Xi Wei didn't know how he returned to the palace in a daze. He felt as if his feet were stepping on cotton, and he even felt that the whole world in front of him was crumbling.
—What does Claire mean to him
—Why was he so sad when he heard the news of Claire's accident
Was it the agent who had been by his side in his previous life to take care of his daily life and help him become the best actor? Or is it the friend who grew up together in this life and his childhood sweetheart can always help him at critical moments
Regardless of his identity, Xi Wei only knew that that person was always standing where he could see him when he turned his head, and always looked at him with a smile on his face. Whenever he encountered difficulties, as long as he met Claire's With a smile, Xi Wei's mood will become extremely relaxed, because he knows that no matter what happens, that person will accompany him to face it.
For two whole lifetimes, that person never left him. At first, Xi Wei could still treat Claire as a good friend and brother, but after Claire confessed to him seriously, Xi Wei realized that all of this was because of liking for him. .
What does it feel like? Xi Wei didn't know it before. Even though he has acted in many TV dramas and played many infatuated male protagonists, he knows that those scripts and lines are fake, and he is just acting.
But now, he finally understood.
It turns out that the feeling of worrying about a person will make people sleepless, and it turns out that when a person leaves, one's entire heart will feel uncomfortable as if it has been hollowed out.
Claire has been out of contact for so long, it must be bad luck.
Thinking that that person was no longer around, Xi Wei felt empty in his heart, as if a part of his life had been suddenly stripped away.
——Until now, he didn't know that Claire was so important to him!
The surprise when I first met Claire is still vivid in my memory. At that time, I thought that I was so happy because I could meet a friend from the previous life in this world, just like meeting a rare "confidant" in the crowd.
Only now did he understand that Claire was not just a confidant to him.
From now on, there will be no one who understands him like Clare, and no one will look at him tenderly and say with a smile, "Xi Wei, I like you."
Thinking of this, Xi Wei felt as if his heart had been hollowed out by both hands. He pressed his hands on his chest vigorously, but found that the pain from the bottom of his heart still couldn't be relieved one iota.
Pain into the heart, pain into the bone marrow...
Because, the person who loved him the most, Claire, whom he had always mistaken for a friend, left suddenly before he could understand what he wanted.
This year's New Year is a festive day for many people.
Carlo and Aidean plan to take a honeymoon trip after their wedding. Caesar and Brian are both over 18 years old. After the New Year, they are going to pack their bags and set off to study at the San Romia Military Academy. The second princess Sia has good news of her pregnancy, and the third princess Sirin also successfully graduated from Ellen College.
All the friends and relatives around him were settled. Only Xi Wei, who pretended to be fine on the surface, couldn't find a way to clear up his mood.
Claire's departure was like a thorn in the bottom of Xi Wei's heart. Although he usually had no symptoms, once he calmed down and thought about the past, the thorn would make Xi Wei's heart bloody.
After sending off Carlo and Ed'an, it was also the day when the Imperial Military Academy started together. The little prince Caesar and Uncle Berg's son Brian took the admission notice and packed their luggage excitedly.
Seeing the happy faces of his grown-up brothers, Xi Wei couldn't help but think back to when Claire was admitted to the military academy at the age of 16 and became a child prodigy praised by the people all over the empire. Looking back now, he must have put in more hardships than Caesar, Brian and the others in order to take the military academy entrance exam early.
Xi Wei didn't fully understand why Claire worked so hard to get admitted to the military academy in advance.
Too bad it's too late...
The special suspension car of the Royal Guard was parked in the square of the palace waiting for the little prince Caesar. Xi Wei patted his younger brother on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Study hard after arriving at school, don't embarrass your father, let alone fight!" If you think you are a prince, you will bully your classmates, you are the one who will inherit the throne in the future, you must be modest and prudent in your life, understand?"
Caesar, who was reprimanded, nodded obediently: "Understood, Brother Wang."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xi Wei again, suddenly stretched out his arms, and hugged Xi Wei forcefully: "Brother Wang, you..."
"Um?"
"Don't be too sad about Claire." Caesar said seriously, "There are so many excellent Alphas in the empire, Brother Wang will definitely meet better ones."
He obviously said this to comfort his brother, but he didn't know that these words pierced into Xi Wei's heart like a sharp knife.
Yes, there are so many excellent Alphas in the empire...but Claire only has one.
There is only one Claire who understands his past, respects his ideas, and is willing to accompany him no matter what happens.
Xi Wei resisted the pain in his heart, gently stroked his brother's hair, and said in a low voice, "You don't understand, I... only like him, he is very special to me."
This sentence has been said countless times before, especially in front of his father. In order to avoid his father's engagement to Carlo, Xi Wei dragged Claire out as a shield.
"I like Claire" "I love him" "I only have Claire in my heart"...
In the past, Xi Wei could say these words calmly every time, it was because he knew very well that he was acting, and he didn't need to put too much emotion into it, as long as he did a good job on the surface to hide it from the people around him.
But today, when he said these words, his voice was a little choked—
Because he knew that this time, it was true.
After the influence of the pheromone passed, he was still worried about Claire and thought about it day and night. He really liked Claire, but it was too late to wake up.
Caesar saw the sad expression on Brother Wang's face, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "But, Claire is gone... Brother Wang, you can't wait for him forever, can you?"
"I know." Xi Wei interrupted his younger brother, "Did the queen mother send you the message?"
Brother Wang is too smart, I really can't hide anything from him... Caesar touched his nose in embarrassment, and said, "Cough, the queen mother also sees that you are depressed, and she loves you so much. What she means is that it is more suitable to meet someone." Alpha, you can get out of this past relationship... Time will help you forget Claire."
This guy is only 18 years old, and he doesn't know what liking is at all, but he speaks the truth clearly and with a very serious expression.
Xi Wei couldn't help laughing, and patted his younger brother on the head lightly: "When you fall in love with someone in the future, you will know that if you really like someone, it won't be so easy to forget."
Caesar opened his mouth as if he wanted to defend himself, but Xi Wei interrupted him directly: "I know what's going on with me, so don't worry about it. Get in the car, Admiral Reg is still waiting for you."
"...Okay." Caesar nodded reluctantly, and hugged Xi Wei vigorously, "Brother Wang, take care."
Not far away, seeing the scene of the two sons embracing and saying goodbye, Queen Anna's eyes couldn't help turning red.
His Majesty Trand gently put his arms around her shoulders, and said, "The children have grown up, don't worry too much, Caesar will definitely be able to take care of himself after he goes to the military academy, and Xi Wei is stronger than we imagined."
"I'm not worried about Caesar. He goes to school with Berg's children and can take care of each other... But Xi Wei... Xi Wei is just too strong, so I'm even more worried about him." Queen Anna looked at Xi Wei The back turned and left, and said distressedly: "Since knowing about Claire's accident, Xi Wei has never shed a single tear. In order not to worry us, he forced himself to smile every day. Claire and his childhood sweetheart, the two of them even made a marriage contract. Now that Claire is gone, how sad he must be... "
When Queen Anna said this, she was already in tears. As a mother, she knew the pain in Xi Wei's heart, and felt sorry for Xi Wei's strength even more, but she had no choice but to fear that speaking out would make her son even more sad.
His Majesty Trande tightened his arms around his wife, sighed softly, and said, "I believe Xi Wei can come out slowly, give him some time."
The news of Claire's accident was concealed for three full months, and finally the news leaked out. The media of the Empire began to report the matter in great detail—three months ago, at the edge of the Iswell Galaxy, the Imperial Glory Legion and the Federation Greedy Wolf Legion accidentally exchanged fire. Major General Claire led the Star Legion to support, but was surrounded and ambushed by the Federation Legion.
It is said that Major General Claire drove out of the encirclement with Marshal Rosen in his mecha. It's a pity that the Mecha Blue Star was hit on the flank by the electromagnetic artillery of the federal enemy during the breakout process. The balance device was destroyed, and the fuselage was damaged in a large area. live.
This is the process of Claire's accident. The thrill of it is difficult to describe in words, and the military department issued a brief announcement to explain the ins and outs of the incident clearly.
In order to commemorate Major General Claire, the Imperial Army also specially held a press conference to publicly commend Major General Claire for his bravery, expressed great regret for his sacrifice, and decided to bury his military uniform and relics in the Imperial Martyrs Cemetery .
Xi Wei watched the live broadcast of the press conference expressionlessly, then turned around and came to Claire's home.
Mrs. Grace knew the news of her son's accident three months ago, so when Xi Wei saw her, she was already in a calm mood. She took a box of things that Claire kept in the safe To Xi Wei, Xi Wei took the box, opened it, and found that it was full of traces of their growth experience.
That painting was drawn by Claire when she was very young. The two small figures are holding hands. The names of Xi Wei and Claire are written on the bottom, and the logos of Omega and Alpha are written on the top of the head. There is a big question mark behind Omega.
This is a gift from little Claire to little Xi Wei. Xi Wei still remembers being very disgusted at the time, thinking that Claire is really a "soul painter", and his drawing level can be scored negatively. Unexpectedly, this guy actually drew two pictures, one person One, and this painting that belongs to him has always been kept in the safe. After many years, it is still brand new as if it has just been painted.
There are still many books in the box. They are books about mechs that Xi Wei read when he was a child. Claire still looks for them after returning home. Do the same thing as Xi Wei, so that there will be more common topics to talk about...
That was their childhood in this life.
Looking at these childhood memories now, everything is vivid in his mind, Xi Wei closed the box with trembling fingers, raised his head and asked Grace: "Madam, can I take these back as a souvenir?"
Grace nodded: "Of course."
Seeing Xi Wei carefully put away the safe, Mrs. Grace couldn't bear it, and said softly: "We, Claire, are not blessed to be your Alpha, Xi Wei, don't be too sad..."
Xi Wei nodded, and carried the box Claire left behind to the palace.
The funeral was held three days later, and since Claire's body could not be found, the military had to arrange for his uniform to be buried in the cemetery as a relic.
There were many people present at the funeral, including important officials from the military department, relatives and friends of the royal family, and of course the eldest prince Xi Wei who came to the scene as Claire's fiancée.
Many people were peeping at Xi Wei's expression. His Alpha died before he got married. This was definitely the heaviest blow to Omega. If it were an ordinary Omega, he would have fainted from crying at home.
However, Xi Wei's expression was calm, as strong as if Claire hadn't left at all.
After the military representative's speech was over, Xi Wei walked up to Claire's tombstone, leaned over, kissed the picture of Claire on the cold tombstone, and said seriously, "Claire, I like you."
