Inside the camp.

Jiang Xiaolong was very gentlemanly spreading a white square towel on the table, and poured a glass of red wine for Coco with the goblet he brought back.

Coco was hungry for a day and was eating voraciously, and his mouth was covered in oil stains, but when he saw Jiang Xiaolong doing this, he was stunned: "Hey, hey... can you stop doing it? I have goose bumps on my body, brother!"

"What are you doing? Is it a bit bad?" Jiang Xiaolong bent down and sat opposite Coco after drinking, and said softly: "Do you know how hard it is for me to bring these things back? Why don't you appreciate it at all?"

"Don't make it so grand, I... feel uncomfortable." Keke scratched his head and replied wildly: "Let's be a little casual, come on, I'll do it, I'll do it."

"…!" Jiang Xiaolong said speechlessly and slowly picked up the wine glass: "Can you respect your name to me a little more?"

"Tsk, what's wrong with Tiezi? What's wrong with brother?" Coco hit the other party with a glass of wine, took a small sip of red wine, and said with a smile: "This can prove the unshakable friendship between you and me."

Jiang Xiaolong took a big sip of red wine, stared at Coco in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Do you really treat me as a friend of the opposite sex?"

Coco was stunned for a moment with the dish: "Wrong!!"

Jiang Xiaolong's eyes lit up: "Look... I'll just say, I'm so handsome and talented..."

"I don't treat you as a friend of the opposite sex, I don't treat you as a sworn brother!" Coco emphasized.

Jiang Xiaolong was speechless for a while and couldn't help but lean forward: "Stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"I don't." Coco shook his head and looked at him seriously, "Since I left the three districts, you have been my best friend. Is there any problem with this?"

Speaking of this, the two looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Xiaolong scratched his head, then loosened his neckline with a little crampedly, and asked with a serious expression: "Coco... don't you really think I... just want to be your best friend, right?"

"Or what if it's?" Coco looked directly at the other party.

"I like you, you should know." Jiang Xiaolong paused and looked at Coco with sincere eyes: "...I think... we have been together for a long time, and the situation is so chaotic now. Maybe one day, we will suffer some surprises and people may be gone, so...I hope... our relationship can go further."

"Stop making trouble..."

"I didn't make a fuss. I was serious. I've been serious from the beginning." Jiang Xiaolong looked directly at her and replied gently in his words.

"call!"

Coco's body suddenly became limp, he let out a long sigh, blinked his big eyes, and sighed: "I'm very glad we were able to cooperate because you are a very trustworthy friend and partner. I thought my attitude and practices could keep us in the boundaries of friends... As a result, now...ah, this is a bit embarrassing."

"Koke, you know very well what I do with you, whether it is from the beginning of the old friend's teahouse or from..."

"Stop!" Keke raised his little hand, looked at Jiang Xiaolong's cheek with his eyes, and said very clearly: "Xiaolong, you and I are the best friends and the most trustworthy partner. This is no problem, but being a lover... that's impossible, because I don't have any feelings for you."

Jiang Xiaolong frowned and asked excitedly: "Why? Am I not doing well enough? Or is it that you can't accept a certain personality in me, so we can talk about it..."

"Neither, I just don't feel like you want to fall in love." Coco said very directly: "It is impossible for you and me to develop in this direction. I hope you can understand."

"Koke, I always feel that you are avoiding your emotional problems, and even covering up your ears." Jiang Xiaolong's emotions suddenly became very excited when he saw that Keke refused so simply: "You know something in your heart, something...!"

"Covering your ears and stealing the bell? Where do you start?"

"You know what I mean." Jiang Xiaolong looked at her stubbornly and replied excitedly: "Why can't you face some things? The past is over, so what can you do if you don't let go? You are always avoiding, and even resisting contact with me..."

"Are you talking about Qin Yu?" Ke Ke asked calmly.

"Isn't it him?" Jiang Xiaolong asked back.

Keke pondered for a while, looked at him with his head and responded frankly: "Xiaolong, you have to understand that the problem between you want to be with me and Qin Yu is completely different. I don't feel about you, what does it have to do with Qin Yu? I don't like him anymore, it doesn't mean I have to be with you? I think I'm in a good state now...!"

"Coco, don't lie to yourself, okay?" Jiang Xiaolong pointed to the table and said, "If you didn't have him in your heart, would you take the old friend's capital and get involved in the matter in District 4 without hesitation? What's the point of doing this?"

"You are thinking too much, you have confused your feelings and work. Not to mention that I am a Chinese, my family is in the three major regions, and just the old friends' capital has gone to this level, it is impossible to break away from the control of a certain political F, and continue to develop independently. This is not realistic. If the industry is too big, it is inevitable to contact the upper class! Then we are Chinese, and we have in-depth cooperation with the Chinese political F. What is there to doubt about this?" Keke slowly stood up and looked at Jiang Xiaolong calmly: "...If I have any so-called nostalgia, reluctance, and regrets about him, then I would not have left the three major regions. So many years have passed, and I have figured out a lot of things, and I have my own life... So don't always talk about work and feelings."

After speaking, Coco picked up the red wine glass and raised his arm at Jiang Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, since you made it clear today, I will also say it clearly. If your current series of practices are just to be with me... I'm sorry, I may not be able to repay your feelings... In the future, you can withdraw your shares and I will take the rest of the people alone. But if your current practices are just to make political investments, then there is no problem, we are still comrades-in-arms. But I hope we can clearly see that there is no emotional factor. I'm finished, thank you for your dinner."

Cocoa drank all the time and slowly placed the wine glass on the table: "You are very tired too, take a break early!"

After saying that, Keke turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Xiaolong grabbed her arm from behind and said in a trembling voice: "...Okay, we won't mention Qin Yu, we only talk about ourselves. You don't feel about me now, that's okay, I can wait, it's okay. You don't like to listen to me on this topic, so I won't talk about it in the future, okay?"

Keke looked at him and replied unbearably: "Xiaolong, you still don't understand. I can convert your investment and work status into cash and political relations to repay you, but if you have to invest excessive feelings in me, how can I repay you? I don't want to one day... we don't even have to do friends!"

"You still can't let him go if you say a thousand words!!" Jiang Xiaolong suddenly roared and replied, "I treat you ten thousand, isn't it worth him?"

"I said, the matter between you and me has nothing to do with Qin Yu! Why are you still holding on to this point?" Coco Dai looked at him with a frown: "Xiaolong, I feel that the various attitudes I have shown to you before have never had the intention of ambiguous or acquiescent relationship between men and women, right? You must understand that your work is only for the capital of old friends and the common cause of ours. Just like me, I am here at the risk of being arrested and shot at any time, but I still choose to persist, which is also to fight for the prospects of the entire capital of old friends, not for someone. If you think so, the cooperation can only be terminated because I can't give you what you want."

What Keke said to Jiang Xiaolong was a bit resolute and too rational, because Jiang Xiaolong officially confessed, so she could not show an ambiguous and vague emotional attitude. In that case, the relationship between the two parties would enter a dead end.

Jiang Xiaolong drank some wine before seeing Keke. He felt that his emotions had already been laid enough, but he didn't expect Keke to refuse so simply, so he was a little excited. He suddenly reached out and hugged Keke and whispered: "...I really like you a long time ago. Can you give me a chance? I told you, if you say something, my life is yours...really...!"

"Xiaolong, if you do this... we really don't even have friends." Coco replied in a low voice: "Let go, I'm going to go back and rest."

Jiang Xiaolong hugged Coco hard: "Why?! We have been working together for so many years and have so many tacit understandings, why are you unwilling to try to accept me?"

"That's a work relationship! The bodyguard has been born and died for me so many times, so he likes me. Do I want to marry him too?!" Coco suddenly shouted, "Can we calm down?"

Jiang Xiaolong came back to his senses after being roared, and his eyes were red to look at Coco.

"call!"

Coco breathed a long sigh, calmed down and said, "I... let's calm down and take a break early."

After saying that, Coco turned around and left with his coat.

Jiang Xiaolong looked at her back and suddenly realized his recklessness and kicked over the dining table.

After a while, after smoking two cigarettes, Jiang Xiaolong immediately sent a message to Keke: "...I was excited today, I'm sorry... I won't know how to do it anymore. We are still comrades in our careers."

...

The late night in Drakken is cold and the sky is full of stars.

After Coco finished washing up, he sat barefoot at the tent window, looking at the crystal snowflakes outside, feeling a little lonely inside...

Sitting in a daze for a long time, Keke lowered his head and his eyes were red and replied to Jiang Xiaolong with a brief message: "Within three days, I will liquidate your shares, withdraw funds, and then apply for political protection from the three major regions. Go back, our cooperation is over."

After sending the message, Coco turned off the phone directly, sat in a chair with his body curled up, and hugged himself tightly with his arms.

...

District 4.
