the one who lives in my body

After a long period of time, Xie Dongrong did not contact me again.

Even when the national mourning holiday was over and I returned to the Mech Manufacturing Park, I didn't see him there.

No more texting me, no more calling me, no more hearing his voice yelling that he wants to see me.

Anyway, I'm still a bit disappointed.

When I am not busy, I always think of him.

Think of all kinds of him.

I started to question if I shouldn't have said something like that, if I had gone so far that he didn't want to talk to me anymore.

But after digging deeper, I think I was right.

So in order not to let myself think about him, I became busy.

The scenes that Xie Dongrong told me about living with him would occasionally appear in my dreams.

After waking up, I don't know whether it was a nightmare or a good dream. I only know that my heart is empty, as if I have lost something.

Of course, I still didn't tell my mother about Tao Wenyan's matter in the end.

On the one hand, I don't know how to speak, on the other hand, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it.

Furthermore, even if I tell her all this, can I change her?

I didn't ask her if she contacted Tao Wenyan again, because those bad things would always slow down my work efficiency greatly.

When there are no distractions in mind, it is naturally the fastest to work.

The mecha has already taken shape, logically speaking, Xie Dongrong should come to see it from time to time as a supervisor.

But he didn't come.

This mech tentatively named "Tree", it has the most complete defense system, just like its appearance, like a big tree rooted in the soil, even after tens of thousands of years, it still remains motionless.

Maybe for a moment, I thought about contacting Xie Dongrong. The nature of people who love to be cheap is undoubtedly exposed at this time, but fortunately, I have been guilty of being cheap for so many years when I was young, and the moment I want to be cheap, I will reflexively start again. examine myself.

Fortunately, the idea of ​​looking for him often only exists for a short time, and then I forcefully clear it out of my brain, as if it never appeared.

I saw Xie Dongrong again when I went to the palace for an appointment.

That's right, Xie Dongrong was really good at predicting things. After the national funeral, the late king had just been buried, and An Hexuan, who had just ascended the throne, contacted me.

He asked if I was still busy with work?Is there anything particularly urgent recently?He also asked me if I was still interested in all things Amut.

I have already heard the conjecture from Xie Dongrong before, but now it is clear to me what An Hexuan wants to do. Even if I am not free at work, I still have time at any time. Sure enough, his next step is to invite me to the palace and say yes Want to give me a "surprise".

surprise?A "surprise" called a ticking time bomb?

This time, it was still An Hexuan who sent a car to pick me up at the Mech Manufacturing Park.

It is very different from the last time. At this moment, he is no longer a prince but a real king. He will no longer "visit" in person, but just send a car specially provided by the royal family to drive into the park and park it firmly in our park. in front of the dormitory.

Exclusively for the royal family, the license plate color is unique purple, and the unique car model is a symbol of the royal family's status.

Although it was painted in an inconspicuous black, there are still many knowledgeable people stopping by in the park. It doesn't feel good to be conspicuous, which made me very painful during the time when I left the dormitory and opened the car door.

I thought, this An Hexuan is really boring, isn't he just calling me into the palace?Can't use a regular car?

I don't like the feeling of being watched.

Facts have proved that there is no subjective difference between the An Hexuan who became the king and the An Hexuan who was the prince. I have known him for a long time, so I don’t have much awe for him. Although he is sitting on the throne at the top of the steps, He stared down from a distance.

There are no outsiders here, and the time to discuss with the ministers should have passed long ago. I don't understand why this person is still sitting here. Standing still below, I looked up at him and asked, "Maybe I should see Your Majesty?"

An Hexuan laughed out loud, his voice seemed a bit empty in the huge hall, at this moment I realized that even if I still treat him as a brother, I can't make him feel slighted, after all... an emperor He will always be vigilant about the throne under his buttocks, in case he suddenly becomes very sensitive——

"Tao Shu, you are still the same." Saying that, An Hexuan stretched out his hand to me, "Come up."

I realized that his actions seemed to have ulterior motives, but I couldn't "resist the will", and slowly, I walked up.

An Hexuan asked me to stand beside him and asked me to look down, and he asked me what it felt like.

I said, "Well, it's condescending, and the view is very wide."

"It's the feeling of being on the top of a cliff and being pushed off the cliff at any moment," he said.

Hearing this, I observed his face.

His complexion is a little pale and thin, and the unrestrained flair of the past has been worn away to the point where he can hardly be seen. He should try his best to make himself look like an emperor, but obviously, the cultivation of driving ducks to the shelves is different from that of playing a young boy , I think this may not be a good thing for our country. In my mind, An Hexuan should not be able to reach this point, but at this moment, he is obviously sitting at the highest position in the entire empire, but there is only anxiety in his eyes.

"You're used to it, Your Majesty." I said with a tease, "But if you're willing, I'd rather discuss this matter in a more private space, what do you think?"

An Hexuan brought me into the study.

I don't know why these aristocratic princes or the royal family like to discuss matters in the study room, but this is indeed a good quiet place, but compared with the study rooms in other places, the study rooms inside the palace are larger and more spacious.

"Now Dongrong is no longer helping the royal family, and his position has been dismissed..." Without too many pleasantries, An Hexuan went straight to the point. I was surprised to find that he still referred to Xie Dongrong as "Dongrong" at this time.

"I know." This was what Xie Dongrong expected early in the morning and relayed to me.

"These are all mother's intentions." The corners of his lips hooked, An Hexuan supported his head, "I thought about keeping him for a while, at least not now, but mother is too anxious."

"I didn't expect you to listen to your mother so much." It was like making fun of me, I don't know if these words in An Hexuan's eyes meant ridicule.

However, An Hexuan's expression remained the same, "It's not nice to say something, Tao Shu." He raised his eyes and looked at me, "I have no idea about conquest of the resources of Amut star and vigorously exploiting Amut star." Star Energy...I don’t care about these, I just start to miss the days when I used to go out every day, but my friends don’t think of me as the old me anymore.”

Of course, going out to play with Wang is a lot of pressure no matter how you think about it.

Surprisingly, An Hexuan was willing to tell me this.

However, after thinking about it, if I were in his situation, I might not be able to tell anyone else the truth.

How did the unrestrained and unrestrained young man become what he is now after taking the highest position?

"So the king attaches so much importance to the Amut star?" Reminiscent of the cruel abuse suffered by those simple and kind Amut people in another galaxy far away, even if it is for the sake of all human beings, I can't make myself speak Applauded, "So, what does His Majesty mean now, when the situation stabilizes, inherit the king's will?" Trying to make his tone normal, not so mocking, it's so difficult.

If he had said this to the previous king, he would have been dispatched to the frontier long ago.

"You call me Your Majesty, I always feel weird." As he said, An Hexuan patted my shoulder lightly, "To be honest, I don't know, it's not up to me to decide, generally, I will do what my mother tells me to do, and now the position that Dong Rong used to be in charge of is now vacant... I need someone who is familiar with me and who still knows the situation on the other side of Amut Star. "

It's very good, it's not too different from what Xie Dongrong thought, I can't help but applaud.

"I choose you, can I?"

"I take over Xie Dongrong's previous position?" To be honest, I can't figure out the logic.

"It's just a part. You don't have to worry about managing the soldiers stationed on Amut Star. You just need to record useful information through the surveillance screen and hand it in on time every day." Saying that, An Hexuan clicked on the optical brain, "I I can show you."

In An Hexuan's optical brain, I saw the place I need to work in the future.

There are many small screens next to a large screen, surrounded by walls. I have to say that such a room looks shocking.

"You and Dongrong also know each other, which is much more convenient." After a brief introduction, An Hexuan immediately continued, "Before the official handover, I will ask him to teach you some keys in that room How to control."

...It seems that An Hexuan doesn't know that Xie Dongrong and I haven't spoken for quite some time.

"This is a logical reason to reconnect with him." Speaking, as if on a whim, An Hexuan turned slightly, turned on the optical brain, and actually clicked on Xie Dongrong's communication interface.

Not long after, Xie Dongrong's face appeared on the screen, and they started a video call. Because An Hexuan was not far away, I was also included in the shot.

I don't know if it was my illusion, but the moment the phone was connected, I felt that Xie Dongrong and I looked at each other for a brief moment.

Immediately afterwards, An Hexuan began to say hello.

I heard the friendly greetings between them, coupled with An Hexuan's unnatural movements, only then did I realize that An Hexuan's optical brain was probably completely hacked and monitored.

Especially when communicating.

"Well, Tao Shu is here with me now." After speaking for a while, An Hexuan slightly staggered his body, presenting me in the center of the screen.

Xie Dongrong's expression didn't change much, he just said: "Do you want me to explain the handover work to him now?"

An Hexuan nodded, "If you have time."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Xie Dongrong said, "I'll be right there."

So, finally, after a long time, after that incident, will Xie Dongrong and I meet again?

Combined with his performance these days, I thought he would be more indifferent to me.

But the fact is, he will arrive soon.

An Hexuan yawned and asked us to talk first, Xie Dongrong can take me to the Amut observation room by himself, and he wants to sleep and rest.

Pat, clack, the sound of An Hexuan's footsteps gradually faded away.

Finally, suffocatingly, Xie Dongrong and I were alone again.

There were not many people in the empty corridors inside the palace.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see your new working environment." Walking to my side, Xie Dongrong whispered in my ear.

My mind froze for a moment, staring at him, I found that at this moment, I couldn't understand his expression more and more.
