Abandoned Lover [Future]

When Miles rushed to Gogo's room, Eugene was walking out with Xiao with his head down.

Eugene's face was bloodless, and he walked very slowly.After hearing Miles' footsteps, Eugene raised his head, wanting to twitch the corners of his mouth out of habit.It's a pity that the muscles around the lips didn't listen to his commands. After two seconds, he gave up.

"Why are you here?" Eugene asked Miles.

"What happened?" Miles asked him back.

"Just a little tired." Eugene closed his eyes, took a slow breath before opening them again: "Did you see Basil when you came? I don't know how he will arrange for me yet."

Basil was the old man who took the lead to greet Eugene. He was originally the navigator of the Rift, and was pushed to be the captain by the crew after Gogo's death.

"I know your room number, come with me first." Miles looked at Eugene's face, suppressed his urge to continue asking, and pointed to the direction downstairs.

Eugene nodded, thanking him very softly.After taking two steps, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked again: "What should Xiao do?"

"Live with you, is it okay? It's already against the law for you to bring someone who is not a pair on board, and it is unlikely to find a single room for him again."

"It can be arranged like this. Please thank him for me."

Xiao followed behind Eugene, and he should have felt a little lucky when he heard such a development.However, after witnessing the previous scene, he didn't feel that anything could make him jump up easily.

—At the end of his conversation with Eugene, Eugene tried to smile at him, nodding slowly.Xiao didn't see any agreement from that nodding gesture, it was more like Eugene was telling him that he had indeed heard what he said.Looking at the slightly twitching corner of the other's mouth without a smile, Xiao wanted to reach out and smooth out the unnatural curve.

Then Eugene stood up slowly and said to him, let's go.

It's as if what they've just been talking about is a trivial matter.

……

Although the living area on the Rift is huge, every room is very similar in style and size.Even if combatants have a pair, as long as the other party is not a combatant, the living area allocated is as large as a single room.

Miles led Eugene and Xiao to a corner room on a certain floor and stopped.The room is a square quadrangle, with a bunk bed, a table, two chairs, and a separate bathroom in a simple and compact place.Now there were three grown men of not small stature standing in this not-so-spacious room, and it suddenly seemed extremely cramped.

Eugene put aside his almost empty suitcase, as if he wanted to fall directly on the bed.Later, thinking that Miles was still there, he asked him to let him apologize to Basil for himself, guessing that he would miss today's dinner.Miles pushed him directly onto the bed and said you should go to sleep.

Eugene didn't resist, lay down without taking off his clothes and shoes, and pulled the blanket on the bottom bed to wrap himself into a cocoon.Miles still wanted to pull Xiao to ask what happened, but when he turned around, he found that Xiao had walked to the bedside without a sound, and now he gently lifted the lower edge of the blanket, and was bending down to help Eugene untie the blanket. Laces on boots.Eugene faced the wall and remained motionless, while Ren Xiao did what he was doing.

This made Miles suddenly see No. 6 and Eugene from that year.

They are obviously two completely different people, and their interaction with Eugene is also very different, but it gives Miles the same sense of alienation.

More than ten years ago, as long as No. 6 and Eugene stood together, it was a world isolated from others.More than ten years later, Xiao and Eugene stand side by side in the same invisible line, but he is still the close person outside the line.

The red-haired man silently exited the room and pressed the close button for the two of them.He walked in the direction of the back kitchen, wanting to grind the dessert cook to see if he could let him eat a piece of creme brulee before dinner.

He needs some healthy, harmless reassurance.

When passing by the atrium, he found many people around the punishment field with a transparent barrier, watching with interest.Miles frowned and approached, as expected, he heard the sound of the whip breaking through the air.

Miles' teeth were a little gritty: "Who is Fasha smoking?"

"Julian. I laughed so hard, how many times has he been beaten this week?"

Fasha is the quartermaster of the Rift, in charge of rewards, punishments and discipline on the ship, and he is also an excellent combatant.Six years ago, the original quartermaster chose to return to the land after Gao Ge's death, and he elected Faxia who had just boarded the ship at that time to take over.

Fasha was a tall, mature-looking woman about Miles' age, with a soft face, chocolate complexion, and a head of sexy black wavy hair.But now, she raised the whip in her hand, and calmly whipped it at the young man who attacked Eugene before——Julian had been tied behind his back, and the whip landed on his left side precisely and trickily. Just above the collarbone, Julian's whole body was tensed by the extremely small point of force. He bit his lower lip tightly and let out a heavy breath.

"...the captain said not to disturb the guests, why didn't you listen?" Faxia's voice was a little lower than the average female voice, like mellow and warm honey, which contrasted sharply with the merciless movements of her hands Compared.

"It's just a mourner who betrayed the Rift, why do you protect him from top to bottom?" Julian licked the blood on his bitten lip: "You might as well be more ruthless, otherwise Give me strength, I will still stab him later."

Fasha looked at him, shook his head without anger, and then raised his whip again.

After two crisp crackling sounds of "papa", Julian let out an indistinct cry of pain—the two whips landed on his face mercilessly, taking the middle of his lips as the intersection, and pulled out A conspicuous, humiliating X-shape.His lips swelled rapidly, preventing him from uttering any offensive words.

Miles on the side heard what Julian had just said, and his heart sank.Seeing Zane standing on the sidelines with an innocent face, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and quickly pulled him aside.

"Julian went to provoke the guests?" Miles didn't call Eugene by name, because he was afraid that Zane would not know who Eugene was.

Zane nodded: "He used a dagger, as if trying to stab someone. I don't think he should do it, so I told Fasha."

Miles' head throbbed sharply: "...so you were there."

"Yes, I even introduced myself." Zane smiled so much that his eyes narrowed: "That person is Eugene, right? His eyes are so beautiful."

Facing Zane's face, which was very similar to No. 6, but with the opposite temperament, Miles suddenly understood the reason for Eugene's strange behavior before - the reminder he forgot once in a while turned out to be the biggest miscalculation.

"Can I ask you for a favor?" Miles tried to make himself sound a little more polite: "Please don't appear in front of him in the future."

Zane's eyes were filled with doubts: "Why?"

"You should know your previous pair with him..."

"... They look alike, I know." Zane's expression was very serious. "So he wouldn't want to see me more?"

"Person No. 6 is gone, and you are dangling around with such a face, do you think he will feel better?" Miles frowned.

Zane thought for a while: "I don't know, but I still want to make friends with him." He turned his head sideways: "Myers, you are not the captain or Fasha, I don't need to listen to you. "

Miles had nothing to say.Looking at the tall boy in front of him, he suddenly felt that no matter how many desserts he ate, he couldn't make up for his mental and physical exhaustion tonight.

……

That same night, Eugene had a dream while lying in bed.

In the dream, as a bystander, he watched his 12-year-old self meet him for the first time.

The 16-year-old No. 6 was already the height of an adult, and at that time he could only reach the opponent's chest.In front of him, the tall, thin, black-haired boy had a handsome but indifferent face, with a thin white shirt on his broad shoulders, and his hands and feet seemed a little slender because of the sudden elongation.

At that time, he didn't have the heart to remember these details at all, but now, he has become a vision floating aside, so he can watch all this greedily and insatiably.

At the age of 12, he was taken to Room 6 by Gao Ge's men, shaking violently all over his body.He'd just heard from the crew that Number Six was a good boy and wouldn't hurt him.It's just that he saw too many disgusting things on the slave ship, and this kind of assurance seemed more like a whitewash for filth, which made him feel sick to his stomach.

He knows he is a slave.A slave who has no status and has to rely on others to survive, something that can be called the property of the person in front of him.

But he was still not reconciled.

When the others exited and closed the door, the 12-year-old quickly jumped onto the opponent's body like a violent cub.Even with the huge stature difference, he still pulled the opponent's hair with one hand, while holding a piece of iron sheet that he quietly removed from the old equipment with the other hand, he slashed towards the opponent's chest.

His movements were disorderly, but the young man didn't stop him, but let him cut his chest so that it was dripping with blood.The white top was cut into a series of rips, and then there were large red marks.In the end, the boy seemed to realize that he couldn't wait for Eugene to calm down, so he finally grabbed Eugene's arms and lightly pressed him down.

The wound on his lower back hadn't healed yet, and he was crying uncontrollably at that time.The boy's back trembled, and he let go of the hands that imprisoned him, watching him shrink into a ball, revealing the scab marks on his waist.

"Are you in pain?" the teenager asked him, with a confused expression on his face.

Eugene could not answer him.

"I don't know what pain feels like. If you are afraid of pain, let me protect you in the future."

The boy bent down to him, stretched out his hand, curled the knuckles of his index finger, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Eugene's eyes.

The movement made Eugene look at him in pain.

That could obviously be an overly intimate and uncomfortable gesture.The boy's black eyes were so clean, and there was no expression on his young face.

Then the young man stood up in front of him, looked at the clothes on his chest that had been cut by him, took them off casually, crumpled them up, and wiped away the blood.The wounds he made seemed to have stopped bleeding, and were covered under the wiped blood, with no traces to be seen anymore.

Six held out his hand to him.

"I will be your pair from now on. My name is No. 6."

The boy didn't seem used to smiling, and the corners of his mouth raised to him seemed a little stiff.He looked at Eugene and repeated the previous sentence again.

"I will protect you."

——The upper body of No. 6, which was covered by clothes before, was exposed under the light.The light wheat-colored shoulders are broad, and the muscles covering them are thin but strong.

In the 12 years after saying this sentence, No. 6 used this body to block the danger and malice heading towards him time and time again.

Eugene looked at him in the dream, and his teenager only looked at himself in the past.

……

Eugene still felt hot eyes when he woke up in the middle of the night.His chest heaved, his lips parted a little, and he was panting rapidly.

Beside him, the dim light illuminated the surrounding furnishings—the pattern and furnishings of the room were so familiar to him, making him feel as if he was still trapped in a dream.Subconsciously, he wanted to get up and look up to see who was sleeping on the upper bunk.

It's just that as soon as he sat up, he met a pair of gray-blue eyes.

Xiao sat by the bed, watching him quietly.

Realizing that this was the reality he was in, Eugene's expectations faintly fell through.

Fortunately, facing Xiao's profile, he still had some strange comfort left.

——If the hallucination is destined to disappear, having Xiao by his side is much better than sitting alone.

Looking at the biochemical man in front of him, Eugene suddenly felt a strong sense of unreality.He actually returned to the place he left 13 years ago, and Xiao became the only thing that reminded him of his past in Green Star.His two long experiences tried to falsify each other, and Xiao's existence was like an anchor, forcing him to dock in the reality of this moment.

The warm yellow light made the biochemical man's light complexion look more bloody.Seeing Xiao like this, Eugene lowered his head: "...I made you worry."

Xiao smiled, as if saying that it doesn't matter.

The two sat facing each other in silence.Reason and memory slowly returned to Eugene's body, reminding him of what happened before.

He vaguely remembered Xiao's expression when he faced him in Gao Ge's room.He saw fear in those gray-blue eyes, but the other's face only showed warmth to him.

That kind of careful treatment would make him feel worried in retrospect.But at that time, he was able to look at that face without any reaction, as if he was like a container of the feeling of being emptied.

The combination of guilt and the comfort of being cherished made him feel that he didn't know how to face the biochemical man in front of him.In the end, he could only support his head with his hands, and pressed his forehead: "Before... I didn't say those words on purpose."

"I know." The biochemical man's voice was low but soft, making one want to sigh. "You don't need to apologize."

The two fell back into silence again.

Facing other people, Eugene may want to use evasion to face inquiries he doesn't want to face.But facing Xiao, sometimes he hopes that the other party can ask a few more questions.

He didn't know if curiosity was suppressed in the setting of the cyborg, or maybe Xiao himself didn't maintain interest in his past.However, no matter what the truth was, thinking that he might experience strange behavior again when facing the young man who looked like No. 6, he felt that he had to give Xiao a brief explanation.

"That young crew member looks a lot like a... friend of mine who passed away."

This is the first time he has taken the initiative to mention the matter of No. 6 to others in several years.

He felt that with Xiao's slenderness and sensitivity, he could simply deduce a story for him that didn't need his explanation.

However, as expected, Xiao's kind and considerate reassurance did not appear.The cyborg just straightened his back slightly, then raised the corners of his mouth politely, and said "really?"

That perfect but not too warm smile made Eugene feel as if he had done something wrong.

……

Xiao looked at Eugene, at the slightly disturbed face.

He suddenly discovered that he hated Eugene's lying to himself more than Eugene's isolation of himself.

The moment Eugene woke up, he saw the light burning in the other's golden eyes, which suddenly went out when he faced him.

—Who do you want to see?

Xiao wanted to ask a question, but he also felt that this question was unnecessary.

He cobbled his boy together, guarded him, and watched him fall asleep.Then the moment the other party woke up, he found himself standing in a wrong position.

There is no place for him here.

... Xiao stood up, unbuttoned the top button of his collar, and took off his shoes.

"Get some more sleep. I'm going to rest, too."

Saying so, the cyborg did not wait for Eugene's answer, which was rare, and easily supported the upper bed with his hands, and rolled up on it almost silently.

Eugene was left sitting in the dim light, feeling the sudden rejection from Xiao.

Before that, he felt that Xiao's sense of existence was almost non-existent and threatening, so he could easily let go of his defenses in front of the other party.However, now that Xiao decided to retreat from his side, the room suddenly became empty and lost its temperature rapidly.

It was then that he discovered that since the beginning of the acquaintance, Xiao's aura has always surrounded him gently, separating him from the loneliness he was used to with his eyes and attention that never moved away.

So when he briefly returned to the past situation, he would feel that this emptiness became more unbearable than he remembered.

That night, he waited for Xiao to say some more sentences, but Xiao kept silent.

The author has something to say:

Recently, due to changing a new job and not being in good health, the speed of saving manuscripts has slowed down.
