On June 1, a new issue of "j-young Literature" was released, which published Kim Jingcheng's seventh short story "Crashing". That night, Kim Jingcheng wrote his eighth short story in his study in his mansion.

Jin Jingcheng hopes that his collection of short stories is rich and colorful, so he wants the twenty short stories in it to be diverse, including both youth, love stories and small events in life, and the connotations carried by them are also diverse.

In this eighth novel, Jin Jingcheng wants to write a philosophy from real life, that is: existence!

This short story was named "The Book of Existence" by him.

...

The slightly decadent evening that had just passed away seemed to be still patrolling in my eyes. The increasingly dense night in front of me could not allow Che Wan to reject its existence, just as Che Wan could not reject the existence of this night. After all, the night was indeed coming, as usual, with some silence mixed in with some divine smell, allowing the tiny mortals to see the real mystery.

In recent days, perhaps because he was addicted to certain philosophical works, Che Wan became very interested in the word "existence", so that the first thing he thought of when he saw it was its existence.

For example, Che Wan had just realized the existence of the evening and the existence of the night, and then she couldn't help but think of the existence of the window in front of her, and the existence of the osmanthus tree in the courtyard outside the window. This osmanthus tree existed like a lonely person in the soil of the courtyard. Che Wan then thought that it was already winter. Just in autumn three months ago, the osmanthus tree was still blooming and fragrant, and the fragrance was refreshing. Now its flowers and fragrance no longer exist.

When Che Wan thought about it this way, she did not realize the meaning of philosophy. In other words, he only believed that they did exist in subjective feelings, and did not think that he had to have some connection with philosophy.

At this moment, Cui Zailin called.

Cui Zailin is one of the few middle school classmates that Che Wan still has to interact with. Cui Zailin was a very standard top science student in middle school, but now he has become a drama director. It really makes people sigh at the changes in the world.

Che Wan answered the phone, and Cui Zailin asked him to go to the municipal government square immediately, saying that he had a big concern to tell him.

Che Wan was not polite. Too polite to a friend like Cui Zailin, he was hypocritical and slandered him: "It's midnight now, so how could he call people to the municipal government square in the middle of the night? Is there anything I can't talk about tomorrow?"

Cui Zailin was unhappy and said he had tonight, saying that he wanted to find an open place to talk to.

Che Wan understood what he meant. The Municipal Government Square was the largest square in the local area. It was indeed open enough. It was probably okay to run horses there. As long as you are brave enough, you can pull all the taxis in the city, and you may not be satisfied.

It’s really like a day without seeing each other three autumns. It’s not only about Cui’s re-entry, but also about the huge square.

Che Wan didn't know when there were so many entertainment facilities in this square, and there was even an open-air dance hall.

When Che Wan arrived at the municipal government square, before Cui Zailin came, Che Wan first found a seat in the open-air dance hall and ordered a cup of coffee to consume it slowly. Unexpectedly, Cui Zailin pulled the corner of his clothes as soon as he came and insisted that he went to a remote corner.

Che Wan was dissatisfied: "This place is remote enough, what other remote place is needed?"

Cui Zailin was even more dissatisfied: "Let's go to the corner of the square, believe me, I have a lot of worries tonight and I'm very private, and I don't want to be heard by others."

Che Wan smiled awkwardly: "Who will listen to your privacy?"

Cui Zailin ignored him and pulled Che Wan away unreasonably.

Even though he was joking, when he followed Cui Zailin away, Che Wan was thinking in her heart that Cui Zailin has always been introverted and rarely tells others about his privacy. What can you have to tell him so carefully today?

Che Wan didn't think Cui Zailin was lying, and she saw that Cui Zailin did have any worries tonight.

Many people mistakenly think that the philosopher Descartes once said: I think so I am there.

In fact, Descartes never said this. According to the understanding of "I think, so I am", many people think that "I think, so I exist." Because of this, many people who believe in empiricism and materialism regard this sentence as a handle for Descartes. In the past Eastern Europe and the current Asian academic circles, they were considered as the general representative of extreme subjective idealism, and were severely criticized. Many people even argue that Descartes is "ridiculous" by arguments such as "existence must precede consciousness" and "no body can't have thoughts".

If you carefully explore Descartes's thought development process, it is not difficult to find that what he really wants to express is: thinking, so in that, when I doubt the existence of all things, I don't have to doubt my own thoughts, because the only thing I can be sure of at this time is the existence of my own thoughts.

Therefore, Descartes said "thinking, so being" rather than "I think, so I am."

To use Descartes' meaning, Che Wan's current situation is that when he doubts Cui Zailin's concerns, he doesn't have to doubt what he is doubting, because the only thing he can be sure of at this time is that he is indeed doubting.

When he arrived at a remote corner of the square, Cui Zailin told Che Wan about his thoughts.

Che Wan and Cui Zailin have known each other for many years and know that "father" is the most taboo term for Cui Zailin, and it is also a term that Cui Zailin rarely mentions.

At this time tonight, Cui Zailin talked about his father in a remote corner of the square.

Cui Zailin told Che Wan: "I just came from the cemetery."

Che Wan was surprised: "You ran to the cemetery tonight?"

Cui Zailin nodded: "Yes, I just went to the cemetery alone to see my father."

Cui Zailin explained that his father passed away half a year ago. Because he was directing a drama in another place, he was unable to come back to visit him, nor could he come back to worship as soon as possible. Tonight he went to the cemetery alone to worship his dead father.

Che Wan felt uncomfortable. She remembered her grandmother who had just passed away less than a year, and she couldn't come back to see her for the last time.

However, Che Wan still punched Cui Zailin and said, "You are so inhumane. It's okay if you can't come back to meet me. Even worship has been delayed for half a year. Who do you think you are? What can make you busy with this kind of bastard?"

Cui Zailin pursed his lips and told Che Wan in a deep voice: "I have two fathers, not one."

Cui Zailin said again: "The one I went to worship tonight is not my biological father, but my stepfather. My biological father is now in prison."

Che Wann could sense the depression buried in Cui Zailin's heart from Cui Zailin's confession over the years, and tonight was the night when Cui Zailin released his depression.
