When Jiang Jianming said this, of course he wanted to tease Garcia when he saw that Garcia was too listless.

But with little effect, His Royal Highness still pursed his beautiful lips, his eyes flickered, he seemed to be struggling with some kind of emotion, and kept silent for a long time.

"You... checked so much with just one guess." After a while, Garcia said again in a low voice, "Let me warn you one last time, he is not worth your effort."

Jiang Jianming restrained his face, and his smile drifted away from the end of his eyes like smoke.

"Your Highness, it will be meaningless for you to dwell on this issue any longer."

Ever since their identities became known to Garcia, they had repeatedly fought back and forth, but the focus of that fight was lost at some point.

He wants His Highness to believe that "Garcia and Lai An are one person", but His Highness seems to be more concerned about the issue of "Lai An is not worthy of Jiang Jianming's love".

Jiang Jianming couldn't understand what kind of self-examination or self-jealousy it was.

As if reading his mind, Garcia snorted impatiently: "I'm not targeting your Highness Lai An...well, that's fine, just assume you're right."

"But at least for now, I am still a creation that can be mass-produced. How do you want to refute this?"

"Really?" Jiang Jianming raised his clear eyes and spoke slowly, "I heard from Major General Xie that there was an explosion at the Black Shark base three years ago."

"..."

Jiang Jianming: "Your Highness, in my impression, either Lai An or Garcia are very proud and rebellious people."

"Although I just said that you are fleeing, I can't imagine that you would willingly accept the fate of being one of thousands of creations."

Garcia raised his head slightly, his original expression was always gloomy, but at this moment he showed surprise for half a second, and then there was a trace of joy in his eyes.

"...Yes, I blew up the computer in the archive. In fact, the base has no Lai An data."

He gestured to the number on the instrument in front of him with his eyes, and then reached out and took out the chip inserted in the instrument.

"This is the only one left, and it's here with me."

The chip was taken away, and the data, including the words "No. 000...generated data" on the top line also disappeared.

Jiang Jianming laughed again, and he said thoughtfully: "So, there are actually no thousands of Lai An."

Garcia turned around coldly and stood in front of Jiang Jianming face to face: "Yes. If you didn't come back just now."

Yes, Garcia knew it clearly in his heart.The moment Jiang Jianming walked away, he had already admitted it.

He would really go to the distant stars alone, fight and trek alone, and spend an unknown number of days and nights alone under the cold starry sky—living like every passing day in the past three years.

He will fulfill his promise, and he will go to Crystal Nest alone to find news about Ryan Keos for Jiang Jianming.

The chip data will be returned to the base, and if he dies, there will be another "replica" guarding the remnant crystal human being in front of him who is in danger of life at every turn.

If he really finds the living Lai An, he will send out a starship to escort the real crown prince back to Aslan; then, as a person who has lost his reason for existence, he will face everything he will face alone.

...will it be secretly obliterated?Or will he be imprisoned in the distant interstellar in a different form, and be used as a humanoid weapon for the empire for a lifetime?

Not enough evidence to speculate, but that doesn't matter.

He had already admitted it.

But Jiang Jianming came back again.

Garcia was condescending and looked at Jiang Jianming fixedly.Some emotion welled up in his heart, a bit of ruthless red appeared in his eyes, and he said hoarsely:

"What if your guess is wrong? What would you do if there was another Leian Keos alive?"

Jiang Jianming: "I don't know."

Garcia: "I know."

Jiang Jianming raised his head suddenly, and in the next second, his shoulders were grabbed hard.

The cold light in Garcia's eyes was frightening, and he bowed down in a posture that seemed to imprison the disabled human beings completely.His brows were pressed down, and even his breathing was hot and trembling, as if he had exhausted all his strength and will to make a sound, "I...I'm going to kill him."

Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows, his eyes were like two deep seas with fog.

The black-haired young man tilted his head slightly, but he didn't seem to be really surprised, so he asked softly in a nasal voice, "Huh?"

The two are close at hand.

Garcia's Adam's apple moved, and suddenly raised his hands, palms raised from his shoulders, stroked his fragile neck, and finally lifted Jiang Jianming's cheek.

The prince bowed his head, his platinum curly hair was entangled with fine black hair, and his lips brushed against his earlobe: "I will kill him, tear him into pieces, grind him into flesh and blood, burn his bones to ashes...in a place where you can't see.”

Garcia's hands were so strong that Jiang Jianming was forced to raise his head up. The bones under his slender neck were exposed, and his skin was as white as a line of mountain snow, with a few traces of red from the fingerprints.

This posture is absolutely uncomfortable, and even makes people's breathing difficult, but he only showed a little effort on the tip of his eyebrows, and his eyes are still gentle: "Really."

Garcia gasped twice, his fingers were trembling, and his teeth were chattering non-stop, as if he was desperately restraining something.

"Then, I will take you back to Aslan, and in the dead of night, after you are asleep, I will bury him under the flowerbed in front of the White Emerald Palace."

Jiang Jianming said softly: "Yes."

"Wait until next year and there will be a golden rose there," Garcia said.

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes and laughed, and asked again: "And then?"

Garcia gritted his teeth suddenly, and at the moment his heart burst, he suddenly pulled Jiang Jianming into his arms.

He bent down, his heavy panting intertwined with weak panting, he bit Jiang Jianming's lip, the taste of blood and frenzy filled his mouth, and washed away the unspoken words——

I will pluck that golden rose and give it to my love.

"……Well…!……"

In the cold laboratory, two shadows cast on the wall, swaying, trembling, melting in the light blue luster, like a vain dream.

This is a kiss that is desperate because of love, and entangled to death because of despair.

"Call me by my name." Garcia suddenly said, and then lowered his brows and eyes in the next second, grinding the lips of the person in his arms as if venting, "Call."

"You..." Jiang Jianming panted thinly, he didn't expect things to turn out like this suddenly.The ferocious beast kept by his side revealed its aggressive nature and wanted to swallow itself whole.

"Ga..., Garcia..." Unprepared, he was kissed in a dazed state, and he made a trembling sound during the interval of resistance, "...wait, wait...uh!...hiss."

"Wrong call." Garcia was annoyed.

Jiang Jianming let out a very soft "ah", and his thin, white and flexible waist was pinched by warm palms.

He was almost lifted up and pressed against the wall, and when he was tossed until his eyes were black and out of breath, he was placed horizontally on the huge glass cultivation chamber.

The sky spun, the shadow fell, and Garcia pressed himself up again.

"..." Jiang Jianming panted and opened his eyes wide, watching his favorite platinum long curly hair scattered on his cheeks, "Your Highness, you... you, please slow down, wait for me to take a breath..."

"—Your lover once treated you badly. He abandoned you and forced you to break your body. He doesn't deserve what you've done."

Garcia said with red eyes, "But he will cherish you in the future, will make up for all the mistakes he made in the past, and will love you very... very much."

"Do you believe?"

There is a trembling in the ending, but it doesn't look weak and helpless, it's more like trembling because it contains some kind of force that is more sonorous and decisive.

Trembling because of making a certain decision and carrying a certain awareness.

Jiang Jianming paused, he realized what it meant.

"……Ok."

Jiang Jianming's expression was still calm, but his eyes were silently wet. He stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the prince's face: "I believe it, Your Highness. I believe it."

"Then call me by my name."

Garcia was also looking at Jiang Jianming, and finally...he dyed those bland lips with a moving color, like Alien Omega's sunset red.

It cannot be blamed on him... because just now, he already recognized it, the prince thought to himself.

God knows how much he wanted to monopolize this hateful crippled human being forever, and how much heart-wrenching pain he endured to decide to give up.Originally, I thought it would be fine if I could exchange Jiang’s safety, but...

But Jiang Jianming came back to him again.

Then calmly prove to him that he is not a artificially duplicated creation.

So firmly said that he should be proud and unruly.

Even when was violated, wanted to refuse and greet, really don't know what want to do.

The sheep go into the tiger's mouth, stupid and disabled human beings.

"Jiang, look at me," said the prince, "call me by my name."

He had always hated a certain name.But as Jiang Jianming said, he turned his back to the light and hid himself in the dark, which was a kind of retreat and escape.

But now, the shadows in the darkness have a reason to fight, baring their fangs to the inviolable light.

"The name is actually not important." Jiang Jianming kept lying on his back on the glass surface, and said with a faint smile, "but if you want to hear it so much, I can also be called... Lai An."

Garcia also smiled slowly.He took out the chip again, put it between his fingers, and squeezed it hard.

click.

The chip shattered into several pieces and was randomly thrown on the ground by him.

"You're done."

The prince said lazily: "I crushed your thousands of Lai An."

"From this moment on, whether in the past or in the future, you only have me."

He doesn't want to be Lai An's replacement, he wants Lai An to be him.

He will inherit the responsibility of the name, make up for the fault of the name, and clear up the mystery that hangs over the name.

After the dust settled, the Crown Princess who was engaged to this name...of course it was also his.

Jiang Jianming looked at the person in front of him peacefully. He watched Garcia's expression change from gloomy to mad, and now he can laugh naturally.This is transformation and rebirth.

At this moment, he couldn't say anything more. After thinking for a while, he blinked and said, "Then...then you need to plant thousands of roses for me."

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

Garcia closed his eyes and kissed him hard again, his lips rubbed against each other, but soft syllables leaked from his throat in such an aggressive kiss, "I love you... Jiang, don't leave me... I love youyou."

Shining in the darkness, the crystal bone stretched from the back of the prince's waist to the ground, still restlessly tense.

The red-gold real crystals began to condense, and the real crystal roses bloomed, carefully surrounding the human beings on the glass. This scene was extremely strange and beautiful, like a holy scene in an ancient mural.

Then, all sounds fell silent.

...

——At that time, the crystal nest in the depths of the universe was still shining with a mysterious luster for thousands of years, and the alien creatures dormant around were sneaking in the shadow of the universe.

And in the universe that is separated by an unknown number of light-years, Yin Beidou's expeditionary star fleet is advancing in blood, turning into a bunch of afterimages and disappearing in the wormhole of the high-dimensional transition, leaving behind large pieces of wreckage after the fierce battle.

Alpha Alien, the snow is boundless.The soldiers of the first fortress of Yinbeidou continued to patrol, drill, explore, and fight as usual, and there was no difference from every day in the past.

Under the increasingly urgent battle situation, the latest batch of officers in the adaptation period have already driven their mechas and rushed to the battlefield with an uncertain future.

In the empire, after experiencing a night of civil strife that was destined to be recorded in the history books, the new year passed without any danger.When the new sun shines on the earth, it will bring new light and new shadows.

As we all know, the rule of the old empire died at the festival that was about to enter the 64th year of the old imperial calendar.And now, the nine star cities are successively ushering in the 64th year of the new imperial calendar——

first dawn.
