Chapter 245 Softly Saying Goodbye and Going (5)
It is said to be dormant, but in fact, several people know it in their hearts. With Jiang Jianming's current situation, there is no essential difference between him and his death.
That tiny little hope was not so much for the commander-in-chief, but for those who were left behind.
Even Jiang Jianming said to Lin Ge: "Just lie to him and coax him."
"When he accepts my departure, it will be fine to bury me."
No matter what happened in the future, Jiang Jianming finally enjoyed a short idle time after catching Ryan from the laboratory.
The weather in the last few days was fine, and he was lucky to sit by the window and bask in the sun.
Jiang Jianming stopped worrying about other things. He and His Majesty were sitting by the flower shade and talking, sorting out the written books in the study. When he was in better spirits, he played with Seth who had just taken over. When he was tired, he let Ryan hold him and sleep in the afternoon sun.
all good.
It's just that Le'an's mood has been unstable, Jiang Jianming wondered if His Majesty had been turned on by some inexplicable switch-cry at every turn!
This person was not like this before. He was obviously proud and cold-hearted, and he refused to cry as a gesture of weakness.
Well now, he wants to leave a last word, His Majesty lies on his bare brain and does not let him write; He said that he will be ready to sleep tomorrow, and His Majesty immediately hugged him and whimpered. Swallow, say wait, wait, wait...
Jiang Jianming: "."
He seemed to understand. It's true that Ryan is sad, but 80% of them also use this to restrain him, tsk, scheming...
Originally, I gave in because I saw that His Majesty was crying so pitifully, but instead, I was taken care of.
"Oh, alright, alright..."
The night before the sleep was to be implemented, the two of them were lying on the big bed in the emperor's palace and were so intimate that the quilt was wrinkled.
Jiang Jianming nestled in Lai An's mouth, dumbfounded, because his arms were wrapped around him and he couldn't move, so he had to rub against him with his calf.
"If you drag it on, the effect of the medicine will come to an end. Your Majesty doesn't want to see me in such an unhealthy pain before I die, right?"
"I know! ... You don't need to say it."
Ryan clenched his back teeth. He lowered his head and hugged the patient in his arms tightly. He closed his eyes and murmured, "I won't cry tomorrow, don't discipline me tonight."
As he spoke, tears fell silently.
He knew that Jiang Jianming was right. Sylph had already warned once, saying that it could not be delayed any longer. After three or two days, the side effects of the drug would cause Jiang to die from pain, or to die suddenly from direct organ failure.
Whether it is to ensure the implementation of dormancy, or for Jiang Jianming's final dignity and well-being, he must say goodbye tomorrow.
Jiang Jianming sighed, "Why do you cry like that, the pillow is wet."
He rubbed Ryan's neck and suddenly paused thoughtfully.
"..."
Jiang Jianming tilted his head and looked at Ryan for a while, and there seemed to be a few glimmers in his eyes.
He said, "Be good, stop crying, let me give you a kiss, okay?"
So long ago, he refused to take this step. One is the practical reason. He is afraid that after formally forming a romantic relationship with Ryan, His Majesty will stubbornly want to give him a clear identity and cause unnecessary trouble.
Furthermore, he was indeed worried that he was not worthy of Ryan's fiery affection, and that he would cause His Majesty to miss his true love.
But it's already tonight.
He's going to "die" tomorrow and never have to worry about embarrassing Ryan again.
He also saw clearly the emperor's obsession with himself, and did not expect Ryan to be able to empathize with him after he left.
Or in other words, since His Majesty can be so paranoid about his lover, if Ryan is tempted by another person in the future, a dead person can't hold anything back.
So Jiang Jianming smiled, beckoned to the somewhat confused Lean, blinked and asked, "Would you like it?"
Yes, of course. Ryan immediately leaned over, his eyelashes still dangling pitifully with tears, and chirped in his palm.
"..."
"Not so dear, Your Majesty."
Jiang Jianming was angry, funny, and distressed. He touched Ryan's face, his other hand resting lightly on Ryan's shoulder.
"Do you want me to teach this too?"
The window glass of the White Jade Palace reflected two figures who were a little closer. There is moonlight outside the window, and the moonlight flows on the golden roses.
Only then did Ryan realize what Jiang Jianming meant.
He opened his eyes in disbelief, holding his breath.
thump, thump—
The heart suddenly began to speed up.
"Wait," the emperor suddenly stepped back, his eyes dodging in panic, "you don't have to accommodate me..."
Jiang Jianming shortened the last distance. He clasped the back of Ryan's head with his five fingers through the platinum curls, and put his lips on Ryan's.
"...—!"
When the moonlight kissed the golden rose goodbye, they embraced and kissed.
It was Jiang Jianming and Kaios, the emperor and commander of the empire's first and last tenderness, which happened in the depths of the unknown palace.
They kiss and just kiss. Occasionally, a few voices leaked from the teeth and tongues, but they were also very weak, as if just kissing would have exhausted a lifetime of strength.
It felt like drunk, everything was blurred, they held each other tightly as they kissed, body temperature, heartbeat, texture, hot, cold, everything was engulfing the senses.
"Jiang," the young emperor choked, holding his lover's face in both hands, "Do you know, do you know..."
"I know, I know it." Jiang Jianming said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Ryan... I will always be by your side and look at you forever, regardless of life or death."
So don't cry, don't be afraid to part.
From crushing to intense, they entangled and fell in the breath, fell into the depths of the universe, and were caught by the starry sky that turned into a flowing silver blanket. The sky is full of the brilliance of the moon, the brilliance of the sun... Finally, at the end of life and death, hear the string of love, and love surges up like a warm tide, swaying, sadly, blending them together little by little. Never leave, never leave.
"Do you want to do anything else?"
After it was over, Jiang Jianming lay on the bed and calmed down, his lips were a little bit slick, and finally he was no longer pale.
Ryan wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his face on his neck and rubbed his face, and said in a slightly clingy nasal voice, "Enough is enough, nothing else is needed."
But within a few minutes, His Majesty backtracked.
Ryan said: "By the way, I still want to hear that word from you, tell me."
After the kiss, Jiang Jianming certainly knew what His Majesty wanted to hear.
He raised his eyebrows and shook his head, with a sullen look on his face: "Of course the words are simple, but Your Majesty, I have never been able to fulfill the obligations of a lover to you."
"As you said last year, in those years before, I relied more on your strength and status..."
"No! No," Lean's expression changed suddenly, he suddenly pulled Jiang Jianming up and pressed him into his arms, hugging him tightly, "Those words were calculated by you and provoked me to say, you know it well!"
He casually touched Jiang Jianming's right arm, and rubbed the wounded area distressedly, "Don't say anything else, forget those words for me, and forget them now."
Jiang Jianming was made to laugh again.
"Okay," he said, "then I forgot."
Ryan didn't make a fuss, and kissed him again. Finally hug him and lie down again, put a warm quilt over him, and say good night.
The lights in the room went out.
The next day, the frozen dormancy process was selected to be carried out in a large room facing the sun on the second floor of the White Jade Palace.
Like the implementation method of Anle, the patient is first put into a deep sleep, and then operated by doctors and related technical personnel.
Jiang Jianming sat beside the bed and looked at the small tube of transparent medicine, knowing that it was it.
When these medicinal liquids are injected into the body, he will fall asleep within four or five seconds.
Then, even if it is to say goodbye to this world.
It was a vibrant summer outside the window, and the sun was just right in the room. Jiang Jianming, dressed in neat clothes, said goodbye to the medical and nursing team who had helped him over the years.
Maria cried in a mess, Jiang Jianming gave her a packet of candy and asked her to take it back to her child.
The old dog Seth noticed the unusual atmosphere, kept barking, and bowed to Jiang Jianming's bed. Jiang Jianming touched it and finally threw it a ball.
The golden sun shone all over the floor, and Seth wagged his tail and gasped, before picking up the ball wearily after a few minutes.
"Wang! Woohoo..."
It put the ball in Jiang Jianming's hand, sticking out its tongue happily, and looking up, its black grape-like eyes were dyed golden yellow by the light.
Jiang Jianming hugged Seth and kissed him. He narrowed his eyes sadly, and said in a low voice, "Good dog, find a good owner in your next life."
After so many years of running and fighting, he failed to accompany his dog well, and now he can't even send Seth to the end.
Sylph came over, she hung the medicinal liquid on the shelf, and her eyes were red: "Don't worry, Commander, we will take care of Seth."
Jiang Jianming nodded, "Take it away."
Maria came to lead Seth, but Seth refused to leave.
"Forget it, I'll come." The commander waved his hand. He picked up the dog's favorite toy ball, opened the window, and threw it from the second floor into the yard below.
He rubbed Seth's ear, as he usually gave it an order, "Be good, go and play ball for a while."
The old dog was tricked down, and the clack-clack disappeared at the end of the steps. Maria bowed deeply and left. In the end, Ryan, Lin Ge and Sylph were left behind.
The mental state of the three people is good, and they decided to send Jiang Jianming to sleep in a relaxed atmosphere in the end.
Lin Ge placed a red apple beside Jiang Jianming's pillow, smiling and remembering the time when she and him were in the wild to grab garbage to eat.
"Dawn," she said with a playful smile, "when you wake up, I will definitely be older than you, and I will really become an 'old lady'... By the way, when the old lady wants to call you 'Mingming', who told you to call you 'Mingming' every day? The old lady is trained as a daughter."
Sylph pierced Jiang Jianming's right forearm and put the switch of the infusion set next to his left hand, "When the commander is ready, just push the switch."
"Okay." Jiang Jianming nodded gently, the soft sky light gave his thin face an almost holy brilliance.
Ryan helped him to lie down slowly. His Majesty really did what he said. He said last night that he would not cry today, and he really calmed down today.
"I'm the one who forced you to keep you for so long, I'm sorry." The emperor carefully trimmed the broken hair in Jiang Jianming's ear, and said in a low voice, "There will be no need for pain in the future, just go to sleep and wait for me to wake you up."
Jiang Jianming grabbed Lean's hand, "Then...I want to have His Majesty by my side when I wake up, okay?"
This is actually a kind of euphemism, if Ryan can't wake up in this life, there is no need to leave an old zombie to future generations.
Ryan: "Of course, I promise you will be in my arms when you wake up."
"Thank you." Jiang Jianming said softly, "Wait for me to die...cough, don't announce the death immediately after hibernation, try to delay it until next year. It's too strange to die just after the expedition. I'm afraid someone will talk about you."
Ryan: "Understood."
"That's it." Jiang Jianming lay on the bed, first looked at the Aslan Star City outside the window, and then carefully looked at the three people who accompanied him at the end.
He wanted to say good night before going to bed, but it was not night, nor was it suitable for sadness.
"Good afternoon, don't feel sorry for me," so he smiled, "I have been very happy in my life, and at any time, there is always someone around me who loves me."
After saying this, Jiang Jianming pushed down the switch, with a relaxed expression, as if the injection was just a daily nutritional needle.
The liquid medicine quickly slides down the transparent syringe.
Suddenly, a distant bell rang. It is said that a new church has been built nearby, and it turns out that today is the day when its bell rang for the first time.
In a trance, Jiang Jianming's hearing seemed to become extremely sharp.
He seemed to be able to hear the bells and the dove flapping its wings. The suspended train Ding Ding ran through the star city, the babies born to the mother were crying, the branches and flowers were blooming, and the birds were leaving the nest.
No, he didn't hear it, he just imagined it.
The future of everything is in the distance, and every second there is a bud breaking the ground, that is light, that is new life.
"That's right." The commander's eyes suddenly glowed with a clear luster. He looked at the emperor, and his smile was more soul-stirring than ever before—
The second the medicinal liquid was injected into the vein, he smiled and said, "Ryan, I love you."
I love you, I love you.
My only forever lover, please accept the love I owe you half my life when the farewell bell rings.
Like being hit by some invisible spell, Ryan raised his head, opened his mouth in a daze, and his emerald eyes shook violently...
Suddenly, Lin Ge made a cry similar to crying, and she pushed Lean hard, tears streaming down her face.
And the emperor finally woke up, grabbed the commander's cold wrist suddenly, and stumbled: "Me! Me too..."
But Jiang Jianming's eyes slowly closed, like peach blossoms being blown by the soft wind in the spring. There was still a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, and like the ripples of a lake, it gradually dissipated, leaving only a little bit left, which solidified into eternity.
He slept in the bright summer light.
Tears dripped on the edge of the white pillow, and a drop fell on the red apple, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.
"I love you too."
Ryan gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He raised his blue-veined neck and said word by word, "Jiang, did you hear me, I love you..."
Both Lin Ge and Sylph burst into tears, but the man on the hospital bed would never wake up to comfort the two little girls and touch their hair.
The afternoon took with that photo together today was just as splendid and warm, but when Aslan left, a corner of the photo was forever missing.
It took a long time for the three of them to calm down. Lin Ge and Ryan came out, leaving Sylph to do the follow-up operations.
Suddenly, they saw Seth, the old dog brought the ball up from the yard!
Ryan closed the door immediately. Set drooped his ears and hummed loudly, pawing at the door with his claws, biting the ball in his mouth.
It also wants to play with Jiang Jianming. The ball thrown by the master should be put back in the master's hand... If possible, throw it again.
Lin Ge took a deep breath and turned his head away, unable to bear to look anymore. The emperor knelt down halfway, hugged Seth's neck and whispered: "Don't make trouble, he's sleeping, don't make any noise, shh..."
Seth understood. It spat out the ball, shook its body, and groaned aggrievedly in its throat.
It didn't know about death, it just thought that Jiang Jianming was really sleeping. Then it will be afternoon, evening, and possibly tomorrow morning, before the owner wakes up to continue playing.
"Good dog, yes, wait for him to wake up and sleep," Ryan said in a low voice, his emerald eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and there was no light, "I will play with you."
This is the early summer of the second year of the new emperor calendar.
Seven months later, in the third year of the new emperor's calendar, the empire announced the death of its founding commander, Dawn Aslan.
The author has something to say:
Good afternoon, Commander, next time you wake up, it will be a bright new empire.
Commander: ...but the body is in the living crystal block. Thank you.
