Strike!cowardly [interstellar]

"Well, brother." Lance affirmed again, sitting on the sofa in the middle, with his hands on the armrests, "I plan to take Apollo home in a while, and ask my mother to adopt him as an adopted son. From now on, his surname will be Ludwig."

Ludwig, now symbolizes not only the ancient nobles of the empire, or the younger brother of Marshal Lance, but - the surname of a country.Apollo will directly become the little prince of the entire empire.

Yao Zai'er looked at him ignorantly, listened to him, and was making arrangements for himself.

Lance raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes softened, "Don't worry, I will take care of you like my younger brother in the future."

"You're crazy! Do you really forget about it when Aurora gives you a good look?" Arnold stared at him coldly, and snorted, "Take another one at random, Ludwig's house is really lively."

Gbadden also hesitated and Lance said: "Boss, from Mrs. Ludwig's attitude...I'm afraid she won't welcome Apollo?"

Even Mrs. Fiona, who was still hugging Apollo, shook her head disapprovingly.

Lance looked at the crowd, his eyes sank, and a trace of annoyance flashed across his face, "I didn't think carefully." The concept in his mind was still on Mrs. Ludwig's love for the dog-like Apollo. He tapped on the arm of the sofa, raised his head and discussed, "What if I let my mother see Apollo first? I will respect my mother's opinion. If she disagrees, I will take Apollo to the palace and hang my identity in the palace." One of Ludwig's subordinates."

Yao Zai'er didn't quite understand what they were talking about, and felt slightly uneasy. Madam Fiona felt more pity for him in her heart, and hugged him more comfortingly.

"What exactly is this young man? Are you sure you want to take care of him?" Arnold frowned, observing Lance's facial expression carefully. He had never seen Lance think about who for whom, so personally.

"Yes. A very important person." Without thinking, Lance replied in a deep voice, looking at the old dean with a serious expression, "Teacher, please also face up to Apollo's identity."

Arnold was startled, and for the first time, cast serious eyes on the overly handsome boy.In fact, when I saw Lance leading him in intimately for the first time, an unhealthy guess even flashed in my mind, but from what Lance said later and the respect for the boy, it seems...he treats this child very well. Really take care of them like important family members.

So who is this child?

"Arnold..." His wife's voice brought him back to his thoughts. He turned his head and saw his wife holding the boy's thin shoulders and looking at him expectantly, "Honey, shall we adopt this child? Look at him, so A fragile and lonely person, how can Lance take care of others? Let's take him home and treat him as our own child, shall we?"

"... Fiona?" Arnold was really surprised. Over the years, he and his wife have never had children, and it was decided by both parties.They felt that their lives were good, and that they were each other's only one, but as they got older, gradually, he could feel that his wife would occasionally talk about how cute his grandson was. Although he didn't say anything, the look in his eyes The softness revealed is a different brilliance.Infected by his wife, Arnold didn't say it himself, but he would also unconsciously look at the new junior students at school and saw a few naughty ones, and found that he was not as angry as before.

When people get old, their hearts soften...

It's not that he hasn't considered discussing with his wife to adopt a child for his old age. The two of them are healthy enough to take good care of the child.But in his opinion, this is by no means a simple matter, at least he will not make a decision at the first glance, or such a... identity is not clear.

Although Lance's attitude is so positive, that child... should be trustworthy.

The appearance is really good, and it is very eye-catching.

Arnold sullenly looked at the boy.

But he saw that the boy's eyes had been staring in Lance's direction, wet and wide open.

Hearing the teacher's wife's words, Lance didn't expect it. After thinking about it, he showed a faint smile and stood up, "If the teacher and the teacher's wife are willing, this is the best choice for Apollo."

It was a difficult time for his mother, and he couldn't help paying attention to his mother's feelings.And I live in the palace, and the affairs of the political affairs and the Xuantie military department are piled up together, so it is difficult to spend a lot of time with Apollo in a short period of time.Wherever you put him, you have concerns, and you can't be completely at ease.

But Arnold and Mrs. Fiona are different.The old couple had no problem with their moral cultivation, and they had a very good relationship over the years. They were also the most trustworthy old friends of the Ludwig family.Mrs. Fiona fell in love with Apollo at first sight. Since she offered to take care of him, she would definitely do her best, and Apollo would be well taken care of.And the identity of the Paqi family will also make his life smooth in the future.

No matter how Lance thought about it, he couldn't find anything bad, except...

I'm afraid I won't be able to see him often.

His heart twitched suddenly, as if something important had been gouged out, and it hurt a little.He pressed the position of his heart uncomfortably, endured the strangeness, and looked up at the young man, but he saw that the young man had been looking at him for some time, his eyes were pure and uneasy, shining wetly.

He walked up to Yao Zai'er and gently touched the boy's fluffy and slightly curly head, "Apollo, Dean Arnold and Mrs. Fiona are all wonderful people. They like you very much. Would you like to come to their house?" Is it? I will..."

I visit you often.Before he finished speaking, Dou Da's tears fell from the boy's eyes, and he raised his face to stare at himself, that kind of eyes were both wronged and desperate, like a bayonet, stabbing hard into Lance's heart .

"Apo..." He raised his hand in panic to grab the young man's hand, but was called away, pushed everyone away, and rushed out the door.

"Apollo!" Lance was stunned for a few seconds, then he frowned and chased after him with big strides.

The boy's figure flashed and disappeared from the corner of the corridor.

Yao Zai'er was really sad. He ran to a place where no one was around, changed back to his original shape, and ran fast.Rushing into the bushes in the garden, there is a pool of water there, Yao Zai'er glanced into the water when passing by, and suddenly stopped.

The dog in the water lost the fluffy soft fur that he was so proud of, only a thin layer sticking to the skin, looking thinner and much lighter in color.

Such a dog will be ridiculed if it walks among its kind. It can't even lift its head, so it can only walk aside with its tail between its legs.

Yao Zai'er took a few steps back, not wanting to look at him any more, he found a clump of the most luxuriant grass, rolled himself up into a small nest, and hid in it.

Lance... really don't want it anymore.It rested its head on its paws, its eyes thinking blankly.

Even if it cut off its fur, he still wants to give himself to that old grandpa.He doesn't like himself, no matter what he looks like, he doesn't like himself.

Sixth brother, is he about to become... a cub abandoned by his master?What do you mean by the happiness of being with your master for a lifetime?

Lance chased to the corner of the corridor and found the dropped clothes under the stone pillar.He picked it up, and there was still the faint milk fragrance unique to the child on it, Lance would smell it every time he got close, it was amazing that no matter how irritable his heart was, he could quickly calm down.

Apollo no longer has a collar on his body. Since he can become a human, Lance has not given him that kind of thing.It's just that his identity has not been determined, and he hasn't had time to take him to apply for a personal terminal.

Probably ran to the garden, right?Lance squeezed the white sweater in his hand hard, suppressed the worries in his heart, and walked into the garden.

He didn't dare to disturb the child, so he searched for it by himself, applying the search experience gained from military school and actual combat here, and finally found a few messy paw prints by the river.Following the traces again, he came to a grass cluster, bent down, and gently peeled it from the middle.

The little cub in the middle group seemed to be frightened, the sense of shame and panic that completely exposed itself to others without a package made it get up again quickly, and wanted to run with wide eyes——

"Apollo!" Lance jumped forward, hugged it tightly with his hands, and fell to the ground, hugging the dog to his chest, turning over without pressing it.

"Aww..." Yao Zai'er is still struggling desperately, he is so ugly now, and being hugged in his arms, feels prickly to the touch, he will be even more disgusted...

"Don't go, Apollo." Lance didn't feel his heart sink all the way until he hugged the little guy tightly, and pressed his face on top of its head, "What's the matter? If you need anything, just follow me explain."

Yao Zai'er couldn't move, and tears pooled in his eyes again, and he couldn't get rid of them. It was so pitiful. Lance felt his chest was so painful that it was about to explode, and he just wanted it to stop.It's good to have an angelic smile that is always happy like before.

Lance kept holding the little guy, and heard it choke and twitch from time to time, and it took a long time to calm down.He has been stroking its fur gently like this, waiting for it to get better.

About half an hour later, Yao Zai'er turned back into a human form, with Lance still holding her tightly around her waist, feeling a little uncomfortable.He gently tugged at the man's wrist with his small white hand, but he couldn't move it.

The man's hot breath came from behind his ears, and his voice was low and magnetic, "Aren't you running?"

Yao Zai'er lowered his head and shook his head obediently.

I just felt that the confinement around my waist was loosened a little bit, and finally let him go slowly.He got out quickly, picked up his clothes on the ground, and wanted to run a little bit.But looking back at Lance, he saw that he was sitting on the ground with his legs spread out, his eyes were calm and confident, and he just looked at himself like that, and raised his right eyebrow slightly when he received the sight, as if saying that he couldn't run away.

"..." Yao Zai'er puffed out his cheeks, and obediently squatted opposite him, putting on his clothes little by little.

Raising his head, Lance changed his posture and hooked him.After getting close, he fished out the boy, gathered him into his arms with his broad arms, and sat on his lap.

Sighing, like the tone of a disobedient child, "Can you tell me now, why are you running away?"

"Because... because..." Yao Zai'er belched, his eyes were wet again, and he raised his long and curly eyelashes to face him, "Because you don't want me anymore!"

While the eyelids were trembling, tears fell from the eyelashes, dripped on the back of Lance's hand, and smashed into his heart.Lance suddenly felt that this young man's state was more...distressing than before.

He lowered his voice, "Why would I not want you!"

"But you want to...give me to someone else. Am I not your soul dog?"

"Of course not..." After Lance finished speaking, seeing the expression in the young man's eyes disappear instantly, he knew that he had said something wrong.

But after Apollo became a human, he could no longer treat him as...a soul bond dog.

He should be a person, upright, with his own identity, living in this strange world.Compared with the master, I should act as his guide, lead him into this place, and even try my best to help him whenever he needs it in the future.

"Apollo, listen to me. You are a human being now, not my private soul contract dog." Lance looked into the boy's eyes and said, "I agree with Mrs. Fiona's proposal to adopt you because they I really like you, and the identity of Arnold Pach's grandson is more suitable for you than Ludwig." He later thought that it would indeed be more attractive to hang Ludwig's surname behind this sensitive period Some eyeballs.He worried that in his absence, Apollo would encounter some unforeseen dangers.

And Dean Arnold is well-known, and he is highly respected in the military academy and the army. Wherever he goes, Apollo will become the object of protection.

"I never wanted you. As I promised you before, I will always protect you with my life."

The author has something to say:

I’ve been thinking about Lance’s psychology and personality. As I said before, when he was young, Lance was a proud, self-confident and even oversized person. Because of his strength and excellence, he was used to making choices in the past, while others obeyed the arrangements of.This long-term habit will make him lack in thinking about others and following their opinions.

Of course he will change! !Lance is not perfect, let him have some time to study~ Zai Zai’s grievances are all due to his tuition fees hhh

Zai Zai will not leave Lance, and Lance will be reluctant in the end~
