"I... damn it, I, I don't like men either." Ge Xiaolun scratched his head and couldn't help but complain.
"But you don't seem very firm in your words." Wang Ji put down his work, a slight smile playing on his lips, and looked up at Ge Xiaolun.
He waved to the side and said, "Sit down."
"Oh~ Oh." Ge Xiaolun carefully sat down.
As dusk approached, the sky grew darker.
After dinner, the soldiers either exercised or worked on the deck. From time to time, male and female soldiers wearing camouflage vests could be seen punching and kicking on the deck. Qilin was playing volleyball with Mengmeng and the others.
The vast ocean stretches to the horizon, the sea breeze is refreshing, and the distant clouds and the nearby sea are both dyed orange-red by the setting sun. The shimmering sea surface resembles layers of fallen leaves under an autumn maple forest.
The evening was leisurely, peaceful, and serene.
"No wonder you always sit here, Lao Wang..." After sitting down, Ge Xiaolun suddenly exclaimed, "The view from here is amazing, the sea... the sea..."
“The sea is quite vast,” Wang Ji waved his hand, and a set of teacups appeared out of thin air. He picked up the teapot, brewed two cups of tea, and handed one to Ge Xiaolun: “Right?”
“Uh…yes.” Ge Xiaolun paused, feeling that Wang Ji’s addition was indeed apt.
"You old-fashioned rich man, you're getting more and more sophisticated!" Ge Xiaolun teased, holding his teacup. "You're even drinking tea now..."
"Lena gave it to me. Although she likes drinking sugary drinks, she just doesn't like it when I drink them," Wang Ji explained nonchalantly.
It's not that I dislike it, but I just feel that someone with his high and mighty image shouldn't have things like plastic bottles and soda cans around.
King of Coffee doesn't really like drinking coffee.
"Tea from Lieyang Star, don't forget the date you first ate alien food," Wang Ji kindly reminded him.
"ah?"
This gimmick really surprised Ge Xiaolun. He quickly and carefully took a sip, and then exclaimed, "Wow! It's delicious!"
He gulped it down and immediately refilled his cup.
Of course it tastes good. It's top-grade tea exclusively for the royal family of Lieyang, tea that only gods can drink.
The aroma of tea is soothing, and after bitterness comes sweetness.
It wouldn't be wrong to call it a true celestial product.
It's perfectly normal for ordinary people to drink it and experience longevity, disease prevention, and disaster relief.
"Sister Na is so good to you..." Ge Xiaolun realized for the first time that tea could truly leave a lingering aftertaste, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"Of course." Wang Ji nodded affirmatively.
A goddess radiating warmth showed him the affection of an older sister, as well as a natural maternal instinct.
"I..." Ge Xiaolun praised for a while, then suddenly hesitated.
"Just say what's on your mind." Wang Ji held his teacup and looked up at the sky, using his free time to clear his head: "Borrowing money is not an option."
"I want to ask... what do you think of Rose?" Ge Xiaolun gritted his teeth and finally spoke.
The air fell silent for a moment as Wang Ji pondered Ge Xiaolun's meaning.
Then
"I'm not willing to spend any extra energy on romantic relationships right now."
He took a sip of tea, his eyes sparkling: "I will think about how to celebrate Qilin's next birthday, and whether Lena is in a good mood today, rather than getting caught up in the sentimental thoughts of another woman."
I don't want to get caught up in your thoughts, you're a grown man.
“But Rose likes you…” Ge Xiaolun suddenly became agitated.
Peng...
A transparent dome covered the two of them, blocking out any sound.
"If you blossom, the gentle breeze will come."
Wang Ji didn't look at Ge Xiaolun. He took a sip of his glass and gazed at the sunset on the horizon. He said slowly, "I know what you mean, but it feels very strange to me... and it's also very melodramatic."
The evening sea breeze was gentle, and the sound of the waves was as noisy as ever. There were few seabirds around the Juxia.
Wang Ji's calm tone instantly silenced Ge Xiaolun's excitement.
"We are just ordinary teammates. If we can live and die together and be loyal to each other, then we are true comrades-in-arms."
That's actually why I'm willing to talk to you even though you're sitting down next to me.
His eyes were as calm as a still lake: "If I weren't trapped here, and you were my teammates, I wouldn't have let myself get into any of this ridiculous situations."
Who you like, whether you can win them over or not, has nothing to do with me.
As long as it's not Qilin and Lena, I don't care.
Similarly...
Who I fancy, whether I like them or not, whether I'm devoted to one person or juggling multiple relationships, is none of your business.
"To be honest, I don't know what angle you're coming from to discuss this with me. I initially thought you were here to ask me some knowledge-based questions." Wang Ji withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Ge Xiaolun: "Is there anything else?"
“I…I…” Ge Xiaolun listened blankly to what Wang Ji had said, those words echoing in his mind, and for a moment he stammered and couldn’t say anything.
“If you don’t have anything else to do, you can stay here for tea, but I have to get back to work.” Wang Ji shook his head and took out his books, paper, and pen again.
"How are you and Qiangwei doing now?" Ge Xiaolun's face turned red from holding back his anger, but he still didn't leave, as if he had mustered up the courage to ask.
Wang Ji closed his eyes helplessly, then opened them again: "What can we do? We're all alive."
"I...I mean, what's your relationship now!" Ge Xiaolun seemed quite persistent.
"From what angle are you asking me this question?" Wang Ji asked.
"Comrade, let's gossip," Ge Xiaolun replied quite swiftly.
