The entrance on one side of the cruise hall has been crowded into a pile. This is a channel for a one-day trip to the moon. There are not many people on weekdays. After all, the moon has already been developed to be almost the same as the earth, and it is very convenient to go back and forth. It doesn't mean much. The passage on the opposite side of the hall is almost full of people coming and going, because there are currently more popular planet tours on Mars with mature facilities and Neptune, which has just been developed.
At this moment, the reason why the passageway for one-day trips to the moon where there are few people on weekdays is rarely crowded with people is because of the existence of a certain person.
The black-haired boy was leaning against the silver-white metal wall with his arms folded, his long legs wrapped in navy blue jeans were taller than the normal standing person next to him even if he leaned against the wall .
He lowered his head, his fine black hair fell down, revealing only half of his face like the first snow, but even if only half of that face was exposed, people couldn't take their eyes off it. The long and narrow phoenix eyes not only lack the slightest charm, but reveal a very sharp meaning, like the blade of ice and snow.
The thin lips, with a hint of pinkness of cherry buds, made that tall and handsome young man look as handsome as a legendary elf.
As soon as the boy stood there, the people coming and going couldn't help but focus on him. No matter men, women, old or young, they subconsciously slowed down, just to look at the boy again, and many women even did it for it. Stop - thus resulting in the originally empty lunar one-day tour channel being surrounded and airtight.
"Which big star is it?"
"A new debut?"
"You look like a model."
"Does anyone know?"
The crowd was whispering, mostly women whispering to each other, talking in low tones. But they checked the information for a long time, but they couldn't find the star or model who was suspected to be the young man in front of him.
But it's no wonder they think the person in front of them is a star or a model, because the boy just stood there casually leaning against the wall, and insisted on making the slightly dilapidated metal passage into a scene carefully shot in the most high-end holographic projection studio. The effect of the exquisite posters - and the ordinary black hooded jacket and jeans were worn out of the grade of global luxury brands.
Although there are people who are very curious about this young man who is suspected to be a celebrity model, and some people are eager to strike up a conversation, but the cold aura of the young man makes people unable to get close to him for some reason.
If it weren't for the fact that the league law now strictly manages personal privacy rights, and it is impossible to confirm whether this young man is a celebrity model or other public figure who can take pictures, I am afraid that many people have directly turned on the smart lights stuck on their ears. The mirror was shot.
"What is he doing here?"
"Like waiting for someone?"
"Could it be a girlfriend? Don't~~ I just fell in love at first sight~~"
"If someone doesn't have a girlfriend, it won't be your turn, okay?"
"It hurts."
"It must be very stressful to be his girlfriend, that face is just..."
"Don't worry, the pressure is definitely not on you."
"Is it really okay for you to be so worried all the time!"
"Speaking of which, maybe his girlfriend is not worse than him?"
"Wait a minute—he moved—moved!"
The crowd of onlookers was agitated, because the young man who had been standing there with his hands folded against the wall suddenly moved. He put down his hands, stood up straight, raised his head that had been hanging down, and turned to this side.
The eyes hidden under the fine eyelashes also lifted up. They were a pair of dark blue eyes, like a frozen lake under a glacier. When they glanced at you, there was almost an indescribable thrilling beauty.
It's just that those scorchingly cold eyes suddenly glowed a little softly in the next second, and the sudden reversal formed an extreme contrast, which made the hearts of those who looked at it tremble slightly. I just feel sour and astringent at the apex of my heart, thinking how great it would be if the ultimate reversal was for myself.
I don't know how stunning the girl that this boy can see is...
With this in mind, everyone followed the young man's gaze, hoping to see a stunningly beautiful girl with a face not inferior to the young man's. The beauty of the man and the beauty of the woman, they had a good time watching the beauty of the prosperous age today.
…
strangeness
Everyone looked left and right for a while, but they couldn't find the beautiful girl they had imagined. There are quite a few people in that direction, although there are a few girls, and one or two good-looking ones, but compared with that boy, they are almost like the sky and the earth.
Just when they were about to continue searching, the black-haired kid who was selectively ignored by everyone looked around for a while, then looked this way, his eyes lit up, and he ran over happily.
"Brother Michael~~"
The kid who ran over excitedly threw himself on the boy in full view.
As soon as the two small arms stretched out, they hugged the boy's long legs unceremoniously, rubbed his fluffy head on the boy's elastic thigh, and looked up at the boy with a silly face Have fun.
Fuck, I also want to hug, and I also want to rub.
Some people can't help but think this way in their hearts.
Little Mute, who was holding the boy's thigh, was picked up in the next second.
Michael held the little guy by the back collar with one right hand, straightened his arms, and narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly.
"late."
He said, his tone was a little cold, and he was obviously a little upset.
It was because of this little guy's lateness that he had to stand here and be watched by everyone.
The little guy who was being carried by him was dangling in the air, looking at him with his little head tilted, not afraid of his cold expression, and then he grinned, just being carried by him, and stretched out his two arms towards him. Only a small arm.
"Brother Michael hug~"
Little Mutt stretched out his small hands and said expectantly, and then the small ball-like body was still dangling in mid-air, like a small pendulum.
Michael: "..."
I always feel that I can't get angry with such a stupid and cute guy.
The young man thought so, and didn't bother to say any more. He shrank the little guy's right arm, raised his left arm to wrap around the little guy's leg, turned around and walked into the almost deserted passage with little Mutt in his arms. .
"Oh oh oh—I'm not waiting for my girlfriend, I'm waiting for my younger brother! You can have this!"
"No, even if it's not a girlfriend, I still think you're useless."
"Brother is so cute too~~ A small ball, I really want to hug~"
"But the two brothers don't look alike."
"That little brother isn't pretty, but he's also cute~~"
The boots Michael wore today were too long, covering almost half of his slender calves, and they were also a bit heavy. The soles of the black boots made a dull sound when they stepped on the metal floor. Because there were very few people in the passage, he was almost the only one walking, so the echo of his footsteps in this long passage sounded very clear and loud.
The metal tunnel was shining in all directions, and the little Mutter was hugged by Michael to fulfill his wish, happily hugging Michael's neck, and that soft little face was pressed against Michael's cheek.
The child's body temperature was high, and his cheeks were warm, and the warmth was transmitted along the tight skin, which quickly melted away the little unhappiness in the boy's eyes.
"Why are you late?"
Michael asked, his voice was low, revealing a kind of metallic coldness, different from his handsome appearance, that voice made people feel a little chilled.
But little Mutt was obviously not in the range of this trepidation, he put his arms around Michael's neck showing a little troubled look.
"Sister Tasha and uncle came in the morning, and my mother asked me to accompany Tasha and not let me come out."
"... Then it's fine if you don't come."
Although Michael's tone was calm and he couldn't hear any emotion, the child was still very sensitive to the teenager's unhappiness.
The big dark eyes blinked, and the little Mute hugged Michael's neck and rubbed against his face a few times. The child's skin was tender and warm, like dough.
"No~ I want to play with Brother Michael~"
The child's voice is soft and waxy, like cotton candy, as if the sweet taste can be felt from the voice.
Michael's eyes softened, he touched the little guy who was still rubbing his face, and then heard the little guy continue to say something.
"Brother Michael is the prettiest~~"
Michael: "..."
Is it really good for the kid to continue to maintain this kind of values
There is always a feeling that this kid who only looks at his face may be abducted by someone who looks good one day.
...
……………
Mute has always wanted to go to the starry sky. He has always felt that the ground he is stepping on is incredible, and he is standing on an incredible planet.
His eyes widened the first time he saw the blue planet sitting quietly in the dark sky in the stereoscopic image in school.
That was man's planet, his planet, that was the ground he stepped on—beautiful.
I really want to see it with my own eyes.
The child thought so, and begged his parents to take him on a spaceship, and take a look at the planet under his feet in the starry sky.
In fact, this is not a difficult thing, but the children's parents have always been very repulsed to leave the earth. They have never traveled to the moon or other planets. They don't like the feeling of leaving the earth. Therefore, even if they love their children very much, they He did not agree to the child's request.
Little Mutt is very sensible. When he found that his parents were embarrassed by his request, he never raised this request again. He thought, wait a minute, when he grows up, he will take a look for himself.
As long as he is fourteen years old, he can go to the starry sky by himself as an official adult at that time.
But now he seems to be able to achieve his wish ahead of schedule.
There were not many people on the spaceship and the space was large, but the interior of the spaceship that had just escaped from the earth's atmosphere was still pitch black. Little Mutt nestled obediently in his big brother's arms, feeling dizzy all over.
The acceleration of the spaceship out of gravity is a bit exciting for children who are riding a spaceship for the first time, just like doing a roller coaster.
"Dizzy, Brother Michael, I'm so dizzy."
He sat sideways on Michael's lap and whispered with his arms around Michael's neck, obviously acting like a spoiled child.
Looking at the baby in his arms rubbing against him coquettishly, as well as those watery eyes looking at him like black grapes, as well as those soft and tender voices, there was a strange feeling deep in his chest. It felt like a dull pain, but it was not the disgusting kind of pain. It was like the feeling of an invisible hand pricking the softest part of his heart, which made his heart sour and soft. Soft.
"Um."
After saying this, he raised his hand and gently rubbed Mute's temple.
"Good, it will be fine in a while."
After Michael said this, little Mutter sat obediently, and in the dark, his eyes blinked and looked around curiously.
After a while, the dark cabin lit up. The board opposite where they were sitting was also raised, revealing small oval windows, through which a soft twilight seeped in.
Little Mutt's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to jump off the ground and run towards the row of oval windows. But when he ran over, he realized that he was too short to reach the window, so he was dumbfounded.
He stood under the window, looked up at the window for a while, and finally figured out a way to turn around and look at the people behind him.
Michael had already followed, standing right behind him, looking down at him with his arms crossed, his eyes slightly raised. Because he was a little dissatisfied with the fact that little Mutt left him and ran away just now, even if he knew what the little guy was looking forward to now, he didn't move.
Little Mutter blinked and stretched out two small arms towards Michael.
"Brother Michael~~"
He yelled sweetly, with a soft child's voice like cotton candy.
The pitch-black eyes are like young deer in the jungle, bright and innocent, making people feel soft-hearted just looking at them.
"Don't run first next time."
"Yes~~"
With a scoop of the boy's hand, he easily picked up the child and approached the window.
The child tilted his head and looked towards the window.
…
In the dark and vast starry sky, countless stars are dotted in the boundless sea of stars.
The blue planet stayed quietly in the dark starry sky dotted with starlight.
It is a piece of blue that seems to be able to penetrate the deepest part of the human heart, with an infinitely soft breath.
The soft white clouds surrounding that piece of blue paint beautiful and mysterious patterns on the blue planet.
For thousands of years, ten thousand years, hundreds of millions of years, this blue planet has been quietly staying in this starry sky.
It contains all life.
... ... ...
The child opened his eyes wide. At this moment, he held his breath. The blue planet was reflected in his pupils, seeped in, and penetrated into the bottom of his heart.
The inconceivably beautiful blue planet in the pitch-black starry sky was imprinted in his soul at this moment.
He thought he would never forget it in his life.
The breathless beauty he saw will remain in the deepest part of his memory forever.
That blue planet, that gentle planet that gave birth to all life.
human planet.
Earth.
...
……………
It was already dark when we left the cruising hall. Michael held the little guy in his arms with one hand, and Mutt seemed to be very tired, lying on top of him listlessly, with his eyes half-closed, and his little head pointing up and down, looking like he was about to fall asleep soon .
The boy walked forward, the light pulled his shadow long on the ground, and he walked into the narrow path between the towering steel buildings. There was no light, and shadows enveloped his body.
The child lying on his shoulders was still nodding his head. The night wind was cold, and he had already put the black hooded jacket he was wearing on the child. Because it was too big, it almost covered the child. wrap up.
Glancing at the shadow corner on the right side out of the corner of his eyes, Michael withdrew his gaze, and while continuing to walk forward, he raised his hand and pulled up the hat behind his clothes to cover Little Mutt's head. Because the hat was so big that when it was pulled up, it almost covered the child's entire head. The child reflexively grabbed the hat and tried to pull it away, but he held his hand.
"good."
The boy said that his voice was rare and gentle.
"It's windy."
His tone seemed to be coaxing. It was obviously the first time in his life that he used such a coaxing tone, but he said it very naturally at the moment.
Little Mutt, whose head was covered by a hat and couldn't see clearly in the pitch black, blinked sleepily, then obediently lay on Michael's shoulder and let out a hum, with a strong nasal sound, his little head tilted and tilted. It's like falling asleep in the next second.
However, when he heard the next sentence, his eyes lit up and he immediately regained his energy.
Michael asked him, "Want to fly?"
"want!"
Little Mutt answered decisively.
"Not afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Well, close your eyes."
"Good~~"
As soon as little Mute closed his eyes, his body suddenly lightened, and his whole body was thrown high up, as if flying to a height of five or six meters.
The child let out a crisp laugh in the air, he opened his arms and legs happily and fluttered in the air, pretending to be a bird, and looked at the clear night sky with his eyes wide open, where the child was covered with stars.
The child in the sky was bathed in the starlight, and below, hidden in the darkness in the shadow of the tall building, Michael who threw the child to the sky raised his eyes, the dark blue pupils that were soft a second ago At this moment, the gaze has turned into a sharp blade of ice and snow.
He raised his hand, and the sharp blade caught in his fingers cut the throat of the tall man who suddenly attacked.
Before the man died, he saw the boy's eyes glanced over, which made the man's heart freeze for a moment. The boy's eyes were like a wild beast emerging from the darkness, and the terrifying aura burst out from the eyes that were burning with ferocity. It's heart-breaking to see.
The blood in the throat was splattering, and the man's pupils were dilated to the point where it was impossible for a living person to lose their brilliance.
The boy stretched out his hand and pulled the man's body over in front of him to block the incoming bullets. Then he threw away the blade and took out the gun from the waist of the dead body.
It was very quiet in the dark, only the crisp laughter of children in the sky could be heard.
In the darkness, the dark blue pupils of the beast were frighteningly bright.
Within a few breaths, the boy came out from the shadow of the tall building, unable to see how many corpses fell in the invisible darkness.
The boy's pitch-black boots stepped on the ground in an understatement that didn't even change his breathing rate. On the way he walked, there were light blood marks on the soles of his boots, one step at a time.
Stretching his hands forward, Michael easily caught the little Mutt who fell from the sky, and his narrow phoenix eyes glanced at the excited little guy.
"Fun?" he said, "Go back."
"Good~~"
The child suddenly saw something and blinked, "Brother Michael, you've rubbed dirt on your face."
Pointing to the bright red on the boy's cheek, he said, then lowered his head and took out a small handkerchief from his trousers pocket, leaned over and wiped the boy's face vigorously a few times.
Until the spot of bright red was wiped off, little Mutter looked left and right at Michael's face, showing a satisfied expression.
Hmm~ big brother's face is pretty, so don't let it get dirty.
He thought contentedly, leaned over and rubbed against the cheek of his big brother who was wiped clean by him.
Michael let the little guy toss on his face, and when he felt that soft cheek pressed against him, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at little Mutter, and the corners of his lips twitched.
Under the fine eyelashes, the hostility in the depths of the dark blue pupils, which were full of starlight, softened and dissipated little by little.
"Brother Michael."
"Um."
"that… "
The little child hesitated to speak, pointed his fingers, and glanced at Michael.
"You still want to go?"
"Yeah! I want to go!"
"no."
A child's body will affect its development if it stays in the weightless universe for a long time, at most once a year.
The young man's answer made little Mutt's face pale instantly. He pouted, as if he was a little unhappy, but he didn't make a fuss, he still hugged Michael's neck obediently, but his eyes dimmed. a bit.
"Next year." Michel rubbed his fluffy little head and said, "I'll take you to see it at this time next year."
The child raised his head abruptly, looking at him with bright dark eyes.
The little face the size of a palm came closer, and soft lips kissed him on the cheek.
"Okay!"
The corner of the boy's lips curved again.
"Well, it's an appointment."
He said, lowered his head slightly, and kissed the corner of the child's smiling eyes.
...
……………
[It's an appointment.]
[Well, it's an appointment.]
—That was a promise that was never fulfilled in the end—
