Abandoned Lover [Future]

——Why do you know the people on the Rift?

After calming down, Eugene leaned to the side, feeling that Xiao's question was too tactful.

After all, the essence of this question is actually "why did you become a slave on the star pirate ship".

If he could avoid it, he didn't want to answer such a question.It's just that he always takes Xiao to the main ship, and his past is not a secret to the people on board.

"When I was 12 years old, due to some accidents, I was sold to the black market outside the center." Eugene's voice was flat, as if he was telling a not-so-interesting story. "At that time, the captain took pity on me, fearing that I would suffer in other people's hands, so he bought me."

He smiled casually: "But apart from a little pain during the branding, my treatment on the boat was not bad. After all, I was young, and everyone let me go."

"Besides, the Rift is different from other ships. Even marked slaves may survive on the ship legally. For example, Miles, he boarded the ship at the same time as me, but soon became a slave. Combatants."

However, most people, including himself who had just boarded the ship, did not rely on this identity to survive.

Eugene did not tell Xiao the second half of the information.

"Although it was a bit tortuous, the result was not bad for me. I like the people on the boat very much. They are my real relatives."

Eugene looked up at Xiao: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Xiao shook his head.Even if he had a question he wanted to ask, judging from the way Eugene organized his language, the other party would definitely not want to answer it.

"Thank you for telling me this."

……

Xiao left Eugene's cabin, and then walked directly to the main cabin.Miles was looking at a projection screen and counting the items on the supply list. When he saw him coming, he turned his head and gave a formulaic smile, and then turned his attention back to his work.

"Are you ready?"

The red-haired man asked him while looking at the screen.

Shaw didn't want to answer the question, but he did owe Miles a thank you.

"……thanks."

"Small things."

Miles didn't intend to continue talking, but Shaw let his question out.

"Why was Eugene sold on the black market back then?"

Miles stopped what he was doing.He turned around, looked at Xiao very calmly, and gave a concise answer.

"He was kidnapped. His family refused to pay the ransom."

……

Sitting on his own bunk, Eugene dug out a small package of oiled paper from the bag he brought over.He took out a small piece of tobacco from it, put it on the back of his lips, and sucked it, then chewed slowly.

The body that had been used to nicotine for a long time almost let out a sigh, and Eugene leaned against the wall of the cabin, blinking his eyes slowly.

Perhaps because of Xiao's problem, he recalled the day nearly 20 years ago that completely changed his destiny.

—It was Friday, the day he came home from public school every week.

When the change happened, he had just stepped out of the candy store, and in his backpack were the cookies he had just bought for Dietrich.

He didn't realize it himself. At the age of 12, he seemed to be the most standard son of aristocrat.Behavior is polite, demeanor is calm, although the figure has not yet formally elongated, one can already imagine what kind of tall and straight appearance it will be in the future.

Especially those beautiful and conspicuous golden eyes, which won't make anyone mistake them.

Knowing his identity since he was a child, he doesn't like to bother servants and bodyguards by his side, so even if he travels to and from the busy business district in Land of Night, there is no one else around him.

He wasn't overly alert when two tall grown men approached him at the same time.This is the section of the road with the most passers-by during the day, and theoretically speaking, it is unlikely that there will be any accidents.

No surprises are likely.

He still remembered the sky he saw when he looked up at that time—the blue sky was clean, the sun was just right, and in the middle of the skyline was the White Tower in the distance. Everything looked peaceful and peaceful.

He was caught off guard when something stuck to the back of his neck.

... When he woke up again, his eyes were blindfolded, his hands were cut behind his back and tied behind his back, and his backpack had not been taken away.

Even though his heart was beating wildly out of fear, he still forced himself to calm down and figured out the current situation.Although the kidnapping sounds like a low-probability event that can only be seen in the news, but when you think about it carefully, he is actually a convenient target.

The Alning family has declined for a round. They are not considered a prominent noble family, but they are still far richer than ordinary people.The security around him was no better than ordinary people, and the people who were watching him were not stupid.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately, he was here, not Dietrich.Deed is delicate and afraid of the dark, if he was in this situation, he should already be crying.

Having judged the situation clearly, he obediently took the hostage and did not try to offend the star robbers who kidnapped him.However, Star Bandit, who was very satisfied with his obedience at first, angrily took off the bandage that blindfolded him on the third day after he could not wait for the ransom.

—How obnoxious do you have to be that your family won't pay you a penny?

The man said this to him and squeezed his chin firmly.

…Eugene could not quite understand himself at that time.At that time, I seemed to be desperately wanting to live. Facing the reality of being abandoned, the first thing I did was not to get angry or collapse, but to squeeze out a smile.

The fear of death is too deep, he learned to flatter and curry favor overnight without a teacher.

In the four months since then, he has been resold four times, being turned around like goods, and each time he is further and further away from the place he wants to go back to.During this process, facing the eyes of those people on the black market, he, who obviously had no understanding of human affairs, also began to realize that his appearance was a dangerous thing.

He can't appear fierce, nor can he appear too docile.The survival instinct made him carefully avoid actions and expressions that would arouse the buyer's desire for conquest and sadism, and he disguised himself as a dull, stupid little lunatic.

He did not fall into the hands of those who wanted to buy chicks/prostitutes.It's just that he didn't expect that such a result would allow him to be listed as an organ donor in the largest black market outside the center.

When being pushed onto the auction block, the boy with golden eyes shed tears for the first time since he was kidnapped.

He worked very hard.But he couldn't go back, and he couldn't survive.

The tears that fell fell down the cheeks that he had deliberately stained, and two dark gray gullies rushed out.

In the shadow of the back row of the auction house, a broad figure raised his head to look at him, and pressed the number on the bidding device in his hand.

…Two days later, his childhood ended neatly at the moment when the soldering iron touched flesh.

After that, the 12-year-old sat kneeling naked in a dark and airtight room, his hands were tied, his back was bent low, and he had no strength to move.After being scalded, the skin and flesh on the back of his waist burst open quickly, and red and yellow blood mixed with water flowed down—that was the first time he knew that the pain was extreme, tears would flow down unconsciously, and saliva would never close. The closed mouth slowly fell to the ground.

On the day when the door of that room was finally opened, he saw an elderly man with a long gray and mottled beard standing outside the door.

That's his buyer.This ridiculous term became his reality at this time.

Would this man have his body ripped open?Or transform him into a plaything for molestation/playing?

He no longer had the strength to fear.But the man came up and just patted the top of his hair and let out a sigh.

"What's your name?" the man asked him.

He opened his mouth, his voiceless throat hurts even to breathe.

—— Enduring the burning pain, the skinny boy uttered two difficult syllables in front of Gao Ge.

"...Eugene."

……

Eugene took a deep breath, took a light metal container from the side, and spit out the chewed tobacco, which was dark brown in color like an old blood clot.

In his past, he lost too much and gained too little.In the end, there was even an illusion of invulnerability, because he felt that he had nothing left that could be taken away, and he didn't want anything.

This state could have been maintained forever, and he could have spent the rest of his life in Green Star in a daze.

But Dietrich threw someone in front of him, reminding him of himself who was taken in by Gao Ge at that time.

Eugene recalled Xiao Gang's appearance when he came to his home—the cyborg's personality was not very pleasing at first, he seldom smiled and was silent a lot, and he was indeed more like a machine than a human.

But such Xiao, when Eugene took him out for the first time, showed a look that moved Eugene.

In front of the bustling commercial street at night, the tall biochemical man raised his head and looked at the repeatedly changing advertising projections in the sky above his head, with silent curiosity and admiration in his eyes.The colorful streamer reflected in those gray-blue eyes, changing the colors more beautiful than the original ones.

Then Shaw turned his head and gave him a very shy smile.

...Sho like that looks very much like a human being.

A human being who still has expectations for this world.

Being able to unearth loveable details in the colorless or meaningless life Eugene has grown accustomed to.

A long time ago, he might have seen the world with such eyes.At that time, he felt that the world was good, and the future was worth looking forward to.

——Why did you do so much for Xiao?

At the very beginning, it was probably because when he fulfilled Xiao's wish, it seemed to make up for the self who was not responded to and had nothing back then.

He didn't want to see the light disappear from those eyes.

……

Shaw stood in the shadow of the cabin corridor, behind the wall against which Eugene was fast asleep in his cabin.

After learning the reason why Eugene got on the ship from Miles, he really wanted to go through the door and hold Eugene tightly in his arms.He wanted to tell Eugene that everything was going to be okay, that he would risk his false life in the future and let nothing hurt him.

But such words and actions are like comfort that has expired for a long time. Apart from the superficial value, they cannot fill the scars that have been left.In the more than 30 years that Xiao couldn't touch at all, Eugene had pieced himself together time and time again, and became the current man who seemed to have no weaknesses and would not cry out for pain.

What Xiao wanted to do most but couldn't do anyway was to hold that boy in his arms, wipe away his tears, and comfort him softly.

He didn't want to imagine the fear and grievance that Eugene had experienced, because he knew that he could only be a late protector forever, and there was no way to go back to the past to replace him.

—What can I do for you, Eugene?

—Let me do something for you, Eugene.

……

In the corner of the main cabin, Miles propped his head on one hand, casually flipping through a paper-based collection of poor-quality poems from the past.After seeing a certain page, he showed a mocking smile.

The verse on that page reads (1):

The world always threatens to exchange in the name of love

But I always forget that this relationship begins with giving

love

Even if one day you forget my name

Please also remember that there is someone in this world who has willingly dedicated his all to you. The author has something to say:

1: This is what I wrote to be on point.Although it is very popular, after reading the content at the back of this article, you can turn back and take a look here...

(it's he, don't worry)

2: Although this article seems to be abusive, it is really a redemption article in essence, believe me.

3: Tomorrow there will be two shifts for clipping, the first shift will be in the morning and the second shift will be at [-]:[-] p.m.Promise me, you must squat until the second watch, or you will regret it...
