75.Epilogue (4)
In the spacious and bright office, Meyer sat in the main seat, in front of the newly appointed diplomat, who was reporting on the progress of the latest trade cooperation project with Tylenol, and Randy sat on Meyer's right, a 19-year-old young man who was handsome and upright, and he could already see the appearance of an emperor.
After the lengthy report, the official said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”
His posture was very respectful, and he lowered his eyes slightly, so he didn't see that although Meyer maintained the appearance of sitting upright, he was already wandering in the world.
Randy coughed lightly to remind Meyer, but it still didn't work, so Randy had to call softly, "Father." ”
Meyer seemed to wake up from a dream, muttered for a long time, and said, "Let's discuss it with Randy." ”
After saying that, he got up and strode out.
However, the people around him have become accustomed to it, Meyer often gets up and leaves without saying a word, and it is rare to be able to listen to the report today.
And everyone knew that the only place he would go at this time was to see that person.
Meyer walked through the vast garden and into the palace where Wu Sing used to live. When I came to the bedroom door, I pushed open the solid wood door.
The curtains in the room are only pulled open, the golden sunlight is half-spread on the floor, and the dust flying in the light and shadow can even be clearly seen, and the whole room seems warm and quiet.
Meyer froze at the door for a few seconds before he walked up to the big bed, gently lifted the delicate white curtain, and saw that the person sunk deep in the soft mattress was Wu Xin, whose eyes were closed.
Meyer's eyes were gentle, but there was a wry smile on his lips, Wu Xin was dying, and he was rescued for a whole week, and he had to be notified of his critical illness no less than five times a day.
He sighed softly, hung the bed net on the bedpost, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared at Wu Xin's quiet sleeping face as usual, hoping that he would open his eyes in the next second, but no matter how long Meyer waited by the bedside, the thick curly eyelashes would not move at all.
It has become Meyer's habit to be by Wu Xin's side silently every day, holding Wu Xin's hand in the palm of his hand, feeling the remaining vitality in his body, it seems that he can only rely on this to confirm that this person is really still by his side.
Meyer Mo squeezed for a moment before noticing that something seemed to be missing from Wu Sin's fingers.
When I looked up, I saw a transparent crystal box on the bedside table, and inside it was a fresh flower ring, which was the flower ring that Mayer had knitted when he proposed to Witch Star.
After so many years, it still maintains its beautiful appearance, a drop of crystal dew is like a diamond hidden among the layers of petals, and it is even more set off, this delicate flower has been completely forgotten by time.
Seeing it, Meyer couldn't help but recall the hazy appearance of tears in Wu Xin's eyes when she wore the flower ring. At that time, he secretly made up his mind that when he returned to Sirius, he would use the colorful crystals to create a crystal ring for Wu Xin that would never wither.
And the flower he made up was only worn for a day before being removed, so Meyer thought that the flower had withered, and Wu Xin had already thrown it away.
But when the asteroid picked up the seriously injured Wu Xin, the flower ring in the crystal box fell out of his clothes.
Meyer didn't bother to think about why this flower could still maintain its fresh and tender appearance, and his heart immediately shook up, and his heart seemed to be twisted into a pool of hideous flesh and blood in an instant.
It turns out that Wu Xin has always carried it with him, which shows Wu Xin's love for it, and it also shows that
How deep Wu Sin's love for him is.
So after that, although Wu Xin did not wake up, Meyer would wear this flower ring for Wu Xin every day, in case Wu Xin woke up one day and saw that it was still there, he would be more happy.
Thinking of this, Meyer opened the crystal box, took out the flower ring inside, gently took Wu Xin's hand, put the flower ring between his slender white fingers, and lowered his head to kiss Wu Xin's pale and cold fingertips,
"My Sleeping Beauty, when will you wake up?"
*
Wu Xin couldn't wake up, and time seemed to slip through his fingers in an instant.
It's been another year in the blink of an eye, and Meyer has become more and more distracted by political affairs, and almost all of it is handed over to Randy.
And his favorite thing to do is to sit on the edge of Wu Xin's bed, talk to him, or sit in the garden with Wu Xin in the sun in his arms, and more often, the two hug each other and enjoy this quiet and surging time.
Life may be monotonous, but Meyer enjoys it, and in his comforting words, it is tantamount to another way of fulfilling his wish to live with Wu Xin.
But then, it seemed that Heaven was going to ruthlessly strip Meyer's last little hope away.
One day, when Meyer was feeding Wu Xin water in the morning, the clear waterline slid down the corner of his lips abnormally, Meyer hurriedly wiped Wu Xin clean with a soft cloth towel, and the next second realized the severity of the matter.
- Wu Xin can't swallow food anymore.
Meyer immediately called the doctor over.
He stayed by the side inch by inch, and the invisible pressure made the doctor sweat a thin layer of sweat on his back, and finally after the examination, he turned to Meyer tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the patient's swallowing muscles have atrophied, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to swallow food on his own, and he will need nutritional injections to maintain his life in the future." ”
The doctor hesitated, "And ...... And ......"
Meyer frowned, "What else?" Say. ”
The doctor was afraid that the emperor would suddenly be angry, so he snorted for a long time and said, "And there is a phenomenon of organ failure, I'm afraid it ......."
The room suddenly fell into a suffocating silence, Meyer's gaze was like substance, and the oppressed doctor could hardly breathe, and it was a long time before he heard Meyer say, "I understand, stand down." ”
The doctor was relieved, packed up, and left with his assistant.
The solid wood door creaked shut, and at that moment, Meyer seemed to hear the sound of the illusion he had created for many years falling apart and collapsing at this moment.
Meyer slowly sat on the edge of the bed, taking Wu Xin's white hands, never for a moment when he realized so clearly that Wu Xin would never open his eyes to look at him again.
Someone once built a cryo to put Wu Xin in the freezer, so that he could slowly study the reason why he was asleep, but Meyer disagreed, the freezer was cold and cramped, and he was reluctant to put Wu Xin alone in that kind of place where he could not see the light of day.
But Wu Xin may be sleeping in another place that he will never touch, and where should he find him?
*
Half an hour later, the chamberlain brought in the nutrition injections, and Meyer's eyes never left Wu Xin's sleeping face, and said, "Invite Randy over." ”
“…… Father. ”
Randy's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Meyer looked back and saw that the person who had just entered the door was Randy.
Meyer smiled and said, "Come here, sit next to me." ”
Randy walked over and sat down, looking at this young man who was now at the level of himself, Meyer was sincerely pleased, reached out and patted Randy's still slightly thin shoulder, put Wu Xin's hand into Randy's palm, and said, "The biggest pride of me and Wu Xin in this life is to have you." ”
Meyer never hesitated to praise Randy, but at this moment, Randy did not have the slightest joy, he lowered his eyelids to hide the sadness and gloom in his eyes, and he was unwilling to show any fragile feelings to make Meyer worry.
Meyer held the hands of the three of them together and said slowly, "But as a father, Wu Xin and I are very sorry for you. ”
Randy subconsciously retorted, "It's not ......"
Meyer smiled and said, "You don't have to refute, it's a fact, we haven't given you a complete home, not even the happy childhood that others should have, nor have we let you enjoy a day." This is a regret that cannot be remedied in a lifetime. ”
Randy said, "I've never blamed you. ”
"I know you've always been a good boy, but we do owe you so much," Meyer said. ”
"I really...... It's true...... I'm sorry for you. ”
Meyer's voice was sour, and the last word even had a trembling broken sound, Randy subconsciously raised his eyes, and was stunned for a moment,
Meyer's eyes were filled with tears.
This was the first time Randy had seen this man's tears, and he was immediately shocked beyond measure, and all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat.
Meyer took a deep breath, as if he was slicing through the flesh in his throat to finish the next sentence, "I really can't hold on anymore...... Randy, I'm really sorry for you, knowing that you have endured so much for us, but in the end, I still have to push you ...... Push to ......"
Randy's nose was sour, and he said in a trembling voice, "Father, what are you going to do?" ”
Meyer's Adam's apple slid up and down violently, and after a while, he said cryptically: "It's nothing, I want to take your father somewhere else." ”
Randy knew very well in his heart that if his father didn't wake up, he was afraid that his father would never come back.
Randy wanted to try his best to keep Meyer, but he couldn't, or yelled at Meyer like he did when he was a child, and he had to make Meyer obey his own wishes, but he knew that the only thing he could do now was to make his father completely reassured, he was no longer a child, and he needed to bear all their expectations, and even the future of the entire empire on his own shoulders.
Randy took a deep breath and used all his strength to swallow all the sourness and retention into his stomach like a knife, and an impeccable smile appeared on Junxiu's face, "Okay, Father, Daddy's health is not good, if you take him to relax, maybe he can get better." ”
Meyer put one hand on the back of Randy's neck and squeezed it hard, against Randy's forehead, and said softly, "Yes, my Randy is right about everything." ”
The world outside the window is still bright, and the sun is still shining as before, but this miserable little family is once again experiencing helpless separation in life.
That night, without alarming anyone, Meyer left Sirius with Wu Sin.
*
The Golden Crow is transformed into a small airship and wanders quietly in the vast universe, it has been set to intelligent mode, automatically avoiding risks from the outside world, and only needs to move forward without purpose.
In the simple and small room, only Meyer's lonely footsteps echoed, he cleaned up the dishes, and then opened the door of the cabinet where the nutrition needles were stored, and instantly a large amount of white fog gushed out, Meyer took one and returned to the room.
Wu Xin was placed in a side lying position by him, and the moment Meyer opened the door, there was really an illusion that Wu Xin was actually just sleeping.
Meyer couldn't help but relax his steps and sit silently on the edge of the bed, the warm yellow light shining on Wu Xin's side face, giving his pale cheeks a normal healthy color.
Meyer gently rubbed Wu Xin's soft black hair and said, "Baby, it's time for an injection." ”
Naturally, he didn't get any response, and Meyer was used to it, holding Wu Xin's forearm, rolling up the wide sleeves above his elbows, and there was already a dark red dot on his thin white arm, which was the eye of the needle that had not healed from the last injection, Meyer gently stroked his calloused fingertips and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon." ”
After finishing speaking, he simply pushed the needle, and after it was over, Meyer wiped Wu Xin's face and body with a hot towel before lifting the quilt and going to bed.
Meyer hugged Wu Xin in the crook of his arm, pulled Wu Xin's hand around his waist, and made a posture where the two of them hugged each other and slept together, Meyer gently kissed Wu Xin's cold lips, "Although I know that you won't answer, I still can't help but want to ask your opinion." Where do you want to go? But don't worry, there will only be the two of us in the future, you can go wherever you want, I will accompany you. ”
"Why don't you go to the place where I took my graduation exam? Now that I think about it, I was so stupid at that time, I had a lot of time to talk to you every day, but I didn't spend more time with you, and I wasted so much good time. ”
"At that time, you would ignore me when you were angry, but soon you would lose your anger and pretend to ask me if I wanted to eat the fruit, and you have always been gentle with me......"
Meyer hugged Wu Xin and whispered in his ear, recalling the bits and pieces of the past when the two were together.
For some reason, those small memories left in the depths of time thought that they had sunk to the bottom of the rushing river,
However, if you think about it a little now, it will fly from all directions like a stream of fireflies, illuminating Meyer's dark and dry heart.
Even the little things he thought had been completely ignored were impressive, as if they had just happened yesterday, and perhaps, when he didn't know it, he had already been deeply rooted.
As the lights dimmed and Meyer's voice faded, the warm, dark room fell into silence, like the safest and most solid castle in the universe.
The days passed silently, and Meyer only thought that if he could say a word to Wu Xin and hug him one more time, it would already be God's favor, because maybe one day, the person in his arms would stop breathing.
I don't know if there will be tomorrow after today, and this hopeless day after day has almost no end in sight. Despite his mental buildup, the fear of losing Wu Xin still loomed over Meyer like a dark cloud.
He even suffered from insomnia because of this, and he couldn't sleep all night, if it weren't for Aplha's strong body supporting him, I'm afraid Meyer wouldn't have been able to survive before Wu Xin.
Whenever his heart is low, his only pleasure is to hold Wu Xin lying on the beauty in the small living room, or admire the distant starlight of the universe outside the window, or look at Wu Xin's quiet sleeping face for a long time in a daze.
Even if Meyer takes care of him, Wu Xin's health is still crumbling at an accelerated pace, no matter how he tries to turn the tide, the final result will always point to the only ending, Meyer suddenly had an epiphany,
The purpose of his coming out was originally to take Wu Xin to travel to every planet, and when Wu Xin stopped breathing, then he put away the golden crow, and the two of them annihilated in this universe together.
So what else is he afraid of?
Perhaps because of the slow metabolism of his body, the wounds on Wu Xin's body healed more and more slowly, and a dense red pinhole had appeared on his arm, which was particularly shocking when placed on his fair skin.
Meyer gently stroked the dense red dots, "Doesn't it hurt?" Then he brushed the hair on Wu Xin's forehead and said softly, "It won't hurt anymore after today." ”
Meyer finally made up his mind to put an end to this hopeless life.
He was about to write a letter to Randy, but he sat in front of the screen, his mind blank, and he didn't know what to say, so he sat there for half an hour, and finally sighed and turned the screen off completely. Think that there is no need to say anything anymore.
Meyer lifted the quilt and got on the bed, hugged Wu Xin's thin body in his arms, paused for a moment, and asked softly: "Baby, you say, if we all die, will we have another life?" ”
Meyer smiled self-deprecatingly. He hugged Wu Xin's waist, and his state of mind at this moment was a calm he had never had in these days.
Without any hesitation, Meyer put away the golden crow with his mind, and at the moment when the intelligent mecha contracted and deformed, the golden crow suddenly shook violently, and the shock was so great that it even lifted Meyer and Wu Xin out, and slammed into the metal wall all at once!
Could it be that it has encountered a storm field? Meyer wondered in his heart. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can die with Wu Xin, it's the same anywhere.
However, immediately after, I saw a dazzling white light suddenly shoot out of the porthole, and even completely covered the golden light when the golden crow was transformed.
Meyer was so pierced by the white light that he couldn't open his eyes, otherwise he would have seen that the universe at this time seemed to have opened a huge eye, and the golden crow was as small as an ant in front of it, and it was swallowed up in an instant.
Meyer only felt that he just wanted to grope his way to stand up, but his feet were empty, and the whole person fell down at the speed of a bullet!
The huge wind whirled into the collar, and Meyer didn't even bother to think about what was going on, the only thought was to hug the person in his arms.
In the absence of windproof goggles, he finally opened a gap in his eyes and looked around, and his heart was even more suspicious, only to see the familiar blue sky and white clouds above, and from afar, there was a huge forest below that could not be seen.
What is this place? Meyer was puzzled.
At this time, if you have full curiosity, a normal person will definitely activate the mecha and then study this adventure carefully. But Meyer already has the heart to live and die with Wu Xin, and his heart is like a dead ash, and he has lost the interest he should have in the surrounding area. So he only held Wu Xin and let himself fall down.
The speed of the fall became faster and faster, Meyer let go of his mind and tightened his arms again, ready for the final end of his life.
But then the sound of popping into the water flashed in my ears for less than half a second, and all the sound of the wind, the rustle of leaves, and the chirping of birds stopped abruptly, and the next second, the mouth and nose were filled with sweet ice water.
Fell into the water?
Meyer hurriedly opened his eyes, and sure enough, there were clear water waves surging in front of him, and the water above him seemed to be shining like a shaking jade disk.
Even more to Meyer's surprise, he and Wu Xin didn't continue to fall, they seemed to be wrapped in a soft and dense piece of amber, colorful fish, fluttering aquatic plants, and even the amplitude of the corners of their clothes surging in the water, all of which were like slowed down special effects shots in a movie, and the picture rolled in front of Meyer's eyes frame by frame.
The scene was so strange and mysterious, but then, Meyer casually lowered his eyes, and instantly crashed into a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.
At that moment, Meyer's whole person was blank, and it took several seconds to react, and Wu Xin opened his eyes! Wu Xin is looking at him!!
After years of hopeless waiting, this moment finally came true, and the sudden surprise even overwhelmed Meyer, and his whole soul trembled slightly!
Afraid that this was a dream before death, Meyer closed his eyes fiercely, only to open them again, and through the water waves, he saw Wu Xin
Still with big eyes open, the beautiful eyes are full of Meyer's reflection, because in the water, the bottom of the eyes seems to be rippling with layers of water waves, and there is a bit of dazed and innocent taste.
Sour, soft, and happy, Meyer's feelings at the moment are simply indescribable.
The swaying light and shadow above shrouded their faces at the moment with a layer of blurred light, and all of them were like sweet dreams.
Wu Xin seemed to be very puzzled by the situation at this time, his thin lips opened slightly, and a mouth actually spit out a string of bubbles!
Wu Xin's eyes widened as if he was frightened, but more bubbles appeared on his lips.
Meyer prevented Wu Xin from continuing to be stupid, and slammed the soft, cold lips.
