Not Cold [Interstellar] - Chapter 17

The author has something to say: catching insects

The meal ended in dullness.

Although the food was quite agreeable, Ke Wei appeared absent-minded, and Zhong Yue seemed to be attentive, and he did not intend to arouse the atmosphere.

Ke Wei realized that he was disappointed and took the initiative to bring up the topic: “How many days can the general take a rest this time?”

“Half a day.” Zhong Yue said blankly: “I have to rush back to the army to report early tomorrow morning. I will be unable to get out of my body for the next two to three months.”

In such a hurry, Ke Weiyu felt that when he thought that he would not be able to see Zhong Yue for a long time. He silently ate the food on the plate before he thought about it and said: “General, I am willing to stay on the planet Ai Bino, but communication with the outside world is completely cut off. I only have one request. I hope that General Zhong can fulfill this wish. .”

Zhong Yue probably guessed what Ke Wei was going to say next. After all, it was for this matter that he rushed back to the planet of Ai Bino: “You can say it.”

“I have a good friend who shares my brotherhood with me. His name is Jin Ran. The general has met him before. He has offended the general. I apologize to you again on his behalf. I hope you don’t mind.”

Zhong Yue shook his head, indicating that it was OK.

“Although I’m staying on the planet Aibinuo, in Jin Ran’s eyes, my whereabouts are unknown. I have been out of contact for more than a month. He must be very anxious during this time…”

Zhong Yue interrupted suddenly: “He is so worried about your whereabouts because you were kidnapped before?”

Ke Wei paused, then said: “You all know?”

“I have seen the files. Those who tried to kill you, and those who kidnapped you before, are probably a group of people. They work in the same style and are extremely cautious and meticulous. I sent my men to dig the ground three feet. I can find clues about them.”

Ke Wei didn’t expect Zhong Yue to be silent, and he would have already intervened about himself.

Zhong Yue looked at his expression and comforted: “Don’t worry too much about your safety. You will no longer be threatened after you come to the planet of Ai Binuo. They can’t chase here, even if they do find it, My base camp will not let them do whatever they want.”

What Zhong Yue said is reasonable. The enemy forces hidden in the dark are very powerful. Even in the capital star, which is famous for public order and order, they dare to defy the law and openly kill people. It can be seen that they are indeed very powerful and very powerful. Confident and arrogant.

And Ke Wei still doesn’t know how they achieved the message sent in the name of the Pope. The Pope’s real thoughts and motives, and whether he was actually involved in the booby-trapping of Ke Wei, are still unknown, making the whole thing even more confusing.

However, no matter how much the enemies hiding behind the scenes have, Zhong Yue will take Ke Wei to Abbino. For him, Ke Wei’s life can be guaranteed here.

After all, the relationship between Zhong Yue and Ke Wei is undecided, and he is going back to serve in the army, and it is impossible to follow Ke Wei without leaving any step. Even if Zhong Yue sent someone to protect him, many of Ke Wei’s actions would be restricted and would attract the attention of others.

Zhong Yue asked him: “Do you really remember the kidnapping process?”

Ke Wei shook his head.

He doesn’t think he has forgotten the reason why he was kidnapped. It can be explained by theories such as “traumatic amnesia”. After all, others are good-natured, how could he suddenly lose his memory?

Around that point in time, Ke Wei happened to be born again. He believed that it was the memory of his previous life, which directly covered the memory of this life, and that was the reason why he did not remember this experience. And when the memory alternated, it was unlucky that some events happened that were derailed from his fate in his previous life.

However, Ke Wei replied in a satisfactory manner: “Unfortunately, the doctors and the police have thought of many ways and tried many treatment options, but I still can’t remember this experience. But on this issue, Jin Ran holds the opposite opinion. He doesn’t want me to think of this experience that may have “traumatic” me, and it made my mood be upset.”

After going around, the topic returned to Jin Ran.

As expected, Ke Wei said: “I and Jin Ran are friends who grew up together since childhood. I really can’t bear to make him too anxious for me, so I kindly ask the army to let me contact him once and allow me to chat with him. Chat. I promise not to disclose any information about Ai Bino and the general.”

Finally reached this point, Zhong Yue sighed silently.

He opened the personal terminal and silently copied a piece of information to Ke Wei’s newly acquired personal terminal.

Ke Wei frowned, and Zhong Yue’s expression made him uneasy. Although he didn’t understand what Zhong Yue’s move meant, he still clicked on the file that he had just accepted on his personal terminal.

Zhong Yue looked at Ke Wei in front of him, stiffening his body bit by bit. Ke Wei’s eyes were wide open, his eyes were scary, but there was no tear.

After a long period of traces, Ke Wei murmured, “How can this be…is it true?”

Zhong Yue pursed his lips. He looked at the appearance of Ke Wei. He couldn’t bear it. However, when the words reached his lips, he could only say the well-behaved and no weight: “Sorry, sorry.”

Jin Ran’s death report was clearly laid out in front of Ke Wei. He felt that he had read it, but he couldn’t understand a word.

He wanted to convince himself that this was a fake, and Zhong Yue made a joke with him just to make him stay in Ebino. However, he knows Zhong Yue better than anyone, so he also knows better than anyone else, in such a serious matter, Zhong Yue would never be joking.

How could this be?

Jin Ran… He is only sixteen years old. His life has just begun. How could it be possible that at this time, he was caught off guard and stopped abruptly?

When Ke Wei got up from the chair, he even forgot that his injury hadn’t fully recovered, and the demigod fell off uncoordinatedly, and his eyes were dark for a moment, and the world was spinning.

When he was conscious again, Zhong Yue had already placed him on the bed in the bedroom.

This sitting took more than three hours.

Ke Wei’an was quiet, not noisy, sitting on Zhong Yue’s bed, looking dull, like a dummy whose soul was drawn.

Zhong Yue has been by his side all the time, Ke Wei looked extremely calm on the surface, and there was no expression on his face.

This made Zhong Yue feel deeply disturbed.

Zhong Yue knew that Jin Ran was very important to Ke Weiwei, but he never expected that Ke Wei would react this way—he did not respond.

During this month in the military, Zhong Yue had countless times foreseen how Ke Wei would react when he learned of Jin Ran’s bad news. He witnessed the quarrel between himself and Ke Wei in the hotel room before Jin Ran disappeared.

Jin Ran left and died because of a dispute with Ke Wei, and Zhong Yue was the cause of their quarrel.

Ke Wei has always been rational and will not anger others. The more hopeful this clock was, Ke Wei could transfer the anger of Jin Ran’s death after Jin Ran’s departure to his fuse.

What he worries most is that Ke Wei will completely place the blame for Jin Ran’s death on himself.

Zhong Yue had already envisioned several plans for how to soothe Ke’s emotions after he was not informed of the bad news. But the reality is always unprepared. Ke Wei closed his heart tightly, leaving no gaps, as if all the sorrows and pains he had to bear alone.

Three hours later, Ke Wei said his first sentence: “Can I go see him?”

When his hoarse voice sounded empty in the room, Zhong Yue was actually a little pleased, and immediately replied: “The black hole has not disappeared. The entire star field is under martial law. It is too dangerous to approach. Sorry… I can’t take you there now.”

Ke Wei nodded nonchalantly.

Zhong Yue gently hugged Ke Wei from behind: “No matter how difficult things are, there will be a day that will pass. Don’t think too much about it today, and rest early.”

It took a long time for Ke Wei to answer: “There are some things that can’t be passed.”

“…How to say?”

Ke Wei closed his eyes tiredly and did not answer the question.

When the sky was completely dark, Ke Wei looked normal. He even realized that he was so late and it was not appropriate to be in Zhong Yue’s room: “Sorry, I’ve caused you trouble. It’s getting late. I will go back now.”

Zhong Yue watched him get up, and hugged him back: “Where are you going back? You don’t know where you live. Let me rest tonight.”

“I’m sorry.” Ke Wei said with difficulty: “I…want to stay by myself for a while.”

Zhong Yue looked at him and couldn’t help but said: “You will sleep with me tonight.”

After a while, Zhong Yue realized that there was ambiguity in what he said, and quickly added: “It’s just to cover the quilt and sleep purely.”

Ke Wei did not refuse any more.

But he lost his mind uncontrollably, and it took longer than usual to wash, and Zhong Yue, who was waiting outside for a long time, felt uneasy. When he was about to break the door and check in, he slowly came out.

Go to bed, turn off the lights, cover the quilt.

Zhong Yue just abides by the rules as he himself promised.

They slept in the same bed, without any thoughts, and even accidental physical contact was just a matter of point.

There is no air pollution on the planet Ai Bino, and the night sky is very clear. There is no moon in the night sky here, but there are sea-like dense stars scintillating.

The room was silent, and Ke Wei’s breathing sounded from Zhong Yue’s ear, but he was pretty sure that Ke Wei was not asleep.

After a long time, Ke Wei changed his posture. He turned his stiff body and faced Zhong Yue.

He whispered: “Zhong Yue?”

Zhong Yue breathed evenly without responding, as if he was already asleep.

Ke Wei looked at him for a while, gently raised his hand, and touched Zhong Yue’s profile.

He released it as soon as he touched it, and withdrew his hand cautiously.

Zhong Yue didn’t move, he closed his eyes and slumbered, but he tried to feel Ke Wei’s every move.

After a long time, he heard a barely audible sigh: “Don’t leave me.”

Zhong Yue didn’t open his eyes.

At that moment, he almost felt that he finally came into contact with the sincerity of being hidden by Ke Wei.

In this life of Ke Wei, there are many subtleties and violations that are unspeakable. Although his behavior was not too outrageous, Zhong Yue’s instinct was to tell him that there must be something wrong with it.

On this evening, Zhong Yue finally became suspicious of Ke Wei.

Zhong Yue, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes, but his sleepiness was gone, and Ke Wei, who was in the dark, also opened his eyes and looked at his lover lying beside him.

The stars flickered outside the house, and both of them were sleepless all night.
