As they talked, the topic began to turn to things in the white fog.
The two top experts have different views in different fields of the same direction. The founder of Bai Wu's violent demolition trend said that one force can break all laws, while Xie Jingqi said that in the face of such a disaster, they should summarize the rules and pass on experience to deal with possible disasters in the future.
Xu Shiqing understood what he meant, but the situation in the white fog did not allow for slow and meticulous work. He did not agree with this approach because it was not common in the Abnormal Management Bureau to have the energy to deal with the crisis after saving his life.
This was considered from an individual perspective, and Xu Shiqing's thinking was not wrong. And Xie Jingyi, who considered the desired outcome from an organizational perspective, was clearly not wrong either.
This is just one of the manifestations of contradictions between the upper and lower levels in implementation.
The night completely enveloped the earth. The brewing before the arrival of early summer made the wind a little hot and dry this night. Xu Shiqing froze out several relatively large pieces of ice, and the air nearby instantly became much cooler.
Xie Jingyi took a few more bites of the food, but except for the fruit and cake, the other food had basically lost its flavor, so he didn't have the appetite to pick up the food a second time.
The meal was cleared away, and the table couldn't be left empty. The two men chatting weren't the type to sit properly. Xie Jingyi leaned against the fence, his expression cocky, but he'd been drinking, and his smile was a bit silly.
Xu Shiqing supported his body with his hands, his upper body leaning out of the observation deck, his hair disheveled by the wind, his eyes like cold stars.
When alcohol gets to your head, you tend to do things you wouldn't dare do when you're sober. Xie Jingyi was too relaxed in his own territory, and he didn't need to be more careful when facing Xu Shiqing.
At this moment, the idea of slowly working things out in his mind was swept aside. The wind was fine, the moon was full, and the person was right beside him. Xie Jingyi could feel the violent breathing of his heart right next to his eardrum.
So close.
Xu Shiqing didn't care what he was thinking. The mountain mist in the evening was clearer than the mountain spring, and his mood became cheerful. He was gazing at the quiet and dignified mountain forest in the night when Xie Jingyi walked over to him and leaned on him.
"?"
He didn't dodge this time. Firstly, Xie Jingyi's movements were slow, and he had already noticed. Secondly, Xu Shiqing realized that if he dodged, this guy would probably fall to the ground.
Xu Shiqing was silent: Is the wine so strong?
"Xu Shiqing..." He hesitated and asked, "Do you hate me?"
This sentence was a little unusual. Xu Shiqing wanted to turn his head to see the drunkard's expression, but a big hand covered him directly, and he could not see what Xie Jingyi's expression was.
But this action was enough for Xu Shiqing to think seriously about the question just now.
"It's not that I hate you," he said finally. "It's normal to have different opinions and preferences."
"But you were hiding from me," Xie Jingyi said. "You know what I'm referring to. I still don't understand why you looked like that back then... We both know it wasn't because of the 'ghost marriage' ritual we performed in the white fog. It was just a contract, and you still think that way. You don't think it has any deeper meaning."
Xu Shiqing closed his open mouth again. He couldn't say that he felt a little ambiguous at that time.
The rules of the white mist and the characteristics of the ghost cultivators were so perfect that when Xu Shiqing thought about it now, he felt for the first time in his life that there was a great power controlling everything.
It just so happened that 021 had just told him that he had a lover in the previous world, and the light in Xie Jingyi's eyes made him feel as if he was traveling through thousands of acres of land. The past and the present - they were mixed together, like a whirlpool that sucked him in and chewed him up, wanting to get a definite answer.
Xu Shiqing did not reply.
"Did you meet someone before?" Xie Jingyi asked, "You liked her, but she left?"
He knew that his heart was swollen with jealousy when he said this. To this day, Xie Jingyi still remembers it clearly. It was a depressing summer. When he asked the other party if he was willing to go with him, the young man in front of him showed an expression as if he had seen someone.
Trance, memories, and a kind of attachment that I am not even aware of.
Jealousy was indescribable. At that moment, the young Xie Jingyi felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. For the first time, he empathized with the other self who was chasing instincts, which he absolutely did not agree with and did not intend to imitate.
Xie Jingyi's pride would not allow him to be treated as someone's shadow, and he would not be that shadow.
“…”
Xu Shiqing said honestly: "You are right."
"So do you think I look like her?" Xie Jingyi asked.
"!" Xu Shiqing was startled and stretched out his hand to push away the hand blocking his eyes while backing away.
This statement caught him off guard.
"No, wait a minute." Xu Shiqing was confused. He had only one thought at the moment, which was to deny this sentence: "How could you two be alike!"
They're not even from the same world, okay?! And he himself doesn't even know what kind of person he is!
"Xie Jingyi, what on earth are you thinking about?!"
"That's good." Xie Jingyi murmured, "Then I feel relieved."
Eight years are not without gain.
"?"
Xu Shiqing felt the hand removed from his eyes, but he still couldn't see Xie Jingyi's expression. In his field of vision, only the other person's black eyes clearly reflected his pupils that had shrunk in shock.
"! Xie Jingyi! You are drunk!" Xu Shiqing said firmly.
Xie Jingyi smiled and moved closer to him. Xu Shiqing subconsciously stepped back, but he was too close and couldn't dodge.
