At the end of October in Floating Star City, the sky was clear and clear, like a calm blue sea, deep and peaceful.
All kinds of aircraft flew over the city along the air track, like flocks of white pigeons across the sky.
Double Star Building, Alliance Military and Political Center.
Ling Changfeng crossed his hands in front of his chest, his brows were slightly frowned, and his different pupils looked at the open space in the lower left corner.
It was a sign that he was thinking seriously.
"How about the Havisa Islands?"
Opposite Marshal Ling, Lieutenant Qin Yuan was leaning against the chief's desk in a disfigured manner, holding a cup of black coffee in his left hand, and sliding back and forth on the mobile terminal with the fingertips of his right hand, displaying the holographic image of the island in front of them.
"You can book one of the small islands, such as this Luoge Island, so that you can enjoy the two-person world on the island."
After working overtime and coordinating during this period, Ling Changfeng finally dealt with and arranged a series of work matters for the next half month before November, so that he could calm down and plan his two-week honeymoon vacation.
"The Sky City of Latidusi is also a good choice. The flowers here bloom all year round, the temperature is comfortable, and the scenery is romantic. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions for couples. You can book a penthouse directly in the cloud, and then Feel free to be ashamed... heck, play whatever you want."
Ling Changfeng scanned the options in front of him with critical eyes, finally selected four photos from them, and said calmly: "I'll ask him what he means."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and sent the scenic spot information compiled by Qin Yuan to Xu Xinghe via email.
Qin Yuan looked sideways at his officer.
Although Ling Changfeng looked serious at the moment, as if he was making a major decision, with "Do Not Disturb" written all over his face, Adjutant Qin could still see the inner good mood of his own official through this layer of skin.
So she was a little more presumptuous than usual, and said with a teasing smile: "I heard that honeymoon is a good time to make a man?"
Ling Changfeng raised his eyelids, with an indifferent expression of "what does it have to do with you".
Qin Yuan smiled: "Okay, let's get down to business. It has been more than three months since Xinghe's last estrus period. This time you go on a trip together and get along day and night, which may bring about the arrival of each other's special period earlier. In case... I mean in case, he enters the estrous period again, or you enter the susceptible period again—"
At the end of Qin Yuan's speech, his voice suddenly lowered, and his original joking tone instantly became a bit serious, "We must, we must remember to take timely measures. I have already popularized the usage of inhibitors and blockers. I don’t want to give you physiology classes anymore. Pay more attention to everything, and contact the doctor as soon as there is a sign. The accompanying private doctor has also been arranged. If there is no accident, he will not appear in front of you as a light bulb. But in case an accident happens , you make a call, and he will arrive at the scene within three minutes."
Ling Changfeng nodded: "I see."
"Of course, there is another possibility—" Qin Yuan said, and resumed his cynical and teasing tone, and said slowly: "If the 'accident' happened, you were living together in a private place, such as lying in bed. The KING SIZE bed at the Island Hotel... Then congratulations, you can also choose to give up resistance and follow your instincts. In this case, you don’t need any inhibitors or barrier patches, and you don’t need to make phone calls, just let nature take its course .”
When Ling Changfeng heard this, his fingertips that were tapping on the table suddenly stopped.
Then he lifted his chin towards the door and said to Qin Yuan, "You can go out now."
Qin Yuan accepted it as soon as he saw it, and saluted politely: "I am taking my leave."
After that, he showed a big smile: "I wish you a happy holiday, my dear sir."
After Qin Yuan left, the huge office suddenly became quiet.
Ling Changfeng got up from his seat, and through the one-way floor-to-ceiling windows on the eighty-eighth floor of the building, he overlooked the daytime scene of the busy city of stars.
This was the scenery he was accustomed to, but it had already faded in the day after day of looking at it from a distance.
Looking at it now, I suddenly feel that everything in front of me has become colorful.
Ling Changfeng suddenly realized that he hadn't looked forward to a vacation like this for a long time.
He stood with his hands behind his back in front of the French window, and after a while, he heard a hasty knock on the door.
Qin Yuan actually came back again.
And his face was a little serious.
Due to the tacit understanding cultivated over the years, Ling Changfeng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He turned and asked, "What happened?"
When Ling Changfeng finished the final handover work and returned to the Marshal's Mansion, the sun had not yet set.
Xu Xinghe was wearing a loose and comfortable silk gray-blue pajamas, hugging the cat, lying on the big bed in the bedroom with his feet up, resting his chin with one hand, and flipping through Ling Changfeng's hair with the other hand Introduction of tourist attractions.
His brows were slightly furrowed, as if a little troubled.
But he was still humming a little tune, apparently in a good mood.
Outside the window, the colorful clouds began to smudge from the skyline a little bit, and the golden orange sunlight fell on the young man's delicate face, casting a soft light on his whole body.
When Ling Changfeng walked in, the different pupil could not help but flicker slightly.
"You're back." Xu Xinghe glanced up at him, turned over and sat up on the bed, stretched out his hand to greet Ling Changfeng, "I was thinking, two weeks vacation is long enough, can we go to two places?"
During these days when Marshal Ling worked overtime, team leader Xu had already done his own ideological work, and planned to enjoy the two-week vacation.
Just like what Qin Yuan said, even if he just took two weeks of paid leave for nothing, wouldn't it be good? Why think so much about what you don't have, and ask for trouble.
Ling Changfeng sighed slightly in his heart, walked forward, did not speak directly, but first followed his words and asked: "Where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to the seaside, and I also want to go to the heart of the machine on Arnuo Star." Xu Xinghe said, reaching out and clicking on the two pictures, "For the seaside, I am struggling whether to choose Xiaweisha Island or Asia The Underwater World of Atlantis... How about Shavisa Island first this time? Atlantis is too far away, we can wait for the next time."
Ling Changfeng's eyes were rarely gentle: "Well, wait until next time."
Xu Xinghe smiled and said: "Then it's settled, we will go to Xiaweisha Island in the first week, and go to the heart of the machine on Arnuo Star in the second week. Oh, by the way, I also want to go to Arnuo Star The Mechanical Museum... But it is located in the city center and there is a lot of traffic, will it be inconvenient for you to go?"
Ling Changfeng opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Facing the sudden silence, Xu Xinghe seemed to have noticed something, and turned to look at him: "What's the matter? It's finally been over... rested, aren't you happy?"
Ling Changfeng shook his head, and asked back, "Do you still have any impression of your family?"
Xu Xinghe's smile froze on his face: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
The voice was very soft, and slightly trembling when listened carefully.
He asked tentatively, cautiously, "What happened?"
Ling Changfeng was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "During your kidnapping, the people from the Security Bureau almost searched all the information on you and the people around you... and accidentally found some other information."
After a brief hesitation, Marshal Ling still decided to blur the timeline, to prevent Xu Xinghe from knowing that he was investigating the matter before the truth behind that scar came to light.
Xu Xinghe felt his teeth chatter a little.
There is a vague guess in my heart, but my brain refuses to think more about it.
He shook his head and asked in a daze, "What information?"
Ling Changfeng raised his eyes and looked at Xu Xinghe calmly, but what he said was like a thunderclap: "About your biological mother."
Xu Xinghe felt his heart stop beating suddenly.
Immediately fell into a long silence.
In fact, since Ling Changfeng asked that sentence, he has been mentally prepared for this.
However, when Ling Changfeng really said this, the feeling was different from what he had imagined.
No surprises, no upsets.
Just a little helpless, a little dazed.
This is obviously a scene he had imagined countless times when he was young, but too much time has passed, enough to wash away all emotions.
The halo of the setting sun outside the window was infinitely soft, and Ling Changfeng looked at Xu Xinghe with soft eyes.
He didn't speak any more, just sat quietly beside Xu Xinghe, giving the young man a little time to adapt.
Xu Xinghe spoke again, with a muffled voice: "You know, I grew up in an orphanage, right? Even my biological parents are still alive."
Ling Changfeng nodded, and his voice was much gentler than usual: "Well, I know."
Xu Xinghe leaned against the head of the bed, shrank his body a little bit, hugged his knees and said, "Capital Star is so big, I thought I would never see them again in this life..."
After Xu Xinghe finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and asked again: "She... how is she doing now, is she okay?"
Ling Changfeng sighed slightly: "If she was in a good condition, I wouldn't tell you about it at this time, and maybe I wouldn't even tell you about it."
This is the truth, if Xu Xinghe's biological mother is living her life peacefully somewhere in the interstellar world, then not disturbing each other is the best choice.
However, the matter has come to this point, and he can no longer turn a blind eye to it: "Just three hours ago, the people below reported that her condition suddenly deteriorated further."
Xu Xinghe's eyes were shocked, and he turned his head to look at Ling Changfeng in a daze: "Illness?"
Ling Changfeng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "The bowel cancer is in the advanced stage. The cancer cells have spread to the whole body..."
Xu Xinghe suddenly felt a little cold.
The sun sets, and the setting sun melts gold.
He subconsciously hugged his body tightly in the afterglow of the setting sun, and his whole body froze in place.
Ling Changfeng suddenly reached out and took Xu Xinghe's hand.
He raised his head and asked Xu Xinghe: "Do you want to see her?"
Xu Xinghe subconsciously shook his head, but immediately nodded again.
"I..." He bit his lower lip lightly, suddenly a little speechless.
In his young memory, there was almost no concept of "mother".
The rumors that slandered him when he was young let him know that his biological parents had given up his custody.
So he had naively and stubbornly thought that if he had a child in the future, he would not let him fall to that kind of situation, and he would never give up his custody right no matter what.
For his parents, he probably thought, read, complained, expected, and longed for them.
Now twenty years have passed by in a flash, and all the emotions can't stand the passing of time.
He has long since stopped reading, and he doesn't complain anymore.
However, advanced cancer…
If you don't look at her now, you will probably miss the last look.
Xu Xinghe raised his head, trying to give Ling Changfeng an apologetic smile, but he couldn't.
"I'd better go and see her..." Xu Xinghe said softly: "Sorry, the vacation you managed to spare... Has Major General Qin arranged almost all the places? Why don't you go by yourself this time, I'll wait I will accompany you again..."
"What are you talking about?" Ling Changfeng frowned slightly, interrupting his words, his tone seemed a little helpless.
He tightened his palm slightly, and held Xu Xinghe's hand even tighter: "I'll go with you."
"Huh?" Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback, and raised his head to look at him.
"You know, I'm not interested in traveling itself." Ling Changfeng's voice was flat, but his eyes were still gentle, "Two weeks off is nothing to me, I just want to be with you."
Outside the window, the sun sank little by little, and finally disappeared into the horizon.
The red clouds smudge the sky, and the colorful clouds change in thousands.
Xu Xinghe was in a daze under the setting sun.
A heart is erratic, and there is a sense of powerlessness being teased by fate.
At this moment, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell, and instantly felt like he was in a vast ocean.
He closed his eyes, and suddenly saw the calm sea in the afternoon, sparkling with sparkling light.
No matter the time, this smell always makes him feel an unconditional peace of mind.
He opened his eyes and smiled at Ling Changfeng: "Thank you."
The sea-like pheromones gently fell on his side, surrounding him, and the warm breath wrapped him up, every bit of it was wordless comfort.
Ling Changfeng sat for a while, then got up and said, "Then I'll ask Qin Yuan to arrange it. It used to take fourteen or five hours at the fastest, so you go and pack it up, and we'll set off tonight."
Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback: "How did it take so long? Where is she now?"
Even if you fly to Antarctica, it doesn't take more than ten hours of travel.
Ling Changfeng replied: "She is not on the capital star, but on Pelpa star."
Xu Xinghe's head drooped again.
Pelpa Star, the most barren planet in the Gamma Galaxy...
He asked in a muffled voice, "Why did she go there?"
"I don't know about this either, you can ask her when you get there." Ling Changfeng replied.
Xu Xinghe gave a soft "hmm": "Then let me change my clothes first."
Ling Changfeng nodded, as if he wanted to say something more, but he didn't say anything in the end.
He thought to himself, take your time, the rest of the matter, it will not be too late to talk about it when you get to the place.
Before turning around, he couldn't help stretching out his hand and rubbing Xu Xinghe's fluffy head.
"Don't worry." The Union Marshal, who has always spoken his words, said to his little consort. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
