The strategy was almost successful!

Liao Ruming said that he couldn't get up in the early morning, but in fact, he woke up earlier than Julien.

He woke up at three o'clock in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep.

He probably only slept for four or five hours.A slight exhaustion permeated his body, but he still felt that it was impossible to sleep.

So he got up quietly and went to wash.When he came out of the bathroom, he found Julien still asleep on the bed.Liao Ruming's waking up did not wake him up at all.

This made Liao Ruming smile softly.

He squatted beside the bed and tilted his head to look at Julien's face.

It is strange that, a few days ago, he knew nothing of the Aldous tyrant.But now, they are about to enter married life.

Occasionally, when Liao Ruming looked at Julien, he even felt that his face was a little strange.

After all, we didn't get along for many days.

But at this moment, in the last gloom before dawn, as he gazed at Julien's face in the half-light, he could not help thinking that this was his mate.

—his, future, eternal companion.

They will walk through many, many worlds hand in hand.They will walk with time, history, and the main universe in this shadow-like Hiram universe.They will always be with each other.

"forever".

To a large extent, Liao Ruming resisted this word.but……

But, Cyril is Cyril.

Perhaps in the future, some things may still change and affect their relationship.But Liao Ruming had inexplicable confidence in Cyril.He said that once anything appeared in this world, in Hiram, it would become eternal.

So are their feelings.

Liao Ruming couldn't help laughing.

He noticed a strand of hair sticking to Julien's cheek, and reached out to fiddle with it.Then he got up and went out on the balcony to get some air.

He didn't notice that the eyeballs under Julien's eyelids seemed to move slightly.He also woke up.

It was only three o'clock in the morning at this time, and the scene outside seemed very dim.But those lights still look very warm.This is the quietest moment.

In another hour or two, the stars will rise, the world will wake up, and people will crowd noisily in every corner of the city.

From a little further away, Liao Ruming could even see Aldous - that planet.The main star of the huge Aldous Empire.

He suddenly thought that there were too many things in the past few days.Maybe in a couple of days he can go to learn about Aldous and even the past of this bubble.

Maybe he will stay in this bubble for a long time.This is a world driven and formed by players and shadows, which is very interesting in itself.

Liao Ruming sat down.This open balcony was originally a viewing balcony. Tables, chairs and benches were placed here so that Liao Ruming could sit here comfortably and wait for the stars to rise.

He wants to see the sunrise.

He has not been able to figure out the structure of the castle for the past few days, but the transformation of the castle is almost complete.From the outside, the castle just has a lot of bright windows.

But indoors, the light has been much brighter, making Liao Ruming feel that living in this ancient castle is not a bad thing.

He likes the feeling of overlooking the entire space city.But he also felt that it was too high and too cold here.He should go to the city with Julien more.

In any case, that was after the wedding.

……wedding.

Liao Ruming's mood was a bit complicated, he propped his chin, thought for a while, and said "017".He wants to talk to someone - although 017 is not a human being, he can also talk to it.

"Host." The small ball of light flickered, creating a faint brightness in the dim light, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Liao Ruming said lazily: "It's nothing. I just wanted to chat with you."

017 shook slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"You want to say..." Liao Ruming looked up at the starry sky—or rather, he was facing the universe directly at the moment, "Am I going to stay here forever?"

"……Yes."

Liao Ruming said: "My answer is the same: yes. I will stay in Hiram forever."

017 hesitated to speak.

"Don't make it so bitter." Liao Ruming said in a relaxed tone, "In the main universe, I really have nothing worth caring about."

017 said: "But..."

Liao Ruming sighed: "How about you just pretend that I'm here to marry you?"

017 was speechless for a moment.

It thought, what the hell is its stupid host talking about?Does the first universe need the dedication of an ordinary civilian to study a certain thing?

But... 017 thought carefully about what happened before and after, and couldn't help admitting that the current situation is like this.

If there is no connection between Liao Ruming and Cyril, it may take a long, long time for the main universe to know the nature of Hiram, or even never know.

Now, however, they were in direct contact with the King of Hiram.

Even so...even if they did get a lot out of it...

"However, host." 017 said in a low voice, "I still think this is your sacrifice."

"...Sacrifice." Liao Ruming sneered suddenly, and said impatiently, "Do you, including the professors at Academia Sinica, think so?"

017 was taken aback, not understanding why Liao Ruming reacted so suddenly.

Liao Ruming said: "Don't any of you think that I am willing to stay in Hiram because I really love Cyril?"

017 maintained a subtle silence.

Liao Ruming asked in disbelief: "So in your eyes, I'm really a scumbag?!"

017 coughed in embarrassment, and it justified: "You always do what you want... What if you regret it again in the future? Want to break up with that person?"

Based on Cyril's identity and majesty, 017 didn't even dare to call him by his first name.

But now Liao Ruming is not in the mood to pay attention to this.

He seemed to be suddenly deflated, lying on the recliner, lazily staring at the universe.At this moment, he suddenly realized that his dream had come true.

Then he said to 017: "Cyril brought me a lot... the most important thing is a kind of infinite possibility. I like this."

017 didn't understand what he meant.

After a while, Liao Ruming said again: "I don't know...whether I will regret it in the future. I can't say anything about the future. I know my character flaws.

"I am lazy, irritable, self-centered, always hot for 3 minutes, not good at speaking, not easy to deal with, free-wheeling, arrogant, duplicity..."

He made a string of disparaging remarks about himself, and had no intention of saying anything good about himself.

This is true.

He clearly knew himself.

It may appear to others that this is a form of self-loathing, self-deprecation, and self-avoidance.But for Liao Ruming, he was just soberly describing this human named "Liao Ruming".

That's who he is.And he accepts himself as such.

Recognizing your own flaws and admitting your weaknesses is always more difficult than discovering your strengths and confirming your strengths.But Liao Ruming understood from a very young age that human beings are complex.

... The adults in the orphanage would mercilessly make him cry, then laugh out loud, completely deny his dreams, and put him in confinement; of course, they would carefully and gently prepare three meals a day for him, When he was sick, he stroked his forehead gently.

Those children would call Liao Ruming behind his back as a nuisance, and they would not want to play with Liao Ruming; of course, they would share their candy and snacks with Liao Ruming when they were happy, and hold Liao Ruming's hand to see the ant hole.

Those wine and meat friends would cut off contact with Liao Ruming immediately after finding out that Liao Ruming was a worthless orphan; of course, they would also laugh and talk freely with him when drinking and eating with Liao Ruming.

……his parents.They abandoned him, dumped him.But they also bore him and gave him life.Who can guarantee that the birth of Liao Ruming is not from pure love?

But after that, that splendid flower of love quickly withered and withered, and Liao Ruming also became a rotten petal.

So Liao Ruming always hoped that he was not just immersed in dark and decadent emotions.Everyone lives in the same world.

As is the case with others, so is he.

The others were a nuisance, and so was he; the others were a wretch, and so was he.

If the other guy was a good guy...so was he.

He is one of the multitude.

It is impossible for him to grasp his destiny, and it is impossible for him to know where his future will go.

He said: "I just try my best to do what I don't regret now."

Because 90% of the progress of the strategy made him feel uncomfortable and unhappy, so he broke up with the target of the strategy and gave up the main task; because now he loves Cyril, he is willing to stay in Hiram.

He never liked to say "forever".

Did his parents ever say forever to each other?Did the children in the foster care tell each other that they would be good friends forever?Forever...always is a promise to the future.

And people can never know what their future holds.

So Liao Ruming disdained to say "forever".He was willing to say "I will always love you" in order to make Cyril happy, which was just to coax him.

The truth is, of course he hopes that he will love Cyril forever, but no one can tell the future.

It's just that now, he really loves Cyril so seriously.

In Liao Ruming's body, gentleness and cruelty are always wonderfully unified.And Cyril seems to have slowly accepted this.

...From the beginning to the end, Liao Ruming acted according to his own will.He is an extremely self-centered person.He doesn't want to do anything against his will.

He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the soft breeze blowing on his cheeks.In the distance, stars rise, the sky gradually becomes brighter, and a gentle rose color sweeps across the sky.

He thought, today will be a good day.

So he laughed and said to 017: "You should tell me: happy wedding. Don't say such spoiling things."

017 hesitated for a moment, and then said sincerely: "Happy newlyweds."

"That's right." Liao Ruming said with a smile, "How many worlds have we traveled together?"

Julien's voice came from behind him: "How many worlds?"

Liao Ruming: "..."

He turned his head and glanced at Julien, confirming that His Majesty the Emperor of Aldous had a gloomy look on his face.

He thought, it must be the anger of getting up.

...that's right.Get up angry.

So Liao Ruming showed a big and bright smile, and he said, "Good morning, Julien. Do you want to watch the sunrise too?"

Julien glanced at him, then looked at the former position of the disappearing ball of light, was silent for a moment, then shook his head, and said, "I'm a fool to be angry with you."

"You finally realized this, my dear." Liao Ruming said jokingly, "Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?"

Julien said, "Shut up."

Liao Ruming laughed: "Then you should come and kiss your husband."
