The two of them walked around in this luxurious shopping mall. Unexpectedly, although Li Wanting was usually as beautiful as an iceberg, when she came here, she also turned into a girl who loves beauty and shopping.
As long as it is a store, you have to go in and browse, looking at clothes, shoes, bags, and beautiful handicrafts, but when you go back to shopping, you don’t buy anything along the way.
In her own words, she just rolled her eyes. These things are of little use on her own. Normally in the laboratory, she basically wears a white coat to cover everything.
Besides, I am naturally beautiful, so I don’t need these vulgar decorations.
Zhan Jingyi could only nod his head with such a confident statement, but it also made him a little deeply worried. It didn't seem good to go shopping without buying anything. Wouldn't it make him look stingy?
So Zhan Jingyi was cruel and bought her a three-ball ice cream. He also splurged a bit and ordered a two-ball ice cream. Then he bought her a lot of snacks. Seeing that it was still early, So the two got into a game arcade again.
Here, Zhan Jingyi even saw the playful side of Li Wanting. She was jumping and sweating in front of the dance machine. Zhan Jingyi was stunned. This was completely different from Li Wanting, who was usually rational and outstanding. ah.
After playing until very late, the two found another Sichuan restaurant. The exterior decoration of the restaurant was simple yet stylish, with blue bricks and black tiles, cornices and brackets, which gave it a quaint charm of Western Sichuan folk houses.
When you walk into the restaurant, you can feel the lively atmosphere unique to the Sichuan region. Red paper lanterns are hung high, carefully drawn menus are displayed in eye-catching positions, and some traditional paintings and handicrafts from the Sichuan region are hung on the walls. The restaurant is full of strong cultural atmosphere.
The restaurant is spacious, the tables are neatly arranged, the tableware is simple and clean, and the service staff are dressed in traditional Sichuan opera costumes, with warm attitudes and elegant manners.
The dishes of this Sichuan restaurant are rich and diverse, covering almost all the classic dishes of Sichuan cuisine, from spicy Mapo tofu and boiled fish, to mellow twice-cooked pork and Kung Pao chicken, to refreshing cold dishes and saliva chicken. Every dish is carefully prepared by experienced chefs, with authentic taste and unique texture.
Finally feeling full, Zhan Jingyi carried a big bag of snacks and came to the cinema with Li Wanting.
The cinemas here are quite special. Most of them are divided into small rooms one after another. There are sofas in which you can lie down. There are a lot of movie resources. Customers can choose romance movies, action movies, etc. at will.
In addition to this small room model, there are also large movie halls that can accommodate dozens of people.
This kind of hall is for those who really want to watch movies.
In the small room, you can choose your own videos, but in the lobby, you can only watch whatever is on.
Zhan Jingyi discussed with Li Wanting and chose the hall. Just in time, they caught up with a movie called "Terzico", which was about a shipwreck.
Zhan Jingyi thought it was pretty good. He happened to be going to sea on the Cape of Good Hope the day after tomorrow, so he wanted to study first.
Zhan Jingyi really thought the content of the movie was quite interesting. He almost fell asleep while watching it, but Li Wanting watched it with gusto. She kept staring at the screen quietly, casually taking popcorn from Zhan Jingyi's arms.
While watching the movie, Zhan Jingyi discovered a little secret.
Even though Li Wanting ate very little when eating, it seemed that her appetite was very small, but when she ate popcorn, she really ate a lot.
So, woman is a very strange creature.
…
After watching the movie, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Zhan Jingyi and Li Wanting didn't take a taxi because the mall was not far from Li Wanting's hotel, so Zhan Jingyi decided to send her back first, so the two of them strolled along the avenue to the hotel.
At this time, because it was almost midnight, there were very few people on the streets. There were only some restless people, wandering idle or doing other things on the streets.
When passing by a street, there was a group of people who were drinking beer and eating barbecue at a roadside barbecue stall. When they saw Li Wanting's beautiful figure, the drunk maniacs whistled provocatively towards Zhan Jingyi and Li Wanting. .
Seeing this situation, Zhan Jingyi was afraid that they would suffer a loss, so he quickly pulled Li Wanting away, who was a little angry.
Zhan Jingyi had wandered on the streets when he was a child, so he knew that these people were not necessarily bad people usually, but once they drank a little and got drunk, it would be hard to tell.
Of course, many of the people still drinking on the streets at such a late hour were the kind of people who would fight, steal, and do anything.
Li Wanting looked thoughtfully at Zhan Jingyi, who was pulling her, and the group of street gangsters who were getting further and further away from them.
"War King, it's very late now, be careful when you go back..."
After seeing Li Wanting arrive at the door of the hotel, it was quite late. Zhan Jingyi declined her invitation to go in and sit for a while and did not go in.
Li Wanting seemed to be having a lot of fun, and warned him: "It's very late now, and the streets are not very safe."
"fine."
Zhan Jingyi smiled and replied: "I will go around that street later and try not to conflict with others."
"Uh-huh."
Li Wanting agreed, but had no intention of going upstairs. Instead, she was thoughtful, paused, and then raised her head: "War King, actually I also have a question to ask you."
She thought slowly, as if thinking about how to organize her words. After a while, she raised her head and said with a smile: "You are so capable and have helped the federal government solve so many problems."
"Actually, in this world, with your ability, you should be able to get everything you want easily, right?"
"But you have always been willing to help Institute 502 and protect all of us. You would rather earn everything you need..."
Her voice paused slightly and she said softly: "What exactly are you doing?"
Hearing this question, Zhan Jingyi was dull for a while, silent, and seemed to be thinking seriously.
In fact, he was not surprised at all that Li Wanting would ask this question. It seemed that Ai Li had asked a similar question...
When thinking of Aili, Li Wanting felt a little melancholy. She hadn't seen Aili for a long time, and she didn't know how the mission was completed. Why have we lost contact for so long...
Standing on the empty street, Zhan Jingyi looked at the bright moon in the distance, thinking very seriously about the question raised by Li Wanting.
A bright moon appeared over the city, like a silver lantern, as if it was very close to the ground, and its bright light outlined the silhouette of the city.
The moonlight is like water, pouring over this bustling city. Under the moonlight, the buildings in the distance seem to be dyed with a light silver.
The windows of high-rise buildings are dotted in the dark night like stars, flickering on and off, reflecting the crystal clear moonlight. The originally hard steel forest becomes much softer under the moonlight, as if it has been given life.
The streets under the moonlight are empty and silent, like a sleeping child. The street lights are shining alone on the roadside. The color of the light and the moonlight complement each other, adding a sense of warmth to the silent night.
The moonlight is poetic, shining quietly on every corner of the city, subtly combining the city's prosperity and silence, brightness and darkness, movement and stillness.
…
"Why do you ask such a question?"
Looking at the night view of the city in the distance, the smile on Zhan Jingyi's face disappeared for a moment, but soon appeared again naturally.
"Would it be weird not to do this?"
Li Wanting looked at Zhan Jingyi's face quietly, as if she wanted to find an answer.
"But if you insist on asking..."
Zhan Jingyi looked at Li Wanting, pointed at the city and streets under the moonlight in the distance, and replied with a smile: "Maybe it's because I like my current life... It's so quiet, how can I not protect such a good life?" Woolen cloth?"
"There are thousands of ordinary people living in these high-rise buildings in front of me. Of course, their happiness and peace may not have much to do with me..."
"But I think that the years are peaceful just because there are people who are carrying a heavy burden and moving forward. For their well-being, even if I am not carrying a heavy burden, someone will definitely do this. Besides, I quite like to see them like this... …”
"So, I want to use my power to protect all this beauty."
This answer made Li Wanting silent for a while, and her mood was a little different.
After a while, she raised her head and said with a smile: "I may not represent everyone, but I can represent myself. Thank you, War King."
"Um?"
Zhan Jingyi was slightly surprised and said sheepishly: "Team Leader Li, it's obviously you who helped me so much..."
"no."
Li Wanting looked into Zhan Jingyi's eyes, smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a straight line, and said, "I'm not only doing it for myself, I'm also doing it for Institute 502 and the federal government. Thank you."
As she spoke, she slowly came closer.
Feeling her breath approaching, Zhan Jingyi's heart suddenly beat rapidly, and he stared blankly at Li Wanting's face getting closer and closer to him.
Feeling a trace of hot air tickling his ears, Zhan Jingyi felt that the tips of his ears seemed to be a little red.
"War King, thank you for staying with me for the day. You must be careful when you go back."
"Wow"...
After Li Wanting finished speaking, she put the snacks in her arms into his arms and then stepped away.
"These snacks are for you..."
"War King, goodbye...good night."
She smiled and waved to Zhan Jingyi, then entered the hotel with brisk steps.
"this……"
Zhan Jingyi looked at Li Wanting walking into the hotel and savored her good smell. After a long time, he smiled slightly and thought to himself: "Team Leader Li, you smell so good..."
"Hey, I originally bought these snacks...Why are they given to me?"
