Lu Nanxing: ...
Lu Nanxing: "You bastard, come here! If I can't beat you to death today, I'll follow you—"
He had only said half a sentence in an angry voice before he got muffled. Lu Jueming, who had already seen similar scenes a long time ago, was much calmer. He covered his mouth with one hand and pressed the person down. He entered the door and took his brother's wrist. "Don't make a noise, Xiao Shi is feeling uncomfortable."
The rest of the words were silently said under the brother's red eyes, but the murderous intent that burst out at the moment couldn't be eliminated. Lu Nanxing gasped with distress, gritted his teeth because he couldn't speak, but his death stare had mercilessly demolished the rebellious servant a hundred or eighty times.
Gu Song knew what was wrong. He took a light breath and was about to apologize, but his eyes fell on the door, his pupils suddenly froze.
One after one, the brothers rushed in from the door, filling the whole room. Depending on the force, it might be able to beat him from this galaxy directly back to the deserted hometown that had long been a belt of star sand.
...
A murderous look could be seen clearly.
Gu Song suddenly felt that he seemed to be in danger of not being able to keep his body any longer.
On the other hand, Lu Qingshi was getting dizzy, snuggling inside Gu Song's arm and obediently allowing his second brother to feed the medicine. The pale and soft eyebrows made the brothers feel distressed, and they were all silent all the time. But when they scanned Gu Song, their eyes were still sharp enough to pierce people to death.
Lu Nanxing was the first to transform his mental power into a forty-meter-long blade. He smashed all the glass and knocked the back of the knife on Gu Song's head mercilessly.
The strength was not heavy but also not light. It wouldn't hurt people, but it was enough to teach a lesson.
Gu Song stifled a grunt, and his shoulders shook slightly, but his arms were still firm and almost motionless.
Noticing his movement, Lu Qingshi reluctantly opened his eyes, hazy eyes caught a glimpse of the dense snowy blade, and with a tightened heart, he struggled to get up.
Gu Song added some force to his arm and hoisted him tenderly back into his arms. "Youngest Master, I deserve this."
He deserves a good beating.
Countless thoughts clogged inside his chest and gathered into a deep emotion that his eyes could hardly convey. He knew the source of the anger of these brothers, and so he was more willing to suffer. He even hoped that this blade could be knocked harder, so that he had the opportunity to have these countless unspeakable regrets knocked, crushed, and deeply rubbed into every inch of his heart and blood.
His Youngest Master should be happy, this matter was more important than anything else.
The first kiss was interrupted halfway, at most, it could only be regarded as half a kiss, and it took nine and a half kisses for the Youngest Master to not be angry with himself.
Gu Song naturally didn't have the gut to personally test the battle power of the children of the Lu family in front of his twelve brothers, only to pass his apologies through his gaze into the depth of his soft black eyes, but unexpectedly the Youngest Master in his arms seemed to have something more to say.
Worried that he might be lying uncomfortably, Gu Song moved his arm and asked a question with his eyes.
Lu Qingshi raised his head between his arms and counted carefully. The agitated color in his eyes had disappeared early, and only genuine worries remained. "But there are still eleven left…"
Gu Song: "..."
Gu Song: "?!"
After a moment, he realized what the Youngest Master was talking about. Gu Song hurriedly raised his head, and the remaining eleven long blades made of mental power slashed the reinforced concrete glass quartz, sparks and lightning smashing down all the way, one after another smashed in his head with the back of the blade.
Gu Song became dizzy and there was rumbling behind him, enough to make the confinement room below Grade A, which was honestly restrained, completely blast open under the concentrated efforts of the twelve brothers.
The stars were faint, and the moonlight was light. The night wind came in in a blink of an eye, but the coldness of the night was missing, but a strange heat drifted out.
Gu Song's eyes converged slightly, and he suddenly raised his head.
He saw a small spaceship there.
Lu Jueming's expression remained calm, and he fastened the ventilated collar for his youngest brother and shook his hand. "Xiao Shi, can you still hold it?"
Lu Qingshi's always quiet black eyes widened slightly and wanted to speak, but a high source energy compressed crystal was shoved into his hand.
"Jueming, have you really thought about it?"
Acutely catching the second brother's movement, Lu Fanghai took a step forward and hesitantly whispered, "I'll go persuade father again, maybe there can be a turnaround ..."
"You haven't seen a turnaround after three years of persuasion, and your ass doesn't hurt?"
Not giving his brother any face, Lu Jueming decided to interrupt in a light voice, glancing at him, "Today's incident hasn't given you a long memory? The two of them have been completely in tune with the spiritual sea. As long as he lives another day, father will not give up this idea. What if we can't make it in time next time?"
Lu Fanghai gritted his teeth and fell silent, sitting on the edge of the bed, his palms lightly caressing the top of his youngest brother's hair.
He was originally convinced that father had given up on thoughts like that, so he was relieved to let Gu Song be locked up. But he never thought that the dispute with the ninth prince would instead catalyze father's determination. Even to the point of desperation, risking the threat of the entire Lu family being involved, and making such a risky move in a situation of being noticed by the royal family.
So, the best way to protect Lu Qingshi was to let Gu Song leave.
The original plan didn't predict the younger brother traveling with Gu Song, but looking at the current situation, how can one be cruel enough to hold the younger brother back in a home without Gu Song.
But-that is their youngest brother…
"The galaxy he came from has a kind of extraordinary energy that only that galaxy has. Not only can it strengthen their bodies, but the people nearby will also benefit."
Seeing that the eldest brother was still hesitating, Lu Jueming shook his youngest brother's wrist, nodded slightly without a trace, raised his head, and opened his mouth calmly.
"Xiao Shi goes with him. The rate of decline of his body is 30% slower than I predicted. You let Gu Song take him away, go to other galaxies to take a break, walk around and have fun. Maybe when he comes back, he will be healthier and hug you while calling you brother."
Never heard him say that there was such a thing, Lu Fanghai's pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice fell, "Really…?"
Neither of them knew what was going on. They looked at each other and couldn't speak. Lu Jueming had already restrained himself and nodded calmly. "Really."
Such words couldn't bluff others, and it was even impossible for their father to believe it, but it was not difficult to deceive Lu Fanghai.
Even under the premise of comprehensive treatment, Lu Qingshi's physical decline was indeed much slower than he predicted, but Lu Jueming wasn't able to study the reason up to now. Instead of compiling some irrelevant reasons, he might as well put the reason on Gu Song so that the two of them could stay together.
Because of his poor health, his youngest brother had never gone out far away, and he never went on cosmic voyages when he grew up. The scene in the virtual training ground was after all inferior to the splendor and magnificence of the real vast universe.
During these thirteen years, he had tried all the treatment methods and all the methods he could think of.
The reason why his father took the risk and didn't hesitate to use Gu Song as a container was because there was really no more effort he could do except for this method.
Instead of watching his youngest brother weaken day by day in the hospital bed, fighting for the chance of life and death, having to end an innocent life, and watching all the smiles leave from his brother, he would rather return the freedom to the youngest brother's hands ahead of time.
The ways of the world have been exhausted, the fate of God is merciless. The only thing he cares about now is how to make his brother happy every day of his life.
He couldn't believe he was now faced with the choice of sending his brother away with his own hands. All the brothers were heartbroken but reluctant to let go of their brother and were silently waiting for the decision of the eldest brother in front of them.
Lu Fanghai took a deep breath and exhaled fiercely with distress.
The youngest brother being alive and well, hugging him and calling him brother. This is a dream that he didn't dare to let himself have for many years. For this dream, he can do everything. He even dares to do anything.
The sternness of his father, the coercion of the royal family, the reputation of the family, everything became insignificant in the face of it. Lu Fanghai was silent for a long time. He finally took a deep breath, turned around, and crouched in front of his youngest brother. "Qingshi."
His voice was already trembling. Lu Qingshi's eyes were red, and he moved out of Gu Song's arms to hold his brother's hand and was firmly squeezed by Lu Fanghai. "You have to come back and find your brother."
Lu Qingshi nodded obediently, and tears filled his eyes, glistening brightly.
Their youngest brother was well-nestled in Gu Song's arms quietly, warm eyebrows and eyelashes like a painting, so good-looking that only one look was enough to firmly remember him in the heart.
Lu Fanghai's eyes were sour while inhaling and shaking lightly, and he softly added, "Be healthy and active. When you go out, remember to eat regularly, sleep on time, and take medicine. Don't always take a sip of medicine and eat two candies. Just remember. Rinse your mouth, or your teeth will break…"
Without giving him any more chance to nag, Lu Jueming raised his leg to give the big brother who was still babbling a solid kick. He then took off his coat and wrapped his youngest brother before looking back at Gu Song. "Move faster, people are coming soon."
They made a lot of noise, not to mention that they had set up an unusually conspicuous spaceship so it was naturally impossible that no one would notice. After such a long delay, the Lu family's guards had been noisy and surrounded by brooks.
"Stop! Don't run—"
The head of the family had already explained the details, but thinking it was the brave slave who wanted to escape, the captain of the guard snorted and led people to surround him, only to find that the twelve young masters of the Lu family were in front of him, guarding the slave layer by layer, letting him hug the Youngest Master and hurry onto the spaceship.
It was clear that to arrest them, they would have to fight the young masters one by one so the guards did not dare to make a move, lying on the ground shivering. Ashamed they were tied up like a dumpling by a few young masters, they watched the ship start from the standby mode, and then plunged into the boundless darkness of the night.
The propeller at the stern of the ship burned red, and a fleeting light path passed through the silent night sky.
In the chaotic hustle and bustle, Lu Jueming turned around, chasing a few steps towards the fading light path. "Xiao Shi!"
The spaceship undoubtedly could not hear his voice. Lu Fanghai gritted his teeth and pulled him back with red eyes, but the ship that had sunk into the night sky suddenly turned on its taillights, flashing brightly in the dark sky, like a silent response.
The head of the research institute, who had always been cold and indifferent, raised his head and showed his brother a bright smile that he had never seen before. He raised his head and waved his hand vigorously. "Be happy!"[mfn]Anna:I'm crying![/mfn]
The taillights lit up at last before completely disappearing in the darkness of night.
Lu Fanghai took a step forward and raised his hand to hug this brother who went against him nine times out of ten.
Lu Jueming didn't push him away, but lowered his head and pressed hard against his brother's shoulder, his hot and wet tears finally pouring down.
❄
Lu Qingshi was lying by the window, the fog blurring his eyes into chaotic blocks of color.
The spacecraft was out of range of what the monitors could view and was preparing for its first random leap. Upon success, they would pass through the wormhole and be transported to a new location, which may be close to the Orwellian system, or further away than 13 light-years.
It is possible to come back.
The system recorded the data of the transition, and as long as the body recovered, they could come back immediately.
Unlike his brothers, this world's father Lu Feng's character was unusually stubborn, and it was very difficult to change what was agreed upon. To ensure that everything didn't get out of hand, the only way was for him to leave temporarily, get well as soon as possible, and then return home with Gu Song. Otherwise, there was no telling how many times he would encounter similar dangers.
He was already an adult. He has successfully completed so many tasks in this world and can get a positive assessment after passing the assessment period. He has completely overcome the original shadow, and he should be a very mature quasi-formal employee.
I had been looking forward to it for so long and finally grew up. When I grow up, I can't cry all the time.
Lu Qingshi raised his hand to wipe his tears, but they couldn't stop overflowing from his eyes, and fell down the back of his hand, dampening a small piece of his cuff and mildly warming up his wrist, like the warmth of the palm of the second brother, which was not cold at all.
The days of being spoiled were so soft that he couldn't even find the edge. In his heart, it felt like it had been stuffed with sweet and soft cotton candy, tenderly wrapped around the little piece at the tip of his heart. Every day was rainbow-colored, making him almost think he had really turned back into the little kid who knew nothing——
He couldn't remember exactly what his original past was like.
The memory of happiness is too real, completely dispelling the gloomy haze in the memory, leaving only the clearest brightness and warmth, even if it is only a momentary thought, people can't help but smile and shed tears.
Those who can rest assured can say whatever they want, and won't be reprimanded even if they get into trouble. The memory of having someone to feel sorry for you when you are in pain and someone to hold you, and having candy to eat after drinking medicine.
After eating sugar for a long time, he could hardly bear any grievances and discomforts.
The fuzzy color changed in front of his eyes. Lu Deng raised his head, and Gu Song leaned down to hold him and kissed his eyes wet with tears.
Then came coaxing.
Lu Deng worked hard to pick the corners of his lips, trying to make himself laugh, but his tears didn't stop at all, instead, they surged more turbulently.
"Youngest Master, we'll come back, we'll definitely come back."
Overwhelmed by the tears of the Youngest Master, Gu Song quickly took the person back into his arms, gently rubbing the tear-soaked cheeks with the back of his hand, and wiped off the fresh tears with his fingers. "I'm memorizing the way. We'll go home when the Youngest Master is well. How do I use it? Do I need more intimate contact? Or extra energy to get it out⎯⎯"
"Don't use it."
Lu Qingshi held back his tears, shook his head on his shoulders, sniffed, and bargained, "The first kiss doesn't count."
"It doesn't count, of course, it can't be counted."
With twelve painful lumps on his head, Gu Song made up his mind, pulled the person inside his arms, and patted patiently. "I still owe the Youngest Master nine and a half. Do you want to charge interest? Compound interest[mfn]idk enough finance to explain this but it's similar to stacked interest[/mfn] will do too⎯⎯"
He was serious. He had a plan to make the promised kiss accumulate interest for the rest of his life.
Lu Qingshi leaned quietly on his firm chest and shoulders. The tears in his eyes finally stopped, and the corners of his lips were pressed lightly. He extended his arms to hug him. "That's fine."
Once the world is bought, further adjustments and modifications can be made according to the underlying data. The system can import the data of his original body and fuse it with this body, and that will be able to heal all those debilitating and sicknesses that cannot be reversed.
His original body was already an adult so that could only be fused with an adult body, so he just let the system help maintain it with medicine and waited until now.
This plan was undoubtedly impossible to explain. He originally told the system to prepare a set of RNA genetically modified viruses, a virus that belongs to the original galaxy and has a tendency to induce cancer in normal people. But it has unexpected effects in curing radiation damage. He also wrote a long paper about that and deliberately went to find publishing companies in high-order galaxies.
Unexpectedly, before he had time to take out anything, he actually let the second brother misunderstand, and his brother found a similar explanation.
Since there was nothing wrong with it, he just let this misunderstanding continue.
Gu Song was slightly stunned and was about to open his mouth when his heart suddenly moved a little[mfn]Anna:they made the leap so he felt his heart "move", like that weightless feeling just right before you fall[/mfn], and he held him firmly between his arms.
The ship happened to complete the leap. A short period of weightlessness enveloped the passengers in the cabin. The body between his arms became slightly tense, and there was a faint untraceable uncomfortable muffled grunt.
Lu Qingshi lowered his head against his shoulder.
The brief episode of vertigo made his face paler making his thick eyelashes lined like feathers become more and more black and distinct[mfn]Jue:His face was pale and his eyelashes were black in color, making black more stand out[/mfn]. The cold sweat slid down the forehead and dropped onto the back of Gu Song's hand lightly.
Gu Song speculated for a while before throwing off his shirt and wrapping his arms around the man. He lowered his head and lightly pressed his cheeks against the cool tear-stained cheeks. The softness of the touch intimately caressed more places that were never touched due to etiquette.
His Youngest Master buried deeper in his chest, and without even fumbling, had instinctively taken hold of his wrist that supported the weight of the two.
The strength that was applied on the wrist was not a rejection, but more like a silent encouragement.
Gu Song's heartbeat got faster. He skillfully unbuttoned Lu Qingshi's shirt with one hand, slid gently along his back, and paused when he touched another piece of clothing, hesitating with the force of his fingertips.
He puts on and removes clothes for the Youngest Master every day. When Lu Qingshi was seriously ill and fell asleep, he changed clothes from head to toe and wiped his body. In this world, no one knew this body better than him.
Even if he got knocked twelve times on his head, beaten hundreds of times and was kicked by dozens of feet and then, thrown down blindfolded, he was able to confirm, in the first moment of touching his Youngest Master, which part of the body his fingertips touched belonged to.
Obviously, they were already so familiar. But now, the feeling had become completely different.
Lu Qingshi tilted his head in response to his cautious touch, dark moist pupils washed with tears were extraordinarily clear and transparent. As the brief episode of vertigo had faded, his eyes were reflecting the shadow of Gu Song clearly.
Gu Song took a deep breath and carefully touched his waist, his fingertips picked up the delicate belt buckle and tentatively whispered, "Youngest Master ... am I treating you?[mfn]Anna: as in curing an illness! Gu Song, get it together! Having sex is no cure for anything! Dirty-minded boy!Jue: I know you are cheering for him inwardly. (¬‿¬ ) [/mfn]"
