Chapter 22: Make a Friend
"Not necessarily." Xiao Qi said.
"Why" Xiao Qi let out a somewhat meaningful laugh and said in a low voice,
"I saved your life tonight, you shouldn't be so white-eyed that you turn around and forget about me."
"Of course not, when I get to the house in a while, I will personally ask my uncle and aunt for guilt." Speaking of this, Ji Ran's footsteps suddenly slowed down, and he hesitated a little,
"What was in your mind at the time, such a dangerous situation, how to say jump and jump." Xiao Qi thought about it,
"I guess I didn't think anything of it."
"I didn't think about anything" Ji Ran said incredulously,
"Do you always do things like this, but you don't have a brain" Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and his voice rushed up,
"You just thank me for not having a brain at the time, but if I had a brain, I wouldn't have jumped into the river tonight, the water is so urgent, it's night, do I think I have a long life" Ji Ran's throat moved: "I didn't mean that"
"So what do you mean?"
"I'm sorry." Xiao Qi originally thought that Ji Ran would have to pout like before, but in a flash, his mind was already full of ammunition for the verbal battle, but he didn't expect Ji Ran to surrender when he came up.
The anger that rushed up couldn't be extinguished for a while, Xiao Qi took a deep breath hard, and the two hands on Ji Ran's shoulders were still silently clenched into fists.
"I didn't mean to belittle you," Ji Ran looked at the road ahead and explained thoughtfully,
"I just can't think of it" Speaking of this, Ji Ran was silent for a while, but swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.
The sound of the rain was ticking and began to gradually become smaller, but Xiao Qi's umbrella was still firmly propped above the heads of the two.
Along the way, there were countless officers and soldiers rushing to Luoshui with their lights, and the cavalry who opened the way did not recognize Ji Ran and Xiao Qi who had changed their clothes, and scolded them several times to pull aside and not get in the way.
"Why are there so many soldiers?" Xiao Qi's eyes followed the officers and soldiers who passed by them,
"Is there anything big going on in the city tonight?"
"I don't know." Ji Ran shook his arm,
"Regardless of them, we'll go ours." Xiao Qi looked back with some concern, until the group of soldiers disappeared around the corner of the road.
"By the way," Ji Ran asked again,
"Why does Miss Seven want to go to the Demon Leveling Bureau?"
"No, I just like it."
"What do you like?"
"I like that kind of adventurous and wanton way of living." Xiao Qi replied.
"You know what the Ping Demon Department usually does, right?"
"Of course." Xiao Qi nodded, she has been by Feng Yishu's side in the past few years, and she has been more or less familiar with everything in the Ping Demon Agency.
Ji Ran hummed softly,
"That's weird." Xiao Qi glanced at Ji Ran vigilantly, feeling that he was going to say something tyrannical.
"Where's the Weird"
"It's kind of strange to like something you're not good at." Ji Ran said softly,
"I can understand this kind of thinking about what kind of person and what kind of thing I want to do, but if I don't even enter the door, how can I talk about liking" Xiao Qiyi fell silent for a while.
On this topic, she had also talked to Feng Yan before about whether they came to this world, whether there was anything that had to be done, whether there was a mission to give up on me, what to become in this life, and what to accomplish Such a grand topic, occasionally makes people feel that the bandwidth of their heads is a little insufficient.
Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't answer, Ji Ran asked again,
"Then when did you want to enter the Ping Demon Bureau," Xiao Qi muttered,
"It's not been long since I got here."
"That was last winter"
"Ahh Xiao Qi suddenly realized that he had just said something terrible, but it seemed that Ji Ran understood this sentence as when they moved their family to Luoyang,
"Hey, no, don't ask."
"You don't want to say it"
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I can't say it clearly," Xiao Qi said in a low voice,
"I didn't really think about what kind of person I wanted to be."
"Why"
"Because this question is too extravagant." Xiao Qi replied softly,
"Many people feel that they are the chosen ones when they are young, but when they are a little older, they know that in fact, where do people have choices, there are too many people in the world, everyone is buried in their own grids, just relying on work to live decently is something that can only be done with all their might, where there is leisure, there is energy to talk about ideals." Ji Ran glanced at the girl on his back with some confusion.
What is she talking about, if the seventh young lady of the Feng family has to do her best to survive, then most of the people in Luoyang City will probably be cut off.
"I used to be very envious of a group of people," Xiao Qi thought for a long time, but couldn't find the right words,
"It's the kind of person whose job requires diving into rainforests, deserts, polar regions, rarely visited karst caves and volcanoes, and so on, to collect materials and conduct research." Ji Ran thought about it,
"It's like the work done by the Museum of the Ping Demon Department"
"Yes, Naturalist," Xiao Qi nodded repeatedly,
"What I used to aspire to was this kind of ungrounded job, and if you had to beware of death all the time, it would probably make people more aware of the fact that they were alive, but it's just a thought.
"But it's different now," Xiao Qi said softly,
"Not only do my parents not need me to support the elderly, it is not a problem to raise me for the rest of my life, I was born in Feng Mansion, I don't have anything I want, I can't contact anyone I want, plus there are so many brothers and sisters above me, one is more powerful than the other, and I don't have the slightest pressure to make a name for the family in such a place, if I still want to seek stability, what work to do in Si Tiantai to measure the stars, is it a waste or not, do you not know how to cherish it" Ji Ran laughed and did not answer.
The two walked forward in silence for a long time, and Xiao Qi suddenly spoke with some hindsight,
"Ah, I want to thank you."
"How"
"I've been thinking about that question for a long time, but I feel like I'm thinking about it when I talk about it today."
"No thanks," Ji Ran replied,
"I'm just curious." Xiao Qi looked at Ji Ran seriously for a while.
"Sometimes I think you and my fifth brother are alike." Ji Ran's expression froze subtly for a moment, and his left eyebrow was slightly raised,
"Where is it like"
"You're all the kind of people who don't point out the wrong path to a lost child," Xiao Qi said softly,
"It's someone who doesn't kill people and set fires even if they become powerful.
"Not only do they have a dishonest and sincere temper, but they are also very annoying when they are not familiar, but in fact, they are honest and will be very reliable partners."
"Thank you."
"I also want to tell you that you don't have to worry about being overwhelmed by the crowd and no one remembers. Every year, so many champions ride white horses from Yingtianmen, and there are not a few people who are remembered in the end, and you are the only one who can be fished up by me from the Luo River, and I will definitely not forget you. Xiao Qi stretched out his right hand towards Ji Ran.
"Make friends with your savior"
