When they arrive in the low-earth orbit of Cerberus, there will be small spaceships to welcome and guide them.The Helios opened the hatch, stretched out the long track, and docked with the guiding spacecraft.

Suther, who was one step ahead of them, appeared in Cerberus. He was dressed in a pure black windbreaker, and his platinum-blond hair was tied up and hung under the brim of his top hat. He looked very serious.

He also bowed to You Jing solemnly for the first time: "Your Excellency, please allow me to introduce to you, a wise and far-sighted official of the Republic, the Governor of Cerberus Province, Rasimov Your Excellency, he has been of great help to our combustible ice project."

Following the direction of his arm, a man with red skin, a bloated figure, and a mediocre look came over. He had an overly enthusiastic and flattering smile that is common to lower-level officials. First bowed deeply.

When he raised his head and shook hands with You Jing, his eyes glanced at Yegor next to him, his clumsy and numb expression suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, and he even forgot to move.

You Jing had no choice but to take the initiative to hold his hand, shake it and put it down.

Su Se couldn't figure it out, so he had to follow his gaze and introduce: "This is the Chief Minister of the Consulate, Your Excellency Yegor, the governor should know."

Yegor stretched out a hand, smiled very politely, and said, "It's a great honor to meet you. Without an outstanding local leader like you, the work of our Consulate would not be possible."

Rasimov suddenly held him firmly, his lips were trembling: "Okay, okay."

It wasn't until Yegor pulled out his hand awkwardly and politely that Rasimov woke up like a dream: "We will land soon, and the people of Cerberus are waiting to welcome the officers! "

Cerberus is indeed a very, very backward place. To put it in a rather sad way, it is so backward that You Jing feels a little familiar.

The gap between it and Orpheus is almost catching up with the gap between Earth and Orpheus.

But the important event of the consul's inspection is also to be broadcast live globally, not only globally, according to Suser, all the asteroid mining areas that have been developed are watching the live broadcast at the moment.

Indeed, before landing, You Jing heard waves of cheers on the ground. The endless crowd raised their arms high and raised the Lyra and Cerberus flags to express their welcome.

Due to poverty and long-term sunlight, the local residents do not have colorful heads like Orpheus. They are all dark-haired, and they can't see any face clearly.For the first time, You Jing visually experienced the meaning of the word "Qian Shou", and a kind of top-down compassion arose spontaneously, which made him feel that he must have some kind of responsibility for the people here.

When the ladder fell, the Consul appeared in people's field of vision, and the enthusiastic shouts almost overturned the spaceship that had just landed.

You Jing waved to the crowd below, and asked Yegor in a low voice: "Am I particularly handsome?"

Yegor couldn't kick him directly because he was in public. He didn't even roll his eyes and turned his head away silently.

You Jing still asked and answered happily: "Handsome is inevitable, and the world-recognized No.1 most handsome face in the Lyra constellation in a thousand years is me!"

Yegor couldn't help asking him, "When did you have such an honor?"

You Jing's shamelessness is justified: "You Bushu won the election in the first year after the war. Don't you know that he is famous? Doesn't he and I have the same face?"

There was a black line on Yegor's forehead. At this moment, the live broadcast screen switched from You Jing's face to a close-up of him. His long flaxen-colored curly hair was gently fluttering in the high-altitude wind, and his gray-blue eyes Under the glare of the sun, it was as bright as polar ice and snow, and even had a mocking expression on it.

The crowd froze, and then broke out into crazier shouts, they even shouted Yegor's name.

Yegor smiled slightly, tilted his head and said to You Jing: "The light of immigration, everyone expects it. I'm really sorry for stealing your limelight."

He bowed slightly, signaling the consul to pass first, You Jing snorted, bumped into Yegor on purpose, and strode down.

Yegor took the opportunity to kick his calf from behind.

Although there were guards maintaining order, the excited people continued to reach out, trying to touch the consul and the secretary general.It was only when we got closer that we realized that although people were all wearing their most appropriate clothes, some of them even wore the special clothes of their hometowns, with undisguised expressions of excitement on their faces, the obvious heavy daily work made them All have thick, dark limbs, withered backs and tired faces.

Whether on Earth or in Orpheus, You Jing has never been lacking in material things.People who have not experienced the hardships of life are particularly easy to soften their hearts, which directly caused You Jing to almost cry himself when he delivered a speech.

"I didn't expect that the speech I wrote was so contagious that it made His Excellency the Consul shed tears. I'm flattered." Until dinner, Yegor stirred a small bowl of steaming soup with a spoon while still Laugh at him.

You Jing stared at him with swollen eyes: "It has nothing to do with you! The people of Cerberus are too enthusiastic."

Yegor snorted coldly: "Don't be moved by yourself, baby, no matter where the people are, they have nothing to do with simplicity, especially immigrants. If you don't understand this, you will suffer a lot."

You Jing was about to refute him, when there was a knock on the door, and then Raximov came in, he bowed first, and then said: "Although Cerberus is a place of bitter cold, the fish in the frozen lake are very Delicious, the consul and the secretary-general can taste it."

The unwritten rule of the Consulate is that if you come to this kind of immigrant-concentrated and economically backward area, all the food for the consul must be brought by Orpheus, but Rasimov is too cautious, so You Jing said: "Thank you , Your Excellency Governor, why don't you come and have dinner together."

Rasimov did sit down, and he stared at Yegor so eagerly that the other stared back slightly displeased.

Rasimov obviously noticed this too, and he smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, your curly hair is very similar to my wife. In the border areas, it is rare to see people with curly hair. I once thought, if we To have a child, maybe he will have lovely curly hair."

"Yes, give my regards to your wife," Yegor replied.

"She died very early, while I was in the army. It was not long after the war."

You Jing put down the tableware in his hand: "Were you also a soldier?"

"Yes, I joined the army before the war was over. I once saw Marshal You Bushu from a distance during the military parade. You look very much like him, Your Excellency the Consul."

You Jing smiled slightly: "You and your wife are both worthy of admiration."

Then Rasimov stopped talking, and he kept looking at Yegor's long hair with that kind of pitiful eyes.

He wanted to say, Master Yegor, I actually still have a photo of you when you were young.
