Chapter 57: Confiding

"Alex, don't say any more." Laura frowned slightly, "I've always considered you a reliable friend, you know. ”

"yes, just friends." Alex smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth.

Su Bai frowned, stretched out again, stretched out his hand and gently put it on Laura's shoulder, and said to the girl who turned her head, "Let him say it." ”

There are some things that are better to be made clear. And he could feel that Alex didn't just seem to want to pour out his feelings, but more importantly, he wanted to end something with his own hands.

Hearing Su Bai's words, Laura's eyes showed a look of bewilderment: "Su, Alex and I are just ......"

"Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand anything." Su Bai smiled softly and stroked the girl's face, "I'm not stingy to that extent." Since Alex wants to make something clear, let him say it. I'm sure he knows exactly what he's doing and knows what he's supposed to do. ”

Seeing Laura's performance, Alex's eyes showed a look of loss, and a certain thought in his heart was completely annihilated. Immediately, he glanced at Su Bai gratefully and said, "Thank you, Su." ”

Su Bai stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Don't thank me, in a sense, we can barely be regarded as rivals in love." So, just this once, just say what you have to say. ”

"I swear, it's the first and last time." Alex nodded, took a deep breath, looked at Laura, and said after a moment of silence, "You know, Laura, I've always wanted to be on par with you since I first met you. You're smart, you're very skilled, and most importantly, you're always able to pull off the impossible. ”

"Everything you show is like a natural protagonist, always able to attract everyone's attention and be everyone's savior when it counts. And me? I'm just an ordinary young man with a little bit of electronics, and nothing else. No one else will ever notice me. ”

"Alex, don't say that......"

"Listen to me, Laura." Alex interrupted Laura and continued, "I know that if you haven't noticed me before, you won't notice me now and in the future. Especially after Sue appeared in front of us. So, I've always wanted to do something to get your attention. ”

"In fact, I have to admit that when I came here, I was actually very scared. I've been telling some indecent jokes just to hide the uneasiness in my heart. Even this time, I guessed that I might be in some danger, but I also knew that this might be my last chance. So I decided to take one last gamble, fantasizing that I could make it. ”

"It gave me a slap in the face, and I messed things up again, and even dragged you down because of it. Maybe it will become a burden to the team later. Speaking of this, Alex smiled bitterly, "Now I understand, I really can't be the protagonist at all, and I don't deserve you at all." Even if I succeed this time, I will never be able to win your favor. ”

Laura was silent, not knowing what to say.

Su Bai listened, and sighed in his heart.

In the game, Alex chose to die with the Solarians in the wreckage of the Forbearance in order not to drag Laura down. Even so, Laura didn't like him. It's a truly tragic character.

And now that he has appeared and won Laura's love, Alex has no chance.

But he saved him, at least he had the opportunity to find another girl who suited him and have a real relationship.

Alex looked at Su Bai again and said, "I have to admit that I am far inferior to you in any aspect. I think it must be the same in everyone's eyes, you are a natural couple. Now even I think so. ”

"Alex, don't say any more." Laura sighed and said, "I hope you stop thinking about it, we should be thinking about how to get out of here now." ”

"I know, Laura." Alex nodded, "This incident has brought me to my senses. So I said everything so that I didn't have to hold on to thoughts that I shouldn't have later, and I could put all my energy into running for my life. ”

He looked at Su Bai and said sincerely, "Su, I hope you don't mind what I said. ”

"Of course." Su Bai smiled slightly, "I can understand your feelings." ”

Alex was never a threat to him, and Laura never had any feelings for him that went beyond being a friend. He already has Laura's love, so there's no need to be so stingy anymore.

Alex let out a long sigh and said, "In the end, I know I may not be qualified to say this, but I want you to protect Laura and get out of here with her." This is my plea to you as a crew member of the Perseverance. ”

"You know, if you don't say I'll do that." Su Bai restrained the smile on his face and said solemnly, "And it's not just me and Laura, all of us will escape from here." ”

Alex nodded, leaned on the side of the boat and slowly closed his eyes: "I think I need to take a break, and I'll leave the rest of the journey to you......"

His voice faded to a slight snoring.

Laura glanced at Alex with a somewhat complicated gaze and sighed softly.

"Don't think about it, Laura." Su Bai said.

"I know. It's just that...... I never thought that Alex had been thinking about this all along. Laura shook her head and said softly, "I don't know what he thinks." This island is so dangerous, and yet he still does such a reckless thing. ”

"Everything he does is his own choice." Su Bai said, "Maybe in his heart, it's all worth it." ”

He paused and smiled, "If it were me, I might have done the same thing for you." ”

"Nope." Laura said immediately.

Her brown eyes stared at Su Bai, and she said solemnly, "I never want to see you do such a thing." ”

Su Bai smiled gently, "You deserve anything I risk my life, Laura." ”

"But I never want you to risk your life to do anything for me." Laura said, with a firm tone in her tone, "I can't afford to lose you, whatever it is. ”

"Promise me, Sue." The girl looked at Su Bai with pleading in her eyes, "Never let me bear the pain of losing you." I couldn't have lived alone without you. ”
