"Welcome back, Wang Ji."
"Hello, General Lian Feng."
Juxia Airport
Wang Ji, tall and slender in a neat Camouflage Uniform, walked forward with a smile to greet General Lian Feng, who was standing gracefully outside the airport.
She was dressed in a trim uniform, smiling charmingly, completely unlike her usual detached and serene self. "Are you interested in finding a place to chat?"
She pointed to the Helicopter parked in the distance.
"What if I said no?" he said casually, glancing at the Airplane and noticing Jess. He turned his head, curious. "Why didn't he come down to greet me?"
"He doesn't think much of you." Lian Feng smiled, speaking frankly. "He doesn't like soldiers who are willful, disobedient, temperamental, undisciplined, who leave without saying a word, proactively lose contact, and have no respect for their superiors."
"Mm." Wang Ji nodded upon hearing this. "I think he's right. I don't like soldiers like that either. People like that don't deserve to be soldiers."
He looked serious, clearly in strong agreement.
Lian Feng chuckled, clearly not expecting him to be so straightforward.
"Let's go. Or do you really want to take a taxi back yourself?" She pointed and gestured for Wang Ji to follow her.
He chuckled and didn't argue.
He walked leisurely alongside Lian Feng, showing no awkwardness at all, relaxed and casual.
"I don't believe you just took a casual stroll, but indeed, no news has come from The Other Side of the Ocean..."
She pondered for a moment, then spoke candidly. "We still can't figure out what you went to do, but I still hope you can have more trust in everyone."
"I already trust everyone enough." Wang Ji was still unconcerned, speaking frankly. "I never want to be rude, and I've tried to understand the meaning of Super God Academy. But, if you'll forgive my bluntness, you've never trusted me."
Lian Feng was instantly speechless...
"You haven't trusted me, yet you've tried your best to keep me at Super God Academy to wait for war, even though I'm willing.
But you continue to try to quickly influence me, reform me, even wanting to completely plan me, even... control me.
Perhaps it doesn't count as control, but isn't there a danger to me? Do you really think that's okay?
Is it that I don't trust you, or that you don't trust me?"
Lian Feng listened to these words in a daze, speechless, and was shocked to discover that Wang Ji's words seemed to hide a lot of information. She couldn't understand how he knew this information.
Did he guess? Or has he really learned so much common sense?
"Don't use those you suspect, and don't suspect those you use. Either use, or don't use. I am the subordinate, this is not something I need to think about." Wang Ji said each word distinctly.
"As a soldier in the ordinary sense, I am definitely unqualified. But I believe that in the world of Super Soldiers, I shouldn't be considered out of line.
A world may have the rules of that world, and I don't believe that the original rules can be completely substituted and standardized.
And you don't trust me. Even though I've clearly said that I won't cause trouble, even though this is my normal vacation, even though there's no news from The Other Side of the Ocean, you still appeared here, wanting to know what I did."
He shook his head and chuckled softly. "How should I put this..."
Without trust between each other, no matter how much is said, it's all in vain.
He couldn't allow himself to do nothing when he could easily enhance his abilities, nor would he choose the difficult path over the easy one by begging others.
He wouldn't entrust his lifeblood to others to prove anything.
Nor would he actively expose his private information to prove anything.
Moreover, many things within his reach, things he needed now, couldn't be obtained from Lian Feng, so saying more was useless.
Opening his mouth would involve questioning... pointless.
"If you're holding onto the idea of pulling me into Super God Academy and then wanting to do some tests on me as soon as possible to feel at ease, I hope we can part ways amicably as soon as possible."
Wang Ji lifted his leg and sat in the helicopter, then continued, "Otherwise, I might just stay like this... to be honest, I feel quite tired too.
What do you think?"
"Actually, you must be tired too~"
In the blink of an eye, the city was lit up with lights.
Wang Ji quietly watched the traffic outside the window, the fiery night scene, his eyes full of tranquility and peace, his eyes held the deep, boundless night.
"There's no one you can entrust everything to, no one you can confidently leave your back to.
So, you initially wanted to be a lone wolf, because you're used to this kind of life... so subconsciously, you wanted to do that.
But, you're still looking for your own love, and you found it so quickly."
A voice that was already familiar entered his ears, he wasn't in a daze, so he wasn't startled awake.
"I still think it's strange that you took the time to invite me here," Wang Ji slowly turned his head and said, looking at Lian Feng in a wine-red suit across from him.
This was a Western restaurant, fortunately not a popular dating spot.
Private room, candlelight, red wine, Western food, fragrance.
"There's no other way, a child who lacks love, has been persecuted, and doesn't believe anything no matter what you say, it's never a waste of time to spend some time giving special care."
Lian Feng twirled her wine glass, gently shook it, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Having shed her military uniform, her words became more easygoing, if one had to say, she was like a mature older sister not much older than Wang Ji.
"Actually, sometimes I think you've misunderstood something, I'm not very pitiful, nor am I as suspicious as you think, I'm just thinking about the problem from the perspective I should have at this moment."
Wang Ji looked at the bright and moving General Lian Feng across from him, and said calmly, "If I hadn't seen through your identities, I wouldn't have thought too much about it. Or rather, if Ge Xiao Lun or Zhao Xin suddenly knew your background, they wouldn't be much better than me.
Every earthling probably thinks that way."
Lian Feng was slightly surprised, her eyes suddenly filled with understanding, and then she nodded affirmatively, "That's true... that is indeed the standard thinking of you earthlings."
"I've been trying to understand you in a positive way, including Leina, and Super God Academy."
Wang Ji's voice was as gentle and peaceful as ever, even Lian Feng's eyes suddenly became a little dazed.
He was wearing a white suit, looking like an adult, and he was indeed handsome and dashing.
"Now, from the bottom of my heart, I believe that Leina is kind, and I don't think you harbor evil intentions. And I'm still judging, it's possible that your kindness may exceed my era's understanding."
"Maybe one day I will sincerely appreciate your help to our Earth, of course, maybe my words carry little weight and are not worth mentioning."
Wang Ji's words greatly surprised General Lian Feng.
Perhaps sometimes, preconceived notions do indeed cause people to miss correct judgments.
"You're right, I do feel very tired, and I also want someone to completely rely on, so I chose Qi Lin."
Wang Ji shook his head slightly: "I also don't think that having some superpowers makes me invincible. I also know that there is always someone better.
I know that Leina can incinerate me with a wave of her hand.
Being with some new friends and comrades, I also feel very good...
And I still say the same thing, from beginning to end, the fact that I don't trust you is not the problem at all.
In the end, this is my home.
Your distrust of me is the real problem."
