late at night

Ji Qi lay on his bed, the moonlight like snow illuminating his slightly flushed face, his excited eyes staring intently at the wooden ceiling above his head, without the slightest look of tiredness.

It was midnight and there was silence all around, except for the faint chirping of insects and frogs from afar. According to the usual schedule and rest time, Jiqi had already fallen asleep and competed with Zhou Gong in chess. But now it is different from the past, tossing and turning in bed for several hours, but there is no sleepiness at all, even the sheep are almost fainted by his name, and they still can't fall asleep. And the culprit of all this is Lexington, the Sudaji who disturbed the morale of the army.

I talked to her all night, and in the end she sent herself to the door, thinking that this was the end. But how could the fox demon, who had finally found the scholar, stop there, a sudden kiss was like a bomb sent by a terrorist, blowing up the prayer schedule, and not even a little residue could be recovered.

When he entered the room and closed the door, his head was dizzy, as if he was floating in the clouds. He had never imagined what a girl's mouth tasted like, but now he knew that it was as sweet and soft as a marshmallow.

Lying on the bed, his mind was full of Lexington's look back and smile, and the way she hugged and kissed him lightly as she left. Her cherry-colored lips lit herself up like a fuse, and she couldn't contain her excitement. Jiqi touched his mouth stupidly, reminiscing about the taste at that time, and the familiar scenes of the plot were replayed countless times in his mind, like a parrot eating a poppy, screaming all the time, and couldn't control it.

This should be the first kiss, right? Jiqi asked himself in his heart, although he and Wales had established a so-called couple relationship, but except for holding hands and hugging, at most hugging and sleeping together, other than that, the couple should do nothing. It seems that the items of playing KISS and rolling the sheets have never appeared in the options between himself and Wales, even if the two are alone, they only hug and hug, and never exceed the rules. It's like a pure friendship, so clean that only a blank sheet of paper remains. However, this blank paper was impregnated with another color, and it was marked with a deeper imprint—Lexington. Like an unreasonable robber, she broke into her room, tied herself with that touch of green silk, forced herself to write a deed of sale that belonged to her, and took away her virginity that had been retained for many years. Jiqi smirked, he was not disgusted by the brutality of the bandits. Like a door, she was the first to kick it open, swagger in, and walk in as a victor. Like a witch who is above all living beings, holding an invincible sword in the world, crackling, she easily defeats her own defense line with one move, and points at the lamb to the slaughter who is trembling in the corner of the wall with a sharp sword, and laughs and says, you kid will be my person in the future, and you have no right to resist, so wait for the king's luck. And the only thing she can do under such obscenity is to nod her head in agreement to show her submission, sign the deed of sale in her hand, show her sovereignty, and watch her go.

As for why he was conquered like this, he couldn't even accept the other party's trick, and Jiqi didn't know the reason, he thought it might be because Lexington was the first person to sing a happy birthday song for him. Like a poor country girl who is favored by a powerful and domineering president, on the night when the fireworks explode, the president sang a song "Happy Birthday" in his deep and seductive voice, and then picked the girl's chin and said, are you willing to sign a lifelong contract with me?

Full marks for scenes, full marks for dialogue, even verbal actions and expressions are full marks, there is no confession scene that will refuse this full score, and neither will the girl. Cornered, she had no way out, the only thing she could do was to nod her head in agreement, and was roughly pulled into her arms by the president and kissed under the brilliant fireworks.

Under such a powerful attack, he has already fallen. Jiqi recalled the fragrance of jasmine on the girl's body, and quietly closed his eyes.

Deep-sea base

The massive structure, made of heavy steel plates, is anchored to the steep submarine mountain wall by thick pillars, hidden in water hundreds of meters deep. The shape of the building is hideous, like a beast with a bloody mouth, devouring all living beings in the deep sea.

The office in the center of the base is luxurious and large, with a huge bookcase on the top wall standing opposite the door, and an oversized solid wood desk in front of it. The long-haired girl stood in front of the window next to the bookcase, silently watching the scenery outside the window.

The view outside the tempered glass is no different from the starry sky at night. Strange underwater creatures are like twinkling stars, emitting their own glimmer of light in the dark world, bringing a glimmer of hope to the dead deep sea.

The girl stretched out her hand and touched the cold window, feeling the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of all things through the invisible barrier.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Atago?" The girl lying on the sofa couldn't stand it anymore, she raised her hand and gently knocked on the top of the wooden table next to her to make a crisp sound, to show her dissatisfaction, "As soon as you come back, you will be in a daze at the window, you haven't seen those strange things outside the window, what's so beautiful?" ”

Atago shook his head, stretched out his fingers, and took a hot breath, scribbling the words "love" neatly on the glass condensed by the mist. She asked curiously, "Yamato, do you believe in love?" ”

"Love?" The girl who heard the question sneered disdainfully, as if mocking. "The kind of faith that human beings can give their lives to? Sorry, I never believed in anything like that, and I didn't think it would exist. ”

"Then do you think the Admiral is willing to die for the ship's mother?" Atago turned and asked.

"Who would want to do such a stupid thing? Especially those admirals, one by one, they are like gold, and when the deep sea attacks, they wish they had two more legs. The fastest runner is them, in order to ensure their own safety, they do not hesitate to leave the ship mother for them to break the queen, because in their eyes, the ship mother is just a weapon that can be used, and if there is no reconstruction, it is no big deal. I've seen this kind of drama countless times, without exception. Yamato stood up, looked disgusted, and said contemptuously: "They are like hypocrites, wearing white holy clothes, and worshipping and believing in the gods in their hearts all day long, and they are extremely religious. And yet? In the face of the mob who broke into the temple and looted and looted, when it was their turn to give up their lives, one by one they huddled in the corner like a shrunken turtle and prayed for the protection of the gods. It's disgusting to look at their cowardly expressions. ”

"Do you believe that such an admiral exists?"

"How is that possible!" Yamato loudly denied Atago's opinion, "Facing the deep sea, facing Deadpool, those ordinary people can't run yet, where is the courage to turn back?" ”

"But I met it, and I met an admiral who was not afraid of death and regarded it as nothing." Atago said, "When he finally died, he said to me, 'Do you know what love is?' It's the kind of thing that can make people risky of their lives, and I really want to accompany my ship's mother to watch the sunrise and sunset, but I agreed, but I didn't. ”

Yamato was silent and didn't speak, not knowing how to take over the conversation, just staring at Atago's inky black pupils, shining like stars, with a light called emotion beating. She tilted her head to look out the window and took a deep breath, trying to calm her somewhat fluctuating heart.

"You don't believe there could be such a fool?" Atago asked. A series of questions made Yamato overwhelmed, she was like the opposite side of the debate, overwhelmed by the positive questioning, and retreated.

"And he died at the end?" Yamato sighed, conceded defeat, and did not continue to discuss with Atago the question of whether or not a fool existed.

"Indeed, when I killed him, just as I have killed countless admirals, mortal bodies cannot avoid death." She paused, "But the only difference is that I was injured and slashed by his final blow." ”

"Why did it hurt? You're not the kind of person who can be easily hit, especially when dealing with a human. ”

I don't know, I just look at his desperate and fierce eyes, which burn with blue light, like the last swan song of a man in adversity. I don't know why he has those eyes, or what he's fighting for. Atago breathed a sigh of relief, and then said quietly, "I was stunned, I was overwhelmed by his eyes, my previous memories were like an overwhelming tide coming at me, and I didn't know what I was supposed to do for a moment." ”

"Previous memories? Do you remember anything? "Yamato was a little nervous.

Atago shook his head and said with a smile, "No, it's just that when I come back, sometimes I think of an empty sea with endless rainstorms." And the starry sky at night, like the scene outside the window, is bright and changing, and there is no end to it. ”

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

"That's your memory of death." After being silent for a long time, Yamato muttered, sadness in his eyes. "Every shipwreck who falls into the deep sea has a past that is unbearable, and when you think of the past completely, you will only be full of hatred for the Admiral, like an old enemy. Instead of being so curious about a dead person as it is now. ”

"I used to be a ship's wife?" Atago grasped the key point, a little stunned.

"Otherwise, where do you think the name Atago came from? Kaohsiung No. 2 ship - Atago. ”

"Then how did I fall into the deep sea?"

"Who knows?" Yamato was a little impatient, and she was consumed by the other party's incessant questions. She didn't know why she was discussing the issue of the Admiral, and when she mentioned these two words, she couldn't help but think of the past, the sealed memory. Rainy nights, death, and blood kept coming to her mind like a cycle.

"It's possible that you jumped into the sea by yourself and wanted to go to the underwater world to find out, only to find that you couldn't swim, so you drowned in the sea and became a deep sea." Yamato opened her mouth and began to talk nonsense, she knew the answer, but she didn't want to answer, and she was helpless in the face of questioning.

She seemed to tell a big joke, the drowned ship's mother. But Atago didn't laugh, she looked at the girl with dodging eyes seriously, as if she was pressing, "The ship's mother can swim, and they can't sink to the bottom of the sea by themselves, you didn't tell the truth, you, you lied." ”

Yamato's lies were ruthlessly exposed, and it was somewhat embarrassing. Cornered, she did not answer, but hung her head and her voice was low, like an enraged beast. "You don't need to know this, you just need to know that you are the deep sea now! It's the natural enemy of the ship's mother! The only thing you can do is to follow my orders and destroy the shipwrecks and the sin-stained admirals! ”

"And I never believe in bullshit love! That kind of thing doesn't exist at all, and it can't be trusted! If you say it again, I'll kill you, without hesitation! She looked up and continued, her eyes as sharp as knives, as if a devouring tiger was about to jump out of it.

Atago nodded in understanding, and she didn't ask for any more reason, because she had already clearly sensed that Yamato was on the verge of an outburst. One more thing, she will really go out and kill people, stabbing herself in the heart without the slightest hesitation.

But she saw in those angry eyes the same thing as countless outcasts, bottomless...... Despair.
