176: Chapter 62 Peace and Tranquility 176: Chapter 62 Peace and Tranquility At night, Fixed Wing District.

Shiyu Lianyi and Kardesia walked on the road leading to the same apartment building.

“I see…

I see…”

The woman in the top hat nodded and said, “So the three of you went to fight the Dragon Disaster two weeks ago.”

Shiyu Lianyi nodded in confirmation.

Shiyu Lianyi’s right arm was locked.

Shiyu Lianyi felt a tingling numbness in his arm.

“Say it!

Why didn’t you take me with you!!!”

The inquiry from the blonde girl reminded him of the roar of a lion.

“Giant dragons are terrifying, and I was afraid you would get hurt.”

“Lianyi!

You know this is what I love most!”

That’s exactly why I couldn’t let you get involved.

Shiyu Lianyi realized that arguing further was futile and could only say in a subdued voice, “Please forgive me.”

“Don’t keep it from me next time.”

“Yes, yes, sure.”

Kardesia released her boyfriend’s arm, crossed her chest, and asked, “How many things have you been hiding from me over these years?”

“…A lot.”

“Explain them to me one by one.”

“If that’s the case, Kardesia will have to walk with me until the clear dawn of tomorrow.”

The statement was somewhat exaggerated.

By estimates, it would probably last until well into the night.

“No problem~ As long as you’re by my side, if any troublemakers who don’t know any better come looking for trouble, it’ll be Lianyi’s job to take care of them.”

The biggest gang in the city was just smashed by you a few hours ago, so finding a thug brave enough to annoy you is now a tough task indeed.

Even so, he replied as usual.

“Okay, leave it to me.”

The girl seemed dissatisfied again.

“Lianyi, you’re still the same as before, even though we’ve started dating.”

“Should I change my style?”

“No, don’t you dare turn into one of those domineering CEO-type, muscular tough guys with sunglasses.”

For a moment, he couldn’t quite imagine what kind of person she was describing.

“So, should I remain the same as before?”

“No~~~~ You still have to change a bit!”

That really troubled him.

She demanded change without direction but also expected him to stay the same as before.

What a capricious girl you are.

He mentally braced himself.

With a bit of hesitation and reluctance, he reached out his hand and gently took the girl’s hand.

“Like this?”

Kardesia snuggled against his shoulder.

“This is perfect.”

He truly felt the happiness, an indescribable joy.

If he could make this moment last forever by giving everything else up, he would willingly do so.

“…You really are a capricious girl.”

“Well, it’s because I have someone who will always indulge me, isn’t it?”

He escorted the girl to the apartment entrance, and as usual, they began to talk about their friends.

“It feels like there’s progress between Gongsun Ce and Little Qian.”

“I think so, they’ve been through tough battles together too.”

“What is this kind of talk!

It’s like you’re saying a battle is a date.”

“For those of us living in this city, battling is part of our daily lives.”

“I don’t want that kind of daily life.

Do you think Qiluo will tell us her story?”

“I think she will.”

In the city of the sky, not interfering with each other, not prying into each other’s affairs, and carefully maintaining a cautious distance in interpersonal relationships without disturbing one another was common sense.

No one knew whether the people around them hid any secrets.

No one knew whether those secrets could cause harm to others or themselves.

However, after going through this day, Shiyu Lianyi had a new realization.

“I think…

Being sincere with each other is what makes true friends.”

Kardesia tapped his face vigorously.

“That’s common sense!

Common sense!

Lianyi!

Have you stayed in dark corners so long that even this kind of common sense is expressed in a tone of profound realization?”

Thinking back to the flames in the movie theater this morning, he said with a wry smile.

“In this respect, Kardesia, you haven’t done too well either.”

“I am…

umm…

People need to grow!

You have to leave me enough room to grow!”

“Yes, yes, of course.”

He stopped at the entrance, watching Kardesia go towards the apartment door.

“Lianyi, the next club activity will be a reflection meeting about dating operations.

Tell those three guys they can’t miss it!”

She certainly wouldn’t let this go.

He could almost picture the awkward scene in the club room already.

“Okay, okay.”

Shiyu Lianyi stood in the shadow outside the streetlight.

He touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, “Next time…

I’ll do even better.”

Kardesia burst out laughing, turned her head, and said, “I’ll be waiting for you!”

Her smiling face was brightly radiant, lighting up the young man in the shadows.

·

A few minutes later.

Shiyu Ling had changed back into a tank top and shorts, sitting on the couch drinking a beer.

After running around outside all day, she had just settled down for the evening and eaten a bowl of rice noodles when she saw the Ming Guest causing a havoc in the central district.

The female Hunter truly understood where that unruffled composure of a certain gray-haired young man, facing mountains collapsing without change in countenance, came from.

She had only lived here for two weeks and had already seen so much; Gongsun Ce, who had lived here for who knows how many years, must have had his nerves trained to monster level.

Therefore, when she learned that Gongsun Ce had gone to clash with the Ming Guest, she was not surprised at all, merely thinking: Ah~ that’s something he would do~ with a simple sigh.

Now the huntress who had had a hard day finally could rest.

She had just turned on the TV, looking for some enjoyment, when she heard the sound of keys at the door.

“I’m~ back~”

The landlord who entered was grinning like a fool.

“Ah, who is this lovesick college girl?

My landlord is supposed to be a bachelor.”

“That was then, this is now.”

Shiyu Ling gulped down her beer, only to notice that the blonde girl at the door had taken off her top hat, pinching the brim, seemingly very shy for some reason.
