"Well..."
Yu Zhesen opened his eyes in confusion and vaguely saw the credits for the curtain call being played on the screen in front of him.
He moved his body a little, and the windbreaker covering him slid down a little.
I raised my wrist to look at the time. It had been almost an hour.
I picked up the small half-can of drink in the groove of the seat armrest and poured it into my mouth. The carbonic acid gas had almost escaped, leaving only the sweet taste of industrial saccharin in my mouth.
Where was Claire? After drinking the rest of the drink in one gulp, Yu Zhesen looked around with the empty can.
He thought Claire had slipped out to find a place to smoke, and after sitting there and waiting for a few minutes, no one came back.
The next movie was about to start, and tourists on the boat were entering through the front door one after another. Yu Zhesen decided to leave.
He folded his windbreaker and put it on his arm, stood up and walked quickly to the exit passage at the back of the screening room.
Standing at the exit of the theater, Yu Zhesen took out his mobile phone to check his unread messages.
The first one was a thank you from Chu Yuexi, the words were so polite that it gave him an unfamiliar sense of distance.
But considering that interns are a bit stubborn, he didn't think much about it.
The second item was an adult education advertisement, which Yu Zhesen crossed out at the speed of light.
The third message was sent by An He 15 minutes ago, telling him that An Zhitian was awake and was currently taking her on the boat, and attached a detailed planned route.
There was no emergency, and Wu Xiaoming did not contact him. It seemed that he could move freely until nightfall.
Yu Zhesen was about to call Claire and ask her where she was. When he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of a figure approaching him quickly from the side.
He turned his head warily, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes after seeing the person clearly.
"Are you free?" Shen Yunqiu, who was also wearing a mask, reached out to him with calm eyes, "How about we chat for a while?"
"Okay." Yu Zhesen agreed without hesitation.
He thought Shen Yunqiu would take him to a secluded place where no one would be, but he didn't expect that after leaving the theater, he turned two corners and arrived at a coffee shop.
"I remember that besides carbonated drinks, you also like to drink coffee." Shen Yunqiu directly ordered two cups of latte.
"I like to drink instant..."
"Really? It's a pity that there is no such friendly coffee on this cruise ship." Shen Yunqiu took off his mask, "Is it okay to try more expensive ones occasionally?"
Yu Zhesen didn't know what to say. He wanted to go directly to the topic to persuade Shen Yunqiu to get rid of Han Jinghu's control, but he was afraid that he would ruin this rare interview initiated by Shen Yunqiu.
So he planned to remain silent first and see what Shen Yunqiu wanted to do with him.
"You were on the boat because of that windbreaker, right?" Shen Yunqiu could see from Yu Zhesen's clothes that the windbreaker was not what he was wearing today.
Commissioners of the Security Bureau will wear a shirt and tie under their windbreaker uniform, while Yu Zhesen's outfit today is a casual jacket and short-sleeved shirt - coming from Wu Xiaoming's aesthetic.
Yu Zhesen nodded and admitted that he was not on a mission.
"Then are you going to the island to save my family?"
"I can't guarantee success...Old Shen, but I will try my best." Yu Zhesen said seriously.
Shen Yunqiu stared at Yu Zhesen and shook his head slowly: "No, you don't have to do this. They are my family and have nothing to do with you. Besides, you are now a member of the Security Bureau. Are you still doing whatever you want like before? Doing something? ”
"Old Shen, it's too outrageous to say that."
"I don't think so." Shen Yunqiu added a sugar cube to the coffee, "To be honest, I thank you for everything you have done for me in the past. That's enough, Yu Zhesen."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean, enough is enough?"
"It means that I hope you will stop and stop interfering in my affairs. Unless you want to arrest me as a commissioner of the Security Bureau."
Shen Yunqiu's eyes were cold and determined.
Yu Zhesen resisted the urge to argue with him and asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
"You don't have to worry about that."
Shen Yunqiu did not want to reveal the slightest information to him, and said to himself: "If you think I am still a friend now, it would be the best help for you to ignore my affairs. Don't worry, I will tell you when the matter is over. The Security Bureau surrendered."
He glanced at Yu Zhesen, who was open-mouthed in a daze, and said half-jokingly: "Maybe I can find a chance for you to catch me then, and I'll treat it as a reward for you."
"What kind of medicine did you take wrongly?" Yu Zhesen couldn't bear it and slapped his palm on the table. "This is what you want to talk to me about?"
"Yes, the main purpose is to make you give up the idea of causing trouble." Shen Yunqiu took a sip of coffee, "By the way, I saw Miss An on the boat. The middle-aged man she accompanied was your adoptive father, right? ”< /p>
Yu Zhesen looked at Shen Yunqiu with puzzled eyes.
Shen Yunqiu sighed softly: "I think you should protect your own family instead of letting them be involved in danger."
"This does not conflict with me helping you."
"You just used the word 'gang', didn't you?" Shen Yunqiu smiled, "Birds of a feather flock together, and we have lived together for two years, and in some ways we have similar personalities. Can't you compare your feelings with each other? Do you think I am a person who doesn’t want to trouble others like you?"
He further asked: "Imagine, if it were your family members who were trapped on the island now, would you agree to let me intervene?"
Yu Zhesen was stunned for a moment, knowing that the answer in his heart was "unwilling".
If An He and Lao An were in danger, he would certainly not want Shen Yunqiu to go through fire and water for him.
Yu Zhesen's silence was unexpected by Shen Yunqiu. He said, "Yeah, you won't be happy to let me intervene."
"This is sophistry." Yu Zhesen retorted, "Old Shen, I don't want you to intervene because you have not received relevant training, and you are not a superpower. I am better than you in combat matters..."
He did not continue because Shen Yunqiu's expression was very scary at the moment.
It's not scary in the ferocious sense, but sad, angry, humiliating and unwilling.
"So you help me again and again, is it sympathy for the weak? Is it the sense of responsibility of the capable towards the incompetent? Are you the Holy Mother?"
"I'm not." Yu Zhesen's eyes darkened, "Whether you are sarcastic or serious, I am not worthy of this word."
Shen Yunqiu lowered his hair and laughed at himself: "I don't know what you are like in front of other people, but in my eyes, you are this kind of person... The Holy Mother, or the 'Hanging upside down' in the Tarot cards. People'."
"Tower...Tarot cards? The Hanged Man?" Yu Zhesen was a little confused. He had no research on this.
"Symbolizes dedication and self-sacrifice." Shen Yunqiu nodded, "Can you still recall how you felt when you jumped out of the train and fell from the bridge holding the cultist with the bomb buried in his body?"< /p>
Yu Zhesen lowered his gaze. He was reluctant to recall these "highlight" moments in the eyes of others.
"I probably didn't think about anything at that moment." He replied to Shen Yunqiu, "Only when we give up thinking can we overcome selfishness and muster up real courage."
"Is that so?" Shen Yunqiu was a little surprised by this answer. He curled his lips mockingly: "It seems that I still don't know you well enough."
"Old Shen, what's the point of worrying about this now?" Yu Zhesen felt that the conversation between the two had deviated from their original intentions because they were mixed with each other's emotions.
Arguments that are divorced from reality will not be helpful in solving the difficulties that will be faced next.
"I've made it very clear, I don't need you to meddle in your own business."
Shen Yunqiu closed his eyes and rubbed one temple with his hand, "I am responsible for the path I have chosen, and I will accept it no matter what the final result is."
After that, he drank the coffee in one gulp, picked up the mask, stood up and left.
Yu Zhesen took two seconds to react and quickly chased after him: "Old Shen! Wait!"
Shen Yunqiu started running as soon as he left the coffee shop, as if he had expected that Yu Zhesen would chase him and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Stop! Shen Yunqiu!"
Yu Zhesen chased for a short distance and was surprised to find that he could not keep up with Shen Yunqiu's speed.
This is too unreasonable. In terms of physical strength, he is superior to Shen Yunqiu, and he is strengthened by the blood of God. This should not happen.
"His legs may be equipped with concealed motion-enhanced exoskeletons." Shi Xin analyzed, "It is completely possible with Xingtian Heavy Industries' technology."
While running, Yu Zhesen observed the direction in which Shen Yunqiu was escaping. He was already familiar with the structure of the cruise ship, and he immediately thought of a way to intercept it by taking a shortcut.
"Take the elevator!"
"No! Avoid the elevator!" Shi Xin shouted to stop him.
Eh? Yu Zhesen's heart tightened, and he hid in a hidden place under Shi Xin's warning.
He poked half of his head towards the elevator and saw that the elevator door opened in the distance, and An Zhitian, An He and a group of tourists walked out.
Yu Zhesen secretly thought that it was a dangerous situation and quietly retreated.
Passers-by on the cruise ship obscured Yu Zhesen's sight, and he lost track of Shen Yunqiu.
