Xu Shangxiu asked: "Why are you sorry?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Because I didn't protect you."

Xu Shangxiu said: "You don't owe me anything, don't say sorry, but I got a lot from you, but I rarely say thank you."

Bian Xuedao looked reminiscent and smiled and said, "You never have to say thank you to me, never have to!"

Xu Shangxiu turned her head and looked out the window for a while, turned around and asked, "Why are you so good to me?"

Bian Xuedao said: "You seem to have asked this question."

Xu Shangxiu said: "You didn't tell me the answer."

Bian Xuedao said: "I just want you to be happy from the bottom of my heart."

"Want to make me happy?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Yes! I hope you can do what you like in your life without any restraint."

Xu Shangxiu said: "How can a person not be subject to any restraint when he is alive?"

Bian Xuedao said confidently: "I will give you freedom."

Xu Shangxiu asked back: "Do you think you are free now?"

Bian Xuedao said: "True freedom is not that you can do anything, but that others cannot force you to do things you don't like. I promise to give this freedom to you."

Xu Shangxiu said: "You still didn't tell me the answer."

After pondering for a while, Bian Xuedao said, "Student asked Socrates, what is life?"

After pausing for two seconds, Bian Xuedao continued: "Socrates asked the students to walk through an orchard, and each person chose the largest apple, and they were not allowed to go back. After he came back, he asked, are you satisfied? The students said, let's choose again, either we choose early and there are bigger ones behind us; or we choose late and miss the biggest ones. Socrates smiled, this is life, life is a choice that cannot be turned back again and again."

Xu Shangxiu heard this and didn't understand it.
