Abandoned Lover [Future]

9 month 3 day.

Shu Mo rolled around on the bed with the pillow in his arms, his legs kicked back and forth on the bed, his pajama pants were rolled up, exposing his thin ankles.

Today was the day Mr. Eugene moved in with them!He was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night.This mood is a bit like the eve of a schoolboy's outing, although he has never been able to go out for an outing.

Since being taken in by Sang Qi, Master and Ruth have taken over the roles of loving father and strict mother respectively.But before they became adults, the attitudes of these two people toward him going out were surprisingly consistent——he couldn't go out.Ultraviolet rays are almost a poison to his fragile skin.When he was young, he briefly exposed himself to the sunshine after the rain in early spring, and then he saw his bare/exposed arms quickly turning black, like thin leaves after burning, peeling off one by one.

A child who cannot see light naturally has no playmates. He was locked up by his mother in a dark and narrow room for most of his childhood.When he was a little older, he finally came to Sang Qi's door, and then he learned to build small mechanical toys to keep him company.In the past few years, except for going out to help the other party with some jobs when the master couldn't move his hand, Shan Mo hardly had any contact with outsiders.

It is really the freshest thing that someone can come to live with him like this.Not to mention, the other party was a person whom he admired like sunshine.

In an instant, he straightened up and turned over, while staring at the homemade mechanical clock, counting the time anxiously with his feet.After finally staying up until eleven o'clock in the morning, he quickly changed his clothes and tidied himself up, and rushed to the gate on the first floor.

Coming all the way from the left wing, he saw Mr. Eugene standing at the door with luggage. Under the black short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of wheat-colored arms were slightly exerted, with sharp and slender muscles.He couldn't help but start to imagine how the other party would look like wearing this outfit for training under the scorching sun—the tight fabric was soaked in a large swath, and the sweat that slid from his forehead gathered at the end of his chin, and then fell down and hit his strong chest.

Setsuna seldom has this kind of delusion that implies desire/love. In a daze, he forgets that the sunshade partition in the long hall has not been closed yet.A beam of sunlight coming in from the window hit him squarely, and when he felt the gentle warmth, he looked down at himself belatedly for a moment, and then quickly hid in the shadows.

The skin that was exposed was a little red, but there was no sign of scorched black, nor was there any unbearable stinging pain.He suddenly realized that it seemed that his abominable illness was actually slowly recovering as time passed.

An unimaginable miracle came quietly, like some kind of perfect omen, which made the emotions secretly surging in his chest even louder.

……

The room that Ruth left for Eugene and Xiao was on the right wing. This was because all the windows on the left wing where Setsu lived were sealed and it was not suitable for other people to live in.The spacious bedroom has its own bathroom, and the bed is wide and low, which looks soft and comfortable.

Eugene had just put his luggage on the side of the bed, and before he could straighten up, someone picked up his waist from behind and threw him on the bed.Two pairs of long legs were entangled, Xiao's long hair fell all over his face, and he was kissing him deliberately and carelessly.He raised his arm to block it, and the two of them competed half-truthfully. In the end, Eugene's arm was pulled above his head, and both wrists were tightly clenched by Xiao, becoming the prey who had no room to resist.

Just maintaining such a confrontational posture, Eugene's body began to feel faintly hot.But the timing is not right now. While trying to calm his chaotic breathing, he used his eyes to persuade Xiao not to do ridiculous things: "...lunch is about to come."

The corner of Xiao's mouth twitched: "At night?"

Judging from their frequency in the past few days, this kind of daily program actually does not need to be specially arranged.Eugene turned his head to the side, trying to cover his eyes with his forehead hair, and then whispered back "evening".

... The atmosphere at the lunch table was much warmer than last time, the main reason being that Setsu's emotions were too high.He finished introducing the old story of Sanqi and this house to Eugene, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and simply stood up on the table: "I almost forgot, I just selected the one who went to Shatas City to watch the ceremony Tickets! Do you want to come too?"

"Xiatas...watching the ceremony?" Eugene had a puzzled expression.

"It's the festival of the Fire Spirit Festival! In the past, the people celebrated spontaneously in towns, but because this year marks the [-]th anniversary of the founding of Sagrand, the government specially organized a special festival in the main city and the capital star." The eyes of the moment It seems like a star has fallen: "The residents in the Sagrand system have been uniformly selected, and only those who are selected can bring their family members to go there. The main city closest to the barn star is Xiatas, and it will be very lively then! "

The selection process reminded Eugene of gladiators.He smiled at Setsuna and shook his head: "Sounds very interesting, but there will be a lot of people, right? It will be troublesome to find a place to live, so we won't make trouble."

"No, no, no, this time the government seems to have really spent a lot of money. No matter which planet you go to the main city from, they will provide accommodation and allowances." Setsuna tried hard to sell: "But we only need to enter the venue Coupon, Master has a residence in Xiatas City, which must be better than the residence arranged by the government."

Such a generous move is not in line with Eugene's usual understanding of the Sagrand government. He frowned and said, "Let's think about it."

Immediately after the meal, he was about to drag Eugene to the direction of the workshop. Xiao watched the thin young man talking and laughing enthusiastically with Eugene, while naturally pulling Eugene's arm, his fingers slowly sliding down, and finally Hold Eugene's wrist.

Xiao closed his eyes, let the two walk away, raised his right hand, and pressed on his temple expressionlessly.

Then he came to Ruth's side and showed a gentle smile to the latter: "...Let me clean it up for you."

……

That night, Eugene sat leaning on the bed, using the terminal to retrieve information about this year's Spirit of Fire Festival.What Setsu said was not wrong, the Sagrand government really uncharacteristically arranged festivals in the three main cities and the capital city.For the sake of security, the venue for this event is tightly separated, and it will only be open to guests who have admission tickets.The lottery will be automatically selected among all Sagrand residents, and only the selected ones, a small number of entourages, and alliance visitors can enter the viewing area.However, for Union tourists, the Sagra government will not provide unified accommodation.

Such regulations made Eugene feel a little illogical.Ceremony qualification itself is more attractive than free accommodation, and now the threshold for alliance tourists is much lower than that of locals.A slight uneasiness crept up from behind, and before he could think carefully, Xiao took the terminal from his hand and threw it aside, lowered his head and said to him, "It's night."

The thinking circuit was broken, and Eugene wrapped his arms around the opponent's neck.

Xiao's kiss hurt him a little.

9 month 4 day.

After several hours of continuous humming in the workshop, Eugene finally took off the goggles helplessly.

"Do you really want us to go to Shatas with you that much?"

...it's about the festival of the fire.

Shi Mo looked at Eugene resentfully.If possible, he just wanted to spend the Fire Soul Festival with Eugene, but now that Eugene is bound to a terrible ghost behind him, he can only settle for the next best thing and try hard to accept the existence of the other party.

"Because this is my first time going out to play..." So I really want to create some special memories with you.Thinking about it for a moment, the murmured voice was blurred to a pulp.The movements of Eugene's hands paused, and another question came to mind: "Is your body okay?"

"It's much better. Now it seems that it won't burn when exposed to sunlight." Setsuna rubbed his face in frustration: "I have lived for 20 years, and this is the first time I have such a chance."

Eugene smiled because of such a childish speech, and then suddenly thought of something: "You are only 20 years old this year?"

"Yes." Shi Mo blinked at Eugene: "How old is Mr. Eugene?"

"...a round faster than you."

"You're lying, right?" Being reminded of the age difference, Setsu was so annoyed that he wanted to roll under the table.Eugene looked at this young man whose mental age was only about 12 years old, and couldn't imagine that he ever wanted to do anything to him.

Thinking of the previous mission, Eugene asked Seta a question casually: "You asked a question about me last time, can I ask you too?"

"Say what you say." Setsu climbed out from under the table.

"How did you meet Sanchee? Where are your parents?"

Instantly pursed his lips and shrugged.

"They dumped me. My mum dumped me once, then my dad picked me up and dumped me again."

His sentences were light and airy, as if he was talking about something that was insignificant to him.This narration was completely different from the information he got from Basil, which made Eugene a little confused.

——Setsuna should be Hades' beloved youngest son.

"It's not difficult to understand, right?" Ji Mo's voice didn't fluctuate. "I have always been in poor health and can't do anything. And because of a genetic disease, the doctor always said that I would not live to be an adult. My mother always said that it was because of my problems that my father abandoned us both."

A young single mother took a young and extremely fragile child to and fro on the border of Sagrand, and finally couldn't bear the pressure, and left him on the porch of this house on a winter night.When the five or six-year-old waited for the sun to rise, he was finally able to burn a bunch of happy firewood in the sun.

It's just that Ruth was going out to buy groceries in the early morning, and seeing a thinly dressed child sitting on the steps, he still couldn't help but let him in.

Later, Sanqi returned to the barn star, and found that the little potato picked up by Ruth was a young genius who was born to tinker with gears, and instantly began a life of being called an apprentice but actually an adopted son.It wasn't until he was ten years old that Setsuna's biological father took him back and raised him for two years.

"But then he found out that I was really a waste, so he threw me out again." Sha Mo scratched his hair impatiently: "I haven't figured out what he does until now, he just grabs me all day and says 'You don't look like your brother at all', it's scary..."

Ten years ago, it was the time when the Pluto had an accident and Hades' eldest son died tragically under the Alliance military ship.Eugene checked the timeline in his mind, and felt that Basil's understanding of Setsuna was outrageously wrong.

Holding some subtle guilt, Eugene stopped talking for a moment: "It's my fault, I shouldn't talk about such a disappointing topic."

After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "...Tell me about your plan to go to Shatas in the future."

Instantly opened his eyes wide, and flew towards Eugene.

……

In the kitchen, Xiao lowered his head in front of the sink, helping Ruth prepare for the meal.But cooking was the only thing he didn't do well, let alone his apparent absent-mindedness right now.

Ruth wiped his hands on the apron, hesitated for a while and said, "...I heard from Eugene that you like to read paper books."

Xiao came back to his senses and smiled at Ruth: "Yes. But in this day and age, books are a bit hard to find."

"In this case, you don't have to force yourself to help here, you might as well go to Mr.'s library." Ruth told him the password of the door lock and came out: "Before he died, he liked to collect some miscellaneous books, such as complex books. Engraved Playboy Magazine..." The woman coughed, "Anyway, he stores everything that needs to be kept secret in the computer of the workshop, and you can look through it any way you want in the library."

Xiao thought about it, but didn't refuse.

The library is on the second floor of the right wing.Without using the password, he pushed the door open.

9 month 7 day.

Before dinner, Eugene returned from the workshop to the bedroom, holding a small silver ornament in his hand.Xiao was reading a book on the bed, when he saw him entering the door, he naturally turned his head to look at him.

"what is that?"

Eugene put the ornament on the low cabinet: "A planetarium of barn stars."

Xiao waited for him to continue explaining.

"Shisu made it and gave it to me."

Xiao silently closed the book, then put the book aside expressionlessly.

Eugene found it difficult.Ever since he agreed to go to Xiatas in the blink of an eye, the child has paid more attention to him, and the cuddling has become more intimate.Although Setsuna was no different from a small animal in his own eyes, Xiao's position became very awkward because of this.

Up to now, Xiao Neng has been quietly and patiently, and he has already given himself a lot of face.

Eugene could only walk up to Xiao and sit down: "There's nothing you can do if you don't bring it back, you can't just throw it away."

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, the portrait is pleased, the expression is softer, and the corners of the mouth are slightly twitched.

Eugene rested his head on Xiao's shoulder naturally: "When the Spirit of Fire Festival is over, say goodbye to Ruth and the others, and let's leave."

...He even bypassed Setsuna's name on purpose.

Xiao stretched out his hand to grab Eugene's waist: "Okay."

Eugene turned his head and whispered in his ear: "You have worked hard these few days."

Xiao smiled: "Now that you've said it all, he's just a child."

"It's not just his business." Eugene looked at him: "You don't like living with others, do you?"

Xiao kept smiling, but said nothing.

"I know you're trying hard to interact with Ruth, but you don't have to push yourself that hard. At most, she'll just say you're rude, and that's no big deal." Eugene whispered.

Xiao considered his words: "...I don't hate her."

"I know," Eugene said. "You're just not interested in her."

Xiao's hand on his waist tightened.Eugene's golden eyes were calm: "You're not very interested in human beings except me, are you?"

Shaw turned his gaze to Eugene, as uneasy as he could be.

——Both of them knew very well that the "interest" Eugene mentioned was not attraction in the narrow sense, but the impulse to "feel curious" and "want to interact" in the broadest sense.

Eugene has slowly noticed that Xiao lacks the most fundamental desire to communicate with others.He could perfectly imitate polite manners, but never thought of developing any deep understanding.He may be willing to observe quietly from the perspective of a third party, but he will not take the initiative to establish a relationship.

Regarding this point, Xiao never thought of deliberately concealing it, nor did he know how to conceal it.

"I'll try to change it." After thinking about it, Xiao responded to Eugene with a smile.

Eugene raised his hand and tore off the corners of his mouth with his thumb and forefinger.

"Do not change."

Xiao approached Eugene, lowered his eyes and kissed him on the forehead: "Won't you feel scared? If I don't have any friends, there is only you in the whole world."

"...No." Xiao's movements made him feel very comfortable, and Eugene closed his eyes.

Shaw's sense of alienation is too fundamental, but also too natural.However, this exclusive part took him in gently and formed an absolutely stable encirclement for him.When they were together, it was like a country with only two inhabitants, with a towering city wall erected, and they spent the cold winter and the hot summer peacefully inside.

He doesn't mind being dependent on Xiao.

At night Shaw would sleep with Eugene from behind—their position always.The biochemical man sniffed Eugene's breath, and calmly recalled the scene that appeared in his mind when he looked at the moment.

The human's movements were frozen, and the thin figure was like a damaged image file, which was slowly distorted and covered by messy electronic wires.Then the image collapsed into bytes and codes, and the cursor that appeared out of nowhere receded one by one, emptying the doll's code into a perfect blank.

Perhaps he really couldn't bear too much jealousy, so he was tortured to the end, and he just wanted to erase this human being like deleting data.

Xiao closed his eyes.This is a very strange thing. When Eugene fully accepts his difference from human beings, the warmth he feels always pulls him in the direction of humanity again and again.

So he patiently restored the momentary figure in his mind, allowing this person to get back the outline of the body from a pile of collapsed bytes.

...When Setsuna crosses the line next time, he will imagine killing him in a human way.

The author has something to say:

# Instant Danger#

I don’t know if everyone has noticed that the Xiao here is actually different from the previous Xiao (laughs) before he beat and killed Julian...

I'm a little sorry that I didn't have a perfect double today, I hope 5 is enough.It was really a personal matter that happened suddenly, and the time of coding was dropped by four hours.

Tomorrow, I will try to update as much as possible, and try to run as many plot lines as possible.

Comparing the outline, I probably pulled down the progress of 3 to 4 words. Obviously, it should be finished within 30 words, crying wildly...
