Eternal Burning

He leaned over slowly, with a vague smile on his lips: I've heard about you, do you want to help?

I don't have much to do, just that one recently.

How can you help me? I'm a little curious.

I was outside the door that day, did you do anything, wouldn't I know?

That's right.

I nodded and said: Then I trouble you to testify for me.

But I have a request. The strength of Shang Muxiao's hand became gentle, and his thumb rubbed the back of my hand suggestively, smiling innocently.

He really loves to laugh. This is different from Shang Lu. Shang Lu follows the cool route, and the characters he plays don't like to smile, and they don't smile very well.

What? Looking at this face, I can't help but feel a little dazed.

sleep with me.

It took me a few seconds to realize what he was talking about. It wasn't about inviting me to dinner, nor about failing my class, but...sleeping with me.

As if being scorched by fire, I withdrew my hand suddenly, and said in a tone of unhappiness: Get out.

He looked me up and down, and seeing that I was determined, he raised his hands in a perfunctory gesture of surrender, indicating that he was just joking.

It seems that I really misunderstood you before. Then change it, I will testify for you, and you let me chase you, how about it?

not so good.

Don't be ignorant. I will return what he said to me before.

Shang Muxiao was stunned for a moment, apparently still remembering this sentence. The smile gradually disappeared, he straightened up, and his feet fell to the ground.

Take a bet.

I frowned, not knowing what he was doing again.

Just bet... I will definitely catch up with you. After he finished speaking, he raised the corners of his lips and showed a somewhat naughty smile. If I lose, I will stop pestering you.

What kind of useless bet is this?

Sometimes I really envy these young people, such self-confidence. So confident... People can't help but want to beat them down, to see how they are no longer confident.

a month. I signed up for the deadline, so I accepted the bet.

Shang Muxiao's smile widened, and he understood the meaning of one month almost immediately.

Can.

He glanced at the time on his phone and said: Can I take you back now? There is an additional clause in the bet, you can't deliberately avoid me.

Since it's a bet, it's fair.

I glanced at the unfinished form on the computer, then at Shang Muxiao, and finally turned off the computer.

let's go. I steered the wheelchair and walked out.

A few days later, news came from the Office of Academic Affairs that because a well-meaning student who did not want to be named testified for me, it was Yan Ying who wanted to bribe me, not me who sexually harassed her.

The Office of Academic Affairs then issued a circular, imposing a demerit penalty on Yan Ying for the false accusation. About half a day later, another notification was issued, and Yan Ying was given another demerit for his serious absence from class. Because of Yan Ying's repeated demerits, the principal's office held a meeting and decided to expel her from school.

Chapter 6 Coward

In the small lecture theater, there were more than thirty people sitting scattered. Apart from my lecturing, there was no other noise to be heard.

Shang Muxiao was sitting in the front row, right in the middle, his gaze followed me all the time, and he would write some unknown handwriting from time to time, as if he wasn't the one who was kicked out of the classroom by me last time.

Now it's time for questions. After pausing the ppt, I came to the edge of the podium and faced the students. Everyone can ask questions freely.

Not many people raised their hands, but Shang Muxiao was among them. The bet with him only said that you can't avoid it on purpose, but didn't say that I must order him if he raises his hand. Moreover, subconsciously, I always felt that he would not ask any serious questions.

I turned a blind eye to his positivity quite frankly, skipped him and ordered a male classmate in the back row.

Shang Muxiao withdrew his hand with some dissatisfaction, looked back at the boy I named, and then leaned back on the chair, looking like an old man.

The boy I named didn't know what happened, but he flinched visibly, his voice stuttering a bit.

I, I would like to ask, teacher, can you explain Schopenhauer's Fourfold Roots of the Law of Sufficient Reason in plain language without using philosophical language? He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, I think it's a bit difficult, no... I don't understand it very well.

Philosophy is a very difficult and complicated subject, full of various contradictory and unified theories. It is only taken as an elective course because of interest or forced to take this History of Western Philosophy. It is easy to get confused by complicated philosophical terms.

I nodded to express my understanding, sorted out my words, and said slowly: The Four Roots of the Law of Sufficient Reason, in plain language, is...the four fundamental reasons why everything in the world appears like this. Schopenhauer believes that the reason why the world is different is that people have different ways of expressing themselves.

The first type, intuitive experience constitutes the human

The fundamental view of things, which is inherited by human beings.

The second type is that abstract concepts constitute people's basic judgments on things, which come from people's understanding of things.
