To be honest, when Luo Chao heard Zuo Dahai's "hehe" laughter, his heart instantly tightened.

Because, in today's internet age, probably everyone understands what the sound "hehe" represents.

The word "hehe," before it became popular online, was used by some people as a catchphrase to express happiness, although sometimes it carried a sad connotation.

It gradually evolved from its initial simple onomatopoeia to something more meaningful.

Seeing it, some feel melancholic, some internalize their anger, and some even directly flip the table...

Luo Chao, based on his own experience, divided the usage of the word "hehe" into eight categories.

The first type of "hehe" can be used to express one's smile, yet it gives people an unfathomable feeling that is sometimes neither happy, sad, angry, nor joyful, and can drive people to near collapse. It can also indicate having nothing to say, or agreement or disagreement with the other's words.

The second type of "hehe" conveys more of a mocking sense, expressing disdain and a smile without words.

The third type of "hehe" sometimes only indicates agreement or can even be meaningless. Today, it increasingly carries a tone of coldness, sarcasm, or sometimes showing off a relaxed mood; in short, "hehe" is a versatile word in both the internet and life.

The fourth type of "hehe" can be used in mediums like the internet, text messages, emails, and greeting cards.

The fifth type of "hehe" is used in online chats when someone is dissatisfied with the other person or doesn't know what to say, using "hehe" as a cover.

The sixth type is the most hurtful "goddess's hehe," where the goddess uses "hehe" to express disdain or disregard for a nerd.

The seventh type of "hehe" expresses a kind of helplessness, regarding things said or done by the opposing party, when you know they are deceiving or concealing from you, and you want to confront them but can't.

The final eighth type of "hehe" represents cursing; when some people say "hehe," they might actually be cursing the other in their hearts.

In Luo Chao's view, these eight uses of "hehe" aren't generally used for good. Sending a "hehe" in an online chat may be harmless, but saying a "hehe" in real life might mean there's going to be a battle between two people!

Thinking about this, Luo Chao couldn't help but activate his inner energy, ready at any moment to forcibly mediate between Tang Tianyi and Zuo Dahai.

However, just at that moment, what Zuo Dahai said next caught Luo Chao off guard!

"I'm sorry, Miss Tang, you're right, I was wrong," Zuo Dahai said blandly.

Zuo Dahai's gentle voice suddenly sounded. Had Luo Chao not been fully focused on the dynamics between these two people, he might have doubted his ears!

"Hum, that's more like it." Tang Tianyi was apparently also somewhat surprised by Zuo Dahai's sudden change in attitude, although the surprise on her face vanished quickly.

Originally, Tang Tianyi had prepared countless theories to persuade Zuo Dahai, and she was even ready for Zuo Dahai to ignore her theories and get into a fight.

But even if Tang Tianyi was a seamless calculator of a scientist, she hadn't calculated that Zuo Dahai would suddenly admit his mistake.

After all, the drastic change in Zuo Dahai's attitude was too great, and Tang Tianyi couldn't react at all!

"Miss Tang, Brother Luo Chao, you must think that my change is huge, right? You don't have to hide it; I know what you're thinking!" Zuo Dahai suddenly said with a smile.

Tang Tianyi let out a cold hum to acknowledge, while Luo Chao smiled awkwardly.

Luo Chao thought, "Zuo Dahai, your calmness now is all thanks to me. Look at how proud you are, as if it's all your credit!"

However, what Luo Chao was thinking, Zuo Dahai naturally didn't know.

Zuo Dahai continued, "Because I suddenly understood a principle just now."

"Oh? What principle?" Luo Chao asked, following Zuo Dahai's words on the surface, but actually secretly laughing inside. He really wanted to hear what philosophy Zuo Dahai had realized after being spiritually purified.

"Actually, it's quite simple, just four words: 'As Calm as Still Water.'" Zuo Dahai said calmly.

"As Calm as Still Water?" Luo Chao nodded silently.

"That's right, as calm as still water. Just now, I reflected on my life failures due to gambling and suddenly realized." Zuo Dahai continued, "There are so many things in life you never expected, yet they happen, suddenly and uncomfortably, thinking you're unlucky, thinking misfortune follows you, always finding external reasons instead of looking within."

"But as the saying goes, the blisters on your feet are of your own making; how can they be unrelated to yourself? Three feet of ice does not form in a single day. When it freezes, you realize too late, and anger, worry, depression... what use are they? If you retreat and don't face yourself, how does it help? Life truly is as you sow, so you shall reap. If you haven't sown the seeds you wanted, of course, you can't harvest what you desire!"

"So, it's never too late to mend. Reflect on oneself, face yourself bravely. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As long as I move towards the direction of the results I want, hard work will always be rewarded. There's no room for trickery; only honest efforts will suffice!"

"If you say you can achieve whatever you desire in life, it's not an unrealistic fantasy. It's real life because it's the path you've walked yourself towards what you want!"

"All along the journey, no pain or difficulty should deter you. When you look back, viewing it with care and insight, you'll find a trail of footprints. They may be narrow, shallow, seemingly insignificant waving at you, but you should rejoice because it is the path of thorns that you have treaded on your own!"

"So, I believe there's no 'can't achieve' in life, only 'can't imagine.' The moment you imagine it, you can achieve it because everything about you belongs to you alone, so only you can save yourself!"

Hearing this, Luo Chao couldn't help but become dumbfounded. As they say, "lay down the butcher's knife and instantly become a Buddha," Luo Chao felt Zuo Dahai had let go of his obsessions and instantly attained enlightenment!

Luo Chao hadn't expected that after purging Zuo Dahai of his obsessions, his mental realm would transcend so quickly!

Even Luo Chao felt that Zuo Dahai's words contained the profoundness of Heaven and Earth Dao, and couldn't help but savor and think deeply about them.

"Liberating oneself... How does one liberate oneself?" Luo Chao muttered to himself as he pondered.

"Actually, as long as you realize everything in the bustling mundane world is ephemeral, and when your life ends, you can't take anything with you! Seeing through worldly attachments and maintaining a calm heart is not passive nor weak; those desires are just the cold and false veneer beneath the prosperity," Zuo Dahai calmly said upon hearing Luo Chao's muttering.
