There are undercurrents in the military high command, but for Turan Academy, today is no different from yesterday. On the contrary, because the New Year is approaching, there is a lot of discussion everywhere.
In the public class, the professor mentioned Y before the class officially started. "Y opened up seven new tool models at once last night. Students can take a look. They should be useful in the future."
Xia Zhiyang was excited when he heard the name. He raised his hand and asked loudly, "Professor, I saw on Starnet that the rebels are looking for Y everywhere! Is he doing well recently?"
The professor said jokingly: "This student's question is one of the most difficult questions I have encountered in my teaching career. In fact, I also want to know whether Y is doing well recently, whether he is happy or not, and whether he is sick."
"I, I..." Xia Zhiyang scratched the back of his head, "Then how are you, Professor?"
The professor's wrinkles crinkled as he smiled. "That's good. I've already prepared a new sweater for New Year's Day, and I've also bought new clothes for the Alliance's founding day."
When the class officially started, Xia Zhiyang's ears were burning red. He turned around and talked to Qi Yan: "How embarrassing, so embarrassing, so embarrassing! Why did I ask that question?"
Qi Yan tried his best to comfort them: "Everyone has started class and will forget what you said."
Xia Zhiyang pinched the metal ring on his earlobe, looked left and right, and saw that the class had indeed started, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
It has snowed several times in Turan, but there is no movement outside Turan. Qi Yan feels a little uncomfortable every time he enters and leaves the school gate.
He stepped on the snow residue on the soles of his shoes and asked Lu Fenghan: "Does it snow in the school you used to go to?"
"No," Lu Fenghan gave no respect to the First Military Academy standing across the river, "Our school... Even if we have a weather control system, it won't snow. Because if it snows, we have to clear the snow, and to clear the snow, we need a snow-clearing robot, and to use a robot, we need to supply energy, and to need energy, we need money."
Qi Yan smiled faintly: "It costs money to snow, so why not?"
"Yes, we don't have money." Lu Fenghan also laughed, and thought of the style of the First Military Academy. "But if we really need to sweep the snow, the school should let all students do it together. The name is to strengthen exercise, but the reality is to save money."
This was probably why the entire command ship of the expeditionary force looked like it had never seen money before - the number of graduates from the First Military Academy was too high. They were so greedy for money that Lu Fenghan once thought he was leading a group of pirates.
Before going to bed at night, Qi Yan came to Lu Fenghan's bedroom with the "Glory of Empires" game terminal.
Lu Fenghan has recently stepped up his physical training. He was only wearing a black I-shaped vest, revealing his broad shoulders and tight muscle lines. His legs wrapped in black trousers looked neat and beautiful.
With sweat soaking the ends of his hair, Lu Fenghan stopped doing one-handed push-ups, propped himself up with his wrist, and raised his lips: "Looking to me to play games?"
"Yes," Qi Yan thought about it and finally found a good excuse, "There is a level I can't get past."
Lu Fenghan walked towards him: "Come, let me see."
When handing over the game terminal, Qi Yan had the illusion of being surrounded by strong hormones.
He was forced to look away.
Lu Fenghan leaned against the bed, one of his long legs stretched out, looking quite lazy. He opened the game screen: "Strategic level?"
Qi Yan knelt on the other side of the bed and said, "Yes, I failed to get through several times. Please help me."
After reading the rules of the game, Lu Fenghan knew how to pass this small level, but it was strange because Qi Yan shouldn't be able to pass it.
Although he thought so, Lu Fenghan didn't say anything.
The two of them played games together until twelve o'clock. In a close posture, Lu Fenghan poked Qi Yan's forehead with his fingertips: "It's time to go to bed. Don't stay up late tonight?"
"No."
Seeing Qi Yan holding the game console in his hand but showing no intention of getting out of bed, Lu Fenghan waited for ten seconds: "Do you want tonight—"
Qi Yan looked over with clear eyes.
Lu Fenghan sighed in his heart.
He was wearing a bathrobe and had obviously finished washing up. He came to me with a game terminal in his hand.
"Would you like to sleep with me?"
Before Qi Yan could answer, Lu Fenghan made up another excuse, "I'm a little afraid of the dark tonight."
Qi Yan put the game terminal aside and agreed: "Okay."
Lu Fenghan turned off the lights and left a night light in the corner. Although there was not much difference between having light or not, it barely supported his temporary fear of the dark.
After lying down, Lu Fenghan could see Qi Yan by turning his head.
Qi Yan exuded a sense of relaxation and softness all over his body, and seemed to be extremely at ease.
Lu Fenghan put one hand behind his head and thought, she suddenly came to him to act coquettishly, because she knew he was leaving and couldn't bear to let him go
He asked without any context, "Where you lived before, was there a weather control system?"
If so, just set it to not have thunderstorms in the future.
The little squeamish kid won’t be afraid of not being able to sleep.
Qi Yan's eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of mist in the dim light. He nodded: "It used to be there, but it broke later."
"Not repaired?"
"It was fixed, then it broke again, so it wasn't fixed anymore." Qi Yan explained, "Elisa said we should try to feel the difference in nature, otherwise it's easy to feel like we're living in a virtual world. Gamiye said we should learn to respect nature from nature. The two of them lobbied a lot of people, and in the final vote on 'whether to fix the weather control system', the majority of people said no."
Perhaps it was because the night was too soft, Lu Fenghan didn't know what emotion or hidden worry drove him to ask Qi Yan: "Where did you live before?"
His question was actually a bit over the line.
Qi Yan also knew that Lu Fenghan was not asking about the address written on his personal information.
After a long while, Qi Yan whispered, "Lagoon Nebula, I used to live in the Lagoon Nebula."
He pointed gently in the air: "This is Leto." His finger drew a line to the side, "This is the Messier region." The dotted line folded and he stopped at a certain point, "After five jump points, this is the Lagoon Nebula. This nebula is not big, there are few habitable planets, there are many dust and meteorite belts, it is very dangerous, but very beautiful. Those dust and meteorites are connected together, in the sky, like very thin and light ribbons."
Lu Fenghan followed his movements, remembering them very carefully, and marked the location of the Lagoon Nebula on the star map in his mind.
He thought that when he arrived at the front line of the Southern Cross Region in the future and thought of this person, he would at least know which direction to look.
He also promised: "I will keep it a secret and will not tell anyone the location of the Lagoon Nebula."
Qi Yan said “hmm”.
Calm down again.
Lu Fenghan thought Qi Yan was going to sleep, so even though he wasn't sleepy, he still closed his eyes.
Not long after, the person next to him moved, slowly moved towards his own position, and turned his back to him.
It was clearly just a small movement, but it was like a leaf falling slowly onto the water, or like a flying wild goose passing over the snow.
Lu Fenghan closed his eyes, turned sideways, and hugged Qi Yan from behind.
He felt his prayers pause, but he did not object, nor did he move away.
Crossing the line.
Lu Fenghan thought so, but tried to excuse himself—
I was a little afraid of the dark.
The next morning, Lu Fenghan filled a cup of clean water and handed it to Qi Yan together with the medicine.
The cup was bought by Lu Fenghan for Qi Yan, and there was a white little rabbit with red eyes hand-painted on it.
Qi Yan seemed cold and taciturn to outsiders, but in Lu Fenghan's eyes, she was no different from a little rabbit—she wanted to sleep with him, to be hugged, and to act coquettishly. What else could she be but a soft and fluffy little rabbit
After taking the medicine, Qi Yan curled up on the sofa, flipping through the Leto Daily slowly.
After turning two pages, he suddenly turned to Lu Fenghan and said, "Come here."
Lu Fenghan was sweating after the workout. He went over as he was told and approached with a warm breath. "Hmm?"
Qi Yan stretched out his hand towards Lu Fenghan very naturally.
It's a hugging posture.
Lu Fenghan smiled helplessly, leaned over and picked the person up, sat on the sofa, and let Qi Yan sit on his lap. Almost in just a second, he noticed through the clothes that the person in his arms relaxed.
Lu Fenghan said in a low voice: "Are you uncomfortable sitting on the sofa?"
Qi Yan half-closed his eyes and said "hmm" as his answer.
Compared to people of the same age, Qi Yan is tall enough, but because he is thin, he doesn't weigh much.
It feels like hugging a soft and fluffy cloud.
Lu Fenghan was almost certain that he knew that he would leave and would leave temporarily, so he acted so abnormally.
Almost abnormal dependence and clinginess.
The tip of his nose was touching the ends of Qi Yan's hair, and Lu Fenghan's voice became softer: "Is 'Po Jun' done?"
I didn’t stay up late last night, nor did I stare at a screen while eating breakfast.
"It's almost done. I applied for the right to use the ISCO ultra-optical computer 'Galaxy' and have 'Po Jun' run on it."
"'Galaxy'? The one that takes up eleven underground floors with just one machine?"
"Yes, I built a separate module. To connect the modules completely, only Yinhe can support the huge amount of computing and data of Pojun." Qi Yan's eyes brightened when he mentioned Pojun. "But Pojun is very powerful. After it is completed, I will separate its data core so that an ordinary small optical computer can accommodate it."
Regardless of how much he understood, Lu Fenghan praised without hesitation: "Yes, it is really amazing."
I just don't know whether he is praising people or Pojun.
After the side effects of the drug wore off, Qi Yan regained some energy and stood up: "I'm going to school."
Lu Fenghan, who was still leaning on the sofa, secretly "tsk" - why didn't Turan postpone the class time by an hour.
Two hours isn't bad.
Xia Zhiyang applied for a temporary dormitory at school. He has not been home for a few days, but he is still well-informed.
"It is said, just said, Qi-" In view of Qi Wenshao's indifference to Qi Yan, Xia Zhiyang changed his previous address, "It is said that Jiang Qi's father is ill, and now he lies at home every day. It is said that Jiang Qi's case will go to court, and the sentence will definitely not be light. He is too embarrassed to come out to see people. But my mother said that it seems that he is really ill, and his illness is very serious."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yan's personal terminal prompted that there was new information.
After Qi Yan finished reading, Xia Zhiyang blinked and felt that Qi Yan's look in him was a little subtle.
"What's wrong?"
"The person who sent the message was Qi Wenshao. He said he was sick and asked me to go to Qi's house."
Xia Zhiyang was shocked: "No way, what a coincidence? And why do I always feel that something is wrong, he would personally invite you to the Qi family?"
Qi Yan also felt that something was wrong.
Lu Fenghan said, "Go and have a look? I have a guess I want to prove."
Seeing Qi Yan agreed, Xia Zhiyang quickly raised his hand: "I, I, I, I'll go with you! Even if there is a trap, I am the heir of the Xia family after all, and I still have a few kilograms of weight!"
After the afternoon class, Qi Yan did not go to the laboratory but went directly to Qi's house.
The last time I came to the Qi family was to attend the Qi family celebration banquet. It can be seen that although few people have visited recently, the gardening robot still keeps the lawn very smooth.
After verifying the visitor's identity information, the door opened, and there was no one inside except the housekeeping robots coming and going.
Xia Zhiyang looked around and said, "Why do I feel it's so scary? Is it because the house is too big? No, my house is this big too!"
Seeing Qi Yan lowering his eyes and tapping on his personal terminal, he was curious, "What are you doing?"
Prayer: "Temporarily shut down the housework robot."
The moment he finished speaking, all the household robots in the Qi family stopped moving.
Xia Zhiyang opened his mouth into an O shape: "This... this operation is so cool!"
At this time, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from upstairs. Qi Yan easily bypassed the Qi family's surveillance system: "Qi Wenshao is in the second bedroom on the second floor, he is alone."
When the three of them pushed open the bedroom door, they saw an iron vase rolling down beside the bed. On the bed, Qi Wenshao's face was pale and he was looking at them, breathing heavily.
Xia Zhiyang was shocked. He didn't expect that his mother's news was true. Qi Wenshao looked very ill.
But if the situation is so serious, why aren’t there any medical robots or private doctors
Qi Yan stood three steps away from the bed, with no intention of moving closer.
Qi Wenshao's lips were dry and he stared at Qi Yan: "You are here after all."
However, within a short period of time, he seemed to lose weight rapidly, his cheekbones sunken, and he stared at Qi Yan as if he was holding on to a floating log. He leaned forward and spoke very quickly, "Qi Yan, you have to save me... Jiang Yunyue wants to harm me, she wants me dead!"
Xia Zhiyang was frightened by his demeanor and took a half step back.
Qi Yan calmly asked back: "Jiang Yunyue wants you to die?"
"Yes! She's gone crazy! She took advantage of me not paying attention and fed me something. I think I'm going to die!" Qi Wenshao raised his skinny hands, his breathing trembling. "She has other people to rely on. There are people backing her up and giving her advice! I heard her communicating with someone in front of me, discussing how to kill me!"
Qi Wenshao never thought that one day, Jiang Yunyue, who always looked up to him, would take his life.
He began to recall why he let Jiang Yunyue into the Qi family, because she came from an ordinary family, had a gentle personality, and only a little self-righteous cleverness. Everything she had was given by him. Without him, Jiang Yunyue was nothing.
He was afraid of Lin Zhi and also afraid of Qi Yan. The self-esteem that was shattered by his former wife and son was rebuilt in front of Jiang Yunyue.
However, he almost died at the hands of this woman whom he had never even looked into his eyes.
Lu Fenghan had no intention of sympathizing with this situation, but asked the key question: "Why were you able to contact Qi Yan?"
"Jiang Yunyue changed the settings of all the household robots, took away my personal terminal, and closed the door to visitors, not allowing me to see anyone. But she didn't know that there was a robot in the house with a 'security defense', and my orders were the highest instructions."
Lu Fenghan: "So you ordered that robot to find your personal terminal while Jiang Yunyue was away?"
"That's right." Qi Wenshao didn't dare to contact other people, fearing that they were in cahoots with Jiang Yunyue, so he had no choice but to find Qi Yan. He coughed weakly a few times, "Qi Yan, please save me. As long as you save me, I will let you be the heir of the Qi family!"
Qi Yan was unmoved: "I am very rich."
Lu Fenghan looked at Qi Yan and felt that Qi Yan’s explanation was very stimulating at this moment.
Qi Wenshao's expression froze, he looked disdainful, but still spoke kindly: "Qi Yan, you are still young and have no idea. No matter how rich you are, can you compare with the Qi family?"
He was sure that Qi Yan would be tempted.
Qi Yan was too lazy to say anything and directly displayed the account balance.
A string of numbers appeared above the personal terminal, and Xia Zhiyang exclaimed: "How many digits are there? Nine digits? Ten digits? Eleven digits?"
Lu Fenghan also raised his eyebrows.
He knew Qi Yan was rich.
I just didn't expect him to be so rich.
I couldn’t help but calculate again and again, wondering if I could save up a fraction of the balance in Qi Yan’s account in ten years.
Qi Wenshao couldn't believe it: "Impossible... Impossible!"
His expression was gloomy. If Qi Yan didn't need the Qi family's property, then what could he use to negotiate a deal with Qi Yan
"By the way, your mother...your mother she—"
Qi Yan interrupted Qi Wenshao and said, "Mom once told me that the you she loved had already died."
Qi Wenshao was struck by lightning.
The me you like
He struggled to recall what he was like in college.
His family background gave him a good upbringing and conversation skills. In order to meet Lin Zhi, he would go to Lin Zhi's class every day when he had time. He would definitely be in Lin Zhi's public classes. In order to understand what Lin Zhi said casually, he would look up various materials all night long. When Lin Zhi debated with others on various topics, he would be full of pride...
Did he love Lin Zhi? He did love her at that time, otherwise he would not have pursued her so persistently for three years.
When Lin Zhi agreed to his proposal, he seemed to cry in a very ungraceful manner.
But when did it start to change
Was it when he discovered that Lin Zhi had many like-minded friends, or when he discovered that the words and formulas that Lin Zhi said were not only new to him, but also completely incomprehensible to him? Or was it that he had gradually grown from a student to a mature person, but Lin Zhi was still the same as when he was in school, without any growth, only with a single-minded focus and purity on scientific research
No, it might be... realizing his own incompetence and stupidity, admitting his own mediocrity, was too terrifying for him.
So after Lin Zhi left, he would involuntarily use Lin Zhi as a reference for comparison, feeling that neither Jiang Yunyue nor anyone else could compare to her.
He looked at Qi Yan and said stiffly, "When your mother died—"
Qi Yan said coldly: "If my mother had cared about you and had any attachment to you, she would not have chosen to leave this world."
Qi Wenshao took a long breath, even causing him to cough, and said hoarsely, "Is that so."
It turned out that he was no longer important to Lin Zhi.
It turned out that he had lived such a failure in his life.
He lost Lin Zhi, and with a condescending attitude, chose an ordinary woman who he thought he could completely control, until he had invisibly nurtured this woman's ambition to grow bigger and bigger, until she regarded him as a stumbling block and was ready to get rid of him easily.
His beloved son committed academic fraud and premeditated murder. He had always pretended to be weak in front of him, coaxed and deceived him, and now he is in prison.
But to the woman he once loved and his other son, he was just an insignificant existence.
Qi Wenshao suddenly lost his strength.
He looked at Qi Yan, his voice even hoarser: "The medicine Jiang Yunyue gave me is called 'Hejian'. Do you know what it is?"
Lu Fenghan replied: "'River alkaloids' is a chronic neurotoxin. It is made by the rebels and can make a person gradually weak while awake, and eventually suffocate to death. The Alliance has not yet developed a treatment."
The fact that Jiang Yunyue, a Leto noblewoman, was able to obtain "river alkali" speaks volumes about itself.
Lu Fenghan sent a text message to Vincent, asking him to help keep an eye on the person.
After hearing these words, Qi Wenshao was not too surprised. He just felt it was ironic—the person in front of him in the end was the son whom he once rejected and feared.
After leaving Qi's house, Xia Zhiyang was still in shock.
"Why did Jiang Yunyue want to kill Qi Wenshao? Was it for the Qi family's property?" Xia Zhiyang grew up in Leto. Although he was usually careless, he was very sensitive in this regard. "If Jiang Yunyue's goal was the family property, she would definitely want to get rid of you. Then the previous car accident-"
"Maybe Jiang Qi was instigated by her." Lu Fenghan said what Xia Zhiyang wanted to say.
"Yes, yes, I think so too!" Xia Zhiyang was getting more and more frightened the more he thought about it. "It's terrible. Without Qi Yan, Jiang Qi will be sentenced, and if Qi Wenshao is killed, she will be the only legal heir to the Qi family's property!"
He looked back at the Qi family's house and felt that Qi Wenshao was very pitiful, but he also thought that maybe this was just his own fault.
All results come from the choices he has made.
At night, Lu Fenghan waited deliberately.
Sure enough, not long after, Qi Yan came to his bedroom holding a soft pillow.
She placed her pillow next to Lu Fenghan's and arranged it neatly before asking, "Can I sleep here?"
Lu Fenghan only occupied half of the bed: "Of course."
The two of them lay down and turned off the lights. Outside the window, they could faintly hear the sounds of cruise planes taking off and landing.
Qi Yan closed his eyes and spoke in a low and clear voice: "I can't understand his thoughts. Everyone is a different individual. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone has their own shortcomings and advantages."
Lu Fenghan quickly realized who "he" was referring to.
Qi Yan gave an example: "Xia Zhiyang is very good at communicating with people. There is never a dull moment when he is around. Chen Mingxuan is very good at playing games. Ye Pei is very good at coordinating and assigning tasks. Mondrian can cooperate with different people. Chagall has good physical fitness. There are many more people. Each of them has different excellences."
After listening to this, Lu Fenghan gently covered Qi Yan’s eyes with his hands.
Soft eyelashes brushed against his palm.
He thought, you are so pure that you can appreciate the excellence in everyone.
Not everyone can do it.
Looking at Qi Yan's slightly upturned nose and delicate lip lines, Lu Fenghan asked him: "What about me? You have promoted so many people one after another, what about me? In your mind, what are my strengths?"
When he asked this question, he actually showed a rare nervousness.
Qi Yan spent quite some time thinking, but it didn’t seem like it was very long either.
In the dimly lit room, Lu Fenghan heard Qi Yan's voice.
"You're good at everything."
