The chirping of insects in the middle of summer is transmitted into the quiet library. The rhythm of turning the pages and tapping the keyboard plays a beautiful and quiet sound.

Patrick turned the page of a novel, quietly and carefully, enjoying the slow time.

He may be a ghost god of battlefield legends, but at this moment, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is just a sickly white-skinned young man.

The noise of insects accentuates the silence, and another breaks it.

"Ah~ah, the library is really a place that I can't figure out," Sure enough, madness is absolutely unbearable, "Obviously there are almost all the materials on the Internet, what is the meaning of its existence?"

Patrick was glad he was the only one who could hear him, because it was really noisy.

But it doesn't matter, he's here to kill time, so you might as well talk to him.

Where did G41 go? went to play with her friends, what else did she have to go to a concert, otherwise he ...... At least not to go crazy here.

"It's not the same, it's not the same. Patrick's mouth didn't move, he just said his words in his head.

"What's the difference?"

"In your eyes it's data, and in someone else's eyes, it's books. He said, turning the page back.

"Does a book mean it is infused with emotion and effort?" must have been too boring to think about it madly.

"Pretty much the same feeling. ”

"Not bad. ”

"In addition, the environment and atmosphere of the library can make people calm down, which is a very valuable space resource in today's world. ”

"You are not wrong to say that," said the madman, "that a book is very informative and single-minded, but rather makes the reader think without distractions." ”

"Hmm. Patrick replied casually.

Although he did not agree with the mad machine's statement, he still agreed with his interpretation. He continued to read the novel in his hand, which was an urban type of literature, not large, and he could easily spread it out on one hand. The plot in the book is decent, with corresponding ups and downs, and the overall plot is logical, and there are no obstacles to read. However, the novel is fictional after all, a product of more sensuality, and some of the emotions in the book are too exaggerated and the details are too brilliant to be described, so that Patrick cannot appreciate the subtlety of it.

How can he, who has been exhausted, understand?

However, it is precisely because of this that he can feel the strong desire of human beings for beautiful things at the moment. Perhaps, the same is true for the human form, if I can find a novel written by the human form, I really want to see it.

"Having said that, nowadays novels like to write about love and love, whether it is science fiction, urban, magic...... It's all like that. ”

"Because people like to look at it, it's like chewing honey in their mouths. ”

"Come on, some people aren't living in honeypots yet. ”

Patrick was silent. He knew who the madness was referring to. However, he and G41 are not as vigorous or insipid as the love in the novel. It is only the war they participate in that is vigorous, and only their daily communication is ordinary.

In retrospect, it has been 40 years since he and the G41 first met, and only they know what a difficult number it is. Maybe for the average person, it has long been abandoned.

People, both human and human, have suffered from war, and it is difficult for the affection and love they should have to blossom and bear fruit. Because it is difficult to see the flowers in full bloom, people will look to books and seek them in black and white.

Patrick sighed and closed the book. He had no intention of reading any more, put the novel back in its place, and left the library.

As soon as he stepped outside, the heat of the sun shone through his thin hood and onto his pale skin.

Due to the summer vacation, even in the hot weather, there are still many people on the streets, many of them small families formed by human figures and humans. According to the results of their efforts, the theory proved by madness is that the structure of the human form is roughly the same as that of humans, and according to statistics, the actual fertility rate is also considered to be in the normal range, and it is absolutely feasible from an objective scientific point of view.

Yet even if the opposite is true, Patrick believes that there will be many people who will follow the same path, regardless of their reasons.

Falling into memories again, the picture of fighting side by side with the G41 is vivid. From the contaminated zone against the Revolutionary Union and Iron Blood, to the safe zone under the deterrence of Luo Lian to unravel the hidden secrets of the I.O.P Manufacturing company, and the mission during and after the antarctic war. As a comrade-in-arms, she has always followed his instructions and acted loyally, and as a partner, she has everything for his sake.

Patrick gently gripped the necklace around his neck, where the proof of his oath to the G41 was on—he had lost count of the number of chains he had changed.

That's right, he felt guilty, he owed her so much, and their relationship became like a one-sided effort from G41, and she shared a lot of everything that he had originally bought.

He had to do something to at least make his thoughts clear to her. Asking directly will definitely not work, and he will definitely get the same answer as always - saying that it is good to be there for him.

Patrick had to think for himself and take the initiative because that's what he wanted to do.

"Mommy, look," the little girl in front of her suddenly pointed to the window on the left, "this dress is so beautiful!"

The little girl's mother turned her head, and Patrick saw her delicate face. It's a normal humanoid.

"Well, yes," replied the humanoid mother with a smile, crouching down and touching her daughter's head, "Your mother wears a dress like that, too." ”

"Really, wow, it must be beautiful! Mom, I want to try it too. ”

"You'll wear it in the future, and when you have someone you really like, you'll definitely wear it. ”

Patrick watched the mother and daughter walk away and passed the shop window in silence.

In the evening, when the appointed time came, Patrick came to the outside of the stadium and stood across the street waiting. The slow flow of people was full of people, but Patrick recognized G41 at a glance.

"It's the master!" G41 apparently saw him as well, waving at him, "Goodbye then!"

Saying goodbye to her friend, G41 hurried to Patrick's side.

"Good evening, master!"

"Well, good evening. ”

"Thank you for coming to pick me up. G41 smiled.

"No, it's nothing......," Patrick shrugged his shoulders, seeming uncomfortable.

"I had so much fun today, I went to the ...... at noon," G41 began to recount the experience of today's visit.

Patrick was silent, his hands in his jacket pockets, his hooded head bowed, his eyes looking to the ground.

"Wedding ......"

"What?"

"What do you think?"

"Huh?"

"I want to ...... We should have one. You see, after so many years, we still stand still like this, and it's rare to have such time...... Of course we haven't changed much, I mean......"

He turned his head to look at G41, who was already crying.

"There's no need to cry like this. ”

"Because...... Because ......"

"Alright," Patrick stroked G41's head and looked back to the floor, "you look forward to it." ”

"Hmm!"
