When Jiang Jianming opened the door and walked in to find Garcia, the bedroom was dark.

There was supposed to be a light inside the starship, but the occupants turned it off.

Garcia is on the bed.He was lying sideways on the side away from the door, with a large piece of curly hair spread out in a mess, only a white straight nose and tightly closed eyelashes could be vaguely seen, exuding a sense of decadence... not even a living person'sbreath.

Jiang Jianming almost suspected that the man was drunk.

But the prince raised his eyes the moment he heard the door knock, and the light outside turned into a comet, flashing in his emerald eyes.

Jiang Jianming looked down at his wrist phone: "Half an hour, I should not be late this time."

He punched the ball on the bed and stretched out his hands: "Come here, give you a hug."

Garcia didn't move, but raised his head, his eyes glinting faintly in the darkness: "...Are you training a dog?"

The satin-like curly hair was a little fluffed by him rolling on the bed, and a few strands of unruly white gold jumped out.

Jiang Jianming went around and calmly pulled Garcia up from the bed.

While stroking His Highness, he sighed: "Is the relationship with the Black Shark base so bad? Can you tell me about what happened before?"

"No." Garcia didn't move.

The meaning of not moving is that although he would not take the initiative to get close to Jiang Jianming's arms or something, he did not avoid it either.

Jiang Jianming: "...You are really naive. Recently, your nature has become more and more exposed. You used to pretend?"

He took out the hair tie that Garcia had stuffed in yesterday from his coat pocket, and fastened the man's hair.

"I finished talking with the leader, it's up to you next. Haven't you always wanted to know my identity?"

Garcia said wearily, "I don't want to."

Jiang Jianming: "?"

Garcia was obviously agitated, shook his hair, and repeated: "I don't want to know now."

Suddenly, Jiang Jianming felt the hull vibrate slightly under his feet.

The electronic announcement sounded throughout the ship: "This ship is about to pass through the high-dimensional blockade and enter the territory of the empire. Please prepare the crew and do not activate the jump function."

The two people whose conversation was interrupted turned their heads at the same time and looked out the window.

The first thing that came into view was an empire's man-made space station. It was shaped like a huge white steel top, slowly rotating in the sea of space, and it was emitting beams of light with different frequencies from the top.

And behind the space station, in the distance, there seems to be a colorful translucent film floating at the end of the universe, like the aurora, and like the bubbles blown by a child.

"Repeat, this ship is about to pass through the high-dimensional blockade and enter the territory of the empire. Please prepare the crew and don't activate the jump function."

This "film" with magnificent visual effects is the high-dimensional blockade of the empire, which belongs to the cutting-edge space technology and implements a one-way blockade.

The starships outside the barrier cannot jump into the blockade, and can only enter by normal driving. The space station of the Jinrilun Empire Guards assumes the duty of the outpost, and strictly checks every starship that enters.

This also prevents the vicious space pirates who may appear outside the White Emerald Palace to open fire at any time, or appear to urinate on the beams of the people of any empire.

Garcia didn't turn his face away, but spoke again: "Answer my question, don't talk, just nod or shake your head."

"You were ordered to come near me?"

Of course Jiang Jianming shook his head.

"You and I have a plan to meet each other?"

Still shaking his head.

The starship passed by the space station, and the logo of the Black Shark Base and the military emblem of Jinrilun just passed by.

The dreamy colored light penetrates the glass of the bedroom, embellishing the eyebrows, hair and skirts of the two young people.

Prince Garcia, who was staring out the window, asked the third question: "Will you restrain me?"

Jiang Jianming calmly replied: "Nothing can bind a free soul."

"It's like you ordered me not to speak, but I can speak as long as I want to. Unless you use violence to silence my mouth."

"But obviously, in terms of violence, you can completely overwhelm me, and I can't do anything about you. So I don't think I have the ability to restrain you."

The starship passed through the high-dimensional blockade, and for a second it was brilliant, and the light spots were like neon lights, illuminating the entire room wantonly, obscuring the outlines of the two people's shoulders and backs.

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes for a moment due to dizziness, and when he opened them again, Garcia had already turned sideways and looked directly at this side: "That's enough."

"Others, I don't want to hear."

The brilliance faded from the window, and the announcement sounded again to remind them that they were already in the territory of the empire.

Garcia took Jiang Jianming's arm, motioned him to sit down by the bed, lowered his voice and said, "Enough. Continue to tell me about the empire, or other things... like last night."

"But Your Highness..."

If you don't want to hear it, that's a big problem.

Garcia closed his eyes: "I know you have a secret."

"Hide it well and don't let me know."

Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows: "no, this is not something you can decide. You don't need to know me, but I need to know you. "

"His Royal Highness Garcia, may I ask what are you running away from? Black Shark Base, the Empire, or..."

He deliberately paused, "Your Brother Lai An."

Garcia stood up abruptly, with violent clouds in his eyes.

He smiled angrily: "Are you provoking me on purpose?"

The light of the high-dimensional blockade has completely disappeared, and the two figures confront each other in silence.

They were huddled next to the bed, and when Garcia stood up, Jiang Jianming was almost pushed against the wall by the window.

The human eyes of Remnant Crystal were icy black, and one of his arms was still being held firmly by the prince. At this time, the huge difference in strength between the races was fully revealed.

The prince didn't even need to really show his killing intent, as long as he unconsciously released the crystal bone in his palm under the rage, the disabled human's arm would be cut in two.

Jiang Jianming just stared at him.

Two seconds of silence.

The remnant crystal human smiled silently, narrowed his eyes provocatively, and said in a soft tone on purpose:

"I'm really curious, why are you so unwilling to accept that maybe you are Lean Keos."

The next moment the world was spinning, and Jiang Jianming didn't realize what happened until there was a muffled sound in his ears, and his back first hit the hard window sill and then hit the floor of the starship.

Almost like a stress reaction, Garcia suddenly pushed him away.

It was like the harmless body of a disabled human being suddenly turned into a sharp knife pointing at the heart, or a red-hot and smoking iron.

A long pain slowly climbed up the nerve.Jiang Jianming lowered his eyelids slowly, and pressed his side of his abdomen with his palm without any trace.

The wound...does it still hurt?

He thought he was completely healed.

Garcia was startled suddenly, he seemed to be dragged back from some out-of-control emotion, panting quickly.

In the darkness, the prince raised the fingers of his right hand, which was a gesture of wanting to touch the person in front of him.

However, in the next second, he slowly lowered his hand, and even put his right hand behind his back to hide it.

Garcia raised his head slightly, the line of his jaw was tense, his eyes were sullen and withdrawn: "Do you want to continue talking?"

Jiang Jianming sat up straight.

He thought with a blank face: But I can't really tell you that I am your sister-in-law in name, but actually a widow in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

In order not to argue whether it is the sister-in-law or the widow, it is necessary to find out Garcia's current mental state.

He opened his lips...

After hesitating for a few breaths, he closed it again.

"..."

"Sorry." Jiang Jianming said softly.

"I won't talk about it...for now."

...

Later, until many years later, Jiang Jianming would still laugh and think of this moment in the starship.

Why didn't he press on, it's not in his character.

Escape is not a long-term solution. No matter what shadows Garcia has in his heart, he must drag them into the sun and explain them clearly.

However, at this moment, the figure of Garcia standing in front of him with a cold face in the darkness vaguely overlaps with Lai An in the communication projection back then.

——"I ruined your life."

——"Please hate me."

——"I will not hate you, the relationship and friendship between us ends here."

——"You can't be too arrogant... There is no one or anything in the world that can destroy me."

As back then, he didn't know what had happened.

But he relented again.

So what if you confess in front of His Majesty the Emperor, the leader also said that some things need to be done step by step.

After the words fell, as if some spell had been broken, Garcia staggered two steps in a gaffe, and knelt down in front of Jiang Jianming.

"Where did I hit just now, I don't..."

He spoke hoarsely, and suddenly woke up halfway.

Garcia quickly restrained his expression in embarrassment, and turned his head: "I just want to teach you a lesson, don't say things you shouldn't say in the future."

Jiang Jianming: "..."

"Is the wound open, follow me..."

Garcia shook his head anxiously, pressed the center of his eyebrows, "...you find the treatment cabin for me."

Jiang Jianming patted Garcia's back: "No, the wound doesn't hurt."

I wondered whether to laugh or cry in my heart: So the Lord Chief's words of forgiving future harms refer to such a naive thing?

Garcia stopped talking, maybe he also realized that he was really sick for so much trouble.

"...When you arrive in the first galaxy, you can go first on the starship of Yinbeidou."

After a long time, the prince stood up slowly, with a complicated expression, "Go to the empire, meet the acquaintances you want to see, recuperate, and save money."

His eyes slowly moved away from Jiang Jianming's face, and his tone of voice could not be heard, "Don't follow me. When I am with this group of people, I tend to lose control of my emotions, and what happened just now happens again."

Jiang Jianming frowned: "Your Highness?"

Garcia: "I'll go find you after I finish dealing with them."
