Pinnacle Armor

From the other side of the corridor, the crew members of the Sunset were faintly laughing.

Xin Xunyang stared at Lu Xingxi's door, feeling absurd that he was in a different space.

The superficial kiss just now was not so much Lu Xingxi's response to his confession, but more like the other party's doing some kind of experiment - some of the more enthusiastic races, the kiss between friends expressing intimacy is even hotter than this. !

But the saddest thing is that even such a light kiss with almost no emotional components still moved him...

When Laura came over, she saw Xin Xunyang standing in a daze at the door of Lu Xingxi's room with an unpredictable expression.

She walked over, and as usual, raised her hand and wanted to hit the opponent on the head, but she waved her hand in the air, but was caught by Xin Xunyang.Laura frowned, and at the same time she withdrew her hand and kicked sideways. After being blocked by the latter, the two of them quietly started to fight in the corridor.

After a dozen moves between you and me, Laura jumped back to widen the distance, and raised her hand to signal Xin Xunyang to stop here.

"Not bad! You didn't try your best just now, right?" Laura asked.

Xin Xunyang smiled without humility: "If I try my best, Auntie, your speed will not be able to keep up."

"Bastard boy! You'll be fooled by a few compliments? How dare you imply that I'm old... Come here, I'm going to explain to you the truth of respecting the old and loving the young!"

During the two people's discussion, there was already a long distance from the original position, and after the action, Xin Xunyang's depression also disappeared a lot, so he naturally did not object to Laura's request.Follow her all the way to the captain's room in the deepest part of the living area.

Not only is the captain's cabin much more spacious than ordinary crew's cabins, but the interior layout is also more comfortable and luxurious.

Xin Xunyang still remembered that his only aunt had always been a person who valued enjoyment.

While untangling her long hair, Laura said, "Find a place to sit by yourself."

The reason for using the word "find" is that her room is a little too messy.

Xin Xunyang embraced a pile of littered clothes, and finally revealed the expensive sofa covered with Derby fur.He sat down on the sofa, and when he looked up, he saw the photo embedded in the glass frame on the wall.

In the photo, two beautiful women with similar looks, blond hair and blue eyes, are looking down at a black-haired baby who is sleeping soundly in the cradle and smiling happily—it is a group photo of Xin Xunyang, who was just born, with his mother and aunt .

"I didn't approve of sending you away." Handing Xin Xunyang a glass of fine Clem, Laura also looked at the photo that recorded the past happy times, and said slowly, "You could have been raised by me Grow up, and then inherit this sunset ship. But Tina wants you to have a brighter future... What's wrong with being a pirate?!"

Listening to Laura's subconscious complaint, Xin Xunyang couldn't help laughing.

As far as he can remember, the issue of "is it good or bad to be a space pirate" has been one of the biggest disagreements between his mother Tina and his aunt Laura, and as far as he knows, until Tina died, in the The two sisters did not reach any consensus on this point.

Laura is still counting the benefits of being a space pirate, "...you are free, you don't need to be bound by anyone, although it's a bit dangerous, but if you do two or three big deals a year, you can play around comfortably. Join the army? Yes With someone like Xin Guoli around, what good is joining the army?!"

In this regard, Xin Xunyang could only keep silent.

To be honest, he himself felt that going to Xin Guoli was a terrible idea, but it was Tina's last wish.

To Xin Guoli, he was never a filial son, but to his mother who raised him alone, he never said a word of rejection.

So when Tina, who was seriously ill, asked him to go with Xin Guoli who came to ask for custody, even though he was reluctant, he still left.

I know you think it's more fun with your sister, but if you want to be a first-class knight, you must have a decent background.Throughout the history of the alliance, which respected master have you seen, who is a space pirate by profession?Even mercenaries are rarely the object of praise... Follow your father, whether you like him or not, he can give you a good foundation.As for whether you are willing to listen to him after your wings harden, I don't care, anyway, I don't have much time left...

Xin Xunyang's mind came back to what Tina said when he drove him away.

It's also interesting to say that Tina and Laura, who are both the former captain of the Sunset and the daughter of "Golden Shark" Claire Ferry, have completely opposite attitudes towards their "family business".Laura regards sailing and plundering the sunset in the universe as a fun entertainment, while Tina only regards this as a means of earning a living.

"Are you listening to me?" After chanting for a long time, I realized that the person being chanted was distracted in a fair manner, and Laura was upset.

"Yes." Xin Xunyang replied calmly.

Except for things related to Lu Xingxi, few people can make him mess up now.

Laura could tell at a glance that this kid was trying to fool her, so she couldn't help sighing, stroked her forehead and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. What's the matter with you making such a big fuss this time? Even if you want to get rid of Xin Guoli You bastard, you don’t need to resort to such drastic means, right? Just forcefully break through from the universe port... It is said that the Chenxing government has issued a warrant for your arrest, after all, their security team has not been so embarrassing in almost 30 years."

This is one of the results that Xin Xunyang expected.

Even if Xin Guoli's power is as high as the sky, the other party can't completely cover up the incident if he makes such a big fuss - the dense surveillance cameras in the universe port are not for show.

The old man should be blown up by now, right?

Xin Xunyang thought gloatingly.

Seeing his completely unreflective appearance, Laura not only didn't feel angry, but after a brief silence, she smiled with satisfaction, "Anyway, I should praise you. As expected of my nephew, ordinary people can At the age of 17, you can't drive a mech alone and break through the siege of the spaceport guard."

"I have helpers." When he heard "single-handedly", Xin Xunyang finally had an opinion.

Laura glanced at him, "I know, you brought a technician with you, but isn't the technician a hindrance during the battle? What did he do?" According to Lu Xingxi's age, even a student of Qianji Academy At most, you can imitate other people's finished products and assemble mechas, right?

Not liking his partner to be underestimated, Xin Xunyang said solemnly: "He made the mech I was driving, and he has been assisting me in the battle."

Laura stared at Xin Xunyang wordlessly, and after a while, she suddenly laughed exaggeratedly.

After laughing enough, she patted Xin Xunyang's shoulder unbearably and said, "Even if you don't want me to underestimate your partner, you don't need to tell such an exaggerated lie! How old is he? Self-made mecha or something... Even if Even if Master Gu is reborn, it is impossible for him to have such abilities at this age."

If Master Gu is reborn, he will have such abilities.

Xin Xunyang retorted quietly in his heart.

Even if Laura was the most trustworthy of his living relatives in this world, he didn't intend to share Lu Xingxi's secret with her.

Seeing that Xin Xunyang stopped talking, worrying that the nephew was really angry, Laura finally restrained herself a little.

"Okay, just say yes." After coaxing a child, Laura changed the subject, "What are you going to do in the future, how about taking this opportunity to join us? I think this is the guidance of the goddess of fate. .”

Xin Xunyang shook his head upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Laura frowned, "Don't be so stubborn. In your current situation, it's not safe to go anywhere except the Sunset. If you stay, that Lu Xingxi can also stay. It just so happens that we lack maintenance personnel..."

"He's a mecha technician, not a maintenance engineer." Xin Xunyang corrected, "Let me discuss with him before deciding whether to stay or not!" He didn't want to listen to Laura's repeated words of belittling Lu Xingxi.

Knowing that Xin Xunyang was more stubborn than his mother Tina, Laura shrugged and stopped forcing him to make a decision immediately.

However... Xin Xunyang's emphasis on Lu Xingxi still attracted her attention.

******

The next day, after Xin Xunyang got up, he couldn't find Lu Xingxi. After inquiring with the crew, he found out that Lu Xingxi had gone to the parking area early.

When he looked for it, Lu Xingxi was sitting on the elevator, staring at the blue bird intently.

That look... After Xin Xunyang saw it, he absurdly felt a trace of jealousy.

Passing the fast food box in his hand, Xin Xunyang said awkwardly: "Even if you want to check whether yesterday's battle has caused any damage to it, at least you should fill your stomach first!"

"Thank you." Lu Xingxi took the food naturally, "Don't worry, the blue bird is in very good condition. I have already asked the maintenance engineer of the Sunset about the damaged part of the outer armor. You can find suitable parts in the spare parts on the ship. replacement."

It's good news to know that his mecha is normal, but... this is not what he cares about right now.

Xin Xunyang looked at Lu Xingxi's calm expression in silence, and became more and more suspicious that yesterday's kiss was just a bad joke, otherwise how could the guy who "forcibly kissed" him be so calm now, as if nothing happened?

Stared at by his complicated eyes, Lu Xingxi finally realized that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

"No, I was just wondering if what you said last yesterday was serious." Xin Xunyang said straightforwardly.

"..." His words reminded Lu Xingxi of his impulsive behavior last night.

Lu Xingxi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior when he "experimented". It wasn't until he closed the door, recalling Xin Xunyang's astonished eyes, that he felt the temperature on his face rise belatedly.

He deliberately ran to the parking area early in the morning to see Jade Bird, not only because he was worried, but also because only in such an environment could he regain his usual calmness.

Feelings are really not a good thing.

Why did I do that at that time?

Before Xin Xunyang came, Lu Xingxi couldn't help being distracted while checking the blue bird, until the voice of the other party rang in his ears.
