The melodious music sounded, and it was a classical orchestra playing dance music. In order to fit today's retro theme, Hobert did not use synthetic music, but invited a special orchestra.

Close your eyes, you can hear the harsh sound produced by the friction of the horsetail bow on the metal strings. It is a kind of flaw that synthetic music does not have, but it expresses the beauty of nature appropriately, even for Wu Chenghe who does not understand music. , also feel wonderful.

Couple after couple of partners spin onto the dance floor, Hannibal and Lilyz, Popova and Chen Zhen, and Miss Lancer, who rejected him, also dance hand in hand with Marlowe...Wu Chenghe looked at the audience full of handsome men and beauties, Suddenly, I felt uninterested and didn't know why I wanted to attend such a high society gathering.

Well, he's Hannibal's son, and it's not a good idea to leave him alone in the invitation, or he should just stay away quietly so as not to embarrass Lilliz and Lancer's family, and no one will find out anyway.Wu Chenghe realized that he was redundant, sighed secretly, took a glass of light wine and walked out of the hall through the side door.

It was completely dark outside, and the energy center hung like a dull disc in the artificial clouds.He walked down the steps, walked around the fountain, and walked into a sparse grove, surrounded by neatly trimmed plane trees with green leaves, and the breeze blew, cutting the light into pieces and scattering them on the ground, interlacing light and shadow.

The clothes are fragrant and the temples are beautiful, the cups are intertwined, and the life of the upper class is dazzling, but it does not belong to him. Like his body, it is all borrowed.Wu Chenghe sat on a wooden bench, sipping light wine, and began to think about the future.

The question of whether to stay in the Gabriel military port or go to the capital of Dunkirk has troubled him for some time.Hannibal was right,

The First Army is his sphere of influence, and staying here can be safer and smoother, but everything has two sides, safety often means more constraints.In fact, after the Grasshopper space station incident, he felt that the surveillance around him had been strengthened, and Hannibal had sent special supernatural beings to protect his safety. He didn't know where those people were, but he could feel them.

In fact, ever since he came to Gabriel Naval Port, Wu Chenghe felt that Hannibal was too nervous about him. This kind of tension can be interpreted as "fatherly love", but sometimes it is more like a desire to control everything. This can be seen from his previous attitude towards Jin Xuan, as well as the choice of school just now.

Perhaps this is a common problem of successful men, Wu Chenghe thought, but this kind of control anytime and anywhere did not make him feel safe, but instead gave him a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety. He didn't know where this feeling came from, or it was just a guide. intuition.

But the guide's intuition has always been extremely reliable.

So what about getting out of here and heading to the capital of Dunkirk?What would it be like there?Wu Chenghe rubbed the space between his brows, he still doesn't know much about this world, and he doesn't know much about the capital, he doesn't know whether it will let him be free or put him in danger.

After experiencing a death, he felt that he had become timid, always worrying about gains and losses, and afraid of facing new environments.Wu Chenghe sighed and looked up at the sky, but Gabriel's sky couldn't even see starlight, only artificial clouds and lifeless energy centers.

This is a city where you can't even look up at the starry sky. You can only see the other end of the ring, but you can't see the vast universe. It's like Hannibal's wings, staying below, ignorant and safe.

The Dunkel planet may be full of countless unknown dangers, but it is more likely to provide him with countless unknown futures. It is a completely open environment, and he will have countless opportunities to know the real world after shedding the aura of "commander's adopted son".Moreover, the Aston University Affiliated Medical School is the best medical university in the Federation, with the best teachers, the most sophisticated equipment, and the best students. If he goes to study there, he will become a top-notch doctor.

Wu Chenghe's heart suddenly became enlightened. He seemed a little lost after experiencing so many things, and the ideals he had always insisted on in his past and present lives became blurred.Putting everything aside, curing diseases and saving talents is his goal in life. No matter how the surrounding environment changes, he should move towards this highest ideal.

He should go to Aston University.

Suddenly there was a slight fluctuation in the consciousness cloud, which was the synaesthesia produced by the temporary mark. Wu Chenghe turned his head and saw a familiar tall and straight figure slowly approaching, it was Jin Xuan.

"Why did you come here alone?" Jin Xuan put his hands in his trouser pockets, bent over the back of the bench and asked him, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

His Barbary lion made a low whining sound, and went around to rub Wu Chenghe's calf.Wu Chenghe sought Xiao Aojiao's opinion with synaesthesia, took it off the ear, put it on the lion's nose, and stroked its mane.The Barbary Lion happily flicked his tail a few times to express his gratitude, and ran away carrying his little friend.

"Didn't you dance?" Wu Chenghe asked Jin Xuan after sending away the cute pet, "You are half the master today, will Mr. Hobert be unhappy if you leave like this?"

"He won't feel unhappy no matter what I do, he's used to it." Jin Xuan sat next to him, leaned up to his cheek and sniffed, "Have you been drinking?"

"Well, I took a glass casually."

"Drinking to relieve your worries? Because you were rejected by the lady?"

"Ha... Let it be." Wu Chenghe laughed at himself, not wanting to explain further.

"Don't be stupid." Jin Xuan took the wine glass, drank the remaining wine, took his hand and pulled him, "Come on, I invite you to dance, the first dance is not over yet."

"Go away."

"Come on." Jin Xuan stood in front of him, bowed to him in a gentlemanly manner, and made a "please" gesture, "Do you want me to kneel down and beg you?"

"You can try it."

"Dance with me." Jin Xuan looked into his eyes, "I'm going back to the capital of Dunkel with Hobert in a few days, so why don't you do it for me in advance?"

After being entangled by him for several months, he was about to be freed suddenly. On the contrary, he felt a heavy sense of loss. Wu Chenghe looked at him, and smelled the rich fragrance of Damascus roses in the flower garden. Sexual control, a trance in his heart, he stood up involuntarily, and handed his right hand into his hand.

The heat of the day has faded away, the breeze brings coolness, and the fountain emits a fine sound of water, adding a distant and ethereal charm to the music from afar.Jin Xuan held onto his hand with one hand and wrapped his arms around his waist, leading him to dance in the woods.Jin Xuan's dance steps are smooth, and the lines from shoulder to neck are as perfect as a dancer. Wu Chenghe followed him to spin and slide. The appalling beggar gang uniform on his body created an illusion of "this guy is so handsome".

"What were you thinking just now?" Jin Xuan asked suddenly, "I can feel your consciousness fluctuating, anxious, entangled, fearful... thinking about the college entrance examination? How to escape from your father's clutches?"

The synaesthesia made it impossible to hide the subtle emotions of both parties. Wu Chenghe sighed and said, "Yes, I just talked about the school with my father."

"He objected to your going to Aston Medical School?"

"Yes, he wants me to stay

The First Army, here is his sphere of influence, the capital may be in danger. "

Jin Xuan sneered, and said, "The two fatal attacks you have encountered so far are all within his sphere of influence. And the crime rate in the capital has been the lowest in the Federation for eight consecutive years. Where do you think is safer?"

"My identity is more sensitive." Wu Chenghe said, "He said that he is not very popular in the Federation, and I may be implicated."

Jin Xuan pondered for a while, and said, "Wu Chenghe, are you afraid of danger?"

"Yes, no one wants to experience something like a grasshopper space station a second time." Wu Chenghe replied, and at the same time remembered the horrible explosion that killed him in his previous life, and the feeling was not good.

"I'm also afraid." Jin Xuan said, "You know, I was kidnapped many times when I was a child. At that time, my brother was not the president. He served in the Yuanhang Army and was transferred back to NTU. He is very powerful. He can fight and play tricks, and his political enemies, as well as the suspects and terrorists under investigation by him, are afraid of him and dare not confront him head-on, so they all like to attack me."

Wu Chenghe once entered his mind and saw some memories. There were indeed many such fragments, which was strange at the time.

"I remember when he was running for Congress, the opposition hired mercenaries to kidnap me. I was only eight years old at the time, and I was sleeping in the bedroom. When I heard someone coming, I climbed out of the window." Jin Xuan squinted his eyes. Tell him a story, "I live on the third floor of 170. Do you know what it feels like to stand 600 meters high? I was almost blown away by the wind. I was terrified, but I knew that I could not rely on To survive under the protection of Jin Zhe, that pervert wants to chase his dream, and will not stop just because he wants to take care of me. If I want to live, I can only run behind him and protect myself.”

Wu Chenghe's heart trembled, thinking how pitiful it is for him to face such a harsh environment at such a young age.But then I thought about it, an eight-year-old child can be so tough, and it really doesn't take a day to develop a miracle.

"I climbed seven meters horizontally at a height of 600 meters, jumped onto the terrace of the neighbor's house, and then climbed to the top floor along the garden ladder of his house, and rang the public alarm bell." Jin Xuan continued, "Before the police arrived , I was afraid that they would find that I called the police, and ran down at least [-] floors along the safe passage, and hid in the ventilation shaft. Later, the police arrived, and there was a fight with the mercenaries. In the end, the mercenaries were completely wiped out, and I was unscathed Lossless."

"I was actually very scared. When Jin Zhe came to pick me up, he couldn't even stand up and couldn't speak. He carried me to the hospital and slept with me for several days, not letting me stay alone. It took a long time to recover. But after that time, I realized that I had grown up, and I was no longer afraid of not being able to find my brother, and I protected myself.”

Jin Xuan paused, and looked into Wu Chenghe's eyes with bright eyes: "Stay by Hannibal's side, you are his weakness, and you will encounter more dangers in the future. If you want to live freely, you must learn Protect yourself."

Wu Chenghe looked at him, and couldn't help being moved when he saw his open eyes.Jin Xuan was right, Hannibal could protect him for a while, but not for a lifetime, the more he sought Hannibal's protection, the more he would become his weakness, and the tragedies of the past would surely repeat themselves.

Only by leaving here, becoming an independent person, and constantly becoming stronger, can he live out and protect himself.

"Hiss—" Jin Xuan suddenly took a breath, "You stepped on me."

"Oh!" Wu Chenghe realized that he was distracted, stepped on his foot, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not good at dancing."

"We'll change the next one." After the song ended, Jin Xuan stopped dancing, took a step back and gave him a gentleman's salute.Wu Chenghe couldn't help but give him a lady gift.The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Have you decided?" Jin Xuan asked after sitting on the bench for a while, he could feel that Wu Chenghe's consciousness cloud was calming down, which meant that his little guide had made a decision.

"It may take some work to get my father's approval." Wu Chenghe sighed, "He doesn't approve of me going to Aston University."

"Perhaps you can find another way."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Know that bill?"

"You mean the Ideological Education Act for Descendants of the Yuanhang Army?" This matter has been raging recently, and Wu Chenghe naturally understands, "But I am only his adopted son, and I do not belong to the scope of the bill. Lo is gone."

"I heard that General Lancer has objections to this." Jin Xuan said in a low voice, "The commander's wife is still hesitating. If you propose to replace Marlowe voluntarily, she will definitely be tempted."

"You mean Lilize?" Wu Chenghe turned around in his mind and understood what he meant, "Some people say that the federal government enacted this bill to take a group of hostages to the capital and raise them in captivity. According to what you say, Liliz may Fearing for Marlowe's safety."

"Because of the Liberty Revolutionary Army, Lancer will be severely punished, and his relationship with the Federation is becoming increasingly tense. Lilyz is her daughter, so of course she will be influenced by him." Jin Xuan said, "Just now in the lobby you I also saw that their family has a lot of opinions on you, if the commander-in-chief hadn’t insisted, you would have been sent to the Federation’s No.1 election.”

"But the commander-in-chief has the final say in this family, and Liliz has to listen to him." Wu Chenghe has seen clearly in the past six months that although Liliz is strong, she has a deep affection for Hannibal, and she will never disobey her husband's opinion.

"That's because she didn't touch her bottom line." Jin Xuan's eyes were deep and his voice was low, "Son is the bottom line of all mothers."

Wu Chenghe remained silent. It would be the best if he could get this quota in a legitimate way. The law stipulates that the Federation will bear all the tuition fees and provide subsidies during the study period, so that he doesn't have to worry about money.Moreover, the score line of the entrance examination will also be lowered, which is very beneficial to him.

"I will find an opportunity to find out about Lilyz." Wu Chenghe said, "Maybe she will help me convince my father."

"I can help you. If you make up your mind, I can guarantee that the commander-in-chief will send you away willingly."

"Really?" Wu Chenghe looked at him incredulously, probably no one in this world could be Hannibal's master.

"Trust me." The corners of Jin Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, and Danfeng's eyes contained a sly smile, and he said in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Your decision is an order to me, and I will execute it mercilessly and crush you." overwhelm all resistance."

Wu Chenghe's black line: "We don't know each other well, so don't be so scary all the time, okay? I'm not the president, so I can't afford your loyalty."

"To me, you are much more important than the president." Jin Xuan cast aside his brother without integrity, and after receiving Wu Chenghe's blank stare, he said sincerely, "Okay, I admit that I have selfish intentions. I hope you can come to Aston University, so I don’t have to persuade Jin Zhe to let me work in Gabriel Naval Port, he is a pervert, and it is much more difficult to deal with him than the commander in chief.”

"You want to come to Gabriel to work?" Wu Chenghe was terrified.

"Otherwise, how can I chase you? Do I have to give up halfway? Don't you know that long-distance relationships have no good results?" Jin Xuan took it for granted, "It must be where you go to school, and I will teach there. Anyway, I have enough education Ba, the principal of any school I go to has to kneel to pick me up."

Regardless of whether the principal kneels or not, Wu Chenghe kneels to his brain circuit first, the world of the top student is too cool, mortals are doomed to be blinded!

"In any case, you have made a decision, and I will do my best to help you." Jin Xuan put away his joking look, and said solemnly, "Don't rush to find the commander's wife, review your homework carefully, and I will notify you in advance when and what to do. I will get this matter out of the way before I return to the capital of Dunkirk."

After such a long time, Wu Chenghe has a better understanding of his ability to handle affairs, nodded and said: "Okay, I will wait for your call."

Jin Xuan grinned, just as the band played the music again, and said, "It's time for you to ask me to dance, didn't you say that women's steps are not used to it? This time you change to men's steps, quick, kneel down and beg me to follow you!" You dance!"

Wu Chenghe had no choice but to stand up and salute him, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand making a "please" gesture: "May I?"

The melodious and lingering blues music echoed in the woods, the night was peaceful, and the air was filled with the aroma of roses.Jin Xuan stood up, pulled his hands around his neck, put his hands around his waist, and said, "Well, this piece is suitable for dancing face to face."

Wu Chenghe's whole body was hooped on his chest by him, and he struggled twice. He felt that it was too ugly, so he gave up and obediently followed his rhythm.In this dance, the two are very close, almost body to body.Through the thin gown, Wu Chenghe could feel the faint heat emanating from his body. When he looked up slightly, he saw his well-defined face, with sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and the corners of his eyes were raised sternly, but his gaze was as gentle as water.

Fine points, sometimes a fatal beauty, Wu Chenghe has never found himself so lustful.

I don't know if the light wine played a role, or because of the confusion caused by the mark, when Jin Xuan lowered his head and kissed him, he didn't refuse at all, raised his chin to respond to him, touched his lips lightly, and stuck out his tongue to entangle with him .

"don'tforgetwho'stakingyouhome, Andinwhosearms, you'regonnabe...Savethelastdanceforme..." The melodious male voice sang the love words, the two in the woods were immersed in the beautiful blues, the dance steps under their feet were already chaotic, and the fiery heart was gone Breed quietly.

Jin Xuan has a taste of it, after all, this is a public place, he can't bring trouble to Wu Chenghe.Parting his lips, he looked obsessively at Wu Chenghe's face, looked at his eyes, held him tightly in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Come, enter my brain."

Wu Chenghe was a little confused, he hadn't recovered from the kiss just now, he couldn't explain his behavior of kissing back just now, he didn't know if he was crazy and stupid, if he was teased by Mark's surrender, or if he really started to like this beggar in clothes Help subdue the fine points to kill Matt.

"Come on, use your thinking tentacles to invade my consciousness cloud." Jin Xuan lowered his head and licked his lips, making the swollen lips show a crystal clear water color, coaxing him into his own thinking.Bewitched by his order, Wu Chenghe stretched out his thought tentacles in a daze, invaded his consciousness cloud, and peeped into his thoughts under his guidance.

"Only in this way can you know how much I love you." Because of his unskilled penetration, Jin Xuan felt a dull pain in his brain, raised his head, and his voice trembled slightly, "This feeling cannot be expressed in words, only in this way can you see Make it clear. The statute of limitations is about to pass, next time, next time, I hope you will fall in love with me, and let me mark you willingly, for life."

Wu Chenghe closed his eyes, his thinking tentacles slid across his sea-deep consciousness cloud, feeling the warm love entangled with life, he couldn't help shaking his whole body.

I'll try it... he thought silently.Through mental synesthesia, Jin Xuan read his thoughts, and immediately kissed him again, his arms almost embedded him in his body: I ​​am willing to wait for you, and wait until the day you fall in love with me.

It was already midnight when the reception ended, and Wu Chenghe was immersed in the tangle of excitement and fear throughout the night. He and Jin Xuan returned to the banquet hall one after another, and then hid in the corner under the long window by himself, unwittingly drank several glasses of light wine .

By the time Hannibal escorted him back to his apartment, he was a little drunk and stumbled on the stairs and couldn't get up.

"Who told you to drink so much? You're only 17 years old, it's almost..." Hannibal frowned and carried him to the bedroom. He scolded him and untied his tie. He fell asleep, snoring lightly.

"We have to keep him away from alcohol in the future." Hannibal shook his head helplessly.The black chestnut eagle whistled and flew to the head of the bed, looking at Wu Chenghe's neck with golden ring eyes.

"Well, you found it." Hannibal pulled the collar of his son's shirt a little, and found that the cinnabar mole in the center of the collarbone was gone, his brows relaxed immediately, and his tone became lighter, "The time limit has passed, it seems that he is a self-made man. The little guy with strong strength actually resisted the surrender."

"Kou Jie——" the black chestnut eagle let out a sharp cry, with a hint of encouragement.

Hannibal caressed his son's white neck with a big hand, and gently stroked his thumb on his Adam's apple. After a long time, he licked his lips and shook his head, "No, it's not the time yet. He's too young to take it."

The black chestnut eagle raised its feathers angrily, flapped its wings and flew out.
