Shen Li listened attentively, her eyes sparkling with curiosity about the unknown world:
"Really? Are those skyscrapers taller than our mountains? How do people live in such a city?"
Xinghan smiled and nodded, and continued to describe:
"Yes, the height of those buildings is indeed amazing. In such a city, people's lives are fast-paced, but also full of possibilities. They can communicate with friends all over the world through the Internet and use technology to solve various problems. Life is both convenient and colorful."
Xinghan's smile was filled with pride in modern technology, and he further elaborated:
"Speaking of convenience and diversity, they are inseparable from the rapid development of technology. Take QR codes for example, they are now almost everywhere in the city. Whether it is shopping payment, information acquisition or identity verification, it can be completed instantly with just a scan, which greatly simplifies our life process.
Let's talk about mobile phone communication. It has already surpassed the traditional calling function and has become an indispensable part of our daily life. Through mobile phones, we can make video calls with friends and family anytime and anywhere, as if they are right next to us; we can browse news, watch videos, and learn new knowledge, making it easier than ever to obtain information; we can also use various APP software to handle work affairs, manage personal finances, and plan travel itineraries... Mobile phones are like our personal assistants, keeping everything under control.
In addition, there are smart home systems that can remotely control home lighting, air conditioning, security and other equipment through voice control or mobile phone apps, making life more intelligent and comfortable. These are just the tip of the iceberg of the many conveniences brought by modern technology, but they have profoundly changed our lifestyle and made the world more colorful. "
Shen Li's eyes were full of longing: "What about the relationships between people? Are they as complicated as here?"
Xinghan paused for a moment, then said seriously:
"In that world, the relationships between people are much closer and more complex than here. Sometimes, people will work closely together because of common goals and ideals; sometimes, they will be alienated because of various contradictions and conflicts..."
Xinghan paused for a moment, his eyes seemed to penetrate the light and shadow of the campfire and look towards the distant modern city. Then he spoke slowly, with a hint of emotion in his tone:
"Having said that, I have to say that modern people's minds are indeed more complex and changeable than before. In the hustle and bustle of the city, people are often driven by various desires and pressures, and it is difficult to maintain the simplicity and sincerity like the people here. Life here is simple and pure. There is less calculation and defense between people, and more sincerity and mutual help. This atmosphere makes me feel particularly warm and comfortable."
He smiled slightly, refocused his eyes on Shen Li and Xing Yun, and continued: "Of course, the convenience and excitement of modern society are irreplaceable. But in comparison, I prefer the tranquility and harmony here. Whenever night falls and the starry sky is bright, we sit around the campfire and share each other's stories and dreams. This simple and pure life is what I really yearn for in my heart."
"So, there are no demons there? No evil spirits there, right?"
Xinghan shook his head. "Of course not. That is a highly civilized and developed world. Really, there are no evil spirits or demons, so there is no need for a great war god like King Bi Cang. If you go there, you will be unemployed."
Shen Li smiled and shook her head, "I am willing to be unemployed. I have long been willing to have nothing to do. Peace in the three realms, peace in the four seas, no smoke and war, and the people live and work in peace. How wonderful it would be."
"Your wish is actually very simple, but also the most difficult. Although there are local wars, but... overall, it is a peaceful world, a world where everyone loves peace." There was a glimmer of joy in Xinghan's eyes.
There was an unprecedented light flashing in Shen Li's eyes, a deep curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.
"It's great, there is no war, no evil spirits, such a world would be so peaceful and beautiful." She whispered softly, as if she had immersed in that distant and dreamy world.
Xinghan felt Shen Li's expectations and longings, and a warm current surged in his heart, which was a sense of happiness filled with trust and dependence.
He held Shen Li's hands tightly. Although those hands were a little rough from holding the sword, they conveyed incomparable tenderness and firmness at this moment.
"One day, I will take you to see that world. Together we will walk through the bustling cities, feel the charm of technology, taste the delicacies from all over the world, and experience different cultures. I believe you will fall in love with it."
In this warm and expectant atmosphere, Shen Li listened to Xinghan's promise, a sly light flashed in her eyes, and she gently asked back: "Are you confessing your love?"
Although her voice was soft, it carried a barely perceptible tremor, as if even she herself could not quite believe that these sudden sweet words came from Xinghan's mouth.
When Xinghan heard this, two red clouds instantly appeared on his cheeks. He covered his face helplessly and smiled shyly:
"I...I might be drunk and talking nonsense." There was a hint of evasion in his words, but more of it was happiness and satisfaction that could not be concealed.
Seeing this, Shen Li raised a gentle smile, she shook her head gently, her eyes flashing with understanding and tolerance.
"I'm drunk too," she said softly, with a hint of confusion in her voice, "I'm drunk and sober at the same time, and sobriety is also a kind of drunkenness. On a night like this, with you by my side, whether I'm drunk or sober, it's the best time."
Her words were like a spring breeze, gentle and profound, which gradually dissipated the shyness and uneasiness in Xinghan's heart. The two smiled at each other, without saying anything, their feelings for each other were already unspoken.
Each other's smiles were filled with infinite longing and confidence for the future.
The aroma of wine filled the air, as if singing a song of celebration for their agreement.
The faces illuminated by the campfire are made softer and warmer by the warm light.
The figures illuminated by the bonfire are made more gentle and peaceful by the flickering flames.
Everything seemed to be frozen at this moment, becoming the most precious picture in the common memory of the three of them.
"Are you full?" Xinghan asked loudly.
"I'm full." Xingyun said unclearly.
"I'm full." Shen Li also said in a low voice.
"Me too, I'm drunk." Xinghan laughed heartily, his long hair fluttering in the wind, the white luster brighter than the moon.
I hope the moon doesn’t know whose eyes this light has entered.
