Abandoned Lover [Future]

In the port outside Flintstone City, Miles was instructing the crew of the Red Squirrel to move things in. When he turned around again, Xiao and Eugene were already quietly standing behind him.

Miles looked at Eugene's face: "What happened? What kind of expression is this?"

The atmosphere of Eugene and Xiao walking all the way back was not quite right, and now that someone pointed it out, they could only pretend to be okay and smiled: "It's too hot."

After speaking, he walked directly to the front of the loading area, simply picked up a metal box, and walked quickly to the ship.

Miles didn't chase after him to ask, but watched him walk away, turned his head to look at Xiao who was still by his side, with a little curiosity on his face: "What did you do?"

"Give him a flower." The cyborg man said, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and there was a warmth in his eyes that Miles had never seen before.

"It's not bad." Myers said so, and patted Xiao on the shoulder: "I saw you right."

——He said that because Xiao had asked him specifically earlier what Eugene liked besides tobacco and alcohol.

The Eugene Miles knew hadn't learned to smoke.So the red-haired man combined his past memories and gave a somewhat ambiguous answer: Eugene likes those fragile things that make him want to protect; such as young animals, such as tiny flowers.

I just didn't expect Xiao to apply what he learned so quickly.

When he was about to turn around and leave, Xiao grabbed his arm.Miles turned around and found that Xiao was looking at him with rare serious eyes, and said to him: "If you are free, can you tell me more about Eugene's past."

The red-haired man froze for a moment.The cyborg probably got some benefits from the previous inquiries, so he couldn't wait to ask more questions.

He twitched one corner of his mouth, and smiled slyly: "Yes."

...After a while, the two of them sat together on the wooden box outside the stern.Miles, who doesn't smoke, now looks at the stars overhead and pops a gummy bear he bought earlier into his mouth.

"What do you want to hear?"

Xiao lowered his head and looked at his hands: "I want to know what he looked like when he was a child."

Myers stomped his chin and thought for a moment.

"I'm afraid you will feel bad when I say it," he said, "Are you sure you want to know?"

The remaining curvature of the corner of his mouth calmed down, Xiao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded.

Miles spoke up.

…As Eugene briefly mentioned before, Miles and Eugene were slaves bought from the same market at the same time.It's just that Miles is different from Eugene. He was already 16 years old at the time. He escaped from the black mine star on the border and sold himself.

Because Eugene was not willing to let anyone other than Gogo get close after being branded, Miles was thrown beside him before officially boarding the ship, and briefly assumed the duty of taking care of him.

Originally, Eugene wanted to run away when he saw someone, but seeing the fresh mark on the back of Miles' neck was worse than his, it seemed that he was less willing to struggle.Miles threw him into the bucket and lifted him out by pinching the back of his neck.After going back and forth several times, the boy who looked like a stray puppy washed off the mud and finally showed his human appearance.

"He was very thin at the time, his face was small, and his eyes were more conspicuous." Miles seemed to want to make a gesture, but he didn't know what he was going to do.At that time, Miles felt that such Eugene was very similar to the little prince described in the only storybook he had ever read.

It's just that the fate is a bit ill-fated.

After Miles boarded the boat, he was careless and quickly got along with everyone, but the boy seemed a little withdrawn.Miles would sometimes visit him in his cabin and see him sitting motionless with a strange cookie jar in his arms.

Miles asked him for a cookie, but Eugene refused to give it, and Miles grabbed it directly.Before he finished his mouth, Miles couldn't bear to see the other party's expression.

...It is said that it was the only thing that Eugene took with his life from the Green Star to protect him all the way.

Miles knew that Eugene would still want to go back, and he could see that the old men on the ship had a little doting on Eugene.So he encouraged Eugene to find the navigator who loved him the most, and sent a message to the terminal of Eugene's family behind the back of the captain Gao Ge.

Then Eugene began to wait.

He opened his cookie jar and told Miles that his family would find him before he finished the cookie jar.

The 12-year-old boy lowered his head, peeled off the exquisite packaging of the cookies, and gnawed them in small bites, as if he had managed to eat some rodent that had stored food.

One tablet a day.One tablet for two days.One tablet for three days.One tablet a week.

Miles watched him work very hard, not wanting that jar to bottom out.

Then the news that Eugene had been waiting for finally arrived, with a simple line on it.

— don't come back.

Hearing this, Xiao, who was sitting next to Miles, clenched his fists, and put his right hand on his ribs, as if he suddenly felt pain somewhere.

"At that time...he looked really pitiful." Miles made a long hiss, as if recalling some embarrassing scene: "We bystanders couldn't stand it anymore, all Surrounding him, I can't wait to conjure up a circle of toys to amuse him."

But Eugene didn't cry.

He smiled at everyone, and when they dispersed, poured the last few pieces from the cookie jar into Miles' hands.

"Then he said to me, 'Haven't you always wanted to try it? It's all for you.'"

Having said that, Miles smiled wryly.

"So he has been stubborn since he was a child, and he probably won't be able to change it in his life."

Since then, Eugene has never mentioned the matter of returning to Green Star.The originally frail boy grew up quickly, following the adult crew members who were one and a half tall, shuttled inside and outside the starship.When he was 14 years old, he was already able to overhaul the particle cannon on the ship with the maintenance technician, and after another two years, he simply grew into a little monster that could be thrown into the enemy pile and kill a bloody path.

Such a smart and powerful boy, but he is also damn beautiful.Her golden eyes seem to glow when she smiles, reminiscent of the midday sun.Everyone affectionately called him "little guy", as if he was the treasure of everyone on board.

Miles didn't realize it, his expression gradually became sad.He still remembered Eugene's happiest years, always smiling, with vivid movements and expressions.There was something terribly contagious about that energy, and seeing that face made Miles feel like it was another good day.

He recalled the boy's face at that time, and there was a complicated smile on his face—the nostalgia was mixed with bitterness, and some helplessness towards the lost things.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that Xiao was staring at him intently, with some scrutiny on his expressionless face.

Miles felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like this: "What's the matter? I suddenly discovered my beauty, do you want to empathize with me?"

Xiao shook his head, those cold gray-blue eyes were still fixed firmly on Miles.

He knew that the point of this conversation was not about Miles, but the other party's expression at this moment touched a certain part of his vigilance, and he couldn't help but want to ask a question.

"you like him?"

The smile froze on Miles' face.

—— Seeing such a reaction, Xiao didn't need any more answers.

But he didn't feel any relief after making accurate inferences.

After thinking about what Miles had done in the past few days, Xiao found that there are actually many things that can be followed.

Just as he could see that Miles was not interested in him, he could also see that Miles' approach to Eugene was not just a simple tease.The reason why he felt strong hostility toward this person at the beginning was that Miles looked at Eugene differently than when he looked at other people.

Xiao has been watching Eugene carefully, so he can clearly catch any weak or shaken expression on the other's face.However, no matter when he left the green star or after the jump, when he wanted to reach out to Eugene, Miles stepped in first.

Xiao didn't think such actions were aimed at him, so there could only be one explanation.

...the two people sitting on the wooden box did not speak.Xiao is because he didn't expect this sudden and unexpected turning point, and Myers is because he didn't expect that after such a long time, he would be seen through the thought that he had buried long ago.

After all, being older, Miles didn't let this embarrassing situation continue.He tilted his head back and smiled resignedly: "Don't worry, I won't fight with you."

Xiao didn't speak.He could see that Miles hadn't lied, but he couldn't let go of the threat immediately.

The time he spent with Eugene was too short after all.

Probably wanting to express his sincerity, Miles patted Xiao on the back forcefully, and reiterated his position: "To be honest, I really didn't mean that."

Xiao remained motionless, and only spoke again after a long time: "So you didn't tell him."

Eugene looked too natural in front of Miles, as if he didn't know anything about it.

"You have to have a chance." Miles smiled self-deprecatingly. "Now that he has you, what he said before..."

"Hasn't he always had someone he likes?"

After Miles finished speaking, Xiao suddenly had a terrible premonition that he didn't want to face.

The other party took Xiao's silence as a signal that he wanted to continue to detect, and uttered the next sentence.

"Didn't he tell you? That man grew up with me and Eugene, and we all call him No. 6."

The author has something to say: It's not that I want to deliberately abuse, the past with No. 6 cannot be bypassed, and the two must be resolved fundamentally before they can be together.

The flowers sent by Xiao are still very useful, trust me.
