wandering planet

When there were two intersections away from the Danwan Bookstore, Lin Ni found that he could not move forward.

The crossroads were very congested, and the propaganda team holding Mr. Malt’s headshot and the poster of the new book had a dispute with the team protesting the lowering of the admission standards of the Marseille Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the entire road was blocked.

Linney had no choice but to leave the ground car, walk through the crowd, and walk directly to the Danwan Bookstore.

Mr. Malt's new book is titled "The Knight and the Maiden in the White Rose Bush". On the poster, there is a handsome young knight and several women with white roses around him.

Linney glanced at Mr. Malt's mugshot and noticed that the well-known popular writer's smile was so stiff that it looked like he was wearing a mask due to over-retouching.

He began to feel resentful.

After returning to Marseille, he was quickly packaged as a "hero" by the Marseille fleet and the United Parliament of the nations.

One of the effects of the "hero" effect is that the books he wrote before have been on the bestseller list for nearly a year and have never fallen.

Lin Ni didn't say anything, but he was very proud in his heart.Compared with being a "hero" or becoming "General Lee Swright", obviously being a writer makes him happier.

But never expected that just the day before his work "Spirit of Fire" was about to set a record of "occupying the first place on the bestseller list for a year", that is, on the 364th day—in fact, today—this Records were broken.

"Spirit in Fire" was squeezed to the second place, and now Mr. Malt's "The Knight and the Maiden of the White Rose Bush" occupies the first place.

Lin Ni has seen Song Junxing's collection, and naturally he has also seen the works of Mr. Malt.

He didn't even bother to comment on these books.

But his views obviously do not represent the views of ordinary readers on Planet Marseilles.After trying so hard to get to the door of Danwan Bookstore, Lin Ni was in despair again.

"You can't enter without an invitation letter?" He was sweating profusely, and his clothes were ripped apart by someone in the crowd. "How can I get an invitation letter?"

"It's very simple!" The bookstore clerk said hoarsely, with a tired face, "All you need to do is show me the record of purchasing Mr. Malt's books. You can get an invitation letter for more than [-] books!"

Linney: "...Is there any other way?"

Clerk: "Yes! Please take this questionnaire, and you can get an invitation if you score 95 or more!"

Linney took the paper questionnaire from him.

The stem of the first question is very long, and it is a blunt description of hundreds of words. It seems that a certain strong fisherman was dragged into the sea by an octopus again.

"Which chapter of which work is this content from Mr. Malt? Please write the answer in the blank space, and briefly write down your reading feelings about this work."

Linney put down the questionnaire, turned around and left.

Just when he decided to give up looking for Song Junxing here, and squeezed hard to the corner of Danwan Bookstore, someone poured wine from upstairs of the bookstore, dripping onto his shoulders.

The wine is quite fragrant.Lin Ni patted his shoulder and was about to raise his head to curse, but unexpectedly saw Song Junxing leaning on the balcony on the second floor of the bookstore with a somewhat familiar man, smiling at himself with his head down.

Linney: "..."

Now he not only wants to scold people, but also wants to beat people.

It has been almost four months since Lin Ni and Song Junxing met last time.

In the past four months, Lin Ni failed to find Song Junxing, and Song Junxing never came to him.

Linney reflected on the reason, thinking it was probably because of a quarrel four months ago.

According to his father's last wish, Lin Ni wanted to arrange Song Junxing to work in the Marseille fleet, but Song Junxing refused.

Song Junxing refused to say the reason for the refusal, and a very serious dispute broke out between the two.Although there was no big fight, the result was more serious than the big fight.

After Song Junxing returned to Marseille, he had been living in the mansion of Liswright's family. On the night of the quarrel, he packed his small luggage and ran away without saying hello to Lin Ni.

After the death of General Lee Swright, Linney was again awarded the rank of "General", and the necessary entertainment and work suddenly multiplied.When he returned home, Song Junxing had disappeared for almost a week, and he couldn't be found no matter what.

In fact, if Linney really wanted to find it, he would definitely be able to find it as long as he used some of the power of the Marseille fleet.But he didn't.

It was like a wrestling with Song Junxing, the two of them had a tacit understanding and never took the first step towards each other, until at this moment, Lin Ni conceded the defeat.

"You don't work in the fleet, but you come here to work?" Under the leadership of Song Junxing, Lin Ni finally entered the Danwan Bookstore.

Song Junxing said that he would introduce Mr. Malt to him, and took him directly to the second floor.

"I don't have a part-time job." Song Junxing said, "It's just that I'm living at Mr. Malt's house now."

Linney thought he had heard wrong.

He shook his head, a kind of inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

"What's your relationship with him?" He grabbed Song Junxing's clothes, "Live at his house?"

Song Junxing looked back at him, with artificial surprise in his eyes.

"I have nothing to do with him."

"It doesn't matter if you live..." Linney stopped talking halfway.He felt that his current behavior was weird, like a vexatious person.

"I have nothing to do with you, General Lee Swright." Song Junxing grabbed the hem of his clothes and shook, shook Lin Ni's hand away, and then smiled, "Didn't I also live in your house for a long time?"

Lin Ni stood on the stairs in a daze for a while, and finally realized that Song Junxing was angry.

During the dispute four months ago, Song Junxing asked him: What is my relationship with you?Why are you "scheduling" me a position?

"My relationship with you? Do you still need to ask?" Lin Ni was furious at the time.

He still clearly remembers his answer—"You are a companion who has experienced interstellar travel together, and you are the administrator of the Black Sea trusted by my father. You are also the hero of the Phoenix and Marseilles, and you can definitely get a job in the fleet."

Is there a problem with this answer?Lin Ni looked at Song Junxing standing in front of him, dumbfounded: he thought his answer was perfect, and even praised Song Junxing, there was absolutely no problem.

Song Junxing pushed open the door of the reception room, opened his arms exaggeratedly, and showed Mr. Malt who was waiting inside an affectionate hug that Lin Ni thought was too intimate.

"This is General Lee Swright, right?" Mr. Malt quickly let go of Song Junxing, seeming to be more interested in Lin Ni, "Or would you rather I call you Lin Ni?"

Song Junxing raised his hand and introduced: "Yes, he is General Lee Swright."

"Linney, Linney..." Mr. Malt held Linney's hand tightly, with an affectionate and sweet smile on his face, "You are more moving than the photos published in "Spirit of Fire."

Song Junxing stared at the hands they shook.

Linney took a few glances at Mr. Malt, and found that the best-selling author had obvious plastic surgery marks on his face.He should not have such a straight nose, nor such perfect eyes and lips.The artificially modified facial features made him look very handsome, but the facial muscles seemed to be frozen and hard to control. When he smiled, he really looked like he was wearing a mask.

Song Junxing grabbed the hands of Mr. Malt and Lin Ni and pulled them away.

"The introduction is over." He said to Mr. Malt, "You should go to the reader meeting."

Mr. Malt was obviously very reluctant to Lin Ni: "Will Lin Ni wait for me here until I come back?"

Linney said no, no.

Song Junxing: "Yes."

Mr. Malt left very reluctantly, and before leaving, he still hooked Lin Ni's finger, reluctantly.

After he left completely and closed the door, Song Junxing jumped onto the windowsill and sat down, squinting his eyes and staring at Lin Ni.

"Now I know why he took me in." He snorted, very displeased, "He is looking for someone who can help him organize his books and archives, and I will apply for it. After knowing that I am from the Phoenix, he immediately They kept me, not only gave me a guest room, but even offered to share the dining table and study with me."

Linney grabbed the curtain and wiped his hands vigorously.

There seemed to be traces of alcohol remaining on Mr. Malt's hands, which were sticky and uncomfortable.

Song Junxing leaned over and took a warm and moist towel from the table, and grabbed Lin Ni's hand to help him wipe it.

The crowd outside the Danwan Bookstore gradually entered the store, and the sky slowly darkened, and three or two stars began to flicker faintly in the sky.

Linney felt an indescribable tenderness at this moment.

He decided to communicate with Song Junxing properly.

"Why spend so much money on drinking?" He said calmly, "Why do you still have to imitate my name to sign the bill? I told you how much my monthly salary plus benefits are. It's fine if you drink it, can't you afford it yourself?"

"The bill for the wine has arrived?" Song Junxing looked at him, "What about the food, the boat and the vineyard?"

Linney: "..."

This may be his scariest moment this year.

"What are vineyards and boats!!!" Linney yelled, "What are you doing out there!!!"

Song Junxing grinned: "The vineyard is on the border of Miservia. You know Miservia, right? Ovid's hometown. Although it is rainy all year round, there is a place on the border that is sunny. The wine there It's very delicious. There is a special wine made by the manor, with a little honey in it, and it is delicious when paired with Toure's bread."

He chattered for a long time, and Lin Ni suddenly felt a little tired.

When they were still on the Phoenix, when the six of them were still with Fei Lian, everything was simple and straightforward.There is only one goal, and the way of getting along is very happy. Although Song Junxing often does things that make him unhappy, he is still cute when he is gentle.

But now Song Junxing is unpredictable.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ni couldn't help interrupting Song Junxing, "What do you want to do, can you tell me clearly."

Song Junxing stopped talking.He put down the towel, straightened Linney's collar with his hand, and evened out the crooked place.

"If I confess, can you help me realize it?" He asked in a low voice.

Lin Ni's long hair has been cut short. Song Junxing has seen photos of him wearing the uniform of the Marseille fleet. He is tall and handsome, very good-looking.He secretly washed one by himself, put it in his wallet, and took it with him everywhere.

But now that he was getting closer, he missed Linney with his long hair tied back hastily on the Phoenix.

Lin Ni frowned, but he didn't avoid Song Junxing's intimate behavior.

Song Junxing kept his thoughts so mysterious that Lin Ni felt a little uneasy.This person doesn't want to marry himself, does he?He suddenly became terrified: Although Marseille's law does not prohibit same-sex marriage, he is not fully prepared for it yet, especially with Song Junxing.

If you really want to get married, maybe you can invite Jiang Che and Ovid to Marseilles... You can also ask Pierre, who is stationed on the outskirts of the Alpha galaxy, to go home, and even Tang Mo can come back.The six of them could meet again.

But such a big thing as marriage... Lin Ni's mind was in a mess, nervously waiting for Song Junxing's next words.

Song Junxing spread his arms and leaned against the railing of the window.The railing only occupies the lower half of the window, and it is an exquisite wrought iron railing, which is the characteristic of the Danwan Bookstore.Song Junxing raised his head, stuck his head out of the window, and looked at the completely darkened night sky.

The stars are shining in the distance.

"I want to go back to the Black Sea." He said softly, "General Lee Swright, I want to continue to be the administrator of the Black Sea."
