Armor: I can only summon the general
Chapter 718: Just like the past
Xi Zhao walked into his room and saw Bing'er lying on the sofa with her slender legs resting on the armrest. She was holding a wine glass in her hand. On the table was the bottle of wine that he and Hua He had drunk.
This was the first formal meeting between the two after they escaped from the film world. After leaving the film world, Bing'er went directly to Huahe's bookstore and stayed there.
Later, when Xizhao was marching into the underground world of the East District, Bing'er brought Qiao Shefei to help him, but the two did not meet that time.
The two grew up together, but under the high-pressure rule of King Kai, they had to remain restrained at all times. Now that they have finally escaped from the shadow world, they have also liberated their nature.
Therefore, as soon as they met, Bing'er started teasing Xizhao.
"Our big brother Xizhao is back. Wow, you are living a very comfortable life now. Look at this luxurious decoration and these luxury goods. You are quite good at enjoying life. Why didn't I realize before that you like this style?"
Hearing Bing'er say this, Xizhao just smiled and shook his head, turned and walked to the cabinet on the side, took out a box of milk, tore a hole in it and poured it into the glass.
"Haha, how can I understand the meaning of enjoyment? These were left by the previous owner of the bar. I thought it would be too troublesome to replace them, so I kept them all.
We have been in the film industry since we were young, and over the years we have developed certain habits that we cannot change. Even if you give me a mountain of gold, I will just build a shack next to it and sleep there."
As Xizhao spoke, he sat down on the sofa on the other side with the milk in his hand. He took a sip of the milk in the cup, then raised his head and looked at Bing'er opposite him.
"How have you been lately? You look much better. Hua He and the others must have taken good care of you."
"You're right. Hua He and the others really take good care of me. With Qiao Shefei by my side, there's no safer place than here. As long as I'm not in the film industry, I'll be able to live well anywhere."
Bing'er bent her legs slightly and lay on her side on the sofa, holding the wine glass and looking at Xizhao with a dazed look, a charming smile on her face.
Xi Zhao was like a gentleman who remained calm in the face of temptation. He just glanced at her lightly and then shifted his gaze without lingering for too long.
There was no way. The two of them were too familiar with each other, almost to the point of being disgusted with each other. Even though Bing'er was indeed very beautiful now, even Xizhao, who grew up with her, was seeing her for the first time.
However, Xi Zhao did not have any illusions because he had seen Bing'er in a miserable state in the past and was deeply impressed.
When Xizhao looked at Bing'er's watery eyes, he would always think of the time when Bing'er was a child and had just started training. She was punched so hard that her eyes turned into panda eyes and she sat on the ground crying.
Not only did she cry, she also subconsciously wiped her tears with her hands, which ended up touching the injured part, causing more pain and she cried even harder.
Xizhao raised his head and looked towards the chandelier on the ceiling. While averting his gaze, he was also thinking about some sad things to distract himself, otherwise he would laugh.
After a while, Xizhao finally calmed down and a gentle smile returned to his face.
Bing'er on the opposite side did not tease Xizhao anymore. She supported herself on the sofa and sat up. She put the empty wine glass on the coffee table, opened the bottle and poured half a glass of wine. She took a sip at a time in her hand.
"Why did you suddenly call me here today? Is there something important?"
Bing'er crossed her legs and looked at Xizhao with a smile on her face and asked.
Hearing this, Xizhao also shifted his gaze to Bing'er. It was time to get to the main topic of today.
"I called you here for something very important. I'll tell you the details later. Let me get down to business first."
Bing'er heard some hidden meaning in Xizhao's words, as if something really big had happened. She immediately put away her frivolous look, put down her wine glass and listened seriously.
Seeing that she was getting serious, Xi Zhao continued, “After leaving the Shadow Realm, I took two Shadow Warriors with me to start conquering the underground world of City D, intending to sort out this intricate gray area again.
The purpose is very simple. I want to intervene from another level and clean up the dirty corners to make D city cleaner and people's lives more stable.
I have now taken over the East District. At my request, some illegal activities have disappeared here, there are fewer bad people on the streets, and the security environment has improved a lot.
Judging from the current situation, my idea is possible. If we can maintain this status quo, as long as those shadow warriors do not change their minds, the environment of D City will definitely be completely new in two years."
Hearing this, Bing'er couldn't help but clap for Xizhao.
"Okay, you still think ahead. I have always thought that you are a man who can do great things. Now you have indeed done such a great thing. So did you call me here to ask me to help you do some dirty work?"
Xi Zhao quickly shook his head, "You think too much of me. If there is any dirty work, I will do it myself. Why do I need you?"
"Then why did you ask me to come? Is it just to see if I'm doing well?"
Seeing that Bing'er seemed a little impatient, Xizhao quickly comforted her:
"Don't worry, just listen to me slowly. There have been a lot of things happening in the Armor Base recently, and the film industry is also in turmoil. I may not be able to take care of this during this period of time.
I called you here today to ask if you could take over for me for a while. With you here, I can focus on my other work."
"That's it?"
Bing'er raised the corner of her mouth and smiled contemptuously, saying calmly: "I thought it was a big deal, and it made me nervous for a while.
We can be considered childhood sweethearts. Since you have been taking care of me for so many years, I will definitely help you.
But I want to make it clear to you that I am tired of the life of fighting and killing, and I just want to live a peaceful life. I can help you this time, but it does not mean that I will completely join you. "
Xizhao did not refuse this. After all, everyone has their own aspirations. He grew up with Bing'er and naturally he could not force Bing'er to do anything.
The reason why Bing'er was asked to come today is because Hua He fell into a coma and no one knows when he will wake up. Xizhao needs to guard the base wholeheartedly and has no time to take care of other things, so he asked Bing'er to take over for him temporarily.
As long as Hua He wakes up, their pillar will be back, someone will be in charge of the base's affairs, and Xizhao can return to his own life.
In other words, even if Hua He wakes up tomorrow morning, Xi Zhao will immediately return to the Night Bar and let Bing'er live her own life and live the peaceful life she wants.
The matter had been made clear, Bing'er had agreed, Xizhao's goal had been achieved, he raised the cup of milk and gestured to Bing'er.
Bing'er also politely raised her wine glass and clinked it with Xizhao's. As the sound of glass colliding rang out, their eyes met in mid-air, and a long-lost sense of tacit understanding surged in their hearts.
