Chapter 563 (2/2)

To distract them from their loneliness, they would take more notice of others, trying to forget that they were individuals of their own.

Conversely, this might be the representation of their desire for others to take notice of them.

Others were mirrors that reflected light upon them.

Essentially, others were nothing more than virtual images seen through their own filters, so there was only one existence – themselves.

In the end, people only thought about themselves.

Asking others in the world what they were doing was nothing more than an act to compare themselves to others, and learn of where they stood in the grand scale of the world. These people were merely reflecting on the actions carried throughout their meager existences.

Stepping on others to prove oneself. It lacked sincerity. If it lacked sincerity, it was a wrong method.

Therefore, only loneliness was justice. Loneliness was the correct solution.

In Du Hang’s opinion, Zhao Youyue was the correct solution. She fell victim to baseless rumors because she suddenly shot up into recognition, against her own will. Others who could not share her fame had to somehow pull her down to remain relevant.

This was sad, but this was just how the world worked. He knew that he could not change the world. He could only share his justice with his readers.

Du Hang had instantly seen through the truth behind the rumors, but he was too lazy to stand up and do something for Zhao Youyue. Moreover, he would definitely not go up to Zhao Youyue and tell her that he believed in her and such, even if he knew that this might gain her favor.

What was the point? If he were to deal with the rumors, he would only stand in the line of unnecessary fire —- —- He could divert their attention by doing something even more outrageous than what those rumors purported. In the end, he would be the only one getting hurt.

Du Hang had already attempted this, many times over during high school. He soon learned that it was not the solution – it only delayed the inevitable.

In the process, he had learned much of the world and much about himself. It was better to lean back and wait for the world to change – if it could. If the situation spins wildly out of control that even the enigmatic Zhao Youyue starts to break down, his help might just become necessary. Consider him returning the goodwill given to him on the other day. She may have faked it, but he did not have to return it in kind. He would be sincere.

Most gratifyingly, he had found the truth of the universe. Zhao Youyue was the correct solution to every problem. All by herself, she had torn through all her obstacles with sheer, brute sincerity.

Over the past few days, photos of Zhao Youyue in her military outfit quickly spread all over the internet. As a “military training goddess,” she soared with popularity. Many netizens began to dig deeper into her identity. The truth shook them to the core!

Was this not Miss Ah Yu? If it was not for her recent military training photos, her fans would have almost forgotten how Ah Yu looked like. She had not turned her camera on for such a long time. Moreover, photos of her on the internet were quite scarce, so much so that rumors were going around saying that Miss Ah Yu had been imprisoned her legendary family. Thus, she was no longer allowed to show her face…

Now that her pure, refreshing military training photos have finally made it on the internet, this has, of course, given Ah Yu’s hardcore loyal fans a big, pleasant surprise. Some people mentioned that Ah Yu was currently embroiled in disparaging, slanderous rumors that went all around her university. Of course, in a short time, her fans quickly rose to defend their champion!
