◎We! We’re back!!!◎
When he approached just now, Rong Xiao heard that Long Qingyu's tone was very good. This man was cursing and taking the initiative to attack, and he didn't look like a good person at first glance.
"Another nosy guy, what does it have to do with you..." The man's tone was unreserved, but after meeting Rong Xiao's murderous eyes, the rest of the words unconsciously rolled back into his throat.
"What's the matter?" Lei Chao also followed out.
The other guard standing next to Long Qingyu stammered, aggrieved, "We saw this guy using his powers, so Brother Long and I tried to warn him. He suddenly flew into a rage and started biting us. He even wanted to... beat us up."
"Don't you know that you can't use superpowers casually in the safe zone?" Lei Chao looked at the man with a fierce expression after hearing the whole story.
The man looked shabby, with dyed red hair that didn't match his appearance at all, like an outdated Shamatte.
His companion also had a look of disdain on his face, as if he looked down on the guard officer.
"I just used my powers to pick up something, what's wrong? Did I hurt anyone?" The red-haired man snorted coldly, loosening his grip on Long Qingyu's clothes and patting his chest provocatively. "Isn't being a security officer in the safe zone just because you don't have powers? Jealousy? Envy? Hatred?"
Long Qingyu looked at him unwaveringly, his expression firm. "Since the safe zone has established this rule, everyone must abide by it. Otherwise, what's the point?"
"Tsk," the red-haired man sneered. "I advise a useless person like you with no special abilities not to try to stand out. If you die one day, you won't even know how you died."
"Please show me your ID card. You have used your supernatural powers in violation of the regulations and must register." Long Qingyu did not avoid or evade his gaze. He held a camera in his hand, which seemed to be used for taking pictures.
The red-haired man's anger was ignited again, and he raised his fist to attack without saying a word.
"puff."
The fist was covered by a palm.
Um?
The red-haired girl lowered her eyes and saw Rong Xiao, who was raising her arms.
It's just...how come the hands of a girl who looks so young are so big and not very delicate...
Huh? It's not her hand!
Yan Jue had arrived at the side without knowing when, and took the red-haired man's light punch with his strong palm.
It was obvious that he had not trained well. Without his superpowers, hitting people with his punches was like tickling, and it didn't hurt at all.
He looked so aggressive just now, and I thought he was so powerful.
"Brother, I understand you." Yan Jue smiled, exuding a friendly aura.
The red-haired man was still furious, but when he heard what Yan Jue said, his expression softened and he nodded as if he had found a soulmate.
Yan Jue continued, "The fist has no power at all. If I didn't use my supernatural powers, I would probably be killed by one punch."
boom--
The red-haired man's anger, which had just subsided a little, was like fuel thrown by Yan Jue, and it began to burn with a rumbling roar, and he suddenly punched him again.
Both of his hands were grabbed, and Yan Jue gently lifted them up, and the man fell to the ground like a salted fish, unable to turn over.
The red-haired companion was also very angry. He waved his fists to try to get back at Yan Jue, but was kicked back to the ground by Yan Jue.
"You guys..." Whoosh, a strong wind suddenly blew up around them.
Rong Xiao sensed something and cried out, "Oh oh oh," "He's going to use his supernatural powers!"
As he finished speaking, passersby on the roadside, Lei Chao, Yan Jue, Long Qingyu and his new colleague... and those who popped their heads out of the restaurant to eat melons were all looking at him.
Being stared at by so many eyes, if he uses his supernatural powers, he will have no way to defend himself.
Lei Chao, in particular, actually pulled out a cell phone and started recording a video: "Someone's about to use supernatural powers! Record it as evidence!"
Although there is no mobile phone signal, there is electricity in the safe zone, so everyone is still used to carrying a mobile phone with them, and sometimes taking photos and videos as souvenirs.
The red-haired man was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was about to curse a few words to save his face when he suddenly felt the bag on his waist move. His ID card was taken out and snatched away.
Rong Xiao held up the card to Long Qingyu: "Brother Long, register him."
The red-haired man gritted his teeth: "You..."
Long Qingyu took the ID card and took a photo.
The red-haired man, unable to struggle, was so angry that he was about to explode. He stared at the group of people in front of him one by one. Suddenly, his mind broke and he lost control. He wanted to beat up anyone he caught nearby.
Even if he had lost his mind, his instinct told him to pick on the weak.
People like Yan Jue and Long Qingyu would definitely have no advantage if they didn't use their superpowers. In front of so many people, he couldn't use his superpowers to give them an advantage.
The target moved to the girl next to him who looked thin and fragile...
Lei Chao also saw his purpose and was about to shout "Be careful" when the red-haired man had already taken action.
Rong Xiao instantly sensed the danger brought by the other party's approaching movements, and kicked him in the stomach without hesitation.
The onlookers were all watching, and Red Hair didn't dare to use his special abilities, so he could only bear it.
As a result, this kick sent him flying and hitting the street lamp next to him.
"Knock, she...she must have used her superpowers, check her!!" The red-haired man couldn't believe it, cursing and twisting on the ground while holding his stomach.
Lei Chao's eyes showed surprise, and he gave Rong Xiao a thumbs up when he looked at her.
Not only Lei Chao, everyone else understands.
Rong Xiao did not use his full strength, but controlled his strength and gave the red-haired man a light kick.
If it were in the past, the red-haired guy would have had his ribs broken long ago and would not have had the energy to complain.
"She didn't use her powers," Long Qingyu said without taking any action. "If she had, you wouldn't be here talking to me right now."
The red-haired man's eyes widened, he clutched his stomach and cursed as he climbed up: "It's my bad luck that I actually know him, damn it."
"Brother Long, Brother Long," Rong Xiao's attention was instantly withdrawn from the red-haired man, and he carefully examined Long Qingyu's clothes. "Is this your uniform? It looks great."
Long Qingyu didn't let the red hair affect his mood. He smiled and said, "Yeah, what a coincidence! Are you having dinner nearby?"
Yan Jue pointed to the food next to him, stared at the uniform on Long Qingyu, and muttered quietly: "Then it should look good on me too."
"Yes, yes, let's eat here," Rong Xiao pointed to the restaurant behind him and urged Long Qingyu to join him. "Brother Long, come too!"
Long Qingyu laughed when he heard this: "I'm still working, you guys can eat, I won't be off work so soon."
"Okay." After waving his hand, Rong Xiao reluctantly returned to the store.
The food on the table was a little cold, so Lei Chao asked the boss to heat it up, and everyone continued to eat.
Yan Jue was sitting next to Rong Xiao and noticed that she was always looking out the French window. He probably guessed something and said with a smile, "Did you see it?"
Stunned for a moment, Rong Xiao looked up curiously: "Hmm?"
"Long Qingyu did a good job," Yan Jue said with a faint smile, "so, don't lose to him."
"I won't!" The mushroom-headed man, who was still a little droopy, suddenly became energetic.
Ling Xuting, who was sitting next to Yan Jue, was stunned.
This guy really grasped Rong Xiao's thoughts accurately and clearly.
If it were someone else, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to make Rong Xiao recover so quickly.
Taking advantage of the break during dinner, Lei Chao quietly asked Rong Xiao whether he had deliberately held back when he attacked just now.
Rong Xiao nodded and said that he had followed Lei Chao's previous instructions and deliberately controlled the strength, but he didn't expect that the man could not withstand the beating.
Lei Chao smiled. He didn't expect that this little girl, who didn't look very smart, actually took what he said very seriously.
After a few days of training, Rong Xiao became more and more proficient in controlling strength and speed, and could even control the strength and practice normally with him.
Lei Chao also breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to worry about being accidentally killed by Rong Xiao.
However, he also discovered Rong Xiao's situation.
Before, she almost always relied on her reaction, strength and speed to attack. Because of her extreme advantages, she was often able to quickly subdue the opponent.
If she could keep her strength and speed within a certain range, her advantage in bare-handed combat would be diminished.
At this time, some of the skills Lei Chao taught her came in handy.
If she combines her skills with absolute strength and speed in the future, it will really be... Lei Chao can't even imagine how powerful she will be.
After just a few days of practice, Rong Xiao made great progress.
Not only Rong Xiao, but everyone else also clearly felt that their physical fitness and reaction ability had been significantly improved.
But every day when I go home, I feel exhausted. No matter it is windy or rainy, the training will not be interrupted. The purpose is to train them to be able to cope with any extreme situation.
After 10 days of continuous training, Lei Chao finally revealed a little about the selection of captain and vice-captain. Once this is confirmed, they will prepare to leave the safe zone to search for supplies.
The sun is setting in the west, the sunlight is mixed in the clouds, and the color of the sky is beautiful like a painting.
Everyone who had just finished training was dragging their feet in twos and threes, heading home.
Coming out of the training ground, they glanced towards the direction of the safe zone gate and saw that it was extremely lively as if something had happened.
Rong Xiao stopped curiously and tugged at Yan Jue beside him: "Is someone coming?"
The noise at the gate was not panic, but more like...joyful excitement.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ling Xuting looked over absentmindedly, and suddenly his body seemed to be frozen, motionless like a stone.
Yan Jue, who noticed something strange beside him, turned his head and was about to pat his shoulder to show his concern, when he saw Ling Xuting running out like an arrow.
On weekdays, even when killing zombies, Ling Xuting is calm and composed, as if he never has any major emotional ups and downs.
The tired-looking teammates were completely dumbfounded. They watched Ling Xuting sprint forward, rushing straight to a girl, opening his arms to hug her tightly, and rubbing his face gently against her hair.
Ling Xuting's unexpected move not only stunned Yan Jue and the others, but also surprised the other two girls beside the girl.
The three girls seemed to know each other, and there were about twenty children following them, even the children were scared.
"What's going on? Did I see it wrong?" Su Ming took the initiative to talk to Yan Jue for the first time, pulling his sleeve desperately with his hands.
After all, Yan Jue and Ling Xuting have known each other for the longest time, so he should know more than anyone else.
"It should be...his fiancée." Yan Jue looked at the two people hugging each other for a long time in the sunset, and probably guessed something.
Ling Xuting rarely talked about himself. When Yan Jue met him, in order to find out more about him, he tried to find out about his past, and only then did he get a rough idea of the situation about Ling Xuting's fiancée.
The two work in different cities and only have time to meet during holidays, but they have a good relationship.
After the end of the world, they lost contact.
Ling Xuting's fiancée is a kindergarten teacher. He immediately rushed to the kindergarten where his fiancée worked, regardless of the danger...
But when we arrived, there was no one alive in the kindergarten.
He searched everywhere nearby, but still couldn't find his fiancée. The apocalypse made the entire city increasingly grim. In order to survive, Ling Xuting drove back to You'an City, where the situation was not so serious at the time, and met Yan Jue on the road.
With a team and awakened superpowers, Ling Xuting traveled to many places in the apocalypse in order to lead everyone to survive.
But he didn't expect that his fiancée, whom he thought was gone, would appear in front of him unharmed.
Ling Xuting was not used to expressing his emotions. Even if he was sad and painful, he would just digest it by himself. Occasionally, the pain that filled his heart would be concealed silently.
But this moment.
The powerful impact caused Ling Xuting to completely lose control.
He hugged the girl tightly, and the two of them hugged each other, unable to say a word for a long time.
There was a group of children gathered around, their faces were dirty, but they were all calm. Or perhaps it should be said that they all raised their heads with curiosity.
"Teacher Chen, Teacher Wang...what's the matter?" The child pulled the other two girls next to him and asked curiously.
Teacher Chen and Teacher Wang had already burst into tears. They squatted down and touched the child's head, tears glistening in their eyes: "Teacher Gao has found his family."
The child's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands happily, the duck pattern on his chest swaying: "Great! That's great!"
"Children," the uniformed staff member said, smiling as she stepped forward to take over. "Follow us to the small house next door to register your information. Maybe you can find your family there!"
The kid wearing the duck pattern was stunned for a moment, his eyes red: "My parents are dead."
The staff member's smile suddenly disappeared, and he felt a soreness in his nose and a choking throat, unable to speak.
She squatted down and held the child in her arms, her palms gently combing his warm hair: "It's safe here, there's no need to be afraid from now on."
"Yes, I'm very strong," the child nodded vigorously, "Teacher Chen, Teacher Wang, and Teacher Gao all need my care."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the girl who was hugging Ling Xuting.
"However, Mr. Gao probably won't need my protection anymore."
The staff members were heartbroken by the child's mature tone.
After the joy of reunion, Ling Xuting finally felt the countless pairs of eyes watching him, especially the curious eyes of the children, and slowly loosened his arms.
He smiled sheepishly and gestured to the girl towards the team not far away: "My teammates, my current teammates."
The girl's skin was very fair, just stained with a lot of dirt, but when she smiled she gave people a sunny feeling.
She nodded to everyone, then quickly turned around and counted the number of children around her. After confirming that there were no missing people, she said to the staff member next to her, "We need to register, right?"
The staff motioned for them to follow them.
Just as the girl was about to hold the child's hand, Ling Xuting held her hand tightly. The man next to her didn't say anything, just frowned at her.
"It's very safe here. I'll go help the children register and come back to you after I'm done, okay?" The tone of his voice was as if he was coaxing Ling Xuting as if he were a child.
Ling Xuting still didn't let go: "I'll go with you."
The girl smiled and nodded after hearing this. She held the child's hand with one hand, and Ling Xuting held the other hand, and followed beside him like a big and small friend.
The scene made Yan Jue want to laugh. Ling Xuting seemed to have sensed the change in the atmosphere over there and turned around and gestured towards him.
Yan Jue suppressed his laughter, understood, and nodded seriously.
After watching Ling Xuting and the group of children walk away, Su Ming finally felt relieved and gossiped loudly: "Wow, God finally has eyes, and good people are rewarded."
"I'm a little touched." Old Wei looked in the direction where Ling Xuting left, his voice firm and resolute.
Beiran looked up curiously, but didn't find any sign of being touched on his face. But considering what Lao Wei said, he must be really touched.
As it was getting dark, everyone went home separately and used the remaining living expenses to buy some food on the way back.
The food in the safe zone is not as abundant as before, but the stability and worry-free environment here are a thousand times better than the outside world.
Especially for Rong Xiao, who had eaten grass and other strange foods, this place was a paradise, a paradise she had never seen before!
Everyone went home with their food, but Yan Jue found a small street shop to eat and did not go back, but walked in another direction.
He came to the gate of Ling Xuting's community, looked up at the time on the billboard not far away, and waited at the door with his arms folded.
The sky gradually darkened.
But the city did not quiet down because of the darkness, and it still had a rare bustle and atmosphere of life.
Yan Jue quietly appreciated this rare situation, and a long-lost sense of security emerged in his heart.
After waiting for almost an hour, Ling Xuting finally appeared at the intersection. He seemed to have expected Yan Jue to come find him, and he looked around as if he was looking for someone before entering the community.
When their eyes met, there was a smile of understanding in their eyes.
After Ling Xuting invited Yan Jue upstairs, he poured him a glass of water: "I knew you would come."
"I know you knew I would come." Yan Jue smiled and said back.
"We just finished registering and assigned everyone accommodations. I sent them back and sat for a while before coming back." Ling Xuting also held a glass of water. "Did you wait a long time?"
"Soon, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Ling Xuting was silent for a moment, then took a sip of water and said, "I might have to quit the team."
This answer seemed to be within Yan Jue's expectations, but when he really heard Ling Xuting say it himself, he still underestimated his own reaction.
The fingers holding the cup trembled involuntarily, and a feeling of discomfort began to flow through the blood.
But Yan Jue didn't show any abnormality. He just raised his head and looked into his eyes seriously: "Have you thought it through?"
"Ever since we met, you've known I've wanted to find Gao Qin," Ling Xuting said with a determined look. "Many children haven't found their families yet, so the safe zone arranged for her to go to Zone H, which is closer to the center and has resources suitable for children. Gao Qin and other teachers can take one person with them, and she wanted me to go too, so I agreed."
"Very good," Yan Jue nodded, "It took a lot of effort to find her."
"But……"
"Don't think about anything else," Yan Jue interrupted Ling Xuting without hesitation, hearing the worry in his voice. "You've already lost a lot of time together. If you want to go, just follow your own ideas without hesitation. Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of it."
Ling Xuting subconsciously clenched the cup and looked at him gratefully. It took him a long time before he softly said "hmm".
After a long silence.
"Thank you" echoed in the air again.
After leaving Ling Xuting's house, Yan Jue walked out of the community, walked around the street, and stopped at a seemingly quiet roadside.
Although what he said just now was an understatement, the person he needed to explain and convince the most was not others, but himself.
Since the end of the world, Yan Jue and Ling Xuting have known each other the earliest and have the closest connection.
Ling Xuting can share the images that others see into other people's minds, and Yan Jue is often the one being shared.
The supernatural power is limited, and Ling Xuting can only designate two people at most and share it with two people. Yan Jue is one of these two people, and this is unchangeable.
Now…the friend who had fought side by side with me since the end of the world and had been with me the longest was leaving his team.
Even though he had the heart and the strength to comfort Rong Xiao, when it came to himself, he couldn't get rid of that indescribable feeling of loss.
Yan Jue walked slowly back to the community, went upstairs, and just as he got out of the elevator, he saw a person squatting at his door from afar.
The lights in the corridor lit up, and Yan Jue saw a round object moving towards him with a "woof woof woof" sound. The dark shadow of the cat not far away turned out to be Rong Xiao.
"Yan Jue, Yan Jue, look at the toy I bought today. It's a toy puppy. It can move as long as it is wound up!" As soon as Rong Xiao saw people, he immediately jumped up from the ground, picked up the puppy and held it in the palm of his hand to show him.
The puppy was well made and looked like it was a stock produced a long time ago. The small one lay in Rong Xiao's palm and kept barking after being wound up.
Yan Jue forced a smile, took the puppy and looked at it carefully: "It's very cute, but... is it expensive?"
"Not expensive!" Rong Xiao immediately shook his head. "The boss said that not many people would buy this thing in the end times, so he sold it for 5 yuan."
When the living expenses were distributed before, each person received 100 yuan. 5 yuan was not a big expense for Rong Xiao.
As long as she is happy.
"Are you here to show me your puppy?" Yan Jue opened the door, invited Rong Xiao into the house, and took out some biscuits and drinks and stuffed them into her hands.
"Yeah, I thought of you right after I bought it, and wanted to show it to you."
Rong Xiao had not seen many toys, and this kind of thing, which was not rare for others, was extremely novel to her. As soon as she got it, she was eager to find someone to share it with, and the first person she thought of was Yan Jue who lived nearby.
If it were someone else, they might not care about Rong Xiao’s little excitement.
Yan Jue, however, carefully helped her clean the puppy's hair, combed it neatly, wound it up, and put it on the table.
The toy puppy immediately began to waddle and move, barking happily.
"Have you named it?" Yan Jue asked, lowering his eyes and catching the puppy that was about to fall out.
"Yan Jue."
???
Yan Jue suddenly looked up at Rong Xiao and found her sitting on the sofa opposite him, looking at him very seriously: "Are you unhappy?"
Good... that was close...
So it was him.
Yan Jue almost thought that he would have the same name as a toy puppy.
"No." He was very confident in concealing his emotions. The extent of his smile and the message flowing in his eyes were all perfect disguises of his current mood.
Rong Xiao was silent for a while, then simply moved to his side: "Don't lie, you are obviously unhappy."
Disguising emotions has always been Yan Jue's strong point, and he has never fallen into the trap of others.
But at this moment, he actually felt that Rong Xiao's eyes were like a ray of light, penetrating all his disguises and seeing him clearly.
Even if I pretend to be nonchalant and deny it, I still look like a clown trying hard to make amends, and even feel a little embarrassed.
Yan Jue didn't answer, as if waiting for Rong Xiao to let the matter go.
But he was overthinking it.
How could it be so easy for Rong Xiao to be distracted by something he was curious about?
In the end, he compromised and told the truth: "Well... a little bit."
"Why? Can I help?" Rong Xiao leaned forward a little, his eyes staring at him blankly and flickeringly, like a key that easily opened the door that Yan Jue had erected over the years and drilled into his heart.
Yan Jue stared at the motionless toy puppy in his hand: "Xu Ting wants to quit the team. He wants to follow his fiancée to Area H."
"Then should we go to a safer place and live a more peaceful life like Shangguan and the others?" Rong Xiao said whatever he thought.
The words sounded simple, but it was like something suddenly pierced his heart.
yes.
Ling Xuting has been through life and death with them and experienced all kinds of life. Now he can finally go to a safer place to live a peaceful life. Why is he so upset here? Shouldn't we be happy for him?
"Will you miss Shangguan and the others?"
"I do, but when I think about them being reunited with their families in District Y, I feel really good." Rong Xiao grabbed the toy puppy and laid it down on his sofa. "Brother Long and Sister Xi's families are gone, and Brother Chuan's family hasn't been found either. I also want to know if I still have family... It's really an incredibly lucky thing to be able to meet my family."
"Haha," Yan Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Yes, this is a good thing."
His irritability was simply due to his momentary reluctance, an emotion ingrained in his bones.
"Yan Jue, your sofa is so comfortable and spacious..." Rong Xiao was still talking, but he hugged the puppy and rested his head on the pillow next to him, and fell asleep so sleepily.
I fell asleep in seconds.
When Yan Jue realized that the person was already asleep, he was about to reach out his hand, but a strange feeling in his bones stopped his subconscious behavior.
He didn't wake her up or move her, but just grabbed a blanket and gently covered Rong Xiao with it.
Rong Xiao is a very light sleeper, and if someone touches her, she will easily wake up. It is hard to say whether this overly sensitive alertness is a good thing or a bad thing.
That night, Rong Xiao did not see Teacher Mosaic in his dream, but he kept feeling that there were clanging sounds around him, as if someone was rummaging through something. It was not until the second half of the night that the noise became quiet.
Early in the morning, sunlight streamed through the window, about to cover Rong Xiao's eyes.
She stood up with a start, and suddenly remembered that she had to train today, and almost fell off the sofa.
There was a hot breakfast on the table in the living room.
Rong Xiaodong looked around and then remembered that he was at Yan Jue's house and slept until morning.
"Are you awake? Have breakfast. I just bought it."
Rong Xiao nodded, divided the food on the table into two portions, and only ate his own portion.
Yan Jue seemed to be packing up. After getting ready, he grabbed a bun from the table and started chewing on it as he was about to go out. "I called Xu Ting. He's leaving for H City soon. I'll go see him off before going to training. You should have breakfast and rest for a while..."
"I'm going too!" Rong Xiao said as he got up from the carpet, straightened his clothes, and was even more eager to try than Yan Jue.
Yan Jue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "Then let's go together."
Rong Xiao placed his palm on it without hesitation, squeezed it hard, and pulled Yan Jue out.
His original intention was just to express an invitation, but he never expected that Yan Jue would hold his hand. Like a cat whose claws had suddenly been smoothed, he locked the door and quietly let Rong Xiao hold his hand.
It took almost twenty minutes to walk to the starting point, and Rong Xiao never let go of his hand.
The two of them were rushing through the crowded morning crowd, but no matter where Rong Xiao went, she held his hand tightly, only occasionally stopping to ask him which way to go.
From a distance, they saw a bus with many children standing quietly around it.
The children from yesterday have already changed into clean clothes, and so have the three teachers.
Yan Jue saw Gao Qin at a glance, and beside her was Ling Xuting, who was always with her.
As if sensing something, Ling Xuting turned his head and saw Yan Jue. He spoke a few words to Gao Qin before reluctantly letting go of her hand.
"Here I am. We may leave in half an hour." Ling Xuting seldom smiles. Even Yan Jue, who knew him the earliest, hardly ever sees him smile.
But now Ling Xuting seemed to be unaware of the smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with a light that had never been there before.
The sunlight made his eyes a light brown, as clear as two pieces of amber.
Yan Jue handed over the bag in his hand: "Here, it's for you."
"What is it?" Ling Xuting wanted to open it and see, but Yan Jue covered the bag.
"Let's see when we get in the car."
Yan Jue looked mysterious. Ling Xuting glanced at the bag, smiled, and put the things away.
"Captain!" Su Ming's voice came from behind.
Not only Su Ming came, but also Bei Ran, Nie Fuxi and Lao Wei.
Ling Xuting was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Have you informed everyone?"
"Isn't this what I should do? You're going somewhere else, so it's okay to see you off." Yan Jue answered confidently.
No one asked Ling Xuting to stay, but they just smiled and told him to take good care of himself and keep in touch. Ling Xuting also formally introduced his teammates who had shared life and death with him to Gao Qin.
In fact, Ling Xuting had imagined such a scene countless times.
I just didn't expect that when everything became a reality, it would be the time for us to separate.
The other two teachers first organized the children to get on the bus and sit down. When everything was almost ready, Teacher Wang opened the window and gave a quiet reminder.
"It's almost time to go." Gao Qin grabbed Ling Xuting's hand, not wanting to disturb their farewell.
Ling Xuting nodded, smiled, and waved to everyone who came to see him off: "Goodbye."
Everyone was laughing, watching Ling Xuting and Gao Qin get into the car, and then staring at the face that was trying to stick out of the car window until it was getting farther and farther away and could no longer be seen clearly.
When the car drove away, Beiran burst into tears: "Wow, the captain is gone..."
"Puh, you're a jerk," Su Ming said, his eyes red as he raised his hand and punched him. "Don't make it sound like Captain Ling is such a big deal. He and his family just moved to a new place and won't get involved in anything risky again."
"For him, this is the best decision." Yan Jue folded his hands and kept looking in the same direction even though he could no longer see the rear of the car.
Rong Xiao would glance at him secretly from time to time. Although she knew that he didn't seem to be in a very good mood, the aura on Yan Jue... seemed to tell her that he didn't want others to know what he was thinking.
After a brief hesitation, Rong Xiao felt that not bringing it up would make Yan Jue feel a little better.
This is probably what Mr. Mosaic used to talk about as your own space.
It contains emotions and feelings that do not want to be seen through, and do not need to be forcibly dug out and shown to others.
She already knew what Yan Jue was thinking last night, and now that there were other people around, she didn't have to do anything.
The car drove smoothly towards area H.
Gao Qin leaned on Ling Xuting's shoulder and saw the bag in his hand. She asked curiously, "What is this?"
"By the way, it was given to me by Yan Jue."
Thinking of Yan Jue’s previous instructions, I thought that the car had been driven out for so long, so it should be open now, right?
Open the bag with the opening taped shut, and you'll find a white cube-shaped box inside.
There was a string of English words on the outside of the box. When the box was opened, it was covered with black velvet cloth, and two diamond rings were placed side by side in the middle.
"This..." Gao Qin looked at Ling Xuting in surprise.
Two red diamonds are inlaid in the middle. The ring style is very unique, simple yet design-conscious.
The rings are one thick and one thin. The thick one is the men's wedding ring and the thinner one is the women's wedding ring.
The color of this diamond looked very familiar to Ling Xuting.
He took out the diamonds he had obtained from a previous mission from his backpack, compared them together, and found that this pair of wedding rings should be the diamonds he had obtained before, which were polished and set.
There was a note under the box: Happy wedding!
Signed: Yan Jue.
But next to it was the word "Rong Xiao" written in crooked handwriting.
Ling Xuting smiled and curved his eyes, then took the ring out of the box: "Would you like to wear it?"
There was no ceremonial proposal, no touching vows. For Gao Qin, the peace and reunion she could still enjoy at this moment was the best testimony.
She nodded and handed over her hand.
The sun is shining.
On a pair of clasped hands by the window, a pair of red diamond rings sparkled brightly.
………………
After seeing Ling Xuting off, the others had to rush back to the training ground.
Today is different from usual. There is one less person in the team. I heard that new team members have been transferred to fill the number.
At the same time, the team captain and vice-captain must be selected, and they will go out to perform tasks after a while.
Everyone stood in a row, staring curiously at the small gate beside the training ground, wanting to see what the new players looked like.
Fang Yi at the back was talking quietly to Bei Ran, hoping that someone who was easy to talk to would come.
"Everyone—"
With a bang, the door was almost kicked open.
The door hit the partition violently and bounced back, and a hand suddenly pressed down on the door panel.
Rong Xiao was the most curious one and the one who looked most carefully.
When the figure outside the door walked in, she jumped up on the spot and rushed over to give him a big hug: "Brother Chuan!!!"
