    Chapter 73 Old Friends (3)

    I don't know when to start, or maybe don't need a serious start. Excessive racial power differences naturally determine social thinking.

    Under the impression of this era, the new human beings must be elites and strong protectors; the disabled human beings are weak adherents, accepting the protection of new human beings for life.

    Audrey and Diana's "blindfolded magic" originated by accident.

    Affected by the vortex of infighting in the family, the sisters fled the Aslan Star City with their mother when they were young, and spent several years incognito and wandering in the Eternal Paradise Star City in the second galaxy.

    This also caused the ambiguity of information. In Aslan's upper circle, people at most only knew that the next bloodline continuation of the Lance family was a new human and a disabled human.

    The turmoil will not last. When everything settles down, the new human beings will inherit the family's glory; while the disabled human beings will be raised in the mansion and become a golden branch that envy others.

    ——This is the understanding that everyone should take for granted.

    Sure enough, the family infighting subsided after a few years.

    However, when the sisters were about to be taken back to the imperial capital, Diana's character deficiencies were exposed... Born on the road to escape, she was soft-spoken, timid, lacking in communication skills, and didn't know anything about the family's traditional trade affairs. .

    Also rightfully, the father's scolding begins to fall on the cowardly girl.

    "Idiot." "Trash." "Rats are braver than you."

    "You have to learn to be strong."

    "Aren't you still a new human!?"

    Ruthless demands, index finger pointing to the nose, contemptuous eyes of disappointment, sharp words.

    "Alas, this child has been completely abandoned."

    "Not even her sister."

    "The ancestors are above, what will Lance do in the next hundred years?"

    Day after day, the sun rises and the moon sets. Diana still only cried, her voice hoarse and her eyes swollen.

    Helplessly and helplessly, she tugged at the corner of her skirt, crying and shrinking herself into a small... the most humble little ball in order to hide in the shadows.

    Until that night, my sister cut off her long silver hair.

    A handful of strands of hair fell to the ground, reflecting the desolate moonlight of the Star City in Yongyuan Paradise, like a frost in the sky.

    "Just because Diana is a new human, will she be deprived of her weak qualifications!?"

    "I don't agree, such a thing... it's as absurd as discriminating against a disabled human being."

    The elder sister pulled the younger sister out of the shadows, dragged her into her arms, and kissed her tears.

    "My Diana can never be brave, can never be strong."

    Two pairs of white silk gloves are tonight's present. They have since wandered under the gaze of thousands of people in the Empire, quietly performing a dangerous and fascinating magic.

    "Because from tonight, she will have a brother."

    ...

    The winter wind blows through the years, blowing through the night sky that has remained unchanged for many years in Aslan. Looking down from the Lance family's mansion, the thousands of lights in this bustling star city have become insignificant.

    Jiang Jianming put his hands on the railing of the terrace, feeling the cold wind blowing across his cheeks.

    He took a deep breath, his eyes fell on his black gloves, and he said calmly: "But Audrey... our disguise is just a compromise to the world."

    Jiang Jianming turned his head and looked at the head of the Lance family who was walking towards him.

    Audrey held a graceful and thick dress coat in her hand, draped it over his thin shoulders, and frowned: "Are you used to being frozen in Alpha Alien? You don't even know it's cold anymore."

    Jiang Jianming took advantage of the situation and held Audrey's wrist, "...When can you take off your gloves and walk in broad daylight, and walk in front of the people and raise your arms and shout, that's when the crystalless race is truly liberated."

    Audrey was silent, standing beside him on the patio, looking down.

    Jiang Jianming: "Yinbeidou advocates strength. Although it will be a bit difficult to walk at the beginning, as long as I can achieve actual results, I will be accepted very quickly."

    "But the empire is different. It is peaceful and prosperous here, but the invisible resistance is even greater. Your road is no less difficult than mine."

    Audrey lowered her eyes and said slowly, "I know. I also heard about the proposal to let disabled humans pilot mechas, and the upper echelons are already paying attention."

    "There are a lot of sarcastic voices, but some people think that even if it is impractical to let the disabled people go to the distant interstellar to deal with alien creatures, but in the empire with a low concentration of crystal particles, join the Golden Sun Wheel and the rest of the imperial legion to deal with those A wandering thief is completely feasible."

    "Let's see the discussion at the next meeting, the commander-in-chief and His Majesty's opinion. I think there is a great chance of passing."

    "It's you. Only you can think of such a thing." Audrey turned her head and looked at her best friend brightly, "...Thank you, Jiang."

    "No thanks, if I didn't help me, I wouldn't be able to go to the distant stars."

    Jiang Jianming couldn't help but frowned and smiled, and closed the collar of his jacket, "In a few years... um, when I get better, I will definitely return the money to you."

    Audrey's face sank immediately: "Ginger!"

    Jiang Jianming hurriedly ran: "Ah, I should go, I have an appointment with someone next."

    He quickly shoved the expensive coat back into Audrey's arms, and regardless of the other party's insistence to "send you off", he returned to the room and grabbed his cotton-padded coat, "Diana? I'm leaving, I will listen to your brother in the future... "

    Audrey was both angry and funny. She looked at Diana and burst into tears instantly. She reluctantly grabbed Jiang Jianming's arm, and was mercilessly torn off by the latter.

    "do you know."

    When she sent Jiang Jianming out of the door, she said, "I'm very happy tonight, I've wanted to do something like this for a long time. But you have always resisted appearing in this kind of situation before. This is the first time that you have walked in front of everyone's attention. into our banquet room."

    Jiang Jianming hesitated.

    He did have a lack of interest in this kind of upper-level entertainment, coupled with the "underground romance" with Ryan - of course, after Ryan's sacrifice, it became to cover up the existence of the "underground romance" - for the aristocratic haunted On occasions, he avoided more than ordinary people.

    Audrey: "Jiang, is it the situation that the empire is about to come, has you made some changes in your thinking?"

    Jiang Jianming shook his head: "I don't know, Audrey... I haven't thought about many things myself."

    He looked beyond the window to the night sky, and suddenly saw fine snow falling from the clouds. This was the first snow in the imperial capital this winter.

    Snow……

    The black-haired youth squinted in silence, Xue reminded him of the cold alien star and the steel fortress standing in the alien star.

    Then think of mecha, gunpowder and blood, battlefield, victory and defeat, and death... and the heroic monument in the ground.

    "The prosperous sun is setting, and in the cold night before it rises again, we have an uphill battle to fight."

    He remembered that Xie Yuduo knelt down on one knee in front of him, holding his hand as if taking an oath.

    "You have infinite possibilities, the point is whether you want it or not, little lord."

    The two walked out from the side door of the mansion. From here, you can see the brand-name aircraft that keep taking off at the main entrance from a distance, carrying the nobles who finished the dinner party and rushing to the airway in mid-air.

    Audrey: "Where do you live, the military academy? From District 4 to District 3, it will cost hundreds of dollars to order an aircraft. At least let me ask for this, okay?"

    Jiang Jianming: "Ah no... I rented a self-service public aircraft and drove it myself. It's 78 coins. Do you want to invite me? Then give me the wrist phone."

    "..."

    Audrey smiled angrily, "You...you asked me to say something about you!"

    The officer who used the armor on the frontline of Yin Beidou, came back and rented a self-service aircraft to drive it himself in order to save the dozen or so points... It can be said as a joke, that is, the person in front of him.

    "You've been living like this, why don't you let me help you more? Do you have enough sedatives, enough bullets, are you reluctant to use the treatment cabin and medicine in the far interstellar space?"

    While talking, Audrey transferred the 78 points to Jiang Jianming with a headache.

    The latter casually touched her short hair: "Lord Audrey, is Diana unable to satisfy your desire for protection?"

    Audrey glared: "Don't pat me on the head, I'm not Diana and your palace..."

    She suddenly realized something, closed her mouth and pursed her lips, before saying, "...Sorry."

    Jiang Jianming calmly rubbed her again.

    "It's ok."

    Before parting, Jiang Jianming and Audrey passed by.

    He suddenly paused for a second, turned his head, and said quickly in a low voice beside her ear:

    "...The prince will not be you, nor will it be Lauren."

    Audrey's pupils trembled slightly, and she turned to look at her best friend.

    I saw Jiang Jianming's back, wrapped in a black cotton coat, step by step into the snow curtain and the lights of the street, without looking back.

    That figure quickly disappeared into the neon color.

    ...

    Snow is a little thicker.

    Jiang Jianming walked to the other end of the street, and saw that there were too many aircrafts here, and the moment he got up, he would be stuck in traffic. It is impossible for him to take the express air route with double the money like those rich people. The wiser choice is to go to the next intersection and rent an aircraft.

    He looked at the intersection of the snow in front of him and suddenly lost his mind.

    Perhaps it was Audrey's last unintentional gaffe that reminded him of the good memories of the past. He remembered that there would be a hidden shade of trees on this street corner, where Ryan had held him with a crystal bone.

    ...that was their reunion after the fifty-second day of separation.

    His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is always busy with affairs, especially when it comes to expedition to the interstellar space in person, he will lose contact for ten days and a half months after he leaves.

    But once Ryan came back, he would definitely come to see him first. The estimated return time will be sent to his wrist by His Royal Highness along with the news of the victory.

    This led to a funny result: he learned about the military situation even sooner than the Imperial Army received an official good news.

    Looking back, the memories of those reunions are as unreal as dreams.

    If it was early in the morning, he would buy two breakfasts and wait for his triumphant lover to come to him with the light of the sunrise.

    If he catches up with his class in the military academy, he will not hesitate to skip class and come out to meet his little highness, and listen to that person tell about the thrilling stories of this battle.

    If it was evening, he would take a book and go to the small hotel to rent a room, and read the book slowly under the quiet lamp, waiting for the knock on the door.

    But if it's late at night, he won't wait. At eleven o'clock he would go to bed on time, and he would sleep until midnight, when someone would climb into his bed like a large beast and hug him...

    Taking advantage of the night to bite his earlobe, he said in a low-mellow and gentle voice in his ear, "It's me, I'm back."

    And he can laugh and turn over, find a comfortable position in his lover's arms, rub first, and then continue to sleep on the basis of sleepiness.

    But that time was different.

    It was also winter, and Ryan left for the expedition. This time the battle situation seemed to be a little anxious, and the original return date was postponed again and again.

    After several missed appointments, Jiang Jianming was only worried about the situation on the front line. Ryan had already tortured himself to the point of anxiety, and the tone of apology became more and more self-blame.

    Jiang Jianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Your Highness, don't report your return date. Come back and give me a surprise."

    Another four or five days passed. On this day, he came to accompany Diana to read the research materials, and he did not leave until the evening.

    He just came to this corner, when suddenly there was a little golden-red shimmer in the shadow next to him, and the next moment he was hugged by the crystal bone.

    He took two steps in the air, and his back fell into a warm and firm embrace.

    Ryan almost put away the crystal bone in a panic, wrapped his arms around him, and said repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

    His Royal Highness guiltily rubbed his lips against his cheek: "I miss you so much, I couldn't help it, are you scared? Jiang... I'm sorry, forgive me."

    ...As the owner of a super S Grade crystal bone, Ryan Kaios has the ultimate control over the crystal particles in his body.

    For Jiang Jianming, even if His Highness wrapped him whole with a crystal bone, he would not feel uncomfortable.

    But Ryan was still reluctant to release the crystal bone in front of him, because that would mean an insurmountable power gap between the two.

    His power is too strong, and he is naturally tyrannical and aggressive. Even an ordinary new human being will instinctively fear in front of such a crystal bone... He is afraid that his power will threaten his weak lover.

    Even Jiang Jianming never mind.

    ...

    In front of the familiar corner, Jiang Jianming's boots stepped on the dead leaves, making a soft sound.

    In the winter night, he closed his eyes and lowered his head and sighed, white mist spread out between his lips.

    His innate character and acquired experience determined that he would not grieve for a long time.

    But every time he was immersed in his memories, he felt that he was walking in the old days, as if he was about to turn into a speck of dust and be blown away in the years.

    Just like the day before leaving for Yin Beidou, Jiang Jianming was walking alone on the street he once walked side by side with Ryan.

    Whenever he recalled, he felt that he was no longer complete, and his soul flew away from his body along the obsession that could not be escaped, trying to follow his lover.

    But his lover no longer exists in any corner of this world.

    So in the past three years, his soul no longer belongs to any corner of this world.

    The wind blew a snow particle and landed on the eyelashes, blurring his vision.

    Jiang Jianming raised his eyes and walked calmly into the shade of the tree.

    Changes in the outside world can awaken him.

    For example, the female clerk who looked down on him on West Galaxy Street that day. For example, next, there will be no lover at this corner.

    He will rent a private aircraft by himself, drive from District 4 back to the military academy in District 3, and then...

    In the shadow of the corner of the eye, a golden-red shimmer flashed suddenly.

    "—!"

    Jiang Jianming's pupils shrank, the next moment an irresistible force came from his waist, and his feet were suspended in the air.

    The hard crystal bone directly picked him up and pushed him towards the familiar embrace behind him.

    Snowflakes flickered across the corners of his wide-open eyes.

    "ginger."

    Jiang Jianming was dizzy for a while, blood rushed into his brain, and he seemed to hear the crisp sound of the wall between illusion and reality being broken.

    He was numb all over, and he couldn't stand still when he landed. Fortunately, the person behind him stretched out his hands and hugged him tightly, and his platinum curly hair fell on the back of his neck.

    "—Jiang? I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

    Garcia wrapped his arms around him, looking a little guilty and a little flustered, and admitted his mistake in a low voice, "We've been separated for too long, I couldn't hold back. I just want to... want to reach out."

    He leaned over in panic to see Jiang Jianming's face, and said softly, "Are you scared? I shouldn't have touched you with a crystal bone... I'm sorry, it's my fault, there won't be a second time."

    Jiang Jianming tried his best to calm down, his heart was beating wildly, and he didn't know how he was breathing in these two or three seconds.

    But with his breathing, the soul that had been wandering for three years in the time line of death seemed to be pressed back into this lingering body a little bit.

    Also come back to this living world.

    This, alive—

    The street corners with snowfall, the peaceful and prosperous star city, the grand and vast empire.

    Overhead traffic jams of aircraft, neon lights, electronic screens, rich people languidly sitting in the backseat.

    And the person who was close at hand, accidentally lost control and hugged him with a crystal bone, so he blamed himself.

    "...Your Highness?"

    Jiang Jianming turned his face away and said softly with confirmation, "The coordinates I sent you are not here, how did you get here?"

    In the distance, the lights are dim, and it is the end of the bustling street. He saw Garcia pursed her lips, and quickly retracted the crystal bone in annoyance.

    "...Your brain is too naughty, that dog. Since you were bullied and refused to give me the coordinates that day, it started to use your wrist phone to send me real-time location... It seems that you still Didn't find it."

    Jiang Jianming: "...?"

    Seth, so you are a real dog.

    Garcia grabbed his wrist and rubbed: "Don't worry, I wore a mask, and no one was seen on the road."

    Jiang Jianming lowered his head and laughed.

    Garcia's eyes were gentle, and he rubbed his forehead with his chin, and said in a low voice, "...I was wrong just now, don't be afraid of me."

    The first gentle and first snow in Aslan Star City swelled one after another, weaving frost and white into the winter wind, and then gifting it to the world.

    Jiang Jianming frowned and said the same words as before.

    "It's ok."

    "Please feel free to treat me, I like it, don't be afraid."

    In a hidden corner, the platinum curly hair and the black shattered hair are lingering, and Garcia's fingers pass through his fingers irresistibly, the palms fit together, and the fingers are interlocked.

    Garcia leaned down, the prince closed his eyes, and the curled eyelashes were comfortable and soft.

    thump...

    Jiang saw the beating of Ming's heart, and it was another beat.

    Shadows fell, necks staggered.

    Jiang Jianming's shoulders sank slightly.

    Garcia's chin rested on his shoulder. This time it was a positive hug, His Royal Highness's arm slipped, wrapped around his waist, and hugged him contentedly.

    "you……"

    Jiang Jianming smiled silently, bending his lips slightly, looking a little complicated.

    He raised his hand and stroked Garcia's back: "Okay, okay, which lost pet is so clingy as soon as we meet?"

    "Let's go, let's go to my alma mater. It seems that I'm going to hide His Royal Highness tonight... By the way, can you fly an aircraft? The console is similar to a mecha."

    In fact, Jiang Jianming laughed at himself.

    Because just now, there was such a moment, in less than a tenth of a second...

    He actually felt in a trance that Garcia wanted to kiss him.

    The author has something to say: #The new humans who can't control the crystal bone can't do it#

    #All crystal bones are out of control and it's really not good to just hug you#

    #Dogs who don't knock CP are not good brains#

    #I can be single but my masters must be HE#
