Qi Yan never thought that the government would trade Samode's hostages for him, and the telegram came with the following condition - no matter what the conditions are, as long as Qi Yan is returned.
For a moment, everyone looked at Qi Yan with strange eyes again. The trust that was finally built over these days turned into dullness again in the eyes of those strange eyes.
Meeting their gazes, Qi Yan felt desolate in his heart, but did not show any indifference on his face.
There were fewer and fewer children coming to listen to stories in the evening. Every time they listened obediently and then left, no longer teasing or joking with Qi Yan, although they still said hello and goodbye politely. After that, gradually no more children came to listen to the stories.
Qi Yan didn't understand the feeling of emptiness in his heart. It was an emotion he had never experienced before when his father passed away.
Only Dornier still treated Qi Yan as usual. But Dornier has also become busy. He leaves early and comes home late every day, seemingly because of the government's announcement.
"He must be an important figure in the government!" Bi Ke shouted hoarsely: "The government is not willing to use any conditions to exchange for this person. Donnier, do you still believe that he is an ordinary person now?!"
Dornier, who was at the main seat, frowned and said nothing.
Thea glanced at Bi Ke, then at Dornier, rolled her eyes, and said: "Bi Ke, don't yell at Dornier. Dornier was also deceived by that Qi Yan. How can you blame Dornier?"
Bi Ke was stunned for a moment, and quickly said to Donnier: "I'm sorry, Donnier, I was too anxious... but the people in the government are really villains! They actually used those children to make us lower our guard against him!"
Dornier did not relax his brows because of Piccolo's apology, but frowned even tighter.
"He didn't lie to me, don't talk nonsense." Inexplicably, Dornier wanted to believe Qi Yan, even at this moment.
Piccolo choked and looked at Siya, only to see Siya lowered her head, looking like she was not interested in this matter.
"I will investigate this matter further. However, the government's conditions are very favorable to us this time, so let's first think about what requests we would make to the government." Dornier changed the topic.
The subsequent discussion was in full swing. While everyone was discussing, Qi Yan, who was far away in the tree house, was also making his own guesses in his mind.
It's so weird... Why does the government care so much about him? Is it because of his father? Or is there any special reason
His father is dead, and as the son of a government official, he is said to be taken care of permanently, but in fact he is placed in a small corner, where he has no worries about food and clothing and does nothing for the rest of his life...
Is this kind of self really worthy of the government's great conditions in exchange
Somehow, Qi Yan felt that this matter must have something to do with his late father, otherwise the government would not value his life so much.
That night, Dornier returned to the tree house and watched Qi Yan hesitate to speak.
Qi Yan, on the other hand, probably already knew the outcome of their discussion.
"When are we going to exchange hostages?" In the final analysis, it is to use him to exchange for the Samode people captured by the government.
Qi Yan's indifferent look made Dornier feel a little pain in his heart: "...tomorrow."
"Well, I guessed it." The Samode people had suffered a lot from the government. As a good leader, Donil couldn't let them suffer for a few more days if he had the chance.
Qi Yan stood up and suddenly bowed deeply to Dornier.
"Thank you for taking care of me these days, which made me feel another world and joy." Qi Yan's voice was serious and solemn: "If there is a chance, when we meet again in the future, we can be friends and travel around the universe together."
Doniel's heart throbbed even more.
"...I'm sorry." He didn't know why he suddenly apologized, but with these words, both Qi Yan and Dornier understood something.
"There is no need to apologize." Qi Yan straightened up and smiled: "I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe we will never meet again in this life, so this apology is meaningless."
"Life is like this, there will be successes and failures. A numb life may end in a frightened life. I am very happy to come here to 'play'."
"I won't tell the government what's going on here, don't worry."
After saying this, Qi Yan took out a thumb-sized glass bottle from his pocket, which contained a colorless liquid.
"This is the Fountain of Youth. It has been confirmed. However, there are no live experiments, so I don't dare to take the risk of giving it to humans. I will only take these. As long as the remaining crystals do not melt, there will be no mistakes."
Dornier pursed his dry lips: "...Okay. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to give up."
Qi Yan, who was observing the transparent liquid, was startled and slowly turned his head to look over: "What?"
"I said I was a little reluctant to give up." Dornier would not hide his feelings: "Maybe I have already regarded you as a friend."
After finishing speaking, Qi Yan stared into his eyes for a long time, and finally smiled.
"Thank you, you are my friend too, Doniel."
"Hahahaha... What is your name? I only remember Yan, so I'll call you Yan."
"…Okay, whatever you want."
…
Why are some feelings expressed only when separation is necessary
—You know, the time you spend together is not much.

The next day, Dornier took Qi Yan aboard the Samode 2. This is a fighter jet that is much smaller than the Samud. It has a small manned capacity, but its combat and agility are considerable.
Dornier didn't bring many people, only Qi Yan and two men whom Qi Yan had never met. Neither Piccolo nor Thea was on board the plane.
"Open the cabin door at the rear of the plane in a moment, and quickly close the cabin door after the hostage exchange is completed." Dornier said to the two men, who were obviously pilots.
"You will know the route after that. We will proceed according to our plan yesterday."
"yes!"
"Understood!"
Qi Yan sat in the safety chair, quietly waiting for the moment to exchange hostages.
Samode 2 successfully flew into the sky after a few tremors. Qi Yan silently looked at the darkening night sky outside through the small window, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.
These days are coming to an end...
"What's wrong?" Danil suddenly sat over and fastened his seat belt naturally.
"It's nothing." Qi Yan shook his head: "I think I am too."
"What?" Dornier frowned in confusion.
"I said, I seem to be just like you."
Qi Yan amplified his voice, his clean and clear voice filled with clear magnetism.
- "I can't bear it."
