Qiao Xuejun immediately made amends and praised frankly: "Lord, you are such a good person."
"And thank you for bringing me up here yesterday."
She was tall and heavy. Zhao Xian had to carry her up the mountain with great effort. Qiao Xuejun also kept it in mind.
Zhao Xian adjusted the position of the ice pack on his ankle and wiped the dripping water with a dry towel next to him.
He asked, "Didn't you call me Zhao Xian yesterday?"
Qiao Xuejun changed the subject: "How is my experimental field? I want to go and take a look."
Zhao Xian: "Jin Yiyun went to check it out this morning. The rapeseed was not damaged, but the rye was the most damaged, about 20 plants fell down."
Qiao Xuejun nodded. The damage was not serious. However, she was the one who planted the land. Even if one plant fell, it was a loss she was unwilling to face.
"Oh, right." Qiao Xuejun's expression suddenly changed subtly, and she asked, "Yesterday, you went to pick up Professor Huo. How was it? Is he still alive?"
When Qiao Xuejun mentioned the three words "Professor Huo", her voice was full of ups and downs and a sarcastic tone. She was just short of asking why he didn't die outside.
Zhao Xian replied: "When I went there, he was attacked by a mutant sunfish. I saved him."
Qiao Xuejun raised an eyebrow: "Is he the only one?"
Zhao Xian nodded: "He said he would distract the Sunfish's attention and ask Shen Xingtang to go back to the base to get help. The man named Shen went to the sea fort to call for help."
Qiao Xuejun said coldly: "Love is stronger than gold."
Zhao Xian glanced at her and said, "Shen Xingtang is an unstable factor."
Qiao Xuejun raised her eyes to look at him: "Hmm?"
A brief flash of murderous intent appeared in Zhao Xian's eyes, then disappeared. He just said calmly, "It's okay, stay away from her."
Qiao Xuejun showed her disdain for Shen Xingtang visible to the naked eye: "I know."
Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Xian removed the ice pack, threw the ice cubes into the basin, then came back and wiped Qiao Xuejun's wet ankles with a dry towel.
Qiao Xuejun felt a little embarrassed. Her posture of holding the ice was a little awkward, but she could wipe her feet by herself.
So he reached out for a towel: "I can do it myself."
But Zhao Xian wiped her dry in two strokes and threw the towel into the basin: "What's coming?"
Qiao Xuejun had no choice but to withdraw her hand.
"I apologize to you." Zhao Xian said suddenly.
Um?
Qiao Xuejun looked at Zhao Xian, blinked, and was a little confused: "What?"
Zhao Xian walked forward and sat on a chair in front of her bed. He sat up straight and looked directly at Qiao Xuejun.
He spoke slowly: "I didn't listen to you yesterday."
Qiao Xuejun: "Are you talking about Professor Huo?"
Zhao Xian said word by word: "It was me who took away the people and guns in the base, which led to you being put in danger."
"You're in trouble. From the results, it's my fault." Zhao Xian said seriously, "Teacher Qiao, I'm sorry."
Qiao Xuejun was stunned. She frowned and said, "Zhao Xian, do you think you did something wrong, which led to what happened last night?"
When his name was called again, Zhao Xian looked at Qiao Xuejun, and when she asked, he nodded and said "hmm".
Qiao Xuejun frowned even deeper: "First, go and save Huo Antu. You are the leader of the First Base, and he is a scholar of the First Base. It is understandable for you to save him."
If someone else apologized like this, it might just be a way to take the initiative to resolve the dispute. But Zhao Xian didn't do that.
He was really blaming himself and felt that he had done something wrong.
Qiao Xuejun also discovered during this period that Zhao Xian was in charge of everything. Even if he didn't sleep or eat, he would still take care of some work that was not actually his responsibility.
He took the survival of everyone in the First Base as a burden and carried it on his own shoulders.
Even though he had these experts, scholars, and soldier brothers around him.
He also treated them as objects in a burden, rather than as fellow bearers of the burden. His burden was heavy, and he kept adding more objects to it.
I feel that he should be responsible for this and that.
But this will only overwhelm people.
Like Qiao Xuejun, whose parents passed away early, she has few relatives around her. Her burden has always been only herself, and she often thinks that being alive is good enough, so why should she care about so many things.
If she can handle it, it means she is very capable. If she can't, she won't think it is her fault.
Zhao Xian is different.
If it was Zhao Xian who dealt with the lantern fish yesterday, he would think that he deserved the victory. It was his fault.
This is completely contrary to Qiao Xuejun's outlook on life.
Qiao Xuejun continued to analyze: "My disagreement stems from my concerns. You don't know my concerns, so where are you wrong?"
In Qiao Xuejun's opinion, saving Huo Antu is not a question of right or wrong, but a question of position. From an objective point of view, saving Huo Antu is right. He is an expert, he has the skills, and he can lead the First Base to a better future.
And she didn't like Huo Antu because of the plot of the original book. To put it bluntly, she hated Huo Antu just as much as she hated Shen Xingtang.
She didn't want to save them, nor did she want Zhao Xian to save them. Perhaps she subconsciously regarded Zhao Xian as her own and wanted Zhao Xian to stand on the same side as her.
Now that she has come to her senses, she feels that she was being dishonest by not letting Zhao Xian go to save Huo Antu yesterday.
"Secondly, the lantern fish attacked the base, so I went to deal with them. You who are far away in the sky cannot control them." Qiao Xuejun looked at him and paused, "Or... are you a god? Can you control this?"
Zhao Xian looked at Qiao Xuejun and listened to her, with a kind of curiosity in his eyes.
Qiao Xuejun leaned against the headboard, raised her body, moved forward, and looked at Zhao Xian: "When will you change your old habit of thinking of yourself as a god? We are all human. As human beings, there are always things that we cannot take into account."
Qiao Xuejun said: "For example, you can't order the lantern fish not to go up the mountain, and you can't order Teacher Qiao not to go out."
"Yes or no?"
Since Qiao Xuejun couldn't hear herself, she thought no one else could hear her either, so she moved closer and closer.
Zhao Xian looked at the person who was approaching him, lowered his eyes, avoided her dark pupils, and sighed almost in a low voice: "...Yes."
Seeing that Zhao Xian agreed, Qiao Xuejun was satisfied and asked, "Are you still admitting your mistake?"
Zhao Xian didn't even raise his head: "I admit it."
Qiao Xuejun froze slightly: "?"
Still recognize it? Did you just talk about loneliness?
Zhao Xian then realized from Qiao Xuejun's silence that he had answered the wrong question, and changed his words: "It was just a joke."
"Mr. Qiao, I understand what you mean."
