The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 2. Night

Talk After the meeting, it was already dark. Kenichi Ito returned to his room and couldn't wait to lie down on the bed, wanting to have a good sleep. He has been busy working for the past few days and is already exhausted. In order to cope with the upcoming wormhole transmission experimental operation, he needs to get enough rest these days to maintain a good mental state.

However, whether it was because he was too excited or too nervous, Ito lay on the bed and tossed and turned for several hours without falling asleep.

This went on until late at night. When he really couldn't sleep, he simply climbed out of bed, walked outside the room, and wandered alone and aimlessly in the silent Grandmaster Shengong Building.

He wandered around for a while, and inadvertently came to an office leisure area with luxurious decoration and unique layout. It is filled with green grass and flowers, comfortable leather sofas, free snacks and self-service drink machines. Through the clean large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can also see the charming night with the bright lights of Geneva, which is mind-blowing.

This leisure area in Itomi is a great place to relax and unwind. So he walked inside without saying a word, poured himself a glass of fragrant milk, chose a sofa by the window and sat down, while drinking milk, he stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

"Hey, can't you sleep either?"

Not long after Ito sat down, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Ito was startled, subconsciously stood up from the sofa, turned his head and looked behind him, looking for the source of the sound.

I saw in the dim and soft room Under the light, there seemed to be a person sitting on a couch not far away from him with its back to him.

Ito looked at the couch in surprise and asked:"Hey, who is there?"

At this time, a graceful figure slowly stood up from the sofa, turned around and approached him.

Ito took a closer look and realized that the person walking towards him was actually his crush Li Qing.

Li Qing. Qing said:"It's me, didn't you see me when you came in just now? I've been sitting there. Ito shrugged and said,"The lights there were too dark, so I didn't notice." What are you doing here so late?

Li Qing said:"I was a little upset and couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk.""She said and sat on the sofa opposite Ito.

Ito also sat down and said,"I can't sleep either.

Li Qing smiled and said:"That's good, just chat with me.""

After hearing this, Ito was secretly happy. Being able to be alone with Li Qing was exactly what he had been dreaming of during this period. But on the surface, he pretended to be calm and said nonchalantly:"Okay, I'm bored anyway.

Li Qing said:"I heard from Jason that you once dealt with the Xingri Society alone in Japan for a long time. Is this true?" Ito smiled bitterly and said,"That's not considered circumvention at all. It's just hiding here and there like a mouse."

Li Qing said:"Then it shouldn't be easy for you to face such a predicament alone." Will you be afraid?"

Ito said frankly:"I'm scared, I'm so scared. I'm so scared that I can't sleep every day. Li

Qing asked:"Then did you ever think about giving up? I mean, surrender to the Xingri Society, hand over the wormhole transmission technology to them, and let them let you go."

Ito shook his head and said,"No, I never thought about it." I once swore that no matter what, I would never let anything I invented hurt others. Even if I die, I can't let this happen. Therefore, I have never considered using wormhole transmission technology to make a deal with the murderous Xingri Society. I thought at the time, the worst case scenario was that I would be caught and killed by them, but they could not expect to get this technology from me and use it to do evil and kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Li Qing said with admiration:"You are really a moral person." If it were me, facing such terrifying villains, I might consider doing this in order to survive. Even though I know it's selfish and hateful."

Ito said thoughtfully:"Actually, it's not entirely related to morality, but more to do with my past experiences.

Li Qing said curiously:"Past experience?" What kind of experience was that? Can you tell me?"

Ito's eyes flashed with sadness, and he said with a slightly bitter expression:"Forget it, those things happened a long time ago, and they were all bad things, so let's not talk about them. Li Qing saw Ito's strange expression and said warmly:"The long night is a good time to tell stories." Moreover, if you talk about those sad things, you may feel better."

Ito looked at Li Qing's clear and moving eyes and felt her warm and kind attention. After hesitating for a while, he said,"Okay, let me tell you. To be honest, I had no intention of telling anyone else about this."

Then, he tried his best to organize his thoughts and slowly recalled:"The thing is like this, I was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. The director of the orphanage and other adults liked me very much because I was very smart. They were very kind and caring to me. However, my companions in the orphanage who grew up with me treated me differently. They were jealous of me, excluded me, and even isolated me. They tried every means to embarrass me every day and took pleasure in doing so. And in the entire orphanage, there was only one person willing to make friends with me. And she is the only one willing to stand on my side and speak for me. This person is Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai is a very cute little girl. She has a gentle and kind personality and is very popular in the orphanage. Even those vicious companions gave her three points because they liked her. Ever since I made friends with her, I always had a lot of fun and joy when I was with her. We talked about everything and shared every detail of our lives. I told her my childish dream, and she didn't make fun of me. Instead, she always encouraged and supported me, and often accompanied me to do some boring experiments. I once longed for the fact that we would grow up together, go to college together, and spend our entire youth together.……"

Ito paused, his eyes filled with tears unconsciously, and his voice became a little hoarse and he continued:"However, a very tragic tragedy happened later, which broke this longing. I remember it was a hot summer, the weather It was very hot. In order to relieve the heat, some vicious companions forced me to go to the dean's office to steal money so that they could buy ice cream for them. I was unwilling to obey them and did bad things for them, so they surrounded me and beat me. They immediately shaved off my hair and drove me to the yard to"show off". Unable to endure the torture, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I rushed back to the room and used some simple tools to create a large-braking weapon. I brought a powerful crossbow weapon with me and rushed out desperately to seek revenge on my fellow villains, preparing to die with them. When the fellow villains saw that I was looking for them with dangerous weapons, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions in the yard.. And I was chasing them like a crazy wild dog.

Xiao Ai, who was resting in the room, heard about this and quickly walked out of the room and rushed over to stop me. The result... the result Because she ranI was too anxious and accidentally fell down the stairs. My head was bleeding and my whole body was dying. And I, the one who saw her fall with my own eyes...it was me...it was all my fault, Xiao Ai...it was me who harmed her……"Ito said, gradually choking up.

He clenched his fists, tried his best to control his emotions, and continued with difficulty:"But Xiao Ai... Xiao Ai is so kind. Before she died, she didn't blame me. Instead, she tried her best to tell me:"It's okay, it's great that you haven't made a mistake yet. I hope you won't hurt others with your inventions in the future. You are so smart, you want to use your inventions and creations to help others, okay?"……Little Ai still cared about me when she was dying! I agreed to her last wish without hesitation and swore a poisonous oath in front of her. This is not only to prevent Xiao Ai from being disappointed, but also to make up for the regret caused by his foolish use of force. Therefore, from then on, no matter what difficulties I encountered or what dangers I faced, I would never use force to solve problems, let alone let my inventions and creations become weapons. This is my commitment to little love."

Li Qing was shocked after hearing Ito's story, and felt very sympathetic to Ito's experience. She stretched out her delicate hand, patted Ito's hand, and said softly:"This is really a sad story. I'm sorry, I was wrong, I really shouldn't have asked you to mention it. Ito wiped the tears from his eyes with his hand, shook his head and said,"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Li Qing said:"You know, I didn't know you very well before. I always thought you were a very strange person." Sometimes you look timid and timid, but sometimes you act brave and decisive, making people confused about what type of person you are. Now, I can more or less understand why.

Ito smiled bitterly and said,"Yes, I am such a person."

Li Qing smiled and said,"But no matter what, you are a good person, a truly good person.""

Ito said sheepishly:"Thank you."

Ito picked up the warm milk and took a deep sip to calm down the mood swings caused by recalling the past.

Neither of them spoke for a while and fell into silence.

After a while, Ito asked Li Qing He said:"By the way, you just said you were upset and couldn't sleep. Is there something on your mind?

Li Qing said:"Well, I am indeed worried." Ito asked:"Is it about returning to Huaxia Country?"

Li Qing shook his head and said,"No.""

Ito said:"Oh, I thought you were homesick and looking forward to going home, so you were upset. So what are you bothering about?

Li Qing said coyly:"I don't know if it's appropriate to tell you these things?" Ito smiled bitterly and said,"I just told you an important secret of mine, but you are unwilling to talk about your affairs. This is unfair." Besides, didn't you say that the long night is a good time to tell stories? After Li Qing hesitated for a moment, he whispered:"It's about me and Jason. Do you really want to hear it?" I know, you...you seem to be interested in me, a woman's intuition tells me."

Ito was shocked when he heard this. He had no idea that Li Qing's concern was actually his relationship with Jason, and he didn't expect that Li Qing had known that he liked her for a long time. In an instant, he had many thoughts:

"How far have Qing and Jason developed?"

"Are they together?"

"Alas, they should be together, after all, they were so close before"

"But if they were together, why was Qing Huan so troubled?"

"Humph, it's probably because that guy Jason was treating her badly, right?"

"Damn Jason, he has such a beautiful and gentle girlfriend, but he still doesn’t know how to cherish her. If it were me, my love wouldn't be enough"

"By the way, should I admit that I like Qing?"

"Wouldn't it be too hypocritical to deny it?"

"But if she admits it, it would be too embarrassing to talk to Qing about her relationship problems. Besides, since Qing already has Jason in her heart, wouldn’t I be asking for trouble if I admit that I like her?"

"Forget it, let’s not admit it. So

, Ito Qiangsaku said coolly:"No, I think you may have misunderstood. I...I am not interested in you. Although you are beautiful, charming, and versatile, but...but you are not the one I like." A type, yes, not the type I like."

Li Qing said shyly:"Well, it seems that I want to do more.,Feel sorry."

Ito said:"It doesn't matter. You can talk to me about your affairs. Is Jason bullying you? I can help you teach him a lesson. Of course, the lesson I am talking about refers to a verbal lesson. You know, I will not use force, and even if I use force, I will beat him if I add ten of them. But him.

Li Qing said:"No, he is very good to me." However, I don't understand why he has been unwilling to confess his love to me. Ito said in surprise:"He hasn't confessed to you yet?"

Li Qing nodded slightly and said,"Yes." You are also a man, can you understand his thoughts? Anyway, I don’t understand it."

Ito secretly thought to himself:"If Qingya is so affectionate towards me, will I confess to her?"

As his thoughts flashed, two people suddenly appeared in his mind - Zoe, who had a crush on him, and Megan, whom he once liked. Of these two girls, one confessed to him before she died, and the other One of them was confessed by him the night before his death, but both of them died tragically in the end.

"So what if we confess our feelings, so what if we are together, in this precarious and dangerous situation, maybe the next day two people will be separated by life and death."Ito thought about it, and a sadness surged in his heart. At the same time, he also suddenly realized that he knew the reason why Jason refused to confess.

He raised his head and looked at Li Qing, and said to Li Qing sadly:"Maybe, Jason is because I'm too scared, that's why I don't confess to you.

Li Qing said incomprehensively:"Afraid?" Are you afraid of being rejected by me? Doesn't he still understand my feelings? Ito shook his head and said,"No, he is afraid of making you sad." He is afraid that after you are together, if one day he encounters danger and dies, you will be sad for him. I think he did this because he really cared about you and was thinking about you.

Li Qing said:"But isn't our current situation much safer than when we were in Huaxia Country? What else does he have to worry about?"

Ito sighed and said,"You don't know what we have been through, that's why you think so." I can only tell you that for us, the future is still full of obstacles, and dangers always come unexpectedly. There is no real security. As the guardian of our team, Jason has always been at the forefront of the battle. He is always in the most dangerous situation and is the easiest person to sacrifice."

After listening to Ito's words, Li Qing recalled the various thrilling scenes he experienced in Dunhuang and Jason's protective behavior, and knew that what Ito said was right. She lowered her head and murmured:"You are right. , I thought too simply. I didn't think about his position. He must be helpless too."

Ito said:"It's really helpless. But that was all he could do."

Li Qing was silent for a while, then raised his head and said with some excitement:"But I really like Jason and want to be with him. Growing up, many boys pursued me, but none of them could make my heart flutter. It wasn't until I met Jason that I felt in love for the first time. I don't want to just give up and miss him. Ito didn't expect Li Qing's feelings to be so intense. He asked tentatively:"Even if the ending may be very sad, can you accept it?"

After Li Qing struggled for a while, he said firmly:"Yes." I do not care. No matter what happens in the future, I just want to be with Jason now."

Ito looked at Li Qing's firm eyes and felt her unhesitating love. So, he encouraged Li Qing:"Then, you should confess to Jason.

Li Qing said:"What?""

Ito said:"Since Jason refuses to confess to you, then it's up to you to take the initiative to confess to him. Tell him your realization and he will agree.

Li Qing nodded slightly and said,"You make sense." Before, I always thought that girls should be more reserved. It seems that I have to let go of this reserve and actively pursue love."

Ito said sincerely:"Qing, I wish you good luck. I really hope you are happy.

Li Qing said happily:"Thank you.""
