014 The Heart Knot of Ink's Mother 3

At that moment, a complex mix of emotions welled up in his heart.

The sounds from last night still seemed to echo in his ears, but now the surroundings were so quiet that Mo Wenchen even began to doubt whether everything he had heard last night was just a hallucination.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, that familiar voice rang out again.

So he quickly leaned in to listen.

A clear and pleasant voice said, "Good morning, host!"

Then came Chu Jiuyue's slightly weary reply:

"...Good morning, Xiao Ba, you're really dedicated. You know me, I've always been lazy. I was already so tired in my past life, I don't want to do that kind of nine-to-five routine again in this life."

"I just want to lie here and be a 'corpse-lying tribe' member. If I had a big pancake hanging around my neck, I wouldn't even need to get out of bed. I could take a bite when I'm hungry, and if I'm not hungry, I could just keep lying there without moving."

【…】

Xiao Ba was so speechless that he didn't want to say another word, because his host could constantly push the boundaries of his understanding with all sorts of bizarre behavior and words.

The story of "lazy people eating pancakes" is practically tailor-made for me! All I want to do is lie comfortably like a corpse.

Even after being given a second chance at life, Chu Jiuyue still couldn't muster the slightest enthusiasm or desire to face life positively.

She appeared incredibly languid, as if she wanted to turn into a wisp of smoke and vanish from the world at any moment.

Seeing her so passive and lethargic, Mo Wenchen, who was silently observing her from the side, couldn't help but frown deeply.

It's extremely dangerous that my own wife would have such thoughts!

This negative attitude towards life deeply stung Mo Wenchen's heart, and at the same time, it made him feel a surge of worry.

In his view, the things his wife experienced in her previous life must have been extremely heavy and unforgettable, otherwise how could they have brought such a huge blow to her?

However, Mo Wenchen's conjecture is not entirely correct.

It must be admitted that Chu Jiuyue's pessimistic attitude towards life cannot be entirely attributed to the betrayal of those people in her previous life.

In fact, the more crucial reason is that, to date, nothing or no one has been able to become a powerful motivation for her to live actively.

At this moment, she was like a sailboat that had lost its lighthouse guidance, drifting alone on the vast ocean.

The sailboat drifted aimlessly with the current, feeling neither the excitement and thrill of exploring the unknown nor finding a clear direction to move forward.

The sea was so calm it was almost deathly still, and this unchanging scene made it even harder for them to feel completely disoriented.

Chu Jiuyue walked aimlessly and in a daze, moving her feet mechanically like a walking corpse.

For someone in such a state, life has become utterly dull and can no longer arouse even the slightest attention or interest in her.

She was merely existing, but she never understood why she was living.

For her, life seemed to have become an empty, tedious, and endless journey.
