A figure stood at the intersection, like a stone statue that could not move.
This place is relatively quiet late at night, and there is only one streetlight three to five meters away. After more than half an hour, only a few cars passed.
Xu Jingxin stared at a stone in front of him and counted the sound of rain hitting it.
Always starting from scratch because she couldn't count the number.
"You're looking for me?"
A sudden sound broke the silence.
Changfeng held an umbrella and ran over from the other end of the road and said: "The road in front of Honghu Martial Arts School is not paved with cement, and my pants are now full of sand. If possible, I hope I can choose a place closer next time. In addition, , the time can be earlier.”
Changfeng stopped one meter away from her. This place can be attacked or defended. Good.
But she looked at Xu Jingxin's appearance in the rain, wondering how long he had been standing here, and hesitated whether to share his umbrella with her.
Xu Jingxin moved and turned to look at her.
The eyes were too cold, and the other person's skin looked particularly pale in the night.
"Would you say it first or should I say it first?" Changfeng said, "Change the place?"
Xu Jingxin: "I know who you are, and you should also know who you are. Why do you come here, and what do you want to do?"
Changfeng pursed his lips and looked at her for a long time, and then said calmly: "I didn't know before, but I know now. I should be you, so who are you?"
She thought she could see the other party look furious, but she didn't.
Xu Jingxin laughed.
If she read it correctly, it should be a smile.
Under the dim streetlight, this soaked lady threw her head back and laughed silently. The rain flowed down her cheek, seeming to wash away countless pains.
Changfeng inexplicably read sadness and happiness on her face. It seems that after everything was shattered, I felt a little fearless and relieved.
Changfeng came closer.
It's a pity that Ye Yu can hide tears. She couldn't confirm.
"It's over." Xu Jingxin said vaguely, "Thank you... It's finally over..."
Changfeng took another step closer: "What did you say it's over?"
Her voice did not rise and fall, and was suppressed to a very low tone.
"The place you escaped from was filthy, smelly, oppressive, and bloody. The only thing filthier than that is my home."
Changfeng: "Where?"
"A desolate star where slaves live. A place that interstellar pirates control and occupy outside the borders of the Alliance."
Changfeng knows this kind of place. It may even be a "legal" place that some countries allow because of their interests. Existing in places that ordinary citizens cannot imagine.
"In the Alliance, slaves are a ridiculous existence, but there, they are real and realistic. My mother is a humble slave. I have been separated from her since I was born because she would teach me bad things. When I was young, she Because he wanted to snatch me away and offended my biological father, he was killed."
Xu Jingxin said: "You can run, but I can't for the rest of my life. What people can't choose is their own birth. We should accept social education... But I can't accept it. I want to have an ordinary father. He doesn't have to be strong, then He won't be cruel. If he doesn't have power, then he won't kill at will. It doesn't matter even if he is cowardly and incompetent, because I am such a coward and incompetent."

"I don't understand why I was born in such a bad environment. I hate my status, I hate death, I hate class. I am a mistake and can only hide in a corner timidly. I have no courage, and I am not cruel enough. There’s nothing to do but self-loathing.”
Changfeng listened to her whisper quietly.
"Then one day my father told me he could give me a new life and I would be free."
"I also know that my new father is Xu Ling, the God of War, and a hero. I can't control myself and choose to accept it."
"I thought this was the beginning of hope. I could leave. Maybe you can't understand my despicability, but I was really... so afraid of that place."
"There, I would think of my mother's death all the time, and then in my dreams I would become a person like my father."
Changfeng asked in a deep voice: "My disappearance at that time had nothing to do with you, right?"
"I don't know. You don't have to believe it, but I really didn't know at the time. If it had anything to do with us, I wouldn't have to wait for your father... Xu Ling to come back after you disappeared for several years before I came to replace you." Xu Jingxin said, "The person who sold you was Chu Hongwu. He thought that his father... Xu Ling was dead, and the official has issued his death certificate. If you were alive, he would take away his sister's property, so he sold you at a high price."
"At that time, rumors about the alliance were fierce, and my father helped me deal with the matter. I met Chu Hongwu. He told me that you were dead, and he was afraid of Xu Ling's revenge, so he asked me to pretend Xu Jingxin, plead for him. I think this is a rare blessing from fate and a blessing from my mother, so I agreed to play this role for him."
"I can undergo plastic surgery, abandon my name, and leave the father who loves me. I can do all I can to make myself look like Xu Ling's daughter."
"But you found out later." Changfeng said, "How did you find out?"
Xu Jing used his strength to swallow the rainwater in his mouth.
"After that, there were always people saying that they were the real Xu Jingxin. As my father became more famous, there were more and more of these people. Chu Hongwu was very scared. He couldn't contact my biological father and hoped that I could help tell the story. Only then did I know It turns out you’re not dead.”
"What kind of person is my biological father? I know he is cruel, but he loves me. I hate his cruelty, but I cannot repay his love."
Xu Jingxin's knees became weak and he knelt on the ground.
"From the moment I learned the truth, I knew I was wrong. I thought about leaving when you come back one day, but I was also afraid of your appearance. The longer time went by, the more afraid I became. I had to do countless things to comfort myself... "
She is Scrooge, the daughter of an interstellar pirate wanted by the Alliance. She is someone who cannot be in the league.
If she told her, it would harm her biological father, but if she didn't tell her, she couldn't bear the torture of her conscience.
The origin and development of the whole thing had nothing to do with her, but in the end she was the only one suffering from regret.
"I have become a very sinful person. I repent every day, sorry for my biological father, sorry for my father, and sorry for you. But I still can't do anything."
"I thought I had found hope, but I watched it turn into a nightmare... But even so... "
She was speechless.
Even so...she still loved this false hope.
"Where did I go wrong? Because I didn't have the courage, but it was really difficult. I shouldn't have been so whimsical and ridiculously self-righteous from the beginning... "
Her head hit the ground, and rain fell on her back: "I'm sorry."
Changfeng looked down at her, not knowing what to say.
But it's too late to apologize. Some people can no longer hear.
After a long time, Changfeng said: "You should know that there is a military monitor on me, right?"
Xu Jingxin choked and said, "I know."
She is too tired.
She felt good about ending it with punishment.
"I deeply sympathize with you." Changfeng tilted the umbrella and covered her body: "But if the two sides of sympathy have to choose one, I'm sorry, I have no doubt to choose... myself. The future is that even if I am afraid, I will Whatever you face, so does your punishment.”
"I know." Xu Jingxin stood up, wiped the rain off his face, and whispered, "I will end this matter with my own hands."
Changfeng raised his eyebrows, not knowing what she wanted to do.
"I can sympathize with you if you need it."
The voice sounded suddenly, and both of them were stunned.
"My dad said, 'Bravery, selflessness, and strength are indeed rare qualities, but for ordinary people like us, repentance is not a kind of character. It always reminds me not to make mistakes again. Because the price of the mistake will be the rest of my life.'" Kering bowed, "I express my sympathy for your confession."
Kering was carrying a bag half a meter high and holding a watermelon in his hand.
She didn't bring an umbrella either, of course it was possible that she didn't want to hold one.
Changfeng was shocked.
Where did this thing come from
Kaiyun asked: "Do you mind?"
"What?" Changfeng finally reacted, "Oh. Feel free to sympathize with me, don't worry about me."
Kering looked at Xu Jingxin again and declared: "I only express my sympathy verbally and will not help you."
Xu Jingxin could not answer.
"Tomorrow will come no matter what, and so will hunger." Kering borrowed Changfeng's words and asked: "Share?"
Changfeng glanced at his umbrella: "... Share it?"
