Chapter 111 Making peace with yourself
Chapter 111 Making peace with yourself
Walking on the street, Meng Yanchen saw many people wearing masks. Some were hurrying on their way, while others were strolling leisurely. Everyone was working hard for their own and others' health.
He recalled the various teachings he had received in school, about how to prevent disease and how to protect himself and others. These teachings became particularly important at this time, and he deeply understood his responsibilities and obligations.
Walking on the street wearing a mask, Meng Yanchen felt a sense of mission. He was determined to do his best to not only protect himself, but also try his best to protect those around him, so that everyone can spend this special period safely and healthily.
Meng Yanchen walked on the busy streets wearing a mask, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He began to observe the people around him, trying to judge each person's personality and state based on their behavior and expressions.
He noticed a neatly dressed, elegant lady, who walked briskly, smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood. Meng Yanchen speculated that she might be an optimistic, cheerful, positive person, full of hope and longing for life.
Then, he saw a young man wearing thick glasses and walking hurriedly with his head down. There was a hint of anxiety and tension on his face, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. Meng Yanchen guessed that he might be an introverted and anxious person, and might have some anxiety and troubles.
Walking on the street, Meng Yanchen kept observing the people around him, trying to find some clues from their behavior and expressions. He realized that everyone has different personalities and mentalities, but at the same time he also understood that everyone's mood may be affected by external factors and cannot be easily judged.
He strives to remain objective and rational, and does not easily define others. Instead, he hopes to learn more about each person's story, understand their situation, and establish a more sincere connection with them.
An impulse surged in Meng Yanchen's heart. He thought of Xu Qin and the misunderstanding and estrangement between them. He felt that it was time to solve this problem. He didn't want the misunderstanding to continue, and he didn't want to lose this precious friendship.
So, he decided to find Xu Qin and have a face-to-face discussion. He knew that he needed to face his mistakes and bravely admit them in order to truly solve the problem.
Crossing the bustling streets, Meng Yanchen arrived at Xu Qin's door. He was a little nervous, not knowing how Xu Qin would react, but he knew he had to take this step, otherwise the estrangement would continue.
He knocked on Xu Qin's door and waited for a response. A moment later, the door opened and Xu Qin appeared at the door with a hint of surprise and confusion on his face.
"Meng Yanchen, what are you doing here?" Xu Qin asked, with a hint of alienation in her tone.
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Xu Qin, I came to you to have a good talk with you."
Xu Qin frowned slightly after hearing this, "What are you talking about?"
Meng Yanchen felt his throat was a little dry, but he forced himself to stay calm. "I know there are some misunderstandings and unhappiness between us, but I don't want this problem to continue. I want to sit down with you and have a good communication to solve the problem between us."
Xu Qin listened, was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay, come in."
At Xu Qin's house, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin sat down and started their conversation. Although the atmosphere between them was a little tense, Meng Yanchen tried to stay calm and rational, trying to find a solution to the problem.
However, halfway through the conversation, Meng Yanchen noticed that Xu Qin's expression was a little distorted, and he found that Xu Qin was trying hard to endure something.
"Xu Qin, what's wrong with your foot?" Meng Yanchen immediately noticed that there was some swelling in Xu Qin's right ankle, and he immediately asked with concern.
Xu Qin tried to downplay her injury, "It's nothing, maybe I twisted it accidentally."
But Meng Yanchen did not miss this detail. He immediately stood up and prepared to check Xu Qin's injuries.
"Let me take a look, maybe I can help you deal with it." Meng Yanchen's tone was full of care and warmth.
Xu Qin hesitated, but finally nodded and stretched out his injured foot. Meng Yanchen carefully checked and confirmed that Xu Qin's ankle was indeed injured, so he began to give Xu Qin simple first aid.
As they were treating their injuries, the atmosphere between Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin became much more relaxed. They began to communicate, talking about each other's lives and experiences, and gradually established a deeper friendship.
After helping Xu Qin treat her injured foot, Meng Yanchen felt happy and a little hungry. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten spicy food for a long time, and a strong desire surged in his heart.
"Xu Qin, are you interested in spicy mixed soup?" Meng Yanchen couldn't help but ask, hoping to taste this delicious snack with Xu Qin.
Xu Qin listened and smiled slightly, "Spicy mixed? It sounds good. I like it too."
Seeing Xu Qin's willingness, Meng Yanchen immediately stood up and prepared to go out. On the way, they chatted and gradually became relaxed and happy. Xu Qin's expression also gradually relaxed, and it seemed that her attitude towards Meng Yanchen had changed.
When they arrived at the spicy hotpot restaurant, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin chatted while tasting the delicious spicy hotpot. The spicy and numbing tastes intertwined on the tip of their tongues greatly satisfied their taste buds and made them feel happy.
After eating the spicy hot pot, they strolled along the street in the night, enjoying the coolness of the night. Xu Qin's smile was brighter than before, as if all the unhappiness was thrown behind her.
During this pleasant night, Meng Yanchen felt that the relationship between him and Xu Qin had become closer. He realized that through communication and exchanges, Xu Qin had gradually accepted him, and the friendship between the two had also deepened.
Meng Yanchen had an epiphany in his heart, realizing that it was more important to have a dialogue with his own heart than to have a dialogue with others. He understood that everyone in life will encounter setbacks and difficulties, and how to face these challenges depends on their inner strength and determination.
Sitting in a quiet room, Meng Yanchen began to reflect on his emotions and behavior. He realized that being angry and furious would only make his mood worse instead of solving the problem. He was determined to learn to control his emotions and face the difficulties and challenges in life with a more rational and calm attitude.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He began to listen to his inner voice and tried to understand his emotions and needs. He understood that only by reconciling with himself could he truly gain inner peace and tranquility.
