steel horn

When night fell, Ke Xia took Shao Jun back to the room and said, "I'm going to review military affairs, you can play for a while."

He walked into the study room, turned around and saw Shao Jun following him to the study room, Ke Xia paused, and originally wanted him to go out, but when he looked up, he saw that he was looking around curiously with a pair of dark eyes, and he stood right there In front of the wall hung with various medals and songs of roses, he looked at those shiny things almost in amazement.

Ke Xia also let him go, took the approval document from Huajian Wine on the table, took a sip of the coffee he just poured, put it aside casually, and buried himself in the approval document.

However, after a while, he felt that someone came to the table very lightly, picked up the half-drunk coffee cup, and put it on the corner of the table, away from the documents.

He raised his head and looked at Shao Jun in astonishment: "What are you doing with the cup?"

Shao Jun was obviously taken aback by him, but his face was blank. He didn't seem to know why he did this. He just saw the cup and felt that he should take it away.

Ke Xia realized that he had overreacted—but at that moment, he thought it was Du Yin.

When he was reading or approving documents, he would often knock over things like teacups, coffee cups, and milk cups. Later, whenever he was doing something at his desk, Duin would come over and quietly move his cup away from him. arms so as not to knock over and wet the table.Since Du Yin was gone, no one else was allowed in or out of his study. After that, he broke a lot of cups, and of course no one cared about him.

For a moment, he became a little restless, and waved to Shao Jun with a downcast face, "Go out, just walk outside."

There was confusion on Shao Jun's face, but he still understood his gestures, and seemed to be a little confused by his hot and cold, Ke Xia rang the bell, and called Huajian Wine: "Take him out, arrange a Give him a room, teach him to bathe and change clothes."

Hua Jianjiu asked, "Where do you live?"

Ke Xia said, "Just find a room in the inner courtyard."

Hua Jianjiu nodded, took Shao Jun out, then took him into a room, and began to teach him how to use various facilities. After the teaching, he raised his head and asked him: "Okay, why don't you try to take a bath?" ?”

Shao Jun nodded, the relaxed expression on his face was gone, and he was cautious and prudent about the new environment.The two faced each other for a while, Shao Jun didn't move, Hua Jianjiu finally felt that something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "You wash it yourself?"

Shao Jun stared at him cautiously, as if he was an intruder, and he didn't seem to have any need to let this person accompany and teach, Hua Jianjiu suddenly felt a little idiot: "Then I'm leaving?"

Shao Jun nodded, pointed out the door, and signaled him to go out.

Hua Jianjiu looked at this black-haired young man with aloof expression, and felt a burst of magic. Wasn't this man docile and well-behaved in front of the marshal just now?How come there is a faint sense of condescending oppression when he is in front of him?He was like a servant serving him.

This is simply pretending, pretending, pretending!Let me see when you pretend to be!Hua Jianjiu walked away feeling very unbalanced, refusing to admit that he also had a slight desire to teach the baby to teach the baby at that time - watching him eat ordinary dishes seemed to make him more appetizing.

In the early morning of the next day, Ke Xia, who suffered from insomnia again, got up and went out to go to the military headquarters for a meeting full of irritability. When he got in the car, he saw Hua Jian Jiu, and suddenly remembered Shao Jun and asked, "What about the replicant?"

Hua Jianjiu rolled his eyes: "I don't know, I will leave after sending him to the room to teach him how to use the equipment."

Ke Xia said, "Did you not look at him?"

Hua Jianjiu said: "The room is equipped with surveillance cameras. I checked and everything is normal. Although I don't seem to be proficient, at least I went to bed after washing and wearing pajamas. When I came out just now, I checked and saw that I was still sleeping. I have already told the guards, let him walk casually in the yard during the day, and see what he wants to do."

Ke Xia said, "It's really more comfortable than ours."

Hua Jianjiu was not in a good mood: "Your Highness, you don't have to go to work. If you are in the alliance, if you say what you say, there are many people who will share your worries. Like here, there are imaginary enemies everywhere. You can't relax for a moment."

Ke Xia smiled, those nightmares from last night flooded into his mind again, he looked out the window, thinking in a daze, he seemed to dream of Du Yin again last night.Hua Jianjiu was still talking: "Your Majesty won't take you to church again today, will he?"

Ke Xia said: "He used to be the high priest of the church, so he is naturally interested in that. I often meet the church choir when I go to the palace. Your Majesty likes to listen to them playing the harp and singing hymns for entertainment, and often drags me. I just feel drowsy while listening."

Hua Jianjiu laughed loudly: "You won't really fall asleep, will you?"

Ke Xia said: "How is it possible, who knows what they want to do, they must not be able to sleep."

When he came back in the evening, he asked Hua Jianqin who was in charge at home: "How is it? That little clone."

Hua Jianqin frowned: "He wanted to go out after dinner in the morning, but Yuri was on duty, so he didn't let him go out. Somehow, he had a fight with Yuri, and then I rushed to them and separated them. Then he walked around the house by himself, and I didn't care about him. Except for eating and living in the room, he stayed in the gym for a while. After the virtual central control taught him how to use the equipment, he ran on the treadmill for a while... ..."

Ke Xia smiled: "He fought with Yuri? Did Yuri lose?"

Hua Jianqin said with a smile: "I can't see, anyway, both sides are not very happy, staring at each other like children, it seems that no one is pleasing, but neither side is hurt."

Ke Xia nodded: "That means you should keep your hands, otherwise Yuri will either die or be injured."

Hua Jianqin rolled her eyes: "His Royal Highness, please save some face for Yuri, don't talk about it, he will hear after a while that he wants to have an endless relationship with that child."

Ke Xia didn't take it seriously: "Where is he now?"

Hua Jianqin said: "He's in the recreation room on the first floor." Obviously, he is still being closely monitored.

Ke Xia was stunned: "Recreation room?" Hua Jianqin reminded him: "It's the one next to the garden, the entire wall is made of glass, it should be for children to play. At first they played with toys, and then they read picture books .”

Ke Xia suddenly realized that it was his and his sister's playroom, and he hadn't entered it since he came back. He took off his coat and mocked, "Is this an addiction to playing a child?" fun.

He changed his casual shoes and went to the downstairs play room. He saw Shao Jun sitting cross-legged on the wool carpet in the corner of the bookshelf, holding a book and flipping through it page by page. A familiar gentle voice: "Bed, table, chair, father, mother, sister..."

He stopped, he knew that it was his and his sister's literacy book, after he learned it, it was his sister's turn to study, the voice recorded by Princess Nantes herself, the contents of that literacy book appeared clearly before his eyes, every Page, even the color of the painting and the pattern of the butterfly, I remember clearly.

Ke Xia walked over, knelt down and sat beside Shao Jun, watched him turn over page by page, then raised his head to see him, his eyes immediately brought a smile, as if it was a joy to really see him He took the book and opened it to him, opened his mouth and read along: "Bed, table, chair..."

He looked at Ke Xia, as if waiting for approval, Ke Xia finally suppressed the enthusiasm in his chest, and said, "Are you learning to speak? Have you learned it?" He looked at the thick stack of picture books next to him, Each book is the voice recorded by his mother at the time, and he remembers every story.

Shao Jun nodded, then turned his head and called him: "Xia."

Ke Xia smiled: "Ke Xia, Ke Xia..."

Shao Jun followed suit: "Ke Xia."

Ke Xia asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"

Shao Jun shook his head, then pointed to the toys on the shelf.

Ke Xia looked up and saw that it was his toy mecha, which was completely scaled down to the real mecha. Ke Xia asked, "Do you like it?"

Shao Jun nodded, Ke Xia went up, took it down, opened it, took out the manual keyboard, turned on the power switch, the eyes of the little mecha lit up, he operated the keyboard and made a few movements, Shao Jun watched eagerly, Ke Xia taught him: "You said, I want to play, please play for me?"

Shao Jun said, "I want to play."

Ke Xia teased him: "And then?" Don't ask me?

Shao Jun just looked at him with a pair of dark eyes, persistent and aggrieved, Ke Xia couldn't help laughing, handed him the keyboard, and joked with him: "If I don't give it to you, do you still have to fight with Dayou?" Hit me the same way?"

Shao Jun ignored him at all, and as if he had found a treasure, he took the keyboard and tried it for a while, and suddenly his fingers flew like flying, and he started to operate the mecha. Da da da, the mecha danced on one leg, raising its legs and spinning , small jump, big jump, somersault, Ke Xia couldn't help laughing: "You are really talented."

This person is not a replicant at all, is he?There are so many loopholes, but he is so undisguised, open and frank, but still pretends to be childish, so natural, what is the purpose?

Shao Jun was also happy to see him laughing, and continued to toss about with great interest. Ke Xia looked at the little mecha, and remembered that it was a toy given to him by his uncle, and his father taught him how to operate it.

He sat quietly, and suddenly felt very peaceful in his heart. Since he returned to the empire and stepped in, this place has been a breathless place for him. It is oppressive, terrifying, and gloomy. He suffers from insomnia every night. , he feels that living himself is a sin every moment, his parents and his little sister seem to be calling him to go to the field together, and life is too boring, boring and lonely, so that the idea of ​​​​hoping that he can rest in peace , which I haven't had for a long time, came to my mind again.

But now, those once warm details of life suddenly come back, following this house.My mother taught me how to read words one by one, read lengthy poems to myself, played the harp to him and my sister, my father played games with me, taught myself swordsmanship, taught myself horsemanship...

His parents would never want him to commit suicide. They raised him with the most abundant love. Everywhere in this house is a proof of love.

The setting sun shone through the glass on the snow-white long-haired carpet, and the comfort and gentleness of the past also came back. Ke Xia leaned on the soft cushion on the long-haired carpet and watched the rattling of the mecha for a while. The spirit brought by long-term insomnia The sleepiness gradually came up again, and I fell asleep without knowing it.

This sleep was very long and comfortable. When Ke Xia woke up again, he found that it was completely dark, and he was covered with a wool blanket, and then the black-haired boy curled up and leaned against his back, with one hand on his On the waist, there is a gesture of hugging him.His eyelashes were long and closed, his breathing was steady and long, and he slept very peacefully.

Ke Xia turned his head and stared at him for a while, then got up and sat up, but Shao Jun immediately opened his eyes and sat up, his dark eyes were full of vigilance, his pupils were constricted, showing a frightened and tense expression , Ke Xia stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder that was about to jump up: "It's okay, it's safe here."

When Shao Jun saw him, he seemed to be slowly remembering where he was, and then the tense look on his face relaxed, and he smiled at Ke Xia.

Ke Xia asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Shao Jun lowered his head and touched it, and said, "Hungry."

Ke Xia nodded, took him to the restaurant, watched him continue to eat with a good appetite, as if he had never eaten such delicious food, but it was still the same as before, even though he ate very quickly , the waist is still straight, the dishes are neat, the plates are clean, and there is no disrespect. If the chef is here, I will only be happy to feel that my labor has been respected and cherished.

He looks like a child from a well-raised family, with quiet eyes and simple manners. Although he has begun to learn to speak, he is not noisy. Although he seems to really want to get close to Ke Xia, he is not annoying and sticky. He is really What about pretending to be full of flaws?Or is it done on purpose?

After the meal, Ke Xia saw him go back to the room, found Huajianjiu, looked at the surveillance camera he was asleep, and Huajianjiu said: "Because you are here, without your explanation, we did not dare to arrange someone to watch the surveillance , I just kept a backup." Shao Jun had arranged invisible floating monitoring probes around him, but they didn't dare to monitor Ke Xia.

Ke Xia said: "It's okay." He first scrolled down the progress of the video, and saw that Shao Jun had indeed had breakfast in the morning, so he walked through the garden and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Yuri, Shao Jun's face was a little unhappy, But Yuri said something, and then Shao Jun punched him, and the two started fighting.

Ke Xia turned on the sound of the video, stepped back, and clearly heard Yuri say: "If you don't behave honestly, put you in a cage."

Then the black-haired boy's face changed instantly, his eyes narrowed, and he punched Yuri's shoulder without hesitation. Yuri didn't have time to dodge at all, grinning his teeth in anger and shock, obviously he didn't expect him to understand It was even more unexpected that he dared to fight, the two soon started fighting, and the guards next to him stepped forward one after another, but they all looked like they were watching, until Hua Jianqin ran over and ordered them to be pulled away.

Ke Xia looked at them as if he was watching two milk leopards fight, and couldn't help laughing again: "Hua Jianqin is biased, there is no winning or losing, it's all Yuri being beaten, Shao Jun didn't suffer at all." That’s it. You’ve already kept your hands. You haven’t seen his crisp and ruthless strength in the arena. It only takes 1 minute to kill him. Hahaha, I think the guards just watched Yuri being beaten, Don’t you guys dislike Yuri?”

Hua Jianjiu was a little embarrassed: "He used to be from the Frost Crow's side. Some people in the guards must think that he was placed there, or maybe they didn't like it before. After all, the Second Army and the Third Army have deep grievances. It won't go away for a while, and many people still think that you were pushed away by the Frost Crow."

Ke Xia shook his head and smiled, "Don't do this next time, and order to punish each person with a one-month performance award."

Hua Jian Jiu answered, and Ke Xia pulled down the video again. Sure enough, he saw Shao Jun wandering in the villa and entered the gym. Fortunately, the central control service there was good, so he played the guidance video for him, and he quickly I got on the treadmill and ran... ten kilometers, which was a bit tongue-in-cheek, and then I watched him get off the treadmill and tried every equipment. It seemed that he felt a little boring, so he walked out again, wandering to the entertainment Then he picked up a few toys to play with, and was attracted by the colorful children’s picture books on the open bookshelf. He squatted on the wool carpet and saw the evening without moving. When Ke Xia returned, he bowed his head and talked with him. say.

Watching him in the video, I actually looked at him with condescending teasing and no kind jokes, but Shao Jun didn't seem to realize that when he looked up, he always had a smile that couldn't be concealed, his eyes sparkled, that kind of The eagerness and involuntary smile are too obvious from the video. If it is acting, it is really at its peak. Who would have thought that he had a fight with someone half a day ago, and there are still some blue marks on his forehead.

Ke Xia thought silently, watching himself sleepy after sitting for a while, leaning against the soft pillow, and fell asleep.The black-haired boy was still playing with the mecha enthusiastically, but after a while he suddenly found that he was asleep, so he immediately turned off the noisy mecha, and lightly took the wool blanket from the sofa next to him to cover him. On the bed, he even stroked his hair for him, stared at his sleeping face for a while, and then silently picked up another book to read.

After a while, he also seemed to be sleepy, yawned, and then leaned behind Ke Xia very naturally, hugged him from behind through the wool blanket and lay down, buried his face in the blond hair, closed his eyes, almost Immediately fell asleep.What's even more amazing is that after a while, the sleeping self turned around, turned around, and moved himself closer to the boy's arms, and even rubbed his head against his arms, finding a more comfortable position. position, the teenager even patted him on the shoulder in his sleep, extremely skillful.

Ke Xia almost felt suffocated. He didn't understand that he was able to fall asleep next to this duplicator who was so suspicious and full of flaws. He didn't even understand how this duplicant could get close to him so naturally and familiarly.Could it be the familiar entertainment room and mother's voice that made me feel relaxed?Or is it because of my insomnia for many days, neurasthenia, and being too tired?

Hua Jianjiu whispered: "I want to ask the patriarch if it is possible to find him. I suspect that he is a bit like a member of our Huajian clan. He has black hair and black eyes, and uses chopsticks. Send the video to the patriarch to see, can you watch it?"

Ke Xia's eyes fell on the video. Under the orange-red sunset, the boy naturally put his head next to him, his arms stretched out to wrap him in a peaceful sleep, nodded and said, "Check."
