a country, the fame that goes down in history, and the great achievements that last for a thousand years are nothing compared to one thing: living your life the way you like."
After saying that, Xu An looked at Zhang Yunxi, who was somewhat stunned, and said with a smile, "Are you happy with your current lifestyle? If you are, then you don't need to worry about too much."
"When you get older, you'll understand how difficult it is to find this kind of pure happiness that isn't mixed with other factors."
But you're not that much older than me, are you?
Zhang Yunxi gave Xu An, who looked rather strange, a strange look on his face.
Although he found it a bit strange, Zhang Yunxi had to admit that Xu An's words did reassure him quite a bit.
Not only did Xu An's words make a lot of sense, but more importantly, he was the first person to affirm that she was normal and had no problems whatsoever.
Thinking of this, without even realizing it, she found that the corners of her mouth had quietly turned up.
Until she heard Xu An's surprised words.
"Yunxi, so you can smile after all?"
Like a startled little animal, the smile on Zhang Yunxi's lips vanished instantly. Then, her elegant face showed a hint of panic as she left behind a single sentence.
"I'm going to pick vegetables."
He then turned around and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Xu An smiled slightly.
Now, surely no one will disturb him from having a good nap?
The thought had barely crossed Xu An's mind when he heard a gasp of surprise.
"Brother Xu, I never knew you were the real wise man. You're right, living life the way you love is the most important thing!"
Looking at Li Yang, who seemed to be on steroids, Xu An blinked.
"You mean that? I just said it offhand."
"ah???"
Li Yang, who was so convinced by Xu An's words that he even considered quitting the group, was dumbfounded when he saw Xu An's matter-of-fact expression.
His voice was filled with disbelief.
"You were lying to Yunxi just now?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An gave him a strange look.
"Of course I'm not lying. Yunxi is still in college. I'm just letting him retain his beautiful illusions about society."
Hearing this, Li Yang suddenly felt his newly ignited passion for pursuing his dreams fade. Even so, he still asked, unwilling to give up:
"So what you're actually trying to say is???"
"Success means making a lot of money! Otherwise, why would I participate in the show!"
Xu An said it as a matter of course.
Li Yang: ...
Not to mention him, even many viewers in the live stream who were deep in thought were caught off guard by his sudden turn of events.
Okay, okay, I thought you'd really become a philosopher, but it turns out you were just fooling this little girl who's naive.
[It felt so numb, I was totally fooled. Am I being too worldly and vulgar?]
[This is what happens when you've never worked before; after a few days of working, you stop thinking about what you want to do with your life.]
[Does all you think about is going home after get off work, lying down, and watching videos?]
[Spying on me?]
"Brother Xu, isn't this a bit too tacky?"
Li Yang still finds it a little hard to accept.
Upon hearing this, Xu An glanced at him sideways and said irritably:
"You'll give me half of your appearance fee on the show?"
"On the other hand, making money is indeed very important."
In an instant, Li Yang's eyes cleared.
Hey, this kid isn't stupid!
Xu An looked regretful and waved his hand, "Alright, go pick the vegetables. Don't forget to call me when you're done!"
"So, that's your excuse for slacking off all afternoon?"
Inside the small house, Bai Ge looked at the sleepy-eyed Xu An, then at Li Yang and Zhang Yunxi carrying loads of vegetables on their backs. Her lips twitched slightly, and she glared at him as if she were seeing her own unruly child.
"Xiao Li and Yun Xi are still young, wouldn't it be better for them to exercise more?"
Xu An, quite embarrassed, said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin, who had appeared out of nowhere, said irritably:
"Xiao Li is two years older than you, and even Yun Xi is only one year younger than you. How come you talk about us as if we're the same age?"
"Ahem, there is a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own area of expertise."
"Is that how you use that phrase?"
"I'll go to the kitchen to see how Wanwan's vegetable chopping is going."
Seeing Bai Ge's eyebrows furrow again, Xu An immediately used a microphone-breaking and retreat combo to run behind her.
Xu An rushed into the kitchen, but stopped involuntarily when he saw Shen Wanwan chopping vegetables.
Seemingly unaware of Xu An's approach, Shen Wanwan quietly lowered her soft eyelashes, her fair fingers gently pressing down on the verdant melon slices. With each stroke of the knife, a fine and even "tap-tap" sound was heard.
After finishing cutting, Shen Wanwan put the knife aside, raised her hand and gently tucked the strands of hair in front of her behind her ear, but inadvertently saw Xu An standing at the kitchen door.
"Brother An! You're back?"
In an instant, the girl's pure, doe-like eyes filled with surprise, and then, instinctively, she turned and ran to Xu An.
Seeing Shen Wanwan's delighted expression, Xu An couldn't help but smile as well. He said with a smile:
"I'm getting a lecture from Sister Bai Ge, so I came to hide here with you for a while. You won't betray me, will you?"
"No way!"
Upon hearing Xu An's last words, Shen Wanwan's clear voice immediately rang out. Then she looked up and met Xu An's smiling eyes.
"Uncle~"
Shen Wanwan said coquettishly.
Seeing the interaction between the two in the live stream made me incredibly jealous.
[An Gou, when are you going to die?]
[I can't take it anymore! If Wanwan could call me that, I'd gladly shorten my lifespan by thirty years!]
[Insufficient funds. By the way, I'm willing to pay for fifty years!]
[I don't believe it, this must be scripted. Chen Hong, you'll stop at nothing to create hype!]
There are Xu An's haters and Shen Wanwan's fans who are furious, and of course there are also CP fans who are crazy about shipping them.
Okay, okay, that's it, that's exactly what I wanted to see!
[Lock the "Goodnight" combo in your heart!]
