Chapter 1677: Does the Earth Will Need Empathy?

"Have you had any interesting experiences at school recently?"

Gu Chen, who had a rare moment of free time, watched cartoons with Xingyao in the living room, and started talking about a topic that was a bit "old-fashioned" for Xingyao.

"Well...yes, there's a boy in my class who thinks he's an alien, not an Earthling. He also thinks he's a lifelike robot and can even summon the wind by whistling."

Xingyao thought about it in her mind while watching TV, then nodded and said.

"Oh? Then what? Is that child really an alien or some kind of lifelike robot?"

Gu Chen raised his brows slightly and asked.

"Of course not. He's a pure human being. When I heard him say that, I couldn't help myself and cut a small cut on his arm with a knife... Uh, can you pretend you didn't hear what he just said?"

Xingyao spoke carelessly, and when she came to her senses, she realized that she seemed to have revealed something she shouldn't have.

"You mean, you hurt your classmates with a knife?"

Gu Chen's eyes turned dangerous in an instant when he looked at Xingyao. How come he had never heard of such a thing? Ya De Meng didn't tell him either.

If Xingyao hadn't let the cat out of the bag just now, he probably wouldn't have known that this had happened until he died.

"It wasn't really an injury. He was yelling about being an alien and a lifelike robot and all that. I saw he was a little crazy, so I wanted to wake him up. I assure you, I only gave him a small cut, the kind that would heal on its own with a Band-Aid."

Xingyao was frightened by Gu Chen's eyes and shrank her neck, then put on a pitiful expression and tried to get away with it.

It’s a pity that Gu Chen, as always, doesn’t buy into her tricks.

"Is that the point?! Who taught you to point a knife at your classmates?! That's so dangerous! If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?!"

Gu Chen scolded Xingyao without any hesitation: "Even if you want him to understand that he is just a human, you can't prove it by hurting his body."

"Imagine yourself if someone cuts you with a knife because of something you said. How would you feel? Wouldn't that person feel pain? Wouldn't that person be scared?"

Listening to Gu Chen's scolding, Xingyao lowered her head lower and lower.

In fact, before this, Xingyao had already received fierce criticism and education from Ya.

When the incident happened, Ya De Meng got the news first, and then he gave Xingyao a good lecture.

However, Xingyao's cute and evasive behavior worked for Ya Demeng, and Ya Demeng agreed to help Xingyao hide the matter from Gu Chen.

However, Ya Meng did it, but Xingyao herself let the cat out of the bag.

Through this incident, Gu Chen also discovered that Xingyao was extremely lacking in empathy.

Although empathy is not a necessity for the planet's will, Gu Chen still hopes that Xingyao can use empathy to derive a "universal compassion" or "systematic care" that transcends the individual and concerns the whole.

As a human being, Gu Chen naturally hopes that the will of the earth is not cold and mechanical, but an existence that can understand, tolerate and even care for human beings.

This is also Gu Chen's selfish desire as a human being.

Of course, we must strike a balance here and not overdo our understanding, tolerance and care, as that would be harmful rather than beneficial to humanity.

"I know I was wrong."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, Xingyao immediately and weakly admitted her mistake.

"Have you apologized to that classmate?"

Gu Chen took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and then asked.

"I apologize. Yato Takeshi-sensei took me there."

Xingyao nodded and answered immediately.

But the next second, she covered her mouth again.

Because she just realized at this moment that her previous answer seemed to have betrayed Ya's fierceness.

"So Meng knows about this?"

Gu Chen raised his brows again and said.

Now, Xingyao didn't dare to speak anymore. She just covered her mouth and nodded, afraid of saying something she shouldn't say. Although there was nothing she shouldn't say now, after all, she had said everything she shouldn't say.

"You didn't tell me, it seems like you wanted to keep this a secret for you, this is really..."

As Gu Chen spoke, he stood up and prepared to talk to Ya Demeng about this matter, asking him not to dote on Xingyao so much.

But after thinking about it, Gu Chen still did not take a step towards Ya Di Meng's bedroom on the second floor. Thinking back to Ya Di Meng's itinerary in the past period of time, Gu Chen felt a little reluctant to disturb him.

In the end, Gu Chen decided to let Xingyao tell Ya Demeng these things in person when she went to school the next day.

"Besides this, did anything else happen at school?"

Sitting back on the sofa, Gu Chen planned to continue inquiring about Xingyao's situation at school.

"Hmm... On a separate note, does it count if Mr. Yato Takeshi and his students formed a band?"

Xingyao pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Forming a band? Meng still has time to form a band with the students?"

Gu Chen looked towards the stairwell on the second floor in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that this workaholic who worked at school during the day and graded homework and researched negative energy topics at home at night actually had the free time to form a band with his students. How much energy did he have to squander?

I feel that Ya is so strong that he can take over Zoffy's job in the future and work in the office at the Space Guard Headquarters.

"Because those people didn't want to go to school, Mr. Ya's teacher, in order to get along with them, catered to their interests and formed a band with them to play music, and the condition was that they could study hard."

Xingyao began to explain for Yade Meng, and then added: "For this reason, Yade Meng teacher even ran around looking for places for them to perform freely."

Listening to Xingyao's words, Gu Chen couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

It can be said that Ya is worthy of his name. Caring about students so much has far exceeded the responsibilities of a teacher, right?

Generally speaking, even if there are teachers like Yade Meng, they are rare.

Perhaps it is because of this that Ya De Meng holds such a high status in the hearts of his students.

"Ah!"

In the bedroom on the second floor, Ya De Meng, who was studying the negative energy fluctuation data detected by the Earth Defense Force from various places, suddenly sneezed loudly.

But he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to study the meaning behind these data, hoping to find the key to eliminating negative energy.

In other words, Ya's fierceness is the human appearance that Eddie directly mimics. Otherwise, if a human were to do such high-intensity work, he would sooner or later die suddenly from overwork.

But since they are warriors of light, there is no problem. For them, sleeping is basically a rare behavior if it is not for experiencing human life.
