In just this short while, dozens of lives disappeared before Li Yifei's eyes. Although it was just a dragonfly and dozens of ants, it was still life, right?
How innocent they were, yet suddenly struck down by unforeseen disaster. Li Yifei couldn't feel these lives' abrupt disappearance, but he suddenly felt very melancholy.
Today, he was experiencing a lot of strange emotions. Witnessing these deaths in person only made him feel worse. Li Yifei looked down at the still-busy ants by his feet and murmured, "What is the meaning of your lives? You could die at any moment. Passing vehicles can crush you, human footsteps can tread on you, a gust of wind can blow you away, a puddle can drown a whole bunch of you, and other insects can eat you. Yet you continue to toil, searching for food, nurturing offspring, serving the queen..."
"And you," he continued, looking up at the dragonflies, "flitting about so busily, only to disappear forever afterward."
