wandering planet

Every time Song Junxing called Lin Ni by "General Lee Swright", Lin Ni knew that it meant he was very unhappy.

But obviously not unhappy now.Song Junxing sent some kind of official signal to Lin Ni.

"Why go back to the Black Sea?" On the one hand, Lin Ni was embarrassed by his strange idea just now, and on the other hand was full of surprise, "I thought you were tired of staying in the Black Sea."

"I was very tired at first." Song Junxing looked at him seriously as if remembering something, "Speaking of which, I haven't shown you the entire terrain of the Black Sea, especially the lake..."

The corner of Linney's mouth twitched, but he didn't smile.

Song Junxing often said "we" or "you", but he couldn't make up six of them.

As if realizing that he was wrong, Song Junxing fell silent again.He looked up at the starry sky again, the evening wind blew his hair, and a silver earring that was buttoned on his ear at some point shone against the city lights.

It feels uncomfortable.Lin Ni found that many things seemed to have happened during the four months Song Junxing left, but he didn't know anything.

There was silence in the reception room.

After a while, Song Junxing jumped down from the window sill, pulled Lin Ni to sit on the chair, and himself sat on the table.

Lin Ni couldn't help asking him: "If you want to take us to see the Black Sea, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why did you make such a decision when you came back after running for four months?"

"I didn't do it after I ran away..." Song Junxing picked up an apple on the table and took a big bite. "I had this idea before I ran away."

Linney was dazed and sad.He couldn't tell whether this sadness had the same source as his reluctance to part with Jiang Che and Ovid, but when he heard Song Junxing say that he had long thought of leaving, he felt out of breath for a moment.

"Continue to stay at your house, I feel like a waste." Song Junxing said.

He thought for a while, then turned his head and said with a smile: "But I was also a waste in the first place."

For Song Junxing, it was General Lee Swright who changed his life.

The old man gave him a choice, and he accepted it, and he began to do work that he had never thought of before, into the realm of no concept.

When the Phoenix returned to Marseille, everyone became a hero.

Linney was called "General Lee Swright", Pierre was promoted, and began to serve as the deputy captain of an important military ship, and participated in the construction of the crisis defense system of the Alpha galaxy.

Even Tang Mo and Song Junxing, who seemed the most idle, hardly saw her face.

Lin Ni brought back a backpack of Griya Gold Diamonds to Bering, and Bering gave some to Tang Mo.Tang Mo finally paid off her usury loan, and started down to business with ease: she is starting to sort out Lin Ni's voyage notes and the records left by herself, combining the history of the "Great Retreat", trying to fill in the incomplete parts, And record the things related to the "Phoenix Airway" in detail.

All great projects need recorders.On the way back, Xue Ming told them this.

The establishment of the "Phoenix Airway" is the result of an unexpected trip.This harvest is too important to the earth, Marseilles and even human beings, it needs a recorder.

Tang Mo was eager to do this.During the four months Song Junxing wandered around, he also went to visit Tang Mo.Tang Mo bought a small house near the library with the money left over from debt repayment and the rewards given to heroes by the Marseille official. He ran around in various places related to the history of the "Great Retreat" every day, and started at night when he returned home. organising materials.

Song Junxing was very surprised.Tang Mo still has a huge interest in eating, but apart from that, she spends almost all her time on it.

When we parted, he said he still wanted to hear Tang Mo sing, and Tang Mo sang for him.The two were walking on the street illuminated by the moonlight. Song Junxing carried his simple luggage on his back and held Tang Mo's hand.Tang Mo often sang this song on the Phoenix, when growing vegetables in the cultivation room, and when writing stories in the cockpit.

In the song, there is a soldier who bid farewell to his wife and children when he was young. After many decades, he returns from the universe.But his wife has passed away, leaving only a grave for him.The old soldier cried out in agony in front of the grave. His daughter hugged her child and asked suspiciously: Who are you?

Jiang Che said that this was the first song he and Ovid heard Tang Mo sing.

Song Junxing wanted to ask Tang Mo why he sang this song, wouldn't it be better to sing something else?For example, the postman boy courts the shepherd girl, or the groom gets drunk and is teased by his friends on the wedding night. These are very happy and good songs.

But he listened in silence.He took Tang Mo by the hand, as if walking in the moonlight with his dear family.He knew that Tang Mo was the same as him, thinking of the time spent with everyone on the Phoenix.

It would be great if Tang Mo and Pierre got married.Song Junxing murmured in his heart when he hugged and said goodbye to Tang Mo, so he had a reason to call Jiang Che and Ovid back.

If not, what chance is there for them to reunite?It's impossible for him to marry Linney.he thought sadly.

Talking about meeting and parting with Tang Mo, Song Junxing became sad again.This sadness is rare in him, so it is very precious, and Linney is also infected.

"If you miss Tang Mo, we can visit her together," he said.

"It's not just because of this... You see, everyone has something to do." Song Junxing looked into Lin Ni's eyes, "Lin Ni, except me."

Linney: "I said, if you want, I can arrange one for you..."

"I only know how to be an administrator of the Black Sea." Song Junxing held Lin Ni's face so close that his nose almost touched.

Linney shrank back subconsciously, but couldn't escape.

"What should I do?" Song Junxing asked him in a low voice, "Lin Ni, I have traveled so many places and found that I am still a waste."

With Lin Ni's current ability, it is not impossible for Song Junxing to return to the Black Sea as an administrator.

The Phoenix route once again made the route between Marseille and the earth smooth, and the Black Sea, as a necessary place, was also re-set as a transit point.

But when the Black Sea was evacuated before, almost all the buildings were destroyed. If the Black Sea wants to become a transfer station capable of working, it will take a long construction period.

Therefore, it is now the time when manpower is most needed.

Song Junxing once served as the administrator of the Black Sea, and he has been stationed on the Black Sea alone for so many years.He couldn't be more suitable.

In fact, the job that Lin Ni wanted to find for Song Junxing at the beginning also happened to be the administrator of the Black Sea.

The idea didn't come out of nowhere.The department in charge of deploying Black Sea personnel has come to him many times, all wanting to inquire about Song Junxing.They couldn't find Song Junxing, they only knew that he was living in General Lee Swright's house now.

Lin Ni earnestly won many things for Song Junxing that he might never have thought of, such as fixed monthly holidays, personal ships with higher standards, and the privilege of not being inspected for books brought in and out of the country.

After listing everything, the other party felt surprised: "General Lee Swright, all we need is an administrator... These rights seem to be a bit too much, such as the conditions for personal ships, which are too much, you can only enjoy such ships ah."

Linney thought I can enjoy it, why can't he.Don't you know how many years he stayed in the Black Sea?Don't you know how difficult it is for him to guard the Black Sea alone?You don't know him... well, there are a lot of things they don't know.

Or in other words, except for Lin Ni and Pierre, it is impossible for anyone in the Marseille fleet to empathize with Song Junxing’s suffering in the Black Sea and the hardships he had to cross the long journey with the Phoenix.

He wanted to fight for more and better things for Song Junxing, and wanted him to live happily and comfortably even if he arrived in the Black Sea.

However, when he got home and saw Song Junxing, Lin Ni began to hesitate.

He wasn't sure if Song Junxing was willing to accept the job of administrator of the Black Sea. After all, once he became an administrator, it meant that he would be separated from Lin Ni for a long time.

Lin Ni was worried for a long time, but he couldn't discuss it with anyone.The only person who could communicate with him in this way was Jiang Che, but at that time Jiang Che and Ovid were both active on the southern continent of South America, and there was no way to contact him immediately even through the Earth Defense Fleet.

Moreover, the communication between the Marseille fleet and the Earth Defense Fleet is to be monitored and recorded.Linney quickly dismissed the idea.

In his opinion, if Song Junxing was to choose, Song Junxing would definitely choose a job that could move on the ground in Marseille, or even around him.

So at this moment, Song Junxing took the initiative to propose to him to return to the Black Sea. After the initial shock, Lin Ni began to be confused.

"Does living in my house make you uneasy?" He was very worried, "Song Junxing, if you become the administrator of the Black Sea, you will not be able to stay in my house."

He thought about the second half of the sentence, and felt that it was not appropriate to say it.

"You won't be able to see me every day in the future."Linney thought, this is really not right.But why it was wrong, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Song Junxing was stunned.

He really wants to do something, and he really thinks it's suitable for him to continue to be the administrator of the Black Sea.

But I really don't want to be separated from Lin Ni.No one has given an accurate definition of the relationship between them.When they were on the Phoenix before, they seemed to comfort each other and pass the time with each other, but there was no deep affection.What Kelinni didn't know was that Song Junxing had known him for a long time.

From the words of General Lee Swright, and from the records left by Cicero, he already knew Linney.

This proud, intelligent, sensitive and irritable young man made Song Junxing full of interest in getting acquainted with him.

Song Junxing threw half of the apple in his hand and grabbed Lin Ni's shoulder: "You don't want me?"

Linney: "...I think you might miss me."

Song Junxing: "I understand, you really can't bear to part with me."

He grinned, showing a row of great white teeth.

Linney thought the man's comprehension was pretty bad.

"I'm not reluctant, but you may be reluctant!" He emphasized again, "Song Junxing, just look at the way you wait for me to go home at the door every day. If you go to the Black Sea, you will definitely break my communicator. The number of communications is too high. Too much and it will short out."

Song Junxing completely ignored his defense and was still talking to himself.

"You should be reluctant to part with me." He said, "Your father said, Song Junxing, you are my chosen one and a hero of Marseilles. The Liswright family should take care of you for the rest of your life."

Lin Ni was taken aback: "When did you say that?"

"Just told me, you may not know." Song Junxing couldn't find the slightest trace of lying on his face, "Now that the old general is gone, it will be you who will take care of me for the rest of my life."

Linney: "Can't you take care of yourself? Why should I take care of you for the rest of your life?"

Song Junxing kept laughing: "In exchange, I can take care of you for the rest of your life, are you willing?"

Linney decided to cut off this utterly stupid conversation.He pushed Song Junxing away and stood up. Before he could take a step, Song Junxing opened his arms and hugged him.

He was taken aback, thinking that Song Junxing was going to kiss himself by the window in this strange place, and subconsciously resisted.But Song Junxing just hugged him, kissed his forehead, and said with a smile in his ear: "Well, I lied to you and didn't ask you to take care of me for the rest of my life."

I knew it.Linney thought, Father wouldn't say such a thing.

"But he told me to let me take care of you, it's true." Song Junxing said again, "It's not like what he would say, but at that time he had...I'm sorry, you couldn't hear it."

Lin Ni calmed down in his arms, and it took a long time before he let out a soft sigh.

Song Junxing rubbed his hair and rubbed it carefully a few times to comfort him.

Lin Ni didn't know if what Song Junxing said was true or not.He did not get to see General Lees Wright on his deathbed.

Waiting for him and the Phoenix to return from Earth, General Lee Swright used biological means to prolong his own life when he knew Linney was still alive.

He was waiting for Lin Ni, and also for the good news brought back by Lin Ni and the Phoenix.

Linney didn't disappoint him.

General Leesright didn't really like these biological methods.All kinds of life-sustaining drugs and appliances supported his weakened body. He was extremely tired, but he could only bear it.

After Linney returned to Marseille, he quickly stopped taking the drug and had the equipment removed.

Linney protested, but General Lee Swright was unwilling to extend his life. "I want to die normally and with dignity," he told Linney. "The Leesrights don't fear death, and I don't. Best news of all."

The people in the Marseille fleet still want to continue his life.

The opening of the "Phoenix Airway", the publicity of the restart of the Egret space station, and the sacrifices made by General Lee Swright's children for Marseilles, as well as the numerous feats he has made, all make him an object of admiration for the Marseilles .

Faith is necessary, and when this faith falls on a certain person, he must live forever.

The plan given by the people in the fleet is not to use biological means, but to directly transplant organs.

Due to his age, General Lee Swright's organs had seriously failed, and only by replacing them all could he continue to survive.In order to obtain the most suitable replacement donor, they hope that General Lee Swright will sign an agreement to allow the people in the fleet to use his genes to create clones.

This clone will use growth-promoting means to accelerate physiological maturity in a special environment. According to the plan, after about five years, he will be able to provide General Liss Wright with completely healthy and suitable organs.

"Just wait another five years." The people in the fleet repeatedly persuaded, "Five years later, General Linney will also get married and have children, the Phoenix Airway will be fully constructed, you can see a more prosperous Marseille, and you can go directly to Earth , take a look at our hometown."

It was tempting, but the old general refused without even thinking about it.

"I have a child who looks exactly like Cicero because he is a clone." He said slowly, facing the visiting fleet officials in the room, and also facing Linney who was standing at the head of the bed at that time , "He is also named Cicero and is serving on Egret Space Station."

The fleet official nodded: "We know. We will reward all the members on the Egret space station."

The old general continued to speak slowly as if he hadn't heard what he said.

"Another child of mine, he has just returned home from a long journey. He should have told you in his report that one of the people who traveled with him on this long journey was a young clone. He Like my second Cicero, I went through a rather difficult process of self-identification."

Linney stared closely at his father.

"Stop this project, Ava." General Lee Swright called his junior affectionately, "Your family has such ability, you should appeal and fight for it. The Maasai should have stopped the human cloning project a long time ago. It serves no purpose other than to harden us and make us indifferent to normal pain. How is a cloned child any different from us, except that he was not born from his mother's body?"

Half a month later, General Lee Swright stopped breathing in his home.

At that time, only Song Junxing, his loyal AI housekeeper, and two students were by his side.

At that time, Lin Ni was still at the meeting organized by the United Nations Parliament, listening to Xue Ming and experts from the Australian station introduce the crisis defense system they established for the Alpha Galaxy and Marseilles based on and referring to the solar system crisis defense system.

The system was very complicated, and the meeting was closed. After four and a half hours, Linney received a message from home.

He hurried home immediately, not even daring to say a word along the way.All emotions were tense until he saw Song Junxing standing by the gate waiting for him.

Song Junxing often waited for him like this. Sometimes when he came back too late, Song Junxing would directly suggest that the two of them go out for a drink or eat some Marseille specialties.They will take the ground aircraft again and go to places Song Junxing was familiar with but haven't been to for a long time.

Sometimes Lin Ni felt that Song Junxing was annoying, but when he saw Song Junxing's red eyes that day, he couldn't hold back his tears.

Let Song Junxing hold his hand tightly and bring him to his father's bedside.

Father had stopped breathing.His students were calling the Fleet to take Linney's place at work that he might not be able to do now.Lin Ni knelt beside the old general's bed, unable to say a word, and choked up when he opened his mouth.

The people he loved would leave one by one like this, and he couldn't even say goodbye properly.

After sending the news of the old general's death to Egret Space Station, Lin Ni sat alone in front of the communicator and waited for the other party's reply.From Marseille to the Egret space station, even the best communicator of the Marseille fleet has to wait a full 12 hours.

Song Junxing stayed with him all the time, listening to him talk about the past with his brother and father in the quiet room.

If Song Junxing was not there at the time, Lin Ni has no doubt that the god of death dormant in his soul, the god of death who was suppressed by Jiang Che's salt and pepper shrimp and Tang Mo's singing, would stretch out his cold claws on his throat again .

It will always come back to life.Linney knew.The god of death, who had no specific name, was with him all his life. It was always waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Linney to open the door unsuspecting to it.

He still remembered Song Junxing holding his hand and listening patiently and calmly.He didn't even need any reaction from Song Junxing, as long as he was in front of him and he listened, that would be fine.He needed an exit, he didn't let his father know the existence of that god of death—even though his father might have known it—but he could expose him to Song Junxing.

Young Linney was not a proud and bright man.The god of death has parasitized him since Cicero's death, frightened him, and humbled him.

At this time, being held in Song Junxing's arms, Lin Ni slowly closed his eyes.

He was really reluctant—Linney whispered to himself, not too much, just a little.Song Junxing is his exit, who would want to keep his only exit away?impossible.

"I won't be able to take care of you when I go to the Black Sea." Song Junxing told him, "Oh, it's really difficult to make a choice."

Linney: "...Go, go quickly. I don't need your care."

Song Junxing: "Did you agree?"

Linney fell silent.He has no right not to agree.

"If I go to the Black Sea, will you come to see me?" Song Junxing asked again.

"No." Linney replied quickly.

"If you come to see me, remember to bring Mr. Malt's new book. He will write ten books this time about The Knight and the White Rose Maiden, and it is estimated that one book will be published every two months. Don't forget."

Linney was a little annoyed: "I won't go!"

Song Junxing still said to himself: "But you don't want to meet him. Buy books directly at the bookstore. I have a black gold super VIP card..."

Linney sighed again.

Although reluctant, but there is no way.When will the six of them get together again?Get together and talk about what happened to each other.It will be a very interesting meeting, maybe Jiang Che and Ovid will bring special products from the earth...

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he no longer paid attention to what Song Junxing was saying.

Song Junxing babbled for a long time, kissed him on the top of his head, and said reluctantly: "I really can't bear it...why should I go to the Black Sea?"

Lin Ni suddenly realized: "...Didn't you say you were going?"

Song Junxing laughed again: "Do you believe me when I tell you? What I say may not be true. Haven't you been used to it for a long time?"

Linney: "Liar! Black sea garbage!"

Song Junxing hugged him and dangled: "It's about falling in love, that's it. True and false, false and true."

Lin Ni was taken aback again, and this time his face was a little red.

"D-Talking about dating?" He protested loudly, "Who is dating you?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Song Junxing sealed his mouth with a kiss.

Going to the Black Sea doesn't mean that once you want to go, you can go there immediately.

Song Junxing received training for about half a year, took countless tests, and finally got the approval of the Marseille Fleet. He not only became a full-time employee of the fleet, but also began to serve as the administrator of the Black Sea.

The night before the farewell, Lin Ni still worked overtime, and Song Junxing prepared a bunch of messy things to spend a crazy night with him, but he kept watch until one o'clock in the morning, and no one came back.

He had nothing to do, drank some wine to stay awake and ready for battle, and began to check his communication equipment.

After receiving the official appointment, he immediately sent good news to several partners.

Tang Mo is on the same planet as him, so the speed of recovery is the fastest.She couldn't forget the marauder's intestines, and hoped that Song Junxing could bring her some back.

"If you bring it back, I will invite you to eat hot pot together." Tang Mo said.

Song Junxing hesitated for a moment, thinking that if Lin Ni saw this message, it might cause him an uncomfortable reaction, which would indirectly affect the quality of the crazy night, so he quickly deleted it.

Pierre was the second to reply.

Pierre is on duty at the outskirts of the Alpha galaxy, participating in the construction of the crisis defense system.His reply was quite satisfactory, and he even reminded Song Junxing worriedly: "You may not know that General Lee Swright—that is, Linney, now has many supporters in the Marseille fleet, and his popularity is no less than that of his brother Cicero. He's called a hero by the people in the fleet, and I've seen many sailors post promotional photos of Linney in fleet uniform on the walls of their dorms, and they'll even hold some old, bewildering, old-fashioned ceremonies over the promotional photos before their big missions. Rituals, such as burning incense and prostrating..."

Song Jun looked at ten lines at a glance, skipping nearly a thousand words of detailed descriptions.

"... I once accidentally mentioned that you are now Linney's partner. The news spread throughout the Marseille fleet within a week. Your photo has also spread around, and many people have pinned it to the wall, wantonly Insulting and smearing..."

Song Junxing: "..."

"...Song, this was my mistake. I extend my sincerest apologies to you and sincerely wish you all the best in the Black Sea."

This is too scary, Song Junxing thought, it will definitely make Lin Ni worry, and then affect...

He also deleted this one.

Jiang Che and Ovid's reply letters have not yet been received, and Song Junxing thought with regret that they don't know which deep mountain and old forest they are working in again.

Turn the list of letters to the end, and a new email is on the list.

The sender is marked as "Fei Lian".

Song Junxing was surprised and delighted, and quickly opened it.

The email was indeed sent by Fei Lian, but it was not a response to any of his messages, as if it was just to share some news with Lin Ni and others in Marseille.

Fei Lian told Song Junxing that he is currently serving in the South Pacific Biological Disaster Response Force.

"This is really a terrifying army." Fei Lian wrote disturbing words in a calm tone, "I thought you were crazy enough, but obviously my understanding of human nature is far from enough."
