"It is not wrong for the little grass to choose a love that responds. The stone gained sentience but missed out on love, which was not its intention, so it is also not wrong."
"Therefore, rather than arguing about who is right and who is wrong, it is better to think about how to love."
"Love, love deeply; abandon, abandon completely. Love, love well; abandon, be grateful. When I love you, you also love me, that is mutual love; when I love you, and you do not understand how to love me, that is unrequited love!"
"Clap, clap!" Su Dan Novel Network
The woman in green, upon hearing this, could not help but applaud, "Wonderful! Insightful!"
Zi Linling smiled faintly and said, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
The woman in green smiled brilliantly, and said insincerely, "Barely... consider it a pass!"
Zi Linling saw through the woman's thoughts and did not take it to heart.
"Then, what is the second question?"
The woman in green chuckled, covering her mouth, "Still impatient! Listen carefully!"
"Green vegetables and radishes fell in love. To be with the radish, the green vegetables ran away from home and moved to the radish's house."
"However, green vegetables dislike oil. Even a little bit makes them uncomfortable, but radishes love oil very much. The more oil, the happier they are."
"The green vegetables hoped the radishes would stay away from oil, while the radishes hoped the green vegetables would learn to accept. Thus, the two often bickered, with small fights every three days and big arguments every five days."
"Years later, the green vegetables were exhausted and no longer wanted to argue with the radishes, eventually leaving them. From then on, the radishes indulged themselves with greasiness, but when they returned to their empty houses, they always felt something was missing."
"The green vegetables once thought that the radishes loved them, so they gambled everything, gave up everything, including their own family, but what was the result? They lost so utterly."
"The radishes, on the other hand, thought that since the green vegetables loved them, why couldn't they be more tolerant? They lost. They gave all their love but ultimately ended in a dispersed end."
"What I want to ask is, between the green vegetables and the radishes, who lost?"
The woman in green's words once again put Xuan Yuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shen Liu Xing, and Shang Guan Yu Lin in a difficult position.
"What kind of questions are these? One moment it's who's wrong, the next it's who lost. Isn't this toying with us?" Shang Guan Yu Lin muttered softly.
Rong Guang also frowned, "Every family has its own troubles, and emotions are even more inscrutable. How can we tell?"
Xuan Yuan Xun looked thoughtful, but it was unclear what he was contemplating.
Shen Liu Xing looked at Ye Ling Yuan in Zi Lin Ling's embrace behind her, his gaze lingering.
Zi Lin Ling thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers and said, "I have the answer!"
"Oh?"
The woman in green looked back curiously, "Tell me!"
The other four also looked over, their faces full of shock.
They were curious about what kind of answer Zi Lin Ling would give to such a monumental dilemma.
Zi Lin Ling cleared her throat and said, "My answer is... the green vegetables did not lose, and the radishes... did not win either!"
"Ah?"
Xuan Yuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shang Guan Yu Lin, and Shen Liu Xing all widened their mouths simultaneously.
The woman in green, however, was more composed. Given the previous theory of "no right or wrong," "no winner or loser" was not entirely unacceptable.
Zi Lin Ling continued, "The same principle applies: in love, there is only love and no love; there is no winning or losing."
"When in love, all付出 is insignificant. When not in love, all demands become irritating."
"Therefore, the green vegetables seemingly lost, but they were still the winners. They simply gave up on someone who didn't care about their feelings. The radishes seemingly won, but they still lost, for they lost someone who loved them deeply."
"So, winning or losing should not exist in love. When you love, give your all. When you don't love, learn to be detached!"
The woman in green was taken aback for a moment, then applauded again, "Well said!"
Zi Lin Ling smiled, "No need for praise, let's move on to the third question!"
"Alright then, listen carefully..."
The woman in green sat back on the flower stamen and then said unhurriedly, "The paper kite and the string loved each other for ten years and finally got married."
"Soon, the paper kite gave birth to a little paper kite. Thus, its daily life revolved around the little paper kite and its in-laws, diligently serving them."
"As for the string, it earned some money by mixing with the spool every day to support the family."
"Life was hard, but because they were with the person they loved most, they were still somewhat happy."
"To earn more money, the string worked very hard every day, so after returning home, it did nothing but eat and be waited on, enjoying the paper kite's service."
"But the paper kite was also very tired. It had to do all the household chores, and all sorts of people were waiting for its service. It was busy from dawn till dusk, too exhausted to get up."
"Over time, the paper kite began to complain. It accused the string of not seeing its hard work and not helping with chores when it returned home."
"The string was also angry. It accused the paper kite of not seeing its subservient demeanor with the spool and not understanding the hardships of working outside."
"Gradually, they went from mutual complaints to endless quarrels, even reaching the point of separation."
"But separation required the consent of the Marriage Record, so they argued and bickered their way to the Marriage Record."
"The Marriage Record asked, 'Why do you want to separate?'"
"'Because it is unfair between us!' said the paper kite and the string in unison."
"Now, I want to ask, does fairness exist between them?"
After speaking, the woman in green put her jade foot into the water and played with it.
With this question posed, Xuan Yuan Xun, Shang Guan Yu Lin, Rong Guang, and Shen Liu Xing were once again stunned.
Though they had advanced to God Kings and were formidable in combat, judging disputes, especially those that even wise officials found difficult to resolve, was beyond them.
In this question, both sides seemed to have valid points, yet neither seemed entirely right. How could it be decided?
Zi Lin Ling, without hesitation this time, stated with certainty, "It does not exist!"
The woman in green looked surprised and asked, "You mean, it is unfair between them?"
Zi Lin Ling shook her head and said, "No! It's not that it's unfair between them, but that there is inherently no fairness in love!"
"As I said before, in love, there is only love and no love. Love is not an object that can be weighed."
"Because of love, one is willing to give, no matter how much, it is done willingly. When love is gone, there is naturally no question of gain or loss."
"Therefore, love is love, and no love is no love. Deep love is without regret."
"However, although there is no fairness in love, love is reciprocal. It is necessary for each to consider issues from the other's perspective, to give each other more tolerance and understanding, and to share some responsibilities together!"
