void engagement [interstellar]

Ye Xuanhe was already taken aback before the expedition.

He didn't expect the little guy to be so mobile, he ran back without telling himself when he got angry.

It's not a good habit to go back to your mother's house when there is an awkward situation, and you can't condone it.His Royal Highness thought to himself.

But everyone has already arrived at the door of their own house, and it is too late to say anything now.

She was leaving the next morning, and it would take two months at least. Ye Xuanhe was worried, and wanted to tell him a few more words.

As a result, the little guy hung up the communication immediately after yelling at him, and he couldn't get through when he called again. When he called again later, he simply reminded the user that he was busy, which must have blocked him.

The gas is quite big.

Ye Xuanhe knew that what he said was too much and hurtful, and he didn't really think Edie was useless, but for the sake of the other party's personal safety, he said it after all.

Hey, it's better to coax him.

While getting ready to go, His Royal Highness silently took out the letter paper and wrote a letter to his little fiancé.

If he refuses to accept the communication, I believe he can't refuse to accept it.

When Edie got home, the afternoon was still in progress, and neither father nor brother had returned from work.

Mr. Beta Housekeeper received the news in advance and came out with a few servants to greet him.

The German Shepherd Su Xiaotian is more active than humans. He heard the movement long ago, ran from his room to the gate and squatted to wait, posing in a particularly handsome pose.However, he was handsome for less than three seconds. When Edie got off the suspension vehicle, it pounced on it immediately, wagging its tail and circling wildly around the little master, hitting him with its big head, without any image.

Edie bent down and reached out to touch its dog's head, and the big dog immediately licked his saliva.

"Why do I feel like it has lost weight?" Edie said to Mr. Housekeeper, rubbing the big dog's thick fur.

"It's better to be thinner, healthy, and less likely to get sick. It turned out to be a bit too fat." Butler Beta smiled gently, but there was some compassion in his heart.

In the era of the big universe, the average life expectancy of human beings has been greatly improved, but animals such as dogs have not.Su Xiaotian has been with Edi since he was very young, and now he is in his teens, equivalent to an old man in his twilight years. Recently, his food intake has started to decrease significantly, and he may not have many days to live.

The little master is too emotional, and if he knows, he will probably cry again, but Mr. Housekeeper didn't tell him the truth.

Edie thanked the driver who brought him back, and entered the house with the housekeeper and servants.Su Xiaotian followed beside him, wagging his tail and stumbling over him while walking.

It hasn't been too long since he left home to live in the palace, and the layout of the home has been artificially maintained as it was when he was there. Except for the seasonal changes of vegetation, it looks almost the same as before he left.

Butler Beta followed him into the room, and said with a smile: "Just now, I have packed the things I will use for this trip according to the list made by the young master. Should the young master check the equipment now or rest for a while?"

Edie shook her head: "I don't want to rest, let's see what my brother has prepared."

Traveling to a war-torn planet is naturally different from visiting a palace as a guest.

According to Josiah's list, Mr. Butler and the servants prepared a lot of light and warm clothes for Edie, abundant food, medicine and drinking water, advanced energy storage converters... as well as self-defense weapons and ammunition and various wild survival tools Wait, wait, wait, the storage room is full.

Not to mention just going with the army for two months, or going alone for two years is enough.

Calling Nanfeng out, Edie asked someone to put all the supplies into the physical storage space of the robot.

When Josiah hurried home, he saw his younger brother sitting quietly on the swing in the yard, looking up at the direction of the gate.

"Brother, brother!" Seeing him appear, the young man immediately showed a big smile, got up and rushed towards him.

In late autumn and early winter, the air towards evening is icy cold.When Josiah walked a few steps quickly and reached out to catch his younger brother, he instantly felt the slightest chill on his body.

"It's so cold outside, why isn't the baby waiting inside?" Josiah hugged his brother into his arms.

"This is the fastest way to see brother." Edie smiled sweetly at him with her face up.

"Baby." Josiah hugged him, and couldn't help tightening his arms, "Come on, let's go into the house."

After half pushing and half hugging, Edie felt the cold coming after her brother brought her to the warm and bright living room.

He rolled onto the sofa, rolled into a ball, buried his face in the pillow and rubbed back and forth, muttering "It's so cold, so cold, why is it so cold".

Josiah couldn't see it, so he hugged him and put him on his lap, he took a breath of heat and rubbed his palms together, and then put his palms on his younger brother's face.

Alpha's hands are warm and scorching, emitting a steady stream of heat, like a small natural heater.Edie was gradually warmed up, and her hands and feet were stretched out, without the shy-headed look just now.He was happy again, and went to toss his brother's hair leisurely.

Josiah's curly and beautiful blond hair was messed up, but he was not angry at all, he just gave a sideways look with a straight face on purpose, and said, "Little thing."

Edie grinned at him and continued to tug at his hair up and down, only to accidentally tear a few strands off.

"Yeah." He stopped, holding those hairs in the air, staring at his brother's expression motionlessly.

"Little bastard." Josiah pinched his younger brother's face lightly, "Your face is still in my hands, and you still dare to provoke me."

"Oh~ I'm scared to death~" Edie threw her hair on her brother's face, spread her limbs and pretended to be dead on the sofa, and couldn't help opening one eye to observe Josiah's reaction.

Then the two laughed together.

If there is no accident, the baby will leave the imperial capital tomorrow and go to that distant little planet.

Josiah actually had a lot to say to him.

I want to tell him about the dangers of Snow Star, I want to stop his journey, I want to tell him not to like His Royal Highness, I want to confess my feelings to him...

However, everything has not yet been exported, and it stops at the word "unknown".

For oneself, and for the fate of the family.

In the end, he just took out a chip from his close pocket and handed it to Edie as if nothing had happened.

"Baby, here are some information collected by my brother. You can take a look on the road tomorrow. I also sent a copy to the fourth brother. If you don't want to read it yourself, ask the fourth brother to tell you."

Josiah didn't mention Snow Star and tomorrow's affairs anymore, and concentrated on playing around with Edie.

The marshal hadn't come back yet, and Edie played with his brother for a while, and suddenly thought of cooking dinner for his father and brother by himself.

Josiah naturally trusted and supported his younger brother's decision, so he let him do it with confidence, and watched by himself.

His gaze was focused and gentle, lovingly depicting the boy's every frown, smile, and every move, as if he wanted to engrave the whole person in his mind.

On the contrary, he didn't care about what ingredients his younger brother took to make food.

On the contrary, Mr. Housekeeper heard that Edie was going to cook, so he ran to the kitchen and followed behind, staring at the materials and semi-finished products in his hands the whole time.

He has seen the young master's cooking skills before, more than once, and he really has a talent for dark cooking.

But this time Edie was very self-aware.

Based on the level of his cooking class assessment that Ludwig's sweetheart had to put water to pass, he decisively gave up the complicated dishes and directly chose the dessert baking that he is most familiar with and has the highest success rate in the past.

According to the ingredients in the kitchen, Edie baked some cookies, chiffon cakes and meringue tarts.

Although I was in a hurry after not cooking for a while, and the biscuits and cakes looked a little ugly, but there was no accident at all. Edie tasted it herself, and the taste of the finished product was not bad.

Mr. Butler, who had been following the onlookers, was stuffed with an egg tart. Seeing him put the plate away and turn off the oven, he was finally relieved.

The sun was setting on the western mountain, and the twilight was all together. The marshal finally finished his work and returned home from the military headquarters.

Edie ran out to meet him, followed by the whining Su Xiaotian.

"Daddy!" Edie called out happily.

"Baby." A smile appeared on the marshal's slightly tired face.

"Dad, come quickly, let's eat!"

"En." Although the marshal didn't know why his son had such an expectant expression, he agreed and patted his head.

Dinner was great.Edie waited for the maid to finish serving, then ran to bring the dessert she had put away.

"Father, brother, try my handicraft~"

Edie feels good about herself and waits to be praised, only to see her dad stop eating a cookie, and neither does her brother.

"Isn't it delicious?" Edie stared at her father and brother with wide eyes, "I think it's not bad..."

"No, it's delicious." The marshal rubbed his son's head, "When the baby is gone for a few months, save these and eat slowly."

Edie was fine at first, but when she heard this sentence, tears came down immediately.

He turned around and hugged the Marshal's waist, buried his face in his father's arms, and said sullenly, "Otherwise, I won't go."

"Go." The marshal patted him on the back lightly, "Didn't we all discuss it with Ah Si? You must keep your word."

The next morning, Marshal and Josiah sent Edie to the agreed third port.

The parting moment that both Josiah and Edie had been avoiding the night before finally arrived.

Edie wanted to reassure his father and brother, but he couldn't help it. Before he could say a few words, tears kept falling like broken beads.

Standing beside him, Ling Si looked at his crying little brother, feeling helpless and heartbroken. Finally, he took his hand and turned around to get on the spaceship.

Josiah stood at the pier of the third port, watching his younger brother who was still weeping being dragged onto the spaceship by the fourth brother, the hatch was closed, and the spaceship started with a rumbling sound.

There are people coming and going around, crying and laughing, but he can't laugh, and he doesn't want to cry.

He just felt like an oyster who spent years honing a single pearl, and now that pearl had been plucked to be placed on a matching ornate crown, he was left with only a dim Empty shell, sunk in the silt at the bottom of the river.

The spaceship slowly sailed away from the capital of the empire, the planet with homes and relatives, gradually became smaller and blurred in the field of vision, and merged into billions of stars, becoming an inconspicuous one among them.

At this time, neither Edie, who was depressed, nor Ling Si, who comforted him, expected that what awaited them would be a voyage with no return.
