Chapter 238 Changes
Chapter 238 Changes
""A boss who is too tolerant to his subordinates is unqualified." I remember someone once said this to me.
Who on earth is it? Oops, I really can’t remember. Rosalyn, do you have any idea? "
In the reception room of the Goethe Hotel, Zuo Xi and Rosalin sat on each side, sharing wine and snacks.
Perhaps it was the genes engraved in the bones of the Mondstadt people, but wine was an indispensable thing for Rosalin. She likes many things, and wine is one of the most important.
But she often prefers to taste it alone and rarely shares it with others, let alone drinking it with others like she does now.
"People always change, don't they? And Zuo Xi... If you don't change your yin and yang habits, Nata and Abei Xi will be led astray by you."
In fact, it should have been broken. Rosalin added silently in her mind.
Of those two people, one was dignified and the other was silent and steady. But not long after following Zuo Xi, he got into bad habits. Not only did he become thick-skinned, but he also picked up on everyone in the same way.
"...I really didn't expect you to change so much. A mere sixty years can change your personality and habits of five hundred years...Is this the power of love?"
Zuo Xi showed a curious expression. Although sixty years is a long time, it is enough to take up half of an ordinary person's life. Take Zuo Xi himself, whether he will still be alive after sixty years is a question. But that's only relative to the life span of ordinary people. Sixty years, after all, seems a bit underwhelming compared to five hundred years.
He originally thought that even if Rosalin would change, it wouldn't be so big, but he didn't expect that this time it would be like a different person.
This statement is really not an exaggeration, because not only has the other party's personality and habits changed, but his dressing style has also undergone considerable changes.
The revealing outfit from before was long gone, replaced by an elegant white robe. The executive mask on his face was also taken off and hung on his waist. After all, it is one of the status symbols and cannot be thrown away like clothes.
The evil eye was strung with a rope and hung around her neck like a necklace. Half of her blond hair, which was originally spread out and the other half tied into a bun, was now completely spread out. Her hair was smooth, falling down like a waterfall on her smooth shoulders. And above the collarbone... Well, I don't know why. Although the rest of the clothes are very conservative, the collarbone and shoulders are exposed.
In short, it's no wonder that Luke couldn't recognize him. Zuo Xi's reaction when he saw this appearance for the first time was not much better than his.
……
"Welcome back, Luo... Damn it! Who are you!"
This was the first thing Zuo Xi said after Rosalin came back. The last time he was so surprised was when he first discovered that the Queen was spying on him. So much so that he only said five words in his prepared opening remarks before being interrupted by his own shock and forgetting what he was going to say next.
After that, she kept staring at Rosalin silently, until she heard the "click-click-click" sound of taking pictures. At this time, Rosalin had already put away her camera.
"I'm back, Motar... No, please allow me to call you Zuo Xi. You won't mind, right?"
……
"I don't think this deserves your fuss...but if you are curious, I can't give you some explanation."
Rosalin put down the wine glass. The glass was no longer the high-end red wine she had preferred before, but the most popular local apple wine in Mondstadt.
In the dream, they shared this ordinary drink like this every night... Although they have decided to move towards the future, no one said that people who are moving towards the future cannot miss the past occasionally, right?
"You don't need to tell me to guess it. Your dusty past has awakened, and you have personally experienced that "possibility"... The combination of the dusty past and the five hundred years of experience since then has made you who you are now, right?"
Hmm... I always feel that it is not rigorous when I say this. I should say that you are the real you now. "
Zuo Xi waved his hand. It was true that he was surprised, but being surprised didn't mean that he couldn't understand the current situation. In fact, this is a conclusion that can be easily drawn, and he only expressed emotion afterward.
He also has his past, but it's hard for anyone to take him back to that place.
"..."
"Huh? What? You wouldn't think that I can't do it with this level of speculation, right? In your words, "This is not worthy of your surprise," Rosalind. "
Seeing Rosalin fall silent, Zuo Xi thought she was surprised by what he said, and then he started laughing at the other party's shallow knowledge.
"I never doubted your mind..."
Rosalin smiled and shook her head, denying Zuo Xi's remarks. She had long since given up exploring Zuo Xi's head, and she would not be surprised no matter what he did.
She has more things to care about than this. But she didn't know if it was appropriate to talk about this matter face to face.
"What's wrong? Could it be that "holding back on speaking" was also your habit before? If you have anything to ask, just ask. "
Zuo Xi saw Rosalin's hesitation and immediately laughed. Rosalin, who was so coquettish and scrupulous, was in a situation that she would have never had the chance to see before.
"In that case, let me tell you... Zuo Xi, is there really no place for you under the starry sky?"
"..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend...but you may not realize how strong the loneliness you just revealed is."
When Rosalin saw Zuo Xi was silent for a long time, she consciously apologized. Then he explained why he said that.
After a pause, she continued to add.
"This situation has happened before. It's just that I didn't care about it at that time..."
Rosalyn was not very good at comforting people. She had experienced the anger and helplessness of losing everything. But that was obviously not the same emotion as the loneliness Zuo Xi had just shown, so she couldn't empathize with it.
But when she was enveloped in that kind of loneliness, she suddenly understood why Columbia treated Zuo Xi so specially.
That kind of loneliness also exists in Columbia, that kind of loneliness as if the world has become extinct and she is left alone in the end...
The loneliness in Zuo Xi is not as suffocating as that in Columbia, but it is just as indelible.
The two of them stopped talking, silence was the best communication.
