Revelation of the Way of Heaven

"I feel like what you're describing is actually the Great Harmony society. The concept of Great Harmony is that social products are extremely abundant and people have a high level of ideological awareness. Among them, 'extremely abundant social products' actually corresponds to common prosperity, and 'people having a high level of ideological awareness' actually corresponds to everyone becoming a saint," Guo Shiyi analyzed. As expected of a top student, she remembered all the dry theoretical knowledge in the book perfectly.

Qin Xiaochuan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, that's indeed the case. It's clear that this should be the ultimate goal guided by the Heavenly Dao."

"However, it's still a bit idealistic. Judging from the current situation, there's still a long way to go to reach that point," Guo Shiyi said.

"Of course, it won't happen overnight; it requires the joint efforts of everyone. To achieve this goal, three things need to be done: First, the rationalization of material resources and distribution. I think we can refer to the Yunmengze model; second, spiritual guidance; and third, the transformation of educational philosophy. The transformation of educational philosophy is the most crucial factor. Do you still remember Teacher Zhou Cheng?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.

"Of course I remember." Guo Shiyi nodded.

Qin Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now I understand why the demon race wanted to kill him. To achieve educational reform, the educational philosophy must be reformed first. Teacher Zhou's ideas are actually a transformation of the educational philosophy. The demon race has obviously realized this as well, so they wanted to suppress him before his ideological system matured. From this, we can also see that the demon race's control over the world's thoughts is ubiquitous."

Upon hearing this, Guo Shiyi fell into deep thought and said, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense and is feasible. However, it's not easy to change people's mindsets in modern times."

"Actually, it's not that difficult," Qin Xiaochuan said. "Have you ever thought that once the education reform is successful, and young people aged 15 to 25 now accept the new ideas, then in 20 years, they will be 35 to 45 years old and become the backbone of society? At that time, the whole society will be completely transformed. So, ideological transformation is not that difficult. It will be completed in 20 years at most."

"That makes sense." Guo Shiyi couldn't help but smile. "Hearing you say that makes me feel more and more that what we're doing now is so meaningful. I feel full of hope for the future, and I even feel that Gonggong is not such a big deal anymore, hehe."

Qin Xiaochuan smiled at her and affectionately flicked her nose. Guo Shiyi was overjoyed. When Xiaoying saw this, she immediately pouted and said, "Uncle, I want some too." She then stretched her face over Guo Shiyi's shoulder.

Qin Xiaochuan could only flick her nose and complain, "Look at you, your mouth is all oily."

After Qin Xiaochuan's words of comfort, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more relaxed and pleasant. After dinner, at Guo Shiyi's suggestion, the four of them played cards. When it was time for bed, Guo Shiyi suddenly said to Han Kexin, "Kexin, how about I sleep with you tonight?"

Qin Xiaochuan looked at her in surprise. The villa that Han Kexin rented was big enough for everyone to have a room. Before, everyone had their own room, even Xiaoying. He didn't expect Guo Shiyi to suddenly make such a request.

"Okay." Han Kexin agreed without hesitation.

That night, the two slept in the same bed. With the lights off, Han Kexin asked casually, "Why do you suddenly want to sleep with me tonight?"

Guo Shiyi clung to Han Kexin's arm, snuggled up to her, and said coquettishly, "Because I want to have a private chat with Sister Kexin."

Han Kexin knew she smelled of alcohol on her breath because she had been drinking, so she lay down on her back and said, "Did you come to keep me company because you thought I was lonely?"

"No, I just wanted to get close to Sister Kexin, hehe." Guo Shiyi denied, and even deliberately rubbed against Han Kexin.

Han Kexin didn't argue with her, but asked softly, "What do you think of Qin Xiaochuan?"

"What, how is it?"

"Don't pretend you don't understand. I'm just asking what you think of him now," Han Kexin said.

"He's always a bit silly and easily gets arrogant. Hmm... he doesn't understand romance at all, and he often needs guidance from others when it comes to relationships," Guo Shiyi said, sticking out her tongue.

"In matters of the heart, boys naturally mature later than girls," Han Kexin said. "Do you think he only has these flaws and no merits?"

"Well, of course he has good points," Guo Shiyi said. "Although he's a bit silly, he's quite sincere, which is probably his biggest advantage. He's also very tolerant, responsible, and attentive. Oh, and he can be quite humorous sometimes." As she said this, she couldn't help but smile knowingly, as if she had thought of something.

Han Kexin turned her head to look at her, then turned back and said, "Seeing how much he's grown, you must be very happy."

"Of course I'm happy, but I'm also a little worried," Guo Shiyi said without any hesitation.

"What are you worried about?" Han Kexin asked, puzzled.

"I'm worried that he's growing too fast and I won't be able to keep up with him," Guo Shiyi said with a slight frown. "Back in Crescent City, he leveled up so quickly that I'm really worried that one day he'll lose interest in me because of the difference in our strength."

"He wouldn't dare! If he dares to betray you, I'll freeze him into an ice pop and throw him into the sea to feed the fish." Han Kexin's voice was calm, but you could tell she was serious.

"Pfft!" Guo Shiyi couldn't help but laugh, and said coquettishly, "Sister Kexin is still the best to me. With Sister Kexin around, I feel at ease."

"Don't worry, he's not that kind of person. Although he can be a little arrogant sometimes, he knows how to reflect on himself," Han Kexin comforted her.

"Yeah, I understand." Guo Shiyi hugged Han Kexin's arm tightly again, and pouted, "How come his strength has improved so quickly? He's a monster."

"This is the strength he should have," Han Kexin said, a complex look flashing in her eyes, then asked, "Have you told him about your concerns?"

"No, actually, my worries aren't that serious. It's just that sometimes I can't help but overthink and get stuck on things," Guo Shiyi added. "If I told him every little thing about my mood, wouldn't that be really annoying?"

"What, are you afraid he won't be able to handle your emotions?" Han Kexin turned her head and twisted her nose.

"No, it's just that I feel like if I always show my insecurity in front of him, I'll seem like a weakling."

"That's true. Men have an instinct to conquer, so never let him think you're someone he can easily manipulate, or he'll inevitably become disloyal." Han Kexin's voice was clear and cold, yet insightful.

"If he ever changes his mind, I'll tie him up with willow branches and throw him into the volcano," Guo Shiyi said with a grin, echoing Han Kexin's earlier words.

"Hmm, that's a good idea," Han Kexin said, though her expression remained indifferent despite her joking tone.

"Hehehe." Guo Shiyi couldn't help but laugh. It took her a while to calm down before she said, "Actually, there's another reason why I didn't tell him. I think we girls should always maintain a bit of independence. Although every girl wants to be unconditionally pampered by someone, that's an unrealistic fantasy. I agree with something Xiao Chuan said: 'We are all bound by reality,' and this is even more true for us girls because we are more thoughtful and consider things more carefully, unlike boys who are more careless and can disregard everything."

Guo Shiyi paused for a moment and continued, "Perhaps it's because of our innate maternal instincts as women. Subconsciously, we consider the survival environment of the next generation, making us more pragmatic and insecure. In this situation, if we become too dependent on someone, we will continuously project this anxiety onto them. Moderate projection is fine; it can inspire their sense of responsibility. However, unrestrained projection can easily provoke resentment and affect the relationship. Therefore, we women must maintain a certain degree of independence. It doesn't necessarily mean economic independence, but at least we must get rid of the mentality of complete dependence. We can use some insecurity to strive to improve our thinking. This will reduce our own troubles and allow us to understand our partner more deeply, thus avoiding many unnecessary conflicts."

After listening to her, Han Kexin looked at the ceiling and pondered, "Your idea is actually the same as cultivating yourself in daily life, using your flaws to improve your character. It seems that you two do indeed share the same values."

"That seems to be the idea," Guo Shiyi said with a grin.

"But I think while you maintain your independence, don't forget to communicate in a timely manner," Han Kexin reminded you.

Guo Shiyi said, "Of course. Maintaining a certain degree of independence can help us communicate more effectively and avoid projecting too much negative emotion, which would otherwise lead to communication being swayed by emotions."

"You've thought this through very well. It seems you've been thinking about these things quite a bit. Have you already started thinking about married life?" Han Kexin teased her.

"No way." Guo Shiyi's face turned red instantly, and she quickly explained, "It's just because I saw my parents divorce when I was a child, so I would often reflect on why two people who originally loved each other ended up becoming enemies, and that's how I came to these insights."

Hearing this, Han Kexin turned to look at her, and said, looking at her still childish face, "You, although you always seem so lively and cheerful, are sometimes so heartbreaking." As she spoke, she twisted her nose again.

"Hehe." Guo Shiyi smiled happily and said, "Sister Kexin, let's go shopping tomorrow."

Han Kexin said, "Aren't you supposed to be recovering from your injury? How come you're able to go shopping?"

"It's okay. I only suffered internal injuries. As long as I don't use my spiritual energy, it won't have much of an impact. Besides, shopping isn't strenuous exercise, so it won't affect me."

Han Kexin said, "In that case, let's go. I haven't been shopping in a long time, and now that you mention it, I really want to go out for a walk."

"Mmm," Guo Shiyi said happily.

"Alright, go to sleep early. You need to be well-rested for tomorrow," Han Kexin said.

Neither of them spoke for a long time. Then, Guo Shiyi suddenly called out softly, "Sister Kexin."

"Mmm," Han Kexin replied, half asleep and half awake, with her eyes closed.

"I hope you can break free from the shackles in your heart soon and truly be happy," Guo Shiyi said softly.

Han Kexin did not answer her question, and the room fell silent again, with only the soft breathing of the two of them remaining.

The bright moon hangs high, constantly radiating its pure white and cool light. From time to time, the chirping of insects can be heard in the night sky, and there is a faint fragrance in the air, which is the scent of osmanthus that wafts from somewhere.

Qin Xiaochuan sat on the rooftop, leaning back in his chair, a can of beer resting on the armrest in his right hand. Gazing at the bright moon, he couldn't help but softly recite: "My heart is like the bright moon, ever pure and clear. I raise my eyes to gaze upon heaven and earth, and reflect upon the Buddha. All beings rise and fall, yet I illuminate them all in the ten directions. I love this courtyard, where the gentle breeze blows into the night."

As his voice faded, a cool breeze swept over him, and he felt a peace he had never known before.
