Chapter 386: Love Is Something You Can Buy At Will
When it came to filming a movie, Shao Xi was still very forward-looking. After all, with the development of technology in the future and even more special effects, everyone would be more accepting.
With this thought in mind, Shao Xi could write whatever he wanted without any restraints.
When Mu Jingzhe had fallen sick, the experience had invoked deep emotions in him. Reality was too cruel. Therefore, he created a world filled with miracles. In his world, even if a person suffered from an incurable illness, they could still be cured. Ordinary illnesses were cured with medicine. As for serious illnesses that couldn’t be treated, they could be cured with love.
As long as there were people who loved you and couldn’t bear to see you die, their love would generate electricity and slowly remove your pain. Therefore, there was a special organization that used love to conquer diseases. This organization had a machine that could generate electricity using love. After persevering every day and filling pills with love, the patient could consume them and recover.
The more ill one was, the more love was needed. The more people there were, the better. There were also kind people who contributed their love. It was like donating blood and doing good deeds.
The protagonist in Shao Xi’s story was based on Mu Jingzhe, but she wasn’t a mother. Instead, she was the director of an orphanage. The director had become the mother of many people and sent off batch after batch of children, giving them a lot of love and exorcising many diseases.
Many children survived because of her, but later on, she fell sick. She had a very serious illness, and the love she needed was beyond normal. Therefore, even in an era when love could work miracles, it was still very difficult to save her.
The children who were still in the orphanage offered their love, and kind-hearted people helped as well. However, their love was still merely a drop in the ocean. It could only relieve some of the pain but couldn’t solve the root of the problem.
A little girl who didn’t want Director Mommy to die tried to contact the children who had moved out previously. The director was old, and the oldest children she had brought up were already in their thirties or forties. Those children had long had a family and a career.
Some people were still in touch because they’d kept doing community service, but most of them had long lost contact because everyone had to work. They were all ordinary people who didn’t have the money to do good deeds.
The little girl contacted each and every one of them, but the result was average. Just as she started feeling disappointed, an older brother who had once been saved by the old director wrote a story about her. He was a reporter, so he called for everyone to come back and save the old director by writing this story.
There were a lot of hardships in the process, but in the end, everyone managed to save the old director. All the children who had left the orphanage returned, and many kind-hearted people came as well.
Mu Jingzhe didn’t know why Shao Xi used the position of an orphanage director. Perhaps it was because of the orphanage in the county, which inevitably reminded her of modern times.
Shao Xi hadn’t finished writing the details, but Mu Jingzhe had seen the plot outline.
This was Shao Xi’s way of thinking—unconstrained and bold. It was nice listening to the story, but when one read the first half, they would realize that this wasn’t purely a warm story but also a very realistic one.
Although love could generate electricity to treat illnesses, there were also people who died of disappointment in his story because they didn’t have enough love.
Just like in the modern era, many illnesses could be treated if one had the money and the means, while others could only die. Many people in Shao Xi’s story had also died.
They couldn’t collect enough love to save themselves. Once they were diagnosed with a terminal illness, they would need a lot of love. However, how could ordinary people have so many people who loved them? Even when the love of kind people was added, it still wasn’t enough.
There were also many instances of people who were wealthy but unloved, so sometimes money couldn’t buy life.
On the other hand, some people were very poor, but because they were well-loved, they managed to defeat their illness in the end.
Some people got a new lease of life, but even more people died unwillingly, feeling desperate.
It was clearly a new way to save one’s life, but it was even more despairing than having an illness that couldn’t be treated with medicine. If something couldn’t be treated with medicine, one could blame it on their destiny. There was clearly hope, but survival remained out of one’s reach. That made it even more disappointing.
This also gave birth to professional love exchange, a fixed exchange of love to prepare for the future. One would thus try their best to love.
Sometimes, if you didn’t have love, you simply didn’t have it. But some people loved indiscriminately and could even sell love to earn a livelihood.
As a result, some people spent a lot of money to buy love. However, love from people who loved indiscriminately didn’t work so well. Therefore, after selling their love for money because of this characteristic, those people got beaten up for revenge because their love wasn’t good enough.
Everything seemed absurd, but it was also extremely realistic. However, the story was also quite warm and it felt like Shao Xi’s style.
After reading the story, Shao Nan wasn’t very satisfied because he felt that one of the characters was based on him. There was a little boy who was especially good at scheming. When he grew up, he became a middleman who sold love. His personality was inexplicably similar to his. All he did was study—which was also something that reminded him of him.
“Did you write me into the story on purpose? And you wrote me like this to boot?”
“I didn’t say it was you.” Shao Xi snorted. Many of the stories he wrote were products of his imagination, but many of them were inspired by the people around him.
Little Bei felt that the brave little girl from the orphanage resembled her a lot because she liked beautiful dresses and styling her hair in different ways. She was very brave as well.
“Brother, if it’s turned into a movie, I’ll portray the little girl.”
“I’m not sure if it can be filmed yet, but if it can, I’ll definitely let you act. I just don’t know if you’ll still be a little girl when that time comes. You might have grown up by then.”
“Then it’s settled. When the time comes, we’ll work together again.”
Shao Nan snorted from the side. “Those are all fantasies. This is more practical.” After saying that, he picked up his book and continued reading.
Shao Nan now had a goal. However, after some research, he decided that he wouldn’t be a doctor anymore. Although doctors were great and respectable overall, there was a limit to what they could do. Most of the time, they relied on medicine and other things.
A doctor might save countless people in their lifetime and make a great contribution, but Shao Nan aimed to make medicine.
This was because a good medicine could sometimes save more people. Coincidentally, Shao Nan felt that he didn’t have the potential to be a doctor, so he quickly set his sights on researching pharmaceuticals, which suited his personality and ability.
By understanding, Shao Nan realized that his country’s pharmaceutical techniques were still too backward. Many medicines relied on imports and were quite expensive, so ordinary people couldn’t afford them.
There were too many things that needed to be done in this aspect, so Shao Nan felt that he should read more books and study hard.
The two brothers had different personalities and made different choices, but other than occasionally bickering, they were still very close.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu’s concert was about to arrive. Prior to that, many foreigners arrived one after another. They had come because of Xiao Wu’s reputation. Some of them had paid people to snatch up tickets, while others bought them with extra money.
Some of them purely liked music, while others urgently needed Xiao Wu’s music to help them.
Other than them, there were also certain groups, such as parents with autistic children. These children were of different ages. Some were in their twenties or thirties, while others were in their teens. They didn’t buy tickets, but Xiao Wu reserved a portion of the tickets and finally selected a group of people out of those who wanted to come.
Most of these people came from China, and a small portion of them came from overseas. They spoke different languages and had different skin tones, but all of them only felt gratitude for Xiao Wu.
