Chapter 83 Comfort

"..."

At night, Li did not return to the Fire Moth. Instead, she sat on the moonlit roof of the church, her eyes a little lost.

Aponia's words just now kept lingering in his mind.

Disguise...?

Yes, Li couldn't feel sad for Aaron's death. It was easy to squeeze tears from her eyes, but it was meaningless.

indifferent.

Now his disregard for death has even suppressed the bond between him and his "relatives".

"Something is not good..."

Li knew that if there was no solution, he would fall sooner or later if this continued.

Lawyers... are all like this?

Li turned her sight to the back of the church, which was a wasteland, and on that wasteland, nameless tombstones stood there.

Those were the children who died in the orphanage before, and now Aron has become one of them.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

A familiar voice came from beside me.

Li turned around and saw Qianjie sitting beside him at some point, sitting cross-legged with one hand on his thigh, looking at him like this.

"Thinking about the philosophy of life." For the first time, Li lay down directly to avoid Qianjie's gaze, staring at the moon without blinking.

"..."

Qianjie naturally saw that Li was worried. After all, they had been close friends in a physical sense for so long, and both sides had almost figured out each other's thought patterns.

"Aponya asked me to come and see you." Qianjie clicked his tongue.

"She said there was something wrong with you. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that you have indeed changed somewhere. At least you wouldn't be so worried before."

"Eh? Qianjie, have you learned a new idiom again?" Li's focus was a bit wrong.

"You want to fight again?"

Qianjie clenched his fists.

"You may not be able to beat me now." Li waved her hand, appearing very comfortable.

"...What are you worried about? Are you still recovering from the child's death?"

Qianjie didn't let the topic get sidetracked and continued to ask.

"No."

Li shook his head and said: "The dead are already dead. This is an irreversible fate. But those of us who are alive, don't think too much."

This has always been his view. Since he cannot resurrect the dead, he will not let the dead affect the living self too much. Li still needs to be responsible for more living people.

"Qianjie, tell me, if one day someone you love dies in front of you, but you can't feel any sadness, how would you feel in this case?"

This is very clear.

"...How do you feel now?" Qianjie did not answer, but asked instead.

“Don’t answer a question with a question.”

"Irritated and confused." Qianjie finally thought about his answer, and after finishing speaking, he came to his senses.

Is this how Li feels now?

But why can't he feel sadness?

Qianjie wanted to stare into Li's eyes, but failed. Li took out a paper bag from nowhere and put it on his head, like an autistic child.

"..."

Qianjie twitched the corner of his mouth and punched him.

Snapped---

Li grabbed Qianjie's fist and turned her head covered with paper bags towards him.

"Qianjie, is this how you comfort people?"

"Ha... I think this way of comforting you has the best effect." Qianjie sneered, pulled his fist back, stood up, and raised his other fist.

"Ready to blow off some steam?"

"As expected of you, venting your anger through fighting... But it sounds good." Li Ye stood up, but did not take off the paper bag, but poked two holes in it, exposing his eyes.

"Then I'd rather obey your orders than be respectful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li punched out without holding back. Based on his understanding of Qianjie's strength, there was no way Qianjie could not catch this punch.

"boom---!"

"Ah...?"

To Li's expectation, this punch actually hit Qianjie's mask firmly.

Not only did Qianjie not react to Li's offensive, he also took the initiative to move his body in front of his fist without taking a single step back.

"Are you feeling comfortable?" Qianjie's tone was still full of gunpowder, but Li felt a little uncomfortable.

"If you don't feel comfortable, continue! Haven't you always wanted to beat me like this?!"

"I don't understand you."

After releasing his fist, Li lay back down again, seemingly speechless, but if you listen carefully, you can tell that Li's tone has actually relaxed a lot.

Seeing that Li really had no desire to take action, Qianjie snorted, took off the mask with cracks on his face, and replaced it with the new skull mask Li bought for him.

When Li looked over, Qianjie had resumed his mask-wearing appearance, and couldn't help but feel pity. He had never seen Qianjie's face until now.

Ignoring Li's probing gaze, Qianjie shouted to the other side of Li: "Hey! Kitty, you can come up now!"

"Brother Jie is here... Hey!"

A basket containing a lot of things was thrown up and landed firmly on the roof. Then Pado jumped up, patted the dust on his hands, and greeted Lida:

"Hey! Brother Li!"

"Pado?" Li said in surprise. He had not seen this kitten since he came here this afternoon.

"Where did you run before?"

"Well... the guy we stole from last time is back here again. Maybe he thought we were okay because we haven't taken any action during this period, right?"

Obviously, Pado returned to his old business and emptied the unfortunate man's fortune again.

She had just learned that another child had died in the orphanage.

"Pitiful."

That being said, Li thought it didn't matter. Anyway, that guy had made a lot of money as a profiteer over the years.

"Then why did you come here?"

"Sister Nia asked me to come here with Brother Jie to find you." Pado was a little worried. She had already listened to the conversation between Qianjie and Li. Although she didn't understand the meaning of what Brother Li said, All she needs to know is that Brother Li is troubled.

"Aponya really loves to worry..." Li smiled helplessly.

"Brother Li, don't think too much. We'll talk about the future later. We just need to live a good life now." Pado handed the basket to Li and opened the cloth cover. There were all kinds of snacks inside.

"Come on, Brother Li, just eat! All the worries will be eliminated through the intestines!"

Under Pado's earnest gaze and Qianjie's careless gaze, Li's heart calmed down involuntarily, and she took out a sandwich from the basket and took a bite.

"..."

"Brother Li, how is it? Is it delicious?"

Li silently reached out and pulled out half of the iron nail from her mouth, and then took out the other half from the remaining sandwich, "Pado, which store did you buy this from?"

"Ehhhh?!" Pado first looked at the half-bitten iron nail in disbelief, and then became furious.

"Damn it! That boss also said that this food is absolutely guaranteed to be food safe. Let's see how I steal everything from him next time!"

"Hahahaha...!" Qianjie suddenly laughed loudly and unscrupulously, "Li, your teeth are really good!"

"...Qianjie, you are very happy~"

"?"

Qianjie felt his body suddenly fly up, and it was Li who lifted him up. Unprepared, he flew away from the roof, spun three and a half times in the air, and fell hard to the ground. .

"Li! You! T! M!"

Qianjie's furious voice came from downstairs.

Pado was stunned for a while, and then started to tremble.

Brother Li is going to fight with Brother Jie again? !

"Pado..."

"?Brother Li?"

"Thank you, I feel much better now." Li stretched greatly, "You are right, we can talk about the future later. The most important thing now is to live well now!"
