His faint and arrogant smile of a space knight appeared again, "A gentleman lives in the mean."
He also pointed to the cursive Chinese calligraphy work hanging on the side and said softly: "When you are in a superior position, you do not care about your subordinates; when you are in a inferior position, you do not support your superiors. If you correct yourself and do not seek others, you will have no complaints. If you are superior, you will not blame Heaven, and if you are inferior, you will not blame others.
.Therefore, a gentleman lives in peace to wait for his fate, and a villain takes risks to gain luck."
Although his Gaia Chinese was not particularly standard, Xuanji was still stunned.
"You actually know so much! Even I can't understand these cursive scripts." Xuanji was amazed.
But then she thought about it and said immediately: "That's not right. Although Plato people are experts in their own fields, they should know nothing about other knowledge! Where did you learn it?"
"This is my secret." He recalled the experience of the elf library and showed a proud smile, looking like a teenager.
"Hmph..." Xuanji Elf pouted strangely, "Actually, I also like these ancient civilizations, but Eastern culture is too sophisticated for me. When the coalition government implemented the 'Columbus Plan' of interstellar immigration, it also started from the old civilizations.
The sun and earth moved many crystallizations of ancient cultures and built magnificent museums for them. However, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people are interested in the earth's old civilization..."
"People's love for civilization may be rooted in their attachment to the land. Gaia people have been deeply rooted in the living atmosphere of Mangxing City. Almost everyone is busy consuming and living, becoming impetuous and superficial. The earth is far away from Gaia Star.
36 light-years away, which can be considered very close now, but the spiritual world of the Gaians is already desolate, paler than heaven..." She said thoughtfully.
Now it was Kalki who was surprised by Xuanji's words. She must be a girl with very unique ideas. Although she is young, she looked at Gaia from the perspective of a detached person.
"Your understanding of the culture of the old earth seems to be better than that of most Gaians!" She praised him.
The sliding door of the tatami suddenly moved gently to the side. An old man wearing a simple blue-gray kimono knelt outside the sliding door and said in Chinese with a Japanese accent: "My steps are very knowledgeable. These are all brought from the earth.
Including the entire house. However, all the guests regard these as valuable works of art."
"All people are lucky to have the protection of the general, please." The old man nodded humbly.
"How dare you." Kalki wanted to help the old man up, but the latter quickly withdrew.
The sliding door was gently closed again, blocking off Kalki who wanted to get closer. His appearance and disappearance were so sudden, as if nothing had ever happened.
Xuanji couldn't believe her eyes. This scene was like an oriental drama. She had never seen it in Gaia.
"Do you know him?" she asked softly.
Kalki just looked at the Japanese-style sliding door and shook his head.
"The encounters in life are governed by too many laws of the universe. Heaven has its own way, and human beings are ignorant." said the grand leader.
"Is this the so-called 'karma'?" Xuanji asked a little childishly, "You have a fate with Mangxing City and me."
Kalki seemed to want to say something, but immediately gave up and remained quiet.
He originally wanted to say that if being captured was a "karma" with Mangxing City, then he would rather not enter this world. However, if he said this, it would definitely hurt Xuanji's heart.
"Excuse me! Admiral Kalki, Miss Xuan, your dinner is ready."
While the two were standing and talking, the waiter very politely led them to the dining room.
This is the room with the best view in the entire suite, open to a bonsai-like scenery. Strange rocks, green pines, green bamboos and swimming koi fish, everything is so exquisite. Their dinner is placed in the middle of the room.
On the wooden table, you can face the lake shrouded in sunset.
"Oh my god, for a truly immersive experience, you have to kneel down to eat... It's so traditional. I thought such restaurants were extinct." Xuanji whispered, "The environment is great, but my legs...
”
When they made the reservation, they had already stated that Kalki wanted vegetarian Shojin cuisine. Therefore, everything was presented in the most perfect way they could imagine.
The food of excellent quality is placed on black porcelain, which is extremely pure. A white lilac with a graceful diameter is inserted in the middle of the table, exuding a delicate fragrance. A very decorative natural beauty separates the two people dining.
.
"This is a little different from what I imagined..."
"What's the difference?" he asked her.
"I thought that such an expensive dinner should be a table full of exquisite sushi, as well as bluefin tuna, super large peony shrimp, king crab, Eastern star spot, tiger crab, black caviar... you can eat as much as you want, but this is the result
Click."
This time it was Kalki who smiled, "A dragon... eats a lot of seafood in Gaia."
The head of the group actually started to make fun of her. Xuanji covered her face with a fan, looking very cute.
"Let's start!"
After sitting down, both of them couldn't get started with the exquisite dinner that was like a work of art. Kalki obviously didn't know how to start, and Xuanji could only say one sentence to relieve the awkward atmosphere.
"Are your legs okay?" Xuanji asked him. With his legs so long, can he kneel for a long time? She thought worriedly, because she couldn't even kneel comfortably.
"Not bad." He spoke more and more Chinese.
"Take it like this, like this..."
She taught him how to use chopsticks. At first he seemed clumsy and even dropped one on the floor. The waitress in kimono came to help diligently, which made him look very embarrassed and his cheeks were slightly red. But his learning ability is extremely good.
Qiang, she quickly learned to use chopsticks, but the way she held them seemed a little weird.
She couldn't help but look at his fair and slender hands. The captain's hands were not very big, but rather delicate and long. It may have been caused by excessive exertion for a long time. The veins were highlighted on the white skin, making him look very powerful. Every part of his body
Every part is almost perfect, like a person who has been nurtured and raised with the most careful attention. Kalki's neck and chin are very beautiful, and he looks very graceful when he lowers his head to eat. When he eats in a kimono, he looks very much like an Oriental.
.The man in front of her now was completely different from the murderous leader she saw for the first time. Only his eyes were the same as the first time she saw him. He was a man with a crystal clear soul. At the same time,
It is also extremely profound and mysterious.
"Is it delicious?" she asked.
“It tastes similar to canteen food.”
Xuanji almost laughed out loud. But then she thought about it, this might be the highest compliment he could give to food. He might not have eaten outside his own group. She understood that his elegance was actually a reflection of reality.
Lament, hiding one's strength and violence.
"Still as a virgin, as active as a rabbit." She suddenly thought of a famous saying in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu describing a strong army. It was also very appropriate to describe Kalki's character. He may be the best general today, but he has hidden secrets.
Very good.
"Why are you looking at me?" he asked. He was very alert, and he had special feelings about the thoughts of the people around him. He seemed to be aware that she was secretly commenting on him.
"It's delicious!" She exclaimed cutely like a fool, turned her face, and coolly picked up a piece of tofu and stuffed it into her mouth. She thought to herself: Kalki, you taught me this trick to confuse the enemy. p>
"Oh, we're going to see Gaia's youngest and most handsome general!
Before they finished eating, there were many girls' voices outside the sliding door, making noisy noises, with the typical Japanese girl's stuck throat, slightly high-pitched but very pleasant voice. Outside the door, a group of people dressed in grand clothes
, the very beautifully dressed geisha secretly wanted to move the sliding door to see the legendary "29-year-old general". Although they had seen many Gaia generals, most of them were old men, or in their forties or fifties.
middle-aged people.
Curious, Kalki opened the door to inquire about the chatter. As a result, many beauties in gorgeous and exquisite kimonos rushed in through the crack of the door like a group of cats, hugging the general from all angles. Then, everyone started talking.
They formed a group and kept saying words in Japanese such as "sugar" (hateful), "private から比を胜うな" (don't rob me), "やめてください" (don't do this) and so on. Fortunately, Kalki has amazing physical strength.
Just like picking up kittens, you can gently pick them off one by one.
Xuanji saw that his face turned red again, like a shy student. His shyness in front of women was completely different from his confidence and ease on the battlefield. His long-term abstinence life made him instinctively avoid contact with the opposite sex.
"I can dance!" "I can play the piano!" "I can do ikebana!"
They are coquettish and cute, competing cutely.
"Only one person is needed to perform. Thank you dear ladies, please come back." Kalki very politely persuaded all the geishas who were very gorgeously dressed and gorgeous, leaving only one geisha wearing a blue background with white flowers.
Beautiful girl in kimono,
"Please play the Sanxian for us." He returned to his original position, but he didn't seem to want to kneel anymore, so he simply sat cross-legged in a relaxed and relaxed manner.
Xuanji looked at this slender girl. She had thick brown curly hair, loosely pulled into a bun, and her bangs were trimmed into a slanted fashion. She held a handful of shamisen made of red sandalwood in her hand. She had no hair on her body.
Any gorgeous decoration looks very elegant.
It seems that he likes simple and elegant beauty, she thought to herself.
At this time, night had just fallen, and the purple-rose color of twilight turned into the darkness of night, spreading like water throughout the elegant and exquisite space.
"My name is Fujiko, distinguished guest, what music do you want to listen to?" The girl chose to kneel at the corner of the railing by the water, tuning the strings, and asked.
Kalki looked at this oriental elegance with some fascination, something he had never experienced in his serious and intense military life.
"Play a nocturne." His voice was full of dignity, completely in line with his status as Admiral of Gaia.
She gently played the melodious and gentle strings with a cymbal, and slowly sang a cappella in Japanese:
君がみ心に hugging かれて文くは (being held in your arms and listening)
The song of the boat and the bird in the dream (the song of the boat and the singing of the bird in the dream)
The flowers of Suzhou in the water are scattered in spring (the flowers in Suzhou, the water town, fall in spring)
爱しむかwillowがすすりcryく(It’s a pity that the willow is crying)
花をうかべて流れる水の.(Flowing water with floating petals)
明日のゆくえは知らねども(Do you know where tomorrow will go)
こよい影したふたりの POSITION (Tonight the shadows of the two are reflected)
Erase it (please never erase it)
Hairdresser and kisser (decorate it on your hair and give it a light kiss)
Jun's hands folded peach blossoms. (The peach blossoms folded by your hands)
涙ぐむよなおぼろの月に.(Tears and misty moonlight)
The bell rings at Hanshan Temple. (The bell echoes at Hanshan Temple)
Kalki sat and listened quietly, fascinated. He had never heard a girl sing before. Plato's laws prohibited any form of art - painting, singing, sculpture, etc., and he had never been educated in any art.
Books can teach him a lot of things, but the only shortcoming is that there are no songs and music. During battle, he can hear the roar of various weapons and internal machinery. At ordinary times, he can hear the sea, wind and various natural sounds.
I have never heard human singing.
The girl's melodious and soft singing rippled far and wide under the waves of the dark night. His soul, behind the golden horse, was intoxicated by the beauty's singing.
Xuanji saw him so intoxicated and staring at the beautiful singer with fascination, and she was almost jealous - jealous, she suddenly realized that she would be jealous for him.
"Please come back!"
After the singer finished her performance, Kalki invited her back.
At this time, the night was getting dark, and all kinds of lights were on. He looked at the entire open water area of Karuizawa Prince Hotel alone. This artificial lake was almost crystal clear, with green algae and water plants floating in the water, and koi carps of various colors.
Swimming leisurely in it, the water is rippling in the breeze, which is very beautiful.
The other surrounding courtyard suites were also built around this water area. These suites seemed to be very lively. Many singers and geishas were performing for the guests, making noisy laughter and music. Xuanji stood side by side with him silently.
, there is a Yae Sakura tree blooming in full bloom on the far bank of the water. When the wind blows, the pink petals scatter on the water, echoing the laughter and floating on the clear waves. The electronic sky above shows the ancient night sky of the earth.
, simulating the feeling of Japan, he looked up at the Big Dipper and the North Star. This was a dream for the ruling class of Gaia, a virtual dream——

"The East is a poetic country." Kalki sighed softly.
"When I was young, I once read a Chinese poem." He turned to Xuanji, "I don't ask for a city jade, but I ask for a murderous sword, to awaken the power of the world, and to lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman."
"Those words looked very complicated, like alien words, neatly arranged vertically, as if they contained many secrets... I didn't understand their meaning at the time. I felt that the East was complicated and was ruled by the fallen warrior class of the ancient earth.
They like beauties and wine. How pure we Plato warriors are, adhering to noble doctrines, staying away from women, alcohol, and all kinds of depraved entertainment... The world I live in is so beautiful, so simple, so perfect and pure."
"Simple, stupid, shallow, childish," he used many adjectives in succession, and began to get excited. "It turns out that we are all living in a false world, just like the guests under this simulated starry sky, enjoying ourselves to the fullest, but not knowing that it is unreal.
”
"Kalki?" Xuanji was a little confused. She didn't know what he was referring to.
"They only taught us how to use weapons, and we knew nothing else." He lowered his head, as if he was deeply introspecting and thinking, "Over the years, I have only learned how to kill people and defend myself."
"Xuanji, I..." He turned his head and met her eyes.
He also shone in the dark night, his golden hair had a hint of cold light, and the dark night made his handsome face look like a three-dimensional sculpture. She suddenly felt her heart beating like a deer, and his fingers touched her chin and looked at her soft lips. He seemed to be trying to get closer to her slowly. She felt her whole body stiffen and felt his delicious breath.
Suddenly, he became more curious and expectant about the world. In her clear and bright black eyes, there was something he wanted to seek.
