"I saw him."
Ke Bing originally thought Zhao Xuerou would be very happy and overjoyed, because she had mentioned countless times that she wanted to see Jiang Cheng since she came to the Federation, and she had been depressed for a long time because Luo Xiaoli could see whoever she wanted to see at will.
But now, she looked forlorn as she spoke, and her eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.
What exactly happened?
Ke Bing had some doubts, but she was too embarrassed to ask in front of the guards, so she could only brush past Zhao Xuerou.
As she walked to the corner, she didn't forget to look back.
The elevator doors were about to close, and through that tiny crack, the last thing she saw was Zhao Xuerou covering her mouth with her hand, tears already streaming down her face…
Ke Bing was stunned.
Even after the elevator doors closed, she stared at them for a long time before snapping out of her daze, touching her nose, and looking toward the room in the middle of the floor not far away.
The sign above reads "Federal Deputy Command Office".
Composing herself, Ke Bing took a deep breath, walked over, and stood in front of the door.
She was about to knock on the door, but hesitated.
What identity should I use to speak with Jiang Cheng?
Friend? Superior and subordinate? Or Lan Jing's classmate?
This is really troublesome... Ke Bing thought about it and realized that this was a real headache.
Never mind, she knocked on the door.
A few seconds later, the door opened, and Gu Qingwan's face came into view.
"Come in."
After she stepped into the room, she looked around with some curiosity, unlike Zhao Xuerou who was so reserved and nervous.
Jiang Cheng's attitude towards her wasn't that serious either.
After Ke Bing entered the main office, she and Jiang Cheng exchanged a smile and sat down, instantly creating a relaxed atmosphere.
Friends are a mysterious and great word. It encompasses everything that can be done in any relationship in the world, free and unrestrained, without being bound by each other.
This relationship is so beautiful it's unbelievable.
I don't know why some people always want to turn such a beautiful relationship into a romantic one, creating a trap for themselves and their partner.
It's probably because of possession.
The desire to have a thrilling memory or someone who makes you happy is not enough.
Because he can give anyone memories and satisfy anyone.
Only when he belongs exclusively to me, filling my world and allowing no one else to interfere, will I be satisfied.
Possessiveness is the most dangerous aspect of a romantic relationship.
Ke Bing understands this principle deeply, so she lives freely and never oversteps the bounds.
"You did a great job. I underestimated you. You're ranked very high," Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"Really? Let me see."
Ke Bing took the list from Jiang Cheng and searched for her name on it. When she saw her data, she suddenly smiled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
Ke Bing gave a thumbs up, "I have to give myself a thumbs up. I never expected to achieve such results before I came here. I didn't expect that I would have such talent!"
Jiang Cheng laughed along with her.
"By the way, is everything alright at the dorm? And how are the classes?"
"It's alright, it's just a bit tough, but I can keep going."
As Ke Bing was speaking, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the window.
From the tenth floor, she leaned against the window, peering curiously down. From this angle, she could see a vast expanse of lush green grass. She could also see researchers coming and going, and the horizon met the mountain peaks—a beautiful sight.
"The environment here is really nice."
Nonsense, he's a commander now, how rudimentary could his conditions be?
Putting aside everything else, the entire federal government's financial support is backed by the combined capital of all the major powers, making its strength unimaginable.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that the cafeteria has gathered chefs from all over the world.
The goal is to ensure that students don't have to worry about anything except focusing on training.
Jiang Cheng didn't speak. Instead, he picked up a document from the table and examined it carefully. Ke Bing, sitting behind him, was admiring it on her own. The atmosphere was quiet, and no one was in a hurry to speak.
This kind of relationship is really interesting. You don't need to rack your brains to think of what to say; the other person probably understands what you're thinking.
After watching for a while, Ke Bing finally remembered the important matter. She turned around and asked, "By the way, why did Xiao Rou cry after she went out? What did you say to her?"
Xiao Rou? Jiang Cheng snapped out of his reverie from the documents.
He truly hadn't expected that these two sworn enemies, who always fought whenever they met, could develop such an intimate relationship, even using nicknames for each other.
"I didn't say anything, I just advised her to give up."
"Why?"
"Because the consequences of going to the front lines are quite terrible. Life and death are just a matter of a single thought, it's not child's play, and besides, she wasn't the best choice."
"So you're going to tell me to give up too?"
"Yes, so what's your choice?"
"Of course I won't leave, it's fine..." Ke Bing waved her hand. "Anyway, I think I'll be eliminated in the next exam, so I'll just go back to Lanjing. Let nature take its course. This experience is quite memorable."
"You're quite carefree." Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
For some reason, the dynamic between the two people in the conversation changed within a short period of time. They acted more like old classmates catching up, and the atmosphere was anything but serious.
Ke Bing sat back down and stared at his cheek, making Jiang Cheng feel uneasy, as if there was something on his face.
He took a wary step back, unaccustomed to Ke Bing's almost overflowing enthusiasm in her gaze. "What's wrong...?"
"Incredible," Ke Bing clicked her tongue, repeating the four words again, and then rested her chin on her hand, examining it for a long time.
“A long, long time ago, not long after we met, I knew you were incredibly talented, a promising young man. But I never imagined you could reach this point, sitting in such a high position. Do you remember when you were in Lanjing? You were just an incredibly naive young boy, and now you've changed so much. Looking at you now, although you still speak the same way, your tone, the feeling you give off, even your face... you've become more and more mature, Jiang Cheng,” she finished, then added, “The change is so great that I find it unbelievable. Who could have imagined that you, who used to sneak up through my window, could now command the highest realms... Can you tell me what that feels like?”
"I didn't feel much, just immense pressure and responsibility, just striving for something."
"Why what?"
"For the sake of all living beings under heaven."
Ke Bing came out of the office shortly after.
I took the elevator down to the lobby, then stepped out of the building. Everything opened up before me, and the cool air filled my mouth.
Her mind was still blank, those words kept repeating in her head, and they really shocked her.
All living beings under heaven.
The pressure was certainly enough.
