Wen Xinya was laying in Si Yiyan’s arms and watching the famous film, Trojan War.
The movie depicted the story of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, who abandoned her husband and daughter for a man from Troy. The Greeks then invaded Troy and waged a war that lasted for ten years. At last, the Trojans defeated the Greeks and claid victory.
Just as the Trojans were rejoicing about their victory, the Greek goddess Athena taught the Greeks to use wooden horses in war, after which the Greeks hid a select force of n inside a huge wooden worse and approached Troy at night. They then crept out of the horse at night and destroyed the city of Troy, putting an end to the ten-year siege. The battle was known as the famous Trojan War.
The entire film was in Greek, which Wen Xinya could not understand at all.
While translating the movie for Wen Xinya, Si Yiyan also explained to her about the famous Trojan War.
After the movie ended, Si Yiyan stopped explaining as well. “The Trojan War is also known as the battle for the most beautiful woman in the world.”
Wen Xinya could not help but exclaim in awe and amazent, “On the surface, it may seem like a war for the beauty, Helen. Actually, it’s because the Achaeans coveted the beautiful and wealthy city of Troy. They just used Helen as an excuse to wage a war!”
At the end of the movie, the Greeks stored the treasures of Troy into their battleship, putting a perfect yet ironic end to the movie.
Si Yiyan chuckled and said, “Silly lass, you’re thinking about it too simply. All wars begin for more than just one or two reasons.”
The reasons for war were very complex, and the negligence of unassuming details could lead to greater problems.
Wen Xinya pouted without retorting. Actually, she just resented the fact that people often blad the start of wars, the downfall of a country, and the destruction of a family on won.
Having understood her intentions, Si Yiyan pulled her into his arms and said softly, “n are forever in an endless pursuit of wealth, power and won. For money, n are willing to put themselves in danger. In order to attain power, n are willing to forgo their conscience and resort to all ans.” He continued, “However, none of these two can make a man give up everything, including his life.”
Si Yiyan stared at Wen Xinya calmly.
Wen Xinya’s mind went blank while her heart palpitated vigorously.
Si Yiyan smiled radiantly like pear flowers blooming in March. He looked cold yet resplendent and suave. “Won are the only reason n would give up everything and brave death.”
Wen Xinya tried to retort but could not bring herself to do so, because Si Yiyan had risked his life for her countless tis before.
Si Yiyan raised her chin and planted a kiss on her lips before saying smilingly, “So, you’d better not belittle the influence that won have over n. n are willing to destroy their nation for a woman, let alone start a war.”
He could not vouch for other n, but he knew... that he would definitely do that.
“That’s only a minority of n.” The gaze in his eyes was bright and ravishing, like peach blossoms in March which had vibrant petals. He exuded a rare suaveness and elegance which captivated Wen Xinya. She could not take her eyes off him at all.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “That’s enough.”
It would be enough so long as he was part of the minority.
“You... you’re defending yourself!” Wen Xinya exclaid self-righteously after having a hard ti mustering up the courage to do so. However, her heart was fluttering and it was as if flowers were blooming radiantly in her heart.
Si Yiyan kissed her neck while panting heavily. “Power and wealth are the only material possessions. Won... are the only ones who can bring about the greatest desires within n. Every man in this world has a lifelong wish of earning more money, attaining more power and living a blissful life with his beloved woman.”
There were also n who would give up love for money and power. However... that would beco the greatest regret of his life. One could always earn more money and slowly build his authority. However, once he lost the woman he loved, he would never be able to salvage the broken relationship again.
Wen Xinya pouted, not convinced by his words at all. “That’s all because n are greedy.”
Won wanted wealth and power too. However, once there were conflicting interests, won would forever be the ones getting abandoned and sacrificed.
Si Yiyan’s warm breath filled her ears and he said lustfully, “You’re right, n are greedy.”
He was one of the greedy ones.
Thinking that she was right, Wen Xinya said smugly, “Don’t you n always say that won are disposable? Clearly, won don’t an much to you n at all.”
Wen Xinya sounded rather indignant and exasperated.
Si Yiyan chuckled and said, “You’re right. The wisdom of people from ancient tis is truly impeccable.”
Wen Xinya pushed him away and hissed. “Since won are disposable like clothes, you’re not allowed to touch .”
Si Yiyan was not the kind to listen to her and stop touching her just because she wanted him to. He pinned her down beneath himself and began undressing her. “Since clothes are unnecessary, don’t wear them from now on.”
Wen Xinya chided. “You’re so shaless.”
Si Yiyan smiled and said, “Look, you don’t even dare to walk around naked when we’re alone together. Even the aboriginals know that they ought to cover their private areas, let alone us civilized people who have good manners and etiquette.”
Wen Xinya was montarily speechless. He makes sense, but why must he be so lecherous with ?
Si Yiyan guffawed and said, “It’s alright to lose an arm, but you can’t be unclothed. So, are clothes important or not?”
Wen Xinya retorted. “That may be the case, but there is a plethora of clothes in this world. No one would wear the sa design for the rest of his life!”
Si Yiyan replied smartly, “It doesn’t matter what you wear, as long as you like it.”
Wen Xinya was again speechless. She felt that there was sothing amiss with his words, though she could not put a finger on it.
She could not outargue him!
