Because he took a detour to the cross-sea bridge, two hours had passed by the time Yu Zhesen returned home.
There was a barbecue night market on the beach on the west side of the cross-sea bridge. Unable to resist Shi Xin's encouragement, he packed up a large portion and took it back as a late night snack.
"Miss Yu, have you had a rest?" Yu Zhesen stood in front of Yu Qingxue's bedroom door and knocked.
He developed this habit when he was roommate with Shen Yunqiu. Whenever he bought late-night snacks, he would bring his roommate along with him.
I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response.
Yu Zhesen shrugged, thinking that he would have to enjoy a double share.
There are also beers and carbonated drinks that I purchased the day before yesterday in the refrigerator, which are a perfect match for the barbecue.
He was thinking happily when he turned around and was startled by Yu Qingxue's figure.
"Are you a cat?" he asked breathlessly, "when did you come?"
"When you are halfway knocking on the door."
"Why don't you say anything?"
Yu Qingxue blinked innocently: "This is part of your observation mission."
What a good excuse. Yu Zhesen glanced towards the study: "Were you working in the study just now?"
Yu Qingxue's eyes fell on the bag he was holding, and she had already smelled the fragrant aroma.
"There are also beers and drinks in the refrigerator." Yu Zhesen saw that she was interested in the late-night snacks he brought, and he was very proud.
"You can't drink." Yu Qingxue said old-fashionedly, "We'd better not drink until the nightmare issue is resolved."
"You are so strict, then maybe we won't have to drink this year."
Yu Zhesen is pessimistic about the investigation efficiency of the Security Bureau, but he himself is not an alcoholic, and carbonated drinks are his destiny.
Yu Qingxue pulled out the seat at the dining table and asked: "The investigation into Nightmare is very pessimistic? I've been busy dealing with Councilor Qiao's tasks these days and haven't paid much attention to your case. Is there any new progress that I can tell you about?
See?"
Yu Zhesen put a large bag of barbecue on the table and curled his lips disdainfully: "There is some progress. More people have come into contact with the nightmare. But so far, only Jing Xiangming and Jian Yang have committed suicide."
The dream service fee is not in his hands at all, and is directly donated to charity through the financial institution acting as an intermediary."
Yu Qingxue opened her mouth in disbelief: "So...his behavior is completely unprofitable?"
"But it's hard to say whether it's for self-protection or because he really wants to do good deeds." Yu Zhesen shook his head, "I must also know that if he uses an electronic bracelet and personal account to collect service fees, the security bureau can find him in minutes." "Speaking of which, did we use his services for nothing last time?"
Yu Zhesen was startled for a moment and looked at Yu Qingxue blankly, not expecting that she could say such words.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Yu Qingxue was stunned.
"No...I always thought you were a humor insulator."
"I'm just trying to express it in your way." Yu Qingxue said lightly, "Although there is no deep intrusion, I have entered your mind and understand some of your language habits."<
/p>
Yu Zhesen waved his hands in disappointment: "Then I'm happy for nothing. I thought you had a boring personality, and you can only see the interesting things after you get familiar with it."
"You don't think we are familiar with each other, do you?" Yu Qingxue shrugged, "I have to remind you, you can't relax. Because of the arrival of Congressman Qiao, Qidao City has recently received a lot of agents from Xingzhou City.
It cannot be ruled out that some of them like to be nosy."
"Who is Congressman Qiao? It seems to me that you obey his words."
"I am a standing member of the Upper House of the Iron Dome Council and will soon come to Qidao City to take up the post of city councilor. No matter whether I return to Starzhou City or stay in Qidao City in the future, I cannot offend him."
Yu Zhesen asked curiously: "Do you still have a chance to stay in the Seven Islands after this mission is over?"
"Logically, I should go back and resume my duties after finishing your matter." She said, "But today Congressman Qiao extended an olive branch to me. He wants to recruit me to work under him."
Jonard is about to take office as the new mayor of Qidao City. If Yu Qingxue really jumps under his command, of course she will have to stay in Qidao.
Yu Zhesen observed her expression and asked hesitantly: "Then should I congratulate you? Congressman Qiao came to Qidao to take office as the city councilor. If you work for him, your salary will be improved, right? Not to mention reuse, it will definitely be better than staying here.
Good at the Supernatural Investigation Department."
"I haven't thought about it yet." Her expression didn't look happy.
"What are your concerns?"
Yu Qingxue pointed to her head with complicated eyes: "I have a problem here."
Yu Zhesen was in awe of her. It was the first time in his life that he had seen someone who could say that he was crazy so calmly.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Qingxue glared at him dissatisfied.
"Are you using mind reading on me?" Yu Zhesen's heart suddenly sank.
Yu Qingxue shook his head and explained: "I don't have the ability to use it, but I can occasionally capture some fragments of thoughts... Usually it needs to be in a relatively quiet environment, and it is best to be alone with people. For example, just now and when we met for the first time.
”
"Then what is the thought fragment you just captured?"
"Three words, crazy." Yu Qingxue stared at him.
Yu Zhesen smiled awkwardly: "I'm not scolding you, it's just an involuntary association. I made the association when you pointed at your head and said there was something wrong here."
"This is not the original expression of my ability." Yu Qingxue's eyes were a little sad, "A telepathic superpower like me could have accurately filtered information, and anything we want to know will not be missed, and anything we don't want to know will be missed.
Don’t pry into anything you need to know.”
Yu Zhesen was silent.
Yu Qingxue's words were tantamount to telling him that she was in a very bad condition.
"This is my concern," she said. "Going to work under Congressman Qiao is a jump to a higher platform for me. If it were three years ago, I would seize this opportunity without hesitation, but now I have to
Worrying about whether I am powerless."
"You should stop all work and receive treatment seriously."
"If there is a reliable treatment method, I will consider it." She smiled bitterly, "But whether it is genetic disorder or traditional hypothetical disease, there is no effective treatment method."
Yu Zhesen sympathized with her again.
Yu Qingxue's eyes changed slightly, and she seemed to have unconsciously captured fragments of his thoughts.
"Don't sympathize with me. The destiny of most telepaths in this world is like this." She said calmly, "There is only a thin line between genius and madman. The day our abilities cross the line, we will become madmen." Yu Zhesen looked at the kebabs in his hands, thinking that he would lose his appetite if we continued talking like this.
He decided to take the initiative in chatting into his own hands: "Do you know how to entertain yourself? Don't be so depressed. Although life will always make you laugh, this does not prevent you from having a spirit of self-entertainment and a sense of humor."<
/p>
"I don't feel like I'm living a miserable life."
"But it's boring, isn't it? There's nothing else but work, and you don't even have a video game on your tablet."
Yu Qingxue explained speechlessly: "Yes...but not on the table."
"Oh? What game is it?"
"Mine clearance..."
"God damn minesweeper, you call that thing a game?"
"It's very relaxing, isn't it?"
"When I couldn't find the right one for the last one, my blood pressure was so high that I had to unzip the yarn and unzip it." Yu Zhesen said he couldn't agree.
Yu Qingxue sighed: "I don't like to kill time by playing games."
"So you lack a sense of humor, but your ability obviously has a sense of humor."
"Where's the humor in reading minds?" Yu Qingxue knew he was talking nonsense, but she still couldn't help but answer.
Only telepaths themselves can understand how bitter it is for outsiders to read minds, which seems to have unlimited glory, and how self-torture it is to sneak into the depths of other people's consciousness.
"Imagine it, for example, when you and your boyfriend are dating, you can't hide any of his thoughts from you, and you can be a perfect partner according to your preferences. And you are sharing beds..."
Yu Zhesen suddenly stopped. He remembered that he did not drink today. No, even if he drank, he should not say such things.
As Yu Qingxue said, they are not very familiar with each other, and she is a person without a sense of humor. Jokes must be divided between people and objects, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
"Go on? What about the bed?" Yu Qingxue bit down hard on the skewers, breaking the wooden skewers and making a crisp crunching sound.
Yu Zhesen remained silent and looked at her apologetically.
"Techniques for fighting in bed?" Yu Qingxue pieced together the fragments of his thoughts and got a short sentence.
Yu Zhesen's expression became even more embarrassed.
"I don't have much hope for having a boyfriend." She spit out the broken wooden stick, "You are right, I can control the other half's thoughts, but you think this is a good thing
?"
Yu Zhesen heard her affirmatively say:
"Human society is inseparable from lies. If people cannot lie... to be precise, they cannot hide their thoughts, our society will collapse immediately. This also applies to lovers."
"Why do you see so clearly...Have you ever had a similar experience?"
"Guess."
Yu Zhesen laughed it off.
"There is only one kind of true heroism in the world." Yu Qingxue wiped his hands with a paper towel, "That is to still love life after recognizing the essence of life."
"Whose motto is this?"
"Romain Rolland, a writer from the old era." Yu Qingxue stood up and left the table, "Thank you for bringing me the supper. It tastes good to indulge occasionally."
