Wu Di raised his hand to wipe the wine off his face and looked at Lu Yang with contempt.
"Ahem, sorry! I'm old and my heart isn't very good. I can't stand hearing such stimulating words."
Lu Yang explained awkwardly.
Shen Qiu looked a little unnatural at this moment. He didn't expect Bai Mucheng to actually tell this matter.
Fortunately, Wu Di invited him at this time.
"Vice President Bai, it's rare for you to come over, how about sitting down and eating together?"
"No, I've already had dinner. I came here to talk to Shen Qiu about something. I wonder if I can ask him to come and talk with me for a moment."
Bai Mucheng said lightly.
"No problem, Shen Qiu, go quickly."
Wu Di agreed immediately and urged Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu immediately stood up and spoke to Wu Di and Lu Yang.
"Then you guys eat first. I'll be gone for a while."
Then Shen Qiu and Bai Mucheng walked towards the ground together.
Along the way, the two of them walked quietly without saying a word.
Under the night sky, on the ground of the city of Enodian, bright stars twinkled, illuminating this ruined city.
A breeze blew in, ruffling Bai Mucheng's hair.
At this time, she spoke lightly, breaking the silent atmosphere.
"It's been a long time since we last met."
"Not that long, just a few years. In fact, I've always wanted to find a chance to meet you again and ask you some questions."
Shen Qiu replied with a little melancholy.
"You haven't let it go yet?"
Bai Mucheng said to Shen Qiu with a slight movement of his eyes.
"What is letting go? Youth is beautiful because it exists deep in our memories and can never be erased. In fact, I have sometimes thought about this question: is a short period of companionship a punishment or a reward? Later, I thought about it for a long time and perhaps not being greedy is the reward."
Shen Qiu replied thoughtfully.
Bai Mucheng did not answer Shen Qiu for a long time, but just walked forward quietly.
Shen Qiu stayed quietly by his side.
After a long time, Bai Mucheng stopped, looked at the starry sky and spoke.
"Shen Qiu, have you ever heard this sentence? When a person is born, he comes from nothing, and when he leaves, he returns to the world called nothing. There is not only one main line in a person's life, and the line of destiny is not predetermined by heaven. There are many things we can pursue, and there are many and long roads we can take. Everyone's choices are different. It may be to enjoy life and rely on the sunset, it may be to fight on the battlefield and spend a lifetime in the army, it may be to travel the world and witness this beautiful world, or it may be to rescue the struggling people and become a hero that everyone is paying attention to. These roads are like countless branches, and our lives are woven together by countless branches. I used to be confused and escaped, but when I decided to embark on the supreme road to the top, I knew that there would be no result between us, and this is why I left without saying goodbye."
Shen Qiu was silent for a long time after hearing this. After a long time, he took a deep breath. He didn't know why he felt unprecedentedly relaxed at this moment.
"I see."
"Thank you."
Bai Mucheng said to Shen Qiu sincerely.
Shen Qiu shook his head slightly and said lightly.
"No need to thank them. No one owes anyone anything."
When Bai Mucheng heard this, her eyes revealed a subtle fluctuation. She put her hands behind her back, quietly feeling the cool breeze, as if to calm her restless heart.
The two of them just stood there quietly, and no one spoke again.
At this time, Shen Qiu's pocket squirmed, and Angie curiously poked out his little head, but was quickly pushed back by Shen Qiu.
After a long time, Bai Mucheng slowly turned her head and looked at Shen Qiu.
"Shen Qiu, you have changed during the time I was away."
"Is there?"
Shen Qiu was also stunned and replied.
"Yes, you have become more cheerful."
Bai Mucheng said lightly. You know, in Bai Mucheng's memory, Shen Qiu had a dead face every day, as if someone owed him hundreds of millions.
“Have I changed?”
Shen Qiu murmured, and his mind couldn't help but recall Yun Xiaoxi and her laughter.
Bai Mucheng looked at Shen Qiu who looked a little absent-minded, and felt a little melancholy in her heart.
"who is she?"
"Eh? Which one are you talking about?"
Shen Qiu immediately came back to his senses and replied casually.
"… "
Bai Mucheng was speechless for a moment.
"Hehe, don't let your imagination run wild! It's not what you think."
Shen Qiu felt that something was wrong and explained.
At this time, Bai Mucheng also had a gloomy face. He turned around and walked towards Shen Qiu step by step.
At this moment, Shen Qiu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, fearing that Bai Mucheng would draw his sword and chop him to death.
Just as Bai Mucheng walked in front of Shen Qiu, she took out a box and handed it over.
"This is for you."
Shen Qiu was slightly stunned, then heaved a sigh of relief.
"For me?"
"Um!"
Bai Mucheng nodded in response.
Seeing this, Shen Qiu quickly reached out, took it, opened the box and took a look.
Inside the box was a blood-red metallic diamond gene module, which was dropped by Yumtan after his death.
After looking at the module, Shen Qiu closed the box and handed it back to Bai Mucheng.
"No need to give it to me. Wu Di has already given me many thunder gene modules."
"Take it, you deserve it."
Bai Mucheng replied calmly.
"Is this what you mean, or what the Council means?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"What's the difference? I am a representative of the parliament."
Bai Mucheng explained calmly.
"No, if you act first and report later, will there be no problem with the parliament later?"
"Don't worry about that. I have already written the application report and will submit it to the parliament soon. Besides, you may have misunderstood something."
"What did I misunderstand?"
"Let me explain it to you briefly. This diamond-grade atomic module of P5 purity is not important to the Council at all. The Council doesn't even care who gets it. Even if the Council recovers it, it will only reward it to someone who has made a contribution. Things that improve the combat power of a single unit have never been favored by the Council. What the Council wants is something that can benefit everyone! Such as the Star Accumulation Controlled Nuclear Fusion Device and the Star Shield Barrier."
Bai Mucheng explained to Shen Qiu calmly.
"All right."
When Shen Qiu heard Bai Mucheng say this, he took the things without saying anything.
Bai Mucheng nodded slightly and then said to Shen Qiu.
"Well, I won't disturb your party then. I have things to do, so I'll leave first."
"good."
Shen Qiu nodded.
Bai Mucheng then turned and left.
Shen Qiu stood there and watched Bai Mucheng leave, feeling a little melancholy. Sometimes being too conscious is not necessarily a good thing.
"Alas~"
Then Shen Qiu returned to the underground city and walked towards Wu Di and the others.
