[WDIDWAMGB] Chapter 81: Gossip
Added 2023-03-23 21:13:30 +0000 UTCIn the courtyard of the base, next to a small pot of canned meat and instant noodles, Leon Scott Kennedy was enjoying his first decent meal in days.
After adding several bowls, Leon finally ate his fill, finished the soup in his bowl, took a sip of beer, burped contentedly, and looked at Li Yexing with a look of brotherly affection, as if he were his own blood brother.
"To be honest, I shouldn't have eaten so much..." Wiping the corners of his mouth, Leon said to Li Yexing, "But considering the current situation, who knows when we'll get our next decent meal, so I decided to eat my fill for now."
"Alright..." Li Yexing said.
"Speaking of which, we've been through life and death together, but I don't even know your name. I'm Leon, Leon Scott Kennedy. You can call me Leon," Leon introduced himself to Li Yexing.
"I'm Li Yexing, a mercenary from Edonia," Li Yexing replied, and then he noticed that Leon was stunned; he frowned and asked Leon, "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"
"You're the Edonian mercenary Li Yexing, the Mad Dog of Roples?" Leon exclaimed in shock.
"Am I that famous over there?" Li Yexing was surprised.
"No, no, not really. I just heard a woman mention you," Leon waved his hand and said.
"Ada Wong?"
"That's right, that woman. We went to Hawaii together last time, and I heard her mention you," Leon said.
"Wait a minute..." Li Yexing keenly caught the key point in Leon's words, "You two went to Hawaii together?"
"Yes, we went on vacation together... To be honest, the trip wasn't very pleasant. It was peak tourist season, and the beach was crowded with people. Although I make a good salary, renting an entire section of the beach seemed a bit too extravagant," Leon said, not noticing Li Yexing's increasingly strange expression.
Finally, Leon added, "I envy those rich people who can enjoy the whole beach with their own women."
"Private beaches and such are all good, but wait a minute, you and Ada Wong; you went on vacation together in Hawaii?" Li Yexing asked in shock.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Leon asked. "Just because I have a high salary doesn't mean I should always be pulled back to work during my vacation."
"No, no, no, I don't think you understand the point..." Li Yexing waved his hand and asked, "You and Ada Wong, what kind of relationship do you have?"
"What kind of relationship?" Leon was initially puzzled, but then he seemed to suddenly understand something. He looked at Li Yexing cautiously and said, "You have two already, don't tell me you're still eyeing other women?"
As Leon spoke, he leaned in and whispered to Li Yexing in a pretended earnest manner, "With those two of yours, with brutal personalities, do you still have the mind to cheat?"
"Who said I would cheat?!" Li Yexing exclaimed excitedly. "I'm just curious. What is the progress between you and Ada Wong? When will you two have... you know, progress?"
"What do you mean by progress between me and Ada?" Leon muttered in confusion. "I feel... like normal friends? And feels like, I'm just being used by her?"
Looking at Leon's foolish expression, Li Yexing despairingly held his forehead.
Li Yexing was considering whether or not to say something like, "She mentioned you in front of me...'", "She said Leon is handsome and sexy..." or "She'll marry you when she retires..." to forcibly matchmake them, but as soon as he thought of Ada's foxy smile, he immediately chickened out.
Ada Wong had given all her tenderness to Leon. As for someone like Li Yexing, who was just a passerby, he better forget about it. If he tried to fabricate something about that woman in front of Leon, he would be in big trouble if she found out.
Both of these people are actually quite awkward.
The scenes in which they truly appeared together and became known to the world seem to be only in "Resident Evil 2", "Resident Evil 4", "Resident Evil: Damnation" and "Resident Evil 6".
The time span can be said to be from 1998 to 2013, a full 15 years.
15 years is enough to turn Leon from a rookie and handsome young man into a seasoned and scruffy old man, and enough to turn a young and beautiful female spy into a... young and beautiful looking female spy?
Well, who knows what happened?
Leon seemed to become more world-weary each time he appeared, while Miss Ada, who was paired with him, seemed to become more ethereal and ageless each time. If this series went on to its tenth installment, the two of them might turn from a brother-sister romance to a grandparent-grandchild romance!
Was Leon also facing the same dilemma as him?
At first, Li Yexing always felt that Ada was like a fairy flying in the sky, dragging her long sleeves behind her. Leon was like a snotty little kid chasing the fairy on the ground, always wanting to jump up and grab her sleeves but never able to do so. After all, they had only met four times in fifteen years.
This kind of love... was just too simple.
However, upon closer inspection, whether it was Ada's suggestive line in Resident Evil: Damnation, "When will we continue what we didn't finish that night..." or the call display on Leon's phone that was exclusive to Ada in Resident Evil 6, they both showed that their distance was not as far as it seemed. On the contrary, this pair of "dog men and women" may have been in contact with each other frequently in private!
Even so, their relationship still had not made any substantial progress. Li Yexing couldn't help but cursed a little, thinking that Leon was an idiot. Since Resident Evil 2, he had not even said a sweet word.
You should kiss her! Kiss her! Fans of the Resident Evil series are getting anxious!
Speaking of Leon, let's talk about Ada.
This woman was really something.
Clearly, the first time Ada met Leon, she had an attitude of "Oh, isn't this my loyal dog?", but behind his back, as soon as she heard that someone wanted to mess with Leon, she immediately turned into an Amazon huntress, as if she wanted to dig up your ancestors' graves.
This pair was really awkward, and Li Yexing was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. He strongly recommended that Resident Evil 6 release a DLC that added a new function, as long as you press a certain button, you could immediately control the on-screen Leon and Ada to kiss. That would definitely sell well and he strongly suggested this to Capcom.
The mind storm triggered by the "Hawaii vacation" in Li Yexing's mind was gradually subsiding, but there was still one thing that bothered him.
Looking at the idol he once idolized so much in his elementary school days, Li Yexing finally gathered the courage to ask, "Leon, do you and Ada... sleep together?"
"What?" Leon just asked back with a half-hearted tone as if he didn't hear the question.
When Leon didn't want to answer his question, Li Yexing lightly nudged Leon with his elbow.
"Did you sleep with her or not?"
"Why are you asking me that?" Leon frowned.
"Just asking, no other meaning, did you sleep?"
"Do you think I would tell you?"
"Come on, just tell me, I'm curious."
"What the hell, why are you curious about this kind of thing?!"
"Just curious, come on, tell me, tell me..."
"Get lost."
"Wow, just tell me, if you have the ability to go on vacation, you should have the ability to sleep with her, right?"
"For fuck's sake, get away from me, quickly, go away!"
