4447 The Other Side 416

Vermillion Bird didn’t think much of it. “I’m born single and will die single.”

A solitary figure from start till the end. Coming and going silently.

The man sized her up quietly and then said, “Mercenary is not a long-term solution, nor is it a lifelong business. People will eventually grow old. When they are old and no longer have the strength to hold a gun or fight with others, what… will you do?”

“Retire.” Vermillion Bird said, “I’ve already thought about it. I’ll retire when I’m 35, buy a high-end apartment in the most prosperous location in Los Angeles, and raise a Doberman. Those are the most comfortable days I can imagine.”

“Never thought about marriage?”

“Marriage?” When Vermillion Bird heard this word, she smiled.

“Marriage is really scary… To me, this word is simply a calamity.”

She smiled and continued, “I won’t get married. Not in this lifetime.”

“What a lonely life.”

The man commented mercilessly.

“And you?”

Vermillion Bird suddenly laughed. “Aren’t you lonely too? Young Master Jie, you’re almost 30. When are you going to get married and have children?”

“Marry…”

Gong Jie silently stuffed the remaining energy bar into his mouth. As he chewed, the corners of his lips twitched.

“You don’t seem interested in women.”

Vermillion Bird said and moved closer to him.

“Logically speaking, when a man stands in front of me, his breathing quickens and the temperature on his face will rise, then his breath becomes hurried. But you… don’t seem to be moved?”

Vermillion Bird was a woman with an extremely distinctive appearance.

She had a head of naturally blonde hair, a fair face, and deep eyes that seemed to reach into the soul of the beholder.

Any man standing before her would feel helpless.

Gong Jie looked at her expressionlessly and blurted out, “Oh? You’re a woman. Why can’t I tell?”

“…”

Vermillion Bird resisted the urge to vomit blood. She gritted her teeth and asked, “How can you not tell that I’m a woman?”

“Such short hair and cold temperament. You glare at others like a leopard with a murderous look in your eyes.”

After giving a pertinent evaluation, he raised an eyebrow. “Sorry, I can’t imagine you as a woman.”

“…”

Vermillion Bird lowered her head and looked at her fully armed combat uniform, bulletproof vest, knee-high combat boots, her Defense Master and two Desert Eagles.

It seemed that the killing intent was indeed very strong.

“Are you sure you’re not bragging?”

Gong Jie teased, “Whichever man develops an interest in you would be demonstrating a really bad orientation.”

“…”

The Vermillion Bird was speechless.

She flicked her hair and said coldly, “Forget it. We’re not on the same page.”

With that, she turned around and continued her patrol.

Gong Jie could not help laughing. It seemed that his poisonous tongue had taken a stab at her.

He turned around and leaned against the railing, recalling Vermillion Bird’s words.

“You don’t seem interested in women.”

He had not noticed it before, but it was true. It was not that he had never had a woman by his side before.

However, he did not seem to be interested in any type of women. But he wasn’t interested in men either.

The man lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. The sun rose in the east amidst the smoke-filled air.
