Li Xiao gazed in Cheng Shaolin's direction and slowly said, "You don't have to do this, really. Maybe you'll find later that what you hope for isn't what you thought before at all."
Cheng Shaolin smiled in the darkness, like a blooming flower, though Li Xiao couldn't see it. "What does it matter? As long as it's you, that's enough. Even if we don't meet expectations, so what? Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
"As long as it's you, that's enough."
Li Xiao stared intently in his direction without saying a word.
She slowly turned her head and lowered her eyes.
One day you'll find that what you think is different from the truth.
Even after revealing her secret, Li Xiao still felt a little uneasy.
Then I thought again, since I've already said it, there's no need to dwell on it. Let nature take its course. Thinking about other things now is just asking for trouble.
She's someone who can let go easily and makes decisions after careful consideration. Once a decision is made, there's no point in regretting it; that's the most useless thing to do.
There's no going back in life.
There's no going back, so just think things through carefully before you act, and don't do anything rashly. Regretting something after you've done it is just asking for trouble.
Li Xiao relaxed; things hadn't really changed much by now.
It just means one more person knows.
As long as he doesn't talk nonsense, we can get along well. Yes, that's it.
I haven't made any plans regarding romantic relationships, at least not right now, as I don't have time to think about them.
Cheng Shaolin watched Li Xiaoan quietly without saying a word, and did not disturb her, lying quietly beside her.
"Aren't you in a hurry to go back?" Li Xiao asked softly.
Cheng Shaolin's deep voice rang out in the night, "Of course we want to go back as soon as possible, but the weather is too unusual. If it continues like this, it might not be good for our health. In that case, we can only wait until the temperature drops before we can leave."
Li Xiao bit her lip. "Don't you think it's because of me that I can't go back? Just like they think."
Cheng Shaolin retorted, "Do you think you are? Don't listen to their nonsense. It's never your fault. Don't blame yourself because of a few words from them; that's foolish."
After a pause, he continued, "Don't worry about them, Yu Yanbin will handle it." As he finished speaking, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Even if Yu Yanbin can't handle it, there's still him. He absolutely won't let Xiaoxiao suffer for nothing; otherwise, what's the point of having Cheng Shaolin?
He just watched Xiaoxiao suffer and did nothing. Did he think Cheng Shaolin was dead?
Cheng Shaolin thought bitterly to himself.
"Xiaoxiao, their problems will be resolved. Will you go back?"
Li Xiao didn't know either, so she asked, "What do you think?" passing the question to him.
Cheng Shaolin said, "If you don't want to, then forget it. But aside from those few abnormal people outside, do you still want to go back?"
Li Xiao could tell that Cheng Shaolin still wanted to go back.
Having a good team is still very important in the apocalypse.
Li Xiao understood that whether she was with herself or Cheng Shaolin, fewer people meant fewer problems, but in the current situation, it wasn't very convenient.
We haven't met anyone yet, but we will eventually. If the other side has a large number of people, we will be at a disadvantage.
There are advantages to having a team, and there are advantages to having fewer people.
While Li Xiao was still pondering, Cheng Shaolin slowly said, "In the apocalypse, having a suitable team is a great advantage. It's full of dangers, and having a well-coordinated team is much better than going it alone."
Cheng Shaolin stopped, perhaps fearing Li Xiao's objection, and did not continue.
Li Xiao understood that Cheng Shaolin was worried about her.
“You don’t need to worry about me. You can act according to your own ideas. There’s no need for that,” Cheng Shaolin interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
“No, as I’ve said before, you’re the priority. Whatever you decide is the final decision. I’m just telling you about the current situation.” His voice lowered.
"I misspoke, Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry." Cheng Shaolin sat up.
He didn't want Li Xiao to think that he was telling her these things only after he knew her secret. Even if he knew nothing, he would still resolutely follow Li Xiao. That would never change.
"Xiaoxiao, just pretend I didn't say any of this. I just wanted to analyze the current situation. In the future, we can't go back to the life we had before. We can only adapt to this harsh environment."
"Going it alone is a disadvantage; having a good team is the trend. Even if I don't go back to my current team, I'll find a suitable one in the future. That's what I mean," Cheng Shaolin said urgently.
Li Xiao smiled, pursing her lips. She actually understood what Cheng Shaolin meant, and it was indeed as he said.
“I understand what you’re saying. Do you think the current team is suitable?” Li Xiao asked.
Cheng Shaolin sighed and said, "After spending so much time together, I have some understanding of him. Yu Yanbin is a qualified captain; he is competent in analyzing pros and cons and allocating resources reasonably. He himself is also quite capable, and he can make good use of everyone. Shao Jie has his own little schemes, but that's not a bad thing; he's clever and quick-witted."
"As for Xiao Peng, I know he has special feelings for me because I saved him, so I can trust him. As for Qiu Fengyu, don't be fooled by her cold and silent demeanor. It's partly due to her personality and partly due to what happened, but her silence doesn't mean she's untrustworthy."
"And those who followed you in, let's not even talk about Tian Tian, she just follows your lead. Meng Yang, well, he's a very smart guy, he knows what he can and can't do, and he knows what the most appropriate thing to do is in any situation. Zheng Yongnian, he's just a straightforward person, black is black, white is white, who's good and who's bad depends on who treats him well."
"We don't need to worry about the others. Generally speaking, these people are still trustworthy. That's the initial impression. What will happen later remains to be seen. It's impossible to predict everything that will happen in the future, isn't it?"
Li Xiao nodded. "If you think it's suitable, then it's suitable. But," Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin, who was waiting for her to say something.
"I don't want to see those guys. They're so annoying, always causing trouble. They do nothing but keep nagging. I'm not going to put up with them."
Cheng Shaolin understood. "Yes, even if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have kept them. They'll all leave. Even if they haven't left yet, they will eventually. Don't worry about that. Our team doesn't keep those troublemakers. Just ignore them."
Li Xiao nodded in agreement.
Cheng Shaolin smiled and looked at Li Xiao, "Are you satisfied? Don't worry, I won't let you be in any danger. I can guarantee it with my life. I'd rather die than let anything happen to you."
The resounding crash in the darkness made Li Xiao's heart pound fiercely, so loudly that she could almost hear it.
Li Xiao's face turned red, but fortunately it was dark and no one could see her.
