"Facing existence from the perspective of emptiness and facing emptiness from the perspective of existence are two different life choices. If we blindly pursue ’existence,’ treating life as reality, when the day cos that we lose it, we will be in great pain and beco passive. If we face life from the perspective of ’nothingness,’ letting go of the images and attachnts in our hearts, that’s true freedom. When you start fearing the future, you’re already viewing it from the level of existence..."
Ning Youguang chuckled, "Yes, I’m already facing this matter."
Professor Yu had a look of "I see through your little tricks" on his face, "I knew you were not indifferent. Since that’s the case, why not update yourself?"
"I..." Ning Youguang bit her lip.
"In the past, when I told you to fall in love, you said you didn’t need it. Now that you’ve t soone, you understand, right?" Professor Yu laughed, "Love is sothing that happens naturally. We can’t force ourselves to love everything, but we also can’t deceive ourselves, loving but still pretending to be indifferent."
"Teacher, I really need a little ti to adjust myself." Ning Youguang drank the tea in her cup.
"Of course." Professor Yu nodded.
"Thank you, teacher."
She knew that her teacher saw through her powerlessness and fear on the path of love, so he particularly sought to awaken and inspire her, "I won’t force myself to love, but if I am truly moved, I will be brave."
Life is short; follow your heart.
As she left Professor Yu’s office, Ning Youguang looked at the fallen leaves on the playground and began to think about the feasibility of becoming a couple with that kid.
At least, freeloading food and drinks would be very convenient.

August 26, 2025, on Weibo.
[An Ordinary Person: Slowly learn about the world, slowly update yourself.]
After posting on Weibo, Ning Youguang scrolled through the questions netizens asked her and selected one to reply to:
[An Ordinary Person: It’s okay to be imperfect; wishing you well! //@Li Datou is Cat Brother: Ning, what does your perfect love look like?]
The Weibo account "An Ordinary Person" of the ga-celebrity psychology influencer receives countless comnts and likes with each post; this was not surprising.
No matter how lively the virtual world is, it can hardly affect people’s real lives.
But today was a little different.
Because Ning touched upon the topic of "love."
...
It was a weekend that day.
After waking up naturally, Ning Youguang went to her father and aunt’s house.
Ming Chao happened to take Ning Youyu out to play.
Ming Jinxin pulled her along to tidy and organize items at ho.
The female CEO’s walk-in closet was spacious and bright, filled with clothes, shoes, jewelry, and bags.
Ming Jinxin stood in front of the wardrobe, opened the door, and began taking out, one by one, the clothes she decided to declutter.
"I’ve been working out recently, seeing significant results. These clothes are loose when I wear them; let’s get rid of them all."
"How are you going to deal with them?" Ning Youguang stood behind her, helping categorize and fold the unwanted clothes based on functionality.
Ming always had the problem most won have: loving to shop but not enjoying organizing.
"Either give them away, donate them, or clean them and use them as pajamas when traveling—wear one and toss one." She turned her head, "I need to clear out the wardrobe to make room for new ones, leaving no retreat for myself."
Ning Youguang laughed, "What do you an by leaving no retreat? Truly having no retreat is not buying."
Ming Jinxin shivered, hugging herself, "That’s too harsh; I can’t do it."
After thinking a mont, she added, "You know what? Yesterday, on a whim, I bought a bunch of snacks and yogurt, and today, when the delivery arrived, I gave it all to the property manager without even opening the boxes. I found it made happy."
Ning Youguang was speechless, "Happy buying things, happy giving them away, happier not eating them yourself?"
Ming Jinxin laughed uncontrollably, "Yes."
She turned back to the wardrobe and took out a shirt, "Look at this shirt; how is it?"
"Looks great."
"I’ll wear it tomorrow then."
Ming Jinxin happily hung the shirt on another side and stood in front of her bag collection, gazing at the branded bags in a daze.
Ning Youguang asked, "What’s wrong?"
She said, "I’m thinking about which bag would go well with tomorrow’s shirt."
Ning Youguang casually pointed to a few simple and elegant bags, "I think those would all match well."
Ming Jinxin frowned, "Not really liking them."
She squatted down, pulled open a drawer below the bag shelf, and took out a Burberry box.
Inside was a crossbody bag.
She put it on, "This is a bag I bought in Japan three or five years ago. Do you think it will go with tomorrow’s shirt?"
Ning Youguang thought, [Being a fashionable woman isn’t easy.]
And said aloud, "It’s perfect."
Ming Jinxin was satisfied, "So shopping is the right thing, right?"
"As long as you’re happy." Ning Youguang held back her inner fear.
Ming Jinxin saw her expression and couldn’t understand, "Why don’t you like these things?"
"Because liking has limits; I’ve used mine up and have no quota left for this." Ning Youguang shrugged.
Ming Jinxin handed her a few pieces of clothing, "I still don’t get it, but I respect you."
She closed the wardrobe door happily and continued, "New dresses and shirts will arrive in a few days. I like making money, and I like spending it. I don’t restrict myself on what to buy or not buy. If I like it, I buy it. Even if I don’t like it afterward, it was worth it because there was a mont I did."
Ning Youguang picked up a pile of clothes, "Co over and help open the bag."
Ming Jinxin ca over to shake open the bag, and she neatly placed the clothes inside, "Your liking is very costly."
Ming Jinxin retorted, "Your liking is costly too."
[Why should won make things difficult for won?]
...
After organizing the clothes, shoes, and bags,
Ming Jinxin pulled Ning Youguang to a jewelry cabinet.
She opened a drawer and took out a set of rose gold diamond-studded jewelry, presenting it to her:
"Do you like it? I bought it for you." 1314
