Chapter Seventy-Two: Night Talk
As night fell, Iron Furnace Island returned to its former tranquility, as calm as before a storm, and a dull and oppressive smell filled the air.
Inside the tent, sweet potatoes and glasses and clothes to sleep.
The two of them had a large pillow, each facing sideways.
It was dark inside the tent, and Suning had just extinguished the bonfire outside. The sound of even breathing was inaudible, and the sweet potato rolled over and pulled down the coarse cloth long-sleeved overalls that covered his body.
"Glasses, can I ask you a question?" He opened his mouth to break the silence, his face unclear in the darkness.
The glasses twisted their bodies, changed their postures, and there was a sense of exhaustion in their words, and said:
"If there's nothing important, can you ask tomorrow? I'm tired. ”
"Oh," Sweet Potato seemed a little disappointed, but couldn't help but ask, "Just a few minutes, don't delay things." ”
There was even a hint of pleading in the voice.
"Uh......" The glasses were a little confused, the eyelids were heavy, and he cheered up and said in a daze: "Then you ask." ”
In the consciousness of the glasses, it seems that it has been a long time before I hear the sound of sweet potatoes, which is very ethereal, as if it is coming from a long distance.
"Do you think friendship is more precious in this world, or is money more precious?"
"Of course, it's friendship." The unconsciously replied of the glasses mouth, without going through the brain.
"Oh, is that so?" Sweet potatoes seem to be questioning, and like rhetorical questions.
"So, how does it compare to family affection?" Sweet potato then asked.
"It should be...... Family affection. Glasses replied in a daze, if it was in a waking moment, he would definitely pay attention to the underlying motives of Sweet Potato for asking these two questions, but now he was very sleepy, and he didn't know exactly what he was talking about.
"Oh, that's it." Sweet potato replied a lot more affirmatively this time.
"If, I mean, you had to choose between friendship and affection, and you could only choose one thing, it was you, what would you do?" Sweet Potato's voice was full of self-deprecation, and the last few words were not so much a question as a murmur.
The consciousness of the glasses was completely blurred, and he only remembered that Sweet Potato seemed to have asked him some questions, and he slurred words in his mouth:
"I don't know...... I'll talk about it tomorrow......"
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Sweet potato turned over slightly, lay on his back, and looked up at the top of the tent, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for tomorrow." He muttered to himself.

At the same time, in Chen Jing and Chen Shu's tent, Chen Jing sighed faintly.
"How long has it been since we've slept together like we did today?"
Chen Shu leaned sideways, did not reply, and did not move, as if she was asleep.
Chen Jing then said to herself:
"I think when I was five years old, in the first grade of elementary school, you never shared a room with me again."
Chen Shu still didn't speak, just buried her head deep in her work clothes, as if in this way, she didn't have to hear Chen Jing's voice anymore.
"It seems that since then, you have never opened your mouth to call me sister." Chen Jing was talking to herself as if no one was talking to herself, and she couldn't hear any emotion.
"Sister?!" Maybe this word hit Chen Shu somewhere in her heart, she was like a cat with her tail stepped on, suddenly lifted the work clothes covering her head, and sneered: "It's ridiculous, why should I call you sister?" ”
"What point do you have the consciousness of being a sister? Is it when you take a 100-point paper and accuse me of a 60-point test score?! Or when a good friend who threatens and mocks me is not worthy of associating with me? Or maybe you tore my favorite manga to shreds in front of my parents?! ”
"If that's all there is, I'm sorry, with all due respect, I don't need a sister like that."
After Chen Shu finished speaking, she covered her head again, got into the thick overalls and didn't speak.
Chen Jing was silent for a moment, and said faintly:
"Maybe my way is my dereliction of duty to mislead you."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Jing's voice gradually became serious.
"But what I want to say is that my starting point for doing these things is not wrong! You have to remember that we were born in the Chen family, so we are destined to be unable to do nothing for a lifetime! You expect to live like a normal girl, fall in love, work, get married, have children, absolutely impossible! ”
"You have to be soberly aware of this! In fact, not only you, but I also fantasized about a simple life, but fantasy is always fantasy, and people should always face reality! ”
"Instead of letting you immerse yourself in fantasy and can't extricate yourself, it's better for me to shatter your dreams early, face reality early, and be good to you, to me, and to everyone!"
Before the words fell, Chen Shu suddenly turned around, only her silhouette could be seen in the darkness, and she said contemptuously:
"You just want to train me to be the second Chen Jing!"
Chen Shu sneered mercilessly, "Don't dream, do you think everyone thinks the same as you?!" Cold-blooded, insidious, black-bellied, with no one in sight! ”
Chen Shu's words were like a sharp knife piercing Chen Jing's heart, and she couldn't hear the following words, she only heard one sentence, "You just want to train me to be the second Chen Jing!" ”
The outlook on life she has always insisted on was a little shaken in an instant.
Is that so?! Could it be that he used to strictly ask Chen Shu, choose a friend for her, and tell her what to do and what not to do, just to make her a second self? !
Are you really that narrow-minded?!
No! Never!
I am well-intentioned and responsible, what's wrong with the second Chen Jing?! Wisdom, maturity, and knowledge are not what every woman constantly pursues?!
Yes! I didn't do it right. It's just that the mind is immature, and you can't understand the deeper meaning of life!
Chen Jing no longer doubted, but strengthened her beliefs.
She calmly said:
"Chen Shu, you are my sister, you don't understand it yet, but one day you will understand everything I have done. Hopefully, this day doesn't come too late. ”
Chen Shu turned over; Snorted coldly and scoffed.
Chen Jing closed her eyes and stopped talking, no one knew what she was thinking.
There was silence in the tent again.
Among the branches outside the tent, Suning, who was sleeping, sighed softly and changed his position.
