Chapter 274 Cold War

"Is there no one around paying attention to us? I remember you said that there might be survivors hiding in any corner. Is there anyone in the nearby buildings watching us?" He Rui asked.

"No." Ji Changqing answered briefly.

He Rui nodded, "Let's go, get in the car and continue on our journey."

He wanted to pull his brother Ji's hands away from his and check what damage the car door had done to it after being hit by the dog.

Now from the angle he was standing at, it looked like the car hadn't been marked.

He had just received a new car as a gift, and he hadn't enjoyed it enough. He really didn't want the car to be destroyed by a dog.

He pulled it a bit but couldn't get it open, so he looked at Ji Changqing questioningly.

"What's up, Brother Ji? Get in the car?"

The other person lowered his eyes and looked at him quietly. His eyes were dark and deep, with an incomprehensible complexity. He slowly said, "Were you serious about what you said before?"

"What?" He Rui recalled what he had said before, "What?

Is anyone paying attention to us?

Seriously, I don’t understand.”

He Rui noticed that his brother Ji's eyes had dimmed a little.

The other party sighed slightly, as if hiding all his emotions, and shook his head at him gently but with a sense of distance, "It's okay."

Those dark eyes no longer showed any emotion. She let go of him, raised her hand and gently pinched his face, then turned and walked towards the passenger seat.

He Rui felt inexplicably uncomfortable and miserable.

He followed him, and outside the car door, leaning on the seat, looked at the man sitting in the passenger seat, and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Ji? Did I say something wrong?

"I may have said something without thinking. If you are upset by what I said, could you please tell me about it? I will change it and we can communicate." He was sincere and really wanted to communicate.

He Rui wondered, could it be that Brother Ji was trying to save face? Did he feel questioned by his brother asking if anyone was around? Or did he feel looked down upon and felt uncomfortable?

If someone else, or a friend he wasn't familiar with, had this kind of emotion, he could still understand it.

But his brother Ji is not that kind of petty person.

For the sake of his brother, Ji Changqing was even willing to risk his life and almost died of anemia.

How could such a person get angry because of a simple sentence he made? He Rui thought this was completely unreasonable.

He tried hard to recall, but he couldn't figure out what he had done or what he had said wrong, which made Ji Ge's favorability towards him drop by -200 and the sense of distance between him and him increased by +3 kilometers.

Seeing his brother Ji refusing to communicate again and remaining silent as if he was autistic, He Rui couldn't help feeling depressed.

The other party's state looked quite familiar. When Ji Xinghan first appeared, his brother Ji was dragged into 701 by him and also behaved very introverted at first.

He stayed in the room all day without moving.

It's like being depressed and isolating yourself from the whole world.

But at that time, the other party was not as important to him as Brother Ji is now. He was not familiar with him, and he had been beaten by him before, so he still had some grudge against him.

So I knew at the time that this person was in a bad mood, but he was too lazy to pay attention.

But now it's different.

Ji Changqing is now an important figure in his heart, and he cares about her very much.

This person was in a bad mood, and suddenly there was a sense of distance between them. He was in a bad mood as well, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

A similar situation had occurred with his sister. Because of the age difference and gender differences, his sister was reluctant to tell him many things.

I remember one time at home, He Rui saw his sister crying. He knocked on the door and went over to ask what was wrong. However, he was kicked out of the room after asking a few questions, and his sister also refused to communicate with him.

When faced with this situation, there is nothing you can do.

It’s heartbreaking to watch your loved ones saddened, but you can’t do anything to help.

Now when he looked at Ji Changqing, he felt the same way.

Obviously they have always been together.

24 hours a day.

Even because the day and night are longer now.

If there are thirty hours in a day, then he might be in the same room with his brother Ji for twenty-nine and a half hours.

After spending a long time together, there was no situation where they felt uncomfortable or disliked each other.

On the contrary, the longer the contact, the more harmonious it feels, and I don’t even feel like there is any adjustment process.

They get along so well that if they were on Earth, they would probably have a good relationship and could play together until they grow old.

When he gets old, Tietie should still be able to push his wheelchair for a walk and give him quick-acting heart pills when he has heart pectoris.

He really couldn't understand why this person seemed to be in a very good mood the moment before and suddenly became like this the next second.

It's really hard to understand.

The other party was silent and just looked at him quietly. He Rui couldn't help but get a little impatient: "Brother Ji, please speak. Why are you silent again?"

The person in front of him looked away, lowered his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "If I were half as honest as you, perhaps the problem would be solved now."

When He Rui heard this, more questions popped up in his head.

"Problem? What problem? Is there still a problem between you and me? Aren't we so close that we can wear the same pants???

What's the problem? Tell me! Be honest!

Even if you have diarrhea now, I will not discriminate against you."

Ji Changqing chuckled and said nothing.

He Rui felt even more annoyed. As his brother Ji remained silent, he couldn't help but tighten his hands that were supporting the car seat, causing the headrest to creak.

I feel unhappy.

"Is there anything you can't just say directly? What's the point of saying it? If you don't say it, how can you solve the problem? What's the point of hiding it in your heart? If I did something wrong, I can just correct it. I won't deny my mistakes. If you tell me, I won't turn against you."

He became more and more irritated as he spoke.

Ji Changqing said calmly, "Someone nearby saw us and is coming over."

He Rui clicked his tongue, and to avoid trouble, he unhappily closed the passenger door, quickly walked back to the car, and drove away with a sullen face.

Just now she said that he was the most important person, hugging him and being closer than brothers.

He immediately said there was a problem and acted as if he was trying to keep people away.

He couldn't help feeling depressed.

I thought, if this guy doesn't want to say it, then he doesn't want to listen.

Today his brother Ji ignored him, and tomorrow... or one day, when this person wanted to talk, he would plug his ears.

He Rui was angry and didn't say a word the whole way.

The car fell into an inexplicable cold war atmosphere, with no words or communication throughout the journey.

He listened to the background music silently and drove for several hours, his attention completely focused on the outside.

We did encounter some survivors along the way.

But he was driving quite fast, and when those people saw him, they were probably shocked that a drivable, brand-new car appeared on the road, which was now completely clean and looked like a city being built.

No one rushed over to stop the car like the female evolver at the beginning.

Most people just stared blankly at their car speeding past.
