Cannon fodder dressed as a disabled marshal

Clarice was dealt with, and the charity celebration continued.

This incident caused the popularity of "Serenade" to rise again. Shen Qiran's revenue ranking rose rapidly, and by the end of the event, it stopped at No.6.Someone has calculated the number of downloads of "Serenade". If the price of this song is 2 stars higher, then Mr. R will definitely occupy the first place in the final ranking.

According to tradition, the top ten income rankings of charity celebrations will be rewarded by the organizers.This year's sponsors are the Royal Family and the Military Department. The award ceremony was presided over by His Highness the Third Prince Isaiah and Marshal Shao Xing of the Military Department. The entire process of the award ceremony was broadcast live. The number of online viewers on that day exceeded [-] million, breaking the highest record in previous years.

Every newcomer on the podium is full of spirits. The attention and influence of this year's celebration are better than those of the previous ones. They have made their mark here, and their careers in the future will certainly be very smooth.

Regrettably, the much-anticipated Mr. R did not show up.Because of Shen Qiran's instructions, the few teachers and students of Moria College who knew his identity kept silent, so Mr. R's identity was completely a mystery to the public.

Although Mr. R was not present, when it was his turn to accept the award, the third prince Isaiah still read out his award speech——

"A serenade makes the sleepless night no longer lonely, and makes people who dream of music discover a new dawn. Because of you, we see the second possibility of music. The new door of the music hall has opened, and you are the one who leads the way." lamp bearer."

When the spotlight fell on the unclaimed trophy, the audience gave the warmest applause, and the bullet screens on Starnet also covered everyone's screens.

——Thank you for bringing us such good music, Mr. R.

Shao residence at night.

"Are you really not sorry?"

Videos of the awards ceremony during the day were played back on the TV in the living room, and Shao Xing looked at the people around him.

"I got the trophy too." Shen Qiran was holding the gold-plated trophy in his hand, and his thin white fingers traced the shape of the rose wreath on the top of the trophy, which is the symbol of the royal family, "It's just that I didn't go to the scene, what a pity of."

Shao Xing looked at Shen Qiran without blinking, feeling that his mood was getting more and more complicated.

Maybe Shen Qiran really doesn't feel regretful, but Shao Xing is very clear about his heart: he is very regretful.

It's a pity that Shen Qiran was unable to stand upright on the podium because of himself, because of his status as "marshal's wife", and because of the shadow of rumors.

In his previous life, this person had gained many benefits because of his status as the marshal's wife; Shao Xing would never have thought that in this life, the same status would actually restrain the other party's soaring wings.

How ironic.

Sensing that Shao Xing's mood was a bit depressed, Shen Qiran put the trophy aside, coughed lightly, and waited for Shao Xing's gaze to come over before continuing.

"Actually, I don't feel sorry. There is another reason." He said seriously.

"I've always felt that the current music relies too much on spiritual power, so I want to try whether a song can move people with rhythm and melody alone without spiritual power."

Coming from a world without spiritual power, he always feels that the quality of the song itself is more important.Just like writing a novel, gorgeous writing and superb skills can add color to the article, but what really touches the readers themselves is a good story that hits the heart directly.I chose to release the recorded song at the beginning because the spiritual stickiness of this carrier is weak, which is very suitable for verifying the quality of a song itself.

"Now that I have verified my guess, so many people have heard my song and expressed their love, I enjoy the process of creating it, and I feel sincere joy and satisfaction for the result, compared to These, the so-called awards or honors, are really not that important to me."

"It's like when you go to the frontline, you are fighting for your beliefs, and you are proud of being able to protect the safety of the empire and countless people. It is an honor given to you by the empire, but if you don't, you won't feel regretful and disappointment, because what you were going to do has already been done, hasn't it?"

Shao Xing's stern face was stunned for a moment, he stared at the person in front of him for a long time, and then nodded slightly.

"Ah."

He lowered his eyes, and took out a square box decorated with velvet from his arms. After opening it, there was a golden medal engraved with the totem of the military department inside.

"This is a reward from the military department." He said to Shen Qiran, "To thank you for donating the copyright of "Serenade" to medical care."

Although the principle is unknown, it is obvious that "Serenade" can cure some patients with impaired mental power. In this world that is highly dependent on mental power, there are many kinds of diseases in mental power and are very complicated, and the means of healing are extremely limited.Music therapy is one of the most commonly used methods of treatment, and the healing music included in the treatment system is a high-level medical resource, and the original author can reap a lot of treatment fees.

This fee does not belong to the scope of fundraising for public welfare activities. Shen Qiran has the right to ask for it to be transferred to his personal account, but I heard that "Serenade" is especially effective for soldiers who have suffered mental trauma during the war. Although he is short of money, Shen Qiran still chose No money was taken, and the copyright was directly donated to the military for free.

"This is a proof of honor. In the future, in the empire, as long as you show this medal to the military, you can get the highest level of preferential treatment." Shao Xing said.

This is really an unexpected joy. With this, even if he leaves the capital in the future, as long as he is still in the territory of the Lyman Empire, it will be much more convenient to do many things.Shen Qiran was overjoyed, and reached out to take the medal, but Shao Xing didn't hand it to him, but withdrew his hand and looked at him silently.

Shen Qiran was startled for a moment, and quickly understood what the other party meant, he immediately straightened his expression, and stood up from the sofa.

The TV screen in the living room went dark, and the surrounding lights also dimmed, only the light source above the ceiling remained the same.The golden lights fell down, like the beams of spotlights on the podium, shining on the people standing there.

"Mr. Shen Qiran." Shao Xing said.

The man smiled, his eyes sparkled under the light, like stars, bright and beautiful: "I am here."

"Thank you for your selfless gift, and I thank you on behalf of the countless people afflicted by disease who will benefit from your generosity."

Shao Xing stared at the young man on the opposite side, then raised his hand and gave a standard and firm military salute.

"Thank you for everything you have done for the Empire, your contribution will always be remembered."

It was the first time for Shen Qiran to see Shao Xing like this. He was different from the previous sternness. The other person's gaze was even gentle, full of encouragement and expectation.

Shao Xing picked up the golden medal, and Shen Qiran bent down. The distance between the two was so close that Shao Xing could even feel the other's breath gently brushing the ends of his hair.

Shen Qiran lowered his eyes and watched Shao Xing wear the medal for him with his own hands. The golden medal reflected a beautiful halo under the light. He couldn't help but touch it. The texture of the metal feels first-class.

"Do I still have to give an acceptance speech?" Shen Qiran laughed.

Shao Xing raised the corner of his mouth and made a "please" gesture.

Shen Qiran was just joking, and if he really wanted to say something, he felt a little embarrassed.He thought for a moment, then cleared his throat.

"I am very happy and honored to receive this honor." Shen Qiran looked around the living room in a serious manner, and said solemnly, "Thank you for your support and love, thank you for the recognition and trust of the military department, and thank you..."

His eyes finally fell on Shao Xing - the representative of the military department, who was also the only witness at the awards ceremony that no one knew about.

"I also want to thank...my first listener." Shen Qiran scratched his face, smiling a little shyly, "I will make persistent efforts to create more and better works."

It was just a joke-like process, but the man sitting opposite listened very seriously, and even clapped cooperatively after Shen Qiran finished speaking.

"You'll get better and better."

"Haha, thank you for coming."

"It's not flattery, I really think so." Shao Xing said with a serious expression, "Your achievements will never stop here."

Shen Qiran was startled, although Shao Xing had praised him before, but this time, he felt something unusual.It seemed that there was something else added to the other party's words.

But what exactly?He couldn't judge for a moment.

However, there is one thing that he can already feel clearly: the current Shao Xing no longer hates and is hostile to him as he did at the beginning.

Their relationship is quietly changing, and it's going in a better and better direction: when the day comes when they part ways, maybe the tragedy of the original work will not be repeated, and he may be able to leave Shao's house unscathed as he wished.At that time, he might have become good friends with Shao Xing. The two of them received the divorce certificate amicably, said goodbye to each other calmly, and even said hi to each other with a smile when they unexpectedly reunited in a different place many years later. Long time no see.

Well, isn't this dream a bit too beautiful...

However, it would be great if that's the way the future is headed.

***

Shortly after the charity celebrations, the New Year's Eve arrives.

No matter in which time, space or world, people have the same expectations and enthusiasm for the New Year.Aunt Mei hired a few helpers to redecorate Shao's house, with festive decorations everywhere, festive and beautiful.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, Shen Qiran and Shao Xing went to Mrs. Shao's place. Everyone gathered together and had a lively New Year's Eve dinner. After the meal, the group took a bus to Xingshan on the outskirts of the capital.

Xingshan belongs to the private domain of the royal family, and it is only open to the public during the few days of the New Year.Going to Xingshan to pray for blessings on New Year's Eve is a long-standing tradition in the capital. It is said that the ancestors of Moria had seen miracles here, so the people believe that praying here must be very effective.In a world with such advanced technology, such legends still have a long history. Shen Qiran has to feel that blessing activities really have a market in any world.

The whole family sat in the star shuttle busily, Shen Qiran and Shao Xing sat at the back, the little niece in the front row was very excited, she kept chirping and talking non-stop, making old Mrs. Shao laugh all the time.Shen Qiran's daily activities are limited to the city, and it's rare to come to the suburbs once, and it feels quite fresh.He kept looking at the scenery outside the window with interest, until he caught a glimpse of the reflection of the window glass, and realized that Shao Xing seemed to be looking at him all the time.

Shen Qiran turned her head and met Shao Xing's gaze.

"Do you have something to say?" Shen Qiran asked.

Shao Xing glanced at the family members in front of him, then lowered his voice, speaking in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"I just got a piece of news about Clarice."

Shen Qiran was stunned for a while before remembering who Clarice was, wasn't it the dean of the beauty branch who splashed dirty water rhythmically on the Internet during the celebration.

To be honest, Clarice's behavior made Shen Qiran feel very strange. He didn't know this person at all, but the other person harbored so much malice, it was really inexplicable.It was only after he saw the gossip in the baking group that he realized that Clarice was Esther's lover. From this, Shen Qiran felt that he might have slapped Esther's face three times. Only when she was angry would she use Clarice's hand to teach herself a lesson.

So in Shen Qiran's heart, Clarice is a tool person, just like the original owner Yu in her previous life, she was used by Esther as a gun.Shen Qiran didn't hate Clarice, and didn't care too much, so he asked casually, "What's wrong with her?"

"She's dead."

"What??" Shen Qiran almost couldn't control the volume, she was in a daze, "She...how could she..."

"Air accident." Shao Xing said.

"She is not a native of Wangdu. She bought a flight ticket back to her hometown last night. On the way, she encountered a sudden meteorite flow. The plane was hit violently, and the passengers in the cabin were all impacted. She didn't wear a seat belt as required. , flew out of the seat, hit the bulkhead and died on the spot."

Shen Qiran was speechless for a long time.

"In this accident..." After a while, Shen Qiran spoke with difficulty, "Did any other passengers die?"

Shao Xing shook his head: "Only a dozen people were slightly injured."

"..."

Although the probability of encountering a meteorite flow during an interstellar voyage is very low, it is not very rare. Clarice's death is just an unfortunate accident, but——Shen Qiran frowned—it was really a coincidence.

It's so coincidental that people even feel a little weird.

Reminiscent of his previous speculation, Shen Qiran couldn't help linking this matter to Esther, but he really couldn't figure out Esther's motive for killing Clarice—could it be because Clarice poured dirty water on himself? If it succeeds, Esther will blame her?

……

This is too scary!How much Esther hated herself to kill Clarice, who was doing things badly, in a fit of rage!

too difficult.It's so hard for me.

Finally, the relationship with Shao Demon King has eased up, and now there is a ghostly Esther, can my little life be saved?

Shen Qiran had a face full of lovelessness, Shao Xing did not expect the news to have such a great impact on Shen Qiran, he subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to comfort him but didn't know how to do it properly, hesitating for a moment, his palm fell on Shen Qiran's back, lightly Patted like a caress.

"Don't think too much, maybe this is a simple accident."

"En." Shen Qiran absent-mindedly replied, and after a while, sighed softly.

"I just think... she shouldn't end up like this."

Although Clarice's behavior is heinous, she is not guilty of death.Shen Qiran is not the Holy Mother, but when he thinks about his future situation, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad.

In this world, or in this book, the fate of cannon fodder is so unpredictable and tragic.

For the rest of the journey, Shen Qiran continued to look at the night outside the window, and did not speak again.Shao Xing didn't bother him, but kept his eyes on him from time to time.

Actually, Shao Xing did not tell Shen Qiran about some things.

About Clarice, Shao Xing secretly investigated deeply.Shen Qiran was very confused about Clarice's motive for framing him. After all, the two had never met face to face, but Shao Xing found out after investigation that Clarice had actually met Shen Qiran.

——When Esther was reviewing Moria College.

According to the confession of those present, Clarice did not enter the music classroom at that time, so Shen Qiran did not see her, but this was indeed the first and only intersection between the two parties, and the charity celebration held shortly after that, Clarice suppressed Shen Qiran in all directions.

Starnet said that Clarice was jealous of Mr. R's talent, but after going through the ins and outs, Shao Xing felt that Clarice was indeed jealous of Shen Qiran. Apart from her talent, there was a high possibility that she was jealous of the relationship between Shen Qiran and Esther. .

May I ask, under what circumstances, Clarice, a new love, would be jealous of her lover's former love?

It's nothing less than finding that he is completely inferior to that predecessor, or——

Shao Xing closed his eyes, suppressing Senhan who flashed past in his eyes.

——Or, discovering that her lover still misses her ex.

***

After more than an hour's drive, the group finally arrived at the foot of Xingshan Mountain.

There are beautiful and unique lanterns hanging near the main road. With the addition of spiritual power, the light of the lanterns is much brighter than ordinary street lights, illuminating the road up the mountain like daytime.There were noisy voices and moving heads everywhere, the festive and lively atmosphere could wash away a lot of troubles, Shen Qiran was infected by it, and smiled again.

There is a blessing palace on the top of Xingshan Mountain. In the palace, there is a perennial ice spring gushing out. This spring water has many tributaries, each descending from the mountain. At the foot of Xingshan Mountain, they converge into lakes of different sizes.Every new year, the royal family will send people to drop prayer crystal balls in the spring water. In fact, some good wishes are wrapped in colorful crystal balls made of spiritual power for the people who come to the mountain to pray for blessings to pick them up.

Shen Qiran was particularly interested in this event. On the one hand, he had never seen this way of asking for a lottery, and on the other hand, it was said that the first crystal ball he picked up would often have a lot of luck with the lottery.

"Back then, I issued a lottery that said, 'Prosperous wealth and prosperous business', and soon I received a big order, earning my first pot of gold." Shao Yao said, "This is really very effective!"

Shen Qiran let out a "wow", with a light of desire for money flashing in his eyes: If only I could make such a lottery!

"Mom and Dad, let's go up the mountain and find the lucky ball!" The little niece said impatiently.

"You're in a hurry." Shao Yao scratched her daughter's little nose, "There are too many people here, let's go to a place with fewer people."

"Why do you want to go to a place with few people? It's lively when there are many people." The little niece pouted.

Going to a place with few people is naturally because of Shao Xing's special status. Although he also put on a certain disguise when going out tonight, there is no guarantee that he will not be recognized at all.But during the New Year, most people still like to be lively, so Shen Qiran said.

"Why don't we move around freely, and the time is coming soon, so we can gather here again?" In this way, everyone doesn't need to accommodate Shao Xing, and children who like to be lively can also play happily.

Shen Qiran's words fell into everyone's ears and were automatically translated into "I want to live a sweet two-person world with my husband!" No one had any objection, and immediately approved it unanimously.

The group of people separated at this point, the most people were on the main road up the mountain, Shen Qiran and Shao Xing left the main road and walked along the foot of the mountain to a place with water.

The flow of people around gradually became sparse, and after walking for a while, a green lake appeared in front of it, with many praying crystal balls floating on it. From a distance, it looked like the water was covered with colorful crystals, very beautiful.

"Which prayer ball do you fancy?" Shen Qiran asked Shao Xing, "Let me help you get it."

"You help me?" Shao Xing raised his eyebrows to look at him, and waved casually towards the lake, and a radiant golden crystal ball suddenly appeared in his palm.

"Are you sure I'm not here to help you?"

Shen Qiran: "..."

Well, I almost forgot that Demon King Shao is also a summoning mage =. =

The author has something to say: Ran Ran: My dream!Peaceful divorce!Amicable parting!We can still be friends in the future!

Mr. Shao: It is indeed a dream—you can only think about it in your dreams.

Thanks to the little angel of beep, beep, and sauce for throwing thunder!ok~
