Chapter 719 Zhou Ping (7)
Zhou Ping understood what he should understand, he just rarely had such a "desire".
He just subconsciously replaced the female character closest to him with Yun Ci when he put himself in the role of the protagonist in the book.
Yun Ci sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at Zhou Ping's shy appearance, and suddenly laughed.
"You sound like you're going to do something to me." She sighed, "Yes, yes, little Zhou Ping has grown up. You're so tall now. You're really different from before."
Zhou Ping listened to Yun Ci's words as if she were an elder, and looked at her with some dissatisfaction.
"Don't use that tone of voice that you use to coax a child."
"The grown-up Zhou Ping." Yun Ci approached Zhou Ping and felt guilty for a moment when she met his clear eyes. "In your 'substitution', have we done everything?"
Zhou Ping's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and changed the subject: "Are you really not injured today?"
Yun Ci leaned back and lay on the bed: "You have asked many times, why don't you come and check it yourself?"
"..."
Yun Ci glanced at Zhou Ping and sat up again in shock.
"No? You're actually 'moved'?!"
Yun Ci reached out in surprise and pinched Zhou Ping's face: "Are you still the Zhou Ping I know?"
Zhou Ping obediently accepted the pinch and responded, "What kind of Zhou Ping do you know?"
"Well-behaved, simple, pure, strong, kind, and gullible..." Yun Ci put both hands on him and rubbed Zhou Ping's fleshless face.
Zhou Ping raised his big palm and held Yun Ci's hand. The moment the warmth covered the back of her hand, Yun Ci felt... a little uncomfortable.
His clear eyes were full of seriousness as he repeated, "I am 24 years old."
Zhou Ping has been through a lot, and it’s not that he doesn’t understand, he’s just so aggrieved and sad that he doesn’t want to care.
Instead of paying attention to those bad things, you might as well experience the life in some books.
But Yunci is different.
She was his sword.
One with Him.
is his.
In this filthy world, Yun Ci, like her third uncle, was included in his own world.
Perhaps if Yun Ci changed her identity, it would not be so easy for her to enter Zhou Ping's heart.
But coincidentally, she chose an identity that was easiest for her to be with him.
As the night grew darker, Yun Ci pushed Zhou Ping to interrupt the conversation.
"It's getting late, go to bed first. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. It's not easy to go to bed early. We'll talk next time, next time..."
The lights were turned off by the faint sword energy, and the room became dark in an instant.
Zhou Ping blinked, his eyes quickly adjusting to the darkness.
He listened to the steady breathing beside his ear, which had not changed in recent years.
"Good night."
"Good night."
Zhou Pingan closed his eyes peacefully.

The training of Lin Qiye and others was repeated through reading books, individual training, and mental training.
Time flies and two months have passed.
Although this group of students did not learn any skills from books like Zhou Ping, their state of mind has been greatly improved.
Except Cao Yuan, the rest of the group entered the sea.
The second phase of "individual combat capability" was a perfect end.
The third phase, 'Team Training', begins.
Zhou Ping will then take them out of the warehouse and engage in teamwork with the Night Watch team between 006-010.
And this was done by the Night's Watch leadership, without any agreement being made with those teams.
"The top management didn't inform those teams yet. Are we going to challenge them?"
"Ah."
"..."
"Ye Fan meant for me to meet with those teams, explain my purpose, and negotiate and finalize the details of the challenge together..." He couldn't reveal his identity yet.
There were only two words in the minds of Lin Qiye and others: It's over.
For them, the biggest challenge was not fighting with those teams, but how to prevent Zhou Ping from sneaking away while looking for the special team.
That night, Yun Ci once again saw Zhou Ping packing his luggage and sneaking away.
——Then he was caught by Baili Pangpang’s big move.
Yun Ci looked at the vehicles that completely surrounded the base and clicked her tongue twice.
She patted Zhou Ping's arm, and under his resentful gaze, she suppressed a smile and said, "It's already like this, just accept your fate."
Zhou Ping: "...Shouldn't you be standing with me?"
Yun Ci stood beside Zhou Ping: "What are you talking about? Am I not standing next to you?"
Zhou Ping: “…”
*
On the way to Xining City for the first training, Yun Ci belatedly realized that the 008 team at the second stop was attacked and all members died except for the special Jiang Er from the Forbidden Ruins.
According to the time estimated by An Qingyu in the plot, the current 008 team has been... harmed by the first believer, the Wind Vein Earth Dragon.
Yun Ci did not speak out about the reality that was too late to change, thus adding more doubts to herself.
Anyway, everyone will know in a few days.
Zhou Ping noticed that Yun Ci was distracted and raised his hand to hold her hand which was on the armrest.
"what happened?"
Yun Ci shook her head and whispered, "Have you thought about what to talk about when you meet the other team members later?"
This question stumped Zhou Ping.
He suddenly became listless again and didn't want to talk anymore.
"Xiaoci really has a bad taste." Zhou Ping said, "You seem very happy to see me in trouble."
"How could that be? Didn't I help you communicate when you were in trouble before?"
Zhou Ping quickly glanced at Yun Ci and continued to maintain his previous mood: "Then..."
Yun Ci narrowed her eyes: "But not this time."
"why not?"
"If you want to overcome that hurdle, you have to do this." Yun Ci held Zhou Ping's hand and said gently, "Your strength has not improved for a long time."
Zhou Ping lowered his eyes.
He knew that it was a matter of state of mind.
But he just didn't like this world that had treated him with so much malice.
"I know that what happened cannot be forgotten, and you have the right to remember it forever."
"but……"
Yun Ci turned her head and looked at Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan who were sleeping soundly on the other side.
"You've also met someone who's nice to you, haven't you?"
Zhou Ping followed Yun Ci to look over, and Ye Fan’s words echoed in his mind.
Summer……
"Try again." Yun Ci's voice was filled with murderous intent. "I will always be by your side. If they dare to betray you - heh."
One word summarizes all your thoughts.
Zhou Ping felt warm in his heart and moved his fingers slightly, interlocking their fingers.
"I know."
He understands.
In this world, Yun Ci is the only one who is selfless when facing him.
He can feel it.
I can feel his heart clearly.
Yun Ci asked nothing of him.
Everything she did nice to him was just because he was who he was.
