“That’s great, that was so well said!” Xia Yan hurriedly took Jiang Xiao’s empty glass and filled it with more than half a glass of champagne.”Come, come, come, let me toast you again!”

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

Alright, let’s drink.

Xia Yan grabbed the empty glass that Jiang Xiao had thrown back again and mumbled,””Come, come, come. After this glass, there are three more glasses.”

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

……

After three rounds of drinks, the soothing music by the sea turned into a lively dance. Hai Tianqing and Fang Xingyun also started dancing under the crowd’s jeers. After that, people all joined in.

Jiang Xiao initially wanted to dance with Han Jiangxue, but song Duoduo stopped him.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t bear to reject the invitation to dance by a little angel.

Jiang Xiao was no longer salty today and the little angel was very happy. She held Jiang Xiao’s palm and spun it around again and again, having a great time.

From the perspective of an idol alone, Jiang Xiao was indeed of excellent quality tonight.

At the seaside banquet, both the host and the guests were having a great time.

Fang Xingyun and hai Tianqing, the two newbies, left in the middle of the night. As for the guests who came, most of them had brought their children along and would not stay up late.

Han Jiangxue initially wanted to ask Jiang Xiao to go back and rest, but he was stopped by Xu Li.

Li Wanyu deliberately left the crystal ball that was emitting a faint glow behind, leaving Jiang Xiao and Xu Li sitting by the beach, drinking wine.

“What an interesting toast.” Xu Li said.

“Yeah, he’s just talking nonsense.” Jiang Xiao replied casually.

“I heard that you’re not only a night guard, but also a wasteland reclaimer,” Xu Li said.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and answered,”ah, I’m from the volunteer army.”

Xu Li nodded.”I really didn’t expect that the child I met in the snowfield would already be standing at such a high level.”

Feeling a little embarrassed, Jiang Xiao replied,””You flatter me, you flatter me …”

“You want to know about third last’s story,” Xu Li said, changing the topic.

Jiang Xiao stopped smiling and said with a serious expression,””Of course, this has been bothering me for a long time.”

Xu Li turned around and looked at the pitch-black Sea. Has second last ever taken you to her favorite barbecue shop?”

“Of course,” Jiang Xiao answered after being slightly stunned.

“Are the two elders healthy?” Xu Li asked.

“Uh …” Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said,”I haven’t been there for a while. When I went the last time, uncle Yu and Auntie Yu were still very healthy.”

“They’re third last’s parents,”Xu Li said.

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

“Third last, Yu Qiuci,” Xu Li said softly.

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and thought to himself, if they’re third last’s parents, then what does it mean that second last still patronizes that small restaurant?

Did second last separate the matter? A betraying comrade and his beloved grilled codfish were two different things?

Or perhaps … Second last wasn’t really angry with third last?

“Qiu CI’s story is very simple,” Xu Li replied.

“What?” Jiang Xiao asked.

“She’s someone who can’t calm down. Her heart is always restless,”Xu Li said.

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked,’in what aspect? Is it a desire for power?”

Xu Li thought for a moment and agreed,”in this aspect, she yearns to gain strength, but to gain strength is to serve her life.”

She wanted a different life, a different feeling, and a different experience. She was a person with her own thoughts. She always said that the length of human life is roughly the same, but the thickness is different. ”

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

“It’s because she has her own thoughts,”Xu Li replied,” so she lived through the first half of her life in conflict. ”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Xiao asked softly.

Xu Li said,”her thoughts and actions don’t match. Or rather, her thoughts and her heart don’t match.”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Xiao asked with a frown.

Xu Li said,’she shouldn’t have been admitted to a military school. Her college entrance examination choice was changed by the school without permission. She shouldn’t have been chosen by the guardians of the night in her freshman year, she shouldn’t have joined the light-chasing group, and she shouldn’t have joined the tail feathers team. She’s not suitable here. ”

Hearing the sound of the waves hitting the beach, Xu Li turned to look at Jiang Xiao and asked,””She had been a good girl for 24 years. One day, she suddenly exploded. To be exact, she had an emotional breakdown.”

Xu Li sighed softly.”I have a huge responsibility. I’ve been with her for so long, but I’ve never discovered her true inner thoughts.

She had always been so calm, so calm. She was a silent and obedient soldier, an extremely qualified soldier. However, on that day, she left us and jumped into the holy ground. ”

Xu Li forced a smile and said,”in the end, she told us that she didn’t want to live like this anymore. She wanted to see the mountains that she had never seen before. She wanted to see the sea that she had never seen before.”

“Hehe.” Xu Li shook his head.”The snowfield, under the stars, the Arsenal, and the bushes.

The three northern provinces and the eastern five Alliance used to be under our jurisdiction, but these can’t satisfy her dreams and desires.

Perhaps … She realized a long time ago that these were not what she wanted. It was only on that day that she made her own choice. ”

“Ah …” Xu Li sighed deeply.”She shouldn’t have been so obedient. The strict management system of The Night Watch Army might have been the last straw that crushed her.

If the school had not changed her first choice and she had entered the local star Warrior University as per normal, if she had not listened to her parents ‘orders and agreed to the recruitment of the night guard in her first year, if she had not …

If she had chosen a career that she liked, the pressure wouldn’t be so great. Even if she had some free time, she might still be on earth. She might still be alive.

It would be great if she could become an explorer. ”

Jiang Xiao said softly,’I thought she went to the upper dimension for the sake of her strength. Now, it seems that she’s an extreme person.’ Even if she becomes an Explorer, one day, she will enter the upper dimension and earth will not be able to keep her. ”

Xu Li shook his head and said,”there are tens of millions of dimensional spaces on earth. She might not be able to travel all of them in her lifetime.” As for going to the upper dimension, my understanding is different from the other members of the team. ”

“Huh?” Jiang Xiao asked.

Xu Li said,”second last thinks that Qiu CI’s extremely irresponsible and disloyal for abandoning her teammate.” Second last thinks that Qiu CI went to the upper dimension to explore the unknown world, to search for her dream and to become more powerful. However, I don’t think so. ”

“What’s wrong?”Jiang Xiao asked.

Xu Li said,’as you said, she exploded in silence and went to the extreme. In fact, she still had many choices.

She could leave the Army, leave freely, and do what she wanted to do, but she chose to enter the holy ground at that moment.

In my eyes, it’s not an exploration of the world, but an escape, or even a suicide. ”

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth slightly and finally understood what Xu Li meant.

As Xu Li had said, third last still had many choices to choose from, but she did not choose this way.

And his last words were mistakenly thought to be to explore this world.

In fact, it might have been her resistance to life, or her resistance to fate.

Or perhaps, she simply didn’t know how to face her parents. At that moment, she had an emotional breakdown and chose to escape.

“As a comrade-in-arms, I don’t support her actions. However, as a friend, I’m willing to give her some understanding and tolerance. She made the wrong choice and ended up in the wrong place. ” Xu Li turned his head and silently looked at the rising and falling seawater on the beach.

“Why don’t you explain this to second last?” Jiang Xiao asked.

Xu Li said quietly,”because …. Compared to cowardice, escapism, or suicide, second last would rather believe that third last was pursuing her dreams at all costs. ”

Jiang Xiao sighed silently and thought to himself, second last would rather third last be a powerful traitor than a weak comrade.

Having said that, it was impossible to verify whether Xu Li or second last’s judgment was more accurate.

Everyone who lived in this world would have their own views and ideas. Xu Li’s guesses and judgments were also one-sided to Jiang Xiao.

Perhaps, first last and second last had both chosen a way that they could accept and accept the departure of their teammates.

Then, what was the four-tailed hai Tianqing’s opinion?

Jiang Xiao would keep this question to himself forever and would never ask hai Tianqing.

“Hehe.” Xu Li smiled helplessly, shook his head, and said,”I’ve never seen a mountain and a sea.

Sigh … I hope that she’s still alive. I hope that she can return safely after seeing the mountains, the seas, and everything she wants. ”

Jiang Xiao smiled and said,”if this woman’s heart is filled with the sea of stars, she won’t come back. On the contrary, she’ll only go further and further away.”

“What?” Xu Li turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said,”that’s an interesting conclusion, and it does fit what she would do. It seems that you understand this kind of people very well. Are you one of them?”

Jiang Xiao remained silent for a while and did not respond.

Xu Li said thoughtfully,”if you’re such a person, I have to tell second last in advance. She’s indeed very strong. However, I don’t want her to be hurt like this again.”

Jiang Xiao waved his hand casually and said,””Don’t worry, I won’t leave her. ”

Xu Li suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Xiao.

On the beach, there were crystal balls with faint fluorescent lights scattered all over. In this slightly dim environment, Xu Li’s eyes were extremely serious and solemn.

Xu Li: “combined with your experiences, you seem to be a restless person. You also have a Restless Heart.”

Jiang Xiao burst into laughter and said,

He picked up a mango from the plate and threw it into his mouth. The sweet juice of the fruit rippled in his taste buds.

I won’t leave,

Because I’m already on my way.

I’ve seen the mountains that you’ve never seen before.

I’ve also seen the sea that you’ve never seen before.

Those mountains were mountains that could not be climbed back.

Those seas were seas that could not be crossed.

Jiang Xiao did not answer and instead said,”Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe one day, third last will really come back.”

“I hope so,” Xu Li said softly.
