Chapter 79 Slowly Filling in True Feelings
Yu Shuang's question stunned everyone.
Tang Long was the first to anxiously ask, "Captain, why would you think that?"
Without Sister Qi, we wouldn't be where we are today...
This brings us back to the point. Tang Long paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Didn't you discuss with us when Sister Qi wanted to join the team?"
"Wouldn't it be our choice to let her join?"
Once you make a choice, you must bear the consequences.
But the underlying meaning of these words still seems to be that because of Qi An's existence, they have to endure something...
Tang Long was skillful with his hands but clumsy with his words. He realized that what he had just said was also wrong, but he was stuck for a moment.
"If you gain something, you must bear the consequences."
First, think about how much honor and connections we've gained since having Xiao Qi—things we never dared to dream of before. And also…”
Su Qingran has always been meticulous and thoughtful, and she has actually harbored feelings of scrutiny, suspicion, and even jealousy towards Qi An. However, hearing Yu Shuang use the word "resentment" still made her instinctively angry.
"We should also think about problems from outside our own circle."
The attacking force was the Fallen Insects, the mission was issued by the command center, and the people of the base were counting on us.
"What did Xiao Qi do? Xiao Qi was just doing his best to complete the mission and protect us!" Su Qingran said angrily. When she was rational, she was always more quick-witted and had a broader perspective than Tang Long and Zhuang Xiao.
Su Qingran's anger made Yu Shuang laugh: "Yes, yes, it's my problem to bring up Xiao Qi."
When she thought of Qi An, she couldn't help but think of the subtle and hidden thoughts of those who might hurt her.
Just as Su Qingran had imagined, Qi An first gave them wings, granting their team an extraordinary opportunity.
For Shuang, this was an opportunity to realize her dream!
Her dream is to become the base commander-in-chief and a female general!
Perhaps even without Qi An, she might have eventually reached that point. But it was only because Qi An approached their little campfire on that misty morning that this dream shone so clearly on her path!
“I choose to stay,” Yu Shuang said.
Not everyone can take advantage of the good fortune brought by Xiao Qi. Their journey to where they are today is also the result of their hard work and struggles in blood and fire.
She chose to stay, even though she might die at any moment. But I've never heard of any respectable general who wouldn't dare face a powerful enemy or be unwilling to protect the people.
“Anyway, I choose to stay. If I die, don’t forget to apply to headquarters for a posthumous medal, the bigger the better!” Yu Shuang stood up, put his hands on his hips, and laughed.
“During combat, I will stay further back,” Su Qingran said.
"I...I might too," Tang Long whispered.
“Okay!” Yu Shuang said.
Although the situation on the battlefield, especially against an Ash Priest, can change in an instant, it's hard to say whether it's safe to stay back, or even if it is.
But the two were honestly stating their position.
They didn't dream of becoming generals; they felt that life was the most important thing, which is normal.
Yu Shuang felt a little lost, but she was never one to be burdened by heavy emotions. She quickly calmed down, walked briskly towards the lively bonfire.
Zhao Bohan followed her.
"Old Zhao, what's your dream?" Yu Shuang suddenly asked.
Zhao Bohan glanced at her indifferently, as if to say, "You don't know?"
Yu Shuang was baffled.
This man is so taciturn and mysterious; his deepest thoughts are as if they were locked up a hundred times! He never said anything, so how did she know?
Zhao Bohan seemed to realize that he had never seriously talked about dreams or anything like that, so he looked away and touched his nose.
There are three things I want to do.
1. Become someone who can set rules; 2. Stay with the person you love for a long time...
The last item was added this year.
"What is it?" Yu Shuang raised an eyebrow.
Zhao Bohan looked at Qi An's small, huddled figure in the crowd and said, "I hope to see Xiao Qi have a peaceful end."
Qi An couldn't sing a single note in the crowd, especially with so many people looking on with such anticipation and teasing.
The only solution everyone could agree was for the two of them to each sing a song.
Qi An was extremely curious about Feng Xu's singing voice and immediately looked at him expectantly.
Perhaps her gaze was too direct? A noticeable blush appeared on the man's slightly lowered cheeks.
However, Feng Xu bypassed Qiao Zheng and sat down next to her.
The man's voice was already very pleasant when he spoke, and when he sang, it was even more melodious and gentle when it was low, and clear and melodious when it was high!
Qi An had heard mostly male singers from Zhuang Xiao in real life... How could he not be captivated this time? He listened and watched in a daze.
Feng Xu's overall volume wasn't loud, as if it were sung specifically for her.
And perhaps because of her rapt gaze, the man's heart blossomed. After he finished singing, the smile on his face lingered for a long time. He whispered, "Back at the base, I can play and sing for you."
Qi An: !
She was so excited she couldn't wait to get back to base!
Since Feng Xu has already sung, Qi An naturally can't escape it either.
Back at the old base, after she bought her phone and listened to the two old songs that came with it and could be set as ringtones, she actually spent her contribution points to buy a large amount of Boeing source data and downloaded it to her phone.
Qi An had many songs in his head, but without any selection, one song immediately popped into his head:
The world has given me the chirping of insects, and it has also given me thunder.
You gave me a crescent moon, and you also gave me the evening stars.
It gave me an illness, and then I slowly recovered by ringing the wind chimes.
It gave me nothing, but slowly filled it with true feelings...
Her singing voice seemed to blend moonlight and starlight, or to emanate crisply from the pure, untainted wind chimes of her heart.
Everyone fell silent, stunned by what they heard. Yu Shuang, who was a little further away, felt her eyes welling up with tears.
Feng Xu couldn't tear his gaze away from Qi An, from her eyes, even for a moment.
But the surging sea breeze, accompanied by the melodious song, also swept furiously towards the land.
Qi An's remaining wisp of consciousness in the darkness clearly sensed that the being they were waiting for was about to land.
