“…… Prominent news commentators recently questioned the Alliance's 2178 defense budget, and some radicals even said that the Alliance Congress was destroying the Great Wall, especially in the northeastern United States, cutting the budget of troops stationed in the northeastern region, and shutting down military bases has sparked a lot of criticism. On the other hand, conservative lawmakers said that the additional budget cut will be used to promote scientific and technological research and development, improve the quality of armaments, and increase agricultural output, further reducing the price of agricultural products......"

"Hungry, boss? I took the time to bake a little biscuit in the afternoon. ”

"Isn't it too confusing for me to say I'm not hungry?" Ling Yu smiled lightly, then turned around and asked Jiesi to come in, and he walked to the desk and turned on the computer that had been dormant.

"I'll eat it myself if I'm not hungry, anyway, the ingredients are all used at home." Jess walked into the room, closed the door gently, and as she spoke, she pulled out a palm-sized disc and snapped it on the door with her backhand - Ling Yu recognized it as an anti-listening device that could detect if there were any unnatural radio waves transmitting and alarm.

"Did Helis sleep?" Ling Yu glanced at the anti-monitoring device and frowned, this was obviously used against Helis's ubiquitous brainwaves.

"I think I'm already asleep, but it's okay if I don't." Jeunese shook her head slightly, because Helis's room had not been completely renovated, so Jeunese volunteered to carry Helis into her room after the meal, Ling Yu originally wanted to ask Helis her opinion, but seeing that the little white cat was not struggling, she didn't ask any more.

"Let me guess where you came from." Ling Yu clasped his hands in front of his chest. Leaning against his desk, "You're going to call me to the space station again, right?" ”

"How does it feel to beat TF No. 3 alone, boss?" The girl walked straight to Ling Yu's bedside, jumped on tiptoe, sat on the high bed, and opened the lunch box in her hand, "You really don't want to eat?" Everyone ate it. ”

"Strength is such a thing...... What a sweet poison. Ling Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Raise your hand to catch the biscuit that Jesse tossed. The young man spread out his palm and saw that it was a strange red panda, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and immediately put it in his mouth. "Am I going to say goodbye to a peaceful life forever?"

"There's too much sugar. Inverted teeth. "Immediately after. Ling Yu made a comment, the biscuit was obviously too much sugar, and it was so sweet that it was bitter.

"Life is already hard. Eat something sweet, of course. Jesse tilted her head and smiled, then continued.

"Actually, you don't plan to live a peaceful life at all," Jess gently bit the biscuit in half, and then swallowed the half of the piece in her mouth, "You're just pretending to be decadent, pretending to be modest, since you're not an actor, why are you acting so hard." ”

"My life creed has been denied by your words." Ling Yu chewed on the biscuit and said it, but he didn't really mean to blame, "You know myself better than I do?" ”

"Don't make a fuss, boss, if you have a reason, I can give you as much as you want." Jiesi shook her hand, smiled and threw another cookie to Ling Yu, "For example, it is strong enough to sweep the entire knight order, so that you can marry a knight like me who is beautiful and capable." ”

Is it another Jeunse-style joke, Ling Yu chose to be silent a little noncommittally, and for a moment, he even wanted to imitate the playboy downstairs and give an affirmative answer, but after a few seconds of hesitation, he was still unable to say it in the end.

"It's the first time I've known that the Knights are engaged in a martial arts competition?" Ling Yu raised his hand and combed his hair, revealing a wry smile that he didn't know if it was for Jesse or for himself, "But I'd better forget it, it's too rash to think about it." ”

"Alas~ anyway, my boss can't be so empathetic." Jesse pretended to sigh deeply and continued to slowly eat the cookies she baked.

"Let's focus on the things to be solved right now," Ling Yu looked at the biscuit in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then changed the subject, "Even if you don't come to me, I'll go to you, I plan to go to the space station tomorrow to see if there's anything I can get." ”

"Even if strength is a sweet poison, would you rather drown in it?" A slight hint of meaning suddenly flashed in Jessy's smile, but after a fleeting incongruity, the girl returned to normal, "But there's nothing wrong with it, even if it's drowning, it's better than watching the people around you get taken away because of their powerlessness." ”

"Hey, hey, why did you suddenly flip the roles." Ling Yu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Shouldn't that be my line?" ”

"Oh, so boss, you don't understand people's hearts! A girl like me in her prime occasionally has a literary side! Jiesi shook her hand and threw a biscuit again, but Ling Yu could tell from the feeling that Jiesi grabbed something as a weapon this time, and kept an embarrassed smile and looked at the poor panda in the palm of her hand, Ling Yu still stuffed it into her mouth.

"Forget it, it's good if you're happy." Ling Yu clapped his hands, then took out a tissue from the desk and wiped his hands, "But to be honest, it's true that it feels good to be a hero, whether it's from the perspective of personal vanity, sense of justice, or revenge...... I like the way it feels now. ”

"Human nature is like this, there is no right or wrong, people are the product of nature, and nature is destined to have the side of the jungle," Jiesi also became stern, holding the panda biscuit in her hand, but staring at the floor and not knowing what she was thinking, "However, people and animals are different." ”

"I'm glad, boss," Jiesi turned her head and suddenly smiled at Ling Yu, "at least you recognize my Jian Yì and use your power in the right direction." ”

"I'm just indulging in self-satisfaction, don't hold me so high, I'm not born to be a savior." Ling Yu smiled and shook his hand, "I'll be complacent if I say that." ”

"Hey, I had an idea." Jess snapped her fingers suddenly, but then narrowed her eyes, "But I won't tell you now." I'm waiting to surprise you. ”

"If only you were happy." Ling Yu looked at Jiesi, who was snickering like a little girl, shrugged her shoulders, walked to the window in front of the window, and her eyes stayed on the street lamp outside the window.

"Then I'll come to you tomorrow afternoon." Jiesi jumped off the bed, walked to Ling Yu's side, and stuffed the biscuit box in her hand into Ling Yu's hand, "Eat the rest obediently, I'll check it tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay." Ling Yu did not refuse this time, but took the biscuit box and nodded with a smile.

"That's right. About the mystery. I'll send it back to the Order to fix it, you may not get it tomorrow," Jesse walked to the door, then turned around as if she remembered something. "No."

"It doesn't matter. This matter is still bothering you. Ling Yu made an OK gesture. Gesture that there is no problem, "Thank you." ”

"It's too outward, I really don't understand people's hearts." Jesse stuck out her tongue. Smile and open the door.

"Jesse."

Just as the girl opened the door, Ling Yu looked at the biscuit box in her hand and suddenly stopped the girl.

"Huh?"

"Hmm...... I mean. Ling Yu's tone suddenly tangled, but this entanglement didn't last long, and it turned into an inexplicable line.

"I mean, if, not so rashly...... I'll probably give it a try. ”

Oh my God, what am I talking about, Ling Yu took a step back the moment he said this, as if it was a loaded cannonball with huge recoil, but the moment he said it, the young man regretted it-Can Jiesi really understand this sentence? No, worse than this, will this sentence be misinterpreted?

"Poof—"

Jeunsy was also stunned for a moment, and then suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, and the girl waved her hand lightly, and it was easy to stop laughing.

"What the boss wants to say, I already understand." Jesse stretched out her hand and poked her chest, "I really understand, I didn't misinterpret it." ”

"Good night!"

With that, Jesse made a playful grimace and closed the door.

"Ling Yu...... Are you insane? ”

Ling Yu, who was alone with a box of biscuits, froze in place, his mind echoing with Jessy's reassuring words—even though he himself felt inexplicable.

Language seems to have failed completely, but feelings seem to have arrived.

Are you sure?

Ling Yu walked to the window, took out a biscuit, and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's so sweet, so sweet that it's inverted.

But it doesn't seem unpleasant.

"Huh?!"

The next morning, Logan, who was wearing a riotous pink shirt, held a coffee and looked at Ling Yu, who was pretending to be holding a copy of the Alliance Morning Report, and cried out in surprise.

"You sue me and I ran to your room in your underwear in the middle of the night, and then you two didn't do anything?" Logan looked around for a moment to make sure Jess wasn't nearby, then lowered his voice and said to Ling Yu, "Are you an idiot?" ”

"What is underwear...... the corners of Ling Yu's eyes twitched, and he unconsciously cocked Erlang's legs - this action made Logan subconsciously tighten his legs, obviously yesterday's kick still made him unforgettable.

"Ling Yu, are you frigid?" Logan slapped his head, and his expression was as sorry as Ling Yu flushed a five-million lottery ticket down the toilet, "Or are you really Lolitacon?" ”

"As a taxpayer, I wouldn't mind calling an ambulance again." Ling Yu flipped the page of the newspaper lightly, but in fact, he didn't read a word.

"Okay, let's not talk about children," Logan subconsciously blocked his hands in front of him, then cleared his throat and posed as a life coach, "I know, you haven't been in a relationship, so I feel the need to give you some life experience as an elder." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're a few months younger than me." Ling Yu closed the newspaper, picked up the garlic-soaked coffee on the table, and shook it to his lips.

"It doesn't matter!" Rogan shook his hand, and this action reminded him of Hitler in his unemotional speech, "The important thing is that what she means to you is already obvious, how can you be indifferent?" ”

"It's not a matter of indifference...... Ling Yu was silent for a moment, and finally began to answer Logan's question seriously, "It's just that the time hasn't come yet, I don't think I know myself yet...... Whether or not this is the time to discuss this issue? ”

"Life is too short to be happy." Rogan stretched out his hand and patted Ling Yu on the shoulder, "I know what you're worried about, the deeper we go, the more danger we face, but you don't want to be a virgin when you die, right?" ”

"You slept with so many women, and the probability of survival is not necessarily much higher than mine." Ling Yu ignored Logan and calmly blew on his coffee.

"Forget it, the chicken speaks to the duck." Logan let out a long sigh, finally gave up persuasion, picked up the milk on his table, drank it all, took out a piece of paper, and wiped his mouth, "Take care of it yourself, I can accept free consultation at any time if you have any questions." ”

"I haven't asked you yet, you are dressed so flamboyantly, and your little sister has asked you out today?" Ling Yu turned his head and looked at Luo Gen who opened the shoe cabinet and picked out leather shoes.

"Unlike you, I'm using my life to experience the greatest human emotion! Strangers and strangers open their hearts and embrace each other, this is the source of human evolution. ”

"You're just sowing seeds."

"Without love, the seed withers." Rogan stretched out his fingers and shook them disdainfully, then walked over to Ling Yu and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"In short, don't keep the family waiting too long, you'll regret it."

After saying this, Logan walked out of the room humming the Marseillaise.

"I have my own measure...... Should. ”

It wasn't until Logan closed the door that Ling Yu complained softly.

But only Ling Yu himself knew that in addition to the excuses used to perfunctory others, the uneasiness that came from the deepest part of his heart was the root of Yiqiē.

Jeunse, what are you trying to hide behind your smile?

You know what I'm really worried about. (To be continued......)
