Chapter 40
The melodious music sounded, it was a classical orchestra playing dance music, and in keeping with today's retro theme, Hobert did not use synthesize, but invited a special orchestra.

When you close your eyes, you can hear the astringency of the horsetail bow rubbing against the metal strings, which is a flawed feeling that synthesized music does not have, but it appropriately expresses the beauty of nature, and even a person like Wu Seung-hyuk who does not understand music finds it extremely beautiful.
Couples of dance partners swirled onto the dance floor, Hannibal and Lilitz, **wa and Chen Zhen, and Miss Lancer, who rejected him, also danced hand in hand with Marlowe...... Wu Chenghe looked at the handsome men and beautiful women in the audience, and suddenly felt uninterested, and he didn't know why he wanted to participate in this kind of upper-class gathering.
Well, he's Hannibal's son, and it's not good that he's not left out of the invitation, or he should have quietly stopped coming, so as not to embarrass Liliz and the Lancers, and no one would find out anyway. Wu Chenghe realized that he was quite redundant, sighed secretly, took a glass of weak wine and walked out of the hall from the side door.
It was already completely dark outside, and the energy center hung like a dull disc in artificial clouds. He descended the steps, skirted the fountain, and entered a sparse grove surrounded by manicured French plane trees with verdant leaves, and the breeze blew and sheared the light into pieces and scattered it on the ground.
The clothes are fragrant and the sideburns are intertwined, and the life of the upper class is dazzling, but it does not belong to him, and like his body, it is all borrowed. Wu Seung-hyuk sat on a wooden bench, sipped a light wine, and began to think about the future.
The question of whether to stay in Gabriel or to go to Dunkel's capital has been bothering him for some time. Hannibal was right when he said that the First Army was in the sphere of his power, and it would be safer and smoother to stay here, but there are two sides to everything, and security often means more restraint. In fact, after the Grasshopper space station incident, he felt that the surveillance around him had been strengthened, and Hannibal had sent special paranormal people to protect his safety, he didn't know where those people were, but he could feel it.
In fact, since coming to Gabriel Military Port, Wu Chenghe felt that Hannibal was too nervous about him, which can be explained as "fatherly love", but sometimes it is more like a desire to control everything, which can be seen from his previous attitude towards Jin Xuan, as well as the choice of school just now.
Maybe this is a common problem of successful men, Wu Seung-hyuk thought, but this kind of control at all times did not make him feel safe, but instead produced a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety, and he didn't know where this feeling came from, or if it was just the guide's intuition.
But the guide's instincts have always been extremely reliable.
So what about getting out of here and going to the capital of Dunkel? What would it be like there? Wu Chenghe rubbed his eyebrows, he still knew very little about this world, and he didn't know anything about the capital at all, so he didn't know if the road would set him free or put him in danger.
After experiencing death, he felt as if he had become timid, always suffering from gains and losses, and afraid of facing new circumstances. Wu Chenghe sighed and looked up at the sky, but Gabriel's sky could not even see the stars, only artificial clouds, and lifeless energy centers.
It is a city where you can't even look up at the stars, you can only see the other end of the circle, you can't see the vastness of the universe, like Hannibal's wings, stay below, ignorant and safe.
The planet Dunkel may be full of countless unknown dangers, but it is more likely to provide him with countless unknown futures, which is a completely open environment, and he will have countless opportunities to know the real world world without the halo of "commander's adopted son". Moreover, the Aston University Medical School is the best medical university in the whole federation, with the best teachers, the most sophisticated instruments, and the most outstanding students.
Wu Chenghe's heart suddenly brightened, after going through so many things, he seemed to be a little lost, and the ideals he had always adhered to in his past and present lives became blurred. Putting everything aside, curing the sick and saving people is his goal in life, and no matter how the surrounding environment changes, he should move towards this highest ideal.
He should go to Aston University.
The consciousness cloud suddenly fluctuated slightly, it was the synaesthesia generated by the temporary marker, Wu Chenghe turned around, and saw a familiar tall figure walking slowly, it was Jin Xuan.
"Why did you get here alone?" Jin Xuan put his hands in his trouser pockets, bent over the back of the bench and asked him, "I've been looking for you for a long time." β
His Barbary lion let out a low whine and circled around the front to rub Wu Seunghyuk's calf. Wu Seung-hyuk used synaesthesia to ask for the opinion of Xiao Tsundere, took it off its ear, put it on the lion's nose, and touched its mane. Barbary the Lion happily flicked him a few times with his tail to thank him, and ran away with his little friend on his back.
"Didn't you dance?" After sending away the cute pet, Wu Chenghe asked Jin Xuan, "You are half a master today, will Mr. Hobert be unhappy if you leave like this?" β
"He won't be upset about what I do, he's used to it." Jin Xuan sat beside him, leaned over to his cheek and sniffed, "Have you drunk?" β
"Well, I grabbed a drink."
"Do you want to drink to kill your sorrows? Because I was rejected by the lady? β
"Hah...... Even if it is. Wu Seung-hyuk laughed self-deprecatingly, not wanting to explain more.
"Don't be stupid." Jin Xuan took the wine glass, drank the remaining wine, and took his hand and dragged him, "Come on, I invite you to dance, the first dance is not over yet." β
"Go away."
"Come on." Jin Xuan stood in front of him, bowed to him gentlemanly, and made a "please" gesture, "Do you want me to kneel down and beg you?" β
"You can try it."
"Dance with me." Jin Xuan looked into his eyes, "I'm going to go back to Dunker Capital with Hobart in a few days, so you should practice it for me in advance?" β
After being haunted by him for a few months, he suddenly wanted to be freed, but there was a heavy sense of loss, Wu Chenghe looked at him, smelled the rich fragrance of Damascus roses in the flower garden at the end of his nose, and he didn't know whether it was an impulse or a forced manipulation by the mark, and his heart was in a trance, and he couldn't help but stand up and put his right hand into his hand.
The heat of the day has faded, the breeze brings coolness, and the fountain emits the sound of crushing water, adding a long-lasting and ethereal charm to the music heard in the distance. Jin Xuan held his hand with one hand and wrapped the other around his waist, leading him to dance in the woods. Jin Xuan's dance steps are smooth, the lines from shoulder to neck are as perfect as a dancer, Wu Chenghe followed him to rotate and slide, and his originally low mood gradually became cheerful, looking at his impeccable face under his normal painting style, and even ignoring the miserable beggar uniform on his body, he had an illusion of "this guy is so handsome".
"What were you thinking?" Jin Xuan suddenly asked, "I feel your consciousness cloud fluctuations, anxiety, entanglement, and fear...... Thinking about the JAE? How to escape your dad's clutches? β
Synaesthesia made the small emotions of both sides of the mark hidden, Wu Chenghe sighed, and said, "Yes, I talked to my father about school just now." β
"He's against you going to Aston Medical School?"
"Yes, he wants me to stay in the First Army, this is the range of his power, and the capital may be in danger."
Jin Xuan sneered and said, "The two deadly attacks you have suffered so far are within the range of his power. And the capital's crime rate has been the lowest in the federation for eight years in a row, where do you think it's safer? β
"My identity is sensitive." "He said that he was not very popular in the Federation, and I might be implicated." β
Jin Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Wu Chenghe, are you afraid of danger?" β
"Yes, no one wants to go through that kind of thing like the grasshopper space station a second time." Wu Seung-hyuk replied, and at the same time remembered the terrorist explosion that killed him in his previous life, and it was not pleasant.
"I'm scared too." Jin Xuan said, "Do you know the truth, I had many kidnappings when I was a child, when my brother was not the president, he served in the Expeditionary Army, and later he was transferred back to the NTU. He is a very powerful person, he can fight, and he can play power, his political enemies, as well as those suspects and terrorists who are investigated by him, are afraid of him and dare not fight him hard, so they all like to shoot me. β
Wu Chenghe once entered his mind and saw some memories, and there were indeed many such fragments, which he thought was strange at the time.
"I remember when he was running for Congress, the opposition hired mercenaries to kidnap me, I was only eight years old at the time, I was sleeping in my bedroom, and when I heard someone coming, I climbed out of the window." Jin Xuan squinted his eyes and told him a story, "My family lives on the one hundred and seventy-third floor, do you know what it's like to stand at a height of six hundred meters?" I was almost blown away by the wind. I was scared to death, but I knew that I couldn't live forever under the protection of Jin Zhe in my life, that pervert wanted to chase his dreams, and he wouldn't stop because he wanted to take care of me, and if I wanted to live, I could only run behind him and protect myself. β
Wu Chenghe's heart trembled, thinking that he had to face such a harsh environment at such a young age, it was really pitiful. But then I thought about it, an eight-year-old child can be so strong, and the wonder is really not a day of practice.
"I climbed seven meters horizontally at an altitude of 600 meters, jumped onto the terrace of my neighbor's house, and then climbed up the garden ladder of his house to the top floor and rang the public alarm bell." Jin Xuan continued, "Before the police arrived, I was afraid that they would find out that I had called the police, so I ran down at least twenty floors along the safe passage and hid in the ventilation shaft. Later, the police arrived, and there was a fire with the mercenaries, and in the end, the other party was completely wiped out, and I was unscathed. β
"I was actually very scared, and when Jin Zhe came to pick me up, I couldn't stand up at all, and I couldn't speak. He carried me to the hospital and slept with me for several days, not leaving me alone, and it took me a long time to recover. But since that time I have found that I have grown up, I am no longer afraid of not being able to find my brother, and I have protected myself. β
Jin Xuan paused for a moment, and looked at Wu Chenghe's eyes with bright eyes: "Stay by Hannibal's side, you are his weakness, and you will only encounter more dangers in the future." To live freely, you must learn to protect yourself. β
Wu Chenghe looked at him, looking at his unsettling gaze, and couldn't help but be moved. Jin Xuan is right, Hannibal can protect him for a while, but he can't protect him for a lifetime, and the more he seeks Hannibal's protection, the more it will become his weakness, and the tragedies of the past will be repeated again and again.
Only by leaving here, becoming an independent person, and constantly getting stronger, can he live his life and protect himself.
"Hiss-" Jin Xuan suddenly gasped, "You stepped on me." β
"Oh!" Wu Chenghe realized that he was distracted, stepped on his foot, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't dance women's steps." β
"We'll switch to the next one." At the end of the song, Jin Xuan stopped dancing, took a step back and gave him a gentlemanly salute. Wu Chenghe laughed and had to give him a lady's gift back. The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Have you decided?" Sitting on the bench for a while, Jin Xuan asked, he could feel that Wu Chenghyuk's consciousness cloud was calming down, which meant that his little guide had made a decision.
"It might have been a bit of a struggle to get my dad's approval." Wu Chenghe sighed, "He doesn't approve of me going to Aston University. β
"Maybe you can find another way."
"Oh? How so? β
"Do you know that bill?"
"You said that the Ideological Education Act for the Descendants of the Expeditionary Army?" This matter has been in a uproar recently, and Wu Chenghe naturally understands it, "But I'm just his adopted son, and it doesn't fall under the scope of the bill's care, I heard that they have decided to let Marlowe go." β
"I've heard that General Lancer is against this." Jin Xuan whispered, "The commander's wife is still hesitating, if you propose to voluntarily replace Marlowe, she will definitely be tempted." β
"Liliz you say?" Wu Chenghyuk's mind turned around, and he also understood what he meant, "Some people say that the federal government enacted this bill just to get a group of hostages to be raised in the capital, according to what you say, Liliz may be worried about Marlowe's safety." β
"Because of the matter of the Free Revolutionary Army, Lancer will be severely punished, and his relationship with the Federation is becoming increasingly strained, and Liliz is her daughter, and of course will be affected by him." Jin Xuan said, "You also saw it in the hall just now, their family has a lot of opinions about you, if it weren't for the commander's insistence, you would definitely be the first person to be sent to the Federation." β
"But this family is the commander-in-chief, and Liliz has to listen to him." Wu Chenghe has seen very clearly in the past six months, although Liliz is strong, she has a deep affection for Hannibal and will never disobey her husband's opinion.
"That's because it didn't touch her bottom line." Jin Xuan's eyes were deep, and his voice was low, "Son, is the bottom line of all mothers. β
Wu Chenghe was silent, if he could get this place justifiably, it would naturally be the best, the bill stipulates that the federal government will bear all tuition fees during his studies, and subsidies will be issued, so that he doesn't have to worry about money. And the score line of the joint entrance examination will also be lowered, which is very beneficial to him.
"I'll look for an opportunity to get to Liliz's mouth." "Maybe she'll help me convince my dad." β
"I can help you. If you make up your mind, I can guarantee that the Commander-in-Chief will willingly send you away. β
"Really?" Wu Chenghe looked at him in disbelief, I am afraid that no one in this world can be the master of Hannibal.
"Trust me." The corners of Jin Xuan's mouth hooked slightly, Dan Feng's eyes had a sly smile in his eyes, and he said in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Your decision is an order to me, I will carry it out mercilessly, and crush all resistance." β
Wu Chenghe's black line: "We don't know each other, don't be so scary all the time, okay?" I'm not the president, and I can't afford your loyalty. β
"You're so much more important to me than the president." Jin Xuan threw his brother aside without restraint, and after being looked at by Wu Chenghe, he said sincerely, "Okay, I admit that I have selfish intentions, I hope you can come to Aston University, so that I don't have to convince Jin Zhe to let me work at Gabriel Military Port, he is a pervert, and it is much more difficult to deal with him than against the commander." β
"You're coming to work for Gabriel?" Wu Chenghe was shocked.
"Otherwise, how would I chase you? Do you want to give up halfway? Long-distance relationships don't end well, don't you know the way? Jin Xuan said as a matter of course, "It must be that where you go to school, I will teach wherever you go." Anyway, I have enough academic qualifications, and the principal of any school I go to has to kneel to pick me up. β
Regardless of whether the principal kneels or not, Wu Chenghe knelt down for his brain circuit first, the world of Xueba is too cool, and mortals are destined to be blinded!
"No matter what, you've made a decision, and I'll do my best to help you." Jin Xuan put away his joking look and said solemnly, "Don't be in a hurry to find the commander's wife, review your homework well, and when to do something, I will inform you in advance." Before I return to the capital of Dunker, I will settle this matter once and for all. β
For so long, Wu Chenghe still has a good understanding of his ability to do things, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your call." β
Jin Xuan bared his teeth and smiled, just as the band played the music again, and said, "It's time for you to invite me to dance, didn't you say that women can't get used to dancing?" Change your male step this time, quick, kneel down and beg me to dance with you! β
Wu Chenghe had a black line, there was no way, he stood up and saluted him, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand made a "please" gesture: "MayI?" β
The melodious music of the blues echoed through the woods, the night was peaceful, and the air was filled with the scent of roses. Jin Xuan stood up, took his hands around his neck, put his hands around his waist, and said, "Well, this song is suitable for dancing veneers." β
Wu Chenghe's whole person was tied to his chest by him, and he struggled twice, thinking it was too ugly, so he gave up and danced obediently to his rhythm. This dance is so close that the two people are almost body to body. Through the thin dress, Wu Chenghe could feel the faint heat emanating from his body, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he saw his well-defined face, sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the corners of his eyes were coldly raised, and his gaze was as gentle as water.
Fine, sometimes a deadly beauty, Wu Chenghe has never found himself so lustful.
I don't know if it was the light wine that played a role, or because of the confusion caused by the mark, when Jin Xuan lowered his head and kissed him, he didn't refuse at all, raised his chin to respond to him, touched his lips lightly, and his tongue stretched out to entangle with him.
βdon'tfetwho'stakingyouhomeοΌAndinwhosearmsοΌyonnabeβ¦β¦ Savethelastdane......" The melodious male voice sings the love story, and the two people in the woods are immersed in the beautiful blues, the dance steps under their feet are already chaotic, but the fire in their hearts is quietly growing.
Jin Xuan stopped at it, after all, this is a public place, and he can't cause trouble to Wu Chenghe. Parting his lips, he looked at Wu Seunghyuk's face with fascination, looked into his eyes, held him tightly in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Come, enter my brain." β
Wu Chenghe was a little confused, he hadn't woken up from the kiss just now, he couldn't explain his behavior of kissing back just now, and he didn't know if he was crazy and stupid, whether he was teased by the label's submission sexuality, or if he really started to like this fine killer Matt in the uniform of the beggar gang.
"Come, invade my consciousness cloud with your mind tentacles." Jin Xuan lowered his head and licked his lips, causing the swollen lip flap to show a crystal water color, luring him into his own thoughts. Wu Chenghe was bewitched by his order, and stretched out his thinking tentacles in a daze, invading his consciousness cloud, and spying on his thoughts under his guidance.
"Only then can you know how much I love you." Jin Xuan was unskillfully invaded by him, his brain emitted a dull pain, he raised his head, and his voice trembled slightly, "This feeling can't be expressed in words, only then can you see clearly." The statute of limitations is about to expire, next time, next time I hope you can fall in love with me and willingly let me mark you, mark for life. β
Wu Chenghe closed his eyes, his thinking tentacles slid through his deep cloud of consciousness, feeling the warm, entangled love with life, and he couldn't stop the whole person from trembling.
I'll give it a try...... He thought silently. Through synaesthesia, Jin Xuan read his thoughts, and immediately kissed him again, his arms almost embedded him in his body: I am willing to wait for you, and wait until the day you fall in love with me.
It was already midnight when the cocktail party ended, and Wu Chenghe was immersed in excitement and fear all night, and returned to the banquet hall with Jin Xuan, so he hid in the corner under the long window alone, and drank several glasses of light wine unconsciously.
When Hannibal took him back to his apartment, he was already a little drunk, and as he was going up the stairs, he tripped and couldn't get up.
"Who made you drink so much? You're only seventeen, you're ......" Hannibal frowned and carried him into the bedroom, untying his tie as he counted him down, and before he could finish a sentence, he found him asleep and snoring slightly.
"I'll have to keep him away from alcohol in the future." Hannibal shook his head helplessly. The black chestnut eagle let out a whistle and flew to the head of the bed, the golden ring looking at Wu Chenghyuk's neck.
"Well, you found out." Hannibal pulled the collar of his son's shirt a little, and found that the cinnabar mole in the center of the collarbone was gone, his brows immediately relaxed, and his tone became brisk, "The time limit has passed, it seems that he is a little guy with strong self-control, and he actually resisted submission." β
"Mouth-" The black chestnut eagle let out a sharp chirp, with a certain hint of encouragement.
Hannibal's big hand caressed his son's white neck, his thumb gently stroked his Adam's apple, for a long time, licked his lips, and shook his head, "No, it's not time yet, he's too young to stand it." β
The black chestnut eagle angrily raised its feathers, flapped its wings and flew out.
The author has something to say:**Convulsions can't be updated.,It's not that I don't update.,I can't even solve the editing after a few hours of hard work.,The most embarrassing chapter to ask someone to send on behalf of me.γ The situation has been reported to the technical department to see if it can be resolved tomorrow.
Alas, it was painful to waste hours of thought and to break the train of thought.
