For a long time, Jiang Jianming couldn't wake up from his lethargic state.

Consciousness seemed to have been sunk into the deep ocean, or stuffed into a freezer, and he had forgotten who he was and why he was the way he was.

Occasionally, I wonder in a daze, am I already dead?

But the dead should not be able to think about the question "are they dead?"He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking and continued to sleep.He has been suffering from illness for too long, and now those symptoms have finally faded, and he just wants to sleep.

After a long time like this, gradually, he recalled the fragment before he lost consciousness while sleeping.

The boundless night was covered with stars, and he saw the huge black pit under his feet, and the piles of corpses in the pit.

Crystal Chaos patients died in distorted forms, and the dense crystal particles solidified on the corpses.The starlight shone on the prism, which should be beautiful, but he felt very...disgusted.

A man came, a child who had just been infected with chronic crystal disorder, fearful of future pain, and determined to end his life as soon as possible.

But looking at the terrifying giant pit, the child was even more frightened, trembling and crying all the time.

He was already having difficulty breathing, but he still used his almost inaudible voice to persuade the child to persevere.

"A drug is about to be developed, really." He smiled weakly.

"I can't wait...but you can wait and see."

He persuaded him for a long time, but later he was so in pain that he lost consciousness and didn't know what he was talking about. Anyway, the result was good, and he persuaded the child to go back.

When he picked up the gun again, he saw a distorted spherical space unfold at the end of the night sky.

So he waited and waited again.

The result seemed to scare the two of them quite a bit.Lai An didn't dare to wait for the mech to hit the ground before jumping down in the air, Liu Linge slapped the console in the wind and cried: "You fucking little bastard, I can't drive this thing..."

I can't remember what happened afterwards, but only remember the vast starry sky and the falling boy, the platinum curly hair is like a river of silk, and the crystal bone is the magma falling from the sky, enveloping him and engulfing him.

The bandage on Lai An's face fell apart during the fall, and half of the boy's cheek turned out to be crystal-like and bleeding.Three emerald green eyeballs squeezed together in a triangle shape, reflecting the bewildered face of the black-haired young man on the ground.

Jiang Jianming: "..."

Ah this.

Being stared at by 1+3 bloody eyes like that, Rao has an indifferent personality like Jiang Jianming, and he doesn't know how to deal with this situation for a while.

Fortunately, Lai An wasn't prepared for him to deal with it either.The red-gold crystal bone directly picked up Jiang Jianming from the ground, and the next moment his neck felt cold.

It's like being stabbed.

The slightly cool potion was pushed into the body, Jiang Jianming opened his mouth to speak, but before he could speak, he swayed, fell back exhausted, and fainted in the huge crystal bone.

——When the pain that continuously stimulated the nerves disappeared, the extremely weak patient lost consciousness without any resistance.

Mother Blue Star City.

In the middle of the urban area designated as District A, there is the official residence of the ruler of this star city.

At the end of the winter of this year, the royal starship from the Star City of Eternal Paradise escorted a young boy from the royal family here and became the titular city lord of this fallen star city.

It is said that this young man is the illegitimate son of King Odin I, and he is only a few months away from turning fifteen years old.

It is said that this little highness has a cruel and cruel personality, moody, and has an extremely bad relationship with the second emperor.Not only has he never participated in political affairs before, but he also has no support from any aristocratic forces behind him.

What's even more outrageous is that it is said that the prince didn't go to the official residence first after arriving on the blue mother planet, but went to the dirty wild area in person, and collected a group of beauties for his own pleasure.

When the rumors spread to the official residence, the officials of Blue Mother Star City shook their heads and sighed.

This human home planet is indeed about to be abandoned.

Little nurse Maria. is one of the few people who knows the truth.

Where is there any beautiful woman for fun, what His Royal Highness Kaios brought is clearly a dying human with remnant crystals.

To be honest, she had never seen a patient who had been tortured like this.He is so skinny, his body is covered with scars, and most of his organs have been weakened by years of chronic crystal disorder. Doctors dare not even give him nutritional injections.

If the chronic crystal disorder developed to his level, he could only wait for death.But His Royal Highness Kaios brought the latest medicine, three injections every morning and afternoon.

Maria. Witnessing the numerical value that symbolizes the chaos of the crystal particles has dropped little by little, and feels like she is witnessing history.

She later learned that this precious life-saving drug was named crystal tranquilizer.

From late winter to early spring, the patient remained unconscious for two months.

He was too weak, struggling on the verge of dying countless times, as if he would quietly die at any moment.Doctors and nurses must keep an eye on the monitors all day long and be ready for rescue at any time.

His Highness Caios would come to the ward for a long time every day, and occasionally bring another black-haired girl to visit.

When they were alone, the little nurse would be kicked out, so Maria. could only quietly guess the relationship between the three of them.

Once late at night, Maria overheard His Royal Highness Caios standing in front of the hospital bed, murmuring hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

The young man held the patient's pale fingers with a sullen face, and after a long time said in a low voice: "I will make it up to you, you must wake up... Aslan."

In the season when the winter jasmine flowers withered, the patient's vitality finally stabilized, he became aware of the outside world, and turned from a deep coma to a shallow coma.

Doctors who used to disdain to diagnose and treat disabled people couldn't help admiring his strong will to survive, saying that he was the only patient in his life who had developed chronic crystal disorder and had such perseverance.

His Royal Highness Kaios simply stayed in the ward.

Maria felt that this little prince was very different from the outside rumors, at least not as cruel as some nobles she knew.

Just a little withdrawn and weird.Often standing at the head of the bed and looking at the motionless patient can pass most of the day.

The emerald green eyes were cold, with a sense of coercion that didn't match her age, Maria. was a little afraid of him.

When District A officially entered the early summer season, Maria. finally saw the patient's eyes.

Dark and deep.With a few traces of the haze that just woke up from a long sleep, it is like a fog that is blown away.

"Aslan?"

His Royal Highness noticed the changes in the patient earlier than she did. The young man suddenly leaned over the head of the bed, his behavior was a little nervous, "Are you awake!?"

He supported the pale face of the crippled human being, and forced those slack eyes to look at himself, "Don't be afraid, it's me—look at me, do you recognize me?"

But the disabled human being was obviously still in a weak state, as if he was half asleep, half closed his eyes and pressed his face to the prince's palm in a dizzy state, unable to speak.

His Highness coaxed tremblingly for a while, but no one responded, and passed out again in a blink of an eye.

For Jiang Jianming, the semi-drowsy state lasted for a while.

For a long time, his mind was not clear, and he didn't know what happened to him.

Perhaps it was because he had never slept on such a soft bed in his life, had never been covered with such a warm quilt, and had never been served so carefully.

Not to mention those high-tech instruments and painkilling and sedative drugs that have never been seen before.

There is no hunger, no cold, and no need to worry about being bullied tomorrow.The pain has been greatly reduced, and there is no need to vomit blood until it is difficult to breathe, and to faint from pain and then wake up from pain.

So unreal.It's not like being saved from death, but like going to heaven after death.

He rarely indulged his drowsiness, and slept day after day and night after night.

Lai An watched over him every day, stroking his forehead and talking to him softly.

It seems that there is endless patience, and it seems that the fact that he can take care of the disabled human beings on the hospital bed with his own hands makes the young prince satisfied.

Until one fine morning after the rain, the disabled human beings who woke up stared at the window in a daze for a while, then turned their heads on the pillow.

With difficulty, he stretched out his thin fingertips, rubbed the hair of the little prince sleeping beside the bed, and called out His Highness's name.

Lai An woke up startled and was stunned for two seconds.The next moment, he quickly pasted and hugged Jiang Jianming's neck tightly.

...

Everything after that was fine.Soon Lin Song was also taken over to accompany him.The little girl wore a cool black eyepatch, and held up a bowl that day and said excitedly: "Look, Dawn, this is the first time this old lady has had clean meat porridge!"

"There is also rice, look at this rice, it is steaming just after cooking! Take a look!"

"Well, but the food that has never been eaten by others, what if it is poisoned? Uh, can this really be eaten?"

"I mean that little bastard won't blackmail me, what will happen if you can't afford to pay for this meal..."

Jiang Jianming was lying on the hospital bed: "Lin Song, be quiet."

Lai An next to her stood up with a gloomy face, Jinggu carried the little girl, and threw the boxed lunch out of the ward.

Jiang Jianming looked helplessly at the two men arguing, and couldn't help laughing weakly.

Lai An doesn't like noisy people coming and going, and arranged a very clean ward for him.Apart from those intelligent instruments and robots, there is only one young female nurse named Maria. who takes care of him.

And Lai An himself...Jiang Jianming now knows that His Royal Highness's real name is Kaios.

He once wondered if the 1+3 eyeballs he saw before he passed out were hallucinations, because His Highness had no explanation for it.

But that doesn't really matter... At least with Jiang Jianming's temperament, he thinks it doesn't matter. It's understandable that this kid has a problem with destroying human beings with his mouth open and shut.

What is even more incomprehensible is the daily life of the little prince.

Logically speaking, Kaios should be in charge of this vast star city, but at least what Jiang Jianming saw was that the child stayed in his ward every day without doing anything, just watching him play.

Sometimes when he wakes up, he can meet those emerald green eyes just by turning around.

The handsome young man was either standing on the edge of the bed condescending, or sitting on a chair and turning his head, his eyes must be fixed on him.

To be honest, it's a bit weird, a bit gloomy, not like a normal person, but like a wild beast coveting its prey.

Jiang Jianming gradually began to feel that something was wrong.One evening, I couldn't bear it any longer, and struggled to lift my elbows from the bed, "...Your Highness, do you really have that much free time?"

Lai An came over quickly with sharp eyes, and supported his shoulders, "What are you doing? You need to lie down."

The little prince forced him back onto the pillow.Seeing that he was short of breath due to the change in body position, he threw out the crystal bone and picked up the oxygen mask at the head of the bed.

"No need," Jiang Jianming turned his head away, gasped slightly, and frowned, "Your Highness, I can't lie down like this forever, and you can't just lie down and stare at me like this forever."

"?"

Lai An wondered: "Why not?"

Jiang Jianming raised his eyebrows earnestly, and asked softly, "You saved my life and gave me favorable conditions that I could never have imagined before...Maria said that I was in a coma for two or three months, and the medical expenses I spent during that time..."

Lai An interrupted: "If you still know that you have been in a coma for so long, you should also remember that the doctor told you to pay attention to rest and not talk too much."

Jiang Jianming had no choice but to speak concisely: "I just want to know, what value can I give you in return in the future?"

In fact, this sentence is in a sense, very arrogant.

How dare a disabled human being from a humble background and terminally ill in the wild area try to provide value to a powerful new crystal human being and an omnipresent prince with such an attitude of neither humble nor overbearing.

When most people heard it, they would probably laugh at his overreaching.

Unexpectedly, Lai An didn't receive this meaning at all, and simply frowned and asked, "Repay? What do you need to repay?"

Then immediately said firmly, "Of course you don't need to do anything, just watch me by my side. Isn't that what you said at the beginning?"

"..."

Jiang Jianming was blocked back, speechless.

...

The next morning, Lai An came into his hospital room with a special gift.

A plump, round, shiny red apple is presented on a white porcelain plate inlaid with gold lace, like a handicraft.

"It's not just for you."

His Highness Kaios snorted softly, the boy's raised eyelashes gleamed, and he picked out the words reservedly: "But if you forgive me for being late and are willing to stay by my side in the future, I will allow youeat it."
