Abandoned Lover [Future]

Eugene was pulled from sleep by pain in his right hand.After that, he just wanted to go out to smoke a cigarette, but he didn't expect to be caught by Xiao one second before he left, and he insisted on seeing the ship's doctor.

According to the scan results, there is a neat section in the middle of his fourth metacarpal bone.Thanks to it, Eugene's right hand will be immobilized, and only his index finger and thumb will be used for the next three weeks.

… Xiao accompanied Eugene to the doctor, and now he walked back with him.In the residential area, the lights are gradually dimmed.In the simulated morning light, Xiao turned his head and looked at him: "Aren't you going to tell me the reason for your injury?"

This should have been a dissatisfied interrogation, but Xiao's voice was too gentle and calm, making Eugene uncertain whether the other party was angry.

Although he didn't think Xiao had any reason to be angry.

Eugene subconsciously wanted to make up an excuse to get away with it, but when his eyes met Xiao's, some slight guilt made him look away and tell the truth.

"... punched the wall."

Looking at Xiao's expression, for a moment Eugene felt that the portrait was to blame him.However, the cyborg just stopped and looked at his injured hand.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's okay." Eugene raised his hand and smiled.Wanting to prove that he was fine, he even tried to flick his wrist.

Xiao raised his hand to stop Eugene from moving.

He looked up at Eugene, with complicated emotions in his eyes, he hesitated for a few seconds before opening his mouth.

"If... I mean, if you have the urge to do this next time, can you please consider other options before acting?"

The biochemical man's brows were still slightly frowned, but he was trying to show a comforting smile.As if he realized that he did not take such a position to speak, his every word was full of irrevocable compromise and consideration.

"Instead of hurting yourself, you..." Xiao's voice paused, as if he felt that the next sentence was inappropriate.However, he couldn't find the right words to replace, and he finally said: "...you can hit me, okay."

The tone of the last sentence was so low that it was already a pleading tone.Looking at Xiao's face, Eugene suddenly understood that Xiao was not joking.

This kind of attitude from the other party made him find it more difficult to deal with than the uprising's objection.Subconsciously, he apologized to Xiao.

When saying "I'm sorry", Eugene suddenly had a very strange feeling.As the word came out, he seemed to have surrendered a little ownership of this body—when his pain was so taken seriously, he seemed to no longer live for himself alone.

This delicate sense of responsibility weighed on his shoulders, a weight he had never felt before, and which made him feel strange.

……

At broad daylight on the Rift, Eugene went to find Miles.

There are many things that he needs to deal with and face, but in order to quickly start his job as a star thief, he wants to find Miles before he starts working, to understand what the Rift has been doing these years, Where should he take over.

——Just when the door of Miles' room opened, both of them froze for a moment.

Just in the past night, Eugene's hand was immobilized, and half of Miles' face was swollen.Asking again, it turned out that Miles was under too much pressure recently, accidentally overeating sweets, and officially rotted a wisdom tooth last night.

A few hours before being woken up by Eugene, the poor ship doctor was called up by Miles to pull out a tooth, and his sleeping condition was probably a bit worrying.

The two laughed at each other for a few words, and then they started talking about business.

In this era, there are many things Star Pirates can do.Under Miles' explanation, Eugene learned that the Rift had not let go of its old business of looting in the past few years, but in addition, it was also engaged in smuggling, escorting arms, and being employed by unscrupulous The zone does armed support and so on.

The looting that Basil mentioned to Eugene yesterday was not long after, and the target was a cargo ship belonging to an illegal miner of the Black Rock Mine.The business of these people is not legal in nature, even if they are robbed, it is difficult to lodge a complaint with the Alliance government, and because the blackstone mine can be used as the main energy source to drive the starship, these ships are often watched by the Rift fat sheep.

It is worth mentioning that Basil seems to attach great importance to the sustainable development of this livelihood. He will take 1/3 of the goods from the passing cargo ships, and will also guarantee the passage of the other party in the future.This made Eugene feel that the current Rift is more like an organization for collecting tolls, which is very creative.

"I will also go with you for this robbery, which can be regarded as taking care of you. You can choose now, whether you want to do the boarding job or the escort later." Miles clutched his hand While talking, Lian seemed to have thought of something, and added: "Although the target this time is a new mine owner, the risk should be very small. If you want, you can take Xiao with you."

After a moment of silence, Eugene said: "Can you take Xiao as an escort?"

Miles was stunned for a moment: "It's possible, but it doesn't take three combatants to escort..."

"I'm going to board the ship."

This is the task of using armed suppression to forcibly board the ship and obtain looted supplies after forcing the opponent's ship to stop.Eugene was already one of the combatants with the highest quality when he left, so it was not difficult to do such a job.

"Your hand is still broken..." Miles felt a little helpless.He was well aware of Eugene's ability to hold weapons with both hands, and he wasn't really worried about anything.However, the other party's reason for doing this was nothing more than wanting to find someone to take care of Xiao, and fearing that others would gossip about Xiao.

This makes it difficult for him to point out to Eugene that since he has decided to send Xiao away in the near future, Eugene actually doesn't need to care so much about Xiao's situation.

Sighing, Miles thought of something else.

"One more thing, I think I need to explain to you in advance." Miles looked into Eugene's eyes, "Now all the looting of the Blackstone mine ship will be followed by a man named Zane. He can directly After appraising the purity of the black stone mine, the captain should also send him aboard this time."

For a moment, Eugene didn't associate this name with whose face: "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Miles was silent for a second.

"...you've seen him."

This sentence was a bit inexplicable, and Eugene wanted to ask again, but suddenly thought of something.

Seeing Eugene's expression and movements stiffen in an instant, Miles couldn't help but confirm again: "So, do you want to think about it again?"

Eugene waited for the physical stress to pass, slowly relaxing his unconscious back, and shaking his head at Miles. "Since I decided to stay, sooner or later I have to get used to the existence of such a person." He pulled out a self-deprecating smile: "This time, let's take it as practice."

Miles just looks at him.

…As a pure bystander, Miles could feel the huge shadow that No. 6 left on Eugene, although he did not exactly understand the relationship between the two people at the beginning.

In the very beginning, his relationship with Eugene was even closer than number 6.Number 6, who was the same age as him, was extremely taciturn, and there seemed to be no expression on his face other than indifference, and he would just silently follow behind Eugene, like a bodyguard, or some large pendant.

He didn't think No. 6 was a threat at first, until he saw that No. 6 seemed to know no pain, frantically protecting Eugene who had killed him in all the battles.

He counted what Number Six had carried for Eugene—knives, hammers, clubs, daggers, even bullets.

Obviously, it was a serious injury that could easily kill a person, but No. 6 could get through it time and time again.Facing this sacrifice of life in exchange for his life, Eugene's eyes on No. 6 gradually changed from dazed to dependent.

Later he watches Eugene talking to 6.

In front of Number 6, Eugene is always smiling.No. 6, who usually has no expression, will look at Eugene seriously and try to respond to the other's smile.There was something clumsy about that look, but it moved him eerily.

... When Eugene left with No. 6, he once sincerely believed that these two people could achieve happiness.

He looked at Eugene's smiling face in the photo sent back to the Rift on the 6th, and he was convinced of this.

Until that day, Eugene wrote in a message

"I killed him."

No one, including Gao Ge, dared to ask the meaning behind this sentence.

Miles wanted to know what killed the number 6 who seemed to never fall down, but he could roughly guess that Eugene's answer must be himself.

——In front of him, Eugene sorted out his emotions, and said goodbye to him as if nothing happened.

Miles raised his hand and waved it, trying to smile, but the pain in the side of his face prevented him from doing so.

……

After talking with Miles, Eugene stuffed his stomach with some food and finally had time to smoke.

Unlike ordinary starships, the fortress-sized Rift has a dedicated smoking room.Eugene, who hadn't smoked the last time he left, was overjoyed to have a place to ease his growing craving.

The smoking room has transparent glass walls and ventilation facilities that are so good that people want to praise them.

Eugene leaned against a wall, took out the metal cigarette case that never left his body with his left hand, opened the lid of the case with his thumb, lowered his head, and took out a cigarette.

The warm smell on the shredded tobacco overflowed. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the unlit cigarette, and slowly opened his eyes while exhaling.

——A young man who looks like number 6.Anika suddenly appeared.resemble.

Since returning to the Rift, one thing after another happened one after another, leaving him little room to breathe.It was only now that he had calmed down a little bit, and was able to try to clarify his thoughts and actions in the future.

Although it is difficult to accept, the young man named Zane is most likely just an unfortunate coincidence.He didn't want to face that face all the time, but considering the task distribution Myers mentioned, he and this person would only look up and down, and it was impossible to avoid it all the time, so he could only force himself to adapt.

Anika's problem is more difficult.It is conceivable that she must still have many questions about the past, and she needs to make a judgment as soon as possible to decide how much information about the gatekeeper and the inheritance should be revealed to her.On the other hand, he still has doubts about the series of accidents that happened seven years ago, but he doesn't know if he still has the position to investigate. If he really investigates, what is the significance for the present.

As for Shaw...

Shaw is not a problem to be solved.His own attitude and state are the problem.

Eugene raised his left hand and placed it on the forehead where Xiao left a kiss yesterday.

... Facing the hallucinatory touch and residual warmth, and thinking about the decisions he has made, he will feel that his situation is a little dangerous.

Eugene shook his head and reached for the matchbox in his trousers pocket.He has always installed it on the right side, but now he has to use his left hand to hold it, which is still a bit awkward.

The door of the smoking room opened at this moment, and Eugene glanced at it subconsciously, shaking the hand holding the matchbox, and it just fell to the ground.

The muscles at the back of his neck began to stiffen, and he forced himself to look away, bending down to pick up what he had just dropped.Someone picked up the box before him and handed it to him.

He didn't pick it up for a while.

"...Don't you want to see me so much?"

It was a voice that could be heard laughing.

—and No. 6 would never speak to him in such a voice.

Eugene stretched out his hand, and finally looked up at Zane who was smiling in front of him.

……

After witnessing Eugene harming his own talent, Xiao felt a shallow uneasiness at the moment when Eugene did not come back.

He convinced himself that he just wanted to walk around the ship, not really looking for Eugene—but he still walked towards the scene and location where Eugene was most likely to appear.

And now, through a transparent barrier, Xiao is looking at his humans.

With his back against the wall he was facing, Eugene was talking to Zane with his head turned sideways.

He used to be very familiar with Eugene's expression like this.

His brows were slightly frowned, his eyes were somewhat confused and helpless, and before he understood what he wanted, he had already smiled.Obviously need more time to be alone, but still put myself in a situation that I can't deal with.

... This was Eugene's expression when he responded to his past requests.

Their relationship used to start in a scene like this.

He is familiar with the change of Eugene's expression after that - he remembers how the other party's eyes slowly softened, and he let go of the strength of refusal, and was hugged and kissed quietly by him in the dark.

On the other side of the glass wall, Zane smiled and narrowed his eyes while saying something to Eugene.Eugene probably didn't think those sentences were funny, but he still twitched his lips politely.

Then Zane raised two fingers to his lips, as if asking for something.A hesitant look appeared on Eugene's face, but he still stretched out his hand and handed Zane his cigarette case.

A cigarette was handed over to Zane, and the other remained between Eugene's fingers.

Zane took out the metal lighter from his pocket, flipping out a small cluster of flames with his thumb.Eugene brought the smoke closer to his lips, lowered his head slightly, and approached the flame.

The tail of the smoke lit up slowly, and the firelight reflected in the lowered golden eyes, like flowing gold after smelting, with some distant warmth that Xiao couldn't touch.

Zane didn't wait for Eugene to raise his head, and leaned forward in the same posture.The two red dots that were on and off were very close together, like an ambiguous kiss.

Xiao watched Eugene's body visibly stiffen for a moment, then raised his eyes to Zane.

… After seeing that look clearly, Xiao dullly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with his restraint, and it was operating continuously at this moment, suppressing his current emotions back and forth.

Whether it's the previous jealousy or the desire for monopoly, maybe you can find a strange name to bypass the prohibition monitoring.

But now, when he feels heartbroken, even the program that controls his emotions can't find a loophole for him to excuse.

The pain in the left chest will be erased time and time again before it spreads, but it seems that someone is initiating it endlessly. During the time gap when it will be eliminated but not eliminated, Xiao repeatedly feels the sharpest pain .

In this funniest scene, Xiao seemed to understand how hurtful that term he shouldn't have touched was.

——He seems to be watching his beloved and others reenact a repertoire he is familiar with.

However, Zane is so like someone Eugene loved so much, maybe what he got was a dress rehearsal that didn't mean anything.

The author has something to say:

Sorry, I took another stab...

This is really preparing for their showdown... the time for sugar is coming soon (really soon, I can't wait for a countdown), hold on.

Friends who are still alive, please raise your hand, otherwise I am afraid that I will accidentally kill you all...
