Chapter 46 Chapter 46 When Will Jealousy End?
Xu Shanshan: "I'm fine, don't worry."
After the crowd dispersed, Xia Guangli asked her in confusion, "What happened?" She explained what happened, and the man apologized, "Sorry, I was sleeping so soundly. You can wake me up next time."
"I won't show mercy next time."
It was normal to catch up on sleep during the holidays, but she didn't want him to rest in her room. She stood up, put on her backpack, and stood by the door. The man stood up as well, "Where are you going?"
"See a movie."
She suspected he was really half asleep. He went to the bathroom to wash his face and followed her. "What do you want to see?"
"I don't want you to go with me."
The man was stunned, his eyebrows wet with water. He was confused. Didn't we agree to be together? Why did you suddenly change your mind?
The two of them were too close just now, and her hands and feet were numb. She didn't want to relieve her pain, so she wanted to be alone and decided to leave this movie partner behind.
"I want to be alone."
She opened the door and saw a man standing by the stairs. She thought, when Karl gets better, he will live at the stairs and watch the door for her.
She took the elevator to the underground first floor and searched back and forth twice before she found the private cinema hidden in the corner.
The environment was cool. When she walked in, it was pitch dark. Xia Guangli found the distribution room, turned on the switch, and the lights suddenly came on. Three rows of sofa chairs were arranged at different heights.
She was choosing a movie when there was a bang outside, like firecrackers.
Resources are loading. She sat down and Xia Guangli came in with popcorn and Coke. He closed the door, sat down next to her and handed her the snack bucket.
As the film plays, the lights automatically turn off and everyone's attention is focused on the big screen.
This is a road movie that tells the story of a convoy transporting supplies, which goes through many twists and turns in the contaminated area and finally delivers the important supplies to the settlement.
This film is old. It shows the moment when the disaster just happened and many residents were forced to stay at home. This global disaster destroyed order.
Reconstruction is a long task, and our predecessors have made countless efforts.
When the play reached a sentimental part, where sacrifices were necessary, Xia Guangli saw her crying and reached out to hold her hand. The ringing sound gradually grew louder, and she pulled her hand out from below and looked for the laptop.
Finally, she found it on her wrist. The ringing sound drowned out the dialogue, and the screen glowed. She apologized softly, "Sorry, I'll be out for a moment."
She bent down and walked towards the door, leaving a dark shadow on the screen. A green light flashed in her bag, and the electronic equipment was starting up.
Xia Guangli pressed the pause button.
It was completely dark. She walked to the patio, sat down at the table, looked up at the stars, and answered the phone: "Hello."
"Good evening... You called me earlier, what's up?"
It was Ares, with a loud and powerful voice.
He finally called back. He must have been alone for the past few days. Since he was fine, she wanted to go back as soon as possible: "No problem, I'm hanging up."
"Hey, hey, wait a minute—"
It was a little different from what he expected. Ares hurriedly spoke to keep her, reluctant to hang up, as if hearing her voice could make people happy.
As soon as he came out and saw the computer, he was shocked, happy and worried by the series of communications.
He was anxious about her coming to blame, happy that she took the initiative to care about him, and worried that if she needed help, she wouldn't be able to get through to him.
He called back hurriedly. The good news was that she was fine, but the bad news was that it was not his fault either.
Ares: "Don't you want to know where I have been lately?"
She blurted out: "It's none of my business."
Friends should also leave some private space between each other and not meddle in other people's affairs or interfere with their privacy, especially between opposite sexes.
It's none of her business. Ares chewed on this sentence in her mind, but she didn't care. Then, a voice came from the receiver, and two men were talking.
Xu Shanshan: "I'm a little busy right now. Sorry, I'll hang up first."
Ares said before the phone was hung up: "Can you come to see me tomorrow?"
Xu Shanshan: "No, I have other plans."
"Then I'll come find you?"
"No." She came here as a guest, and this wasn't really her home, so she couldn't invite guests casually.
The man was silent for a moment, as if a little aggrieved, and said softly: "But I miss you."
“…”
She turned around and saw Captain Xia and Song Xiaoyu standing in the hall chatting. She didn't know if their voices would leak out, so she wanted to say: Then think about it.
It seemed as if she could empathize with him. She felt that she had been too dependent on her ex-boyfriend, which might have caused him similar troubles.
Obsessed, deified, enchanted, unable to control themselves, pinning their happiness on a relationship. She felt sympathy and pity.
"Little Lion misses you too."
She sighed and relented, "Let me think about it."
She will go to the Snake Team tomorrow. Wang Mang is almost well now, and because he has to participate in the exercise, he will undergo another counseling session.
If you really have to make time, it's not impossible, but the schedule is a bit tight.
The two men who had been waiting for a long time came over here, and Xia Guangli spoke first: "Who is it? Calling in the middle of the night?"
She made a shushing gesture, but he still heard it. Ares was holding back his anger, knowing that she was going to stay with someone else on the weekend, but it was never his turn.
This person's voice is different from the last time.
He gritted his teeth, his heart sank, and jealousy surged.
Being interrupted, her thoughts were in a mess and she just wanted to deal with it. She said a few perfunctory words and finally made an excuse that she was busy and would talk again when she was free. Without waiting for him to stay, she hung up the phone in a hurry.
“Beep, beep, beep—”
In the sentry quarters, after a round of games, Falk, who had a moment to look up, jokingly said, "Little Lion, I miss you too."
He chuckled, but found that no one responded. There was a dead silence. Captain Shao Jiang coughed twice in disapproval, something was wrong.
He carefully removed his headphones, placed the tablet under his pillow, and pretended nothing had happened. The captain had been so cheerful and beaming before, but suddenly, all his energy had been drained from him.
Falk: "Captain, are you okay?"
"It's okay." The man waved the door and left.
He didn't look okay, so Falk looked at the deputy captain, thinking he had done something to annoy them and they could discuss it together.
The deputy captain just shook his head and told them not to interfere. Ares just needed some time to accept reality.
He just looked like he was very generous, saying something like, "I can be your mistress." But in fact, he cared a lot in his heart.
Using sex to seduce others was the last thing he should have done, but he did it. That's fine, but the problem is that it doesn't work. What if others aren't lustful?
In fact, Ares is very sensitive about this aspect, and it has been like this since the two of them first met.
The past of being abandoned along with his father.
Hospital.
The blond curls were sunken in the pillow, and a green leaf as big as a fingernail emerged from the top of his head. The man lay on the hospital bed with his eyes open. His hands were fixed, and the injection solution flowed into the vein of his arm drop by drop along the needle.
She must have accidentally pressed the communicator button, and he answered the call automatically without any operation, amplifying the radio, so he heard the whole thing.
This was to ensure her safety, so that if there was any accident, he would be the first to know and arrive in time.
As someone who was often with her, he could probably tell who was talking. The person he was talking to and the two people next to him were all acquaintances.
He remained silent throughout the whole process, listening to her chatting with others.
Until she found the turned-on communicator and tentatively greeted him, but got no response. She just thought it was careless. Captain Xia comforted her and disconnected.
The lights in the hospital ward were turned off at ten o'clock, and he closed his eyes. There would be many people like him.
After two accidents happened in succession, Xu Shanshan's sadness faded. After dealing with them, she sat back in her seat and watched the last hour of the film.
At the end of the film, everyone left the theater because she had been sitting there without moving, her eyes fixed on the screen but not focused. When the lights came on, she was still looking straight ahead.
Xu Shanshan: "Do you know why Karl is in the hospital?"
As soon as she said it, she regretted it. Maybe she was overthinking it. Besides, how could Xia Guangli know?
Unexpectedly, the man replied confidently, "If they're not on a mission and their mental state is relatively stable, it's usually due to violence."
"Are you talking about the one who's always been with you?"
She nodded in agreement, figuring that sending Carl to pick strawberries wasn't a difficult task that would cause him to become seriously ill. He had been assigned to be her subordinate, so he wouldn't suddenly be assigned something else.
As for his mental state, he was always by her side, absorbing the guide element, so he couldn't be much worse. As for violence, Karl had a kind personality and was not the type to attack others. She had never heard him curse at anyone.
If he gets into a conflict with someone else, she will definitely think that the other person started it first.
Xia Guangli: "Since he is your bodyguard, he shouldn't fight with others anymore."
She is more concerned about the reasons than the results. Why?
"He was injured by Ares, the captain of the Feline League. As for the attacker, he was caught and put in solitary confinement for violating regulations."
It was another voice. She turned her head in surprise. It was Song Xiaoyu. He had been sitting there for some time and confirmed in disbelief: "Are you sure?"
"right."
As Song Xiaoyu spoke, he stood up, walked around the aisle, came to the front seat, and sat on the other side of the woman.
He explained the situation on the scene. It was not a secret, nor was it news. Fights among sentries were common, and no one cared.
Those who are favored bear more jealousy. If they only want to win the heart of one person, that person had better be strong enough.
Of all situations, all or nothing is the most unacceptable.
Seeing her confusion, he asked sincerely, "Why?"
Song Xiaoyu was also straightforward and said directly: "I guess it's because of you."
"Because of me, how is that possible?"
She couldn't figure out what her charm was, which left Song Xiaoyu speechless. He couldn't help but ask: Are you serious? Thinking of her background, he could only sigh that this was fate.
Xu Shanshan lowered her head, unable to comprehend the logic behind this. She looked at Xia Guangli in disbelief. She believed him more, "Do you think so too?"
The man didn't avoid looking away, he just didn't want to make it clear and cause her more trouble.
Xia Guangli: "The only connection between them is you."
Was it she who caused the fight between the two?
She felt aggrieved, and Xia Guangli noticed it, then tried to comfort her: "It's not your fault. It's just the bad nature of the sentinels. Just ignore it."
But things cannot be solved by ignoring them. She doesn't want anyone to get hurt because of her, especially this kind of thing that has no positive meaning.
"What should I do?"
"What can I do?" she murmured to herself, as if hoping they would give an answer.
Xia Guangli: "It will be fine once the exercise is over. They will be assigned tasks and leave the tower. Then we won't see each other anymore."
"Or you can live with us."
The real intention was revealed. Xia Guangli took a glance at him and said that this guy was so kind and helped others "uphold justice", but he did not refute it.
As for the guide lady, she neither agreed nor refused. She went back to her room and went to sleep thoughtfully.
