In his memory, it seemed that it had rained.

A diffuse fog.

When the rain comes and the sun clears, the night is clear and the sky is full of stars.The golden roses in the White Jade Palace became even more fragrant, and a figure suddenly sat beside him.

The empress wore black fur over her shoulders and a deep red floor-length dress, and said hoarsely, "Do you like it?"

The five or six-year-old child withdrew his gaze, staring at the empress with emerald pupils: "What?"

"The starry sky."

Lin Song smiled lowly, sat down and took the young crown prince into his arms.

The smell of alcohol came out, Lai An frowned and covered her nose: "Your Majesty, are you drunk and come to my place to go crazy?"

"Hmm." The emperor's eyes were red and her expression was half-drunk. She pinched the child's ear lazily, "Aren't you bored again, little monster?"

Lai An was silent.He went to look at the starry sky again, and said for a long while: "...I like it, let me go."

Lin Song sighed sadly: "Every day, you don't look like a normal human cub. Can't this peaceful empire satisfy you?"

She squinted her eyes, poked the child's cheek, said in a vague way, "Hey, let me ask you, are you waiting... to meet someone."

"Who do you meet who can give you a home and become your belief... who can teach you to become a real emperor from a wandering monster..."

Lai An didn't bother to talk to her.The emperor is a crazy woman, and she goes crazy after drinking too much, he is used to it.

Lin Song laughed to himself: "It's a pity that you can't meet it. Little monster, you little bastard, you just break yourself, rot, you have to be a monster for a lifetime, and then you can die."

She laughed until tears came out, talking nonsense in her mouth.Lai An pushed her away in disgust, patted her clothes and left.

Before leaving, he raised his eyes to look at the starry sky above his head one last time.

So the starry sky reflected in his eyes.

"What am I?"

After receiving a day of combat training, he rested in the treatment cabin, gazing at the starry sky outside the skylight of the Black Shark base.

The leader sat beside him and shook his head: "If I answer now, you can find a reason to be angry, and you can use this to blow up my laboratory again, right?"

Garcia didn't deny it, and he closed those beautiful green eyes.

What is he, a man-made imperial weapon with no origin and no return.But even though he was born like this, he refuses to be defined arbitrarily.

The leader's hand in black armor wanted to touch His Highness's sweaty curly hair, but the latter avoided him in disgust.

She shook her head and sighed, and finally put her hand lightly on Garcia's shoulder.

"When are you going to tell me that the base created my purpose?"

"hold on."

"I'm not going to wait too long for you."

The leader sighed softly.

"You're not mature enough, little Kaios." She stroked His Highness's shoulder and said in an inorganic electronic voice, "I still have too many things to teach you, so I didn't want to let you out so soon."

"But if you really resist... Black Shark Base is destined to not be able to lock you up."

"Go and find the wind and snow where you can hide, before the next encounter."

Later, he really went to Xinghai.

He is the young crown prince who went to the front line, driving the Crown of Dawn, gazing at all enemies in sight; he is the radiant little prince of the empire, the crown prince admired by everyone, symbolizing strength, invincibility and glory.

Later, he really walked into the wind and snow.

He is the "Second Prince" whose identity is unknown, wandering in the emptiness, fighting to stimulate his nerves;There is a reunion in the dark.

That encounter finally came to him like fate.

In the capital of Aslan, the clean and bright library, the book that fell from the thin fingers.

Alien Alpha, on a battlefield full of fire and smoke, the mecha that broke through the wind.

is gentle—

It's bitter

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness."

— yet stoic and unruly.

- yet frail and fragile.

"Lai An."

In the depths of my memory, thousands of raindrops flowed upstream to form a Milky Way.

He loved those deep black eyes that reflected the stars.

After meeting, everything in the world becomes that person.

Only that person.

The fragments of memory began to surge, being hit countless times by the torrential rain in the depths of consciousness, every drop splashed, and every drop reflected the light of another drop.

At what time, the young Prince Chu half-grievously complained about the prudence and propriety of the military cadet, secretly annoyed that the person he wanted to protect was always unwilling to rely on himself with confidence.

But in the next second, in the snow-covered desert forest of the alien star, the black-haired young man was so pale that he reached out to him emotionally, and a high-level crystal bone was pierced on his wrist, preventing the other party from touching.

The screen is broken, and new ones emerge.The first time he saw a military cadet falling ill with a fever, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to close his eyes all night.At that time, thought that it is really easy to cause accidents if the handicapped human beings are too strong. In the future, they must be carefully watched and taken care of.

The meeting again was in the fortress of the far interstellar, and there were people coming and going in the noisy trading area.The disabled human with a low fever wore a silver and black military uniform and carefully selected weapons.

He walked up to the man, frowned and asked coldly, "Why are you always sick?"

The screen is broken, and new ones emerge.Just a moment ago, he gently kissed the black-haired boy in his arms, feeling so sorry that his heart trembled, promising the future and forever.

Jiang Hanxiao kissed him back, but avoided the topic.

He is actually guilty, more of a self-blame emotion.It is because his ability is not enough that the lover cannot stand in the open.

So in His Highness's memory, he should just push Jiang away feigning anger, sullen and awkward.

But after time and space were distorted for a while, that slender neck was actually in his palm, and the force was tightened, tightened again.

He vented his emptiness and violence, and perhaps his overflowing jealousy.

"Did the crown prince treat you very well during his lifetime?"

"Why doesn't he come to save you now?"

Don't... let go, let go, he's going to be out of breath.

Lai An was heartbroken, this memory was so clear, he could even recall Jiang Jianming's trembling eyelashes due to suffocation, and saw how those two open lips were slightly lavender due to lack of oxygen.

Even the sound of struggling to inhale air is in my ears, as well as the pulse throbbing violently in my palm.

let go

He almost screamed silently.

It collapsed in front of my eyes again.

When he saw Alien Omega's Yunxia, Jiang Jianming tilted his head and asked him, have you really thought about it?

"I am a crippled human being with a mediocre background, and I am completely different from His Highness. And you are still so young, you will meet more outstanding people in the future, and you will also encounter more accidents."

"I don't mind taking it easy, little Highness, you really want to..."

The black-haired boy let out a laugh as he spoke, but he was frank, "It's time to talk about marriage and make a private decision for life? You're not yet of age."

The young Chu Jun shook his head, his heart was full of hot emotions.

Insisted: "Jiang, I love you."

In an instant, the winter night of Bai Emerald Palace overlapped from the abyss of memory.

The handicapped man on the opposite side almost drowned to death a few hours ago, and now he dared to run around with a fever.He was extremely irritable, and sneered with a cold face: "I just pity you."

Don't say that, don't say that.

"It is impossible for me to back down my position for you. The so-called truth is not something that a cripple like you deserves to touch."

Don't do this to him.

"So you see, you are not as capable as you imagined at all, and I will stop taking care of you in the future, and there will be no place for you in the Silver Beidou."

do not……

"I understand." The black-haired boy said softly.

The little prince became nervous for no reason, feeling that the proposal was going to fail.Immediately added: "Forever."

Forever, how far is forever?

He only remembered that Jiang Jianming nodded his head at the end, and that crystal bone ring was put on the black-haired boy's ring finger.

Two lives are fused together, and two emotions are entangled to the death.The torrential rain was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no other sound in my consciousness except the sound of rain.

Later he learned about crystal particles, crystal nests, and race colonization.White Bird Project, Consciousness Projection, Substrate.

It turned out that this was a doomed parting, there was no eternity, only promises that could not be fulfilled.

Yuanshen lured him to die, but he chose to agree.

And Jiang Jianming also chose Jing Luan, saying that he has no regrets.

"Do you understand what I mean? Even if Lai An with complete memory appeared in front of me, I would just give him an extra slap and let him go."

That day, Jiang Jianming said this sentence coldly to him.

He didn't give up: "What about me?"

"I... I'm begging you."

"I'll give you whatever you want, I beg you."

There was a bang.

At the end of consciousness, thunder and rain sounded together.

Going around, Lai An's consciousness seems to have returned to the depths of the laboratory at the Black Shark base, which was the last period of suffering before his death.

When he was on the verge of collapse, he grabbed the leader and cried uncontrollably, saying that it was too late.

Sylph comforted him: "Those who haven't had time yet, the next Matrix will do it for you."

It was the same Black Shark base, and he was the one who stubbornly red-eyed and pressed Jiang Jianming against the training cabin to ask for a kiss.

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

"But he will cherish you in the future, he will make up for all the mistakes he did in the past, and he will... love you very much."

"Do you believe?"

Will Jiang believe it?

At least he himself didn't believe it.

"No, no more...the next one...will never treat him better than me, and it is impossible for him to forgive me and trust me again."

But they finally stood on the top of White Emerald Palace.

The holy sky illuminates the long steps.

Jiang Jianming walked towards him holding the golden and red crown in his hand, possessed himself to crown him, and became the crown princess who stood side by side with him and received the cheers of the crowd.

"Then I hope you will never lose your glory and be omnipotent."

Across life and death, the promise was finally fulfilled.

It's been a long time on this road.

...

In the end, he naturally recalled the communication that crossed the sea of stars before saying goodbye.

"my sweetheart."

my love.

The rain of memory stopped, and the figure that made him nostalgic stood at the end.

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes, his face was clear, and the raindrops fell from the black-haired young man's upturned jaw and from his hair.

"Your Highness."

"I will always be with you."

"Until the end of your life, or when you no longer need it."

how far is Forever?

Jiang said that he will always be behind him.

The blending of memories caused Lai An to fall into chaos for a short time, and he had hallucinations in the short period of time before waking up, imagining a future that did not exist.

Later.

The flames of war are extinguished, and the whole army returns triumphantly.

In the starship on the way home, he sat on the head of the bed with Jiang in his arms and talked lazily, and ate fruit together to analyze the big victory. At night, he turned off the bedside lamp and got under the covers to sleep.

When woke up again, was back in Aslan, the star city of the imperial capital was empty, cheering soldiers and civilians waved their hands in the bright sun, the long wind blew the streets, and white pigeons flew from the church.

When peace came, the official wedding was held soon.

A lot of people came and made noise until midnight. He nervously carried Jiang into the bedroom, thinking about the next steps.

Suddenly, fireworks were set off outside the window.

So they kissed in the grand brilliance of the night, their fingers gropingly intertwined; they stared at each other's pupils, asking for love, asking for the deep heat; they seemed to be smiling, and it seemed that someone was shedding tearsup.

Just like that, forever like this...

Never have to be apart again.

okay?

Alien Alpha, in the depths of the Heroic Monument at the bottom of the First Fortress.

In the treatment cabin of the medical mecha, the eyelids of the sleeping crown prince moved.After a few seconds, he gently opened his eyes.

A snowflake fell quietly.

It landed on the transparent hatch of the treatment cabin, was quickly melted by the heating temperature inside, and flowed down like a tear.

Lai An stared blankly at the snow-falling zenith.

Where is this?

Lai An fumbled and pressed the button on his side.The medical treatment in the treatment cabin stopped, and the infusion needles were retracted one by one. Soon, he also opened the cabin door from the inside.

Lai An supported the cabin door with one hand, sat up straight, frowned and rubbed the corner of her forehead, there was still a little dazed look in the depths of her eyes.

He felt as if he had a big dream.

Barely sorted out the order of memory, Alien Alpha battlefield, Margaret... Jiang fired the main gun, and then what happened?

Remembering it, Jiang took him into the Heroic Monument.

And then what?

His Highness raised his head, and he saw the mech driver's seat in front of him for the first time.

There seems to be a figure sitting there, with his right arm resting on the armrest, from the wrist to the fingers are in a natural state of hanging.

On the ring finger, a thin light is shining.

It is a bright red gold ring.

It was very quiet all around, very quiet, unnaturally quiet.

"……ginger?"

The author has something to say:

The awakened big cat rubbed against his handicapped human in a daze, wanting to say that I remembered it, and we will never be separated again, okay?

But the handicapped man fell asleep peacefully and ignored him.
