The Cat and the King [Interstellar]

Kelly was half right. Ever since the squad leader promised that Ryan would be there today, many girls came dressed up.

Not everyone can enter the Imperial University. Apart from the requirements for academic performance, most of them are the children of nobles. When they graduate, these will also become their social circle. Nearly half of the nobles in the empire graduated from there. This is no exaggeration.

Maintaining a stable relationship with classmates is not just a nostalgia for the youthful years of the past, but also a desire to achieve a win-win situation in family cooperation and connect with each other's feelings.

But there is a kind of people who don't need to do this at all, such as Rennes.

The glory of the family is all judged by the actual record, so Ren just stayed in the class for more than a year, and then joined the army without warning. The only person in the class who can contact Ren is currently Atlantis finally returned to China after much difficulty, and I heard that he was going to participate in the class reunion.

The protagonist of the dinner party has not yet arrived, so everyone can only continue to socialize while waiting. When Renn appears, he can walk over with restraint, chat and get acquainted.

"Atlans just sent a message saying that it's downstairs." The squad leader said in the group chat.

Ren held Ding Dong's hand, he was always afraid that this guy would die if he let go.Even in the winter, Ren's hands were warm, which made Ding Dong, who didn't like the cold, grab Ren's hand with both paws, absorbing some warmth from it.

"Let's welcome Ryan!"

The moment the door was pushed open, strong light hit Ren and Ding Dong.

Ding Dong frowned for a moment, and was hugged by Ren when he was about to run away.

"Not afraid, not afraid." Ren said. "These are my classmates."

When a group of girls at the ball saw such a scene, they were immediately blindfolded. Ren was attending with his companions, and the two of them looked like glue, and there was nothing wrong with them.

"Yo, it seems that many girls are going to be heartbroken today." Seeing this scene from a distance, Kelly laughed.

"How do I remember that you also liked Ren when you were a student, does it hurt to see this scene?" The short boy next to him spared no effort to make up for it.

"That's different. My mother chased him so passionately when she was a student, but in the end she couldn't break the knots. This made me feel that I am not very attractive when I am single. Now I am happy to see this scene."

Kelly stretched out a finger and shook it in front of her old classmate, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

"Are the two related?"

"It has a lot to do with it. If he brings a woman today, I will be inferior. Bringing a man is just inappropriate."

The little orc was alive and well when he was at home, and it was unavoidable that he would be a little bit unfamiliar when he came to such a public place. He held on to Ren's woolen coat tightly, and followed Ren wherever he went like a little tail.

Because they had just met, many people were curious about the identity of this fellow traveler, but they didn't talk to that familiarity level, so they could only hold back in their hearts, and looked at the little orc with curious eyes.

The little orc looked back unwillingly.

"Ren, I finally see you." Monalton was the class monitor at that time. After graduation, he joined the Imperial Court to work. Apart from Ren and Atlans, he was considered a man of the class. As the class monitor, Renn won with a high number of votes, but in the end he asked himself to temporarily act as the class monitor because he needed leg rehabilitation. Unexpectedly, this acting role would be his entire college career.

"How is it that you are doing well in the army now?"

"It's okay." Ren's own unit does not need to be kept secret, so most people here know that Ren is already the captain of the First Fleet, the top battle fleet of the empire, and the youngest major general.

"Where do you work now?" Ryan asked in the spirit of reciprocity.

"I work in the Imperial Court, and you know that my father has some connections there." Monalton is not ashamed to admit that he is a related family. After all, such things are not uncommon in the Empire, and it is normal for a son to inherit his father's business What's more, he has done a good job these years.

The soil of the empire has always been to exploit the majority of people and allow a small number of people to get rich nutrition. This is the way of the world.

Ren nodded in understanding.

While Ren was surrounded and chatting, someone approached Atlans.

There have always been two class flowers in college, one is the famous wild overlord flower Kelly, and the other is the pure lily Neville. When others surrounded Rennes, Neville appeared in Atlanta around.

She wore a snow-white skirt today, and her slender neck protruded, making her as graceful as a swan on the dance floor. The moment she passed by Ryan, she said softly.

"Can I change my partner with you?"

Ryan's dance partner is Atlantis.

His palms were slightly sweating, Ryan felt his heart constrict for a moment, and then he saw that Atlans extended his hand to invite Neville.

Silently backing aside, the so-called exchanging dance partners is just a nice way of saying it, because a pet that already belongs to someone else cannot dance with others without the owner's permission. On the other hand, all those present are nobles with status, And no one likes dancing with other people's pets on the dance floor.

Ryan was left alone, and he withdrew from the dance floor and sat quietly in a corner, trying his best to keep himself inconspicuous.

On the dance floor, Atlans hugged Neville's waist, and Neville also very cooperatively handed over the dominance of his body to Atlans, and the two danced lightly on the dance floor.

"Miss Neville didn't come to me today just for a dance."

Everyone can see how proud Neville was when he was a student. Atlantis has a bad reputation and loves to play. Naturally, he and this goddess do not often walk together. She did not attend the previous student gatherings , It must not be that simple to find yourself suddenly this time.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. The one next to Ren... is the same kind of person as your dance partner just now?"

Neville's vision is so poisonous. His father is the Duke of the Empire. The rare treasures he has seen since he was a child may be more than the number of rice meals eaten by others. He began to doubt at the first sight.

His limbs are slender, and although his skin is not as delicate and fair as that of an orc, his facial features are exquisite. Standing with Ren, he looks a little short, which is exactly what an orc might have.

But not sure.

The orc pet will not have that look. Although he was a little scared when he entered the venue, he was not timid. His eyes were only momentarily at a loss, and then he calmed down very quickly after being comforted by Ren. pets, they rarely have that look.

"The same kind of person? Which kind of person is Miss Neville talking about? I don't understand." Atlans laughed. Although he seemed unreliable in front of Ren, he was actually the heir of the family. Atlans is clear in his heart. Although he loves beauties, Neville is a white rose who can hurt people. Naturally, beauties and buddies choose buddies before. Ren doesn't like others to know Ding Dong's identity. He does it no matter what. I won't say anything about it either.

"Orcs, pets raised by nobles." Neville said close to Atlans' ear, parting his vermilion lips.

"Then how do I know? Miss Neville is so interested, why don't you ask yourself?" The smart Atlans knew that no matter what he answered, he would not dispel the young lady's thoughts, so it was better to tell Renn in advance He copes.

"Then we can only excuse you temporarily." Neville let go of his hand, and Atlans sent the young lady away without being a gentleman to keep.

The reason why Neville inquired about Ding Dong was very simple. Because of jealousy and natural pride, the daughter of the duke did not have the courage of Kelly after meeting Rennes, so while she despised such vulgar and arrogant behavior, she also envied him. , She had been waiting for Ren to take a look at herself, but in the end she waited for Ren to leave.

He went to the army.

Now that he came back with great difficulty, but there was an extra male companion by his side, how could she accept it.

Halfway through the party, Neville finally walked over to Ren by reason of a toast.But the closer they get, the more they understand that the relationship between the two is unusual.

Ren's crutch is both a tool and a weapon, so he rarely leaves his hand when doing things after rehabilitation, but it is completely different now. He has been holding the jingle in one hand, and a gentleman's stick in the other hand. Even if he wants to take meals, he can Will not let go of Jingle's hand, but put the gentleman's stick aside.

Although Ding Dong said little during the whole process, Ren watched Ding Dong's expression almost all the time to judge whether he likes to eat or not.

"It's been a long time, do you remember me?"

What you need most to be a battleship commander is the ability to coordinate and observe. You can string together some small clues in the battle. Although it has been many years, with Ren's super memory, he still found out about Neville from his mind. data of.

"Your pet is so cute, how old is he today?" Neville understood that if she asked abruptly, Rennes would definitely have a bad impression, so she chose this opening.

"pet?"

Neville thought he had found a suitable questioning method, but it was a pity that his cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness. Ryan withdrew the polite smile on his face, and looked at Neville without the slightest tenderness.

"I don't know why you use the word pet to describe someone close to me. Miss Neville is too rude to say that." Ren's words are not serious, and they are indeed in line with etiquette, but they weigh heavily on Neville's heart But it was far from what she had shown, so much so that she forgot Li Lishu's blurted question.

"Then who is he to you?!"

"Brother, I want to eat that." Ding Dong's words were very complete and fluent. Ren had taught him to shout countless times before, but he was always unhappy, either hesitating or running away, but this time Shouting so smoothly.

"Brother?" Neville was very surprised. It was the first time she heard that Ryan had a younger brother.

Ding Dong looked at the woman in front of him. His senses were very keen. Neville was not kind to him. She had been observing him since entering the hall. This feeling was very familiar to Ding Dong who had been squatting in the wasteland preparing to hunt.

Neville wanted to say something, but the squad leader smoothed things over.

"It's not surprising that a nobleman has a distant brother. Okay, my eldest lady, can I invite you to dance?"

The attendant came out of the back kitchen pushing a small trolley. On the trolley was a huge and crystal-clear fish. It was also the main dish of the day. It was a deep-sea fish specially caught from the country of the sea. The fish bones inside the transparent body clear and distinct.

As soon as the dish came out, Ding Dong couldn't move his eyes.

"Take a small plate."

Ren no longer paid attention to Neville. He had no special affection for this young lady when he was a student, and what he said just now made it impossible for him to do so in the future.

Ding Dong was holding the plate, standing quietly waiting for the servant to slice the food and put it into his own bowl. His eyes were shining, and he looked like a small animal waiting to be fed. Note that there are actually two people in one plate.

Ren also got a plate, and found a place to sit with Jingle.

Ding Dong stuffed the fish fillet into his mouth with a fork, and then laughed contentedly.It's obviously not a noble behavior, but it doesn't make people feel bored. People around can't help but nod when they see this scene.

It's no wonder that Ryan likes this younger brother so much. They haven't seen someone with such clean eyes for a long time.

After eating two plates of sashimi, Ren felt that it was almost time, so he bid farewell to his classmates and left with Jingdong.

Ren, who left the hotel, didn't go back to the car directly. The two of them strolled on the street, jingling and talking less, while Ren was thinking about something.

Neville began to suspect at a glance today, indicating that the identity of the orcs is not so easy to hide. Their skeletons are smaller than those of the Emperor Stars. If they investigate specially, they may find some flaws.

In addition, the accompanying stone will have a response to the spiritual power of the orc...

"Ray...en?"

"what happened?"

Ding Dong looked at the sky, and an orange-red cheetah-shaped mecha flew over the sky, and made several difficult maneuvers when passing the channel, causing many spaceships below to stop and watch.

That must be a student majoring in mechs.The most popular and most difficult profession on Emperor Star, mecha warrior, if the command of a battleship is the overall plan, and the mecha warrior is a striker that can be used for the coordinator. High-performance mechas can move freely in the universe, as long as With enough energy, he can become a knife and plunge into the heart of the enemy.

This is the career that all men in the empire yearn for, Mech Warrior.

The hand speed required for the operation of the mecha is astonishing. Why can a person coordinate the activities of the four limbs? It is because the brain mobilizes the composition of the whole body. The same is true for the mecha. The human brain is the brain of the mecha, but the body Neuromuscular movements rely entirely on one hand to give instructions.

Extraordinary mental strength plus the best hand speed and body coordination ability, this is what a mech warrior needs.

It sounds simple, but it has stumped countless people.

Ren suddenly thought of the scene of Ding Dong on the spaceship. It was his first time on a warship, but he was able to adapt extremely quickly, and he was already alive and kicking in just a few days.

Maybe Ding Dong can try it.

"Want to learn?" Ren picked up Ding Dong and let him sit on the high platform, keeping himself and Ding Dong at the same level, and then asked seriously.

"what is that?"

"Mecha."

The physique of orcs is relatively weak, and no one would doubt that a mech warrior would be an orc, so Ren planned to let Dingdang try, of course, this was based on Dingdang's liking.

"Think." After thinking for a while, Ding Dang said firmly that he may not know what a mech is, but he knows that flying like that is very free.

"Then let's go home." After making up his mind, Ren immediately took Ding Dong home, but he didn't know that the two people wandering around in the central area had become a sight in the eyes of others.

A photo was sent to the Internet with the title: Two people.

When Ding Dong raised his head and looked at the mecha, there was light in his eyes, there was no greed, no envy or jealousy in his eyes, he simply liked to be innocent and curious like a child, Ren looked at Ding Dong dotingly like a big parent, There was a smile on the corner of the mouth, and the two held hands. Behind them was the bustling crowd in the central area, which was as warm as a painting.

When Atlans came home, he refreshed the Internet and saw a photo. Looking at this photo, Atlans' expression became a little complicated.

Ren is too concerned about this little orc, and his unconscious expression can always best reflect a person's true emotions. Although Ren does not regard the little orc as a pet, the status of the orc population in society is indeed not high. Gao, let alone the younger brother, even ordinary friends spread scandals about nobles.

Ryan sat on the side, he looked at Atlans with his chin resting, the soft light shone on Atlans, there were no maids in the room, no one disturbed him, he could watch him so quietly, for Ryan This is the most precious time.

Atlans turned off the optical brain, and when he raised his head, he collided with Ryan's eyes. Such eyes made Atlans feel "thumping" in his heart. There was something else besides warmth and attachment. It's just a fleeting moment that makes people think that there is a hallucination.

"Are you finished?" Ryan panicked for a moment, but then calmed down and asked.

"I'm done." Atlans stood up and moved his body, then crossed his hands and took off his shirt.

"You will send me my pajamas later, I need to wear them after I take a shower."

"Okay." Ryan nodded and agreed. This is the habit of Atlantis. In the past, it was the servant who took the clothes, but now he has become himself.

"By the way, don't stay with me to sleep tonight. I'll ask the maid to tidy up a room for you." As if thinking of something, Atlans added.

Atlans is a person who is not resistant to cold. He likes to cling to people to sleep in winter. He originally changed his bed partner. Later, after having an orc, he hugged the orc to warm the quilt. So Ryan has been in this house since he first came. She doesn't have her own room, so she eats and sleeps with the young master, but today Atlans sleeps alone uncharacteristically.

Ryan stood where he was, with a gentle smile on his face, and watched Atlantis enter the bathroom. Afterwards, he tidied up the desk that Ryan had messed up, and took the newly cleaned and disinfected bed from the maid. The robe was placed at the door of the bathroom, and then he went to the basement of the villa, found a quilt, and curled up quietly in the cold cellar.

Atlantis is good to him, but he forgot that an orc is not qualified to have his own room in this villa, just like other pets are no different, only humans can have rooms, and pets There can only be one nest.

Ryan clearly understands that only by being silent can he stay longer in this house and cause less trouble to the young master.

"I was careless today." The cold air invaded the orc's body, and the only thing he could do was to wrap up the quilt tightly and spend the entire long night relying on the only warm memories.

At this moment, Ding Dong had fallen asleep with the quilt stretched out, but the seat next to him was indeed vacant, and Ren was not beside him.

The butler lit the lamp and sat in the ancestral hall of the Rennes family, carefully rubbing those glorious medals and trophies. This is the most glorious place of the Rennes family. Only the steward and the head of the family have been able to enter it. It will be in a few days. It's the family's memorial day, and there's nothing he can do but come here and wipe these things carefully and repeatedly.

"Butler, so you are here?" Ren walked in.

As long as you can't find Butler Bull at home, you will definitely see him here. Ren has already guessed.

"Yeah, when I'm with these things, I can always think of your parents. At that time..." Bull fell into the memory.

"They are all dead things, people are gone." There was not much pain in Ren's eyes, he said lightly, but only those close to him knew how much this young major general was suffering.

He witnessed the death of his parents with his own eyes, and when he sent them away, he pretended that nothing happened, forcing himself to grow up to support the glory of the whole family, and Ren paid an unimaginable amount for this room full of things that would not decay. Working hard, repairing a broken leg, rehabilitating, dropping out of college, joining the army, and participating in battles, Ryan put on a mask for himself, without a trace of warmth on it.

"Don't mention this, what's the matter with me?" the butler put down the trophy in his hand and asked.

"I want to ask if the toys I had when I was a child are still there? Those are the little toys for practicing mecha control."
