Fu Tianhe took the central elevator and went down to the No. 13 information processing area. He carried the same heavy off-road bag and led Da Congming all the way to the shanty town in the low-lying south of the city.

After the unforgettable journey, returning to my residence for several months, I feel quite unreal.

He and Jiuyue left together, and now he came back again. The teenager beside him left, but followed a puppy who had retired from the laboratory.

Fu Tianhe went down the slope to a low-lying place. He passed through many illegal tents, carefully led Da Congming around the dirty water on the ground, and finally arrived at his dog's kennel in the corner.

The old man who lived next door passed away at some point, and now a young male Beta walked out of the shanty.Fu Tianhe could only secretly hope that the old neighbor who liked to listen to the radio had simply moved, rather than something more serious.

The moment the plastic curtain was lifted, Fu Tianhe froze for a moment.

The door that had been locked was smashed to pieces, and sawdust scattered all over the place.

Fu Tianhe frowned, fixed the door curtain aside, and walked into his "home".

The interior is like a storm passing through, and it has been looted long ago.

Fu Tianhe took a quick glance and was sure that all the valuable things had been taken away, even the CNC machine tool he used to eat was dismantled, and several boxes of parts used for work were missing beside the machine tool. Sell ​​it as scrap metal at a low price.

The looters not only removed all his usable things, but also made a mess of the house. Fu Tianhe saw it and felt his blood pressure rise instantly.

He took a deep breath, walked into the bedroom, and was not surprised to find that even his clothes had been stolen.

It should be fortunate that the robbers left him a bed to sleep in.

Fu Tianhe pressed his hands on the twitching temples and rubbed them vigorously.

calm down.

Before, he would definitely lose his temper, but maybe because the good mood of traveling together has not dissipated, he didn't think he was too angry.

Or because I sold dozens of mechanical cores before, I have a lot more money on hand, even if my home is stolen, I won't feel too distressed.

Strictly speaking, he was to blame for this. This low-lying shantytown was the most chaotic place in the entire No. 13 information processing area. It was close to a large garbage dump, and many scavengers lived here.

Fu Tianhe offended many people when he was picking up trash before, but now he goes out for more than ten days at once, it's normal to keep an eye on them.

The simple wooden door of the low shed can't stop people who want to come in at all. After the first person who came over smashed the door and ransacked the room, other people should come to pick up the remaining items.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to move his house so empty on his own.

After the sofas, machine tools and parts were removed, the whole living room looked extraordinarily empty.

More than a month ago, he and September spent many nights here. The two of them sat on the sofa to rest temporarily, or gathered around the machine tool to learn how to operate it.

But now, all the things that carried their beautiful memories are gone.

Fu Tianhe took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily.

Fortunately, he now has a brand new collection of memories, and the days and nights he spent on the journey with Jiuyue made the previous relationship a bit dull, otherwise Fu Tianhe would definitely jump to the ground with anger.

There was not even a place to sit in the whole living room, so Fu Tianhe simply sat cross-legged on the floor.

The door was hacked to pieces, and the heavy plastic curtain was lifted and fixed by him. Fu Tianhe didn't turn on the light, only the dim old lamp outside provided some faint light.

The noise of the shanty town made Da Congming a little nervous, he lowered his head to sniff uneasily, Fu Tianhe hugged it in his arms, and rubbed its head vigorously.

He lives in the most remote corner, and few people pass by. Fu Tianhe looked at the rectangular alleyway surrounded by the door frame. The sloping building was dark and the ground was uneven and muddy. inside.

The huge ventilation system was working, sucking out the stale air from the garbage dump, making this area always full of wind noise.

Suddenly, it seems to have returned to 11 years ago.

He was also sitting alone in the empty room, staring blankly at the outside. All the belongings in the house were taken away, including the clothes he was wearing, which were tightly sealed into the protective bag.

People in heavy white protective clothing come and go, protective masks hide their faces in the dark, and disinfectant sprays from the nozzle in their hands to every inch of the corner.

Amid the pungent smell, Fu Tianhe couldn't hear the hasty words clearly. He could only see the extremely distant place, where the red light was as dazzling as the sun, emanating from the giant incinerator.

The fire burned for seven days, destroying all the objects and memories of his past life, leaving only the engineering book.

The flames turned into dim lights, filling the street outside.

Only this time, he was no longer the child who would just sit on the ground and cry.

Fu Tianhe's hug reassured Da Congming, he lay on Alpha's lap, silently passing on the warmth.

Fu Tianhe rubbed its head, and said softly: "Okay, now there are only two of us left, we two will be your companions this week, and we can wait for September to come back with peace of mind."

Chen Nian almost stepped in the stagnant water.

I don't know which kind-hearted person repaired all the water pipes in the community before. During his trip, there was a new leak. Chen Nian is used to running amok in the palace, and he has to forget that he needs to be careful in the dungeon walk.

He leaned against the edge, deftly avoided the dripping water, and walked into the unit where his house was located.

The wall next to the stairs is covered with graffiti from his childhood. Looking at it now that Chen Nian has studied painting systematically for a few days, he has to feel that he is quite talented.

Finally reaching the third floor, Chen Nian stood still at the door and took a deep breath.

He hadn't been back for several weeks, and when he thought about seeing Uncle Jiang soon, it should have been exciting, but for some reason, he suddenly became a little timid again.

However, before he could prepare himself mentally, the door suddenly opened in front of him in the next second.

Chen Nian was taken aback, but when he saw the middle-aged man with gray hair and mottled red skin in front of him, his shock turned into joy: "How do you know I'm back?"

"Can I still not know what happened when you went up the stairs?"

Even though his hearing was not as good as it used to be due to injuries, Jiang Dai heard movement when Chen Nian went upstairs. He heard such footsteps on too many nights in the dead of night, and immediately realized that it was Chen Nian who came back up.

Seeing that the young man he missed every day came back in full order, with a smile on his face, Jiang Dai finally let go of his heart.

Chen Nian didn't say anything else, and rushed forward to give Jiang Dai a hug.

Whether it was excitement, apprehension, or other emotions before, they all disappeared at this moment.

After all, it is his relative who has been with him for 18 years. Chen Nian and Chen Ci are brothers who have known each other not long ago and made bold decisions together. They are comrades-in-arms who keep the same secrets and investigate many mysteries together with Shaffley. But for Chen Nian, The closest person is always Jiang Dai.

Jiang Dai patted him on the back and said, "Take off the bag quickly."

Chen Nian let go, and he quickly took off the off-road bag and put it by the wall, moved his shoulders, and complained: "It's too heavy, it hurts my shoulders."

"How are you playing these days?"

"I'm very happy, and I made a lot of new friends."

Chen Nian was grinning. Jiang Dai's question actually had two meanings. Although he already knew that what he said at home was a statement, no one had clearly pierced this layer of window paper.

In the eyes of the "unaware" Jiang Dai, Chen Nian should have traveled to various places in Chensha with Fu Tianhe. Strictly speaking, Chen Nian can indeed be counted as a trip. Tohru, I have been to many places on the top floor.

Having not entered the house for a while, Chen Nian first took a look in each room to make sure that it was still the one he was most familiar with.

Jiang Dai: "Will you go out later?"

"Not for the time being, just stay at home this week." Chen Nian turned to Jiang Dai and said, "By the way, Uncle Jiang, I found a trustworthy friend and plan to take you to the big hospital on the top floor for treatment in two days."

"I won't go." Jiang Dai refused straight away, "I won't go to the top floor."

Chen Nian raised his voice: "Why! Before we went to the clinic, didn't the doctor say that only big hospitals can cure your eyes? Now that I have found a safe enough way, why not go?"

"I don't want to go." Jiang Dai still insisted.

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiang, no one will recognize you." Chen Nian said softly, "I guarantee that everything will be done under the most covert circumstances, because the one who decided to help us is the current First Prince, Shaffley. Vitalievich."

Jiang Dai froze for a moment, then fell silent.

After half a minute, Jiang Dai asked in a low voice: "When...how did you know?"

"At the beginning of last month, someone invited me to watch the royal parade on the top floor, and I ran to the nearby clock tower, where I met Chen Ci by chance."

"He told me a lot of things, including my identity, and both of us were amazed that we were identical twins living completely different lives."

"Chen Ci didn't live well in the White Tower. Even when he went out, he had to be followed by many people. He wanted to know what freedom is, and I also wanted to experience the life of being able to see the sun every day."

"So I stayed on it and he came back here as me."

"Shafele is the fiancé of the statement. He can be said to be the person who has the most contact with the two of us. He quickly discovered the secret of our exchange of identities. Fortunately, he agreed to help conceal it."

"This time, he took you to the top floor for treatment, so you can rest assured, Uncle Jiang. Although I don't know what you have been worrying about all this time, the three of us are hiding our identities."

Jiang Dai didn't speak for a long time. He looked at Chen Nian. This was the child he had single-handedly raised in the past 18 years. He witnessed Chen Nian's birth. He raised his head for the first time, learned to crawl, stood up, and yelled "mama" vaguely. .

He is the person who knows Chen Nian best, and he also knows that the young man who tried his best to persuade him will not give up so easily.

"I don't want you to be blind." Chen Nian's voice dropped, "Especially you never told me before that the scars on your eyes and body were all for saving me."

Jiang Dai: "You know everything about that year."

"Not only did I know what happened in the Chen family, but I also went to my father's former residence in the Invalides and slept in his room overnight."

Chen Nian paused, and said softly: "You have not told me your identity all this time, there must be your considerations, and I will not ask any more questions, let alone blame you. But no matter what, I hope You can listen to me on this matter, and go to the top floor to heal your eyes."

What happened in the past month was also a test for Jiang Dai.

On the first day when the abnormality appeared, he actually felt it. After all, he was a child raised by himself. Before that, even if Chen Nian had slight fluctuations in mood, Jiang Dai could detect it.

During that time, he was very disturbed, especially because Chen Ci ran out early in the morning every day and didn't come back until night after playing.

Although Jiang Dai has been wandering in the underground city, he has tried his best to collect information about the White Pagoda and the royal family for more than ten years. He knows what kind of image the "only son of the Chen family" who is the princess and concubine is in many rumors, and what kind of life he is living. life.

And the character shown in the statement is indeed confirming those rumors.

How could he not feel distressed?He clearly witnessed the birth of the two children more than ten years ago, but they grew up in completely different appearances on the top floor and in the dungeon of the same beacon.

Chen Ci has the most favorable material conditions, but he is far less happy than Chen Nian. Jiang Dai sees the fake smile that Chen Ci forcibly pulls out to pretend, and there is only unspeakable sourness in his heart.

Things are developing in a direction that Jiang Dai has never thought of. If such a bold move of swapping identities is discovered one day, what kind of shock will it cause?

Jiang Dai didn't know, he only knew that he was old, he became timid and worried, while the two children were moving closer to where their hearts were, whether they were brave or reckless, at least Until now, they have no regrets and are happy.

Jiang Dai was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "I need to think about it."

Chen Nian was refreshed for a while, since Jiang Dai said so, it meant there was something going on.

"Okay, you must think about it carefully, and I will take you to see more places in the future." He finally smiled again, "After you think about it, I will tell Shafele immediately and let him send you to the city as soon as possible." Take it up."

Jiang Dai: "Okay, go and rest."

Chen Nian hummed, he dragged his extra heavy backpack and returned to his room, Chen Ci packed the room in order before leaving for the trip.

Chen Nian sat down on the bed, fell backwards, and spread out into a big character.

His small bedroom can't compare with the luxurious suite in the palace, but it is the most cozy place.

During this week, he didn't have to go out to work, and it happened to be able to avoid being checked by Donald's people, so he just stayed at home to draw and practice mental power.

Chen Nian put on loose home clothes, lay down on the floor, and took out a box containing small mushrooms from under the bed.

It has not been used for three weeks, so it is better to charge it first.

As soon as he plugged in the little mushroom, the terminal on his wrist vibrated.

Chen Nian glanced at it, it was news from Fu Tianhe.

Fu Tianhe sent a photo of a hand wearing a rubber glove, and a wet dog. The surrounding ground and walls were splashed with water.

Is Fu Tianhe bathing Da Congming?

Chen Nian didn't know how to reply to Fu Tianhe. When we met, he specifically asked the statement what to do in this situation. The statement just said to reply normally.

Brother and Fu Tianhe should still be just ordinary friends, but after all, the two have just finished their journey together and have experienced many thrilling things, so they can't be too indifferent.

Chen Nian stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then replied: 【Thank you. 】

Then he forwarded the photo to the statement.

After the little mushroom was charged, Chen Nian temporarily put the box into the drawer. At this moment, the terminal vibrated again.

He thought it was from Fu Tianhe, so he didn't rush to read it. After finishing the work at hand, he opened the terminal and found that it was another person.

An account named "."

Chen Nian recognized this "." from the profile picture as Shaffley.

Not long ago, in order to help Chen Ci deal with Paganini or Panini, Shaffley added his terminal friend, but Chen Nian did not expect that Chen Ci would give Shaffley such a note.

Guessing that my brother felt that it was impossible to write Shaffley's real name, and couldn't think of what to use to refer to it, he just typed a symbol randomly.

Chen Nian couldn't help but want to laugh, he clicked on the chat box, and Shaffley asked him if he was home.

【It's already here, and I told Uncle Jiang about the medical treatment at the top, he thought about it. 】

[I and Chen Ci have also arrived. 】

Shaffley raised his head, Chen Shi was visiting his new residence in the palace.

Regarding the need to move from the White Tower to the Imperial Palace, the statement has no objection, anyway, it is the same wherever he lives, and his range of activities in the Imperial Palace can be much larger.

It is also convenient to discuss things because I live next door to Shafele.

"This is the new terminal I prepared for you." Shafele handed Chen Nian the terminal that Chen Nian had placed in advance, "Remember to turn off the smart housekeeper before using it."

In response to the speech, Shaffley said again: "Chen Nian is now studying culture with a private teacher, and has decided to develop in the direction of natural history painting. I have already asked him for leave this week. You were in Bai Those lessons in the tower—"

"No, I don't want to take any class now."

Shaffley nodded, and this was the first time that the statement clearly expressed the meaning of refusal.You must know that for a long time, Chen Ci has been habitually silent when encountering things he does not want to do, and never speaks out directly like this.

good thing.

"Let's go have dinner together later, you have a good rest in the afternoon, and you have to go to their concert in the evening."

Chen Ci and Shaffley left the bedroom together and went to the restaurant for dinner.

After the meal, he took a lunch break as usual. Chen Nian lived quite comfortably during the three weeks here. The smart butler of the palace is not like the one in the White Tower. 03.

He sat on the bed for a while, the darkness in the bedroom reminding him of an abandoned tent at night in the suburbs.

The blindfold and earplugs were in the bag, and they were carried back by Chen Nian. The plush bear was placed on Chen Nian's bed. Speaking of which, he didn't seem to bring any souvenirs from his trip, and the only badge was given to Shaffley as a gift. birthday present.

After delivering the statement for more than ten minutes, he returned to the place where he was supposed to be, turned down all the classes, and was actually a bit idle.

He turned off the smart housekeeper, took the new terminal, and saw the photo Chen Nian forwarded to him.

Fu Tianhe was bathing Da Congming.

Chen Ci stared at the photo motionlessly, like a statue sitting on a bed, his body sunk in misty darkness, only the light of the terminal screen illuminated his calm face, his eyes were as empty as ever—no, in them In the deepest part, something seems to be conceived.

After an unknown amount of time, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Chen Ci raised his head slowly. He got off the bed with bare feet, walked to the window, and opened the heavy curtains himself.

The warm afternoon sun shone on his face, causing Chen Ci to squint his eyes.

——He needs a good rest this week, just in time to make a more rigorous and thorough plan for the next exchange.

For the next 21 days, he wanted to go up to Moonlight.

The concert of noble Omegas will start at 07:30.

Chen Ci walked into the hall, and it was no surprise that he became the focus of many eyes.

In addition to the astonishing beauty that appeared in the classic oil paintings of teenagers, it was also because he was surrounded by three royal bodyguards dressed in black, which made him appear more delicate and beautiful against the backdrop.

Someone in the corner let out a low voice of disdain: What a grand gesture.

"Your Royal Highness." The person in charge of organizing the concert was named Kagel, and from Shaffley's mouth, Chen Yi learned that he was Lu Heng's friend.Cagle came over with a smile, pretending to be pleasantly surprised, "I didn't expect His Highness to come—"

Chen Ci glanced at him calmly, not understanding why he was surprised: "Didn't you invite me?"

Cagle choked up, unable to speak because of the statement, and could only laugh awkwardly: "Of course we invited His Highness, and it is our honor that His Highness is willing to come."

Chen Ci's words are not like Chen Nianmian hiding a needle in his eyes or hiding a knife in his smile. Most of the time, he is straightforward.

Another manifestation of lack of emotion is that his emotional intelligence is extremely low. From a very young age, he was not very good at speaking, and often offended people without realizing it. Over time, in order to avoid this situation, he simply kept his mouth shut. , has become the silent appearance of today.

If you don't speak, you won't make a mistake.

Chen Ci took a glance and saw that there were many musical instruments on the stage in the hall, and many people were already auditioning. Almost all the people present were Omega, and many of them should have met Chen Nian.

But the statement couldn't match these unfamiliar faces with the text descriptions in the diary.

From the moment he entered the door, Chen Ci finalized the plan for tonight, and ran away immediately after the performance. Anyway, he didn't intend to find friends here, and he didn't need these so-called friends.

Chen Ci came alone, and Chen Nian suggested that he and Gui Zhiqi go together so that he wouldn't be alone if something happened to him, but Chen Ci didn't think it was necessary and would waste his time.

Carol said again: "Your Highness, the concert will start soon. You are today's honored guest. Would you like to honor the honor and come to the first one?"

Someone took the opportunity to chime in: "Yes, everyone has heard that your musical attainments are very high, and today I have the opportunity to appreciate it."

In the face of these hypocritical compliments, Chen Ci was indifferent, and said lightly: "You guys come first, I will rest for a while."

After finishing speaking, he sat down on his own, brought a clean plate, and picked a few pieces of fruit. Three bodyguards stood beside and behind him professionally, firmly protecting the statement.

The person who tries to make a statement is thus a clown.

The corners of Carol's lips twitched twice, and he decided to shut up for now.

...This statement obviously didn't say anything too much, why does it feel so choking?
