Chapter 88 Fireside Chat
After lighting the stove with the sacred flame, Jiang Changyi called on others to bring the folding chairs over and sit together.
The wind is strong on the mountain, and gathering together can not only block the wind for the stove, but also warm our bodies.
More importantly, Jiang Changyi could secretly watch and ask others to help grill the skewers. In the end, the job of barbecue chef fell into the hands of Chen Yonglong and Fu Yiting.
A warm stove, fragrant grilled skewers, and close friends—
This atmosphere was perfect for a night chat around the fire. Jiang Changyi took out a box of drinks from the contract space and gave a bottle to everyone. They ate and drank while chatting.
If the city at the foot of the mountain had not been so dark and dilapidated, one would have thought that the end of the world had never happened.
Erhei and Leo were originally chasing and playing freely in the valley. When they heard everyone chatting and eating, they smelled the scent and ran back.
Leo had grown quite big. When he curled up at Jiang Changyi's feet, he was almost taller than his calf.
Its tail was wagging on the ground, looking very cute.
Jiang Changyi touched his furry head and it felt very good.
He took a sip of his drink, exhaled freely, and said with great emotion, "I never thought that before the apocalypse, I didn't have the leisure to go hiking in the mountains to watch the stars in the middle of the night, but after the apocalypse, I actually came to the mountains."
Chen Yonglong knew that Jiang Changyi used to work at the Black Horse Club in addition to going to school, but Fu Yiting didn't know much about Jiang Changyi's past.
So he asked curiously, "Xiaoyi, were you very busy in the past? Your classes at Xijiang University shouldn't be that strict, right?"
Police academies are generally a little harder than other universities because of the special nature of the school. Not only are the rules and regulations very complicated and strict, but the training and learning in all aspects also have a certain degree of pressure.
But even so, Fu Yiting still has time to go out and play.
"Um……"
Jiang Changyi pondered for a moment, and then, under the gaze of everyone, he spoke calmly about his family situation.
In fact, Jiang Changyi is a very strong-willed person, and he has never taken the initiative to talk about his family situation with others.
He doesn't want others to feel sorry for him, nor does he feel sorry for himself. At least he still has the opportunity to change himself, but many people are trapped in a box.
"My sister and I earned all our tuition and living expenses myself. Isn't that impressive?"
"I know that many people will look at me with tinted glasses when I choose this job, but didn't everyone bully me before I worked in the club?"
Everyone fell silent. For a moment, the only sounds left were the crackling sound of the stove and the howling mountain wind.
When Chen Yonglong first came into contact with Jiang Changyi, he was repelled by the thorns on his body. At that time, he didn't quite understand it, but now he understands him.
Jiang Changyi never thought about relying on others, nor did he want to trust others. He stubbornly used his own strength to protect his family.
After taking the photos, Zong Qiong gradually calmed down and his brain could think normally. At this time, he looked at Jiang Changyi deeply, wondering what he was thinking.
Jiang Changyi took a sip of his drink and continued with a smile:
"I remember when I was very young, a group of kids bullied me. I was alone at the time, and I don't remember who they were, but one of them had a really thick bamboo pole, and I had a thin one."
"Then they wanted to beat me, but I actually used this thin bamboo stick to break their thick bamboo stick. The kids were scared away by my crazy behavior."
Speaking of this, Jiang Changyi still had a smile on his face, because he had let it go long ago. Now when he thought of these memories, he just felt that they were fun and magical.
"I still remember that my knuckles seemed to be bruised, and it was incredible afterwards. I could actually break such a thick bamboo pole with such a thin pole. It was really amazing."
"After that, I was so obsessed with reading novels in junior high school that I thought I had unlocked my genetics. I laughed so hard, hahaha."
Even though Jiang Changyi said it in a teasing tone, others still felt that it sounded a bit heavy.
Especially Fu Yiting, his eyes almost melted when he looked at Jiang Changyi. He wished he could stay by Jiang Changyi's side all the time and not let anyone hurt him.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jiang Changyi went crazy: "Great! You've all heard my little secret. No one will make it down the mountain alive today!"
"Xiaoyi..." Chen Yonglong pursed his lips. He wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere, but his smile was uglier than crying.
"Okay, okay, it's all in the past. We recall the past not to feel sad, but to learn from past experiences."
Jiang Changyi patted Chen Yonglong on the shoulder, then put his arm around Fu Yiting. As for Zong Qiong opposite him, he really didn't have enough hands.
"Keep getting stronger! Only by becoming a better person with a stronger heart can you live a happier life!"
Leo got up from the ground and threw himself into Jiang Changyi's arms.
His golden eyes were filled with tears: "Leo!"
"Um?"
Before Jiang Changyi could react, Leo's body suddenly began to emit a dazzling light.
"This is... evolution?!"
When the light faded, Jiang Changyi was completely stunned.
The evolved Leo is as big as a pony, and when the wings on his back are spread out, he is as stunning as the legendary Pegasus.
Its claws and fangs grew sharper, its mane thicker, and its long tail swung happily like a whip.
Its snout has become longer, its ears are longer and more pointed, and paired with its beige fur, it looks cute and clever. However, after evolution, its temperament has become much more mature.
“Ouch~!!”
Leo shouted happily, showing his pointed fangs.
Even though it has grown bigger, it still looks so cute when it smiles with its eyes narrowed.
"Leo, you've grown so big!!"
Jiang Changyi stood up and looked at Leo in surprise. This little guy was almost taller than him!
Who would believe that when they first met, this little guy was only as big as a kitten?
At that time, when the little kitten-like Leo went to lure away the giant dragonfly, Jiang Changyi was not at all reassured. If it were the current Leo, Jiang Changyi would definitely be relieved.
"Leo~Leo~ (Being this big is nothing. I can become even more powerful if I continue to evolve~)"
Finally evolving to the next form, Leo spun in the air with joy.
Chen Yonglong and others also saw the evolution scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but stand up and stare at Leo.
Leo is like a proud little lion, flying in the sky, confidently showing off his strong wings and muscles.
