Quick Wear: The Beautiful, Strong and Tragic Path of a Swordsman

"Brother Xu, why are you so hypocritical? When I talk to you, you just nod at most, but when the captain talks to you, you can talk for such a long time. Do you hate me?" Yan Zhi asked the question directly in his mind.

He never beats around the bush. If Xu Yan really hates him, he can just say it directly. The worst that can happen is that he will stay away from him and stop talking to him. He doesn't like this feeling of being neither here nor there.

Xu Yan, who was still sad, stopped when he heard this. He looked at the big boy who was frowning and looking at him calmly.

He really envied people who were confident and dared to speak and act.

He opened his mouth to explain, but his brain, which always crashed when it came to socializing, went blank. In the end, he said almost in self-destruction, "So don't talk to me anymore."

Everyone around him will eventually hate him anyway, so it’s better to hate him from the beginning.

This way he won't have unnecessary expectations and disappointments.

Anyway, he can live well alone, he has long been used to it.

Xu Yan kept convincing himself in his heart.

But as he watched the older boy with a sad and disappointed face walk past him and to the front to lead the way, and then met Jiang Qingze's disapproving gaze, the words he kept repeating in his heart seemed so powerless and pale.

He avoided Jiang Qingze's gaze, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

Jiang Qingze saw the young man, who was taller than him, lowered his head slightly and stopped talking. His silver-gray hair was drooping and he seemed to have lost all his energy. He sighed and said, "Why do you say that? You obviously like Yan Zhi, right?"

After all, in the past, if someone he didn’t like talked to Xu Yan, he wouldn’t even nod his head and would completely ignore them.

Xu Yan shook his head almost reflexively to deny it, "No, he's annoying. He talks a lot."

The hearing of people with special abilities is very sensitive. Yan Zhi originally thought that this brother was a tsundere, but now he really felt sad.

Does he really talk a lot and is annoying?

If it were in the past, Jiang Qingze might have tried to find a way to correct Xu Yan's awkward personality, but now he was too lazy to care. He had already done his best for this man.

The three of them walked in silence all the way to the room where they found Xu Yan. This time Jiang Qingze was much calmer than the first time he came, and his observation ability had returned. He saw that there was a silver password box in the corner where Xu Yan had been sitting before.

Xu Yan pushed aside the two people blocking his way, walked quickly over, picked up the box and checked it, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one had damaged it. Then he took out a pair of silver handcuffs from the drawer of the laboratory and directly buckled the box around his wrists.

Seeing this, Yan Zhi wanted to speak again, but when he thought of what Xu Yan had said to him before, he closed his mouth again.

Xu Yan took a coat from his locker and put it on his wrists to cover the handcuffs, then returned to the two of them, "Let's go, thank you."

Jiang Qingze looked Xu Yan up and down and suggested, "Since we are here, why don't I accompany you to your place here to get some clothes to change into. We have to travel quickly and meet up with my other companions later, so I don't have time to find clothes for you."

Xu Yan nodded silently.

So they went to Xu Yan's room. The door of the room had been destroyed long ago, but fortunately the zombies were not interested in clothes, so the room was actually still intact.

Jiang Qingze saw at first glance the American shorthair cat pendant that Xu Yan had placed on the bedside.

That was the birthday present he gave to Xu Yan on Xu Yan’s birthday. It was a hidden model in a blind box set. It was very expensive and rare.

The chubby, cute and silly cat has its neck hooked by a metal ring. It has a terrified expression, its big black eyes are wide open, and its short limbs are swinging in panic. When you pick it up by the black and white braided rope, it really looks like you are picking up a terrified cat.

However, Xu Yan didn't even look at it. He walked straight to the closet, took out a backpack and started packing clothes into it.

Jiang Qingze's originally excited heart sank. He took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket and walked out of the room. "I'm going to have a cigarette."

"Okay, Captain." Yanzhi answered obediently.

When neither of them noticed, the kitten on the bedside table disappeared.

When Jiang Qingze came back after smoking a cigarette, Xu Yan was already standing at the door waiting with his bag slung over one shoulder.

Taking a look at the backpack that was not even full, Jiang Qingze couldn't help but ask, "Is this all you brought?"

Xu Yan nodded silently again.

Seeing that this man was unwilling to speak, Jiang Qingze didn't want to make trouble anymore and walked to the front again to lead the way, and Yan Zhi had no choice but to fall behind Xu Yan to protect him.

Xu Yan's Adam's apple rolled, he opened his mouth, and the negative words in his mind began to repeat again. In the end, he still failed to seize the opportunity to apologize created by Jiang Qingze for him, and fell into complete autism.

If you can’t speak, you’d better not speak, Xu Yan said to himself.

'Wuwuwuwu.' 937 couldn't help crying out loud.

The acting skills of our executive officer are much better than those young handsome guys who can only stare and have a blank expression. It is so pitiful to see this poor little boy who appears to be cold and sharp-tongued on the surface but is actually socially anxious and autistic!

However, this time Xu Yan had the foresight to block 937 in advance, and he would unlock it when he needed it, so that it would not always interfere with his mission.

They returned to the car in silence and Xu Yan fastened his seat belt almost immediately. Jiang Qingze drove too wildly and he was a little afraid of being thrown out of the window.

However, this time Jiang Qingze drove very steadily, and Xu Yan fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

After Jiang Qingze saw through the rearview mirror that the person had fallen asleep, he slowed down the car even more.

The main reason was that Xu Yan’s tired look was too obvious.

Especially the way he kept frowning unconsciously, which made him look like he was in a bad mood, but in fact he was probably enduring the pain. No matter how well he concealed it, his body's instinctive reaction could not be deceived.

How did this person end up like this? He was so healthy before.

"Captain, you said that you and Brother Xu were college classmates. Was he so... difficult to get along with when you were in college?" Yan Zhi carefully considered his words and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qingze recalled, his mind full of negative comments about Xu Yan from people around him, and nodded.

"Does he have no friends?" Yan Zhi frowned. "I feel like it's because Brother Xu has no friends that he's getting worse at getting along with others. In fact, I can sense that he doesn't hate me, and he has no ill will towards me."

Jiang Qingze looked at Yan Zhi with a rare respect, and then thought for a moment, is he Xu Yan's friend?

It should have been counted before that erroneous confession. At least when I talked to Xu Yan, he was always very patient and would respond seriously no matter what I said.

And during that period of time, it seemed that I didn't see Xu Yan having another friend.

So after I took the initiative to distance myself from him, did he become a human being again?

Jiang Qingze once again looked through the rearview mirror at the young man with his head down in the back seat.

He recalled Xu Yan's behavior from the time he woke up until now.

He seemed even more reluctant to speak than he had been in college.
