Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

The robin looked at the firefly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively.

"Miss Liuying, do you... like Zhuqing?"

"Like it."

Faced with this question, Liuying answered without any hesitation.

"..."

As if guessing what Robin was about to ask next, Firefly continued, "Although my mission in life is to fight, I also have a heart. I am no longer the Grammer Iron Cavalry who only knows how to fight."

"Miss Mockingbird asked the same question Kafka asked me a long time ago, and my answer then was, I don't know."

The girl smiled.

"Having just woken up, I really don't understand what love means. I only know that Zhu Qing is very important. But like Zhu Qing said, I still have time, and I can still learn what I don't know."

"Over the past few years, I have made some progress. I know what it means to like someone."

The girl was very frank, and the robin didn't even sense a hint of shyness from her emotions, as if she was really frank in saying these things.

This is a talent that the little bird can't envy.

There was a trace of struggle in the girl's eyes; she was hesitating.

She is not like Liuying, who can easily reveal her true feelings, even though she knows that this conversation probably will not be known to a third person.

The two of them would probably only meet once. After the Pinocchio incident, if it weren't for Zhu Qing, their lives would probably never have any intersection again. Even if Zhu Qing was there, it would probably be difficult for them to see each other.

But...how can it be so easy to speak out your true thoughts?

The robin hesitated for a long time, and she didn't really listen to what Firefly said praising Zhuqing.

It was not until Firefly noticed the robin's abnormality and looked at her with curiosity that she whispered.

"I like him, too."

Firefly blinked.

The robin paused for a few seconds and then looked at the firefly with a puzzled look.

Firefly blinked again.

"You...aren't you going to say anything?"

Upon hearing this, Liuying smiled.

"I knew."

Ever since the three of them met, Liuying noticed the way Robin looked at Zhuqing. Liuying knew this kind of look. She was just simple, not stupid, and she could see it.

"..."

For some reason, the robin suddenly felt as if he had punched cotton.

It felt like my throat was being strangled, and I couldn't breathe in or out.

"Miss Mockingbird, are you asking why I still treat you this way?"

Robin nodded. Although she felt restrained, she knew that the girl in front of her was not really ignorant.

"Well... although Kafka said that this matter cannot be told to outsiders, I think Miss Robin should help me keep this secret."

Hearing this, the robin showed a curious look. She was a little confused about what the firefly was saying.

"Miss Robin, do you know why I joined the Star Core Hunters?"

The bird shook her head, she couldn't guess.

“It’s actually very simple…”

Liuying is still smiling.

"I want to live."

"..."

......

Chapter 127: I Won’t Let Go

Robin's heart trembled. She couldn't understand why this very powerful star core hunter in front of her would have such a wish.

"Strange, isn't it? But that's really all I want..."

Liuying's eyes dimmed a little, she lowered her head, and her voice was not as loud as before.

"Atrophy. People with this condition experience a chronic, irreversible disintegration of their physical structure. This means you can feel yourself slowly disappearing, even though the disappearance is barely noticeable."

"In the real world, I spend most of my time in a medical pod to alleviate the symptoms."

"..."

Listening to Firefly's description, the robin opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

She could truly feel that she was disappearing, and even within this limited time, she had to lie in the medical cabin most of the time. Just from this description, Robin could not imagine how heavy it was.

But Liuying beside her didn't seem to be in such a heavy mood. She raised her head with a carefree look on her face.

"I was born a weapon. After Grammer's demise, I still have this much time to see the world with my own eyes. I am already very satisfied."

"Even if the ending is already determined, before that, each of us has the right to choose, this is what he told me."

Firefly looked at the robin and said, "When my world fell into darkness, it was he who extended his hand to me and led me to this wider world."

"So, how could I refuse to walk toward this light?"

Firefly's life is short and she has no time to be shy, so there is nothing wrong with being a little bold.

The short life of a firefly can also be very brilliant, even if it is only a moment of splendor, but as long as it can be remembered, at least it can prove that it has been there.

Robin's two hands were tangled together, and the constantly rubbing fingers proved that she was not in a calm mood at the moment.

She raised her head and looked at Liuying. "Compared to yours, my story seems a little dull."

Her past was not beautiful, but it was far less heavy than that of Firefly.

"Miss Mockingbird, don't feel bad for me. I'm actually very happy right now. This is the first time I've said these words out loud. Well, I feel much more relaxed now."

Liuying smiled and said, "There are too many things that people cannot change, so we should cherish the present even more. This is what a friend of Zhuqing told me. It makes a lot of sense, right?"

Hearing this, the robin couldn't help but smile.

A strong and brave girl, if it weren't for their current relationship, she felt that they would definitely become good friends.

Unfortunately, things are impermanent.

"Miss Liuying, have you ever thought about visiting some places with advanced medical care?"

"I've been there. Even Si Zhuqing, the Luofu Dan Ding master famous for his medical skills, has accompanied me there. It's a pity that they don't have a solution there. Even if there was, I can't wait that long."

Liuying sighed softly. Since then, she has become more open-minded.

There are very few places that are stronger than Dandingsi, and even if there are, the results will probably be similar.

As if sensing Robin's gaze, Liuying explained, "It was some time ago when I was in Luofu. Zhuqing was in danger, so I went over to help."

As long as it didn't involve things that couldn't be disclosed, the little firefly really didn't hide anything. This frank attitude made the robin a little overwhelmed.

She thought of many possibilities, even the possibility of being hung up and beaten by Liuying, but she never expected that the girl in front of her would be so frank.

So frankly that she didn't know what to do.

She originally wanted to ask Liuying about the condition, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.

"I'm sorry, Miss Liuying."

There was apology in the robin's eyes, "Even though I know what you've been through,...I don't want to give up."

She felt sympathy for the girl, but that didn't mean she would let go.

"Hmm? Why would Miss Robin give up?"

Liuying blinked, seeming a little confused.

"I'm not telling you this to make you sympathize with me. Aren't we just chatting?"

"..."

Xiaoniao covered her forehead with one hand; she had a headache.

She had never encountered such a difficult "enemy" in her life.

She felt like no matter what she did, she had a frustrating feeling like punching cotton, and the most important thing was that she couldn't do anything excessive.

Little Mianhua standing by clearly didn't have this self-awareness, and her tone was very relaxed.

"There won't be a life-and-death situation between us, so there doesn't seem to be any need to treat each other as enemies, right?"

"..."

If there was no Bamboo Green, the robin would really want to be friends with her, but the pity is that as long as Bamboo Green is around, they are destined not to be friends as long as they have not given up.

"I'm sorry, but I probably can't accept being friends with you."

The bird shook her head, she didn't want to give up.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we don't treat each other like enemies when we meet. I've seen that in movies."

"You think too much. I can't beat you..."

Robin pursed his lips. Judging from Firefly and her strength, if the two of them really became enemies, there was a high probability that Firefly would not even need Sam's equipment and would beat her to death with one hand.

Fortunately, Liuying didn't have such an idea.

Liuying, standing by, couldn't help scratching her head. "Actually, there's no need to think too much about this issue, Miss Robin. Neither Zhuqing nor I can be sure which will come first, tomorrow or an accident."

Liuying was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether she should tell the robin about this, and she didn't know whether Zhuqing had told the robin about this.

"Miss Robin, there's actually one thing I don't know if you know. The reason Zhu Qing is cooperating with us is because we're going to do something that could be considered suicide."

"Few people know about this, and I can't tell you what it is specifically. I just want to tell you that even if we think very far, we may not be able to go that far."

"..."

The robin paused, and she was silent for dozens of seconds before she made some movement.

Yes, she had known for a long time that Zhu Qing's life was destined to be full of dangers, and the person she loved was destined to make her watch him walk into the abyss one day without being able to do anything.

The problems she is concerned about may not even need to be solved.

The girl closed her eyes and took several deep breaths before slowly opening them and looking at Liuying.

The robin has experienced many dangerous moments, but compared with the girl in front of him, it is obviously nothing. The living environment is different, and the mentality is naturally different.

If she wants to keep up with Zhu Qing, she should adapt to this kind of life where the next visit may be a farewell forever.

Cherish the present, it is indeed a very meaningful saying.

"Is this the reason Miss Liuying is so open-minded?"

Liuying smiled and shook her head.

"No, as long as I can see him, I will be very happy."

A smile returned to the robin's face.

"Liuying, can I call you that?"

"Of course, I really like people calling me by this name, uh...but don't call me that after twelve o'clock, because I'm still wanted by my family."

The robin couldn't help but laugh. "Thank you. Your words have inspired me a lot. If there is a chance in the future, I really hope we can become friends."

Compared with the girl in front of her, her previous ideas were obviously a bit "petty". If they really did it that way, neither of them would end up with anything good, and their hard-earned time would be wasted in vain.

"But...even after saying all this, I still won't give Zhuqing to you."

Understanding is one thing, but a person’s thoughts are not something that can be changed so easily.

Liuying just smiled and didn't continue.

......

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhu Qing looked at the incoming call with a hint of doubt on his face, but even with some doubts, he still answered the call.
