Abandoned Lover [Future]

——I was about five or six years old when I was picked up, right?

——At that time, there was a lot of snow in the barn star, and the whole master's house was buried in the snow, like a big frosted bread.

——So I ran to his door to wait for the sunrise.At that time, I thought, when I was burned, it should be like sesame seeds on the bread, right?I never thought about whether it would cause trouble for Ruth and the others, hahahaha.

— But I am very happy now, Mr. Eugene.Thanks to Master and Ruth.

Eugene looked down at the boy lying at his feet.The boy was slender and thin, and his figure was at most in his early teens. The color of his curly hair was difficult to discern, covering half of his face in a mess.The oversized clothes were empty on the child, making him look dirty and old.Looking from the holes in the shoulders, elbows and knees of the clothes, it is the skin covered in dust and blood scabs of different shades.

Eugene frowned, feeling himself in a rather contradictory situation.In front of him was the horizon gradually revealing daylight, and the boy shivered in the morning chill, murmuring indistinctly.

With a jingle, someone pushed open the door of the shop from behind.Eugene turned his head and smiled at the cyborg behind him: "Xiao."

Xiao looked at him, then looked down at the uninvited visitor who was huddled in front of their door.Well, that's the decision, Eugene.Thinking of this, Eugene took a deep breath silently, and was about to take out the terminal from his pocket and make a call to the sheriff in the town.

However, to his surprise, the cyborg squatted down without a word, then easily picked up the child horizontally, turned around and walked slowly into the store.Eugene let out an "Hey" expression, obviously stunned, and when he realized it, he could only look up at Xiao's face.

Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked back at him, his expression was very calm, without the resistance and hostility he expected.

Those gray-blue eyes looked up at him, as if gently confirming - this is what you want to do, isn't it?

Unspeakable warmth slowly spread from his chest, and while Eugene smiled, he lightly punched Xiao on the back: "...how handsome are you?"

……

The boy was carried into the flower shop by Xiao, and then slowly woke up because of this movement.It was at this time that Eugene realized that he hadn't figured out how to face this visitor who fell from the sky.He brought a blanket from upstairs and covered the boy, and put a piece of bread into the boy's hand.After deliberating for a long time, he asked him, why did you appear here?

The boy's eyes were very timid, he hesitated for a while before speaking, and finally answered.He was originally a waif in Flintstone City, but now he is making a living in the black market of casinos outside the city.He got into trouble yesterday and was being chased all the time. He didn't dare to go to Flintstone City, so he followed the opposite direction and walked step by step to Cooper Town.

Before Eugene knew what to say, Xiao had calmly said, "Did you get chased for stealing?"

There was no malice in his inquiry, it was just out of pure reasoning.The boy was neither old nor strong enough for any real work, and stealing was the most common means of survival for an orphan.

"resemble……"

Eugene wanted to stop Xiao from talking, but the boy lowered his head first: "Yes, sir. I was very hungry, so I stole a security guard's wallet."

There was a wordless silence.Eugene looked at the boy: "If you're hungry, tell me, and I'll bring you something to eat."

After the hot soup and sandwiches, the boy finally lifted his eyes from his tangled bangs, carefully surveying his surroundings.Eugene stood with arms folded during this process, and finally spoke at this moment: "I have a question for you."

The boy's eyes lit up with some anticipation he was trying to hide: "Okay, sir."

"...do you have somewhere to go?"

The boy opened his mouth, but just as he was about to speak, he met Eugene's eyes.Those golden eyes were gentle and polite, but with some guards that the master himself was not aware of.

Then the boy's eyes dimmed,

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Eugene gave the blanket to the boy.The boy walked out of the store by himself, limping and not walking fast.

It was only when the boy arrived at the door that Eugene couldn't help but said again: "If you don't have anything to eat in the future, don't steal any more, come here."

The boy turned his head, nodded, and then smiled.

…Eugene tossed and turned after nightfall that night.Xiao looked at him, and finally said, "If you were so worried, why did you let him go?"

Eugene closed his eyes and let out a slow breath.

"But if you don't let him go, what name should I let him stay in?" His voice seemed to be sighing: "Besides, if the child who crawled from the bottom is used to lying and stealing, I can't help change it." of."

Shaw didn't answer.The logic of Eugene's decisions and explanations is consistent with his, he just doesn't like the way his lover frowns.

The boy didn't show up for two days after he left.Fortunately, the days that caused Eugene’s conscience torment came to an end on the third day—the boy closed the door in the evening of this day, waited until the customers in the store had left, and stood in front of the door asking Eugene for a piece of bread .

The boy was thinner than before, but not in bad spirits.Eugene made a simple meal and passed it to him, but in the end the boy begged him, sir, to give me another piece of bread.

It was impossible for Eugene to refuse him.

... This kind of interaction continued back and forth for five or six weeks, and then Cooper Town ushered in a rainy night with a bang.Eugene, who was awakened by the thunder, seemed a little uneasy, and was about to try to fall asleep again, but a surveillance alarm came from the flower shop downstairs, as if someone had broken into the flower field.

Xiao put on his clothes and got up, went downstairs to watch the monitor of Huatian.Eugene followed behind him, and when he saw the content on the alarm screen, he was stunned.

A small figure wrapped itself under the blanket that Eugene gave out, and was trying to hide itself in a low canopy.

Eugene stood where he was for a few seconds, then grabbed his umbrella and rushed out into the night.

Raindrops beat against the canopy, at his feet, and the boy looked up at him in fear.

"...I have not stolen any more, sir, nor have I spoiled your roses."

The flowers in the canopy fell asleep peacefully as he said, and under the lifted blanket, there was a very small piece of bread that was pinched into a flat piece.

Eugene finally asked him: “What’s your name?”

The boy looked up at him.

"Connie, sir, my name is Connie."

……

From that day on, there was another figure in Eugene's workshop.The boy Connie didn't talk much and didn't move around. He always stayed quietly and watched Eugene work.Across from the workshop, Lili in the flower shop commented worriedly: "Seriously, Mr. Xiao, you just let him in like this? What is his identity? Where did he come from? Aren't you going to send him to the police? "

Xiao looked up at the opposite side, and there was no fluctuation in his expression: "Eugene asked all the questions that should be asked."

His attitude never changed.He didn't like having anyone around Eugene, let alone an intruder who fell from the sky.Yet when he should have been disgusted, he was much calmer than he'd expected.

On the one hand, it's because Eugene respects the boundaries he sets to the max.From the very beginning, Eugene kept a clear distance from Connie, and would not let this man have the illusion that he was adopted.Now Connie's residence is in an independent workshop next to the workshop, and he does not live, eat and live with them, so he and Eugene's life and territory have not been violated.

On the other hand, he actually thought this kid named Connie was funny.As early as the day Eugene picked him up, Xiao called up all the surveillance cameras near his residence since the day Connie appeared, and watched them frame by frame.On the night when he appeared in front of their door, Connie's expression was flustered and terrified, it seemed that being chased was real.However, after that, Connie walked slowly from house to house, and it was true that he went to sleep in front of their door.And after meeting Eugene for the first time, Connie would never go far when he was not looking for someone. Most of the time he just walked around the monitor in Huatian and hid in a corner, careful not to be seen.Because of this, it was impossible for Connie not to know that he would be found when he got into the awning on that pouring rainy night.

This boy is like a little spider clumsily weaving a web, embarrassed but patiently setting up a small trap.But to be honest, Xiao didn't hate this practice.

Then one day at the dinner table, Eugene couldn’t help mentioning Connie—he said that the child’s observation skills and memory were amazing, and he would find the right tools and hand them over to him when he was working.I casually asked about the process I was doing these days. Although Connie didn't know the name of the process and tools, he was able to imitate the operation.

"So I was thinking, should I accept him as an apprentice or something." Eugene lowered his head and cut the beef on the plate, and then felt that his speech might be a bit inappropriate: "Sorry, I always talk to myself... ..."

However, Xiao smiled softly and affirmed him very sincerely: "No, I think that would be a good idea."

……

Squeak.The door of Connie's workshop was pushed open.

The newly promoted apprentice raised his head with a smile, but the expression on his face was mixed with a trace of fear when he saw the person coming.

"Good morning, Mr. Shaw. What can you do for me?" Connie tried to make his voice sound happy, innocent, and unconcerned.

The tall, handsome, and unreal man walked towards him step by step, with an impeccable smile on his face, which made him a little timid.

"... You have successfully moved in, congratulations."

Connie's expression froze.His eyes blinked, and then he said humbly but sincerely: "I didn't lie about other places, sir. I didn't have any malice. I am grateful for your generosity from the bottom of my heart."

Xiao looked at him motionless.

The fear of being suppressed made Connie's hands tremble a little.The man in front of him was exuding coercion wantonly, which was completely different from the docile appearance he saw in daily life, although he was not surprised.

Connie licked his lower lip and summoned up his courage to ask, "Are you here to drive me away, sir?"

"Eugene wants you to stay, so you can stay." The gray-blue eyes examined him quietly. "But I'm not the same kind of person as he is."

"I know my duty, sir." Connie swallowed, and after a moment of silence, he made a dangerous but perhaps rewarding answer: "I won't take much of his time and attention, I ensure."

Xiao almost wanted to sigh.This is really a very smart kid, so keen that he almost puts on guard.

He bent down and smiled at Connie. "I don't like people approaching him, but you can approach me, Connie. If we get along well, he will be very happy. So, let's be good friends, shall we?"

A pale, slender hand was extended to Connie, and Connie couldn't refuse him.

The tall man straightened up, and glanced at his right calf seemingly inadvertently: "Also, it's best to reconnect your leg once it's broken. You're actually going to be thirteen or fourteen years old, right? If you drag it on, it will It will never get better."

……

In the operating room a few months later, Eugene and Xiao accompanied Connie to undergo a rather tragic operation; the doctor wanted to re-saw off Connie's right leg bone, and then put a metal fixation on it to allow it to re-saw. Grow well.The half-body anesthesia made Connie feel no pain, and the raised curtain also blocked the bloody scene.However, the sound of flesh being cut made the boy tremble non-stop. Eugene, who was wearing a sterile gown, tried to pat Connie's shoulder, but the boy's hands tightly grasped Xiao's on the other side without hesitation. arm.

Eugene's expression was originally a little dazed, but seeing Xiao comfortingly patted the back of Connie's hand, his eyes looking at the two of them only softened silently.

"Connie seems to like you better." It was dinner time when he came back from the hospital, and Eugene slowly stirred the food in the soup pot. "Is it because I'm usually too strict with him?"

—Because he dared not touch you at all.Xiao thought so, hugging his lover from behind: "Are you jealous?"

"How is it possible?" Eugene didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xiao lowered his head and rubbed against the back of his neck. "If we were chosen between the two of us, 99 out of [-] people would like you more. Occasionally, having Connie on my side would be a consolation."

Eugene put the spoon on the side of the pot, turned around and kissed him on the lips: "...it's not just Connie."

"Ok?"

"I prefer you too."

It's this kind of cute love story that makes people want to sigh.Xiao turned off the fire behind Eugene's back with his right hand, and slowly reached under Eugene's clothes with his left hand.Knowing how much pleasure these hands would bring him, Eugene's Adam's apple rolled silently, put his hands around his lover's neck, and said in a low voice: "...the soup is still hot, don't stay here."

……

In the first winter when Connie came to Ssuna, Eugene asked him to try to look after the store, and as a result, he worked remotely for two full months.So the next winter, Eugene, who refused to work while on vacation, simply took Connie out.In the third winter, Eugene was about to return to the world of two, but Lily said that it was not fair to wait for the boss. Last year Connie came, and this year I will go too.

So in the third year, besides Connie, there was also Lily who came out to ski with Eugene and Xiao.

Lily had never been a long star before, and this was the first time she saw real snow.While she was yelling and rolling around in her ski suit, her two bosses gave her a goodbye with a smile and went straight to the ski lift to the top.

Lily watched the two go further and further away with a dull expression, and finally turned her gaze back to Connie who was kneeling in front of him and was teaching her how to ride a snowboard.

"Wait a minute, why do I have to stay here with you when the two of them can go to the top of the highest mountain?"

Connie pushed up his ski glasses helplessly: "The speed of those two people is not human. If you walk with them, you will have to roll down from the top of the mountain. Let me teach you."

Lily turned her head to the side: "Are you mocking me?

"No, I went up with them once, and then I rolled down by myself." Connie explained with a good temper: "I'll take you to Bunny Slope later, you remember to watch my movements."

The 15-year-old kept his head down, and a beautiful snowflake fell on his long eyelashes.Lily blinked, and suddenly said, "Short, have you grown taller?"

"I'm still in puberty." Connie raised his hand, compared it to the top of his head, and then smiled: "I'm taller than you now, Lily."

After he finished speaking, he stepped on his skis and walked a few steps forward, only to realize that Lily hadn't followed.

"Sorry, I didn't teach you how to walk on level ground..." The apology on Connie's face looked endearing, and Lily followed him belatedly.

——It’s over, this kid seems to have become a little handsome.

……

At the end of the day's activities, a group of people returned to the vacation cabin that Eugene had rented.It was beneficial to go out with a tow bottle at this time. The two children volunteered to prepare dinner, which freed Eugene and Xiao to stand in the yard and watch the remaining sunset glow.

Strips of long and narrow pink and purple slowly bloomed under the setting sun, and were swallowed up by the dark blue of the sky.Eugene looked up at the sky and suddenly thought that this was already the sixth winter he and Xiao had spent together.

"I said..." He turned his head, wanting to say something to the people around him, but found that there was no one on his left.Just as he was about to look back, a snowball flying towards him accurately hit him in the face.

The tall cyborg stood five or six meters behind him, smiling and bending over to wrap another snowball.

Eugene shook his head slowly, and raised his hand to pat the snow on his hair.

He smiled at Shaw.

"I tell you, you'll regret it."

As the words fell, he rushed towards Xiao, picked up a handful of snow from the ground, swung it up and poured it all into Xiao's collar.

... The air is cold, the nose is red, and the face is a little sore from the wind.Eugene put his arms around Xiao's neck from behind and wanted to jump onto the opponent's back. Xiao simply carried him on his back, as if he wanted to throw him out, and quickly turned in circles on the snow.

Eugene raised his head and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The sky was getting dark, and the warm yellow light leaked through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cabin, illuminating the yard.The shadows of the two people in the snow were elongated, and their appearance at this time was no different from that of teenagers playing.

"That's great..." Lily looked out the window enviously, peeling potatoes absently: "When will I find such a perfect love..."

"It will be soon." Connie next to her lowered her head and was seriously trying the seasoning of corn chowder with a soup dish: "Aren't you the most beautiful girl in your school? You have good grades, and the food you cook It’s also delicious, and you’ll definitely find a great boyfriend.”

Lily was stunned for a moment, her face was a little hot when she realized it, and she could only elbow him: "Smelly brat, even if you flatter me, it won't do any good."

However, it does feel good to be praised. Lily's chin lifted slightly, and she was about to happily continue to watch the two bosses. When she raised her eyes, she immediately "噫" like a frightened rabbit!With a sound.

"He he they are kissing!!"

——This kind of, this kind of very astringent and very adult kiss, how can she, she, the only girl who still has her first kiss and has never had a boyfriend so far, can watch it?

What responded to her was a worried reminder: "Lily, you got it!"

These words brought her back to reality from the side, and Lily lowered her head, only to realize that the knuckle of her left middle finger had been scratched to ooze blood by herself.Before she fell into a blood-sick panic, a pair of hands decisively pulled a tissue over and wrapped her hand.

"Does it hurt?" Connie's voice, which was in the period of voice change, seemed a little low at this time, but there was still a touch of tenderness mixed with it.

Lily let out an "ah", and stared blankly into the boy's eyes in a flustered shyness.

The firewood in the fireplace crackled and burned in silence, and the jumping fire light peacefully watched the two couples inside and outside the house.

……

This is Eugene and Shaw's tenth year together.

The 41-year-old Eugene sat in an armchair, while pulling the collar of his stiff collar shirt with his index finger, casually flipping through the news on the terminal.In the pushed headlines, there are familiar names occupying a large page - Joshua Rothschild has become the youngest speaker in the history of the alliance, it seems that this guy is also a lot more reliable.Thinking of this, Eugene slowly raised the corners of his mouth, planning to call him to announce the good news later.Other news followed a similarly positive trajectory, announcing the opening of a new theme park, the discovery of an important astronomical principle—and the achievement of a new technology.

——In Sagrand, scientists who were unable to make a breakthrough in the treatment of genetic diseases finally gave up their hope in miracles or secret medicines.However, rather than leaving everything to death, this group of unwilling people chose to complete the technology that allows the consciousness of the dying person to survive.This kind of technology is still very immature, and there are astonishingly many application barriers, but for those who suffered the heartbreaking disaster back then, this may not be a meager consolation.

Has it been ten years?The feeling of another world quietly enveloped Eugene, and he couldn't help being a little lost in thought.It was when Xiao called his name that he raised his head to the side and looked at the person coming.

Xiao was wearing a straight and close-fitting black tuxedo, with his left wrist raised in front of his neck, and his right hand was buttoning the cuff buttons on it.His long hair was combed all the way back into a neat bun.The sharp facial features of the biochemical man can be seen at a glance. The gray-blue eyes and light complexion should remind people of glaciers and snowfields; however, his eyes are too hot at this time, and they fall on Eugene As if to ignite the other party.

Eugene smiled because of this, straightened his front, put his folded legs flat, and stood up slowly.

The tuxedo of the same style perfectly set off his smooth shoulders and waistline, and his excellent body-to-length ratio made his legs look extraordinarily slender and powerful.The wheat-colored skin seemed to have been kissed by the sun, and the white shirt added an unspeakable charm.The originally slightly curly black hair was bound by hair gel on both sides, half of the forehead hair was combed back, and the other half was lazily resting on the sword eyebrows.The most intoxicating thing is the pair of golden eyes, which are slightly squinted because of the smile, revealing an obvious good mood in a casual way.

Xiao walked towards him step by step, lowered his head slightly in front of him, lowered his eyes and whispered in his ear: "I want to just carry you back to the room."

"Control yourself." Eugene raised his eyebrows and pressed his fingers against Xiao's chest, but there was still a smile in his eyes. "Let's go, or Connie will have to wait in a hurry."

They stepped out of the foyer behind the auditorium and walked side by side towards the main church with a tall dome.On the short path, many familiar faces greeted them with happy expressions and high voices.These people share their same destination and will be there with them to witness Connie and Lily's wedding.

All the guests who should be present have already taken their seats, and Eugene and Xiao sat in the first row on the left side of the aisle.They watched the priest standing in front of the altar, and then the door opened, and Connie, who had grown into a tall and straight young man, walked towards them with a slightly shy smile.

Eugene smiled at him.

Connie and Lily were still kids in his eyes—19 and 22, too young for a newlywed.However, in this small town, if you meet someone who is lovable and suitable, there is nothing stopping you from forming a family with him.Eugene saw with his own eyes that they took each other's hands ignorantly, and never let go.

…It was very different from his 20s.

At the same age, he knelt in the blood of his compatriots, swallowing tears from the bottom of his heart.At that time, he didn't know that the wish he was holding could not be realized in the end, he swayed back and forth between hope and despair every day, and felt that even every tomorrow was too far away from him.

He still remembered the self at that time, but the self at that time could never imagine the present time 20 years later.The fortunes of people can vary greatly, and in the flowing time, he never knows who will be happier than whom.

But it doesn't matter.

Because in the long night, someone finally found him and became his light.

……

On the altar, Lily confessed her journey to Connie crying and laughing, which made Connie blush.When it was time to take the oath, Lily even hiccupped a little while Connie sniffed while laughing.The hearts of all the men, women and children in the audience were melted, and their eyes seemed to be filled with water when they looked at the couple.

Shaw is rarely moved by any sensational scenes that don't involve his lover.The cyborg kept a perfect smile and looked at the two people on the altar calmly.

Then when Lily finally spoke, Eugene took his hand.

Xiao Zheng looked back inquiringly, and happened to bump into a pair of smiling eyes and lips that opened and closed silently.

His eyes widened slightly.

...After ten years, he finally heard the response Eugene failed to give back then.

At the end of the oath, Eugene finally used his vocal cords and softly changed the last line of the oath.

"mayhingdous part."

—May we never be apart.

The author has something to say:

The next chapter is complete.After that, after a while, I should make up the unfinished content of Chapter 59 in the old place.

I hope everyone can get a glimpse of the true happiness of Xiao and Eugene from these episodes.

Thank you for your support along the way (bow)
