148 You are very hypocritical
The two of them walked around the truck.
There was only a desk lamp at the front of the car. As the distance changed, the shadows of the two people continued to lengthen and narrow.
"I've never seen such a dark sky."
Bai Jinxuan suddenly looked up at the sky, let out a long breath, and said, "Even if he was in the town when he was a child, he would not be so dark without stars and moon. He could not see anything, which was a bit scary."
Chen Xu turned to look at her side face. The light from the lamp in front of him shone over, forming a shadow, which looked particularly three-dimensional. He thought to himself that such a face shape would be a celebrity face, and would be more photogenic.
He asked, "How did you think of becoming a star?"
She turned to look at him, her eyes shining as if there was a light flashing, and she said, "Every girl has had a dream of becoming a star. But I was lucky and realized it."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "To be honest, I think it's quite strange that a person with a personality like you can become a star."
"That's because I met many good people along the way. Sister Liu, who works with me, is willing to sign my Aunt Shao, the boss of the agency, my agent Fang Fang, and everyone in my team. After arriving here, I met you again. My mother used to tell me that optimistic girls will never have bad luck. So, I can meet so many good people."
When Chen Xu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Do you have any deviation in your understanding of the word "good person"? I'm so fierce to you, and I asked you to do this and that, which one is a good person?"
"You want to drive me away, but you just want to, but you don't really do it."
Bai Jinxuan shook his head, "You think, it's because you took me in that I can eat hot food and take a bath with hot water. You can sleep peacefully. If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by that robot."
"Besides, now there are only two of us. Of course I have to do something, but I don't know anything else, so I can only do some chores. If I don't do anything, wouldn't it become a burden? My mother used to teach me that I must become a valuable person, from the whole society, to the company, to the team, to the family, it's the same. With value, I won't be easily abandoned."
When she was talking, Chen Xu kept looking at her, thinking about the contacts she had been in the past few days, and his heart was a little shocked. What did she experience when she was a child that was so afraid of being abandoned?
Instead of asking, he said, "Then you are really lucky. I hope you will always be so lucky in the future."
"Thank you." She turned around and showed a bright smile.
…………
The next day, Chen Xu and the others continued to rush on the road. The trucks became more and more remote, and the trees on the road were getting taller and taller, and there was no sign of the building.
Every time he passed by an intersection, Chen Xu would stop, take out the map and look for a while before continuing to move forward.
Until around 4 pm, a broken red crossbar suddenly appeared on the road surface, and Chen Xu stepped on the brakes.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jinxuan, who was resting with his eyes narrowed, was startled and asked.
Chen Xu walked out of the car and looked at the smooth break, he should have been cut off by something sharp.
He dragged the bar to the side of the road, clapped his hands, returned to the car, and said, "I think it should be coming soon."
Bai Jinxuan looked at the road ahead that disappeared in the thick fog, and felt a little panicked inexplicably, saying, "Is there any danger inside?"
Chen Xu looked at her seriously and said, "If you are afraid, stay here and wait for me. I will go in alone. If there is no danger, I will come back to pick you up."
She said without hesitation, "No, I want to go with you. Then I will hide and will definitely not drag you down."
Chen Xu glanced at her, started the car, and drove towards the depths of the thick fog.
After more than ten minutes.
In front of them, a hole-opened door appeared, and a metal door was upside down on the ground.
Chen Xu's heart sank when he saw this scene. Even the door collapsed. Could it be that the military camp has been lost?
Bai Jinxuan next to him looked at him, without saying a word, waiting for him to make a decision.
Chen Xu's face changed a few times and said, "I want to get out of the car and go in and take a look. You are sure to follow me."
He was really unwilling to leave like this. No matter what, he had to go in and take a look. With an alarm in hand, at least he didn't have to worry about encountering a sudden attack. Seeing that the situation was not good, he could run away in advance.
Bai Jinxuan nodded vigorously.
He did not persuade him anymore, turned the car, stopped it, pulled out the master key, got out of the car, took Bai Jinxuan, holding the alarm display in one hand and the electromagnetic pulse gun in the other, and walked into the door.
After walking for about ten meters, the ground became bumpy and the smell of gunpowder remained in the air. This smell was a bit familiar. Every year when he went home for the New Year, he would smell like this after firing firecrackers.
The more you go, the more pits appear on the ground.
Chen Xu felt a little frightened. Just from these pits on the ground, you can tell the tragic level of the battle.
However, he walked along the way and didn't see a single body. A glimmer of hope rose in his heart. Could it be that the surviving warrior put away all the bodies of his comrades?
The alarm in his hand had not moved, and he also took the courage to continue moving forward.
After a while, he finally saw the house, half of which had been blown up, and could see broken cement and naked/exposed steel bars.
He didn't dare to go in, and saw that there was no response on the display, so he walked around.
After passing this bombed barracks, he still gained nothing. So he continued to expand his search and gained the circumference.
However, he was able to confirm that this battle should have happened several days ago. He had just seen some blood stains, which were all dry, but the color was still very bright red.
The military camp was very big, and until nightfall, neither of them could walk through the entire camp.
To be honest, Chen Xu didn't know his current location. If he asked him to walk back, he would definitely not be able to go back to the parking truck.
However, he was not worried about not being able to find the truck. There was a wall here. As long as he found the wall and walked along the wall, he would definitely be able to return to the gate.
"Let's have a rest." Chen Xu suggested when he walked to a relatively complete building.
Bai Jinxuan was already tired. He heard this and found a place to sit down, took out the kettle he carried with him, and drank a few sips of water.
"Give it." Chen Xu put down the flashlight in his hand and handed over a chocolate.
"Thank you." After taking it, she tore open the packaging and started eating in small bites.
After she finished eating, Chen Xu handed over another one.
She took it, but did not take it apart, saying, "Chen Xu, tell me about you."
"I?"
Chen Xu leaned against the wall, staring at the alarm monitor, and said, "I am just an ordinary person, there is nothing to say."
She put her chin on her knees and said, "I don't think you're an ordinary person at all."
“How to say it?”
"In such an environment, you are not afraid or panic at all, and you are confident in everything. I think you must be an amazing person."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "You think you are amazing and you are good at complimenting people. Moreover, even though you know you are complimenting, you still enjoy it very much. This is really an amazing skill."
"I'm serious."
"I'm serious, too."
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." She said, and suddenly shivered.
Chen Xu asked, “Is it cold?”
“A little bit.”
"You can have a breather over there, come here."
Bai Jinxuan stood up, sat next to him, snuggled gently beside him, and asked, "The wind is so strong, why can't the fog be blown away?"
Chen Xu said, "I don't know either, I hope I can get the answer here."
Next, the two of them did not speak, and just snuggled up, listening to the whistling wind outside. The darkness surrounds the surroundings, and only a beam of white light shining from the flashlight.
After a while, she spoke again, "Can you tell me about you and your girlfriend?"
"There is nothing to say, it's just a bloody love story." Chen Xu didn't want to mention his emotional matters to others.
After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "Are you, do you do this to everyone?"
"Um?"
"I think you have been closing your heart. Are you not tired like this?"
Chen Xu looked at the light from the flashlight and asked, "You are trying hard to prove your worth to others. Are you tired?"
Bai Jinxuan put his face on his sleeve and murmured, "Chen Xu, what if I fall in love with you?"
"No." Chen Xu remembered Luo Xiyun, and his heart tightened, saying, "If one day, you have that illusion. It has become a habit just because you rely on me."
"Isn't that love?"
After a while, Chen Xu said softly, "I don't think it counts."
The wind outside became louder.
"Chen Xu."
"Um?"
"Has anyone ever told you that you are actually very pretentious?"
