Abandoned Lover [Future]

Looking at the man with the golden eyes in the distance for a moment, a feeling of uneasy compassion arose in his heart.

... Being able to talk to the humanoid heritage so naturally can only show that this human being does not understand the nature of his "lover".

Should I kindly remind him?While Setsuna was still hesitating, the inheritance named Xiao seemed to notice his eyes, and turned around naturally, showing him a smile.

The black-haired young man suddenly raised his back, like a cat that has been poured with cold water—the warning element in this look was too obvious, which made him instantly dismiss his previous thoughts.The man named Eugene also turned his head, looking at him with a complicated expression.

Instantly felt a little embarrassed.These two people clearly wanted something from him, but he felt that he was hated unconsciously.

... a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, he grabbed his work apron with his hands, and still tried his best to pull a big smile on the other side.It's a pity that he immediately discovered that his smile seemed to have the opposite effect - after Eugene was stunned, he quickly turned his head and looked away.

However, work is work after all, and Su Mo leaned forward with drooping ears to explain the maintenance arrangements to those two.Xiao's left lower arm needs to be replaced with a new one, and it will take about a week to redo the measurement and build the model.Azurite's energy core is not difficult to make, but it needs repeated debugging after installation.

"Adding these two things together, the construction period will take about two weeks. As for the cost," Shu Su took out the terminal from the pocket of the apron and projected a list: "...about this much."

Eugene, who had been avoiding staring at him, stepped forward, read the content carefully, and asked with a frown, "Isn't this written correctly?"

Instantly shrunk his neck subconsciously.He is not used to arguing, and now he is a little nervous: "I, I can explain, because the materials needed..."

"...There is no labor fee, no workshop fee, no mold opening fee, and no insurance." Eugene sighed, "You are just charging us for materials. Why do you do this?"

Seeing Setsuna's surprised expression, Eugene forced himself to look away again, and explained in a low voice: "I'm also a technician, so I probably know what fees should be included in a project."

Setsuna heard the words as if he breathed a sigh of relief, while smiling "hehe", he scratched one side of the cheek with his fingers.

"Because, because this is the first project I have worked on independently." The young man looked a little embarrassed, and his smile was a little silly: "Although I did a lot of work before, everyone is For Master's sake, he is willing to entrust the work to me."

"I am very grateful that you are willing to trust me, so this first project, just treat it as me promoting the brand."

After two seconds, what Setsuna waited for was not a warm thank you, but a smooth "I understand".He hid his frustration and watched the two go out, but before leaving, Eugene turned around and added a few words to him.

"If you change your mind later, you can also tell me."

"You are willing to fix him, and I am very grateful."

As if realizing that his expression was too indifferent, the man with golden eyes hesitated for a moment, and finally tried to show him a smile.

Shu Na stared blankly at that smile for a moment, then nodded belatedly.

... When the two left, Shumo slid down against the pillar, covered his face, and the tips of his ears turned red.

"The eyes are too foul..." There was a gurgling sound from the young man's throat.Perhaps because he cannot directly touch the sun, he has always been unable to resist things that look warm.This was the first time he saw golden pupils, and when the other party laughed, he could even feel the sunlight falling on his skin without causing burning pain.

It's a pity that they fell in love when they met. The other party not only seemed to hate him, but also had a boyfriend who could crush him to death with one hand.

Realizing his depression, he rubbed his face vigorously and shook his head.

"You can do it! Setsuna!" The young man clenched his fists and cheered himself up: "Your body is much better than before!! You will also be a man who can fall in love in the sun in the future!!"

He took a deep breath, patted his apron in an instant, stood up, and walked back to the flank of the workshop with firm eyes.

……

"At Sang Qi's house before, what did you want to tell me?" When the two returned without hiring a carriage, Xiao walked in the afterglow of the setting sun and turned his head to ask Eugene beside him.

"I asked some things from Ruth. She mentioned that Sanchee's health was very bad before, but after taking a medicine a few years ago, it slowly improved." Eugene looked ahead intently. "A period of time before his death, there were no signs of illness at all."

"Sudden death after recovery...it doesn't make much sense."

"Really?" Eugene smiled without a smile. "This development combined with his death condition, I guess he took a modified product of the 'Malicious Blood' back then."

Xiao looked at him.

"Russ doesn't want to tell me how they obtained the medicine, but judging from her previous conversation with the funeral home, this medicine is probably quite popular in the local circle." Eugene's expression became more serious: "I just can't figure out why 'Malevolent Blood' came out the way it did, and who brought it here."

"In my opinion, there are only three possibilities for this matter." Xiao's voice sounded very calm. "Sagron, the Alliance, and the third party. Which one do you think is more likely?"

Eugene especially didn't want to face the question head-on.

——Stolen by the Sagrand government, released by the alliance military, or profited by a completely unrelated third party.

The last possibility is too low, and the first possibility is illogical; after all, if Sagrand has the ability to infiltrate the alliance, what they stole should not be the samples still in testing, but other more legacy of value.Not to mention that between these two regimes, the alliance has the "hermit" Sisong as one of the three generals, and its intelligence warfare capabilities are far superior to those of Sagrand.

Thinking about it this way, there is actually only one option left for him.

"That's why Kiev murdered my team members back then, in order to achieve a certain purpose in Sagrand now." Eugene's back of the head was throbbing with pain, and his body began to feel cold from the center as if he had caught a cold.

"This is just one of the possibilities." Xiao reached out to shake Eugene's hand: "What do you want to do?"

Want to rush back to the green star to question Jiev, and then kill him.Thinking of this, Eugene laughed at himself: "Perhaps this question should be changed to 'what can I do'."

He took out the terminal from his pocket and activated the communication post.

……

The female general's reply letter was delivered during dinner.For Eugene's briefing and questioning, her response was very brief and direct: "There is no turning back. Don't get involved." (There is turning back from here. Don't give up.)

Eugene squeezed the dinner fork in his hand expressionlessly, so hard that the long handle was almost bent.Joshua passed on in a daze during the call, hoping to get a little bit of explanation from Eugene.It was also at this time that Eugene clearly understood what the female general meant.

...He will not tell Joshua about the inheritance, because this is the best protection for the other party, and also because Joshua has no ability to help in this matter.

This is just an objective fact.

Eugene adjusted his breathing, and in the powerlessness that almost overwhelmed him, he made his voice sound like a smile.

"It's not a big deal. It's you, how are you doing recently?"

Joshua yelled out of his rare care, and Eugene suddenly felt a little jealous when he heard this familiar, untroubled voice.

……

After a not so easy dinner, Eugene and Xiao walked side by side in the night of the town.They didn't have a specific destination—Eugene didn't have the leeway to think about it, and Shaw didn't care.

What Xiao cared about was the increasingly heavy aura emanating from Eugene.Even if he knew that Eugene's burden had nothing to do with him, he couldn't just let this man crush him.

After walking aimlessly, the street where they are now is rarely visited by people, and it is full of closed stores.Rows of shops made of white wooden boards have accumulated thick dust, and the colors on the signboards have become blurred after years of abandonment.Even the lonely street lamp on the side was flickering half-deadly, as if it would die completely in the next second.

Eugene was so absorbed in thinking along the way that he didn't pay attention to where he went at all.Therefore, when Xiao Zai suddenly pulled him aside, he was slightly taken aback.

The narrow eaves blocked the light of the moon and street lamps, Xiao pulled him into his arms, and pressed against the window of an abandoned shop.In the dim shadows, he could only vaguely see Xiao bowing his head and smiling at him.

Then the biochemical man stretched out his left hand and touched the doorknob of the shop.Behind the not-so-thick door panel, the old electronic lock gave up struggling and directly opened the way to them.

There is no lighting in the shop, it looks like a dark cave.Eugene was still wondering what Xiao was doing, but Xiao took a few steps forward, his figure almost being swallowed by the thick black.Just a second before Eugene felt uneasy, with the small sound of electricity passing through, his surroundings gradually lit up.

The neon lights seemed to appear out of nowhere one after another, and Eugene was stunned for a moment before realizing that they were signs of old-fashioned desktop game consoles.In the present, which has been sleeping for a long time, these long-forgotten machines are slowly being awakened by people.Vibrant colors appear behind the overly heavy display screen, and the beating light points depict rough shapes. Cheerful characters appear in the field of vision accompanied by simple music, as if expecting someone to start an adventure with them.

In addition to the revived arcade machines, more dazzling signs are gradually lighting up in the middle of the room; colorful pinball machines, SkeeBall with a few indicator lights broken, and even a doll-clamping machine.The cyborg smiled at him, and pointed his finger at the last machine.And the old record player sang the first song after a long time amidst the rustling sound.

"I remember you liking the old-timey stuff."

Xiao patted the ashes on his hands, and walked towards him again.

"If you can't think about it for a while, you might as well take a break."

Xiao approached him and held out his hand to him.

"...Just treat it as our rare date."

Standing in a flash of neon colors, Eugene heard the lively cheers of the machines, as if he had come to an amusement park that belonged only to him.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry I didn't update because of my poor health yesterday.

Tomorrow, we will strive for more 6000+ to make up for yesterday's part.
