"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it, so I'd better leave it to someone who needs it more." Lingsi thought carefully and silently declined this kindness.
Jiu'an was shaken for a moment, but still said: "Since Miss Lingsi has said so, I won't force it."
"Miss Ayasi, remember not to tell anyone about what happened this afternoon."
"knew."
The sun was setting outside. Lingsi and Jiu'an, who locked the door, walked out of the creative workshop together.
Many members have finished their work for the day and are preparing to go back to their residences to rest.
Looking at the members of the Spirit Shadow Society talking and laughing in front of her, Lingsi felt deeply.
It seems that most of the members here hope that the Spirit Shadow Society can continue, and it is not difficult for Lingsi to understand the behavior of the members of the Spirit Shadow Society - in order to protect the last pure land.
"Miss Lingsi, we'll see you tomorrow." Jiu An said goodbye.
Lingsi waved her hand, "Goodbye."
Next, Lingsi was about to return to her residence. Now she just wanted to lie in bed and sleep until she woke up naturally, and then think about dinner.
The sunset shines on the road, forming orange light and shadow, a half-dark and half-light junction. This is a unique scene at dusk, and it is also the most special time of the day. I heard that at this time, the outline on the horizon will
Blurred. Where you can overlap with your past self and achieve physical and soul connection.
Naturally, Lingsi doesn't believe this ancient rumor. But after all, it involves the content of vague memories from the past, so Lingsi will still try to understand it.
Going to the horizon at the end of the world at dusk is definitely not something I can do.
Lingsi had already reached her residence unknowingly.
…
"Eh……"
When Lingsi returned to her residence, she met a person who put Lingsi in a dilemma—Xiang Yu. The familiar face appeared about ten meters in front of her. In order to avoid meeting her, Lingsi moved proactively
Stopped.
The last time Lingsi talked to Xiang Yu was before the business negotiations a few days ago.
At that time, Xiang Yu and Ling Si had an obvious discord due to Xiang Yu's laissez-faire and Muse's fierce speech.
Later, Lingsi learned about the failure of the business negotiation from the real-time online report. She seemed a little hesitant about whether to care about Xiang Yu after the mission failed.
And this time, the chance encounter happened again...
Finally, Lingsi plucked up the courage and walked up. Her voice was sweet and authentic: "Mr. Xiang Yu, are you okay?"
Xiang Yu also saw Ling Si, paused, and said, "I'm fine, so good that it's a bit too good."
Lingsi held her forehead helplessly: "Mr. Xiang Yu, are you still angry and troubled about what happened before?"
"No. I am already a middle-aged mature man, not an underage brat. I don't care what happened before. It's just that I recently recalled a past incident and felt that I was a bit stupid in the past."
Lingsi laughed at herself: "Really? Maybe I'm not much better in the past. I can lose the memory of the past and live alone in the capital."
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Miss Lingsi, you have become different." Xiang Yu glanced at the large number of Spirit Shadow Society members around him, "If it's convenient, come to my room to talk. It's too noisy here.
"
"
Okay." Lingsi nodded directly without hesitation.
Xiang Yu's room is on the first floor below Ling Si's. The interior of the room is neater and cleaner than Ling Si imagined in her mind. The entire small space is reasonably planned, giving people a bright feeling.
Lingsi looked around with an envious expression.
Xiang Yu was forced to explain: "Miss Lingsi, don't show such a strange expression. I learned some knowledge about space design during my previous mercenary mission."
Lingsi said strangely: "Well, to be honest, from the perspective of my artistic goddess, the layout of Mr. Xiang Yu's room is very good."
"When did you become the goddess of art?" the uninformed Xiang Yu complained.
Lingsi sat on the floor and said excitedly: "Let's not talk about it for now. In this space where there are only two of us, can Mr. Xiang Yu honestly tell you about your past?"
Xiang Yu murmured in a low voice: "Why is Miss Lingsi so enthusiastic? It should be my own decision to say it or not."
"Mr. Xiang Yu, aren't we partners? If we don't understand each other, it's difficult to trust each other, so I want to know more about Mr. Xiang Yu."
Xiang Yu thought pessimistically that Lingsi probably just wanted to find a reason to use her like President Mo Tong.
"If Mr. Xiang Yu is unwilling, forget it. I want to know Mr. Xiang Yu's past because I just feel that I have difficulty getting along with Mr. Xiang Yu recently, and I want to improve our relationship from different aspects."
After listening to Lingsi's explanation, Xiang Yu had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll explain it a little bit."
Under Lingsi's persuasion, Xiang Yu reluctantly told Lingsi about the past in his memories.
It starts from becoming a mercenary and ends with the discovery of Lingsi in the capital.
Lingsi's expression was a little heavy: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Xiang Yu in the past was like this."
"I was wandering alone, living a long-term underground mercenary life, and got the rare title of 'non-killer'. I chose to retire because I was misunderstood, and then when I was forced by life, I happened to meet that person.
The Spirit Shadow Association offers a huge bounty, and I want to try my best to turn my bicycle into a motorcycle."
"However, until Xiang Yu contacted me via email, I didn't know that Mr. Xiang Yu had been living aimlessly in the capital for half a year, like looking for a needle in a haystack. If I couldn't be found within half a year, what would happen to Mr. Xiang Yu?
It’s not about going bankrupt where you are.”
Xiang Yu looked at Ling and thought, "That's why I mustered up the courage to risk my future and give it a try. And I also want to meet the legendary humanoid girl."
"The humanoid girl is not a perfect existence." Lingsi said with a smile, "Thanks to Mr. Xiang Yu's good luck, he avoided the crisis of bankruptcy."
Lingsi unknowingly stepped on Xiang Yulei again.
Xiang Yu's face darkened and he said: "I didn't avoid bankruptcy. It's better to say that this huge bounty is what makes me most desperate. President Mo Tong of the Spirit Shadow Society, that guy is simply a profiteer who doesn't keep his word. He actually used
He didn't bring you here as an excuse, didn't give me a penny, and forced me to work hard for him. After spending all my savings for many years, I have completely lost money. If it weren't for the food and accommodation in the Lingyinghui headquarters, I would have lost everything.
It will be declared bankrupt soon."
"I guess President Mo Tong took advantage of the loophole, so that Mr. Xiang Yu had no way out and was forced to join the Lingying Society." Lingsi speculated.
"Just like you said."
Then, Lingsi made a promise: "Mr. Xiang Yu, thank you for trusting me and telling me about the past. Although I have lost the memory of the past, I promise that one day, I will tell you the same about the past.
Let me listen to you."
"Um...Miss Lingsi, you don't need to be so outspoken." Xiang Yu always felt that Lingsi today was a little unusual, and she seemed to be a little too kind to him.
"It's not an exaggeration, it's an understanding and expression between partners." Lingsi said, "Mr. Xiang Yu, can you tell me about the failed business negotiation meeting?"
Xiang Yu really didn't want to recall everything that happened that day. He was really disappointed that day. It was obviously his initiative to stand up for the first time, but it was ruined during the successful negotiation signing. He should not be suitable to be the one to stand up.
kind of thing."
"Sorry, if you don't want to think about it, forget it."
"No, I can't continue to escape." Xiang Yu made up his mind and prepared for the next thought.
He clearly knows that running away will not solve any problem.
Xiang Yu looked at Lingsi's pure white face and said firmly: "The business negotiation meeting held by ASEAN City that day was in the safe ASEAN City Conference Building. All representatives of ASEAN City's business organizations, including me, thought so.
But once people relax their vigilance at one point, it is easy for people to be defeated."
"When the business negotiations reached an impasse, as a representative of the Spirit Shadow Society, I was forced to stand up and propose a good solution to the other representatives. Those representatives who were suspicious of each other and distrustful of each other were basically convinced, but it happened that
During the signing and confirmation process, some people finally couldn't help but take action. They incited representatives with limited trust and different positions to disrupt the meeting venue with guns and other weapons, forcing the meeting to end in failure. And I
The fantasy of standing up and trying to make the meeting go smoothly also came to nothing.”
Having said this, Xiang Yu lowered his head, trying not to reveal his expression like the protagonist of a tragic novel.
Lingsi smiled like an angel and said: "I know, it feels uncomfortable to try hard to change, only to be undermined by others."
"...Hmm." Xiang Yu choked up a little.
Xiang Yu thought to himself: It was really immature for him to show his vulnerability in front of a humanoid girl who looked to be only a teenager.
Lingsi finally took the initiative and said: "The causes and consequences of this negotiation meeting have not been clarified. Mr. Xiang Yu does not need to be too depressed. It will be reorganized after the meeting. President Mo Tong also talked about this matter with me recently. He said
This is just a sign, stronger storms are yet to come, so you should brace yourself as soon as possible."
"According to President Mo Tong, the Lingying Association and even the entire ASEAN City will be in turmoil in the next few months, and everyone needs to work together to tide over the difficulties."
Xiang Yu said a little dejectedly: "If you talk about it in such detail, President Mo Tong can't be a great prophet."
"By the way, did President Mo Tong entrust you with any work?"
Lingsi told Xiang Yu without reservation: "Well, he gave me the important supervision work. He wanted me, who had the most leisure time at the Lingyinghui headquarters, to find possible traitors."
"That President Mo Tong is really unfathomable. If I knew his past, I wouldn't have to be so upset." Xiang Yu grabbed his messy hair, "No matter what the President said is true or false, we have to do it."
