Dawn Sleep

It was already late after getting off the self-service flying machine.Jiang Jianming secretly brought Garcia back to the place where he lives temporarily now, the staff dormitory of the Kaios Military Academy.

Of course Teacher Luo Hai didn't know, this was for the teacher's heart.This kind of thing—whether the crown prince came back from the dead, or the crown prince was hidden in the military academy, or the combination of the two—is too exciting.

Jiang Jianming said that telling it at this time would turn into a ghost story, which is not appropriate.

Fortunately, they didn't meet anyone along the way, and the two sneaked into the dormitory with the caution comparable to agents sneaking into the enemy's camp.

Jiang Jianming hung up the lock and looked back, seeing Garcia throwing the cover on the table, frowning and looking around the room.

The staff dormitory is still a dormitory temporarily vacated for him when no one lives in it all year round. One bedroom, one living room and a bathroom are built to top the sky.

Jiang Jianming took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, and walked over: "Little broken place, Your Highness has been wronged."

Garcia: "There's not even a treatment cabin here."

Jiang Jianming: "...Your disgusting angle is really unique."

Everything seems to be back to the old days.

They used to "live together" in the fortress of Yinbeidou with only one door separated. When they went out to battle, they sat side by side in the driver's seat in the mecha comet, and they simply rolled into the same bed in the starship back to the empire.

So now, they bathed and washed one after another, got into the quilt with a warm body of water vapor, and squeezed into a bed that was much smaller than the configuration in the starship... It seemed so natural.

So in the dimness with the lights off, Garcia let Jiang Jianming rest on his arm, and when he hooked Jiang Jianming's shoulder with his hand, he didn't realize that there was anything wrong.

The body of the crystal-less human is small and thin. When hugging this person, the emptiness in his chest can always be filled to the brim with the other person's body temperature, until it overflows with an inexplicable heat flow.

His Royal Highness Jiang Jianming put himself in a comfortable position and hugged him. Under his loose black hair was a pair of eyes hiding a gentle smile.

"You seem to be in a good mood. Are you so glad to see me?"

After he finished speaking, he asked again: "Did you see many alive and kicking disabled humans on the road today, how do you feel?"

Garcia hugged Jiang Jianming into his arms with the other arm, and said, "It's not like you. No disabled person can give me the feeling when I first saw you."

Putting aside the flames of war, the moment the four eyes meet, that kind of shock that penetrates into the soul.

Garcia thought about it seriously, and then said: "When I see them, I don't think they will die at any time... You are much stronger than them, and you are also much weaker than them."

Jiang Jianming: "No, it's just that you rarely see strange things when you are far away from the stars."

He pulled back the quilt, trying to give Garcia a little more.His Royal Highness snatched the quilt from his hand, and then wrapped him up again.

"I'm used to the climate of alien planets." Brief explanation, "but you need to keep warm to avoid freezing to death."

"..." Jiang Jianming could no longer tell whether Garcia's "worried about your death" was a joke or a serious one.

His side face was suddenly lifted by the prince's fingers, Garcia's brows and eyes were buried in the darkness, and his lips parted: "Call me by name."

Jiang Jianming was taken aback.

Garcia rubbed against him with her calf as if urging him, and her frost green eyes were very serious, "I want to hear you call my name."

Jiang Jianming pursed his lips, as if he understood something in his heart.

"...Garcia?"

Garcia closed his eyes, and rubbed the cheek of the disabled human with the tip of his nose: "Very good."

... At this moment, to him, it doesn't seem to matter whether it is the empty past and the chaotic future, or the chaos of the empire and the battle for the crown prince.

He also no longer tried to think about who the sacred person in his arms was - even tonight, the mansion Jiang Jianming walked out of didn't look like an ordinary house.

"Go to sleep."

He just wanted to be like this, holding this lovable body in his arms, sinking into his dream forever.

……

The next few days were unreally uneventful.

Kevin would come to him occasionally. After being woken up, the young man who learned from the pain was actually quite studious—or maybe he just wanted to test Jiang Jianming's limits. He always knocked on the door of this dormitory with all kinds of tricky problems.

Sometimes his companions would come too.A girl with a ponytail, a little chubby boy, and a dark-skinned boy.

Jiang Jianming hid Prince Garcia in the bedroom and gave lectures to the teenagers in the hall outside.

He was very cautious, because he was afraid that he would mislead his children by giving random lectures to military students of this age. He was not sure how to explain better knowledge, so he frankly said that he couldn't.

——Then next time, put the completed materials into a chip box and give them to a few little kids, ordering them to read them within a few days.

But in this way, Jiang Jianming worried that His Royal Highness, who was "hidden" by him, would find it boring.

So he also borrowed a stack of books and chip boxes from the library for Garcia, from the Encyclopedia of Children's Enlightenment to introductory books in various fields, and ordered His Royal Highness to read them within the time limit.

However, two days later, Jiang Jianming found out in despair that Garcia was lying comfortably on the bed, reading "Evil Imprisonment: The President's Sweet Wife Don't Try to Escape" on his wrist phone-a student book confiscated by the previous teacher.

He also said to him with a half-smile: "According to the concept in this novel, Lieutenant Jiang, you are illegally imprisoning me now."

"..."

Jiang Jianming slapped His Royal Highness's noble buttocks expressionlessly: "Do you think it's a pity that there are no whip wax oil and mouth balls here?"

Another day, Jiang Jianming gave a lecture to Kevin outside.

Forgot what they were talking about, the two laughed for a long time.Kevin laughed so hard that he held his arm and called him "Ginger".

When Jiang Jianming sent the boy away in the evening, he pushed open the door of the bedroom, and saw Garcia leaning against the door, lowering his head irritably.

...biting the crystal bone that grew out of his own wrist.

Jiang Jianming: "..."

Garcia: "."

Jiang Jianming asked hesitantly, "Cough... why?"

Garcia said coldly: "It wanted to hug you, and it came out by itself."

Jiang Jianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stretched out his hand to touch the cluster of crystal bones, but Garcia turned around and avoided it, and said, "You can't get used to it, it will be even more disobedient next time."

Jiang Jianming: "...Please don't make it sound like this is not your own crystal bone."

That night, when they rolled into bed, Jiang Jianming asked Garcia to tell him about the new humans.

"About crystal particles, crystal bones, real crystals... I only have theoretical knowledge from books." He smiled, "But the books don't say that new humans have the habit of biting their own crystal bones."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Jianming only felt his ankle tighten and loosen.It was the crystal bone released by Garcia from the toe that caught him, and then let go immediately.

"The crystal particles are in the new human body, and the crystal particles are condensed into crystal bones."

Garcia handed his wrist to Jiang Jianming, and the crystals condensed and covered his right hand in a blink of an eye, and quickly retracted it after a few seconds. "Like a limb, when you want to use it, it moves naturally."

"But when you don't deliberately perceive it, crystal bones are more likely to be affected by emotions and lose control than limbs. The more concentrated the crystal particles in the body, the higher the crystal bone level, the more so."

Jiang Jianming thought about it for a while, and thought that dogs would flick their tails wildly when they were happy.

I also thought that when some people were reading popular novels like "The Evil Prisoner: The CEO's Sweet Wife Don't Try to Escape", there was a ferocious smile on the corner of their mouth, twisting like a maggot on the bed.

Although he is not sure if it is possible to make an analogy like this, he thinks he has understood it for the time being.

"The real crystal is different. The crystal particles that make up the crystal bone are yours, and those crystal particles are one with you, just like your flesh and blood. But the crystal particles that make up the real crystal exist scattered in the air and do not belong to any life."

"So you have to concentrate on controlling it, use the crystal particles in your body to affect its frequency, and finally let it succumb to you... just watch."

As the prince said, he handed his right hand to Jiang Jianming, and bent his five fingers...

It was as if something in the air was gathered by an invisible force, and small crystal clusters began to grow, condensing into a golden-red crystal rose.

Jiang Jianming picked up the real crystal rose, but soon, the flower began to dissipate from the edge of the petals.

He was thoughtful: "Once you loosen the control, the true crystal will dissipate, right?"

With a light wave of Garcia's finger, the rose dissipated, "You can also take the initiative to break it and make it disappear in an instant—sometimes you need to destroy the corpse."

Jiang Jianming: "But I rarely see new humans using real crystals to attack."

Garcia: "Owners of low-level crystal bones can't do this. When they try to control the crystal particles in nature, they will cause the crystal particles in their body to become unbalanced, and the end result is crystal chaos."

Jiang Jianming immediately thought of the time when the lava pirate released the real crystal mine on the cliff, and his face darkened.

Garcia seemed to see through his thoughts, leaned over and put his arms around his waist, and said in a low voice, "But I won't."

Day after day, time passed between joking, learning and hugging.

Until this day, Jiang Jianming received the communication that he had been secretly waiting for for a long time.

The Grand Marshal of the Empire and Supreme Military Commander Chen Hanke has returned from Alborn Star City, and asked him to meet at the White Jade Palace tomorrow.

It was the White Jade Palace instead of the military headquarters, and Jiang Jianming was keenly aware of something unusual.

He didn't hide it, and told Garcia about it, the latter didn't respond, but asked him if there were really many golden roses planted in the White Emerald Palace.

The golden rose is a symbol of the royal family. Jiang Jianming nodded, and Garcia asked him to steal one back.

Jiang Jianming: "...I will go to jail. Except for the real royal family, all the roses in Zhebai Jade Palace will be arrested and sent to jail."

Garcia stopped talking.He didn't tell Jiang Jianming that he had just received the same meeting newsletter - tomorrow afternoon, White Jade Palace, but the time was slightly staggered.

This pleased him a little.

The old marshal wanted to see him, needless to say, because he hoped that he would inherit the crown prince as Prince Lai'an.

But Jiang Jianming was also called over, and it seemed that the imperial side was not worried that the two of them would meet by chance.

This fully proves that there is nothing shady about Jiang Jianming's identity.Maybe in the starship that day, he really thought too much.

So tomorrow, maybe...

He can break a golden rose for Jiang Jianming.
