Abandoned Lover [Future]

On the way to Joshua's house, Eugene took out the terminal and took a look.The information board has exploded. It is estimated that other than acquaintances, even the media have gotten news and come to the door.Some courageous reporters even directly sent a call request, which was directly blocked by Eugene.

Joshua couldn't help but sighed: "You seem to have become a celebrity..."

"Hurry up." Eugene interrupted him.

When Eugene seldom urged others, Joshua turned his head to take a closer look, and found that Eugene's lips had lost their color at some point.

"what happened?"

Eugene didn't speak, lowered his head, and pressed his right hand under his left rib.The black T-shirt couldn't see the color, but his palm was a sticky red.

Shaking his head, Eugene said: "You can send the car to our workshop for cleaning later."

Joshua almost drove the car off the road: "Are you injured? Why didn't you say it before?"

"It's not a big deal. I blocked the wound when I was changing clothes before, but unfortunately it just opened again."

"It's been a long journey..." Joshua seemed to understand something: "Wait a minute, you don't want to come to me because you are afraid that Xiao will worry?"

"You're noisy. Watch the way." Eugene closed his eyes again.

Joshua couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, he frowned and looked at Eugene again, and speeded up the car.

……

Both Eugene and Joshua live in Cornova, the largest city in Green Star.It’s just that Eugene’s apartment is located in half of the “Land of No Night”, which is a noisy and huge commercial and entertainment center, while the other half where Joshua’s house is located is the administrative center where the government, nobles, and religious dignitaries gather. It is also a residential area, quite clean and elegant, also known as "White Tower".

The Rothschild family, where Joshua was born, is famous and owns one of the most luxurious mansions in the "White Tower".However, this kind of aristocratic family seems to have an unimaginable obsession, that is, to inherit the style and tradition of the earth age to the end-every mansion is Baroque style, and the servants above and below are also living human beings.The biggest disadvantage of doing this, apart from the extremely expensive labor costs, is that the servants can't control their eyes and mouth after seeing a "man of the hour" like Eugene.

This was not the first time Eugene came to Rothschild's house, but it was the first time the servants recognized his face and identity.Surprised expressions and whispers, although carefully concealed, were obvious to the person involved.

After getting out of the car, Eugene half leaned on Joshua and walked forward, but his weight was leaning more and more on the latter's body.After finally reaching the wing where the guest room is located, he said to Joshua in a low voice: "You can help me bandage it later", and then dodged into a room.

There were two maids in black and white uniform skirts standing in the guest room. After seeing Eugene, they were stunned and their faces turned red.The popularity of the gladiatorial fight was so high that almost all the servants secretly watched some or all of the broadcast.Who would have thought that the silent Shura would suddenly appear in front of his eyes, not in a murderous version, but in a slightly tired version that made people feel pity.

Human yearning for the strong is almost out of blood, not to mention that this strong man is much more handsome than the camera.The two maids stepped forward calmly: "Is there anything I can do for you..."

"...Get out." Eugene pointed to the door.His head was a little dizzy, and now he took a breath before continuing to speak: "Please go out, thank you."

After the two girls walked out quickly, Eugene locked the door behind his back, closed all the curtains, and then slowly took off his clothes.In the bathroom, the clean mirror reflected Eugene's slender and muscular body covered in blood, as well as two raw wounds on his left rib and shoulder blade.

As the water in the bathtub turned light red, Eugene's original wheat complexion slowly revealed.When he stepped out of the bathtub again, the two wounds that were still oozing blood became more hideous, and on his lower back, a round mark that looked like a red tattoo also appeared.

It was a sentence written obliquely in three lines in a red circle, "Feel Luckytonight?"

Only when you look carefully, can you find that the strokes of this imprint are sunken into the flesh. It's not a tattoo, it's clearly a brand that was scalded by a branding iron.

Eugene picked up a bathrobe from a small table beside him and tied it around his waist, covering the brand and the body below, before leaving the bathroom.

……

When Joshua came in with the first aid kit, Eugene was sitting on the four-poster bed topless/topless, with a black silk bathrobe unbuttoned around his waist, revealing a shocking back.

This made Joshua not even complain about being driven, and he knelt down beside Eugene, and began to help him clean up the wound.Fortunately, the Rothschild family's medicine box did not stick to the technology of the old century. You only need to take out a translucent film to cover the wound, and after disinfection, the wound can be isolated and fixed. Nano-scale materials can automatically repair the wound. exposed tissue.

It stands to reason that this operation should be quick, but Joshua knelt for a long time inexplicably, making Eugene feel terrified: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Joshua said, watching Eugene pull up the bathrobe and put it on again.

——Eugene's skin is a smooth wheat color, and his muscles are slender and strong, as if they will slowly relax with his breathing.But this limb, which should have been extremely aesthetic, was covered by scars of various sizes and shades.

And what he had been looking at just now was a certain scar left on Eugene's shoulder.

The scar that seemed to melt some of Eugene's flesh and blood was left to save him.

…More than ten years ago, both Joshua and Eugene were studying at the NCO Academy.Reserve officers who belong to the same general will be assigned to the same non-commissioned officer academy. Joshua is in the reserve team guarded by the female general, and Eugene belongs to the special unit directly commanded by the female general. The two barely have an intersection.

The personal guards are mostly children sent by some famous nobles to prepare for politics, so their behavior is naturally extremely high-profile and eye-catching.The number of special forces is very small, and they never show their faces. Even other trainees don't know their tasks and responsibilities. They only know that this force is called "gatekeepers."

The special unit of General "Iron Hand" Tiev is called "Pioneer", and the special unit of General "Hermit" Sisong is called "Sight Sight", both of which sound more powerful than "Gatekeeper".In addition, the "Gatekeeper" students have almost no sense of existence. As time goes by, a group of top students in the bodyguard preparation headed by Joshua began to firmly believe that the gatekeepers are a group of meat feet with no name.

Then this group of pretentious sons from the personal guard reserve team were captured by the rebels from the neighboring country Sagrand when they went on a mission for the first time.

A group of underage second-generation ancestors were tied up in a corner of the starship, and they didn't even have the courage to cry.The last one who came to rescue them was led by Eugene, a "gatekeeper" team of only six people.

Six against 98, the enemy was wiped out, and the only person injured was Eugene.This is because Joshua was too excited to see the reversal of the situation after being rescued. He thought he was clever and wanted to sneak into the opponent's bridge, and then the enemy hiding in the dark aimed a laser gun at the back of his heart.

At the very moment, Eugene jumped out and pushed him aside, but his right shoulder was completely scorched.

…Now, more than ten years later, Joshua is standing beside Eugene, watching him standing on the balcony, leaning on the railing and smoking a cigarette.This scene seemed so far away from the moment when Eugene saved him, as if in a previous life.

He actually didn't want to disturb the tranquility, but after deliberating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to speak: "Did you know that after you retired, the death rate of gatekeepers never dropped again."

"Really. That's a pity." Eugene looked straight ahead.

"Don't you think that fighting on the battlefield is more meaningful than killing people in the arena?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Joshua knew that he had said the wrong thing.Eugene held the cigarette between his fingertips, turned around and looked at him with no emotion on his face: "What else does Mrs. Bei want you to tell me?"

"I……"

"Let me think about it, did she put forward the condition that my wish can be fulfilled through the military?"

"Eugene, I'm not..."

"I can't go back to the gatekeeper, and I won't die." Eugene's tone was not intense, and his volume didn't increase, but his whole body revealed a shocking aura. "What else do you want to say?"

Some panicked Joshua quickly explained: "Since you left six years ago, the Gatekeeper seems to have been in a slump, and the general's power has been repeatedly compressed by the other two—you know what the general's proposition means, The Union needs a true anti-war faction..."

"Is your logic wrong?" The smile that frightened Joshua appeared on Eugene's face again: "I don't care what I can do for the gatekeeper. What I care about is joining the gatekeeper What can it bring me?"

"And the last time I joined, it took it all away from me."

A stub of soot fell from Eugene's finger.

"I have nothing left to offer to the gatekeeper."

……

screwed up.He completely screwed up.

Joshua stood outside the door of Eugene's guest room, feeling nothing but an indescribable regret.

How could he not feel that Eugene had no attachment to the army?Even loathing.It's just that he agreed to spread the word for General Knowles for that little bit of indescribable selfishness.

Otherwise, how should he tell this man that he wants to fight by his side again?

——I am already different from the boy I was back then.look at me.Let me stand in front of you with my body, make up for the shot you took for me, and then show me that smile.That smile that you showed after you rescued me to comfort me who was paralyzed by panic.

Eleven years ago, a young man with golden brown eyes dragged a right hand that could not be lifted temporarily, and gently touched his forehead with his forehead.While smiling, he said to him, "Don't be afraid."

And in order to see that smile again, the one that reminded him of the sun, he leaned on Eugene's side.

It's just that that smile disappeared completely from that day on?

…Joshua leaned against the wall blankly, thinking almost mechanically, and then at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

It was seven years ago.

It was after... the unexpected death of Eugene's partner.

In his mind, he seemed to have vaguely found the reason why Eugene retired that year.

……

Lying on his side on the bed, Eugene silently endured the burning pain in his left rib and shoulder blade.It's just that after a long time, this feeling gradually became numb, while the other, more secretive and long-lasting dull pain entrenched in the chest gradually became clear.

What caused this pain was a sentence written by Xiao in his memory.

A few weeks ago, on a whim, he took Xiao to a fireworks festival by the sea.One of the activities in the festival is to tie the paper sticks with wishes on the high places of the bamboo branches, as if the wishes will come true.

Eugene has always held great disbelief towards this kind of activity, but Xiao and his attitude are just the opposite.So after Eugene simply wrote "World Peace", he subconsciously glanced at Xiao's paper sign, which was serious about writing.

On the blue paper, the handwriting of the cyborg is neat and neat, which can be seen clearly at a glance.

——I hope to fall in love with Eugene as a human being in the next life.

The fireworks rose to the highest point, pouring out a waterfall of golden flames at the moment of explosion.Xiao raised his head and smiled at him, his gray-blue eyes reflected the fire in the night sky and Eugene's own shadow.

Then Eugene found almost desperately that his heart, which he thought had been burned to ashes, was beating slowly again.

It's just because it's so lonely.It's just that there is too much intolerance and compassion for this biochemical man.Just warming each other casually, playing a lovers game

Many explanations and excuses failed to stop his fluke mentality at that moment.

—Would you like to try it?

—Go and try it out.

— Bet everything you have and see what you can get this time.

——What if it is possible?

——What if someone could fall in love with you?

—After all, you have been alone for too long.

— to love.

In the darkness, Eugene breathed slowly, raising an arm to cover his eyes.

Then he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, maintained a forced smile, and murmured in a low voice: "It hurts so much."
