Marriage [Interstellar]

It was already evening when Yan Yu came back.

In the brilliant rays of the setting sun, Lou Qing sat alone in the small courtyard in a daze.

Yan Yu walked over and sat down beside him, and Lou Qing leaned gently on Yan Yu's strong arm; the snow leopard broke out from Yan Yu's body and arched under Lou Qing's palm, hoping that Lou Qing would rub him a few times Just feel better.

Lou Qing pinched Snow Leopard's ear, and slowly closed her red and swollen eyes, leaning against Yan Yu and not speaking.

Yan Yu leaned against him, his tail circled behind him, like an invulnerable embrace.

The two of them sat like this until the sunset completely set and the street lights in the yard came on, and Lou Qing finally made a sound.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to do."

Yan Yu looked down at him, but didn't answer.

Although Snow Leopard did not see the scene of Lou Qing returning to the little old man again, the information he brought back earlier and what Wu Lan and the guards passed back in the afternoon were enough for Yan Yu to piece together the truth—he had He guessed, but he really didn't expect about Lou Qing's father.

Lou Qing grabbed the snow leopard's soft fur, his eyes fell into the void and couldn't find focus.

"Actually, I didn't like my younger brother at first, because my mother gave birth to him with dystocia, and passed away not long after. I was young at that time, and I didn't understand that it was not his fault, so I really wanted to stay away from him. But the old man saw I came out, and I wanted to make our brother relationship better, so I always asked me to take him, and he also likes to cling to me - small, delicate, and crying, so troublesome.

At that time, I was a little bastard. Seeing him like this, I tried to bully him in different ways. I deliberately ran so fast that he couldn't catch up with me. I was so anxious that I burst into tears.The old man always scolded me for this, but he still clings to me.

Once I deliberately ran very fast again, but when he was chasing after him, he fell and cut his lip and bled a lot.I was terrified and ran to the next street to find a doctor with him in my arms.The medical expenses used up my petty savings for two months, but fortunately his wound was not deep, but the amount of blood was scary, and the bleeding stopped soon after the medicine was applied.

I was a bit annoyed when I found out the outcome - it wasn't easy for me to save some money back then.But my younger brother was very happy. He pinched my sleeve and laughed out loud, saying 'I caught my brother'.At that moment, the annoyance in my heart disappeared immediately, and it was at that time that I began to be a real brother. "

Lou Qing showed a nostalgic smile, as if he had seen the epitome of the reverse flow of time.

"My younger brother is very obedient and very smart. We have no money to send him to kindergarten, so I teach him by myself. He can do three-digit arithmetic at the age of four. The old man said that he might be able to read the same grade as me soon. , maybe I can still be a classmate. I didn't take it seriously at first, but I didn't expect my brother to listen to it, and then the progress of learning is very scary.

However, he was not my classmate. When he was only 7 years old, he unintentionally participated in a nationwide TV competition, and then he was chosen by the highest university in the alliance, and he could enter without examination.

He was not happy at first, because he was too far away from home, but later I told him that if he didn't go, I wouldn't want him, so he went to study.However, even if it is free schooling and free three meals, it is impossible to have no expenses, especially in places like the highest universities in the alliance.The old man and I racked our brains to find ways to earn more money, otherwise even the travel expenses for my younger brother would be enough.It was also at that time that I realized that I had to leave Savimaso, otherwise Savimaso would always be like this. "

Lou Qing took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"I left on the day I became an adult. I didn't tell Lou Ping that I was leaving in advance, because I knew he would never let me go, but he still found out.

He used the money he earned from being a tutor and part-time job to buy the fastest spaceship ticket and fly back. He made a fuss with me when he came back, and then locked himself in the room and couldn’t come out.He thought he was cheating, but the old man and I both knew what he wanted - so I put a half-filled suitcase in the room on purpose, and sure enough he got in.

I didn't take the suitcase with me, and the old man waited until I left before telling him I was gone.Later, the old man told me that Lou Ping was crying stupidly, and I was still happy. I want Lou Ping to be more careful in the future. Cleverness and cunning are two different things... Now that I think about it, he must have been very angry at that time. "

Lou Qing smiled silently, and sighed again: "I haven't seen him since then. After I left Savimaso, I went to many places, met many people, and made a lot of money I sent most of the money back home, and Lou Ping would take some money back. The old man’s life was much easier, and I also felt that Lou Ping was promising, so I was not in such a hurry to come back. I started to take risks everywhere .”

Lou Qing did not elaborate on those days, but after a long period of silence, he let out a heavy breath, "Actually, when Lou Ping was an adult, I planned to go back, but I heard that Lou Ping entered a school. I was an intern in the institute, and after the coming-of-age day would not be held, I refunded the spaceship ticket."

Yan Yu reached out and gently rubbed Lou Qing's hair.

Lou Qing looked up at him: "Actually, today I've been thinking, if I had gone back, would our family have died of old age? It's not what it is now."

This time Yan Yu answered Lou Qing's question very firmly: "No."

Snow Leopard also threw himself into Lou Qing's arms, trying to find a sense of presence.

Lou Qing hugged Xue Leopard, touched his stomach to comfort him, and then asked Yan Yu: "Why?"

Yan Yu: "Lou Ping is 7 years younger than you. He was already 28 years old when you encountered the disaster of Deyuan Card on the island."

Lou Qing understood what Yan Yu meant, and just opened his mouth to explain something, but Yan Yu reached out and patted his arm lightly to interrupt, and continued.

"I know what you want to say, what happened later made him who he is now, maybe if he wasn't infected, he would still be your brother who clings to you.

But the reason why people are so complex and individual is precisely because they are tempered by life.Lucky or unlucky, happy or painful, these experiences create an independent person, but it is everyone's own choice to stick to what principles to live on.

What happened to him was unfortunate, but are these artificial humans, soul fragments captured at will, and people who are played like dolls lucky to 'resurrect from the dead'?He chose to gallop when it was time to stop. How did Savimaso come to be in the league now? Your father doesn't have these memories in his consciousness, but you should be able to guess.

Lou Qing, indeed, maybe when you returned to Savimaso, he might not be infected.But that doesn't mean he'll grow up to be the harmless person you imagined he would be.You can't punish yourself for his mistakes, if you want to help him, help him correct them. "

Lou Qing looked at Yan Yu and was quiet for a while without speaking.

"I know."

Lou Qing finally took a deep breath, then stood up from the ground, went to sit between Yan Yu's folded legs|legs, reached out and hugged Yan Yu's firm body, "Your Majesty, give me a hug."

Yan Yu smiled, and hugged Lou Qing gently with both arms, the snow leopard also hurriedly came over from the outside, wrapped around Lou Qing's body to fill the gap left by Yan Yu's arm, and stuffed Lou Qing firmly into it. safe haven.

Lou Qing fell asleep directly in Yan Yu's arms.

He is very tired this day.

The next morning, when Yan Yu woke up, he unexpectedly found that Lou Qing had already woken up.

He put on his clothes and went out. It was still dark, but the lights in the living room were already on. Lou Qing was broadcasting live on Vast.

Yan Yu stopped when he saw the floating virtual camera, but Lou Qing looked back at him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is up."

Yan Yu responded and looked at the lens of the glasses again.

Lou Qing then said, "I'm live broadcasting, can you help me?"

Yan Yu was a little surprised, but without hesitation, he rolled up his shirt sleeves as he walked towards Lou Qing.

"Your Majesty likes to wear shirts very much."

Lou Qing watched his actions, and suddenly laughed and teased, "I like it."

Yan Yu rolled up his sleeves for a moment, then naturally wrapped his tail around Lou Qing's waist, and said in a pleasant tone, "Yes."

A piece of dog food swiped across the live broadcast room.

Lou Qing smiled and ordered Yan Yu to wash the vegetables.

Yan Yu obediently took the ingredients - he had also done these, but they were all wild beasts in no man's land, cut into pieces or roasted directly, but obviously this experience did not apply to Lou Qing's breakfast.

Click.

A seashell that Yan Yu just took was crushed by him.Dead without a whole body.

Lou Qing: "..."

Friends in the live broadcast room: "..."

Lou Qing laughed, handed over a towel, and then rescued the remaining seashells, "Your Majesty, you should go to those two cups of coffee, I want to drink."

Without further ado, Yan Yu stood up and went into the kitchen, and brought out two cups of coffee, one large and one small, after a while.

Lou Qing's hands were not empty, so he opened his mouth to Yan Yu: "Ah."

Yan Yu carefully fed him a sip, and Lou Qing laughed after drinking: "It's delicious."

Yan Yu also laughed, took a sip of coffee before asking Lou Qing: "What are you doing?"

What he actually asked was what Lou Qing wanted to do with the live broadcast so early, but Lou Qing didn't answer the question: "Make strange seashells."

So Yan Yu immediately guessed the answer and glanced at Lou Qing.

Lou Qing smiled calmly: "I think what you said last night, Your Majesty, is right."

Yan Yu saw that his expression did not seem to be strong, so he also smiled: "Just think about it."

Lou Qing snorted, then held up a black, shriveled fruit to the virtual camera and said, "This strange-flavored seashell is our family's unique secret recipe, and the key to the secret recipe is this—hexiangguo. This is my old man’s own name, I don’t know what it’s called, it’ll cause diarrhea if eaten raw, but after being boiled and dried, it’s a very unique condiment.”

Lou Qing put down the fruit and started slicing it, while explaining to the audience in the live broadcast room, "We use it to make strange seashells most of the time at home. I really like it, and I can eat a bowl by myself. But my brother doesn't like it very much. , probably because I was tricked by the old man to eat lotus fruit raw and had diarrhea."

Lou Qing talked to himself without stopping.

But the audience in the live broadcast room were all at a loss.

"His Highness said his brother? What brother? The little prince?"

"No way, Your Highness is an artificial human."

"But he just said about his old man, I'm dumbfounded."

"I don't know if you have heard of the legend of Deyuanka's soul..."

"??? Why did you suddenly change the script??"

Lou Qing didn't pay attention to the speculation in the live broadcast room, and he quickly made the strange-flavored seashells.

"This thing needs to be marinated for more than four hours to be delicious, and it can be stored in the refrigerator now."

Lou Qing held up the bowl of strange seashells, looked directly at the virtual camera in the live broadcast room and said, "Lou Ping, this is a coming-of-age gift I owe you, and I'll be waiting for you in Golden Island."

After speaking, Lou Qing turned off the live broadcast.

·

At the same time, in the Palace of Savimaso.

The man's black-gloved hand lightly covers the virtual screen, and the picture freezes when Lou Qing is holding a bowl of strange-flavored seashells and looking at the camera, as if Lou Qing is looking directly at the person outside the camera.

After a while, a hoarse voice sounded in the room: "Brother..."
