lyra sleepless

People often have a misunderstanding of You's eldest son, "Another You Bushu of Lyra", who is sincere and loyal.Indeed, You Zheng is a complete copy of You Buju from a biological point of view, but he is not a child with a healthy growth environment.

Before he was three years old, he was confined in a starship with nothing to do, and the worst thing was that he was still precocious.

Some things are irreparable. In places where no one can see, Youzheng's ability to be emotional is basically fixed at the age of three. He can't fall in love with this continuous, changing, and colorful world like a normal person. Swimming, diverting, diluting or converging like liquids.That was not what he saw at the beginning of his life.

You Zheng's parents, the two most powerful men in this constellation, have tried their best to do this, but the emperor is not a god, so he can't just wave his hand and create a universe for his children.

Qi Zhiwen bent down and covered his eyes, and said softly, "Ah Zheng, guess what I want to show you?"

There was the soft cry of animals, Qi Zhiwen let go of You Zheng, took a fluffy little squirrel in his hand, and handed it to him: "Isn't it cute, can you give it a name?"

You Zheng hugged the squirrel with some difficulty, watched it arch its neck, slowly put its head on the fine-textured artificial fur, and said softly, "It's called Xiao Mian."

Qi Zhiwen exited the room lightly, while You Zheng was still lying on the soft carpet, taking out candy from his trousers pocket for the squirrel to lick.

"You can't make these toys for him anymore." You Bushu sighed and put his hands around his shoulders. "You Zheng can't pin your feelings on fake machines."

Qi Zhiwen was slightly frightened, then turned his face sullenly, and asked, "What should we do then? He is only two years old, and he needs to know what the normal world is like. It's not just mom and dad, and the empty cabin." .”

You Bushu was silent for a while: "What he wants to know is all things that can change, life that can die, and human beings who can't help themselves, not what parents can get him whatever he wants, always fluffy. The rabbit and the artificial flowers that never wither, he has to learn to lose."

Qi Zhiwen straightened his back, pursed his lips and said, "He is the emperor's son, he can get whatever he wants, he doesn't need to understand that."

As soon as the words came out, both of them froze.In the end, it was Qi Zhiwen who broke the silence, and said with a smile: "Ha, I was confused for a while, with Marshal You around, Qi Zhiwen will soon become a king of subjugation."

He took two steps back, his eyes were still fixed on Youbushu, his dark pupils shook slightly: "How you teach your son has nothing to do with me then."

"A Nian!" You Bushu shouted, eagerly stepped forward to hold his wrist, Qi Zhiwen was about to shake him off, when You Zheng's small voice came from behind.

"Are you guys arguing?" He asked with his face up while hugging the squirrel.You Zheng was still too young, so that when he got close to You Bushu he didn't notice it.

"No," You Bushu said in a very soft tone, as if he was afraid that the vibration of the sound waves would knock You Zheng down. It's hard to imagine that he was going to cruelly confiscate all his son's toys just now. He held Qi Zhiwen's shoulder firmly with one hand , picked up his son easily with one hand, "We didn't quarrel."

You Zheng's clear eyes looked at You Bushu, and then turned to Qi Zhiwen, Qi Zhiwen very cooperatively showed a "nothing happened" smile.You Zheng let go of his hand suddenly, and the robotic squirrel fell to the ground, making a "chichi" sound and quickly ran away.

"I don't want Xiao Mian anymore." He said succinctly, "I only want Mom and Dad."

"Okay." You Bushu hugged them both tightly and said.

"So can I sleep with you tonight?"

It was Ye Youzheng who held each hand firmly, and refused to let go even when his palms were sweating.

Qi Zhiwen couldn't help it at first, turned sideways and pinched You Zheng's waist and lifted him up: "Baby, let go, you can't sleep like this."

"Mom, are you fake?" a low voice in the dark.

"Of course not." Qi Zhiwen replied amusedly.

"Then will I lose you?"

Qi Zhiwen paused, stroked his forehead hair, and said softly, "No."

You Zheng didn't fall asleep all night, which frightened You Bushu and Qi Zhiwen. This pair of parents, who are used to being the only one, never dared to talk about life and death in front of You Zheng.But what is lost and what is beyond human power, this lesson was finally taught by Qi Zhiwen himself.

In the 23-year short life of Chief of Staff You, the only blemish was when Wan disappeared when he was eight years old and was invited by his parents.

This nearly perfect student left the history class straight away. When the teacher passionately praised his father's achievements in the Hundred Years War, it was so unexpected that no one made a sound amidst the shock, watching You Zheng walk out peacefully In the classroom, he paused and looked sideways coldly.

Su Se was the first to react, jumped up from her seat and rushed out to grab You Zheng's hand.By the time everyone woke up like a dream, the two children had long since disappeared.

Leaving a mess all over the place, the school sent people to search for it for several hours, but there was no result. How could it bear the responsibility of losing the two little ancestors?

Su Se stood under the tree with his face upturned, his long hair reflected golden, and he shouted, "Ah Zheng, come down!"

There was a slight rustling sound among the leaves, and You Zheng replied with a not too strong nasal voice: "Don't shout, I want to stay by myself for a while."

If he didn't say anything, Su Se became angry when he heard this, and it was rare for him to comfort others with good intentions, but You Zheng actually said that he didn't need it!

He couldn't tolerate You Zheng's neediness, so he stepped forward and kicked the tree to make sure it was stable enough, and quickly climbed up the trunk with hands and feet.You Zheng was in a daze when a small golden head popped out from under his feet. He was stunned, sighed, and moved himself to give Suser half a branch.

Su Se poked his head to look at him, and asked seriously, "What's the matter with you?"

You Zheng didn't look at him, but just looked at You Yun in the distance: "I know who my mother is."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Su Se leaned close to him and asked in confusion.

"Mom is gone." He lowered his head, letting thin tears pool in his eyes so that they wouldn't fall. "They all say that Dad is a hero, but he can't even protect my mother."

Su Se was at a loss for words, and said cautiously: "Your father wants to save the country. He is very busy, so he has no time to protect your mother. He must not have done it on purpose."

"He is," a tear still fell in grievance, and You Zheng held it in his palm, and it disappeared quickly.Suther quickly turned her head away, pretending she didn't see it.

At this time, You Zheng straightened his shoulders suddenly, and said word by word: "I don't want to be like him. He doesn't want a mother for the sake of the country." He stretched out his hand and counted on his fingers: "Mom is gone. As long as my father and brother are here, the others have nothing to do with me."

"No!" Su Se held his wrist, pressed another finger forcefully, and said confidently: "I am not someone else, you have to care about me!"

You Zheng smiled at him, let him shake his hand obediently, and said, "Okay."

The children's legs were protruding from the canopy, shaking constantly. You Bushu stood far away, turned his face to the adjutant behind him and said, "It's okay, you go back first."

The adjutant hesitated and said, "Shouldn't you take them back to school for class?"

"If he doesn't want to, he can't, History," You Bushu smiled, "There's nothing real."

"You have a meeting this afternoon."

"See those people robbing the military budget and throwing guns at each other and throwing guns at the table? Just tell me the result of the quarrel," You Bushu rubbed his forehead and said, "I want to be here with my son today."

The adjutant walked a long way and saw You Bushu standing in the same place, straight and motionless. The kindergarten that had been demolished for many years was very empty, only the tree in the far corner, and the voice of a child came faintly, he said in his heart , How can I accompany my son like this.

Later, when You Jing was gone, You Zheng didn't look very sad on the outside.He was the first person to know the news of You Jing's death. After the accident, he secretly rushed to the riverside base and stayed in the ward for half a month.At that time, he already knew in his heart that his brother would not survive, but he still waited until You Jing's pulse stopped in his palm.

He trembled, and gently put his cold hands back on You Jing's chest, raised his eyes and asked, "JEZZ, can we start?"

The therapeutic device in the ward suddenly made a soft electric sound similar to a sigh, and then said, "You Zheng, it's too late to stop now."

"There is nothing to regret." You Zheng said calmly, "The You family cannot lose a son at this juncture."

The ward is gradually shrouded in the light emitted by the atoms in the excited state, and the energy required for soul transfer is continuously transmitted to the human body on the bed.You Zheng walked out and walked into the empty courtyard. The entire base hospital had been sealed off by his subordinates. The soldiers turned their backs to face each other, and no one saw the bright white light that was getting hotter and higher inside the building.

It wasn't until the bright light disappeared that You Zheng said to the personal system on his wrist: "Tell my father, Xiao Jing has woken up." He still stared at the ward, motionless.

Soon You Bushu took the initiative to contact him for the first time, and he didn't care that officers are not allowed to connect to private communications when they are performing official duties-this rule was set by You Shuai himself back then, and his voice could not conceal the joy and ecstasy : "Is Xiao Jing okay?"

"Very good, except for the trauma, he is almost recovered now." There was no false element in You Zheng's tone, "He is too weak now, I will take him back to Orpheus in a few days."

There was a weeping sound from the other end of the communication, vaguely mixed with the syllables of people's names, it was hard to imagine that it was You Bushu who was strong and strong, no one had seen him cry.

But You Zheng understands him, understands that he stays behind closed doors all year round, and understands that he entrusts the burden of the family to his son who just graduated from the military academy. He goes crazy and grabs every trace left by Qi Zhiwen. , JEZZ, are all painkillers that are better than nothing after the desperate hero.

He knew very well that his father couldn't bear the blow of You Jing's death, he was the blood-linked parent and son of Qi Zhiwen.

But You Zheng also only has his father.

You Zheng cut off the communication, still looking like a statue, he slowly touched his face, everything went as planned, he thought he could finally shed tears now, but his eye sockets were dry and his pupils hurt , You Zheng closed his eyes, as if he didn't have the strength to look at the world again.

Until Su Se's unexpected return made him no longer feel like a dead tree, the child's angry sentence "You have to care about me" finally came true.You Zheng knew very well that they had no future, but he couldn't refuse Su Se's sly green eyes.

"I don't want to see you sad." You Zheng tightened his body, there was no smile at the corner of his mouth, but his expression was very gentle, "There is nothing worth your sadness, and neither is You Zheng."

"So you lied to me, lied to me, played me until the end, and let others say that everything I did was a joke from the very beginning?" Suser said hoarsely, "Look at me with a cold eye, okay? Funny, isn’t it ridiculous? After changing his identity, he can still play with Su in the palm of his hand, how proud, Lu Mingyang, Commander-in-Chief Lu, isn’t it?”

You Zheng took a step forward, his expression a little bewildered: "This is not my intention..."

"Your original intention was to hide from me for the rest of your life, so that You Zheng's identity would die forever. Mr. You played love games with me for a year, so you have done your best? You Zheng, what an unbearable burden I am in your eyes , to spend so much effort to get rid of it?" The corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and there was even a hint of glamour.

"I love you!" You Zheng blurted out. As soon as these words came out, the two of them were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, and then they looked at each other's faces carefully. The similar pain and nostalgia looked at each other like mirror images.

"I love you and care about you the most. I have been like this since I was very young. When you smile, there is nothing I can't do." You Zheng paused every word.

Su Se was stunned for a second, then slowly tilted her head and smiled: "It's really nice, You Zheng has never said such crazy love words before. Lu Mingyang often said in bed, you tell me, can you believe it?" ?"

His eyes moved away, and never fell on You Zheng again: "I don't take it seriously when I was a child. You don't need to take it seriously anymore. You Zheng is dead, Commander Lu, we will make a clean break without any entanglements."

When he left, a gust of wind swept through the door, carrying gray and dry fallen leaves, and fell at You Zheng's feet.

You Zheng didn't chase him out.

"I guess you are here." A low and magnetic voice sounded, making Su Se's heart tremble.

The next moment, he fell from the tree, neatly patted the broken leaves on his body, and raised his head with a smile: "It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor came in person. Why, let your half-brother be the lobbyist?"

"You Zheng didn't ask me to do this," You Jing's voice was stiff, "He is recuperating from his illness, and the old wounds from the war have not healed quickly."

Before he finished speaking, Suther's expression froze.

It is inconvenient for You Zheng to disclose his identity, and Lu Mingyang is still a second minister at the moment, with an embarrassing position and neglected by the court, not to mention that Su Se has been deliberately avoiding him recently.

He really didn't know that You Zheng was ill, so he bit his lower lip lightly, and finally choked out a sentence: "You have committed your own crimes, you must not live."

"Don't treat him like this," You Jing said, "Actually, You Zheng is more soft-hearted than anyone else. He always said that he just used me as a shield to shield You from the wind and rain. But if he hadn't surrendered first, this war would not be so It's over."

You Zheng really regarded him as his younger brother.

"Yes, he is very stupid. He believed in acting until the end, and sent you, a cheap brother, to the throne for nothing." Su Se said with a twitch of his mouth, pretending to be relaxed. "Are you happy? My little friend, at the end of this internal struggle in the Lyra constellation, we have worked so hard to help you alone, and even the sky is helping you. It's really good, it's really good, it's unintentional."

He continued to laugh indifferently: "But me, I gave up my dignity, got into this muddy water, betrayed my country and surrendered to the enemy, and served people in Israel. The two brothers lied to the bottom of it."

He put his hand on the tree trunk, groping with his slender fingers on the rough surface. Many years ago, a little boy solemnly carved "Daddy", "Little Jing" and "Suser" here, and now these names long gone.

You Jing was silent for a while, then said: "He has a last resort to do it."

Su Se shrugged and sneered, "What does it have to do with me?" But her footsteps did not move.

"At that time, my elder brother didn't expect that Helian Ding would attack during the military exercise, perhaps because Lu Mingyang expressed his loyalty to him. He was caught off guard and had to rely on JEZZ to take away Lu Mingyang's body. Because of this, He didn't make it back to Orpheus in time for what happened to his father."

When he said this, his tone gradually lowered, and he suddenly turned around and walked towards the aircraft. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "You come with me."

Su Se looked reluctant, but couldn't help but followed You Jing onto the aircraft.

The driver landed at Youjia's old house. The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the place is still in a state of rubble.

You Jing turned his head and said: "You want to know why he didn't tell you that he is still alive, why he said he doesn't care about power, but still can't get along with Helian Ding? The answer is here."

He pointed to the ruins: "JEZZ saved the souls of all the soldiers on the wrecked warship and entered it into its control center. They are equivalent to being resurrected in another world. That's why Youjia's mansion suddenly collapsed, and JEZZ didn't It didn’t go mad because of the death of its father, it still wanted to keep this secret and hide it from people’s eyes.”

"You mean..." Suser's eyes widened in disbelief.

"They are still here. If Helian is not dead, they will not be able to redress their grievances and see the light of day again. After JEZZ self-destructs, the virtual operating environment it established will also collapse, and all souls will fall into a deep sleep, unless You Zheng is in power. , can secretly create flesh for them, and let them return to the human world."

You Jing stretched out a hand, pressed Su Se's shoulder and forced him to look at him, and his eyes got a little closer: "These soldiers are all innocent, they were involved in Helian Ding's struggle against Youjia, The death is unclear. You said, You Zheng is carrying more than 1 lives, how can I reunite with you as if nothing had happened, and have a deep affection every day? My elder brother is an emotionally handicapped wood, but he is not Not heartless."

A tear was shaken by him, and the emerald green eyes almost shattered: "He... he can tell me, and I won't stop him. I will accompany him even in the mountains of swords and seas of fire."

The corners of You Jing's mouth curled up slightly, but his tone became cold: "My elder brother is very stupid, he can only put down two or three people in his heart, he cares about you, he will block the bullets coming at you from all over the world for you, and he doesn't care at all. He will consider what the other party thinks. So You Bushu was deceived by him until his death, not knowing that his youngest son is long gone. Youjia has built a reputation for the Republic for hundreds of years, but because of my fake brother, he has become a cloud of the past. You, he never thought he had the right to involve you. It's just that he didn't expect you to take the initiative to enter the game. Otherwise, according to his personality, he would rather die than provoke you again. Lu Mingyang is so sharp that he almost decided for Helian What I fear, is also to stand up for you."

His thin and sharp lips whispered softly: "It's true that You Zheng has something wrong with his brain, most people can't accept it. If you can't accept it either, then stay away from him."

Su Se didn't answer, his forehead covered his eyes, and You Jing just stared at him quietly.

In the end, he bit his lower lip, raised his head and smiled clearly: "Brother You, please lend me the aircraft."

"No," You Jing flatly refused, "I'm very busy, I'll be back to the palace right away, I'll give you a ride at most."

Su Se pursed her lips, knocked on the driver's cabin door, and said with a smile, "Please go to Commander Lu's house first..." Before he finished speaking, his movements stopped. The driver took off his helmet, and now his eyes like a cold pool It was extremely warm, as if the sun had fallen into it.

Su Se looked at her grasped wrist and asked, "Are you so sure that I won't leave you?"

You Zheng put it succinctly: "It has been confirmed since you agreed to come here."

In a word, Su Se's fists were all clenched, he looked left and right but couldn't let go, You Zheng was indeed injured, he knew it very well, and he was not willing to slap him in the face.In the end, he kicked hard on the aircraft.

"Xiao Jing's stuff." You Zheng reminded him, and he was stared at until he shut up.

"It's okay, I'll just accumulate virtue for myself." You Jing clasped his fists and said coolly behind them.

You Zheng turned his head and motioned to him, You Jing waved his hand and told him to leave quickly.

The aircraft crossed a long arc in the sky, passed through the cloud patterns like water waves, and quickly disappeared.On the ground, You Jing sat down casually, hearing the wind sneaking in from the withered grass, withered poplars, bricks and rubble.

It was the howling of the soul.

late at night.

"Chief of Staff You, can you say a few words?"

You Zheng stopped, frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Suther put her chin on his shoulder, rubbed against her sternocleidomastoid muscle, her warm breath came to her ears, her voice was soft and sly, almost floating: "Is it comfortable or not?"

After a while of silence, he raised his head in dissatisfaction and puffed his cheeks: "Commander Lu likes to talk very much."

You Zheng leaned back with one hand, letting him lean on recklessly, while explaining with difficulty: "That's just out of the need to play Lu Mingyang, and military camouflage is a compulsory part of army training..."

"Playing?" Su Se's interest was suddenly raised, his eyes were bright, he pointed to himself: "Officer." Then he pointed to You Zheng: "Captive."

Then he sat up straight with his upper body, and announced solemnly: "Now let's evaluate the performance of Chief of Staff You's military camouflage."
