Eh?
What am I doing now?
Dong Li frowned and looked around.
Why am I here?
She raised her hand to scratch the back of her neck and suddenly felt a chill under her armpit. Only then did she realize that her clothes were so revealing. She could not help but blush. She quickly ran out of the room and shouted Zhou Xia's name, saying that she wanted to change her clothes.
"Go to the closet and choose one yourself!”
Her tone was so fierce. Did he do something strange to her just now?
Dongli went to the master bedroom as she thought about it. She took out a set of short-sleeved pajamas from the closet and changed into them. The difference in their figures was not very big, so they were still suitable to wear.
After thinking quietly for a while.
"Ah!"
Sitting on the bed, she suddenly exclaimed, as if recalling the scene just now.
Oh my god, that charming guy is actually me?
She shook her head frantically, completely unable to believe it.
Could it be that the power had appeared again? She didn't expect that he would actually control her to do those embarrassing things. She was getting more and more confused about his true intentions.
At this moment, Zhou Xia came to the master bedroom after taking a shower.
She was wearing pajamas with the words " Clumsy Bear " printed on it, and her hair, which was usually tied up in a ponytail, was scattered behind her shoulders. Her expression carried a trace of shyness. Her cheeks were fair and rosy, and they were still steaming. She was like a steamed bun that had just come out of the cage. She was crystal clear and tender, and she was delicious.
Seeing this, Dong Li thought that Zhou Xia must have been misled by her actions just now.
She subconsciously moved her butt backward, raised her hands to her chest, and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying."Xia Jiang, I just…I think I was…Mmh!”
Before she could finish, Zhou Xia suddenly ran over and threw Dongli onto the bed.
She buried her head in Dongli's ear. They were so close that she could clearly feel each other's heartbeat. The latter had never encountered such a situation before. His body tensed up and he did not know where to put his hands. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Xia, Xia Jiang?"
"Dongli, when the typhoon came, I was really scared.”Zhou Xia's voice sounded very dull, perhaps because he was lying on his stomach. "After you left, I couldn't even control myself from thinking about what I would do if you didn't come back."
The more she went on, the more hoarse she became, and there seemed to be a slight sobbing sound.
Time seemed to have stopped, and the sound of the bell seemed so long and quiet.
An indescribable emotion appeared in Dongli's eyes as she stared at the ceiling. She caressed Zhou Xia's back and gently rubbed it, trying to reassure her.
"Actually, I really wanted to spend more time with you, especially after the typhoon. I realized your importance more and more, but the competition was not long away. I really had no choice because I couldn't disappoint my mother.”
"I understand, Zhou Xia. You don't have to explain it to me so clearly.”Dongli patted her back gently, just like a mother comforting her child.
"Thank you." Zhou Xia pressed his cheek against Dongli's ear and gently wiped it, like an injured cat, eager for care and protection. "Dongli, do you think there will be more disasters like the 'dragon' in the future?”
"Maybe."
Actually, the correct answer was definitely yes.
However, in this situation, facing an ordinary person who was also her good friend, Dong Li could not say the cruel truth.
"Why?"
" The civilization of mankind must pay a price for its development.”
"Why must it develop to such a powerful level? What kind of help would it be to us?”
"Maybe it makes life more convenient." Dongli couldn't explain it clearly. She could accept any kind of living method, so she didn't have a deep feeling."For example, in the past, you could only send letters by pigeon, but now you can do this with just a phone call?”
"What's wrong with sending a pigeon?”
"Slow transmission of information? It might delay some urgent matters.”
"But as long as everyone is the same, there's actually no difference, right?”
"Probably, but there will always be some people who will develop faster transmission methods, while others will desperately research new methods in order not to be pulled away.”
"So the price for the emergence of these methods is to sacrifice nature?"
"This explanation is a little far-fetched."
"I used to hear my mother talk about the era fifty years ago. Although the society at that time was not rich, it seemed to be better than now. Why?”
Fifty years ago?
Dong Li could not help but think back to her time 50 years ago. Although she was not much different from now, she could feel the difference in social ethos.
What was the difference? He felt that his desire was controllable.
At that time, people were in awe and held faith. No matter what they did, they were very serious, hardworking, and confident. They did not put benefits first. They paid more attention to the process rather than the result.
This didn't mean that the result wasn't important, but compared to the result, what was more important was the determination and hard work you put in to complete something.
As long as he did it with this unwavering belief.
so-called
" Man is determined to win the heavens," Dong Li muttered.
"What?"
For some reason, Dongli suddenly thought of what that man had said.
"Man can conquer nature. That makes one feel very comfortable and full of confidence. It was as if every breath of air was incomparably sweet and could ignite one's fighting spirit. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to achieve his wish and overcome all the difficulties that the heavens had given him.”
Zhou Xia could not help but be stunned. She did not expect Dongli to say such philosophical words.
"Maybe that's it. Although I haven't experienced it directly, maybe that's it.”
Dongli gradually understood Zhu Lin's thoughts. After all, he was a human from that era. He had experienced the change from spiritual wealth to materialistic desires. That was why he felt despair and disgust towards the current society.
And presumably, there must be more than one or two people like him in today's society. However, he was the only one who had the conditions to resist. He was the only one who had the chance to resist, so he seized the opportunity without hesitation.
Although he failed.
Zhou Xia suddenly hugged Dongli tighter.
"Will you protect me? When the next disaster arrived.”
"I will. As long as I can protect you, I will definitely protect you.”Dong Li raised her hand to Zhou Xia's head and stroked it down her soft hair. Her tone was as gentle as her actions.
"But what if it's not a typhoon next time, but an earthquake?”
She did not expect the other party to ask such a question, which made Dongli a little stumped.
Although she could solve the earthquake, she couldn't answer directly, so she pretended to think for a while and smiled."I will do my best to protect you.”
“... Thank you." Zhou Xia smiled sweetly.
"Alright, it's getting late. We have to sleep.”Dong Li patted Zhou Xia's back and motioned for her to get up.
However, Zhou Xia did not listen to her. Instead, he smiled slyly to himself. He put his hands close to Dong Li's waist and started to scratch crazily.
"Wow! Zhou Xia! Don't you hahahaha!"
The sudden attack caught Dongli off guard. She rolled on the bed and laughed out loud.
Zhou Xia was also laughing happily, but he accidentally let Dongli escape the attack range. When the latter saw this, he immediately turned around and made a counterattack. His fingers kept opening and closing, and he also put on a wicked smile on his face."It's my turn."
" Ahhhh!!!"
"Don't run!"
"You'd be a fool not to run!"
"Where are you going!"
As the night deepened, the room was filled with the laughter of the girls.
Their smiles were real. It had been a long time since they had been so relaxed. When they finally felt a little tired, they returned to the bedroom and lay down side by side on the bed.
After calming down, Zhou Xia turned around and looked at Dongli quietly.
"What? I don't do lilies." Sensing the gaze of the person beside her, Dong Li quickly pretended to be nervous.
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Xia replied unhappily. At the same time, he pinched Dongli's thigh, causing her to cry out in pain.
"I want to ask, do you know about the Divine Guard Bureau?”
