They didn't live happily ever after.

I didn't expect the ending to be like this. The male and female protagonists face the hard future, so "reality" and so inspirational. It's not like a fairy tale dream, but a real bravery who "sees the world clearly and still loves it".

Between Xiang and Arti, Arti is more like a strong man. Although in the world, the sick young master is always the young master, but the villain is just a thief. But it was Artie, who had a firm belief, that inspired Xiang's courage to live. In fact, in the face of life, which of us are not weak, it takes great courage to go on firmly.

When Xiang first met Artie, he was enthusiastic, and he sent candy to the kitchen, but it was his behavior that almost brought disaster to the villain. This is the reality, and good wishes may not bring good results to the other party. The little people have long been accustomed to dealing with danger with caution. Artie's approach to accepting friendship is illegal and reckless, and it really brings disaster.

But is enthusiasm really useless? Xiang still tries his best to help them get out of trouble, and Artie also feels the support and friendship. In the process of fighting against A-Chun together, Xiang understands and believes in Arti's ability, and no longer feels that he is entitled to "grace", and Arti finally believes that Xiang is a friend and that not all human beings are dangerous.

At the end, Xiang no longer prevented Artie from leaving, it should be that he had a better understanding of her situation. Maybe we will finish our own life in the end, but the acceptance and support from others will make us a little more warm on the road.

If you want to "qualify", the little people really "steal" rather than "borrow", take it without telling it and don't return it. However, a single laurel leaf can use a villain for a year, and how much human resources can it use? Today, I happen to see polar bears emaciated or even starved to death due to melting glaciers, or races are competing for the world's limited resources, but when they are dominant, can they not be ruthless, and try to show mercy to the disadvantaged? ? So I can understand that A Chun doesn't like villains, but I can't accept her greedy and smug smile after catching the villains.

But A-chun is always there, and the villain still has to survive. I hope that every Xiang can cure his heart disease and be willing to live, and the world may become a little better.

    Shawn: I never saw her again. But the following summer I returned and was happy to hear the people in the house down the road talking about how many things in their home had gone missing.
