Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 235 Go back and get the marriage certificate?
"Until the very end, wasn't I also saying: it looks exactly like a conspiracy?"

“It’s very similar! I never said it was a conspiracy. If Zhao Canghai believes that Zhao Youyue used me to kill Zhao Zongshan and seize the position of headquarters director, then he lacks the right judgment and doesn’t have enough trust in Zhao Youyue.”

"Everything I've said is true."

"Stop talking nonsense! I've heard Fang Yuan say that this is a method of deliberately misleading people!" Renxing retorted irritably to Lin Xiufeng.

Lin Xiufeng laughed dismissively and said:

"Why are you so indignant? Zhao Canghai will only be fighting with Zhao Youyue in the future, and he can't kill Zhao Youyue."

"Zhao Youyue is making things difficult for me, so I'm retaliating in kind to make things difficult for her. What's wrong with that?"

"Am I being too harsh?"

I don't think it's willful, after all, it's really rare for Lin Xiufeng to tolerate Zhao Youyue.

Considering Lin Xiufeng's petty and vindictive nature, he wouldn't have tolerated even a slight kick from Zhao Youyue in the past.

It's already incredibly difficult to tolerate Zhao Youyue...

At least from a whim, there's nothing to criticize about Lin Xiufeng.

I'm being capricious and not in the mood to say this:
"I didn't say you went too far, I just don't like this kind of tactic. Fine, I'm not getting involved in your fight anyway, so do as you please."

Lin Xiufeng solemnly declared, "I forgive you."

"Go to hell!" Renxing rolled her eyes at him irritably, too lazy to even bother with him for a moment.

Lin Qiru suddenly suggested, "How about we take a stroll around Iceland for a while?"

Willful nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying:
"Great! I'm so tired of getting rained on every day. This is the only place with ice and snow. Why didn't I think of that before? Otherwise, I would have come to play sooner!"

Lin Xiufeng and Fang Yuan didn't find it tiring, but they were also very interested in the novel environment of the snowy landscape.

The four of them wandered around aimlessly and stumbled upon a small iceberg. They dug an ice cave and started making ice sculptures inside.

After much effort, the sculpture was finally starting to look decent when, out of spite, someone accidentally cracked it in one spot. In a fit of anger, the person punched the ice sculpture.

The force used was too great, and the ice cave collapsed.

The four people crawled out of the snow and ice, still being willful and angry, cursing.

Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru looked at each other and laughed. They then lay down on the ice pile and rolled around laughing.

I was infected by their stubbornness and felt less angry. Thinking about it, it was quite funny, so I laughed and competed with them to see who could roll around faster.

Fang Yuan didn't know what was so funny, but he was forcibly dragged down by the willful man and forced to join the rolling around competition.

As it rolls around, it seems to be quite fun.

It was icy cold, and when you rolled it, it crushed a trail of ice with a squeaking sound.

After rolling for a while, she counted and found that the one who rolled the most times was the one who rolled the most times. She was competitive and determined to win.

Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru were just playing around, and they were quite willful after losing the lap count.

The four people collapsed on the ice, gazing at the vast expanse of white snow, feeling extremely relaxed.

Renxing suddenly said, "Lin Xiufeng, you're the leader of the anti-heaven faction! There's a ton of work waiting for you, and you're just rolling around on the ice playing around. How can you be so carefree?"

Lin Xiufeng said with a smile, "Because I know the formula for life!"

"What life formula? How old are you? What kind of formula do you have? It must be your dad who said that!" she asked, her voice both willful and exasperated.

Fang Yuan's curiosity was also piqued by the word.

Lin Xiufeng looked at Lin Qiru, who understood and smiled as she spoke for him:
“I heard Lin Xiufeng mention it.”

"We are born to survive, we learn and work to survive more happily, and happiness is to learn and work in the least amount of time and spend more time eating, drinking and having fun with the people we love."

He said with utter contempt, "What kind of life formula is this! It's a formula for not being ambitious!"

Lin Xiufeng asked her with a smile, "What's the purpose of being ambitious?" "To improve myself!"

"What is the purpose of this promotion?" Lin Xiufeng continued to ask her.

"If it's improved, everything will definitely be better."

"Is the essence of 'being better in every aspect' simply a pursuit of a better life?"

"...It seems so." After thinking about it, he realized it was true.

Lin Xiufeng said leisurely:
"So, the essence of striving for progress is to keep improving one's living standards until one enters one's comfort zone."

"Everyone's comfort zone is different. For some people, their comfort zone is the process of constantly striving for improvement."

"Most people don't find enjoyment in it; rather, once they reach their expectations, they stop and comfortably enjoy life."

“Our comfort zone is what you call a lack of ambition.”

"Where is your willfulness? Where is your sense of propriety? Have you considered what your comfort zone is like?"

After thinking for a moment, she sighed and said, "I don't know, I can't imagine, I have no expectations. I used to think that one day I could be your mistress."

"Huh?" Lin Qiru sat up in surprise and said, "I'm still here!"

"Wouldn't it be better if I were more honest?" she retorted, then muttered, "It's all in the past. I haven't been here long, so I don't think that way anymore. That's why I have no goals and don't know what to do."

“…Okay, indeed, we are close partners, so honesty is better.”

Lin Qiru thought it made a lot of sense, and besides, they were the ones who always encouraged candid and open communication, so she started chatting and asked her:
"Then why did you suddenly change your mind?"

He turned to look at Lin Qiru with a willful expression, and said helplessly:

"It's all because of you—"

"Are you afraid I'll resort to violence?" Lin Qiru pondered for a long time, not knowing why she was able to give up her willful thoughts.

A capricious and dismissive rant:

"Tch, no matter how powerful you are, do you think I'm afraid of what you're thinking?"

"Why is that?" Lin Qiru really couldn't understand it.

Whether it was the icy and snowy environment that made her too relaxed, or the stress from rolling on the ice earlier, she decided naturally to continue talking.

"I used to think Zhao Youyue's charm mainly came from her sleeping ability, but I can do that too!"

"I'm just as pretty as her, and I'm even more open about sleeping with her!"

“In terms of personality, I’m more willing to go along with Lin Xiufeng’s antics than she is. I’m more willing to support his bad ideas than Zhao Youyue.”

"I don't mind that Lin Xiufeng is not ambitious, anyway, I don't have any ambition either."

"Then of course I'd like to compete with her."

He sighed suddenly, then with a touch of melancholy:

"But you... you don't rely on sleeping at all. I feel like I have no chance to compete with you. Even if you gave me a chance, I wouldn't know how to compete."

"Actually, I think if it weren't for that incident, as long as Lin Xiufeng knew that you were Xu Xinying, Zhao Youyue would still have lost the competition."

"She can't compete with you either. It feels like you two are a perfect match, just like Fang Yuan said before, almost 100%."

"That's right, Fang Yuan said that everything is wrong, so let's not say 100%, let's say 99.99%!"

"By the way, you two are going to get your marriage certificate on this trip back to Tianlan Star, right?"

Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru answered in unison, "Yes."

"Uh...don't we need to propose or anything?" Renxing felt that the romance was missing.
