Deep Space Knight

The handle|gun.

The cat's eyes were full of a smile of success: "Give me back the pistol, I'll accept the knife, you're welcome."

Before Qi Han could react, he carefully wrapped the knife in a cloth and put it close to his body.

Qi Han vaguely felt that he whispered four words.

Seems to be……

... token.

☆、Chapter 38

In the hinterland of Phoenix [-], there is still the last spacecraft launch site still in operation.

The subway stopped at a place that could not be approached any closer. A group of people got off the train, helped the wounded and the weak, and walked up to the ground along the stagnant escalator.

Sheng Rui removed a pole from the subway car and used it as a crutch.

Qi Han looked at his limping gait and said, "Actually, I can carry you on my back."

"Well...that's not good." Sheng Rui stretched out his free arm, "You can just support me."

Juno and two people stood on both sides of the passage exit.Every time a person passed by, he would pat that person on the back and report a number at the same time.

"97, 98, 99..."

Sheng Rui raised his head and squinted slightly to look at the wriggling team on the escalator.

"You said, will there still be room for so many of us?"

"I don't know." Qi Han hesitated for a while, and said honestly, "As far as I saw the situation before, it's not very optimistic."

"Really..." Sheng Rui's eyes turned helpless.

There was only so much he could do: bring these people as close to hope as possible.As for whether the trip can be made in the end, it is not determined by personal strength.

He patted Qi Han's hand, "You are a technical officer, so you should have the priority. If I can't leave, don't worry about me."

Unexpectedly, this sentence was immediately pushed back by the other party: "That's my business."

The too blunt tone made Sheng Rui a little astonished, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the other party.Qi Han stared straight ahead, his lips pursed straight.The eyelashes cast deep shadows in the green pupils, like entangled and hidden water plants in a pond.

"Are you angry?" Sheng Rui observed his eyes, "Why?"

Qi Han remained silent.Sheng Rui is used to his appearance, and no one can get the answer out of his mouth for the questions he doesn't want to answer.

Juno finished counting and gestured at the top of the escalator.Sheng Rui nodded, and was supported by Qi Han to climb up the steps.

For a moment, the escalator was empty, with only the two of them supporting each other.

"Why aren't you afraid of death?" Qi Han suddenly asked, "I've never seen you panicked."

"Ah?" Sheng Rui didn't understand why he asked this, and thought for a while, "Probably because I'm afraid every day, so I'm used to it. You know, if an emotion is repeated a lot, you will become numb. "

"Maybe." Qi Han's voice was flat, "But I know that there is one emotion that will not be numb, that is regret. I don't want to regret, so don't drive me away."

After saying these inexplicable words, Qi Han fell into silence again.

Many years ago, his mother said goodbye to him.

Little did he know at the time, it would be a permanent farewell.However, no matter how long it had passed, he still remembered one detail: her long black hair was pinned behind one ear, revealing a gold stud in the shape of a daffodil.Those were my mother's favorite pair of stud earrings, worn only on special occasions.

Later his grandfather said to him: "Your mother must have been suffering from something we can't understand, and she was convinced that this was the only way out. It was no one's fault. Everyone does everything and someone has to. reason. We may never understand that reason, but it must be understandable."

This was my grandfather's only comment on the matter.Other than that, he never mentioned a single word about Qi Han's mother.

But Qi Han has a knot in his heart.Moreover, as he gradually understood some human affairs, this knot became more and more difficult to ignore.

That day, when his mother said goodbye to him, for a brief moment, he vaguely felt that his mother seemed to hope that he would keep her.It was like a distress signal, saying to him: Please don't give up on me.

He thought about that moment again and again.He didn't know if it had ever really existed, or if it was a false memory brought about by the later results.But he still couldn't get rid of this thought: If, if he had done something at that time, hugged her, or even just said goodbye, would it have ended differently?

Like many people who have decided to give up on themselves, my mother also unconsciously sent out a weak cry for help at that brief moment.He was keenly aware, but his autistic and cowardly nature prevented him from responding.

When he became an adult, he understood one thing: a person can be brave many times in his life, but he can only be cowardly once.

The remorse brought about by cowardice this time will accompany you for the rest of your life, so that you will never have any reason to be cowardly again.

The instructors and companions called him thefearless, the fearless.

However, in this world, a truly fearless person may not exist.

Only the gods are born fearless, and the rest are just ordinary people who have lost something because of cowardice, and have no reason to be cowardly ever since.

***

The school bells are disturbing.

Xue Yuan barely opened his eyes, thinking about today's schedule vaguely, but couldn't think of anything.

Qi Han's face vaguely appeared, leaning over Xue Yuan's body.Dappled sunlight through the leaves hit him from behind, and his face was unreal.

Xue Yuan's drowsiness was heavy and sleepy, and he murmured: "I don't want to go to class today, so help me with the roll call."

"... roll call?" The other party's tone was very puzzled.

Damn it.Xue Yuan cursed in his heart.What is the next class?He couldn't remember, he just felt full of anxiety.

Qi Han stopped talking and touched his forehead worriedly.

The semi-cold temperature made Xue Yuan regain his senses in a daze.

The person in front of him is not Qi Han, but Qi Lian.

I am not at school, but in the tea break next to the governor's office.

Xue Yuan rubbed his hair and sat up, and glanced at the closed black lacquered wooden door of the conference hall, where the senior executives of the fleet were still having a meeting.

Before, Ye Baizang told him to wait here with Qi Lian.As a result, the waiting time was too long, and he fell asleep lying on the sofa unconsciously.

"How long have I slept?"

"One thousand 130 seven seconds!" Qi Lian replied quickly.

"Normal people would say 'almost two or ten minutes'." Xue Yuan recalled with a headache that he was playing an extremely boring game with Qi Lian before he fell asleep: he casually reported a number and asked Qi Lian to calculate its factorial, and the result was How many digits, how many zeros there are in total.

"The last number you said was 99999." Qi Lian still had a look on the game, "I figured it out, the factorial result is 456569 digits, and there are 68615 0s in it. —— Am I right?" He said like Children are just as eager to be affirmed.

"..." Xue Yuan didn't bother to use the computer to check again, and he agreed indiscriminately, "Yeah, it's quite right."

Qi Lian happily took out a piece of square paper, opened it, and solemnly drew a stroke on it: "Five 'positive' characters. Tonight you will kiss me 25 times."

Xue Yuan rolled his eyes: "I just said, you counted it as a kiss once, but I didn't say it will be fulfilled tonight."

"Oh." Qi Lian didn't realize that the other party was cheating at all, "anytime is fine. You can say another number, I still want to count."

"Let's stop here today, I'm afraid you'll crash. I've never repaired a humanoid computer." Xue Yuan changed his sitting position, staring at the two black lacquered wooden doors preoccupied.

He wasn't high enough to go in and listen in, but he found out through the gossip that there was a new trend on the other side: Xia Changying offered to negotiate.

And not only with the Phoenix family, but also with all other fleets at the same time.

Xia Changying's request was very strict: the governors of all the major fleets must gather together and meet at the main ship of Mian.If any party is not present, the scorpion will join forces with other fleets to attack it.

At this time, why did Xia Changying come out like this?What is the purpose?

But Xue Yuan was more concerned about what Ye Baizang wanted to do when he called Qi Lian here.

On the coffee table in front of you is an exquisite three-tiered tray, with colorful macarons round and fat.

Xue Yuan picked up one and turned it over, and sure enough, he found a flower letter in the skirt of the small round cake.

I will not admit my mistake.This mark was made by the pastry chef specially hired by the Xue family.

The governor ate it once by chance, and seemed to be very interested, and he was always full of praise every time he mentioned it.So my father would ask the pastry chef to make a box of high-quality pastries every now and then, but the family was reluctant to eat it, so he sent Xue Yuan to the governor's mansion.My younger brother loves macarons the most. He once wanted to steal a piece, but was scolded by his father.

Time has passed, and I didn't expect to see them again now.Counting it, it happened to be the total amount of one box, which was exactly what Xue Yuan sent when he visited the governor's residence last time.The governor didn't even move at all, just casually placed in this insignificant small tea room to entertain guests.

Those pastries that were sent a long time ago must have ended up in the same way.

Xue Yuan threw the macaron back into the tray, unable to describe how he felt.Sometimes, the so-called "emotional investment" is just wishful thinking.

However, it doesn't matter.

The relationship that needs investment to maintain will not last long.

With a click, the two closed wooden doors suddenly opened.

The governor's newly appointed assistant stepped out.This is a well-dressed, arrogant young man who replaced Qi Han's position in a short period of time.

"You, you, come in." The young assistant raised his eyebrows and raised his chin at Xue Yuan and Qi Lian.On the work card on the chest, the bold words "Lin Jing-Special Assistant to the Governor" broke into the eyes of the viewers from a long distance away.

For a moment, Xue Yuan had the urge to pick up the tray and slap the other person's face.

You're ugly, boy!Qi Han has been in this position for so long, and he has never been so defiant like you.

But when he thought about it, Xue Yuan's heart turned again—wasn't he also like this before?

Following Lin Jing into the conference hall, Xue Yuan clearly felt the strange atmosphere.There seems to have been an argument here, and the air still smells of tension.

The governor sat at the end of the long table, his hands clasped against his chin.After not seeing him for so long, he seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, with mottled gray hair, high cheekbones and sunken eye sockets.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the governor raised his eyes, and his eyes quickly swept over Xue Yuan.After a brief exchange of eyes, Xue Yuan read the complicated emotions in the eyes of the other party.There was helplessness, inquiries, and... a slight embarrassment.

Compared with the haggard governor, Ye Baizang on the side was calm and composed, with no expression on his sharp-edged face.

"Xia Changying requested that the governors of each fleet come to the main ship of Mianji, sign a truce alliance, and inform Yunei." Ye Baizang took his time, "However, this is very likely to be a trap. The heads of the fleets are under control together. Or, taking advantage of the emptiness of the management of the major fleets, launch a surprise attack."

Ye Baizang paused.

The governor went on to say, "So, Director Ye and I should think twice about who will go to the house and who will stay at home, so as not to give Xia Changying an opportunity."

Xue Yuan silently waited for the next words.These things are for the high-level to make decisions, so there is no need to say that he knows about them.

unless……

The governor continued: "Accordingly, I am the current governor, and this is my unshirkable responsibility. However, Director Ye believes that this trip is too dangerous, and he should go to the meeting on my behalf."

Xue Yuan had a vague guess in his heart.

Sure enough, the Governor's words confirmed his conjecture: "I just asked directly. Qi Lian will become Director Ye's exclusive security officer, and you have always been responsible for training Qi Lian. Do you think that with Qi Lian's current ability, Is it enough to protect Director Ye's personal safety?"

In the conference hall, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Xue Yuan together, with different expressions.

Xue Yuan immediately understood his current situation.

The governor and Ye Baizang are competing for the opportunity to go on an embassy this time.

Although this trip will be full of dangers, what they value more is the huge benefits hidden behind the dangers.

The governor's approval ratings have fallen, but he still has a chance of being re-elected.He urgently needs to recover his lost points in the public mind through such a heroic feat.

Not to mention Ye Baizang.If he went to Mianji, he was affirming that his status was equal to that of the governor.

It can be said like this: Whoever goes to the prey and escapes unscathed, that person will definitely become the next governor.

The result of the vote among the top leaders must be evenly divided.

Xue Yuan was just a small weight, but because he stood on a delicately balanced balance, he became a decisive force dramatically.

Ye Baizang and the Governor stared at him closely from two directions, like the hinged blades of pliers, firmly pinching Xue Yuan's nerves in the middle.As long as one of the knife edges is used a little force, his nerve will be cut into two pieces like a fragile wire.

☆、Chapter 39

The spaceship launch site is tightly sealed by ring-shaped barriers on all sides, like a jar without a lid, which only opens the only exit to the vast sky.

The bottom of the bottle is like a boiling soup pot.Countless people were running, howling, crying, cursing, and struggling, like a colony of ants whose nest had been washed away by boiling water.

"Should we still act together?" Rhodes asked hesitantly.

"No need." Sheng Rui shook his head, "You won't have better luck if you get together, so let's disperse here. Good luck."

"You are also lucky. We will see you later." Rhodes gave Sheng Rui a big hug.

A group of people scattered in all directions, and in a blink of an eye they merged into the raging crowd.

More and more people gathered under the launch pad of the spaceship. Later, those who pushed and pushed those in front, waves of violent impact on the separation zone, the gendarmes fired their guns into the sky to no avail.

"Don't get too close!" A gendarme struggled to maintain order, driving the crowd back. "The plume of the spaceship's engine will carbonize you all!"

But his voice was drowned out by more shouts and curses:

"Let's board the ship!"

"The space city is going to explode! It's going to explode!"

"X's! Get out of here! Get out of here!"

……

An arm held Sheng Rui tightly and rescued him from the crowd.

"Leave me alone, really." Sheng Rui looked at Qi Han helplessly, "Neither of us can leave like this."

Qi Han ignored him, placed him in a safe corner, and told him: "Don't move, wait for me here. I'll find a way."

With the special authority of the technical officer, Qi Han went directly to the dispatching tower.

The control tower was equally chaotic.Qi Han didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the dispatcher in charge of the commander-in-chief: "Arrange a place for me."

"Thank God! Fortunately, you are back!" The dispatcher raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve. "If I can't find the technical officer again, I will have to move my fingers to calculate the trajectory!"

While speaking, he turned on the screen and entered the authorization command, "Just go to the next shift and enter the cockpit directly from the tower. I will call the pilot to take the seat."

"It's not just me," Qi Han added, "I want to take someone away."

"This..." the dispatcher stopped what he was doing, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "You know that officers can't bring people without permission, even if you are a technical officer..."

Qi Han waved his hand to signal him to keep quiet, and leaned close to his ear to whisper a few words.

"...Really?" The dispatch officer was dumbfounded, "That person... an antimatter weapon?! But..."

"If you can contact the governor, you can confirm it immediately." Qi Han's eyes remained calm, "I came here for this reason."

"There is no need to confirm. There is a delay in the signal, which will delay the time." The dispatcher made a decision immediately and issued a special order.With Qi Han's personality and position, it was a strange thing to leave the governor and come to Phoenix [-].Unless, he is performing a special task to protect a special person.

"Launching Pad No. 7, take him away quickly. If it's later..." The dispatcher's eyes flickered slightly.Both of them understood what the unspoken words were.

Qi Han stopped talking, turned around and went back to find Sheng Rui.

Sheng Rui's legs were so painful that he couldn't bear it. He just slid to the wall and sat down. He didn't expect Qi Han to come back so quickly.

"Why—" Sheng Rui wanted to ask in surprise, but the words stopped on the edge of his mouth.

There was no joy on Qi Han's face, it seemed that it was not going to work.

Although he didn't have much hope at first, Sheng Rui's heart still couldn't help sinking, and he forced a smile: "I just said, leave me alone..."

"Don't talk." Qi Han blocked his words softly and bent down.

Sheng Rui felt that his body was suddenly suspended from the ground, and he was hugged horizontally.

Qi Han didn't delay, his figure was swift, and he flashed into a secret spiral ramp in the blink of an eye.A series of cement-colored screen doors flashed green lights to read the signal, opened one after another before Qi Han approached, and closed silently after they passed.

Qi Han's speed was astonishingly fast, his arms supporting Sheng Rui's body were smooth and steady, even though he was running fast, he didn't even tremble.

This posture of being held horizontally conforms to human mechanics and is very comfortable.Sheng Rui closed his eyes, feeling in a trance, as if he was lying on the back of a wolf dog, listening to the sound of the wind, passing through the wilderness of night.

A series of screen doors that keep sweeping backwards make this ramp look like a time tunnel.For a moment, Sheng Rui didn't even care about where the road led to, he just thought it would be good if it went on like this.

There was an unconcealable tiredness in Qi Han's eyes.He was obviously very tired, but he still tried his best to make the person in his arms lie comfortably.

The dark ramp turned suddenly, the light gradually brightened, the rising slope became gentler, and finally turned into a horizontal metal covered bridge.

This is the connecting corridor bridge of the spaceship, leading directly to the cockpit.

Someone was already waiting outside the cabin door, and the two were taken in.

Sheng Rui was placed in the cabin crew lounge.

The medical officer in white came over with an injection, "This is a sedative, it will allow you to sleep well."

"I think... I don't need to sleep." Sheng Rui hesitated.He wants to stay with Qi Han soberly, it will make him feel safe.

The medical officer explained: "Our spaceship has limited power and cannot rotate to provide centrifugal force. It will be in a state of weightlessness throughout the whole process. Being able to sleep is VIP treatment. Others can only hold a vomiting bag to support the journey."

Sheng Rui glanced at Qi Han.He knew the medical officer was right, but when he thought of losing consciousness in an unknown environment, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Qi Han saw his thoughts and held his hand to comfort him: "It's okay. Acceleration overload is very uncomfortable, you are not used to weightlessness, it will be much better when you fall asleep."

After hearing Qi Han's words, Sheng Rui no longer had any worries, and stretched out his arm to receive the injection.

Qi Han carefully fixed him in the sleeping bag.The effect of the medicine took effect very quickly, and after a few seconds, Sheng Rui's mind became blurred.

Before he passed out, he felt something half-warm touch his lips lightly, and there was a soft whisper.He wanted to hear what the other party said clearly, but the door of consciousness had been closed heavily.

Thanks to this injection of sedative, Sheng Rui saved a lot of suffering along the way.

He slept soundly throughout the trip back to Phoenix One.There was no scene of vomit floating in the back cabin, or the scene of the battered Phoenix [-] finally stopping its rotation and the nuclear reactor being detonated by the heat.

All the people who didn't have time to evacuate lost their lives with the destruction of Phoenix [-].

It was like a splendid and tragic pause, the warship and the Phoenix Fleet stopped this exhausting battle at the same time, and began to face each other silently in space.

Farther away, the other four major fleets were also silent.

The blue birds of the fourth fleet, the golden crows of the third fleet, the swan geese of the second fleet, and the chicks of the first fleet.

They have also received invitations from Mianji, secretly watching and thinking, with different moods, speculating about the changing situation in the future.

Later people summed up this period of history like this: Once a cat comes out, five soldiers don't move.

And the "sick cat" who will dominate this pattern in the near future is only sleeping in a pure dream at the moment.

In that dream, there was a clear deep lake and large daffodils.Across the dark sky, stood a wolfhound with gentle eyes, lowered its head, and touched his cheek with moist lips.

In the dream, he stroked the wolfhound's neck, both happy and sad.He vaguely knew that this wolfhound was his lover from now on.But it was getting dark, and he was afraid that he would not find him.

***

The temperature in the conference hall was obviously very pleasant, but Xue Yuan felt cold sweat faintly breaking out on his back and palms.

He bears sights from different directions.And those watching him are all executives who can determine his career and even the trajectory of his life with just a few words.

Everyone was silent.

Xue Yuan dug his nails into the palm of his hand, quickly calmed down, and performed a Tai Chi: "I can guarantee that Qi Lian is the best guard officer in Phoenix. But I don't know the situation of other fleets, so I dare not make any judgments."

"That's what you said." Ye Baizang moved his hand on the table, "So, we have a standard for comparison."

A hologram is projected on the wall in front of the conference table.

"You know this person and have dealt with him before." Ye Baizang crossed his hands on the back of the chair and turned the seat left and right slightly, "As long as your Qi Lian's ability is higher than his, you can think , Qi Lian has the ability to serve as my guard and guarantee the safety of my trip."

Xue Yuan looked at it and was slightly startled.

He does know that person.Not only him, but also many people in Phoenix knew him.

The person in the photo is a beautiful young man with narrow shoulders and thin waist, slender eyebrows and long eyes, a Greek-style high nose, and thin lips tightly pressed into a stiff straight line.Her skin was bloodless white, except for a cinnabar-colored tear mole under the corner of her right eye, like a red flower jumping out through the ice and snow.

His pupils are clear and light green, slightly mixed with golden brown.Her hair was dyed a strange moon-white color, like the moonlight shining into a forest spring, with only a dark lock on her forehead.

For many years, this person's name has been sealed in the Phoenix archives, but no one dared to mention it publicly.He used to be an officer of Phoenix, and he was the first genetically modified person of Phoenix, and served as the tactical instructor of Xue Yuan's military academy students.

However, after only taking Xue Yuan with them for a short year, this person disappeared with the death of another person.

"...Uranium cloud smoke?"

Xue Yuan called out the man's name in a voice.

***

In the vast sea of ​​stars thousands of miles away, the main ship "Uranus" of Dianji is looking up and down in the universe.

Xia Changying stood on the bridge, without turning his head to ask the people behind him: "Yunyan, what did you say about the scorpion?"

The young man behind him immediately replied: "Although a dragon is sleepy, it is not like an ordinary fish. Although a bird is lonely, it is not like a chick."

"Well said, well said!" Xia Changying clapped his palms in joy, "Although a bird is lonely, it's not like a chick. That's what I admire most about you."

The young man behind him smiled.Slender shoulders and thin waist, slender eyebrows and long eyes, a cinnabar-colored tear mole under the corner of his right eye.

In the entire fleet, if there was anyone who could be neither humble nor overbearing in front of Governor Xia Changying, it was only Admiral U Yunyan.

The relationship between You Yunyan and Xia Changying is like master and slave, but also like friends.With Xia Changying's temperamental personality, it is already a miracle that he can get along with him to this extent.

Uranium Cloud Mist is indeed a miraculous existence.Whether it's name, origin, appearance, ability, or experience, all of them are legends that have been spread across the world.

The word "uranium" is a unique new surname in the space age, which is exclusive to the first generation of genetically modified people.

Terrible radioactive substances, combined with such ethereal words as "Yunyan", have an indescribably strange sense of disharmony.

His eccentricity is much more than that.He dyed a head of white hair that is as pure as moonlight, and it is said that it is for self-examination in the mirror every day: life is too short, and it is easy to turn gray.

Another way of saying is that he has made a wish since five years ago, and every time he completes one step, he will dye a lock of hair white.

Now, only a lock of his hair in front of his forehead remains dark, as if to announce to the world that there is still the last step left in his volunteering.

As for what that wish is, there are different opinions, and there is no consensus.

Some people say that he wants to be the governor of the scorpion.

Some people also said that he wanted to unify the seven fleets and become the overlord of the powerful universe.

Others say...

He wanted to avenge his dead lover, and let "Phoenix" fall into a hell beyond redemption.

After accompanying Xia Changying on his inspection tour, Huan Yunyan returned to his residence.

This is a tall and wide marble mansion, carved with jade pots and embroidered with cloud lintels.

The neem flowers in the courtyard bloomed a tree far and near, and the garden was full of purple clouds like brocade.A few petals floated to the front of the breast with the wind, and Yun Yunyan twisted them up and held them in the palm of his hand.

Scenes from the past are like clouds and smoke covering his eyes, bringing him back to the distant time——

Six years ago, the Phoenix Fleet.

When U Yunyan lazily opened her eyes, she saw Chi Lian, topless, sitting in the milky white morning light, answering the phone.

You Yunyan stared at that beautiful back, and couldn't help stroking her fingertips up gently.Chi Lian couldn't help turning around in a hurry, grabbed his fingertips with a smile, and mouthed to him, don't make trouble.

Hu Yunyan hugged a pillow and lay down against her lover's body.His hair was all dark then, like amber wine in the morning sun.

Chi Lian took up the thread and began to put on clothes.

"Are you going to work overtime again?" You Yunyan was dissatisfied, "Didn't you say you can take a vacation today?"

Chi Lian quickly put on his shirt, "Well, it is said that the satellite repeater is out of order and the signal cannot get through."

"Why do I call you every time something breaks down? You are not the only one in Phoenix's technical department."

"You can't say that. Everyone has their own responsibilities." Chi Lian put on his uniform jacket, and hastily tied up the Windsor knot of his tie.

"What should I do if I don't want to let you go?" You Yunyan hugged him from behind, sniffing the fragrance of his neck lightly with her nose, "Resign, I will support you."

Chi Lian turned around and smiled brightly: "You are so poor that you can't even afford a house, how are you going to support me?"

You Yunyan also laughed, and smiled indulgently: "I can still afford the money to buy a second-hand small shabby house. Under the Hengmen, you can live late."

……

Uranus Yunyan, who was immersed in memories, had a concentrating smile on his lips.

The purple flowers of the neem tree are as bright as flowing clouds, covering the three golden characters hanging above the mansion: Hengmen Pavilion.

"Under the Hengmen, you can live late." You Yunyan whispered to the sky, softly and sadly, "Look, I built such a big house for you, but where are you?"

No one responded.

Hu Yunyan's eyes were still gentle, but there was a bit of chill in the gentleness.

"In a few days, a few people we all know will come here." There was a bit of chill in his voice, "What do you want me to do? Kill them? Or... let them be like me The same as back then, seeing with your own eyes the most cherished things being destroyed?"

The author has something to say: Well, my dears, happy Mid-Autumn Festival! (≧︶≦)

Someone asked in the message before, where did the third pair of CP that was originally announced go?

www, they appeared in this chapter~~(*￣︶￣*)

CP is Chi Li × U Yunyan, but Shou Jun has become a villain [cover face]

Although he is a villain, I still like him_(:з」∠)_

Although I like him, he is still a villain_(┐「ε:)_

☆、Chapter 40

In Xue's house at dusk, the setting sun casts mottled flower shadows all over the ground, and the fragrance of roses floats under the trellis.

Xue Yuan was preoccupied, and opened the iron gate of the yard.

Qi Lian kept asking curiously: "Who is that person?"

"Didn't I tell you several times?" Xue Yuan knocked on Qi Lian's head impatiently, "That's my former instructor."

Although he is an instructor, Hu Yunyan is actually only three years older than Xue Yuan, and he was only a 16-year-old boy back then.

Xue Yuan was slightly distracted, and Qi Lian's face came closer again, with a little bit of dissatisfaction: "Is he important? You have been unhappy about him." He stretched out his hand to smooth Xue Yuan's tightly knit face. Brows, as if caring for a piece of precious porcelain.

Xue Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh.This guy... is he jealous?

"I'm not unhappy. It's just..." Xue Yuan brushed aside the flower branches on the fence, and through the rose-colored twilight, he looked at a small octagonal white building with a unique shape from a distance.

It was Chi's small building.

There are two brothers and sisters in the Chi family, the elder brother Chi Lian is gentle and bright, and the younger sister Chi Caifan is delicate and lively, both were Xue Yuan's childhood playmates.

Chi Caifan had a crush on Qi Han since she was a child, but she never dared to say it out loud.In contrast, elder brother Chi Lian was much more daring, and fell in love with the instructor at that time, U Yunyan, at lightning speed.

It is common for men to interact with men in this era.

However, it is not allowed for a military school student to have a relationship with an instructor.

What's more, the identities of both parties in the relationship are extremely special: one is the son of a fleet executive, who is destined to enter the center of power in the future;

Their life path has been carefully planned from the beginning of their birth, and no deviations are allowed.

And once there is a deviation...

Xue Yuan sighed softly.

Such a strange love, and finally ended in such a way.Even though he was an outsider, he couldn't help feeling sad.

"You're upset again!" Qi Lian put his hand on Xue Yuan's forehead again.The most he can't see Xue Yuan frowning, just like he can't see the folds of a fine silk.

"Did you know?" Xue Yuan grabbed his hand and held it in the palm of his hand, "that person named You Yunyan was genetically modified like you. I told them in the conference hall today that you and him The strength is equal, but that is a lie. His combat power back then is not as good as yours now."

"Oh——" Qi Lian turned his face away, and deliberately pulled out a long tone, like a dog who was angry because the owner praised other pets.

"He had a lover at that time, just like my relationship with you, but even closer. No one blessed them, and forced them to separate. Guess what happened later?"

Qi Lian still looked away and shook his head.

"He killed his lover, betrayed Phoenix, and fled to Mianji."

Qi Lian looked back suddenly in shock, his eyes were full of unbelievable astonishment.

"Actually, I don't believe the truth is like this." Xue Yuan lowered his eyes and twirled a rose petal, "I think his lover asked him to do that. He just fulfilled the other's wish, that's all."

Qi Lian's lips moved, and it took a long time to squeeze out three words: "...why?"

"I don't know. But there must be a reason." Xue Yuan stared fixedly into Qi Lian's eyes, "If one day I ask you to kill me, will you do so?"

"No!" Qi Lian didn't even hesitate for a moment, "I would never do such a thing!" He withdrew his hand in a little panic, and hugged Xue Yuan's body, as if he was afraid that Xue Yuan would bring it up in a second. Such a terrible request to come.

Xue Yuan also withdrew his hand, stroking Qi Lian's cheek and lips.Baby-skin-smooth to the touch, with an unpolished purity.Qi Lian is extremely strong, yet extremely soft.

Although they are both genetically modified people, the birth methods of Qi Lian and You Yunyan are completely different.

Uranium Yunyan is not a replica, but after the natural embryo is formed, it is optimized through human genome engineering, and it is still born in the form of a baby.

In other words, Uranium Yunyan has experienced a complete infancy, childhood and adolescence.But Qi Lian was deprived of all this, and was born in an adult form.Before you grow up, you are an adult.He is obviously just a child who needs to be protected, but he is about to be pushed out to play a superhero.
