After arriving at the Third Base, the little hope she had in humans had already been gradually eroded by what she had seen and heard during this period.
The so-called base has become a hell on earth. She will no longer go to the headquarters without knowing it and ask for trouble.
The man was silent for a long time. He brushed her hair with his cold fingertips and said slowly, "I don't have a home. Compared to before, now you are in this place, which can be considered a home."
"It would be great if you were just an ordinary person." Pei Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief, "If not, we can just elope, hahahaha..."
She was just joking.
Just a casual remark.
The man's eyes looked at her through the lenses, locking onto her almost instantly, with a kind of oppressiveness that was neither hurried nor slow, and a calm and relaxed air.
He said, “It’s not impossible.”
Pei Xiqing blinked deliberately: "Then I have kidnapped the chief judge of the base. I hope the people at headquarters won't hunt me down."
His eyes were indifferent, but his presence was strong: "If you don't go to headquarters, where do you want to go?"
"have no idea."
She had no answer in her heart.
Anyway, I just wander around and go wherever I go.
There is no need to plan all your routes in life in advance, because most of them will deviate from the path.
The man said, "If you're worried that things will be the same at headquarters as here, I won't let what you've seen happen there..."
Pei Xiqing shook her head and interrupted him: "Brother Duan, I don't need your assurances and promises. Such things will become outdated and will gradually change with the times and the relationship between us. I've heard this kind of talk many times before, and I'm tired of it."
Not only Yuan Ke, but also every man she met in her previous life had said this to her.
She and Yuan 㹏 have one thing in common.
They are not short of commitment.
There is no shortage of men making vows of love.
Duan Xiaolin didn't move.
He stared at her in silence.
There seemed to be a cold and poisonous snake lurking in the depths of his deep eyes. He had always been gentle and harmless to her, but at this moment, he was cold and weird.
Pei Xiqing didn't say anything either, and confronted him silently.
But my body still couldn't stop trembling.
"In your heart, are they and I the same kind of people?" He said, "So that's how you see me. I only make promises verbally, and it's easy for me to change my heart and hurt you."
Duan Xiaolin didn't use gravity in any of his words.
The light and fluttering smell is even more frightening.
He always managed to say something so frightening that it made people tremble with fear without making any expression, and he was as patient as a demon from hell.
The gentler he was, the more Pei Xiqing could feel how terrifyingly stable his emotions were.
She opened her lips, her voice a little hoarse, but at least she managed to say it: "No, I just feel that place is not suitable for me. If I felt you were that kind of person, I wouldn't be with you. I would stay away from you and never get close to you."
Then he looked at the man again: "Brother Duan, don't say that, you didn't do anything wrong."
"Actually, I should have been more decisive when I was in the wild and hadn't returned to the base yet." If she had cut the Gordian knot at that time, she wouldn't be in this situation with Duan Xiaolin, and there wouldn't be all these things happening in the base. In the final analysis, she was willing to give Duan Xiaolin and herself a chance.
She is also willing to believe in love and is not disappointed in these things. Instead, she is more active, proactive and bold in pursuing it than she thought.
But she didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Can't let go now.
