The torrent of time continued to slide, and every member of the team chose to rest in place for a deep rest and mental adjustment. Humans and wolves, two completely different creatures, coexist in the same room in this moment of tranquility, forming a unique landscape. However, due to the language barrier and the ineradicable guarding against each other, they always maintained a distance, close yet out of reach.
At this moment, Ye Ning had no choice but to step forward and act as the translator between the two parties. His voice echoed in the empty ruins. He used patience and strength to explain, communicate, and reconcile conflicts. He hopes to use his sincerity to influence every soul, so that they can put down their guard and accept each other's existence.
However, until night fell like a parachute and the sky filled with stars began to dominate the earth, Ye Ning's efforts seemed to still fail to achieve the expected results. His sincerity is like a beam of light, which appears weak in the dark night, but insists on shining, showing his determination and hope to all living beings.
As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the day is replaced by the silence of the night, and every tired star twinkles silently in the sky. After a long day of trekking through mountains and rivers, or foraging and hunting, every creature in the team was exhausted, and the energy in their bodies seemed to have been completely squeezed out.
Although sleepiness swept over them like a wave, the wariness between everyone and the wolves was like an invisible line of defense, firmly blocking their desire for comfort. In the dark night, their consciousness remained sharply awake, and their senses did not dare to relax at all. They were 120% vigilant, for fear that the other party would suddenly launch a surprise attack.
In this mutually defensive and tense atmosphere, even if they have already laid down in warm sleeping bags or huddled in a corner, people are still looking for opportunities to fall asleep while waiting for a long time. Their extreme vigilance made it difficult for them to fall asleep. They had to wait until late at night, when fatigue defeated their alertness, and they could reluctantly rely on their remaining strength to fall into an uneasy sleep.
And only Li Yishuang, a very nervous person, could fall asleep early. Mainly because she always felt an inexplicable sense of security, feeling that no one could hurt her. She was therefore unsuspecting and even forgot everything around her before she managed to fall asleep.
At some point late at night, Li Yishuang was driven out of sleep by physiological needs. The warmth of the sleeping bag and the temptation of sleep had not been completely separated, and her consciousness woke up hesitantly in chaos. Under the dim moonlight, she recognized that among the ruins of the house, humans and wolves were distributed separately, forming two clear boundaries. Their resting areas were far apart, like two parallel worlds, and then she realized what scene she was in now. Down.
Li Yishuang moved her body carefully, her gait as light as a feather, as if she was afraid that her every move would wake up this trapped creature. Like a night owl, she flitted along the edges of the ruins, looking for a hidden corner to address her urgent physiological needs.
However, when she easily stepped out of the doorless door and walked out of the dilapidated shell of the ruins, what was revealed was a bright starry sky and a quiet figure. Ye Ning was standing on the open land at this moment, facing the starry sky, as if he was talking to the endless universe. Li Yishuang saw his back, looking lonely and resolute under the starlight. At this moment, her heartbeat couldn't help but freeze.
"Someone is here, it's that girl. You ask about the situation first." Seeing this, Xinghun immediately stopped chatting with Ye Ning and let Ye Ning deal with the matter at hand first.
"Why are you up at midnight?" Ye Ning turned around, looked at Li Yishuang, and asked gently.
Li Yishuang's voice was very low. She was sure that she didn't make any noise, so she was very confused. How did Ye Ning hear her voice and know that she had arrived at the door?
Li Yishuang said bluntly without thinking, "I drank too much water. It's convenient to get up in the middle of the night."
"Okay, then go ahead." Ye Ning immediately turned his head and continued to look at the stars, jokingly saying, "Don't worry, I won't peek at you."
Li Yishuang was speechless, but she didn't want to refute. She immediately found a quiet place for a while and then came back.
The moonlight shines like water on the ruins, and golden starlight pours down. Li Yishuang gently and deftly sat next to Ye Ning. Her amber eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she touched Ye Ning's shoulder gracefully, and the corners of her reddish lips curved into a silent smile.
\"Why are you still awake at night, so you have the time to look at the stars?" Her voice was as light as a feather, passing over the lake, stirring up ripples in the night. There was an affectionate and doubtful gaze in her eyes. She was so curious and doubtful about Ye Ning's many confusing behaviors. She joked, "What is the charm of the starry sky that makes you fall in love so much, or do you also want to Going to the moon to find a wife?"
Ye Ning just sighed lightly, showing a hint of depression at the same time; "I'm upset..."
His tone was low and slow, like a tired traveler pouring out his helplessness and confusion in the night: "If you habitually look at the stars, you may be able to find some lonely comfort. Stars, they are always so tenacious. They exist...looking at them makes me feel relieved for a moment from the pressure in my heart."
Ye Ning's words were made up on the fly. He couldn't tell Li Yishuang that he came out to talk to Xinghun. His words also deliberately avoid proving and answering questions, and lead the reasons for his contradictions to the stars.
But Li Yishuang took it seriously and immediately came to Ye Ning's side, comforting Ye Ning and saying: "I know you are worried because of that incident. But please relax and don't move forward with a heavy burden. The wish you carry, Getting two completely different races to live in harmony cannot be achieved overnight.”
"Just like thin water needs a long flow to cut stone, falling flowers also need the changing of seasons to end. All beautiful things need time to nurture and grow. Even if they are two ordinary people who have never met, they want to establish a sincere and deep relationship. Friendship also requires several days of mutual understanding and training. This kind of interaction and understanding is like exquisite porcelain that needs to be fired countless times before it can shine."
"What's more, the peace you hope for is not the understanding between people, but the coexistence between groups, the connection between humans and wolves. This is a span that crosses races and the laws of nature, and is greater than any other. Any kind of reconciliation within humanity is fraught with difficulties, threatened by obstacles higher than mountains and assumptions deeper than the sea.”
"So, relax! All meaningful things are worthy of our efforts and efforts. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Ye Ning was stunned by Li Yishuang's words for a moment, but he immediately realized what Li Yishuang was talking about and said calmly: "Thank you."
At this moment, Xinghun's voice sounded in Ye Ning's ears: "Ye Ning, this is a good opportunity. I need to know how strong this girl is."
Ye Ning turned to look at Li Yishuang, his eyes were like the surface of a calm lake, so deep that it was impossible to fathom. His mind was filled with stars and his thoughts were misty, thinking about how to test Li Yishuang's supernatural power in a tactful and polite way.
While maintaining respect and etiquette, she deliberately explored the extent of Li Yishuang's supernatural abilities. He did not want to openly reveal his inner doubts, and he was even less willing to state the purpose of his trip directly. He knew that if Li Yishuang's abilities exceeded his expectations, she might be beyond his control in the future.
Ye Ning knew that if Li Yishuang's powers were stronger than his own, he might not be able to control her in the future. This was what Star Soul was most afraid of, but Star Soul had not been able to invade Li Yishuang's mind until now.
Everything is possible. Before it became clear, Ye Ning didn't have the slightest fear. These thoughts surged in Ye Ning's mind like a tide, but he suppressed them one by one, not allowing any emotion to be revealed.
After thinking for a moment, a relaxed smile appeared on his lips, as if he had solved the mystery in his heart. He said to Li Yishuang gently and naturally: "Yishuang, open your palms."
Ye Ning's voice contained a cheerful and calm tone, as if this was just an unimportant matter, and it was almost difficult to detect the expectations deep in his heart.
When Li Yishuang heard Ye Ning's words, she couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in her heart. We were still talking about the same topic just now, why did we suddenly change the topic? Still such a strange topic.
Her eyes flickered, unable to capture the intention behind Ye Ning's words, aiming to figure out the unknown deep meaning. However, she has absolute trust in Ye Ning, who is more like a friend than an instructor in daily life. No matter what, she has a deep trust in Ye Ning, a trust that comes from respect and a trust in her own choices.
Furthermore, Li Yishuang's trust has always been unconditional. As long as the relationship is good enough, she can trust the other party unconditionally. She has never suffered a loss so far, and this is still the case. After all, Li Yishuang's character is like this, kind and straightforward, as calm as water, as clear as water.
After just thinking about it briefly, he temporarily put aside his inner confusion and chose to trust Ye Ning, regardless of all his thoughts about supernatural powers. She nodded gently, with no disobedience on her face, and stretched out her jade-white palm.
Li Yishuang gently opened her palm and spread her fingers casually, soft yet firm. That hand was delicate and white, with slender fingers, powerful yet flexible, like a blooming lotus, quietly emerging in front of her, showing off its elegance.
