Abandoned Lover [Future]

Xiao closed his eyes and propped his forehead with the heel of his right hand, feeling that the part from his chest to his neck was about to start getting hot again.Eugene put his hand on his shoulder, and his expression changed instantly when he felt the transmitted temperature.Shu Mo looked at Xiao, then looked at the blue crystal he was facing, thought for two seconds in a daze, and then greeted Xiao: "Yi...Mr. Xiao, please come here!"

There are several charging valves with different powers in the workshop, and now one of them is activated in an instant, and it is connected to the energy line.The state of tinnitus and the sudden hallucination made Xiao feel anxious that he lost control. He didn't argue with Setsuna, and directly exposed the interface on the back of his waist.

The silver energy line connected Xiao and the charging valve, and he raised his hand in an instant, and adjusted the power to the maximum.Eugene watched the number on it getting higher and higher, and wanted to reach out to stop Setsuna, but Xiao's condition improved visibly.

"It's not overheating now, right?" Shu Mo clapped his hands, showing a reassuring expression: "It will be fine in a few minutes, and this problem is actually not difficult to solve."

Eugene looked at him gravely.

Shu Mo thought about how to tell the other party the details without mentioning the inheritance, Xiao who was sitting on the side spoke first: "...don't hide it from him, he knows it all."

"Hey!" Changsha was surprised this time.Did Mr. Eugene know the true identity of the legacy?

"...What do you mean?" Mr. Eugene looked as puzzled as he was.

"Setsuna knows about the inheritance."

There was an eerie, heavy silence.The corners of Mr. Eugene's mouth were pulled into a straight line.

Set up a haha: "It's because of my master that I have the chance to hear about it... Ah, why don't you go back to the place I just wanted to talk about?" The topic was changed: "Mr. Xiao has a very powerful chip, isn't it? It should have been charged by the blue crystal before, so as soon as you get close to the blue crystal, the potential of the chip seems to be more awakened."

"But because his current body can't handle the increased amount of information and energy requirements, the core will soon be overloaded and enter a state of exhaustion." Setsuna's expression was very serious, and he raised a finger as a lecturer: " But the solution is also very simple, as long as you desperately replenish energy and wait. After all, the chip also knows that the body is the basis for its own operation, and it will not keep the body in an overloaded state."

"So you see, it's not a big problem..." After finishing the small lecture, Shu Su shyly withdrew his hand, and found that the air in the workshop hadn't become more relaxed.

"He'd better change to another body, right?" Eugene, who is also a technician, quickly came to the same conclusion as Setsuna.

Shu Mo opened his mouth, although he didn't make a sound in the end, it already represented his attitude.

"In your opinion, what is the utilization rate of the current chip?" Eugene's expression was calm, but he felt the pressure from the bottom of his heart.

"Three percent..." was the most, but at the same time, he saw the look in the eyes of the humanoid legacy from behind Eugene, and instantly added "ten" to it.

"I see, thank you." Mr. Eugene smiled politely at him, but Shi Mo didn't even dare to feel happy.

In the following time, the poor young craftsman tried his best to stir up the atmosphere, introduced the next plan in a high tone, and asked Eugene to look at the blueprint he had designed.Eugene always responded appropriately, and affirmed his opinions intimately and professionally, but he could feel the other party's absent-mindedness for a moment.

"How about we continue another day?" He looked at Youjin anxiously, maybe because he was still young, he was not a person who could calmly deal with this kind of atmosphere.

Mr. Eugene looked at him, and then nodded when Setsu thought that the other party was going to decline.

Putting on the hat obediently, Setsu sent the two of them out again.

This time, there was an arm's length between the gradually walking away humanoid heritage and Mr. Eugene.

A fresh pine cone had fallen on the porch, as if it had been picked up by a nearby bird.Shu Na looked down and said, "...Autumn is coming soon."

He raised his foot and gently kicked the pine cone away.

Turning around, he closed the door, and walked step by step back to the brightly lit, but extremely quiet and lonely workshop.

"Tomorrow...Mr. Eugene probably won't come."

Thinking about it in a moment, he suddenly regretted not picking up the pine cone.

Pine cones that have been in the sun for a day should be very warm when held in your hands.

……

8 month 30 day.

Mr. Eugene is here!

And without that super scary humanoid legacy!

Today is going to be a super fun day!

Shu Mo circling these few lines of words in his mind, he took the cardboard box handed to him by the angel in a daze, and took a look inside.

—is his favorite chestnut cake.He can't help eating this when he stays up late at work.

"When I came here yesterday, I saw a lot of these cartons piled up next to the workbench. After I went back, I found out that the cake shop selling these is next to our hotel." Eugene smiled at him, and then confirmed: "Hope You haven't gotten tired of it yet."

How can I get tired of eating, I still have fifteen in my refrigerator.Thinking of this, Shu Mo touched the top of the carton like a small animal, his eyes were almost full of love - this is a cake touched by an angel, and it is different from its companions, it needs to be placed in the last place in the refrigerator. The upper floors are well preserved.

Without the humanoid heritage, Setsuna could easily monopolize Eugene's attention.After the two sat down in the workshop, Eugene rolled up his sleeves and put on the same work apron as him.

...Is this a couple outfit?Setsu almost ran into his own delusions again and couldn't get out.He tapped his head to focus on what he should be doing.

The young craftsman took out a few small parts and tools from the side, and handed them to Eugene: "Yesterday I printed out the knuckles of my left hand, and I need to assemble them and do a little welding. Before you take these, the rest Let’s practice with the parts and get familiar with the tools on my side.”

Eugene nodded and pulled goggles over his eyes.When he lowered his head, Shu Mo looked at him looking at his hand, carefully took off the ring on his left hand, put it in his breast pocket, and pressed it subconsciously.

……

Eugene finished much faster than he expected.

Setsuna only needs to take a look at the finished product to know that Eugene's previous remarks about stunt technicians were not exaggerated.The spliced ​​parts are extremely flexible, and only by looking very carefully can we find the traces of welding.

This kind of accuracy and speed is not something that veterans can't do at all. Setsumo confidently took out only one copy of the parts and handed them over.Eugene looked at those tiny silver parts, and suddenly asked him: "... Has the size of his fingers been modified?"

Setsuna didn't know why he asked such a question, but he still answered: "It will be exactly the same as before."

Eugene looked relieved, straightened his goggles, and continued the action.

This time Eugene did it very slowly.

For a moment, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing, and watched the man hold his breath, slowly but delicately connecting the small finger bones with the parts that moved them.The air around the other person seemed to condense, and the person's concentrated attention almost seemed to materialize.

The goggles covered Eugene's eyes, but Setsuna could easily imagine the focused expression of the other party looking at the parts in his hand.The man moves so lightly, so carefully, as if holding something precious and priceless.

Setsuna lowered his hands and watched the other party complete the process without saying a word.When the last fiber landed safely where it was supposed to go, Shi suddenly heard the other party's breathing again.

Eugene took off the goggles and smiled at him: "Sorry, my hands are a little raw."

Looking at him fixedly for a moment, he said almost nonchalantly, "You really like Mr. Xiao."

Eugene froze for a moment, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't seem to find anything to say.In the end, he could only look down at the innocently shining parts on the table, while showing a self-deprecating smile, he nodded resignedly.

... He was clearly holding the cold metal in his hand, but he was imagining Xiao Nuan's palm.

The parts he assembled by himself will become a part of Xiao's body.Thinking of this, he felt a strange sense of destiny besides the fear—a sense of destiny that was full of incompleteness but dragged him close, and that he could not escape.

Eugene still smiled, put down the tool in his hand, raised his hand and pressed it on his face.

Facing that expression, Setsuna let what he wanted to say come out without thinking.

"Why do you have such a sad expression?"

He stared at Eugene intently.

"He didn't come today, did you quarrel?"

Eugene froze for a moment.The kid really didn't know when to ask what questions, and his intuition was frighteningly accurate.

He didn't know if it was a quarrel, but he did escape to Setsuna.

...After coming to the workshop yesterday, the atmosphere between him and Xiao became a little weird.Xiao obviously didn't want to mention the topic of changing the airframe, he seemed to mention it a few times casually, and the two finally faced this issue head-on this morning.

"Since it is said that the body is going to be replaced, what kind of replacement should it be?" Xiao smiled at him, but his body was overflowing with rare coercion aimed at him: "You should know better than me, I am already a cyborg. It is the most advanced model, and if I continue to modify it, I will only become more and more out of human form."

Eugene was not used to Xiao's attitude, so he sat on the side with a frown, turning his head away from him: "That's not the point, you shouldn't..."

"I shouldn't be in this body. Because, as you say, I am a legacy." Xiao stared at him, as if forcing him to give an answer that he didn't want to admit: "But it has something to do with us." What direct relationship? I just want to be by your side in this state."

Eugene still wanted to explain, but Xiao directly interrupted him: "Have you really thought it through? If the body that is most suitable for me has no face, no body temperature, and no place that is the same as now, you will still use the same attitude treat me?"

"I didn't say such an extreme situation, just some changes..."

"To what extent is it appropriate to change?" Xiao did not back down. "How do you judge, what is my 'should be like'?"

"I don't know." Eugene finally looked up at him as if he couldn't bear it anymore: "I don't even know why you are so angry."

Xiao lowered his head, his chest heaved silently a few times, and finally restrained the aura he was exuding.

"...you can decide a lot about me, Eugene. But not this one."

"If you start changing my body, I don't know where to start, you will feel that I am not someone you know."

"Imagine. If I wasn't in human form, if I couldn't smile at you, kiss you, hug you like I do now, would you really accept me?"

"I'm not doubting your feelings for me. But for me, if there is a possibility of being alienated by you, I don't want to take even the slightest risk."

"So please don't decide on your own how I should live."

Xiao said these words in one go, calmed down slowly, and looked at Eugene calmly.

And Eugene looked tired.

"...Maybe I made a mistake."

"From a rational point of view, changing the body is tantamount to waking up more of the legacy, which is not necessarily a good thing for you and me."

"I just thought, if your consciousness... comes from that chip, the more parts you wake up, the closer you will be to your original self."

"But if you think about it carefully, this matter may actually mean nothing."

"……Feel sorry."

Eugene stood up and patted Xiao on the shoulder, walked past him, and stepped out of the room.

The tacit understanding between him and Xiao was so weird that when he wanted to run away alone, Xiao really didn't chase after him.

……

Back at Setsuna's workshop, Eugene shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's not a big deal. It's me... who said the wrong thing."

How strange.When he left, he would feel hurt because of Xiao's incomprehension. Now that he thought about it, Xiao was thinking of him.

Two people who are obviously on the other side's starting point, can they actually have a dispute?

... He is still unfamiliar with this kind of interaction, but at the same time, he also feels a kind of helpless and bitter dependence.

Setsuna didn't know how to deal with such a conversation, so he could only change the subject, chatting about the progress and plans in the future, and discussing the blueprint of the energy core with Eugene.

After a short time, Ruth suddenly pushed open the isolation door and popped out.

"Xiao came, and he waited in the long hall, as if waiting for Eugene to pass."

Shu Mo saw Eugene suddenly raised his head, his expression became defenseless for a moment, as if he had changed from an adult to a child.

He accompanied Eugene to the long hall.

From a distance, Shu Mo saw that figure standing at the door, with his hands in his pockets, his long hair tied up, and he looked taller and taller than usual.

Then the young man subconsciously turned his head to look at Eugene.

If this is a romantic movie, these two people should look at each other, and then go faster and faster, faster and faster, until they run away, and then hug each other tightly

Eugene's footsteps stopped for a moment, but he just clenched his fists, and then walked towards the person step by step with a calm expression.

Shaw watched him approach.

"Why are you here?" Eugene raised his head.

"I'll take you home." Xiao's expression was very gentle, with a slight tiredness in his brows and eyes, but it made him look more human.

What kind of home do they have here?But Eugene didn't have any resistance to such words and descriptions, and just nodded wordlessly.

Xiao took his hand out of his pocket, and naturally grabbed Eugene's hand without paying attention to the eyes of the two bystanders around him.The latter seemed to have been reminded of something, took out the ring that he had taken off earlier from his pocket, and lowered his head to put it on.When he raised his head, Xiao frowned slightly. Although he was smiling, it revealed a sense of resignation that he didn't know what to do with him.

Today's homework was finished, and the two of them chatted with Russ and Setsuna for a while, and then they bid farewell.

The moment the door closed, Setsu realized that he seemed to have been watching Eugene leave all along.

—The Humanoid Legacy held Eugene's hand, and Eugene looked sideways at him, not even smiling, just watching.

However, Setsuna saw many emotions in those eyes that he could not describe.

Mr. Eugene...will become someone else in front of that person.

I'm so envious.

So jealous.

Setsu sniffed, ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.He looked at the cake on the top shelf of the refrigerator, thinking silently that he must find someone to fall in love with before the winter weather turns cold.

"I also want to hold hands warmly..."

——I want to be looked at by those eyes too.

The thin young man raised his hand and clasped his two hands together. After watching silently for a long time, he slowly let go.

……

On the way home, Xiao felt the warmth of his hands, and finally opened his mouth slowly.

"Eugene."

Eugene didn't respond, but Shaw knew Eugene was listening to him.

"I don't want to know the truth about myself, and I don't want to find answers."

"I have no interest in 'what I should be' or 'what I can do'."

"For me, my most important identity is just a cyborg next to Eugene Palmer."

"Please don't... treat me like a legacy."

"Please."

The biochemical man stopped, turned around, and looked at his lover with the most earnest eyes.

Eugene looked at him, breathing became more and more obvious, and finally raised his hand, wrapping Xiao's neck in his arms.

"You are not an inheritance..."

His voice was hoarse.

"...you are just my Xiao."
