Xuanji suddenly woke up from her sleep, sat up and looked around.
She was still in the bedroom of her apartment in Star City, and everything around her was so familiar. The fox doll "Master Morris" was still lying beside her, and its dim fur looked old in the darkness.
She immediately got out of bed and went outside to the balcony. There was no one in the dim light of the morning.
In the past, he often stood on the balcony in the dark night and looked at the night view of Mangxing City. His tall and handsome back was projected on the beige floating curtains in her room. She would never forget that feeling of loneliness and pride.
Now, he has completely disappeared from her life, and the memory of getting along with him is on the bed in the guest room of Longta Temple. He said "Mianxiang" in surprise, and it ended abruptly.
She fell into a deep sleep, as if she had lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I had returned to my apartment in Mangxing City. Everything was just like a dream. So many things I had experienced seemed to have never happened at all.
She once rummaged through boxes and cabinets like crazy, trying to find any trace that he had lived with her, but there was nothing. His various daily necessities and clothes were all eliminated by the secret service agents as if they were disinfected.
They were even so careful that when Kalki arrived on the first day when she was demonstrating the selfie function of the wristband, she grabbed the photo he took and deleted it permanently.
Why do you treat her like this and let her have such a beautiful dream——
Everything is false, everything is illusory.
Xuanji was sitting alone in the corner of the balcony, hugging her shoulders. It was very cold, and no one took off their clothes and put them on her.
She was alone and cried silently, as if her heart was empty and she had lost the most cherished thing in her heart.
She just had a dream, dreaming that she broke into a Platonic wedding.
The crowd attending the wedding was very lively, facing the blue sea under the setting sun. The environment was so beautiful and elegant, like a gorgeously decorated temple of love, with flowers everywhere, so colorful, so romantic and dreamy.
She pushed aside the crowds crowding in front of her and walked in, and saw the wedding of a Platonic couple. They were wearing traditional wedding clothes, holding hands, and were swearing in front of two blazing sacred fires to become lifelong partners.<
/p>
Xuanji was shocked, she saw clearly that the blond groom was Kalki.
"No! Don't! Kalki! You can't abandon me! I am your bride... You once swore to marry me and love me for the rest of your life!"
She was heartbroken and screamed crazily.
The grand wedding was like a pause button, everyone was quietly uproaring and then fell into silence.
Kalki, who was wearing a wedding robe, turned around. At this time, he was holding the hand of a graceful girl. The bride was wearing a flower crown and a thin veil, and her face could not be seen clearly.
"Xuanji, everything we have is wrong and illusion... Don't let your emotions go and continue to insist on your mistakes. We are like two ships, each with its own direction. No more disturbing or entangled, we are the same to each other.
A kind of relief."
Kalki raised his head, maintaining his usual cold posture, just like his white skin and blond hair have an otherworldly beauty like an iceberg prince.
"Love is just a dream, don't be obsessed, wake up quickly!"
In an instant, her heart broke.
The "sun" of Mangxing City rises slowly in the early morning, and the sunlight is like golden arrows passing over the spiers and outlines of countless strange-shaped buildings.
The transparent pipes wrapped around the floating cars on these rolling buildings are also coated with a bright light. Even in the early morning when the lights dim, the materials of the buildings in Mangxing City begin to shine again, just like the Mangxing City.
Another name - "City of Light", this big city will always shine in the universe, a city where more than 30 billion people live together. How many people are having sweet dreams on this night, and how many people are following
She also felt sad in her dream?
The heartbroken Xuanji was not the only one who was sad in the world. She stood up and faced the brighter and brighter light, the tears on her face shimmering.
She was washing up like a zombie in the morning, trying to find a hairpin for herself. Her hands were rummaging around in a box filled with cheap accessories, and she suddenly touched a hairpin.
She took it in her hand and saw that it was an exquisite Japanese wisteria flower hairpin, given as a souvenir to the guests of the Karuizawa Prince Hotel.
"Your hairpin is about to fall off." He suddenly stood up and used his hands to help her gently insert the wisteria flower hairpin into her hair.
She looked at him wearing a navy blue summer kimono, with short blond hair and clear eyes, so refreshing and handsome. It was like an ancient husband caring about his beloved wife.
She clutched her hairpin tightly and couldn't help crying.
Why did Kalki leave her without saying goodbye, as if cutting off a part of her soul——
"Xuanji!"
Lancer stood under the shade of the green trees, wearing the general staff's second lieutenant uniform, with crimson trim marking the staff on the cuffs. Against the backdrop of this coveted uniform, he looked young and handsome. He was not tall.
, only 178 centimeters, only a few centimeters taller than her tall self. Generally, she looks taller than him when she wears high heels.
But Lancer has a well-proportioned and tall figure. His dark brown hair is cut to the standard length of the military. The hair is slightly curled at the roots and sticks tightly to his head. His brown eyes appear gentle and polite. He has the appearance of a typical Gaia hybrid.
Although he looks like an oriental in his heart, he is not like many social mixed-race people in Star City who spend all their time messing around. His temperament is elegant, probably because he was raised by Chinese grandparents.
"Where have you been? I contacted you, but I couldn't find you at all, which made me worried." Lancer unconsciously showed his extraordinary concern for her.
Xuanji, who was wearing trousers, lowered her head and said nothing, looking unhappy.
I have a little surprise for you." There was a bouquet of beautifully wrapped flowers hidden behind his back, he took it out and gave it to her.
He seemed to suddenly know how to make girls happy, but today Lancer seemed preoccupied and not very enthusiastic about her. In the past, they were like partners who grew up together, talking without any taboos and often laughing and joking.
Lancer took her to the "Sea of Clouds" cafe where he often went for coffee and lunch.
The "Sea of Clouds" cafe is very specially decorated, decorated with ultra-high simulation scale models of various ships and aircraft carriers from various old naval battles on Earth, from the "Yamato" battleship of the old Japanese Navy to the "Kennedy"
The aircraft carriers are all fixed at random with invisible suspended ropes. These ancient warships on the old sea seem to be floating in the air, making the environment interesting and beautiful.
The food is also extremely delicious, offering a variety of coffees, milk teas and various snacks, from Japanese wagashi to French macarons. This is a typical product of the multiculturalism of Mangxing City. Even the boss is the same as Lancer.
He is a mixed race of Chinese and Western. When he saw his acquaintance, Counselor Xu, he came and gave his girlfriend a free eclair decorated with raspberries.
"Your girlfriend is so beautiful!" the boss joked about Lancer.
"Oh." Lancer, who was sitting on a comfortable seat, looked very perfunctory.
Xuanji thought that when they had dinner in the past, when someone mistakenly thought she was his girlfriend, Lancer would look very embarrassed and would grab his curly hair with his right hand, with a sweet smile on his face.
Lancer drank cat poop coffee in silence. "Sea of Clouds" uses an ancient German coffee cup. The elegant cobalt blue cup body is inlaid with gold rim. Everything is in the atmosphere of the old-school army of the Earth Chronicle. This is
A big reason why he likes it here.
Lancer, like many otakus in Star City, has special tastes and hobbies. He is a fan of the Prussian General Staff and belongs to the "Groäer Generalstab", so he also taught himself German. He can speak fluent German.
In addition to his fondness for reading ancient books, he is very different from his peers.
Xuanji looked at him, and she always felt that Lancer today was very different from usual.
Lancer put the half-drunk coffee cup and saucer on the table.
"Do you love him?" He stared at her with his brown eyes and asked directly.
"What are you talking about?" Her voice trembled slightly, and she was hiding something from his childhood sweetheart.
Lancer is a second lieutenant of the 1st Division of the General Staff who collects and analyzes intelligence. Of course he knows everything.
What's more, when they went to the artist community in Block 19 of District N896 that day, someone took a video and posted it on WeChat Moments - when Lancer arrived at the military base in Mangxing City with the returning fleet, it didn't take much effort to see them going crazy in the art district.
Secretly filmed images.
Two young men wearing Plato's knight's robes were surrounded by a group of people. The leader was still so handsome. The way Xuanji looked at him, Lancer had never noticed that she looked at him like this, so affectionately and with admiration, just like
Look at the person you love most.
When he saw this, he cried weakly. Although he didn't show much love and he didn't even hold her hand, as an orphan, he regarded Xuanji as the most important person in his life, so every time
After sending her home, he went back to the military dormitory without even entering her door. She actually lived casually with the regimental commander...
Just think about what the two of them did!
"Do you love Grand Master Kalki?"
Xuanji was stunned. She had always thought that Lancer had a cowardly character and was hesitant. In fact, he was quite decisive and direct when it came to important matters, just like that day when he suddenly plucked up the courage to confess to her.
Love... Kalki... She lowered her head in pain, thinking of their vows of love under the apricot tree, as beautiful as a dream, and also blown away by the wind like a dream——
At the mention of his name, the place where she had been cut by a knife began to bleed again.
"What's the use of love... We have separated, he left me without saying goodbye, he abandoned me..." She opened her eyes wide, tears flowing like a bursting bank.
Lancer was shocked that his question could make Xuanji burst into tears. In his mind, she was a strong woman, much stronger than him.
So, he was at a loss for a moment, "Oh my! I didn't blame you! That's not what I meant!" He shouted in panic like a big boy.
The crying of girls and the yelling of boys immediately trigger the breakup comforting intelligent robot in the cafe.
The breakup robot of "Sea of Clouds" looks like a cartoon terrier, wearing a uniform and wearing an Iron Cross. With its soft fur and sincere eyes, it looks very cute. I gave Xuanji tissues and tissues.
Various small gifts are standard in many Mangxing City cafes, and each has its own cuteness, which can be regarded as a selling point of the dining environment and service.
"Sorry, sorry, baby, baby, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't love you, it's just that I've been a dog licker for too long, and the hurt has made me numb. I'm tired, really too tired, forgive me, you can find a better one
."
The cartoon terrier also uses a gentle male voice to instill all kinds of emotional chicken soup to comfort the woman.
Lancer quickly pressed the control button on the side to stop the robot comfort service.
"This is really a misunderstanding! It's so embarrassing..."
Because she was shaking all over from crying, he sat next to her.
"Don't cry... I won't ask any questions, and I will never mention this name again."
Unable to help himself, he hugged her for the first time.
Seeing her so sad, he already had the answer in his heart, although he didn't want to admit it or construct those details, which would hurt him deeply.
"This is like an injury. It will get better slowly. Time can heal everything." Lancer hugged her tightly, letting her shed tears on her new uniform. "Xuanji, don't forget, I will always be with you."
You are together..."
Lancer's comfort made her even more sad, as if she finally had a valve to vent her sorrow.
Seeing Xuanji crying so hard, Lancer felt even worse. It was the first time he saw her like this. Xuanji's psychology is actually very stable. She is not the kind of very emotional love-brained girl. The sadder she is, the more loving she is.
Kalki.
From the first time he saw the grand leader holding her in the underground reactor room of the "Sands Base", he had the feeling that their world was tens of millions of light years away from his.
They were like a pair of entangled twin stars, emitting dazzling brilliance, and he was like a tiny mortal who could only look up.
But if Kalki really did something to her and abandoned her, he would definitely make him pay the price!
Suddenly, an emergency dispatch message from the General Staff appeared on his wristband. Lancer could only say sorry and take a quick look.
"Tomorrow I will go with the Seventh Fleet to reinforce the Messier base, which is surrounded by the Plato fleet." After reading, Lancer pondered for a moment and said softly.
"What? Are you going to the front line again?" Xuanji gradually recovered from her sadness. For young people in the army, the three words "going to the front line" are the most touching.
"It was a leaky house and it rained all night. Major General Thomas Ball's terrorist attack on the rebels almost paralyzed Manxing City." Lieutenant Xu explained, "In the past, when he was annoyed by the army, he took it out on the army. The Ministry of War and his subordinates
Several important institutions in the country suffered heavy casualties from terrorist attacks. Three buildings of the General Staff Headquarters were blown down, and many other buildings were hit by missiles and burned down. Among them was the 15th one where I used to work...
…”
After Lieutenant Xu paused for a while, he continued in a deep voice.
"That day, Director Chen and many colleagues who had just arrived at work were killed..."
