"Can we talk outside..."
A Tai's voice was rather low, his head slightly bowed.
Yu Sheng looked at A Tai and said softly, "Actually, you don't have to say anything."
"In Sin City, everyone has their own secrets."
"Many secrets don't need to be told. They're your own private business."
"When you no longer have any secrets unknown to outsiders, you've truly placed your life in someone else's hands."
"Whether you live or die... depends entirely on their mood."
His expression serious, Yu Sheng spoke slowly, looking into A Tai's eyes. "So, let your heart decide."
"As long as there's nothing wrong with your heart, that's enough."
A Tai stood silently in the moonlight.
His breathing was somewhat heavy.
Only after a while did he speak, his voice a little hoarse. "Boss Yu, are you willing to trust me?"
"My parents died when I was young. You're all like family to me."
"No matter what... I'll never hurt any of you."
Yu Sheng looked at A Tai and smiled in the moonlight. "Once, whenever it came to anyone or anything, I would always say... I don't believe it."
"But now, I'm willing to trust you."
"Because you're my... friend."
Yu Sheng's voice was very soft, his tone carrying no particular emotional emphasis.
Just as always, it seemed he was only ever stating a fact.
A Tai took a deep breath, his eyes slightly red, and nodded firmly toward Yu Sheng.
Friends...
This wasn't just something scarce for Yu Sheng. For him...
Perhaps it was just as scarce.
"Get some sleep."
Yu Sheng stood up and spoke as though offhandedly, as if he really had only been sitting there to admire the moonlight.
A Tai scratched his head bashfully, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I acted a bit like a girl today."
