"For a [-]% profit, he dares to trample on all human laws; with a [-]% profit, he dares to commit any crime, even risking death... In the end, it is money that rules capitalists , rather than capitalists directing money." You Zheng's voice was very deep, as if he was reciting a mourning speech.

"Humph," Suser smiled softly, "This is an economics paper I wrote for you before. I never knew you could remember it so clearly. I'm flattered."

"That's right, I'm a successful businessman, and there isn't a single law in Lyra that would convict people for it," he tried to sneer, but in the end it was almost like a kind of pleading, "Don't forget, we are childhood sweethearts who grew up together... ..."

"Don't deceive yourself," You Zheng interrupted him, "We separated very early and didn't meet again until high school. Maybe I don't know you as well as I thought."

Su Se seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and he said in disbelief: "I was only ten years old at the time, and it wasn't that I wanted to leave without saying goodbye. The Su family suddenly cut off ties with the You family, and instead became close to the Helian family. Is it my fault? Can be controlled! Can you accuse me of betraying you because of this, You Zheng?"

You Zheng's complexion was still as gloomy as water, and he thought about it and said, "I'm not blaming you, Su Se. It's just, the Su family, You family, Helian's family... At that time, I suddenly understood that nothing in the world is static, especially It's grown-up friendship."

Everything was right at first, and Suser's father drove them in a spaceship to meet You Bushu who had returned from the surrender ceremony.

"The troops will arrive in Orpheus tomorrow," said Suser's father, who looked exactly like him, and even had a very similar temperament. He winked at the two children, "but I think the marshal misses his son very much. crazy."

On the deck of the warship, they saw You Bushu. He didn't look very good, and he was much less energetic than when he said goodbye to You Zheng three years ago.

But You Bushu still raised You Zheng above his head as soon as they met, making him laugh rarely, then put him on the ground, and punched him: "You have grown up, my little man."

A chubby little boy of two or three years old hugged You Bushu's thigh and looked at these strangers with a pair of beautiful big eyes curiously. You Bushu picked him up and said, "You Zheng, this is your brother."

Su Se first shouted in amazement: "You Zheng, your brother looks like you!"

You Bushu patted the shoulders of the two older children: "Take him to play, but don't play tricks on my subordinates, and stay away from those buttons on the boat."

Then You Bushu turned to Su Se's father, looked at him for a while, and hugged him firmly: "Thank you, brother. On behalf of all the soldiers, thank you for your dedication to Lyra. By the way, thank you for taking care of my son."

The other party patted him on the back reassuringly, and said, "This is my duty to the country. Besides, we are family friends, aren't we?"

You Bushu let him go, and asked casually: "The last time I came back, I only knew that you were married, and I didn't have time to give you a gift. How about it, who is your wife, she must be a beauty, after all, little Susie is so beautiful."

The other party looked into his dark eyes and said, "Helian Xia."

The smile on You Bushu's face disappeared, the children were chasing on the deck, Su Se hid behind You Zheng, You Jing didn't have time to stand still, fell to the ground, then he pursed his mouth and burst into tears .

Maybe from then on, things started to change.

Later, the adults slowly started arguing, and the voices came from Youjia's study.

"I didn't expect that the elders would want to lay off the army, so you let them lay off without even fighting for it?"

"The war is over, there is nothing wrong with cutting military spending, and the people will welcome it."

"Flying birds are gone, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, and lackeys are cooking. This is just the beginning. Youjia has become a thorn in the side of the elders."

JEZZ quietly and automatically raised two cups of tea from the panel of the desk, and You Bushu took a sip: "Do whatever you want, as long as You Zheng and You Jing can grow up safely, I don't care about the rest. And, hey The Lian family has been showing favor to you recently, hasn't it? You married their family's most favored youngest daughter, and they won't touch the Su family. "

"What are you implying?" The other party raised his voice in disbelief, "I married Helian Xia, so they were willing to transfer the design and use rights of the Kehak series to the military for free! Are you going to blame me now? ?”

You Bushu said calmly, "I'm not blaming you."

"I just want to ask, fighting on the front line, where did your two sons come from? Why did everything go wrong when you came back? Once, you were the undisputed leader of our group, what did the war do You will become what you are today: burnout, passivity, anti-war, familism! Is it a woman, or something else?"

"It's none of your business."

There was a sudden loud noise, the sound of the cup being smashed on the ground and the fragments splashing.

The children who built the battleship model in the corridor were startled, and they looked at each other.Immediately, the door of the study was opened, and the sound of footsteps came. Su Se was picked up by his father and left without looking back.

He leaned on his father's shoulders, looked at You Zheng and You Jing who were still sitting on the ground, and wanted to say to his friends: "I'll come over to play tomorrow, you have to wait for me to join you!" But his father's face was as cold as ice and snow .

So, when he met You Zheng for the last time in his childhood, they didn't have time to say goodbye.

Su Se's expression was completely defeated, and he said weakly: "You accuse me of standing against you for the benefit of the family? Well, let's take a look."

He stretched out his left arm towards You Zheng, raised his slender neck slightly, almost like an elegant invitation to dance: "The personal system will not lie, if I am really planting drugs, or planning a spaceship accident , it is impossible not to leave a trace.”

It was a small piece of gold leaf sticker, a milestone in Lyra's technological leap after the war. Its hardware part was as light as a cicada's wing, but almost a person's entire life could be integrated between this slender wrist.

Even when the police are conducting case investigations, they have no right to check citizens' personal systems, but at this moment Su Se stretched out his left wrist to You Zheng.

You Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still held down his wrist, and automatically, a screen popped up in the void, showing that a password was required.

"You still use a digital password?" You Zheng asked casually, "What's the password?"

Su Se stared into his eyes, and slowly said: "24170..." Before he finished speaking, You Zheng had already completed the password skillfully, and then a warning of "wrong password" popped up.

You Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party, Su Se looked provocative: "It's not 2417006, it's 2417002."

For a moment, You Zheng was stunned, but Su Se was still staring at him, as if saying: You understand now.

2417002 is You Zheng's student number in kindergarten, and 006 is Su Se. These two numbers used to appear side by side.

You Zheng originally thought that he was the only one who still remembered, but it turned out not to be the case, the other person was also thinking about it day and night.

He couldn't help turning his head to avoid the opposite gaze, but the gaze still fell on his face like a slap, a burst of burning pain.

You Zheng carefully checked all the communication records of Su Se in the past two years, he is no longer surprised, he just said slowly: "It's not you, who could it be?"

At this time, his adjutant rushed in: "Chief of Staff, Rasimov is not in the Governor's Mansion!"
