On the occasion of collapse

Chapter 854 Things that I thought were important before seem to be less important now.

"Ahem, I'm sorry to bother you two, but I have something I want to discuss with Miss Bronya." Just when Bai Zhi and Bronya were enjoying a harmonious atmosphere, a knock on the door interrupted their tenderness. .Einstein stood by the door, looking at the two guys hugging each other, and spoke unceremoniously to break the beautiful atmosphere.

"Ah, okay, Dr. Einstein." Bronya, who came back to her senses, quickly broke away from Bai Zhi's arms and stood staggeringly on the ground.

"Don't be brave, go lie down on the bed." She put her hand on Bronya's shoulders, Bai Zhi pushed her to sit on the bed, and said softly.

"Yes, Bronya knows." Bronya replied softly, looking at Bai Zhi, her heart felt warm.

"Okay, then you guys chat, and I'll go out for a walk." Looking at Einstein leaning against the door, Bai Zhi touched Bronya's little head, turned around and walked out the door.

"...She has changed a lot." Looking at Bai Zhi's retreating back, Einstein said slowly.

"Well, Bronya can feel it." Bronya also looked at Bai Zhi's retreating figure and agreed with Einstein's words.

"Not long ago, a spy from Tianming sent a letter saying that Bai Zhi was sent to be trained somewhere. When I got the news, I was shocked for a long time, because I really couldn't think of a place where she could be trained." Ai Yin said slowly. Stan really couldn't imagine what kind of place could train a guy as powerful as Bai Zhi who looked like a monster.

"But now it seems that she has indeed been tempered." Seeing Bai Zhi's figure disappear from sight, Einstein let out a long breath.

"I could feel a vague sense of oppression from her before, but now, without her taking the initiative to release, I don't feel the sense of oppression at all. And...she has also become mature. "What Einstein said is very accurate. The changes in Angelica dahurica are not only physical, but also emotional and spiritual.

"..." Bronya said nothing. She knew what Einstein said. Even just now, the meaning of Bai Zhi's words was very obvious.

It means giving her the power of choice completely.

Whether she chooses Bai Zhi, Xi'er, or both, Bai Zhi will not blame her and will accept it happily.

If it were Bai Zhi in the past, she might have directly asked herself if she would not want her anymore, but now, Bai Zhi has chosen to put her own feelings behind and put her feelings first.

Bronya felt that Bai Zhi had changed and was hiding her thoughts.

But she felt that Bai Zhi had not changed. She still subconsciously put the person she had seriously injured first.

It's just that this kind of Angelica... has become even more distressing.

Why do you pretend not to care even though you obviously care about it?

Wouldn't it be unfair to you to give me all the power of choice and decision?

Sure enough, no matter how much Bai Zhi changes, she will still be the same white fool...

"Maybe, but Bronya feels that a white fool will always be a white fool, and this will never change." Bronya said slowly, her tone was slow, but very firm, as if she was sure this matter.

"Is this so? Is this how Miss Bronya views her?" Walking to the bed, Einstein glanced at the chair where Bai Zhi had just sat. After thinking for a moment, he pulled a chair from the side and sat down. .

"Yes, Bronya believes in her, just like she believes in Bronya." Meeting Einstein's eyes, Bronya's eyes did not dodge at all.

"The relationship between Bronya and Idiot Bai is not a one-sided give or take, nor is it wishful thinking. This is proof of our feelings for each other. When Idiot Bai chose Bronya, Bronya I also chose White Idiot." She said firmly, Bronya believed in their relationship and would never change it.

"...Really, then I wish you happiness, Miss Bronya. But now, we should talk about business." Looking at Bronya's firm expression, Einstein ended the topic.

"Miss Bronya, I believe you still have many questions about this matter of the Quantum Sea..."

........

Hyperion Deck.

"Huh, Hyperion... I haven't been up here for a long time." Standing in a corner where no one could easily notice, Bai Zhi let out a long breath.

After all, her identity is quite special. If she is seen, she will be in a lot of trouble.

Therefore, it is better to hide it if you can.

"However, that guy Walter actually chose Bronya as the successor of the First Herrscher..." Looking up at the sky, Bai Zhi's mood was a little complicated.

On the one hand, he is worried about Bronya being involved in this muddy water. On the other hand, the person he values ​​​​has also become a Herrscher. On the other hand, he can no longer face his former opinions.

She didn't know what attitude she should have towards the Herrscher.

The Herrscher who fights for humanity, the Herrscher who destroys humanity, and even... She is also a Herrscher herself...

In just seven days, everything she once thought she was right about had been torn to pieces and crushed to pieces.

Strength, position, and even determination.

She is by no means a true strong person, because as strong as Qianjie, Poria, Alicia and Kevin were unable to defeat Honkai.

She is definitely not the one who has seen the truth, because there are too many truths in this world that she does not know at all.

She is definitely not the right person, because the Herrscher who fights for mankind really exists.

She could no longer find the meaning of everything she had done.

If the Herrscher is not evil, if the collapse is not destruction, if the 'truth' is not the truth.

So what is the purpose of everything she does?

For your family, for your friends, for the people around you.

for.......

Selfish desires.

He lowered his head and looked at Bai Zhi's white and slender hands, and was silent for a long time.

Yes, for selfish reasons.

This is by no means right, let alone just.

But after reaching this point, neither she nor Otto had any room to look back.

It's like walking in the snow.

Your footprints will be covered in heavy snow, and there is no chance to look back. All you can do is move forward...

"...I always feel that things that I thought were very important in the past seem to have become..." Bai Zhi muttered as she shifted her gaze from her hands to the wristbands on her wrists.

"It's not that important anymore..."

Chapter 855 Actually, Bronya is very timid.

"Huh? That child is..." Bai Zhi noticed a blue figure in the distance. Bai Zhi squinted her eyes and confirmed that the figure was Xi'er.

"Speaking of which, it seems that she was bullied just now..." Thinking of what she just said in front of her and Bronya, Bai Zhi touched her nose.

It always feels like a bit of a declaration of sovereignty...

Thinking of Xi'er's dejected look when she left, Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then moved her steps and walked over there.

......

Here, Xi'er was sitting alone on the bench at the edge of the deck, watching the floating clouds flying by both sides of Huberian, her hands tightly intertwined.

"Sister Bronya, and that sister...are really together..." The scene in the room where Bronya sat in Bai Zhi's arms kept coming back to Xi'er's mind, and Xi'er could clearly remember it. The smile on Bronya's face, the fondness in Bai Zhi's eyes, and their intertwined hands...

All these are telling Xi'er that Bai Zhi and Bronya are really together, not just playing around.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" A not-so-unfamiliar voice came from the side. Xi'er didn't look up. She subconsciously answered the question.

"I'm thinking about Sister Bronya and that eldest sister...ah!" After the words had been spoken, Xi'er slowly raised her head, saw the appearance of the person who spoke, and quickly stopped.

On the guardrail in front of her, a woman was holding the railing with both hands and sitting lazily on the guardrail.

"Huh? So it turns out that Xi'er can't even remember my name?" Bai Zhi jumped off the guardrail on one side and walked to Xi'er and sat down slowly.

"No, no, Xi'er can remember your name." When Bai Zhi said this, Xi'er's face turned red instantly, as if she was embarrassed because Bai Zhi heard her name.

"Hey~ Really? Then let me test Xi'er, what kind of Zhi is Bai Zhi's Zhi?" Looking at Xi'er's nervous look, Bai Zhi may understand why Bronya cares so much about Xi'er.

If I had such a sister, I might just dote on her more than Bronya...

"Xie'er...Xie'er doesn't know..." When Bai Zhi asked this question, Xi'er, who lacked knowledge, could not give a correct answer at all.

"Then let me tell Xi'er, how about it?" Bai Zhi leaned back slightly, leaning her back against the guardrail behind her, feeling the air flow across her cheek.

"The whiteness of Angelica dahurica is the whiteness of Baiyu Wuxia. The Zhizhi of Angelica dahurica is the Zhizhi of Yuanzhi and Lilan."

In the past, Bai Zhi would not have introduced herself like this.

Because neither Bai Yu Wu Xia nor Yuan Zhi Li Lan has anything to do with him.

She is not a flawless white jade, nor is she a noble person.

Of course, Bai Zhi doesn't think so now either.

She just wondered if saying this would make Xi'er feel more friendly.

"Bai Yu Wu Xia... Yuan Zhi Li Lan... So eldest sister, does your name still have so much meaning?" Listening to the answer given by Bai Zhi, Xi'er said thoughtfully.

"No, I have long forgotten the meaning of my name. Or maybe it doesn't mean anything at all. It's just that my parents gave me the name of a grass in the hope that I can make a living." Seeing Xi'er with surprise and excitement With envious eyes, Bai Zhi slowly shook her head and denied Xi'er's words.

"No, no, I believe...Sister Bai Zhi, your name must have a better meaning." Perhaps because she thought it was not good to continue calling Bai Zhi "Sister Bai Zhi", Xi'er changed her name and said seriously Said to Bai Zhi.

"Then let me borrow Xi'er's good advice." He reached out and rubbed Xi'er's hair. Bai Zhi's movements messed up Xi'er's originally neat hairstyle.

"Well..." Looking at the smiling Bai Zhi in front of her, and then at her messy hair, Xi'er sighed helplessly, and then resigned herself to arranging her hair.

Will she do the same to sister Bronya?

Then why didn’t Sister Bronya beat her when her hair was messed up?

Poor Xi'er didn't know that the guy in front of her deliberately learned how to tie Bronya's hair in order to be able to touch Bronya's head anytime and anywhere.

Just tie it back every time you mess it up, and over time Bronya will let her mess around.

"Xie'er, you... like Bronya, right?" Looking at Xi'er who was arranging her hair obediently beside her, Bai Zhi raised her chin and asked suddenly.

"Ah... no, no..." Xi'er was very good at lying, so much so that Bai Zhi could see through this lie which was not subtle at all.

"Really? But I seem to have seen Xi'er secretly wiping her tears before." She said with a smile. Bai Zhi's current behavior is completely in line with her appearance.

The whole person is very aggressive.

"That's...that's sand in my eyes..." He grabbed the corner of his clothes uneasily, feeling uncomfortable that his little secret was discovered.

"Ah~ So that's it~" Seeing Xi'er lying, Bai Zhi did not expose her.

Children still need a little self-esteem of their own.

"Well, that's it." Seeing that Bai Zhi seemed to believe her words, Xi'er breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.

"Xie'er, do you dislike me very much?" She asked this question slowly. In order to avoid putting pressure on Xi'er, Bai Zhi looked forward and did not choose to look at Xi'er.

"No..." Xi'er's voice was very low, and Bai Zhi only heard a buzzing sound. If it weren't for the quiet surroundings, Bai Zhi might not have been able to hear Xi'er's voice, which was as gentle as a mosquito. .

"That's it..." Bai Zhi nodded lightly. She didn't know if she really believed Xi'er's words, and she didn't continue to ask.

"The time I can stay here is limited. Maybe I can't go to the Salt Lake base with you. I estimate that I will leave again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Bai Zhi said slowly, not knowing what her psychology was.

Maybe Bai Zhi doesn't want the relationship between Xi'er and Bronya to get worse because of her.

Listening to Bai Zhi's words, Xi'er looked at Bai Zhi in confusion, wondering why she was saying this to herself.

"So, can you please stay with Bronya for a while? She is too lonely." Bai Zhi said softly, as if to answer Xi'er's doubts.

"Actually, Bronya is very timid. She is very afraid of being alone and losing things around her. She... is actually far from being as strong as she shows us."

Looking into Xi'er's eyes, Bai Zhi spoke slowly.

Everyone has a strong side, but equally, everyone also has a weak side.

Brave people can also be timid, and timid people can be brave for whatever they do.

At least in Bai Zhi's view, Bronya is actually very timid.

Chapter 856: Leave a mark belonging to Bronya on you

"Are you leaving?" Looking at Bai Zhi with one hand in her pocket in front of her, Bronya looked at her and finally asked.

"Well, there is still an agreement waiting for me to fulfill. It won't take long. I will be back in a month at most." Bai Zhi said slowly as she reached out and touched Bronya's little head.

A breakup is better than a wedding, not to mention that she and Bronya spend less time together and more time apart.

And now, she and Bronya are still enemies on the surface.

Without stopping Bai Zhi's movements, Bronya allowed her hair to be messed up by Bai Zhi.

"The hairstyle is messed up, tie it up again for Bronya." When Bai Zhi took back her hand, Bronya reached out decisively to untie the hair tie, letting her hair fall down, and then said to Bai Zhi confidently.

"Okay~" Seeing Bronya's matter-of-fact look, Bai Zhi took the headband from Bronya's hand, walked behind Bronya and slowly arranged Bronya's hair.

"Do you have to go?" Bronya asked in a low voice, lowering her head and turning the bracelet on her wrist.

"Well, it's an agreed upon thing after all." Bai Zhi answered slowly, not forgetting the three-day agreement between herself and Alicia.
