Minors are not allowed to do this (of course)
At night, people always seem to talk a little more. If it were daytime, Jiang Chengyue might not be willing to talk to Ji Yunding about this.
But looking at the moon, Jiang Chengyue rubbed his eyes and lowered his head again.
"Maybe it's retribution."
"I don't understand." Ji Yunding tilted his head. "If you feel uncomfortable, why not just run away?"
“But, they loved me before.”
"Didn't you just say that they forced you for money?" Ji Yunding was even more confused. "They loved you before, but now they don't love you anymore. You gave them money before, but now they're running away, isn't that right?"
Jiang Chengyue's emotions were interrupted by the straightforward words, and then he said in an annoyed tone: "Why do you talk like that..."
"From what I've observed, so-called 'love' can be great, but it must be conditional. Even if you love a stone, you have to make sure you don't lose it."
Ji Yunding interrupted Jiang Chengyue and looked up at the moon.
"Some love can be bought with money; some love can be won with beauty. Or birth, character, talent, wisdom... In my opinion, there is no difference.
Humans are creatures that change all the time, and all of the above are subject to change, so the only thing a person can truly own is themselves, and one must be prepared to abandon or be abandoned at any time.
There is no one in this world who is not self-centered, so all likes are based on the standards of others. In a fluid and changing world, everything will change.
Jiang Chengyue's anger disappeared at once, not because she was convinced by Ji Yunding, but because she suddenly thought - what kind of life has a person with such a view experienced so far?
"So... you mean you don't believe in love?"
Ji Yunding thought for a moment, then leaned over to pick a small wild flower from the ground and handed it to Jiang Chengyue. Seeing that Jiang Chengyue took it with a puzzled look, he spoke again, "Did you get the flower?"
“…I got it, so what?”
"Just because I gave you flowers today doesn't mean I will always give you flowers. Similarly, I won't give you flowers tomorrow, but today's flowers won't cease to exist. Maybe that's the feeling?"
Ji Yunding is not good at abstract expression, she likes more practical and concrete things.
"In my opinion, 'love' is a beautiful and useful, but unreliable thing, that's all."
The clouds gradually covered the moon, and the sky became darker. The silence enveloped the two of them again, and after a long while, Jiang Chengyue spoke again.
"Are you saying this to get me to agree to exorcise my sister?"
"No, I just said a few words." Ji Yunding shook his head, "Your sister is not your appendage. This is what I promised your sister. Whether you are willing or not, I will find a way."
Of course, it is impossible to use any violent means now, but there is always a way.
"No wonder our team leader told me to stay away from the other team members..." Jiang Chengyue muttered, then sighed, "You are a strange person and you are unreasonable. You said you were ready to abandon others... Things between people are not that simple."
"It's up to you. I don't have the habit of forcing others to agree with me." Ji Yunding stood up and yawned. "I don't think I'm a normal person. It's just that I feel more comfortable this way."
There are some things in the world that are unreasonable to an individual. In order to alleviate the pain they feel, many people will try to "rationalize" what happened to them through their own theories.
It may sound a bit sad, but given that we cannot change the reality, if it can really make people feel comforted, it probably cannot be said to be completely bad.
……………………
The next day, Ji Yunding and Zheng Nuo were walking to the training ground. Along the way, Zheng Nuo learned a lot from Ji Yunding about the training content and Tang Yun.
Although Zheng Nuo was not someone who was afraid of being tired, he felt a little scared when he heard his seniors in the group discussing Tang Yun with lingering fear.
"It's okay, just train well, Sister Tang is a very nice person."
Hearing Ji Yunding's words, Zheng Nuo felt relieved. Walking to the training ground, Zheng Nuo frowned, squinted slightly and looked towards the door, then poked Ji Yunding: "That's Ji Shisan, right?"
"Who? Blind?"
"…You should quickly forget those messy nicknames."
Having said that, the two didn't care much and still walked straight past.
When Ji Shisan saw the two of them, his gaze stayed on Ji Yunding for a while, then he looked away and called out to Ji Yunding for some unknown reason.
"You said before... that you didn't have a name before you became an adult?"
"Yes, but we are not close enough to discuss this matter."
Ji Yunding tilted his head and spoke without any malice.
"It's fun to fight with you, but you're so rude. I don't like you very much."
Seeing Ji Shisan's face slightly red, I don't know if he was angry or something. Zheng Nuo didn't mean to smooth things over - Ji Yunding was just like that. It was natural that she couldn't be friends with someone she couldn't accept. Even if she said it this time, Ji Yunding would still be too lazy to deal with him next time.
Moreover, Ji Yunding naturally likes his younger sister, but at the same time he also has a barrier towards men younger than her.
"…Then are you still going to fight?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Shisan did not get angry, but his tone was slightly nervous.
"I can...play with you."
Ji Yunding scratched his head, a little confused: "That's fine, but what do you want to do? Do you want to become stronger too?"
In Ji Yunding's opinion, people always have to have a purpose or reason when doing things. People who do things without any reason are somewhat scary - considering that they may have some unknown motives.
As soon as these words came out, the scene froze for unknown reasons. Zheng Nuo sighed, unable to bear it any longer, and took out his phone to search for a term and handed it to Ji Yunding.
Suspension Bridge Effect - the psychological phenomenon of mistaking the increased heartbeat caused by physiological tension and fear for love.
...It's more than just a quickening of the heartbeat; it's a physical heart rupture.
In fact, both Zheng Nuo and Ji Yunding are very sensitive to changes in people's emotions. The difference is that Zheng Nuo can quickly classify and attribute these complex emotions, while Ji Yunding can only "feel the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness" for people he doesn't understand.
Just like now, Ji Yunding knew very well that the person opposite her seemed a little happy, a little nervous, and a little frustrated, but she didn't understand why this emotion would point to the so-called "like".
Forget it, never mind.
"Let's go and ask Sister Tang." Ji Yunding nodded to Ji Shisan, "If it's suitable, then we can spar with each other. If not, forget it."
His feelings were his business. Ji Yunding considered herself unfamiliar with him and didn't care whether he liked her or not, and she would not deliberately approach him or avoid him for this reason.
Exchanges are beneficial to both parties. Since he brought it up, there is no reason to refuse.
However, Tang Yun frowned as soon as he saw Ji Shisan, and asked in a bad tone: "What are you doing here?"
What Ji Yunding didn't know was that this person was among the group of people who went to Group 10 for training before her, and he was one of the people who caused chaos in Group 10's office at that time.
Ji Shisan remained silent. After listening to Ji Yunding's explanation, Tang Yun sighed.
Although "evil will be punished by evil" is the most appropriate saying in this situation, Ji Yunding, who was blinking and acting well in front of him, should not be associated with the word "evil" in any way.
"For Ji Yunding's sake, let's do this for now, but if you cause trouble again, get out immediately."
“…”
People from aristocratic families are much more difficult to manage than children like Ji Yunding who got in through exams, but Tang Yun found it somewhat amusing to see Ji Shisan looking so aggrieved and silent.
To be honest, Tang Yun is already over 40 years old, there is no reason for him to really hold a grudge against a 16-year-old child - especially children from aristocratic families have had a hard life since childhood, it is common for them to have some problems with their words and deeds. People who understand will generally be more tolerant.
However, everything that needs to be said must be said in advance to avoid trouble later.
Zheng Nuo was enjoying watching the gossip at first, but he was not so happy when the training actually started.
It’s really useful, but also really tiring.
Zheng Nuo and Ji Yunding have different physical abilities and are not in the same training area. After the training, Zheng Nuo sat back in a chair and took a breath. From a distance, he saw Ji Yunding, who was covered in blood, coming over and waved.
"How was the fight?"
"Fortunately, they are just superficial injuries."
Ji Yunding sat next to Zheng Nuo and began to rub his calves to relax the muscles.
"I don't know why, but that guy was very restrained at first, but he relaxed a little when he hit me in the head."
"I've already told you that you've attracted some romantic interest again."
Zheng Nuo teased. Ji Yunding was a little dissatisfied with this: "That can't delay the fight."
"By the way, Yun Ding, have you really never been in love?"
Ji Yunding thought about it and shook his head.
"So...what's your favorite type? Don't fool me with that excuse. I've heard it from my senior."
To be honest, even though he asked this, Zheng Nuo didn't really expect to get any serious answer.
After all, it was a bit hard to imagine how Ji Yunding would be in love. Even if Ji Yunding picked up a stone and said that this was her ideal type, Zheng Nuo felt that she could accept it calmly.
Ji Yunding thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he decided to find a reference and observe secretly: "Nono, you speak first."
"High efficiency, quick work without procrastination, similar interests and hobbies, and respect for my work and life." Zheng Nuo answered quickly, obviously having considered it a long time ago. "These are the most important points, and everything else can be discussed."
It should be said that this is Zheng Nuo's style.
"Lover..." Ji Yunding raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky. "If the premise is lover, then I like someone who does not exist in the world."
"...people who don't exist in the world?" Zheng Nuo was stunned. He followed Ji Yunding's gaze but couldn't figure out what it was. "Aliens?"
If someone else said this, Zheng Nuo might have taken it as a joke, but when Ji Yunding said this, Zheng Nuo couldn't help but start to suspect that she had been abducted by aliens.
"No." Ji Yunding shook his head, but he didn't know how to express it specifically.
Fortunately, Zheng Nuo didn't really insist on Ji Yunding giving an answer. They just wanted to chat until his muscles relaxed enough to walk back to the dormitory.
"Forget it, let's ask a specific person. What about Ji Shisan? Why not give it a try?"
"I don't like it, and he's underage, so I'll go to jail."
Ji Yunding stood up and turned around to smile at Zheng Nuo. This smile was no longer like the one he had when he first entered school, as if he was pulling the corners of his mouth after thinking. Instead, he smiled spontaneously.
"I'm going to be twenty soon."
