Chapter 7254 (Seven Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty-Four) Melon

Brown-Handed Man said, "That's true. Looking back now, the process of 'appearing' was actually quite painful."

"You mean you think those processes were painful when you look back now?" Grayhand asked.

“Yes, but in that situation, I wasn’t completely oblivious,” the brown-handed man said.

“I understand,” Grayhand said. “Even back then, although we were numb, we still felt something.”

The brown-handed man asked, "I want to ask you a question. If you could be completely free of these feelings at that time, would you be willing?"

Before the gray-handed man could answer, the brown-handed man continued, "Let me put it this way, many years ago, if there was a melon in front of you, and if you ate it, you would have no feelings about what would happen in the future, would you have chosen to eat it?"

Grayhand said, "Right now I really want to eat a melon, just a regular one."

"Are you interrupting?" the brown-handed man chuckled. "Are you still thinking about how to answer my question, or are you avoiding it?"

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Can't it be neither?"

The brown-handed man said, "Of course it could be neither, but there must be other reasons, right? Even if some people might say or do things for no reason, what you just said couldn't have been without reason, could it? At least, it doesn't seem like it to me."

“You don’t look like it, you’re quite good,” said the gray-handed man.

"What do you mean by 'pretty good'?" the brown-handed man asked. "Is there any other way to describe it, like or unlike it?"

“Actually, I just wanted to say ‘not bad,’ but I realized that saying ‘pretty good’ would easily cause a brief misunderstanding, so I said that instead,” said the gray-handed man.

"Are you deliberately causing a misunderstanding? You're not trying to prevent a misunderstanding, you're deliberately causing one. Why is that?" the brown-handed man asked. "You asked 'why' again," the gray-handed man laughed.

"Don't tell me there's no reason. Of course, even if you say that, there's nothing I can do," said the brown-handed man.

"Actually, it was just a fleeting thought that saying it was kind of funny, so I said it," Grayhand said. "The reason I said it was funny is because it was funny. If I had just told you 'not bad,' you would have immediately known that I meant you guessed right. But if I deliberately said 'pretty good,' you would have misunderstood for a short time that I meant you meant that what you just said was 'pretty good.' I just thought it was quite interesting. You don't think I'm being silly, do you?"

“What are you thinking?” the Brown-Handed Man laughed. “What does this have to do with ‘boredom’? It’s interesting that you can bring up ‘boredom’.”

The gray-handed man chuckled, "If you don't find it 'boring,' that's even better. Anyway, I've already given you the answer. I wonder if this answer satisfies you?"

“Satisfied,” the brown-handed man chuckled. “But you still haven’t told me why you didn’t just answer me directly whether you would eat that melon.”

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Would you believe me if I told you?"

“Speak, I want to hear it,” said the brown-handed man.

"If I tell you and you still don't believe me, then what's the point of listening?" the gray-handed man asked.

“Of course! And it’s of great significance!” the brown-handed man laughed.

"What does it mean?" the gray-handed man asked.

“I’ve already heard what you’ve said,” the brown-handed man said with a smile.
