"Alright, Captain Yan, you've got everything. We're leaving now." Li Xiao held out her hand, ready to depart.
Yan Bin quickly stepped forward and grasped her hand, "Miss Li, this,"
Seeing that Yan Bin still wanted to persuade her to stay, Li Xiao quickly stopped him. "Captain Yan, there's no need to say more. These days are tough for everyone. To survive better, there's no need to be so polite."
Having said all that, Yan Bin understood Li Xiao's meaning.
He nodded as if it were a fortune, and thanked her again with sincerity in his eyes, "Miss Li, you are right. But how many people can really think of these things?"
Even this tough, resolute man couldn't help but feel dejected at this moment. He sighed deeply, feeling helpless about how things had turned out this way.
The distortion and indulgence of human nature, and the depravity and arrogance of thought, are undeniable facts.
To live becomes the simplest and most straightforward primary goal.
"It's none of your business, just mind your own business. Goodbye, Captain Yan."
Cheng Shaolin, Yu Yanbin, and the others shook hands with Yanbin and left.
Back at their lodgings, everyone started asking about what had happened that day.
"Xiaoxiao, are you alright today? Did that damned woman hurt you?"
Qiu Fengyu was still most concerned about whether Li Xiao had been injured by Liu Dandan before.
Although that woman is dead, she will definitely get revenge if she injured Li Xiao before.
If you can't get it from the dead, then get it from the living.
"No, she can't hurt me," Li Xiao said with a smile.
"That's good." Her cold face relaxed, but the anger in her heart didn't just disappear.
"That woman was disgusting. She deserved to die. Humph, it's good that she's dead, otherwise I would definitely go and kill her."
Tian Tian said indignantly, her teeth clenched, clearly showing how angry she was.
"Alright, alright, I didn't lose out. I'm already dead, don't be angry anymore," Li Xiao comforted him gently.
After Li Xiao took her arm and shook her, Tian Tian's anger subsided considerably.
Thinking of what Li Xiao had taken out earlier, she asked again, "Hey, Xiao Xiao, you took out so many things, do you have anything left?"
Li Xiao knew she would be asked this question, and she had already prepared her answer.
"Am I that stupid? To take everything out and leave nothing for myself?"
"Huh?! There's more? Really?!"
Tian Tian's eyes widened, a mixture of shock and joy.
"Um."
Shao Jie then interjected, "Have you forgotten?"
Tian Tian was a little confused by the question and didn't quite understand the situation.
"What?"
Shao Jie reminded her, "We used to use these, but Xiaoxiao didn't take them out."
“Yes, yes.” Zheng Yongnian quickly echoed.
Tian Tian looked at both sides before saying, "I know, I haven't forgotten."
"and you?"
"What I want to ask is, is there anything else?"
"Oh. Xiaoxiao knows what she's doing." Shao Jie said, then turned to Li Xiao and asked, "Isn't that right, Xiaoxiao?"
Li Xiao smiled, the corners of her mouth curving upwards.
"What? You trust me that much?"
"Of course, who else would you believe?"
Li Xiao felt a warmth in her heart. "I will definitely keep some things. Some things can't be taken out; they can only stay with me. Now is not the time to take them out."
They all looked at Li Xiao with suspicion, wondering what she meant by "inappropriate timing".
Li Xiao didn't explain, she just smiled with the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Like the rocket launchers we used before, those can only be kept with me."
“Yes, some things shouldn’t be shown to others; hiding them is the right thing to do.” Yu Yanbin leaned back in his chair, agreeing with Li Xiao’s approach.
"Everyone, remember what you should and shouldn't say. If someone asks or inquires, do you know what to say?"
Cheng Shaolin sat in the sofa chair, holding Li Xiao's hand, and looked around at the people sitting there.
Meng Yang, being the eldest, was the first to speak.
"Don't worry, we know what to say. Right?" Meng Yang asked the people around him.
Shao Jie and Tian Tian quickly nodded in agreement, like chicks pecking at rice.
"Don't worry, we promise we won't tell anyone if they ask," Tian Tian said, quickly zipping up her lip.
Xiao Peng quickly sat up straight and began to make his promise in a formal manner.
They all know what they can and cannot say; after such a long period of exposure, their minds have become very sharp.
Cheng Shaolin nodded, "That's good."
"Xiaoxiao, why did you think of giving it to them?"
They didn't ask why they wanted to give it to them, but rather that they wanted to give it to them. Just one word difference, and the meaning is completely different.
Li Xiao looked at everyone and said with a light laugh, "I didn't think about it, I just felt it was more suitable for them to take it."
Xiaoxiao,
Hearing Yu Yanbin call out, Li Xiao looked over.
Yu Yanbin smiled and said to Li Xiao, "I just wanted to ask you how much of these things you have, and what they are. Next time this comes up, at least I'll know how to answer."
Looking into Yu Yanbin's eyes, she didn't probe or anything; she was genuinely just asking what kinds of things there were and how many, not testing him at all.
After Yu Yanbin finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Shaolin and explained again to avoid being misunderstood.
"It was quite awkward today. Yan Bin must have found it very strange."
I can't help but laugh when I think about it.
And he did laugh.
At the time, it wasn't appropriate to make it too obvious, but now that we're on our own turf, we just can't hold it in any longer.
Cheng Shaolin understood Yu Yanbin's concerns, and he himself had the same idea.
