On the second floor of Yinbeidou Fortress, two heroes who had just triumphantly sat in the office of Major General Xie Yuduo.

Jiang Jianming and Garcia each sat on a chair. The former politely took tea from Adjutant Rita and drank it with both hands; the latter looked coldly at the three-dimensional star map in the major general's office.

Xie Yuduo collapsed on the spot: "God, ancestor, why are you fighting again!?"

"There was no quarrel."

The two spoke in unison.

Jiang Jianming said coldly: "It's just a matter of running in."

Garcia also said indifferently: "He gets angry too easily."

"..."

Xie Yuduo became even more desperate, and collapsed on the table, all kinds of messy documents and chips flying around.

So Adjutant Rita was also desperate: "Major General!! Please lift up your noble head, that is the information that the military will always use—"

In the office, chickens and dogs jumped for a while.

Under the intimidation of the female adjutant, Xie Yuduo had no choice but to get up from the table boneless, looking at the "cold war" prince and Lieutenant Jiang, he sighed again.

But... a sigh is a sigh.

The major general couldn't help but sigh: this is the first time that he can see such a vivid childishness from these two young people who are far superior to their peers but each carry heavy burdens.

After all, they are still young people in their early twenties. In this interstellar age where the average human life expectancy is approaching 200 years old every year, young people in their twenties can be called children.

Over there, Garcia whispered: "...don't be angry."

He spoke first to break the standoff, but didn't look back.

Instead, Jiang Jianming sighed softly, turned around and sat next to Garcia: "Your Highness, I am not angry."

Garcia stopped talking. He turned his face and stared at Jiang Jianming, as if silently saying: You are obviously angry.

Jiang Jianming shook his head half helplessly and half indulgently, and stretched out his hand to rub the long hair beside Garcia's ear, "...Okay, look, I'm really not angry now."

Xie Yuduo was even more dumbfounded, thinking to himself: How dare you both have a tacit division of labor on how to reconcile after a quarrel?

The major general suddenly felt that he had become a big light bulb, and quickly got up to see off the guests: "It's alright, both of you, Your Highness and Your Excellency Jiang Xiaoyou have worked hard this trip, go back and rest. The fortress is busy these days, so why not be considerate?Just hit my private message from anywhere."

Jiang Jianming looked at Garcia: "Please go back first, I have something to say to the major general alone."

Garcia's expression turned cold again: "...either they went out late at night or they talked in secret. It seems that Major General Xie and Lieutenant Jiang have a lot of secrets."

Having said that, he stood up and walked out.

Xie Yuduo looked at him at a loss, Jiang Jianming picked up the teacup slowly: "It's okay, let him go, I'll coax him when I go back."

Garcia's fingers snapped open the door.A second later, he seemed to hum softly, but he didn't seem to, he slammed the door and went out.

Xie Yuduo: "...Your Excellency, why do I feel that the two of you have no problem getting along with each other at all."

Jiang Jianming smiled but said nothing, drinking tea with his head down.Major Rita said very perceptively to deal with chores, and left with the documents in her arms.

At this time, Jiang Jianming said, "Major General Xie, I want to ask you..."

He paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, but the last question he asked was too blunt: "What exactly does His Highness Garcia do in Yinbeidou Fortress?"

Jiang Jianming frowned, biting his words a little hard: "Is he playing?"

"Having been with His Royal Highness Garcia for more than half a month, I feel that he is not fighting for Yin Beidou at all. He actually doesn't care about honor and empire, he is just playing."

Jiang Jianming tapped the table with the tip of his index finger: "Playing with mechs, playing with alien creatures - the problem is that now he has started playing with me, major general, can you control this person?"

As early as Jiang Jianming said the first sentence, the expression on Xie Yuduo's face changed obviously.

Now, the major general's face slowly froze into a wry smile: "...Your Excellency, you have spoken so sharply, this is very difficult for me to handle."

"Actually, that's what happened."

Xie Yuduo rubbed the tip of his nose, "The relationship between His Highness Garcia and the fortress is hard to say, he is willing to find excitement in the distant stars, and we need to eliminate alien creatures and defend against space pirates... we barely reach the same goal."

"In fact, Yin Beidou can't move him at all. Your Highness, he doesn't bother to take care of the fort most of the time. I'm thankful if he can save people occasionally."

Jiang Jianming thought about it for a while, and said confusedly: "So he is really wild, I thought it was just a wild animal."

Xie Yuduo: "... If you insist on using this metaphor, yes, it is very appropriate."

"Is there something else the major general is hiding from me? About His Royal Highness Garcia."

"It's really gone, Your Excellency! It's His Highness who refuses to talk about the past. He really has such a temper since he came to the fortress!"

"However," Xie Yuduo said suddenly, "before he came, there was a big explosion at the Alien Omega...Black Shark base, like a fire and smoke."

"You know, that place is not an ordinary small research institute. This is considered a big event. Fortunately, the base is located in the distant interstellar, and the empire insisted on suppressing the news at that time."

Jiang Jianming didn't say anything anymore, deep ripples appeared in his eyes.

He looked down at the tea in the cup, where there was a small piece of tea swirling hesitantly.

"...Okay, I understand." Jiang Jianming held up the teacup with both hands, he bent his lips thoughtfully, and blew lightly.

...

When Jiang Jianming returned to his residence, it was already sunset time.

Waiting for him in the bedroom is His Royal Highness Garcia.

and customary treatment cabins.

Jiang Jianming sighed with a headache. He groped to unbutton the military uniform with his fingers, took off his coat and hung it in his arms, and walked towards Garcia.

"Your Highness, we need to have a good talk about the use of the treatment cabin."

"Also," the young black-haired officer glanced lightly at the wall of the room with a side door open, "Even if our room is only separated by a door, it's inappropriate for you to keep coming into my room like this.If this goes on, I'm really going to padlock it."

Since moving to the second floor, Jiang Jianming's accommodation conditions have improved dramatically.

In the past, four people shared a four-bed bedroom in the officer's dormitory during the adaptation period, but now he occupies one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom all by himself.

This room is very spacious and has good lighting. It can be regarded as a one-to-one configuration in the high-end residential area.

The only strange thing is that there is a side door in its bedroom, which can directly connect to the next door... Jiang Jianming guessed that maybe this was the room of the guard of some important person before, and the side door can be easily accessed on call.

And now, His Highness Garcia is living next door to him.

His Highness would not ask him to be on call.

But His Highness would open the door anytime he wanted to catch him.

For example, at the moment, Garcia is looking at him with displeasure and cold eyes: "You have been traveling for six days, and today you drove the mech for four hours at full speed in the high altitude where the grains are rich."

Jiang Jianming: "The particle isolation performance of the comet is very good. I have considered this when I chose the mecha."

"It's not as good as Xuejiu." Garcia said, "I said that you can use Xuejiu when you assist me in fighting, and save Comet Slash as a backup...you are disobedient."

After finishing speaking, the prince kept silent, and when he spoke again, he seemed to be angry, and his brows were sharp and low: "The mecha masters in the fortress are useless, and the M model of Xuejiu can't be developed in a few years."

Jiang Jianming: "..."

What's the matter with you, isn't it you who mocked the snow dove in Beta Alien for being only suitable for running away?

Besides, it would be nice to have a miniature machine for those who are in special situations, for those tasteless vase beauty machines, who is full enough to study a bigger model!

"Go in." Garcia signaled the treatment cabin with his eyes, "Or, if you prefer me to put you in, that's fine too."

He said, stood up and walked towards Jiang Jianming.

The setting sun outside the window reflected the prince's long hair with golden red flashes, his shadow was stretched huge, and it fell forward on Jiang Jianming's body.

Jiang Jianming sighed and hung up his coat: "Your Highness, please stop making trouble. If you continue to use the treatment cabin, my body will become dependent on it."

"Why can't this be done?"

Jiang Jianming laughed back angrily. He turned his head and looked at Garcia: "Of course not. What do you tell me to do in a difficult environment in the future? What should I do when you are not by my side?"

Garcia frowned and said, "Why do you have to go to a difficult environment without me."

In a few words, he had already stood still in front of Jiang Jianming, with a cold tone, "It doesn't make sense, give me a reason."

"I……!"

Jiang Jianming subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he was stunned.

Garcia pressed his shoulders, the prince tilted his head slightly, his graceful curly hair scattered: "Where are you going?"

It is rare for a foreign star to be peaceful, and the afterglow of the setting sun is like woven colored silk, flowing gently around the two people.

Maybe it was because of the slack after a battle was finally over, or maybe it was because the evening was too peaceful and the sunset was too gentle.

Or maybe it's because the emerald eyes that are close at hand are too deep and intoxicating, like a glass of slightly drunk and sweet iced fruit wine.

Jiang Jianming was in a trance for a moment, until he was also in a trance.

He asked himself: Yeah, where am I going?

Garcia got closer: "Your body is inherently fragile, not suitable for fatigue, injury, stimulation and high-intensity combat, don't you know?"

"You are weak and sickly, you are easy to die, I have said many times."

"Even if they don't die immediately, at least they will damage the foundation of the body and shorten the lifespan... The average life span of disabled humans among the common people of the empire is thirty years shorter than that of new humans.data, don’t you know this?”

Jiang Jianming was even more at a loss.

He thought to himself in confusion: I know...but why does this person always like to talk so close?Does he want to bite me?

"What makes you feel that it is normal for you to have a fever, cough up blood, and endure the pain every day like an officer in the adaptation period."

Garcia squinted his eyes, and the intoxicating emerald color rippled.

He tightened his fingers on the shoulders of the remnant crystal humans, "What kind of life did you live before you came to Yin Beidou... If you don't want to tell, I don't need to ask, but."

"Jiang Jianming, you have been following me for half a month—"

"The one who has no habits is you."

Jiang Jianming's body trembled unconsciously.

It was as if some torrent ran through his limbs, bringing shuddering waves.

Jiang Jianming suddenly lowered his head and clenched his teeth.

……no.

His heart was a little bitter, and he said softly to himself: No, I just have a long way to go.

Although haven't seen what's on the road yet.

But this is not destined to be a smooth road.

So he can't slack off, can't relax his vigilance.There are too many unknowns and secrets, no one around you can completely trust, no one can completely rely on——

But... Jiang Jianming fell into a brief daze again. He looked at Garcia in front of him and thought blankly:

In the final analysis, it was because of the death of the little highness that he fell into this helpless widow situation.

After all, he didn't have to suffer.

Back then, when His Royal Highness had no accident, didn’t he also live in the bustling Aslan Star City, study at the most dazzling Keos Military Academy, and lead an ordinary but comfortable life?

Not only that, because of Lai An's relationship, his conditions have always been very favorable.

Although he hardly asks the crown prince for anything materially.

But which disabled human being can be like him, who was discovered by his lover tonight and wanted to go to the far interstellar, tomorrow the most advanced treatment cabin and crystal particle tranquilizers are ready, and the three military fortresses are visited?

The most powerful Crown of Dawn in the empire, even the commander-in-chief Chen Hanke has never been in the cockpit, the little highness can let him play for an afternoon, and then take him out with his own hands-who can have this kind of treatment?

He wasn't born with such a hard life, he insisted on exhausting himself to go upstream every day and night.

If it wasn't for the death of His Highness...

But now, Garcia was clearly standing in front of him.

Behind is the vast afterglow of the setting sun.

Past and present overlap, suddenly like a dream.

Crash.

Jiang Jianming's waist lightened.

He lowered his head, and found that just as he was in a daze, Garcia had already untied his belt and pulled it away smoothly.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Jianming's voice was a little hoarse.

Garcia: "You're going to change and lie down and rest."

Jiang Jianming's Adam's apple twitched slightly: "No matter what...you shouldn't put a quilt in the treatment cabin, it's not a bed, and it can't be used as a bed."

Garcia: "The heating in the Yinbeidou Fortress is not enough, and the night will be cold for you."

"..." Jiang Jianming pursed his lips and remained silent.

Alien Alpha can be freezing cold, especially at night.Although there are heating facilities in the fortress, after all, the sergeants cannot be coddled, and the temperature is just like that.

For new human beings, Ren Ren got used to it.Only for Jiang Jianming, it was really cold enough to feel painful.

Garcia held his wrist, took off his gloves expressionlessly, folded them together, and placed them beside him.

Jiang Jianming lowered his head, with broken snow floating in the depths of his eyes, and said slowly: "If one day in the future, you leave my side..."

Garcia paused, when the prince's slender and bony fingers landed on a button in front of the neckline of the remnant crystal human.

"Don't make unfounded speculations."

He unbuttoned the button, and said calmly: "According to your current state, no matter how you think, you will leave me first - fatigue, cold, disease, excessive patience and thinking, it is you and not me."

Jiang Jianming's silence lasted for a long time, so long that Garcia thought he was going to refuse again.

"That……"

Jiang Jianming suddenly raised his eyes, his eyelashes were trembling slightly, his usual calm and firm eyes were a little lost at the moment.

He said in a very soft voice, almost helpless: "Then, the cost of the treatment cabin..."

Garcia reacted quickly, and calmly said: "Let Xie Yu take it."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

His voice became softer: "Okay."

"But I need a shower first, and dinner."

"...so please stop and stop taking off my clothes!"

...

That evening, the fortress was calm and calm.

Jiang Jianming put hot water in the bathtub. After washing, he soaked in the bathtub naked.

The hot bath after fatigue and fighting seems to have magical powers, and people are confused within ten minutes after entering it.

He originally wanted to close his eyes and relax for a while, but soon his consciousness was evaporated into a mist, and he almost fell asleep in the water.

Fortunately, Garcia called him outside.

Dinner was eaten by two people, and they ordered some food from the trading area for the robot to deliver.

The food was delicious and expensive, but Jiang Jianming didn't eat much of it.Garcia's judgment was not wrong, he was indeed a little tired.

After hastily washing up, Jiang Jianming changed into his pajamas, and under Garcia's gaze, stepped into the treatment cabin with bare feet.

This time...

He was not taken in by force.

But when the night gently swayed away like water waves, he was still lying in the treatment cabin with several layers of quilts, falling asleep like a few days ago.
