"..." Yun Shen was stunned. Although he will be 28 after the new year, his soft oriental face makes him look younger than he actually is. , he is not much different from those who have just grown up in the bereaved family. Takla is 26 years old, and it is a bit of a feeling to place his feelings for his father on him...

Yun Shen tried hard to think back, all the way along the way, he sought attention, love, and praise. Well, Takla's attitude is obvious enough. Regardless of the reason for this mentality, "Why me?"

He knew that both of Takla's parents had passed away, but if he wanted to empathize, he should be someone who was older and looked more amiable and dignified.Yun Shen is quite self-aware of his appearance. When he was working in the past, others would say that he was young and promising, but in private, he was "hairless on the mouth", "a representative of face", and "a small talent with a big use". It has never been less, even if he slowly gained a foothold here relying on cheats and technical advantages, he doesn't think he has the authority to convince everyone—not to mention that Takla's complex doesn't seem to have much to do with authority.

"His father was 27 years old when he died," Fan Tianlan frowned, "but the problem is not here—"

The reason of being similar in age is understandable, but Yun Shen couldn't see the problem Fan Tianlan said, and met his unclear eyes, this ex-mercenary had traveled almost half of Central Continent, and had seen a lot of strange people and strange things Confused about how to properly account for the dangers of a pervert.A subtle silence lasted for a while.

"If one day...he pursues another kind of relationship with you," Fan Tianlan took a breath, and then whispered, "Don't accept him."

How did you turn in this direction?Yun Shen was a little confused, lack of EQ was due to insufficiency, he understood a little bit, "Tianlan, I think Takla is just—"

Although he didn't like to talk, this young man who was several years younger than Yun Shen clearly expressed his disapproval attitude with his eyes.

Older people also have older experience, Yun Shen thought about it, and finally laughed, "It is not so easy for a person to have special feelings for another person, he is only a temporary empathy, I think Takla It doesn't matter if you know what you're doing. And I don't think about it now."

Fan Tianlan walked up to him and half knelt down, put one hand lightly on Yun Shen's hand, raised his head and asked, "Not now?"

Yun Shen hummed, "I once promised a friend that I would not form a partner with anyone before the age of 30."

Fan Tianlan held his hand, "Why?"

"That was one of his last wishes." Yun Shen said softly.

Fan Tianlan frowned, "...This is not good."

Yun Shen shook his head, "It doesn't matter to me. After all, I don't know much about this kind of thing, and I came here too suddenly. Fortunately, I don't have a lover, otherwise both parties will feel uncomfortable."

"Is there no previous lover?"

"..." Yun Shen was silent for a while, "No, I haven't thought about it before."

Fan Tianlan knew that even in that distant world, Yun Shen as an individual was very good. The bondage of love there was much smaller than here, and the way of pursuing the one he wanted was bolder and more direct, but this person's soul and The breath is still very pure, as if there has never been a deeper intersection with anyone, "Later, it was because of that person?"

"That friend saved my life, but he was injured and disabled. I took care of him for a period of time until he passed away... I thought he might have a crush on me, but he denied it." Yun Shen said, with a nostalgic expression on his face. Sad, and a little dazed, "He said it was my delusion, it was just a kind of dependence of the disabled on the care workers. However, the discovery of the disease had nothing to do with me, and I was partly responsible for his life ending so tragically , so I can't be with anyone before the age when his life is interrupted, this is what I owe him...I agreed. "

Yun Shen's right hand was still in Fan Tianlan's palm, and the skin-to-skin contact felt so warm, like a kind of comfort, "He is a senior two years earlier than me, seven years older than me, he is very mature in his life, and his work performance is also very good. Excellent, he lost his legs because of me, which means he lost his future. I always felt sorry for him, but he acted very strong. Let me not always have the mentality of compensation, saying that a man should be more relaxed You have to open up. Even if the doctor later found out that he was terminally ill, he still controlled his emotions very well, even at the last moment, he still..." He paused, but he still didn't continue.

"You are very sad." Fan Tianlan raised his hand and lightly touched Yun Shen's side face, and said in a low voice.

"Yes." Yun Shen looked sad, "From school to work, he has always taken good care of me, and he was only 30 years old, so he died young, and his life and career have not really started..."

"But he used your guilt to ask you not to be with others." Fan Tianlan held his hand tightly, "He is very contradictory."

"Actually, I don't understand, but it was his last wish. I have never met anyone who is special to me. It doesn't matter if you wait."

Fan Tianlan lowered his gaze, and asked after a while, "Yun Shen, your feelings for him don't have any special significance?"

This question was a bit abrupt, Yun Shen was startled, then shook his head, "I respect him and admire him, but he said that even he may not understand what love is, and an immature person like me is not qualified to try this kind of thing." Feelings. The kindness and brotherhood between two men is enough."

Fan Tianlan raised his head and looked into his almost pure black eyes, "If he admits his feelings for you, will you accept him?"

"He said he didn't mean that..." As an engineer, Yun Shen had a very pragmatic way of thinking.

"If." Fan Tianlan insisted.

"...Okay, let me think about it." Yun Shen compromised.

Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, the man who didn't feel decadent at all lit the cigarette in his mouth, put the lighter in his pocket, and looked up, with that familiar and slightly unscrupulous smile.

Since you insist on wasting time on me, why don't we have a romantic relationship by the way, huh?

——"Tianlan, I think I will."

Fan Tianlan just looked at him intently, Yun Shen showed a bitter smile, "I'm not good at this kind of thing, and I really don't understand that kind of emotion, the kind that people think should be intense, sweet, irreplaceable , a feeling that can live or die for it. But if I are like my parents who are confidants to each other, no matter the difficulty or the success, I will never leave, and stay with me until the end of my life, so I can do it, even if... there is nothing left How long will it take?"

"Even if the other party is a man?" Fan Tianlan asked softly.

"It's not so important who the object is," Yun Shen shook his head lightly, "When the day comes when I need a partner, I hope I can find someone who will walk with me to the end, Tianlan, I don't have any relatives anymore, look Watching them leave one by one, it's not a good feeling to be the one who stays."

So that man told clumsy lies one after another, in order not to bind the person in front of him, but in the end he still lost to those feelings wrapped in lies, words that cannot be spoken, things that cannot be controlled but cannot be realized, and finally achieved. It's just a seal that can only last seven years.

Fan Tianlan was silent, looking at this man's sad face, he wanted to do something, but everything he wanted to do had similar concerns as that of the dead man.

"My parents died in the line of duty. I didn't see them for the last time. My grandfather also passed away in grief not long after. I hope that I will not let them down. Maybe it's because I put too much energy on my studies. I didn't have many friends when I was a student, and it was very precious to me to have such a friend, but in the end..." Yun Shen said, his voice gradually lowered, "When he was about to leave, his body was already very Weak, but still smiled and said to me, crying and crying is too embarrassing, let's say goodbye with a smile, just like the first time we met, saying that I am very happy to meet you..."

Some memories will never be forgotten, no matter how they are stored, when they reappear, they are still as vivid as they were at the beginning. Those emotions that were once gathered back surged out and became difficult to control, so Yun Shen stopped and raised his face.

Fan Tianlan, who had been watching him all the time, let go of his hand at this moment, stretched out his hand to gently hold his face, then straightened up, leaned his head sideways, and gently licked off a drop of transparent liquid that slid down from his face.

Yun Shen slightly opened his eyes wide, forgetting even the sadness for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad." Fan Tianlan said softly.

"...I'm just a little sentimental, I really lost my temper..." Yun Shen covered half of his face with his left hand in embarrassment, and his right hand was held by Fan Tianlan again.

"Compared to that person, I'm still far behind. I can only be taught by you." Fan Tianlan lowered his head, and gently kissed Yun Shen's cold fingertips, "But I will work hard."

"..." Yun Shen suddenly didn't know what to say.

"I will do my best to keep up with your footsteps, and I will become stronger so that I can live longer. I will not lie, I will not betray, and I will not go before you," the last kiss Landing on the back of Yun Shen's hand, Fan Tianlan raised his head and looked deeply at Yun Shen's eyes that were especially clear from the moisture, "There will be no more pain for you."

Your past is over there, your present and future are here, and you no longer belong to them.

As if confused by the golden prominences in those eyes, Yun Shen couldn't look back for a moment, and after a while he replied a little helplessly, "...Thank you, Tianlan."

Then he sighed again, "You have worked hard now, don't let yourself be too reluctant."

Not enough.For the first time, Fan Tianlan felt the empty hunger similar to Takla's.

On December 12, the 23th day since Yun Shen came to this world, the winter solstice, light snow, and the temperature was minus seven degrees.

Powered by two diesel engines, 15 wooden rafts with a length of 5 meters and a width of 3 meters are connected. The wooden frames are covered with plastic film, and then the large tugboat is covered with grass canopy. The 35-member guard group has also undergone initial training, each wearing stainless steel armor and carrying two short daggers, 50 of them have swords, and the rest have a simplified version of the rifle with an effective range of 15 meters and 50 rounds of soft iron bullets. And a certain amount of dry food and medicines were assembled by the river.

They will go upstream along this river, sail for about 45 kilometers and enter a large river in a gentle period, go downstream for hundreds of kilometers, and then enter another tributary of a large river called Sanda, at the agreed-upon distance from the Mobis Valley. The location was estimated to be 3 kilometers away, leaving a small group of guards, and others entered the village named Cantel in the Mobis Valley to pick up the tribe compatriots sent back by Viscount Greer's subordinates.

The supplies prepared for the returning compatriots were loaded onto the tugboat one by one. Takla sent the oil to the bow and returned to the shore. Fan Tianlan had already assembled the team. At the moment when the eyes of the two met, Fan Tianlan still had that expression, But he nodded to Takla, which made the latter look surprised.

Although the weather was quite cold, there were still many people who came to the river to see them off, and Yun Shen was among them.Except for technical problems, there were not many places where he needed to intervene in this kind of scene. Yun Shen only stepped up when the last group of young people were about to set off.Under the gaze of eyes that were more excited than uneasy, Yun Shen smiled, and said to the dozens of young people in a calm tone: "I hope everyone will have a smooth journey and return safely. Be careful on the road."

The voices in response were rather chaotic, but full of vigor.

"With me here, no trash can get in the way." Takla said with a smile, his ability to pull hatred is still outstanding, and immediately someone glared at him.

Fan Tianlan didn't say anything, just looked at Yun Shen quietly, then put his five fingers together, raised his right hand to level his shoulders, turned his palm outwards, and put his middle finger close to his temple.After saluting and putting down his hands, he turned his head and faced the people behind him.

"Let's go." After speaking, he strode towards the temporary pier.

Takla followed up inexplicably, "Hey, hey, what is this gesture?"

Yun Shen stood behind, silently reflecting, did Tian Lan learn too thoroughly those textbooks he bought back?
