Abandoned Lover [Future]

Eugene ends up absent from Joshua's party.

When the latter wanted to come to pick him up, Jonathan stopped him firmly.It was only a few days later that Joshua would know that there was a biochemical person exactly like Xiao beside Eugene.Afterwards, recalling Jonathan's abnormality, Joshua naturally had many questions.

"... Seriously, are you involved in this matter again?"

Facing Joshua's suspicious eyes, Jonathan sat at the dining table and could only shrug his shoulders slightly and cut a piece of cake in a sarcastic way: "Pay attention to the tone of your words with your brother, Joshua."

"Don't tell me that you ordered the cyborg this time." Joshua raised his eyebrows.

"No, that's really not the case." Jonathan replied quickly, and soon realized that this sentence revealed his insider knowledge.However, no matter how much Joshua asked afterwards, he did not reveal the slightest detail.

How else should I say it?The one who ordered the cyborg for Eugene was actually your superior female general herself?Such words can only lead to endless questioning, and Jonathan chose to shut up without hesitation.

——Early after the inheritance was sent to the White Tower, Jonathan felt deeply disturbed by what it had entrusted to him.Regardless of his family background, he is only a pioneer and a researcher in the Life Society.Worried about the consequences that might be unbearable, Jonathan almost suffered from alopecia areata in just a dozen days.After Tiev and Sisong were impeached, the pioneers were almost paralyzed internally, and he didn't even have a superior or partner who could tactfully consult.Under such a disastrous situation, Jonathan ran to Rhino Bay in a broken jar, and confessed Xiao's plan to the female general.

The sense of relief that someone finally shared the burden made him cry like a child in front of General Knowles, the female general patted him on the shoulder, and immediately went up to the White Tower by himself.However, beyond his expectation, she actually brought out the chip with the inheritance will in person, and put it in front of him.

"Let life learn to be the same biochemical person as before, in my name. I will be fully responsible for the possible consequences of this matter, and I don't need to tell Palmer."

Now the military power of the three generals is all managed by the female generals. Facing the No.1 power in the alliance at this time, Jonathan could only open his mouth in vain: "General, after all, this is..."

"Rothschild, I know your scruples." The female general's expression remained unchanged, she took off her black leather gloves and put them on the table. "But it's my final decision, whether you think it's personal or not."

Jonathan looked at her helplessly.

"...All of us owe Eugene a lot." The female general's expression was calm, but her aura was like mountains and rivers. "It's the only thing the league can do for him."

Such a speech was almost like making his own will the representative of the alliance, and Jonathan couldn't help but change his expression.The female general did not miss this change, she looked at him unwaveringly, and continued talking.

"Countless people, including you and me, have been sheltered by him."

"If a government/power is subject to a rigid system and laws, and has always failed those who have dedicated their lives to justice, then it is wrong from the very beginning."

"In my position, I will do everything in my power to correct such wrongs, whether by rewarding those who deserve them or preventing future threats to legacy."

"I don't need you to agree with me, Rothschild. But I don't think my decision was wrong."

Jonathan lowered his head and fell silent.The female general looked at the file in front of her, and softened her expression a little.

"...in Palmer's place, thank you in advance."

Jonathan nodded, put away the chip and walked to the door, then stopped again.

He said, "General, I don't think my character is suitable for a pioneer."

The female general looked up at him.

"If you have a vacant position there, can you consider me?"

The voice sounded a little pathetic.The female general reacted for two seconds, and finally smiled.

……

On the morning of the 24th, Eugene poured all the whiskey left over from yesterday into a coffee cup and stirred it slowly.The hot air with the smell of wine came out, and he took small sips and sipped slowly. When the stay was almost over, someone hugged him from behind and kissed him on the back of his neck.

"Want to drink?" As if feeling itchy, Eugene tilted his head subconsciously, and lifted the glass to Xiao behind him. "But there's only a little left."

The cyborg turned his body around, lowered his head and kissed him.

"...It's a bit bitter. Don't want it."

"Are you a child?" Eugene smiled helplessly and dotingly, his golden eyes glowed with warmth, like amber illuminated by the sun.After a very brief daze, Xiao turned his head and slowly pressed his forehead against Eugene's neck.The soft satin-like long light golden hair poured down, covering the slightly red ear tips of the biochemical man—to this day, his heartbeat would still easily go too fast for this person.

Eugene patted him on the back and said "you are so heavy", but let Xiao hug him tightly.

In the afternoon of this day, Eugene's fingers moved on the terminal for a long time, and finally a certain call was broadcast.He stood on the balcony, and Xiao watched him a few steps behind him.

"...I'm not going home tonight, Deed."

——Family reunions on Christmas Day in the old days are almost a practice practiced throughout the alliance.Even if the relationship with his mother is better than nothing, in the past few years, he still abides by the tradition of showing his face at the Arning Mansion on this day.

Dietrich on the other end of the terminal was silent for a while, and then said: "It's okay, brother."

Eugene thought that the other party would at least show resistance, but now he didn't know how to respond.Seeing that he was silent, Dietrich continued: "...Did something good happen?"

Eugene looked down.He didn't know how Dietrich came to this conclusion, but he could only nod in the end.

"……Um."

Dietrich's long breath was heard next to his ear.After a long silence, Dietrich spoke with a smile, but a little trembling.

"Are you leaving again, brother?"

Eugene gripped the terminal tightly.As if sensing Eugene's hesitation, Dietrich took back his question empathetically.

"It's okay, just pretend I didn't ask."

Eugene took a deep breath slowly: "Thank you all the time, Deed."

Dietrich sniffed, still with some fragile smile in his voice.

"You never have to say thank you to me, brother."

——In Alning's mansion, Dietrich put down the terminal in his hand and looked up at the radiant golden decoration on the high ceiling.

"Happy birthday, Sickert."

The murmured wishes failed to reach the ears of those who wanted to convey them.As Dietrich walked slowly back to the ballroom, Shaw wrapped the scarf around Eugene's neck and walked out the door with Eugene.It was still snowing heavily today, and when Eugene looked up at the sky, Xiao pulled his right hand over and put it in his pocket.

In just a few minutes, the tip of Eugene's nose was a little red from the cold.He buried the lower half of his face in the scarf, his eyes narrowed slightly, like an embarrassed smile.

—the interlocking fingers in the pockets have a childish innocence.The plot he fantasized about when he was a teenager finally became real at this moment after a long, long time lapse.Eugene took a deep breath, mixed with light sadness and real happiness, ironing his chest back and forth.

Winter is good, he thought.

He's really enjoying this season.

... On the street that was getting darker, he and Xiao walked step by step through the snow that no one stepped on.The golden light revealed from the shop window was quiet and serene. They stood in front of the dessert shop window, watching the fondant Santa Claus smiling at them in red, with snow-like icing on his shoulders.Facing such a scene, Eugene closed his eyes in a bit of embarrassment—the moisture in his eye sockets came too suddenly, and he couldn't remember how long it was the last time he was able to look at life so calmly and seriously. details.

When he came back to his senses, the heat source that had been holding his right hand was gone.He hastily raised his head to look left and right, and his suspended heart finally slowly fell when he looked forward.

Xiao Zheng stood on the other side of the shop window and smiled at him.Then the cyborg raised his hand and drew a small love heart for him on the slightly foggy glass.

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

——He is no longer a child who needs comfort, nor is he a teenager who is obsessed with romance.

But, but.

He pressed the corners of his eyes with the heels of his palms, strode into the shop, and walked into the warm halo.

……

The match that was always used to light cigarettes lit the heart of the candle today.A small red candle sank into the middle of the strawberry cream cake, emitting light while slowly melting.

"Make a wish."

In the room without the lights on, Xiao sat on the other side of the candlelight and said this to him.Eugene clasped his hands together and was about to close his eyes when he realized he couldn't immediately think of a suitable wish.

The thing he had pursued for half his life finally landed in his palm, which still makes him unbelievable.If you ask for more, I always feel a little too greedy.When he was hesitating, Xiao had already come behind him and wrapped his hands around him.

"You can make any wish." The cyborg whispered in his ear: "We can spend a long time together to realize it."

Eugene nodded.

He felt Xiao's body temperature behind him, and slowly closed his eyes.

The candle's flame was blown out, but what it carried was no longer a desperate, desperate wish.

At night, Eugene stood by Xiao's side, watching the night outside the window while chatting about future plans.

For most outsiders, Xiao at this time is just an imitation that has nothing to do with the "former".If the current Xiao showed up in front of people who knew the inside story of the inheritance, he always felt a little dangerous.

"Move from Cornova."

Eugene said so.

The cyborg nodded.However, instead of waiting for Eugene's decision as usual, he made an exception and said, "Can you listen to my opinion on where to move?"

Eugene would naturally not object.

...The two of them actually moved out of Cornova a month later.Everyone who got the news came to visit one by one, and said goodbye to Eugene formally.The female general specially delivered a package, which contained a set of mottled gatekeeper combat uniforms and a brand new lieutenant general badge.This kind of gift reminds Eugene of those days that seem to have passed away. When he thanked the female general, his teacher specially reminded him: "I took away your ability, but I didn't take away your price. Before you leave, you need Are you sure about the latter?"

Eugene thought for a while, and rejected the proposal with a smile.In the eight years since he made his wish, he has lived ignorantly and without support, and there is no need to know the arrangement of fate now.

Joshua specially closed the door with the communication whistle, and said to him, do you want to take this back?His expression was a little downcast when he spoke.Eugene pushed his hand back and looked at him with some teasing—you better keep it, after all, I have finally taught you how to use it.

Joshua beamed like some kind of canine from this.

The only thing that surprised Eugene was that Dietrich did not show up in the end.During the call, Dietrich simply asked him, can I see you?Eugene said naturally.Dietrich sounded much happier then, and said to Eugene: I hope you and him are happy, brother.

Of all people, Dietrich was almost on the outermost circle of his life.However, at this moment, Eugene suddenly felt that his brother had seen through him from the beginning to the end.

He and Shaw leave their apartment again.

Last time, they were unlikely lovers who were about to part ways.

This time, they are partners who swear to each other that they will never be separated again.

……

Two years later.

Long Star, Cooper Town, twenty kilometers away from Flintstone City.

"Hello, this is the workshop and flower house Ssuna, how can I help you?"

A girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen was sitting in front of the wooden counter, shaking her legs while talking to someone through the terminal.

"Ah, Mr. Louis, are you here to inquire about the maintenance of the lathe? Yes, this is a trivial matter for our boss."

The girl nodded and recorded something on the side screen with her fingers.The person on the other end of the terminal seemed to say something, and the girl quickly reminded him: "No, no, Mr. Louis, you should arrange it for this month. Maybe you don't know, our workshop is closed in winter. "

The person called Mr. Lewis sounded a little puzzled, and asked inexplicably-why?Changxing has the same weather all year round, even in winter it is very warm, why can't he work?

The girl shrugged: "It's because there is no snow in Changxing, so the little boss will take the boss to other places to see the snow in winter."

Mr. Louis was silent for a while, and finally decided to have the owner of the workshop visit before the end of the month.

After the call ended, the girl jumped off the high chair, stretched her hands forward, and showed a smile on her face.

Her name is Lily Wood and she is 15 years old.Every morning she has classes at grammar school, and then she will come to Ssuna to help. Ssuna is a very interesting place among the local population - half of this simple, spacious and bright brick and wood house is a mechanical workshop, and the other half is a flower shop specializing in roses.As eye-catching as this strange pairing is the strikingly handsome faces of the two managers here.The girls in the town were very distraught when they first arrived, but their enthusiasm turned into lamentation after half a day—the person who was sent out to inquire about the news saw the matching rings on the hands of the two. married lover.

However, this does not hinder their popularity in the town; Mr. Eugene, who is in charge of the workshop, is gentle and serious, no matter how strange the request or commission is, he will not refuse it outright.Mr. Xiao, who works in a flower shop, seems a little distant, but he is very polite and careful, and he can always deal with the customers who come to him in the most appropriate way.The most important thing is that Cooper Town itself is not a very rich place, and the two people who moved here have never treated them differently because of their status as customers.

Mr. Eugene will repair the prosthetic eye for the widowed veteran free of charge, while Mr. Xiao will silently make a beautiful and delicate bouquet for the cash-strapped young lover.Every time something like this happens, Lily, who is a member of Ssuna, feels very proud from the bottom of her heart.

On summer nights two years ago, at the age of 13, she was still a flower seller, crying and running through the streets of Flintstone City, enduring the severe pain in her knees, while chasing and snatching her purse away people.She never thought that the two people who rescued her that night and sent her home would meet her again half a year later.

Compared with living in a casino full of fish and dragons, the current life is as comfortable as heaven.With the support of the two, she finally returned to school, and was able to come to Ssuna to help after entering grammar school.Now she is working hard to become an indispensable member of Ssuna while subsidizing her family.

Jumping on the spot, Lily walked halfway from the counter to the flower house.There, a tall man with long blond hair loosely tied back, a white shirt rolled up at the elbows, and a beige waterproof apron in front of him.He easily moved three barrels of pale pink roses with broken stems to the table, and was talking to the customer in front of him.

Lili routinely sighed with emotion about her boss's appearance, and immediately greeted: "Mr. Xiao, today's sunshine time is up, I'm going to put down the awning in the flower field."

Xiao turned around, smiled at her, and said thank you.After turning his gaze back, he subconsciously pushed the flower buckets in front of him so that they would no longer block his sight.

——Ssuna's window design is very special, the front end is an inverted V shape.The customer's entrance is at the tip of the V shape, the workshop is on the left, and the flower shop is on the right. On both sides of the V are glass windows that give a sweeping view of the shops on both sides. Standing in front of the counter of the flower shop, you can clearly see the scene at the other end of the workshop.

The customers who came to the door this time were quite famous restaurants in Flintstone City, and they would come here every three days to replenish fresh roses.As a regular customer, seeing Xiao's unintentional actions, he naturally teased: "The relationship between the two of you is still so good."

Xiao bowed his head and smiled, and put a label on the flower bucket.

"Won't you get tired of facing each other every day? Occasionally, you need some sense of distance."

Because of the general understanding of the personality of the flower shop owner, the customer actually has no intention of hearing a response.However, the man who never talked much opened his mouth rarely.

"……Won't."

"If he can't see me, he will feel lonely."

"me too."

The customer pursed his lips in surprise, and then showed a teasing expression, ready to push the other person with his elbow: "No, I think it's because you have been looking at the other person, but the other person has never raised your head once?"

The customer said and turned around. Behind him, a black-haired man was standing on the other side of the window, wearing goggles, and was seriously repairing something with his head down.

Xiao didn't argue anymore, but his eyes softened a little, and even the smile on his lips was much gentler than before.The customer was ashamed when he was told, and now he only clicked his tongue while taking the flower bucket off the table and putting it on the mechanical cart beside him.Xiao silently waved at him and sent him out the door.

—He doesn't need to look at me because he knows I've always been here.

Xiao didn't say that.

Even after all this time, his humans still felt uneasy when he was gone.This is a wound he personally left, but he is also willing to maintain this almost too close sense of distance.They are two sides of one body of symbiosis, and they can only live fully by each other's side.

As if aware of his gaze, the man who had been working with his head down finally raised his head, put down the tools in his hand, and moved the goggles to his forehead.Eugene's eyes were slightly reddened by the goggles, but those golden eyes were still stunningly beautiful.

Eugene smiled at him.

Compared with when they first met, Eugene, who will be 34 years old, has not changed in appearance, but his temperament has become more gentle.Xiao found out the photo of Eugene when he was a teenager that was treasured by him one day, and was a little surprised to find that Eugene now has eyes that are more similar to those of more than ten years ago.

Soft, attached, as if not yet stabbed by this world.

This is the best compliment he can imagine.

…The evening in Cooper Town is coming. After taking care of the flower fields, Lily said goodbye to Eugene and Xiao respectively, and was going to go back to her home in Flintstone City by car.Xiao put the cut flowers into the refrigerator, and put away the tools and cut branches on the table.He confirmed the situation in the flower field for the last time on the screen, dimmed the lights in the store, and untied the apron on his body and folded it up again.

Then he bent down and took out a simple bouquet of flowers from under the counter.

——Eugene, what is your ideal life like?Not considering the past, nor considering the reality, it is pure ideal.

Xiao took the bouquet in his hand and walked slowly towards the workshop.

——I want to live in a place where I can see the scenery and have good sunshine.

Behind the brick and wood buildings, the setting sun is painting the town of Cooper in the valley with beautiful colors.In this year-round green mountain, the sun will visit vigorously almost every day.

—I still want to be a technician.Do something you love, but don't work overtime...

In the workshop, Eugene twisted his neck left and right, took off his goggles, and put his heavy-duty gloves aside.He looked at the numbers on the corner of the projection screen, and the time on it was six o'clock every day.

——When I get home after work, I can have time to cook a meal.

The lover who came towards him hugged him, leaving a light kiss on his lips.Eugene turned around and turned off all the power supplies in the workshop, and walked side by side with Xiao to the residence on the upper floor of the shop.There, he would prepare tonight's dinner for himself and Shaw, and Shaw would set the plate early and put the bouquet of his choice into the vase on the table.Then Shaw would come to him, trying again in vain to learn how to cook.He would look at Xiao with a smile.They will lean shoulder to shoulder, kiss naturally in the middle of the chat, and then pick up the unfinished topic naturally.

Their dining table looks a little narrow.They always sit on the two sides closest to each other without any hesitation.It is the same today.

——Before going to bed at night, I can have time to watch movies and drink some wine.

After dinner, Shaw put the dishes in the washing machine, while Eugene walked to their liquor cabinet, lost in thought briefly.When he chose malt whiskey again, Shaw handed him two long-mouthed short glasses that had been frozen.

Tonight's selection is called Red Redemption, and this is the third time they watched it together.Eugene liked the film so much that he even named himself after it.

Shaw also liked the film.He loved everything that made Eugene happy.

——I think my ideal is similar to yours.Don't you consider living with me?

Xiao carefully watched the movie in front of him, and also carefully felt the slowing down of the breathing of the people around him.Time passed by, and while Eugene leaned his head heavily on his shoulder, he steadily took over the cup that was about to tip over in the opponent's hand.

——I will clean the room and wait for you to come home.If you like to cook, I can try to grow something for you in the garden.

In the movie, the cowboy Eugene avenges blood in the final duel. In real life, Eugene also got up from the sofa and turned off the projection in front of him.He walked towards his and Xiao's bedroom, and fell between the sheets Xiao Gang changed.The washed beds carried the fragrance of fresh grass and trees, and Xiao who pressed up from behind him carried the fragrance of roses.

——I want to know your favorite movies, and I want to travel with you.

The night is lingering, like the desire and kiss between lovers.The lighting in the bedroom is dim and soft, casting overlapping and stretching shadows on the floor.

——Maybe I will find other hobbies, and then I will invite you to join me.

In the living room with the lights off, the night settled in front of a wall illuminated by moonlight.The photos on this wall record two seasons and carry many smiling faces.In the middle of all the photos, the dark-haired man is hugged by the blond man. They kiss in the sunset, and the golden thread of the ring shines between their fingers.

——So take me and work hard towards your ideal, Eugene?

... This is the story of Eugene and Shaw.

They are the most ordinary and happiest couple in the world.

The author has something to say:

Thank you so much for your continued support.
