“Lin Lin, Grandpa doesn’t want to deceive you. If it weren’t for Grandpa stopping you, you really intended to take someone else’s clothes.” The old man phrased it delicately, changing ‘steal’ to ‘take.’
“Ah…” With his worst fear confirmed, Lin Feng was stunned. How could this happen? How could he steal women’s underwear? Such a despicable and vile act, could he really do something like that? Feeling guilty, he looked up to see the old man giving him a half-smile. Seeing this expression, Lin Feng became even more uncertain about what the old man was thinking and what he intended to do next—report to the authorities or take justice into his own hands?
However, since the old man hadn’t taken action while he was unconscious last night, things evidently hadn’t reached that point yet. Maybe because he was the disciple of the old man’s junior brother, the old man decided to give him a chance? Lin Feng quickly dismissed his chaotic thoughts and made a solemn promise: “Grandpa, but, but I really don’t have such a fetish, I really, really don’t have those disgusting thoughts, I am one hundred percent a normal man, Grandpa, you have to believe me!”
“Good child! How could Grandpa not believe you! Otherwise, Grandpa wouldn’t have said all this. Grandpa wants you to understand, don’t let your subconscious evil desires control you! When you sleepwalk, every action your body takes is precisely what your deepest, most primal desires crave. Everyone’s soul harbors various primal desires or instincts. These most basic instincts can be positive or dark, just or evil, and together they form the unique character of each individual. The key is, each person must learn to distinguish these primal desires, learn how to balance and control them, rather than ultimately being enslaved by them, becoming a person who lives by instinct alone!”
“Grandpa, I, actually, I’m not…” Lin Feng felt a lump in his throat. No one had ever talked to him this intimately, and he felt an urge to confess the biggest secret inside him. Mr. Wang was a trustworthy old man; revealing his secret might be a good start to being open and honest.
