Ji Ling looked at him calmly and said slowly, "Of course I know what I am talking about."
Ning Yu closed his eyes and opened them again. His black eyes were cold and he said in a low voice, "What did you hear outside?"
Ji Ling pursed his lips.
Ning Yu said firmly, "No matter what you heard, don't take it to heart. I will deal with it."
From the moment he embarked on this path, it was destined to be a lonely, bloody, and cruel road. He could only move forward and could not turn back. He was always walking on the edge of life and death and shouldering everyone's expectations alone.
This was his own choice. He would not blame anyone.
And no matter who won between Ka Luosi and Jing Sui, the Resistance Army must be eliminated. They were an existence that could not be tolerated.
Even without Ji Ling, even if it was like his previous life … Jing Sui still would not let go of the Resistance Army.
In this life, it was just a little earlier.
Ji Ling smiled, "You should understand that if I go back, I can at least persuade one of them to temporarily stop hunting you and the Resistance Army. I can also divert their conflict to buy more time for you and more people to escape."
Ning Yu took a deep breath. His chest rose and fell slightly. He looked at Ji Ling gently and calmly, "I don't need you to do this. I can protect you, and I can protect them …"
"You can't. You can't protect everyone —" Ji Ling interrupted him. His eyes were indifferent. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, "Besides, I don't need your protection at all. Whether it is His Majesty or Ka Luosi, they are all very good to me and are willing to protect me. Even if I go back to Jing Sui, I can still be a high and mighty noble, or even his queen. I can live a life of luxury. I don't need to hide my identity and wander around here. How do you know … I don't want to go back? "
Pain finally appeared in Ning Yu's eyes. He walked towards Ji Ling step by step. His eyes were as dark as the abyss. His voice was low and hoarse, wrapped in anger from the depths of his chest. He said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't always stand out stupidly and do things that overestimate your capabilities! "
This was the first time Ji Ling had seen Ning Yu so angry. In the past, even when he provoked him, Ning Yu would always be indifferent, as if nothing Ji Ling did would be able to affect him in the slightest. He was always so gentle, calm, and rational … but now, he looked so fierce and angry.
However, Ji Ling was not afraid at all.
He raised his head and smiled. His voice was erratic and as sharp as a knife. "It doesn't matter whether I'm overestimating myself or not. Isn't it important that this is the best choice for you? Everything you do is full of schemes and calculations. You, the one who clearly calculates everything, this time … "
Ji Ling said word by word, "Gabriel, you disappoint me."
Ning Yu's face suddenly turned pale. She almost lost her balance and staggered back a step.
He stared at the youth in front of him.
The youth's words easily exposed the deepest secret in his heart.
This was the first time he allowed himself to be dominated by emotions. He didn't scheme, didn't make use of … to get close to someone he shouldn't be close to. He wanted to protect him.
He did something irrational.
But this time, the price was so heavy that he couldn't bear it.
Ning Yu squeezed his eyes shut to hide the anger, pain, and sorrow in them. He said slowly, "You don't love him …"
Ji Ling laughed, his tone indifferent. "What does it matter if I love him or not? There are so many people in this world. Are they all together because of love? Such naive words really don't sound like something you would say … "
Life, freedom, money, ideals, career. Everyone has their own balance in their heart … Everyone has their own balance in their heart. There are things that they think are more important than love.
For Ji Ling, going home was far more important than love.
He wouldn't fall in love with anyone here. Since they were all the same, what difference did it make who he was with?
So he didn't mind doing some things that he could do. Maybe it was just for him to go home with peace of mind.
Ning Yu pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a bitter and self-deprecating smile. Yes, this was not something he would say.
In his eyes, freedom and faith … were much more important than love. So even if he was moved, he chose to stay away. Even if he was reluctant, he chose to let go.
Time and time again, he let the youth who shook his heart leave his world.
But at this moment, when some kind of emotion that he had never felt before was attacking his rationality and making him make a wrong judgment, he understood that sometimes it was not easy to be rational. The reason why human nature had weaknesses was that humans were emotional creatures after all, and not completely rational machines.
Even if he knew that abandoning one person could save more people, he couldn't easily cut out the person in his heart and be indifferent.
He didn't want to lose him again.
