Abandoned Lover [Future]

"He said he would not come back, and would continue to choose gladiatorial fights?"

The "female general" Patricia Knowles sat in her high-back chair, watching the projection in front of her, Joshua reported to her with a little frustration.She was nearly half a hundred years old, but she didn't have any sense of age in her appearance. Her long reddish-brown hair was tied up high, set off by her black and silver general uniform, like a flame erupting from a volcano.

"Yes, General." Joshua nodded in the projection.

The female general's expression turned serious.In her opinion, Eugene's choice had no logic at all.

What the hell are you trying to do, Palmer?

"I see, thank you." She cut off the call and leaned back in the chair, the shadow covering her face.

……

The next day of the gladiatorial qualifiers, the results of the group stage of 64 into 32 were announced.

Eugene pinched the terminal in his hand, his face livid.

In the long list that was announced, next to the name Eugene Palmer, Winona Knowles was impressively written.

Joshua also got the news early in the morning, and even cursed in shock when he first saw the list.Not only Eugene, but even Joshua is very familiar with Winona - the general's husband died very early, and the half-human tall girl often followed the general like a follower, stumbling past their training ground.

Of the 63 people after the qualifiers, only one, Eugene, didn't want to face him head-on.What are the odds of hitting exactly this 63 in [-] possibility?What's more, Eugene knew in his heart that the organizer of the wrestling said the government was actually the military, and it would be easy for Mrs. Bei, one of the three generals, to change the list.

"Is she trying to force me to retire?" Eugene smiled, his eyes widened, and the blood vessels on his forehead throbbed, "Didn't she think that I would kill her?"

Joshua stood in front of Eugene, unable to say a word.

Although he was never one of the gatekeepers, he was well aware of Eugene's reputation among the gatekeepers.As famous as Eugene's outstanding combat power is his soft-heartedness - he would rather make a tedious preparation plan than brutally put his comrades in danger, so with him in the mission, the casualty rate can be low to one-third of normal.Would such a person really do something to a girl who had just grown up, who was almost the girl he watched grow up?

The general naturally knew Eugene's characteristics, so at this time she arranged it like this, no matter for Eugene or Novena, there was a kind of extreme, indifferent cruelty.

She assigned the strongest fighting force possible on the field to her daughter, and then forced Eugene to pick up a knife he didn't want to take.

"It's unbelievable." Eugene adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked Joshua, "Where is she?"

"General..."

"Not her, I mean Winona. Is she in school?"

"Yes, at Rhino Bay."

The non-commissioned officer school affiliated to the female generals is in Rhino Bay, which is also where Eugene and Joshua went to school before.Eugene couldn't tell what expression was on his face, and finally picked up his coat and walked directly to the door.

"Are you going to find her? I'll see you..." Joshua followed a few steps forward.

Eugene waved his hands without looking back, and walked into the sunlight outside the door.

Joshua stared blankly at Eugene's back melting into the white light, and suddenly felt a heavy sense of powerlessness all over his body.When his brother Jonathan came back, he was sitting in the living room blankly.

The children of the Rothschild family have always dabbled extensively in the military, political and business circles. Unfortunately, when it came to Jonathan, he devoted himself to science without saying a word, and became a special researcher of the Life Society.Now Jonathan was wearing the researcher's white coat, and while untiing his tie with one hand, he walked to Joshua's side.

"I heard from my servant that there was a very special guest last night."

Joshua didn't speak.

"Is it him? The one who said in the arena that he wanted to give the rights to the cyborgs?"

Joshua finally turned his head and glanced at him: "...Since when did you start caring about this?"

Jonathan snorted through his nose: "It's just pure curiosity. This person's name is clearly not on the cyborg order list of the academy, so why did he come out to be a sensationalist?"

The Life Society is also the maker of the lover model cyborg, and Jonathan who works there will know that the order list is not unusual.It's just the way he spoke made Joshua frowned: "If you don't know the inside story, you can choose to keep your mouth shut. It wasn't Eugene who ordered the biochemical man, but that prodigal son of the Arning family."

"So he's doing charity..." Jonathan showed a sarcastic smile, but stopped in the middle of the sentence: "Wait a minute, you said Arning? Is the person who ordered it called Dietrich Arning? "

Joshua ignored him and went straight to his bedroom.He was going to be on duty in the guards tonight, and he didn't want to waste any time with his elder brother who was wrong.

Jonathan was left alone in the living room, frowning tightly.

……

Eugene really didn't break his promise, Xiao thought so.

When it was half an hour before noon, Eugene went home on time and returned to his side.

Before Xiao realized it, he was already relieved.

"Eugene..." He unconsciously got up from the dining table, only to find that Eugene who entered the door looked very pale.

"I have something to say later." Eugene walked very quickly, without even looking at Xiao, he went straight into the study and locked the door.

In Eugene's study room, there is a huge computer that seems to come from centuries ago.It's not even a projection style, it has a physical host, screen and keyboard, and dense pipelines.

Eugene is not crazy to use such a machine. One of the most important reasons why it is placed here is that it is safe enough.

After turning on the host, Eugene clicked on an icon called "Kornova Tax Refund Assistant" from the lit interface.The dry, uninteresting app pops up, prompting him to fill out this year's tax return.After Eugene quickly filled in his name, tax payment ID, payroll number and other information, the form suddenly disappeared, and a dialog box with white characters on a black background jumped out.

——js: What's the matter?

——js: Any changes to the plan?

- EP: No, I just want to reconfirm when they come

——js: Wait a moment.

Eugene frowned, tapped his knuckles on the desktop for a while, and a line of new messages was finally displayed.

——js: It’s still the old time, and it will take two weeks at the earliest.

If it really takes two weeks... Eugene couldn't help punching the table.With the match against Winona just a week away, the fight seemed inevitable.

When the screen went dark again, Eugene pressed his forehead at the table.

He might really need to go to Rhino Bay once.

……

When Eugene stepped out of the study, Xiao clearly felt the exhaustion in Eugene.

It's just that Eugene never angered others because of his emotions. Now that he walked to Xiao's side and sat down, he just sighed silently: "What did you want to say just now?"

Xiao looked at those beautifully shaped golden brown eyes.He still remembered how those eyes widened slightly, looking at himself standing in front of him in disbelief.His throat seemed to be blocked by something suddenly, Xiao said in a low voice: "Yesterday, I'm sorry."

All night last night, he was seriously thinking about how to apologize to Eugene.It's just that he found bitterly at the end that he had no means to fundamentally compensate Eugene.

Yet he didn't want to give up.

Even if there is no way to become a real lover, he still wants to get closer in that direction as much as possible.Perhaps when he could imitate all acts of love, Eugene would also be tricked by him into feeling the emotion he couldn't.

He was willing to give it his all if it would keep him by Eugene's side.

Please don't give up on me.Please don't give up on me.

——Eugene looked at Xiao's sincere expression, and was a little stunned for a moment.The matter of Winona occupied so much of his attention that he almost forgot what happened yesterday.

Xiao's words accurately brought him back to the moment he didn't want to recall.

The moment when all his luck was shattered.

He laughed dumbly.

But why should Shaw apologize?From the very beginning, Eugene clearly understands what kind of existence a lover model biochemical is, not to mention that Xiao honestly states that he will not fall in love with him every time.It was my own wishful thinking that started unrealistic fantasies, why should I blame others?

But he also didn't want to blame himself.

It is indeed a painful thing to have expectations and then fail, but after repeated thinking, he accepted the feelings he had for Xiao.He likes the biochemical man's eyebrows, smile, eyes that light up when he sees new things, and the touch and posture when he holds hands with himself.

He also liked Xiao's deep voice when he spoke, his gradually tightening arms when holding him, and how he would gently rub his nose like a small animal before kissing himself.

When he fell in love with Xiao like a sinking ship, he didn't gain anything at all.

So after he lost everything in the bet, he still didn't regret his decision to set foot on the arena for Xiao.

This is the last thing he can do for Shaw.

If it is destined not to be together as lovers, at least let him give freedom as a gift to the person he loved before leaving.

——Last night, he had already made a decision, never to relive the fantasy that broke his heart.It's just that in the little time left, he still wanted to be presumptuous one last time.

"no need to say sorry."

In just a split second, the fatigue on Eugene's body faded away, and his whole body exuded a sense of open-mindedness that swept away the haze.Xiao stared blankly at the star-like light in Eugene's eyes, and showed him a never-before-seen, almost eye-catching smile.

Then Eugene stretched out his hand, brought Xiao to his body, closed his eyes, and kissed Xiao's lips.

...something exploded in Xiao's mind.A sense of dizziness that theoretically he could not have swept over him, making his footsteps unsteady, as if stepping on clouds step by step.

If this is not love, then he must be standing on the edge of love.

Thinking of this, Xiao closed his eyes, and repeated Eugene's name reverently and silently in his mind, as if thanking someone for his mercy.
