Chapter 260 Crying is the best way to vent your emotions
Qiu Ming did not give them time to think, and continued, "The life and death of all mankind is one. Once a huge disaster strikes, no base can be immune. I hope you can think carefully, Xiao Jin, and don't lead the base into the war because of a momentary confusion."
Qiu Ming was telling the truth. In times of crisis, in order to grab water resources, the Leia base would undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.
Jin Mohan did not immediately agree to Qiu Ming's request. He only said that the scenery of the Leia base was beautiful and asked them to stay for a while to experience the living atmosphere of the Leia base.
Meiyu immediately went to arrange accommodation for Qiu Ming and others to stay there.
After the people from the unified base left, Jiang Zixuan asked, "What do you want to do?"
It was a rare occasion that his wife took the initiative to ask, so Jin Mohan answered faster than a rocket, "Do you want to know? If you want to know..."
Jiang Zixuan turned around and left to find Leng Mo to ask for clarification.
In the evening, a party was held at the Leia base to entertain a group of people from the same base.
This was the first diplomatic interaction between the two allied bases. Leng Mo and others attached great importance to it and arranged all matters properly.
At the banquet, there were not only beef, mutton, chicken, duck, seafood, vegetables and fruits, but also red wine, tea and drinks, which was quite rich in the end times.
Jiang Zixuan also took a few children to play in the hall and told them not to run around.
Jin Mohan was entertaining the people from the unified base. After noticing Qiu Ming walking towards Jiang Zixuan, he hesitated and did not go over.
After all, they are father and daughter, so if they have any grudges, they should resolve them themselves.
Jiang Zixuan was peeling shrimps for Richard. This child was the most enthusiastic about eating. Once he saw food, his legs could not move.
"Zixuan baby," Qiu Ming came over with a smile on his face and said amiably, "You didn't eat much tonight, did you? Daddy brought you steak and grilled scallops. Do you like them?"
Jiang Zixuan glanced at him, thinking that this was a diplomatic occasion between the two bases after all, and she couldn't be too heartless.
"Thank you, Commander Qiu, but I've already eaten, so please leave me alone."
Qiu Ming pretended not to hear her refusal and put the plate down, saying, "I heard from Li Ren that you are not very picky about food, so Daddy brought you a variety of dishes. If you don't like something, pick it out and Daddy will prepare it later."
"I don't have the habit of letting others eat my leftovers." Jiang Zixuan fed the shrimp meat to Richard and said, "If you are here to talk about the water source, I'm sorry, this is not my business."
Qiu Ming smiled cautiously, "Dad just wanted to chat with you and learn about your recent situation. There is no other intention."
Richard looked at Qiu Ming curiously, and then asked Jiang Zixuan, "Aunt Zixuan, this uncle looks a bit like you. Is he your dad?"
Qiu Ming was overjoyed. He nodded before Jiang Zixuan could speak and said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, uncle is the daddy of this beautiful aunt."
Jiang Zixuan rolled her eyes silently and patted Richard's head, "Are you full? If you are, go play with Aunt Lai Lai and Ming Ming and the others. Don't run too far."
Richard nodded, smiled and ran away.
After Richard left, Jiang Zixuan frowned and looked at Qiu Ming.
"Commander Qiu, I am very grateful for the ring, but no matter what, I will not give it back to you. Also, for diplomatic matters, please go to the boss or Ke Zhenshan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am not responsible for the base's diplomatic relations."
She rejected Qiu Ming's approach without any room for negotiation, which made Qiu Ming feel a little disappointed.
"Zixuan, do you really hate daddy?"
Jiang Zixuan turned her face away, "I don't hate you, but relatively speaking, I really can't have a closer relationship with you."
It was good that Qiu Ming prepared a space ring for her, but that was information she had obtained at the cost of her tragic death.
In her previous life, she had no space ring and no special powers, and she had to escape the apocalypse with her two children. That miserable experience could not be diluted by time.
But she also knew that it was wrong to vent her anger on Qiu Ming, as Qiu Ming also had his own difficulties and beliefs.
He was too fair, strict, and righteous, and always had the people in his heart. He was unable to put his daughter, whom he had never met, in the most important position.
Even as a daughter, Jiang Zixuan, Qiu Ming could not ask him to focus all his attention on her.
Taking various factors into consideration, Jiang Zixuan felt that it would be best for her and Qiu Ming to maintain the status quo.
Neither close nor distant, maintaining superficial courtesy.
Ignoring Qiu Ming who wanted to say something, Jiang Zixuan turned and walked out of the hall.
On the balcony, Jingchen was talking to Qiu Liren, and both of them looked a little sad.
Jiang Zixuan walked over and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Jiang Liang come tonight? I almost fainted because of those kids running around."
Only now did she realize how difficult it was to take care of four or five children at the same time. She really didn't know how Jiang Liang managed to make these children behave like little lambs.
Jingchen said helplessly, "Aliang has a cold, and he doesn't like such lively occasions, so I asked him to rest at home."
"Wow, that's so thoughtful." Jiang Zixuan stood next to Qiu Liren and looked towards the dazzling base.
The hall is located on a high ground, and standing on the balcony, one can have a panoramic view of the entire base.
Under the lights of thousands of homes, there is not the slightest sense of the end of the world, but rather a warm atmosphere of life.
Jingchen enjoyed the breeze for a while, then patted Qiu Liren on the shoulder and said, "I'll go in first, you two can chat slowly."
Qiu Liren nodded and watched him leave.
Jiang Zixuan had noticed that the two of them had been chatting outside for at least an hour, probably talking about Dan Changcheng.
She also wanted to ask about Shan Changcheng, but she was afraid of touching Qiu Liren's sore spot, so she didn't dare to open her mouth.
Qiu Liren's mental state was more depressed and decadent than ever before. Jiang Zixuan noticed this immediately after seeing him.
So, the Great Wall may really be...
"Brother, if you feel bad, just cry." Jiang Zixuan whispered, "Crying is the best way to vent your emotions. If you keep holding it in, it will only make you feel worse."
Qiu Liren laughed softly, then looked up at the sky, his chin twitching slightly.
"Zi Xuan, he's dead, really dead..."
Qiu Liren cried hoarsely, causing Jiang Zixuan's heart to tremble violently, as if it was being tightly grasped by a hand, causing her to be unable to breathe due to the pain.
Although I have already prepared myself mentally, but...
She walked slowly forward, pulled Qiu Liren to sit on the chair, gently hugged him and patted his back.
"Just cry, you'll feel better after you vent."
Qiu Liren clenched his teeth and didn't really cry loudly, but his shoulders kept shaking, and his suppressed crying made Jiang Zixuan very uncomfortable.
For someone like him, it is not easy to show vulnerability in front of others.
He has seen off many companions along the way, and each time it brought him great sadness.
However, this time, Shan Changcheng's departure made him even more desperate. He felt as if a big piece of his heart was dug out, causing him pain, depression and extreme discomfort.
He had a lot of things he hadn't said to Shan Changcheng, and some things he hadn't had time to confirm. He also hadn't been able to thank Shan Changcheng for his selfless protection along the way, nor had he been able to apologize for his deliberate alienation and coldness.
It happened so suddenly that Qiu Liren didn't have time to do anything. He had to watch Shan Changcheng disappear forever before his eyes.
