Chapter 31: Trust and Insecurity

"The rebirth of light and hope," Natsuran muttered, he didn't understand the meaning of Thangka's words, but he was clearly haunted by something that had an even greater impact on the night.

In this regard, Xia Ran didn't dare to interject and comment rashly, but she also seemed a little embarrassed. At this time, an idea came to Xia Ran's mind: Where did Hugo, this kid, run away?

The instant noodles were already cooked, and Xia Ran ate them fragrantly. Thangka said: "How, is it still to your taste?"

Xia Ran said: "Very good, why don't you have a bowl?" Thangka shook his head to indicate that he was not hungry.

Xia Ran said: "I also ate a lot of instant noodles at Hugo's two days ago, so much so that now when I smell this smell, I can't help but think of Hugo's." ”

Thangka said: "How, do you miss it more?"

Xia Ran's head shook like a rattle and said: "It's like nine deaths, and there is always a sense of crisis that you haven't eaten the last meal." ”

Thangka's eyes flashed with a faint smile: "It sounds very scary." ”

Xia Ran said: "It's okay, after all, everything is over." Anyway, things are finally getting better now. ”

Thangka said: "It can only be said that it is this time and that time, and the danger here should have been greater than that of Hugo." ”

Xia Ran grinned and said, "No, don't scare me, I'm not too bold." ”

Thangka only smiled at this, she was not particularly familiar with Xia Ran, and she would not tell her that she had died once in that turmoil.

Thangka pondered for a moment and then said, "I would venture to ask, how did you meet Hugo?"

Xia Ran chewed the noodles in his mouth carefully, tilted his head and pondered for a moment before saying: "To some extent, I am a victim, because I told a person some of my opinions before, Hugo learned about it by chance, and then he found my residence, although I was also on guard at the time, but this kid's methods were really good, and he was finally caught, and then I was coaxed and intimidated by him to come here to work as a coolie." ”

Thangka said, "Oh, so you didn't do it of your own free will. ”

Xia Ran's heart moved when he heard this, and he was afraid that his momentary speed would make Thangka dissatisfied, so he hurriedly said: "Don't forget it, as I grew up in the artesian street, the metropolitan area is more like a fantasy and taboo place, and there are also a lot of yearning for suspicion." Hugo's arrival was an opportunity in a way, and I think I would have taken the opportunity to come here and have a look without his arrival. ”

Thangka nodded, although Thangka was not a gossip lover, but out of human nature, Thangka couldn't help but be curious about the world of Liujie.

"With all due respect, what kind of world is Wandering Street?"

Xia Ran smiled: "I think you are not the only one in the future who asks this question like me, I understand your questions and curiosity, but the answer... I'm afraid it will disappoint you. All I can say is that Drift Street is not what you hear or even guess on a daily basis. There's a... It's a colorful world. ”

Thangka smiled: "I am a little curious about the world of Liujie when you say this, and I would love to go there if I have the chance." ”

Xia Ran said happily: "That's very good, I can be your tour guide at that time, and explain in advance that it's all free." ”

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Xia Ran smiled: "No thanks, this can be said to be my honor, you must know that for centuries, except for refugees, no one has entered Liujie purely for sightseeing purposes." ”

Thangka said: "The grievances and prejudices between the metropolitan area and Liujie for hundreds of years have been so cautious that they have reached a point where they are incompatible, and it is extremely difficult for the two sides to sit together calmly one day." ”

Xia Ran said: "I'm afraid it's more difficult than asking Moses to split the Pacific Ocean." ”

"Of course, many times the conflict mainly happens to people with vested interests, and these people often have enormous power in their hands. The so-called contradiction is sometimes a conflict between power and interest. ”

Xia Ran said: "It's so profound!"

Thangka smiled a little shyly: "It's just nonsense." ”

For some reason, tonight's Thangka changed his previous indifferent and indifferent personality, and he talked a little endlessly. This surprised Thangka himself.

Thinking about it, maybe I was a little overwhelmed by today's situation, and I had to talk about other things to make myself forget about these things for a while.

However, the more you want to escape, the more difficult it is to escape.

The things that had been bothering Thangka tonight finally came to his mind.

"You... Do you trust Hugo?"

Thangka suddenly asked Xia Ran, it was not so much a question as it was Thangka's muttering, the same question Thangka seemed to be asking himself.

"Huh?" Xia Ran, who had just finished eating instant noodles, was a little confused by Thangka's sudden question, but he naturally wouldn't slack off on Thangka's question.

After a short and quick period of serious thought, Xia Ran said: "I should trust Hugo... Although it wasn't very pleasant to get along with this guy, and the first impression was very scary, Hugo was generally reliable, and he didn't deceive me. And it helped me a lot... Ahem... I can't say how close a friend he is, but I still trust this person. ”

Thangka smiled lightly and shook his head, "I'm sorry, my words may have misled you." I'm not saying I don't trust Hugo, there aren't many people I trust in this world, but he's one. His life was saved by him, and at that time everyone had given up hope in me. I'm really grateful to him for that. But..."

Thangka said this, and after a pause, he said: "But many times he also puts too much pressure on himself, and many things are not within the scope of his obligations..."

Xia Ran nodded and said, "It can be seen that he is a very...'eventy' person." ”

Thangka nodded approvingly, then said, "Although I have a lot of trust in him, when it comes to some important things... Even if it was for him to do it, I would be relieved. ”

Xia Ran smiled: "This is normal, just like when your lover goes to the front line, you will always worry..." Speaking of this, Xia Ran suddenly realized that his analogy was very wrong, and immediately wanted to slap himself twice.

Thangka's face turned red when she heard this, and she didn't refute Xia Ran's words, but just looked sideways at the dark window and said, "I hope that after tonight, everything will be fine." ”
