Ge Xiu's face was blank, his soft, velvety, blond hair was twisted and twisted around, two bony hands were raised to cover the back of his head, and his eyes that were getting bigger due to thinness were black and dazzling. Dingding, it looks a little pitiful.
Lu Lai calmly retracted the evil hand, without the slightest guilt on his face.
He relaxed a little, leaned back on the back of the chair, stared at Ge Xiu, and asked half-truth:
"You are young, what are you thinking about?"
Ge Xiu pouted, raised his hand to straighten his messy hair, and when he raised his head again, his expression had returned to his previous ease.
Lu Lai couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
I saw the young man shrug his shoulders casually, and the smile on his lips was so mischievous that he was a little heartless: "Life is forced, sir."
Lu Lai's eyes were half drooping, and under the thick long lashes of light gold, a pair of silver-blue eyes were smooth, like a calm and unpredictable ocean when the wind was not blowing. .
Ge Xiu raised his eyes to meet his gaze, and his face was still a little fearless, even a little innocent smile.
Their gaze only lasted for a few seconds.
Lu Lai hooked his lips: "That's good."
This sentence came without end, but Ge Xiu knew that this was agreeing to join him.
He rolled his eyes with a smile and stretched out his bony hand towards Lu Lai:
"Pleasant to work with."
Lu Lai also stretched out his hand to hold it, almost wrapping Ge Xiu's icy little fingers in his wide and slender palm:
"Pleasant to work with."
At the end of the simple ceremony, Lu Lai's palms did not loosen up. His well-knotted fingers were steady and calm, and the strength contained in them was strong, like an iron hoop that could not be pryed. The quiet voice deliberately lengthened the tone, and the end sound was magnetic and low:
"but… "
Ge Xiu was a little surprised, he raised one eyebrow, waiting for his next words with leisure.
"—That's when you're an adult."
Lu Lai added slowly.
Ge Xiu raised his brows and stared at him with a bad attitude, his brows were so tight that he could hardly believe his ears: "…Huh?"
Lu Lai didn't seem to be affected by his attitude in the slightest.
"Do you think I've been on the march for so many years and can't measure my bone age?"
His warm and powerful fingertips reached forward, pinched Gexiu's thin wrist, and shook it lightly:
"The Union Constitution stipulates that the residents of the Milky Way become adults at the age of twenty-two. How old are you? Nineteen? Twenty?"
To be honest, Ge Xiu really didn't know how old he was.
He was arrested with no memory, was sentenced in a daze, and then was thrown into this world of punishment without any information.
But no matter what, he must be an adult!
And it must be a long time coming of age!
Gossi was furious. He crunched the remaining candy, gritted his teeth, and said arrogantly: "Aren't you going to overthrow the alliance's hometown? What do you care about the ghost alliance constitution?"
Lu Lai's expression didn't change at all, but Yun Danfeng shook his head gently:
"I just don't agree with the way they govern, but there are provisions in the constitution that I don't object to - such as the age of adulthood."
"… "
Ge Xiu and him stared at each other.
Lu Lai finally let go of his thin, warm wrist that was covered by his palm at the moment, stood up, and placed the chair neatly under the table again, without making any sound during the movement.
He looked at Gossiu:
"From today, I am your acting guardian, and later Hall will arrange a room for you and your crew. Until the Leviathan is repaired, they can stay here, treated like my crew."
Ge Xiu groaned on the table.
Looking at the young man whose anger was clearly in front of him, Lu Lai finally had a real smile in his eyes:
"Wait a minute I'll have the candy delivered to your house."
Ge Xiu finally had a reaction.
He lifted his eyelids and said reluctantly:
"… take more."
The smile in Lu Lai's eyes deepened, and his cold and thin lips raised a slight arc: "Okay."
He adjusted the placket of his clothes, turned around and walked out of the cabin.
Hall, who was standing guard at the door without squinting, followed closely behind.
After they left the cabin a short distance away, Hall endured and endured, and finally said full of doubts and grievances: "... Captain, this subordinate also joined your command when he was nineteen."
Lu Lai strode forward with a slight momentum, without turning his head:
"You are different."
Hall was stunned for a while. He stared at the straight and broad back of his captain. After a while, he heard his calm and indifferent voice coming from the front:
"When you were nineteen, were you so afraid that the world would not be in chaos?"
Hall's answer was a little underwhelming: "...No."
At that time, he was very young and vigorous, and he was full of eyes full of eyes to serve under the army commander he blindly admired. Even if he falsely reported his age, he would not hesitate. At that time, Lu Lai said that he would never go to the right when he went to the left, and asked him to draw a gun on the spot. Suicide can be expected without blinking hesitation.
"More than that, in addition to ambition, he also has the ability to stir up the wind and clouds."
The leather military boots on their feet made a regular sound on the hard metal floor, echoing in the long ship porch.
"Master it properly, he will be the sharpest weapon, otherwise, the hostility and danger in him will endanger the bearer."
Hall gave a thoughtful nod.
In the final analysis, the unstable factors in Ge Xiu were extremely dangerous and too difficult to control.
They came to the end.
The hatch of the war room slowly slid open in front of him. Lu Lai paused a second before walking inward, turning his head to look at Hall who was following behind him:
"Place his room next to mine."
Hall subconsciously straightened up: "Yes!"
In the next second, he digested the order that Lu Lai gave just now, and looked blankly at Lu Lai who was walking towards the war room of the warship: "...Huh?"
Hall's voice seemed to remind Lu Lai.
He remembered something, turned around again, and instructed:
"By the way, send those high-grade candies that were seized in Area B to his room."
The cold metal hatch closed in front of Hall. He stared at the metal plate not far from the tip of his nose, scratching his head.
I don't know why... I always feel like something is wrong.
·
The efficiency of Lu Lai's men was very high. All the crew of the Leviathan were taken to the main ship and assigned the rest cabins. They were all placed in the same area close to the broadside. As Ge Xiu's deputy, Xiao Yi even had his own separate room. He was happily touching everywhere, and his excitement was beyond words.
The same goes for the rest of the crew.
As inhabitants of all the abandoned galaxies on the edge, if they hadn't really wanted to return to their once harsh environment, and at the same time had some unrealistic fantasies about the teenager who took the ship by himself, they would have long ago After leaving, I didn't expect that they actually have a stable place to live, and they have plenty of food and clothing, and they all look like a dream.
Before they could enjoy the peace for a while, Ge Xiu appeared in a haunted ghost.
He pulled up a chair and jumped up, holding a loudspeaker he had found from nowhere, and shouted in a long voice:
"gather--"
He was dragged by him, and Hall, who was tricked and pulled over by him, had a cold face, with a pillar-like pestle on the side.
Ge Xiu smiled as he looked at the crew members who were forced to come together. They stumbled and gathered in the open space in the center of the cabin. They were all as thin as stalks, and their eyes were watching him with great enthusiasm. In one battle, Ge Xiu's status in their hearts has been completely upgraded from a lucky and strong ordinary person to a savior with all the means, looking up at the boy standing on the chair with admiration and awe.
After a few minutes, everyone finally arrived.
Ge Xiu's lazy voice came out wave after wave through the loudspeaker and bounced off the wall behind, filling almost the entire space:
"If you have a skill, come here to register, and if you don't have a skill, you can also register what you want to learn, but you have to learn basic machinery. More work, less work, less work, no hard work. The captain here said, this ship does not support Everyone who eats free food understands—do you—”
Hall gave him a complicated look.
Because there are not many people brought on board by Ge Xiu, these poor people have almost no value to squeeze labor, and their boats can still be supported. Lu Lai has not said any rule of "don't support free food". , but Ge Xiu's lip-smacking words were quite serious, which made Hall a little suspicious whether Lu Lai really mentioned this rule.
"Yes!"
The attitude of the crew members was enthusiastic, but there were very few people, and the answers were sparse and lacking in any momentum.
Ge Xiu put the loudspeaker in his pocket, jumped off the chair lightly, then turned to look at Hall with a smile:
"Come, come, please take a seat."
Hall had an ominous feeling.
He didn't move, just looked at Ge Xiu vigilantly, and Ge Xiu didn't mind, he peeled a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth, smiling without seeing his teeth:
"By the way, your captain has already promised me to let me and you help with the Leviathan's affairs, so - this time, I would like to thank Mr. Hall for helping me with statistics and assignments."
Hall: "… "
He was so cheaply sold by the unscrupulous captain to Gexiu as a coolie.
While the Leviathan's crew was busy joining new jobs, Ghosh began to wander around the main ship, and he seemed to have an extremely strong interest in everything on the ship, changing one thing almost every day. He is addicted to everything from hull maintenance to intelligent AI, from the centralized jurisdiction of the living area to the combat area that is never open at will. He can concentrate on observing the cat in one corner for the whole day, like a scrawny starving ghost, almost scared. to all who turned around.
During this time, Lu Lai was entangled in military affairs, and rarely appeared in front of Ge Xiu.
But as the captain, he had unparalleled control over the entire ship, so that all the relevant information about Ge Xiu was sent to him in detail.
Lu Lai glanced at the report on his desk, and stopped for a moment on the finished product data attached at the back.
Lean, elegant, and hardly something a novice could do.
During this period of time, Ge Xiu was like a sponge, thirsty and madly absorbing all the knowledge that he could come into contact with. The speed was astonishing. Even Hall couldn't help but come to ask Lu Lai's opinion. Don't curb this scary trend to prevent things from developing in an uncontrollable direction, but Lu Lai quietly suppressed all objections, just quietly observing and examining this fast-growing ship in his own ship. individual.
Lu Lai cut off the brain projection.
At this moment, the cabin door suddenly opened, and Hall rushed in in a hurry. He even forgot to observe the usual etiquette, and his voice was tense that could not be concealed:
"He ran away!"
Lu Lai turned to look at him, but there was still no superfluous expression on his face: "Speak clearly."
Hall subconsciously stood up with his head held high, he gritted his teeth, his chest was still heaving rapidly:
"Report Captain! Ge Xiu has run away!"
The author has something to say: Ge Xiu: hee hee hee
