Abandoned Lover [Future]

9 month 1 day.

"Yesterday... I thought you would come."

Setsu was sitting by the workbench, adjusting the design of the energy core on the projected 3D drawings, but muttering such sentences in his mouth.

Eugene, who was sitting opposite him, raised his head, thought for a few seconds, and then realized that he was talking to himself in an instant.

"Sorry, next time I will communicate in advance."

Eugene actually had no reason to apologize.He didn't promise that Setsuna would come every day before, and he was worried whether his visit would disturb the other party, but now it seems that this is not the case.

There were some grunts of unknown meaning from Setsuna, and Eugene guessed that this was probably the unconscious habit of the other party.This made him feel that Setsuna was more like some kind of small animal than a human being, and the exact type was still open to debate.

With a silent laugh, Eugene continued to do the work at hand.The little animal chattered with himself for a while, then suddenly asked him: "...Aren't you... afraid of him?"

Eugene stopped the welding torch in his hand. "You mean Xiao?" He looked at Setsuna, "Why should I be afraid of him?"

Shu Mo locked the blueprint spinning in the air, and looked at him seriously and worriedly: "Do you really know what heritage is? My master always said that they are mobile natural disasters..."

"Xiao is different." Eugene interrupted the other party gently but could not help but refuse. "I can promise."

Such a response did not leave any room for Setsuna to answer, and just as Eugene was about to lower his head, Setsuna's slightly disappointed voice sounded softly.

"I want to know more about Mr. Eugene..."

Eugene raised his head in surprise, and the young craftsman drooped his head in self-concern, as if he didn't realize that he had said what he secretly thought.Sensing Eugene's gaze, he stared blankly at him for a few moments, and immediately his cheeks turned red.

"No, I am, I, please pretend I didn't say it..." Setsuna covered his face with one hand, and stretched out the other hand indiscriminately, waving desperately.

"What do you want to know?" Eugene raised his hand to take off the goggles, his voice was very calm.

The sudden exposure of the golden eyes made Ji Mo confused. While feeling the rapid heartbeat, he faltered and said: "For example, what did Mr. Eugene do in the past..."

……

Setsuna's request was indeed endless, but Eugene didn't mind responding.

Like a third person standing far away, he quickly checked his memories, and then picked out the parts suitable for sharing with Setsuna - his background is meaningless, and the part about being a star thief is not suitable for children listen.The only thing left is his experience in the army and as a technician. Eugene originally wanted to pick the second half, but facing the shining eyes of Ji Mo, he felt that the former story might attract boys of this age, so he withdrew it. A few words about the background of the gatekeeper.

Sure enough, Shu Mo put his hands on the table and leaned out to him excitedly: "Super cool! What is your deployment? Are you an engineer or a general? What do you do?"

"It's similar to the army," Eugene said ambiguously, "it will do some tasks assigned by the higher authorities."

Setsuna then asked about a few tasks related to training, and Eugene picked up the courses of the general military in the non-commissioned officer academy.At the last moment, he suddenly asked him: "Then have you... ever killed anyone?"

Eugene was silent for a moment.

"Killed."

Instantly let out an exclamation of "噫", the whole person flinched, seemed to be afraid, but also seemed to be surprised: "Killed, how many, how many?"

Eugene lowered his eyes: "I don't remember."

This sentence is true.He had tried counting, but then gave up altogether as the numbers rose.He only remembered that he was under 16 years old when he killed someone for the first time, and he wanted to stab the knife in his hand into the opponent's lung, but the blade got stuck in the gap between the ribs.The man's body trembled violently, desperately trying to point the gun at himself.After the chaotic scuffle, he held the handle of the knife with both hands and kicked the opponent's lower abdomen desperately.The stuck knife was finally released, and the blood spattered on his face was warm.

He probably vomited a while after that, but he no longer remembers the pain of vomiting, he only remembers the feeling of the blade cutting through the muscle texture - after all, he has reviewed the latter too many times, and in the end it almost became his daily routine .

"However, it's best not to ask this kind of question casually." Eugene smiled at Setsuna: "People who feel guilty about murder may feel uncomfortable when they hear this kind of question."

Setsuna finally understood how slow his question was, and almost wanted to kneel down and apologize to Eugene.Eugene stopped him: "don't say sorry to me, I'm not that kind of person."

"... Huh?" Setsuna was stunned for a moment, as if he was understanding the meaning of this sentence.The artificial lighting in the workshop was brisk and bright. Mr. Eugene's eyes looked soft at this time, but revealed a strange sense of alienation.

The temperatureless silence lasted for a while, and Mr. Eugene stretched out his hand to him, and gently scratched his head: "...I lied to you."

Instantly heaved a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed like a rodent bathed in sunlight, and smiled at Eugene: "I'll just say it! How could you do such a terrible thing..."

His tone seemed to have vetoed even the fact that Eugene had killed someone, and now he was happy with the fact that he was touched by the other party, while muttering that he would never be fooled again next time.

As for Eugene, who sat across from Setsu, he felt that he was too far away from the other's vivid expression.

——This child is unaware that he was once his "prey".

When he first learned of Setsuna's identity, before he hesitated, Eugene had subconsciously rehearsed the scene of cutting the opponent's carotid artery with a dagger—it had nothing to do with his will, such behavior had become his muscle memory, Difficult to change.And his intolerance to Setsuna reveals a kind of sincere hypocrisy compared to his habit of attacking other people.

Eugene didn't think about it carefully before, but now that he thinks about it, he has already stepped outside the scope of "ordinary people".

……

In the evening, Xiao routinely came to pick up Eugene - as if he knew he couldn't help much, he consciously didn't follow this time.However, when Ruth met him, he held him tight, saying that the beef risotto for dinner was too much, so the two of them must stay and eat together.

Eugene politely refused, with Setsuna's expression on the verge of crying.Eugene turned his head to look at Xiao inquiringly, and the latter sighed silently and nodded.

Sanchi's dining room is so large that only one end of the table that can seat 12 people is filled.Ruth, wearing an apron, served a few people rich risotto and savory onion soup.The conversation at the dinner table was going on slowly, and when the meal was almost finished, Ruth looked at Eugene, then at Setsuna, and suddenly asked Eugene, "Where do you live now?"

Eugene gave the name of the hotel in town.

Ruth patted his apron with a serious expression on his face: "Do you want to consider staying here? Meals for four people are worse than two people. The money you spent in the hotel is worse than giving it to me. The conditions here It’s much better, and I can still provide you with three meals a day.”

As if she was afraid that the two of them would hesitate, she even shook her hands at the ranch behind her, and continued to promote: "It's very convenient to go to the town, didn't you borrow a horse last time?"

Setsuna sat across from Eugene, desperately trying to sell this idea.Eugene could see that the invitation was quite sincere, and he couldn't communicate directly with Xiao right now, so he could only answer that he would consider it after going back tonight.

After dinner, the sun had already set, and the two members of the Sanqi family said goodbye to Eugene and the others.When the door closed, Setsuna couldn't wait to give Ruth a big hug: "You are amazing Ruth!! You are my hero!! I never knew how to tell him, you are really, really amazing It's..."

"I also want to ask you what's the problem. The relationship between the couple is so good, can't you see it?" Ruth patted the back of his head bitterly: "I don't want to match you, I It’s because I feel sorry for Xiao rushing over like this again and again.”

Setsuna revealed an expression of indescribable disappointment: "You like that type... so superficial..."

"Do you want me to throw out all the chestnut cakes in your freezer??"

... The lively conversation was blocked inside the door, and only some extremely small sounds were transmitted into the night.Xiao turned back speechlessly, glanced at the brightly lit house behind him, and tightened the hand holding Eugene.

The slightly cold night wind blew, the two of them were walking on the road, and Eugene's body subconsciously approached the source of warmth around him.

"Do you want to live in?" Eugene asked Shaw.

Xiao let go of Eugene's hand, and put his arm around Eugene's shoulder instead, increasing his contact with him: "... Rusty's suggestion is very reasonable."

"but?"

"But I don't like the way that person looks at you." Xiao's expression didn't change.

Eugene laughed: "You mean Setsuna?"

Xiao didn't speak.

"He's always been alone. It's probably because he finally found someone to talk to. It's just new."

"He likes you." Xiao threw out this sentence bluntly.

Eugene was a little embarrassed, and wanted to explain that this was probably a misunderstanding, but found that he was not qualified to speak for Setsuna.In the end, he thought about it for a while, and simply threw out his conclusion.

"Then let's pretend it never happened."

Xiao suddenly stood still, turned around slightly, and held Eugene in his arms with both hands.The warm breath fell behind Eugene's ear: "As long as I am unhappy, will you accommodate me?"

Eugene tried to struggle between his arms, and found that this guy's strength was really damn strong: "...It's not considered accommodating. This is something that needs to be discussed by two people."

There was some teasing in Xiao's voice, which was a sign of his better mood: "A certain person has learned to discuss with me, and he has made great progress."

"You..." Eugene looked helpless: "What else should I do? Are you here to be jealous?" He sighed: "I originally wanted to say, no matter what Setsu thinks, as long as I don't have that kind of will, that's enough." But you will think that I am speaking for him, and then I will have to coax you again."

Youjin, who was imprisoned in Xiao's arms, looked back at the other party, as if he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, and added: "It's not that I don't want to coax... It's just that it's faster to refuse directly than to make you feel uneasy."

"...This is accommodating." Xiao lowered his head and bit the back of Eugene's neck lightly, and let go of his hand reluctantly: "But I really like you treating me like this."

He kissed Eugene's neck bone, then straightened up neatly: "Move in. It will be more convenient."

Eugene looked at Xiao uncertainly.Xiao smiled at him: "Seeing that you are willing to make concessions for me, I suddenly feel that that human being is not so unbearable."

"Are you a child..." Eugene lost his temper and could only shake his head slightly, "But I wanted to agree at first, and there were other reasons."

"Ok?"

"If you live here, even if you're not in the workshop when I'm helping, you'll be closer." Eugene's voice was a little lower, as if trying to hide the slight embarrassment in his voice.

Xiao looked at Eugene, and suddenly stretched out his hand to him.Eugene froze for a moment, thinking Xiao wanted to hug him.When his arms were wrapped around Xiao's neck, Xiao bent slightly, put his hands on his hips, and hugged him directly.

Eugene, who suddenly left the ground, hastily wrapped his legs around the opponent's waist, and was about to protest Xiao's sudden move, but he heard a faint laughter coming from his chest.

He lowered his head and saw under the moonlight, Xiao Zheng looked up at him.

"I didn't expect you to say such cute words." Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face was brighter than usual, exuding a heart-stopping youthful air. "Kiss me, Eugene."

"You are..."

Saying this, Eugene felt the rising temperature on his cheeks, closed his eyes, and still gave the other party a kiss.

The leaves of the oak trees rustled in the wind, and the pendulum quietly reversed fourteen times when no one was looking.Eugene seems to have returned to his 17-year-old, in the first love, at a loss and sweet like a teenager.

The author has something to say:

kisses!
