Abandoned Lover [Future]

Green Star, Cornova, top of the White Tower.

The clouds and mist that originally surrounded the room were completely dispelled, and these four walls became a transparent medium, reflecting the night of Cornova under the feet.This space has thus become a quiet island suspended in the night sky, free from noise and disturbance from others, like a small paradise.

Fine light spots emerged from the quiet darkness, gathered, and danced, like some kind of proliferating colony.As time passed bit by bit, a human figure slowly gathered outlines from the void.As the halo splashed like water, a projection that looked like a real person appeared from the sky.

"This is my hand? Is it thinner than before?"

A voice no different from that of a real person echoed in the empty room, and it was the projection who raised his arm and looked at it.He then tried to touch his own chest, and sighed again: "Can I actually touch myself?"

Projection looks back and forth at himself, commenting on his "body" from time to time.However, he sang his one-man show for too long, so that in the end he had no choice but to walk to the ground step by step from the high air, and at the same time looked at the person sitting there with his knees hugged.

"Why are you still crying?"

...Xiao raised his head and looked at his lover who stretched out his hand.

Standing in front of him was Eugene, who was 31 years old when he first met.He set the other party at this age out of selfishness, because the appearance 15 years later still hurts him to this day.

Long before he could greet him that way, he had watched his loved ones crumble to the ground.Even if he told himself time and time again that it was just a body, he still couldn't contain the piercing pain.

He didn't cry at Eugene's funeral.Only now, when he finally saw his lover reappear in front of his eyes, the pain that had been tense and tried to strangle him had an outlet to vent.

The biochemical man wiped away the silent tears on his face, and slowly stood up from the ground.Then he reached out into the air, where he took Eugene's hand.This kind of touch caused a trace of surprise on the other party's face: "Xiao..."

"I can touch you because I am controlling you." Xiao's voice was obviously nasal, low and hoarse.He is communicating with the body that exists here, and with the power of the latter, he can finally touch his... lover again.

He habitually wants to call Eugene his human being, but his human has already abandoned his original body for him.What he was facing was Eugene's consciousness, a consciousness that had been digitized—a consciousness that could be perfectly controlled by him.

"There was too little time at that time, we didn't discuss this, Eugene." Xiao said with some difficulty.After a little silence, he continued: "Or, I thought of it, but I chose not to tell you."

"I'm afraid you will change your choice because of this."

"But I really want to keep you, Eugene." The biochemical man showed a self-deprecating smile: "Look, it's too late now."

However, he didn't see any hesitation or fear on Eugene's face.His lover looked at him sideways: "Is this what should be said now?"

Xiao lowered his head.

"You should at least say 'welcome back' and give me a hug?"

Xiao raised his head in a daze.In front of him, Eugene showed a smile that was inclusive and doting, illuminating him with the gold in his eyes.

And when he opened his arms, Eugene, who was still hovering in the air, fell into his arms, reminding him of the angels with their wings folded in human stories.

...he hugged him tightly.

……

Eugene had never seen the real view from the top of the White Tower before.He slowly pressed his hand against the transparent wall, and then felt the hard and cold touch under his palm.Cornova under his feet was quiet and dazzling, and it seemed that there was not much difference from his previous memory.

He turned his head and looked at Xiao: "Is this all the information you made me feel?"

Xiao nodded, and then added: "No changes have been made."

Eugene looked at the night again, and said after a long time: "Thank you."

His fingers lightly slid across the invisible barrier, and when he felt the touch, the contours of his fingertips were also slightly blurred.This made him realize that this is not a real physical body—with the current technology, there is no body that can fully reflect the consciousness stored by human beings.However, relying on Xiao's ability, he has a "tangible" sense.It made him feel like he was really alive, without any weird emptiness.

"...Aren't you afraid, Eugene?"

Eugene turned his head and looked at Xiao who spoke.

"Not only do you have eternal life now, you can't even end it on your own." There was faint sadness hidden in the gray-blue eyes. "I know you don't want to think about this. But now you will be easily controlled and manipulated by me."

"Aren't you afraid? You can never escape, but you can only be imprisoned by my side forever?"

Eugene kept his gaze on him.Then he turned around, walked towards Xiao step by step, stood on tiptoe, and wrapped his arms around the other's head and neck.

"……I'm not afraid."

His voice was calm but determined.

"So you don't have to be afraid."

"I promise to accompany you to the end, Xiao. If one day in the future I want to escape, then control me, or imprison me."

"As long as you are happy, you can use me as you like."

"To be honest, I really don't have any regrets in my life. The reason why I'm still here is because you are the only person I can't let go of no matter what."

"So, deal with me as you like."

The golden eyes closed slowly, and the invisible lips imprinted a tangible kiss.In the distance that was quietly taken away afterwards, Eugene whispered in his ear.

"...I love you, Shaw."

In the past 15 years, this sentence that has never been fully poured out has finally reached the ears that should be conveyed.In the hallucinatory dizziness, Xiao tremblingly tightened his arms.

……

In silence, the years and months flew by quickly.

Patricia Knowles died in her sleep at the age of 78.After the First World War in Sagrand, the alliance's three-general system collapsed. This female general single-handedly promoted the reform of military power and parliament, laying a solid foundation for curbing the rise of alliance oligarchy in the future.She is best known by posterity for her two diametrically opposed identities - the invincible Valkyrie of the Alliance, and a staunch anti-pacifist.In the second half of her political career, she set out to normalize relations with Sageron and enjoyed a high reputation in various circles.

Joshua Rothschild, still unmarried, is one of the current top advisers in Parliament.During his tenure as speaker, he focused on expanding the well-being of civilians, such as improving basic benefits for veterans, the disabled and minorities.For this reason, few people associated him with noble blood, but the advisor did not take it seriously.After middle age, his greatest hobby is domesticating double-digit dogs at home. According to the servants, these animals have a natural sense of closeness to him.

Jonathan Rothschild successfully transferred from the Life Society to the Ministry of Agriculture, and has since devoted his full research time to how to increase the production of rare food varieties.He is married to his assistant and has three sons, and his biggest trouble now is that his children each seem to like his brother more than himself, and insist that "any dog ​​in the uncle's house is better than you fun".

After the death of his elder brother, Dietrich Arning entered into a political marriage with the eldest daughter of another noble family.This is a combination without any emotional basis in the eyes of everyone, but he has since faded out of Cornova's sensual circle.He and his wife have a son and a daughter named Simon and Diana.His children called him a "gentle and patient father" and respected and adored him.In the second half of his life, he was extremely reticent. Apart from being with his family, he often stopped under the White Tower.

Karl passed away peacefully at the advanced age of 97, and his daughter and son-in-law eventually moved back to New Athens from Mines.Mia became a college history professor, while her younger sister, Mina, ran an Acropolis chain of candy stores.

...and at this very moment, Changxing ushered in another warm and humid spring.

The brown-haired boy was lying on the grass in front of the house, looking at the blue sky absently.The high school homecoming dance was next week, and he wanted his mother to make a bouquet for his girlfriend, but he didn't want her to take the opportunity to make him laugh.

A sudden shadow fell in front of him, the boy blinked, and looked at the person who bent over him with a smile on his head.He was sure he didn't know this person, but this person looked at him with a familiar nostalgia.

"Are you Lily's child?"

the man with the golden eyes asked him.This man is really good-looking, the boy thought.He nodded and pointed to the shop behind him: "Is it a customer? My mother is in the shop."

The man smiled more happily, turned his head and waved in a certain direction, as if he had a companion.The boy simply got up from the ground, patted his pants, and said to him, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

"Thank you." The man followed behind him, and then asked, "What's your name?"

"Sean." Sean turned his head and said while touching the freckles on his nose, "My name is Sean."

——With the sound of jingling bells, the door of the shop was pushed open again.Sean looked up and called to his mother: "Ma'am, you have a guest—"

"How many times have I told you, don't drag your voice..." Lily's figure appeared from behind the counter of the flower shop, and when she saw the figure behind her son clearly, she immediately said "噫"!scream.

"Ulani, hurry up, hurry up and call your father in the back workshop," she greeted her daughter who was wrapping a bouquet, tears streaming down her beautiful big eyes: "Tell him, tell him They're back..."
