Chapter 909 That's not how it is!
“Parker is really down right now, aren’t you going to go and comfort him?” Greck asked his wife.
“No, he’s an adult now and needs to learn to manage his emotions. I need to protect something more important for him!” The wife stared intently at Greg, as if afraid that Parker would lose his father.
"What were you two doing just now? Why were you kneeling on one knee? You weren't confessing your love, were you?" The wife was quite concerned about this.
"How could you have such an idea?" Grek asked, both amused and exasperated.
"Melina told me that this girl, Seren, recently broke up with her boyfriend, and that she's so beautiful, any man would be attracted to her, right?" the wife said.
"Would Melina tell you something like this?" Grek asked, puzzled. Melina is usually quite tight-lipped.
“I’m working on a new novel, a campus romance. I just wanted to get some material from Melina, and that’s when she told me about it.”
"She said Serenity was a monster, someone who would give up love for some kind of truth." There was a scrutinizing look in the wife's eyes.
In her eyes, a woman who can easily let go of love is almost the same as a bad woman. Because the wife believes love is a woman's core value, just as a man's core value is his career.
A man who gives up his career is not a good man, and a woman who gives up love is not a good woman either.
The wife had actually planned to create a villainous second female lead based on Se-ryeon.
Because the wife had such thoughts, her perspective on Se-lien was naturally somewhat distorted.
"Is that how Melina sees me? Well, she really thinks highly of me," Seren said with a smile.
“Haven’t you always been like this, teacher? Whether it’s pursuing the truth of magic or the fundamental truth of this world, you’ve always been so decisive.” After saying this, Grek and Seren exchanged a smile.
Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, the wife began to feel sad again.
"Dio! You promised me! You can't love anyone else!" the wife said, feeling wronged.
“Alright~ Serenity and I are just teacher and student. She was my teacher in her past life, and I learned my destiny magic from her,” Grek explained.
The woman was startled by his words. "Fate magic? You mean that kind of precognitive magic?"
"Yes," Dio nodded.
"Ah..." The lady looked at Seren with a hint of fear in her eyes.
“So you don’t need to worry, I won’t have any designs on my teacher,” Grek assured him.
“Oh~” The lady lowered her head.
As long as Dior could give her an answer, that would be enough; the lady was easily satisfied.
Meanwhile, the surrounding classmates excitedly gathered around. The debate between Serenity and Parker had been so captivating that even though it had ended some time ago, the students were still eager for more. They kept discussing every detail of the debate.
“Selian, could you give us a lecture? We also want to build an ideal world in our hearts. We also want to contribute to the selfless will of the world.”
The students' eyes burned with fervent passion.
“If you’re willing to listen, then I’m willing to talk,” Seren smiled.
"Shall we go to the class together?" Grek asked his wife.
"I don't want to listen to the lesson, Dior. Let's go find that little Dragon King. I just saw him over there. He's heartbroken right now, he must be very sad." The wife pointed in a direction.
“That’s fine, maybe you can try to persuade him.” Grek nodded.
So the two groups said goodbye, and Seren and his classmates went to give lectures nearby. Meanwhile, Greck and his wife went to find the Dragon King.
Meanwhile, the Dragon King sat in a corner at the other end of the hall. His eyes were calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Hello, Dragon King!" the wife greeted him as she walked over.
She came here partly to persuade the Dragon King and Seren to reconcile. But more importantly, she wanted to gather material for her novel.
So whether the persuasion is successful or not, it's a win for the wife.
After all, before, the Dragon King and Seren were practically the male and female protagonists of the novel that the author had envisioned. Because their templates were simply too perfect.
However, Seol-ryeon's status has now dropped, and she has become the second female lead.
The wife also fantasized about whether another destined heroine would descend upon the Dragon King's side.
With mixed feelings, the wife sat down opposite the Dragon King. Greck, however, stood a short distance away and did not approach.
Because Grik doesn't want to provoke the Dragon King right now, especially since he just beat him up a few days ago.
When the Dragon King saw his wife, he gave her a polite smile.
"can I help you?"
"Dragon King, I heard from Melina that you and Seren are having some problems in your relationship? Is that true?" The lady went straight to the point.
In her view, the Dragon King was a very magnanimous man. Such a man would likely be very straightforward when it comes to matters of the heart. So, she could just ask directly; the Dragon King probably wouldn't get angry.
However, the Dragon King's behavior was not quite what his wife had expected.
After the Dragon King heard the name Melina, the wife clearly noticed that the corner of his mouth twitched. This detail greatly shocked her.
"Melina is involved in this?! That little brat didn't even tell me!" The wife's clever mind raced, already conjuring up some outrageous details.
"Did Melina tell you this?" the Dragon King asked in a strange tone.
"Um... um! Is there a problem here?" The lady blinked her big eyes. But she couldn't hide the amused look on her face.
"Hehe." The Dragon King showed an expression of being amused and annoyed, but he quickly composed himself.
"The problem between me and Seol-ryeon is not so easy to solve."
"Could you elaborate? After all, there must be a reason for the breakdown of the relationship, right? Was it because someone else came into the picture? Did Seren fall in love with someone else?" the wife asked boldly.
“It’s more serious than that. If it’s just because Seol-ryeon fell in love with someone else and broke up with me, I wouldn’t mind too much, because it’s her choice and I would respect it.”
"But what she likes is not a person, but a kind of reason."
“If I can’t come up with something beyond reason to make Seren change his mind, then there’s basically no chance for us,” the Dragon King said.
"Uh..." The lady's brain seemed to freeze. She recognized every single word the Dragon King said, but when put together, she couldn't quite understand it.
What does it mean to fall in love with reason?
"What is this 'reason'?" the wife asked.
"Simply put, Seren has come to understand some truths by observing his own heart..."
The Dragon King then began to recount the theories that Seren had mentioned.
Upon hearing this theory, the wife, who had been so energetic just moments before, instantly wilted. She felt like she was about to fall asleep on the table any second now.
"Please...please wait a minute, can you be more direct? What exactly is the core of your conflict?" The wife rubbed her temples, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"..." The Dragon King was speechless. This woman in front of him couldn't even understand reason, so how could she possibly help him solve his problems?
However, the Dragon King did indeed need someone to confide in.
So he patiently explained, "To put it simply, in that theory, Seren came to the conclusion that she was one with the will of Heaven, and the will of Heaven encompasses all living beings."
"This encompassing power is absolute; every thought in the mind of every living being is under the sway of divine will. Therefore, the thoughts and ideas of every living being are transparent to divine will."
"To put it another way, all living beings are composed of the will of Heaven."
"The ultimate summary is that all things are one."
"That is why every individual in the face of destiny should cherish one another, because we are all one."
"Having understood this, Seren began to love all life, not just any particular life. Do you understand?"
The wife forced herself to listen to the Dragon King's narration. She didn't understand most of the beginning, but she understood the last sentence.
"...Seren began to love all life, not just any particular life..."
The wife's clever mind automatically translated this...
"Selian has indeed fallen for someone else! But the object of her affections is everyone! Uh... is that outrageous?" The wife was dumbfounded.
"I thought Seren just liked Melina, but now it seems that Seren's problem is more serious than I imagined," the wife thought to herself.
"So do you think you can help me?" the Dragon King asked calmly.
"Ah...this...this..." The wife stared blankly.
"Heh~" The Dragon King chuckled and prepared to get up and leave.
"Wait a minute! That's right! I know!" The lady suddenly remembered her earlier conversation with Dior.
Dio once said that fate will grant everyone's wishes. In other words, as long as the Dragon King's desire is strong enough, fate will surely help him achieve it.
The Dragon King raised an eyebrow. "What do you know?"
“I know how to get you two back together,” the wife said excitedly.
The Dragon King was very surprised to hear this. He sat back down and prepared to listen to his wife's profound opinion.
The wife simply repeated Dior's words.
"So do you understand now? The reason you broke up is because of you! Your desire wasn't strong enough! You must make your wish heard by the God of Fate! Do you understand, Dragon King? You can't give up!"
The Dragon King was stunned for a moment, but his expression became quite strange.
Seeing the Dragon King's expression, the wife comforted him, "Don't you want to make that wish? You're still angry, aren't you?"
"I understand how you feel, but to win back your lover, you have to make some sacrifices. Please put aside your pride for now! Only by loving others can you love yourself."
After listening to his wife's story, the Dragon King finally smiled.
He said to his wife, "Thank you. I've figured it out now."
"Haha! That's right! Go ahead and love bravely!" the wife exclaimed, waving her little fist in excitement.
"I will no longer cling to my love for Serenity," the Dragon King said.
"Yes! Yes! That's it... Wait, no! No! That's not what I meant! What... what are you thinking?!" The wife was bewildered.
She was trying to reconcile them, but how did she end up breaking them up instead?
"As you said, each of us comes into this world carrying wishes. And fate will fulfill everyone's wishes."
"So everything I've experienced in this life is a wish from my past lives."
"Even Seol-ryeon breaking up with me was my wish. So what is there for me to cling to?"
The Dragon King's expression became quite calm.
"Huh??? That's not how you understand it! You've got it backwards!" the wife exclaimed anxiously.
“Your reasoning is excellent. It helps me understand why thoughts arise in our minds, because those thoughts also come from our own desires.”
“Each time they appear, it means their wish has been fulfilled. But if we are not satisfied, new wishes will arise, which will keep our thoughts going.”
"Thoughts are like this, and so is life."
"Everything we encounter in this life is fate helping us fulfill our wishes. Since that's the case, we should feel content every single moment. Because every single moment we are in now is a wish being fulfilled by fate."
