"I was meant to say: I've never underestimated anyone, especially you." Jonny held an ice cream in his hand and explained to Roger as he ate it. "And it turns out that the look in your expectant eyes makes it all taste bad."

"Really? Just this one? Roger had a look of disappointment on his face, but he was also licking an ice cream in his hand. It would be more rewarding to dare to denigrate the sacred things in my heart. He pouted. I mean, at least that's kind of and will make me determined to get you out of the Newton Burger Union. ”

"But I thought I had never been one of them." Jonny remembered what Roger had said about this fantasy alliance.

"Well, the alliance is indeed being formed, but I'm afraid you'll never have a chance again." Roger rolled down a mouthful of ice cream with the tip of his tongue and said triumphantly.

"And I have to say, JFK, it's a bit surprising that you look serious, I mean, although you always have a stiff face, it's rare to see something as solemn as you just did." His hand holding the waffle spun in a circle in midair, and the ice cream ball swayed and almost flew out of the cone.

"I almost thought you were going to confess to me, honestly." Roger grinned.

"Well, thinking that might prove I'm not the first." Jonny was unmoved, so he didn't fall for him.

"Come on, JFK, as if you don't know that kind of crowd detection radar." Seeing that Jonny didn't fall for it, Roger was obviously not satisfied.

"What radar?" Jonny really didn't know.

"A radar that can detect straight men, and for someone like me who is easily misunderstood, that thing will desperately issue a red alert so that its owner can avoid it." Roger explained.

"Something magical...... "Jonny understood." So where to buy that kind of stuff? Is it a micro-customer mall? He said with a straight face.

"Good back, JFK, nice joke......" Roger couldn't help laughing, but he noticed that Jonny was still wrenching his face, and his smile began to stiffen. You...... Are you serious? He hesitated.

"Seriously what?" Jonny looked puzzled. "I just want to know where I can buy this radar."

As Roger's face turned sharply, Jonny finally began to hold back his laughter in the next moment when the atmosphere was very different.

"Like you said, I don't want to be bored confessing to a straight man." He laughed as he spoke, the shadow of the past, the confusion of rebirth, and the guilt that always hung in his heart to occupy the young man's body, at this moment, it seemed that he was finally no longer entangled.

He patted his misty friend on the back and laughed heartily at him.

……

With the sun in the sky, the blue waters, warm winds, sandy beaches, good food, and laughter, Jonny spent the most comfortable and carefree vacation of his life on this day and for the next two weeks.

For the first few days, Cornell took him and Roger to nearly every nook and cranny of the Four Seasons, from the spectacular flight control area of the bridge to the service factories and staff quarters that dotted the ship's lower floors.

Here, both Jonny and Roger finally got a taste of Cornell's connections and social skills, not only could he joke with the senior management of the captain and mate of the Four Seasons, but also had an amazing memory to call out the names of many crew members along the way, and Cornell seemed to know the purpose of every facility and area of this huge city-like super spaceship, and during the tour with the two, he was like an all-knowing scenic tour guide, commenting and narrating the construction process of the ship and many interesting anecdotes.

He ridiculed many of the dignitaries of the Silver Alliance who had boarded the ship, saying that they were the guardians of the system, the patrons of the rich, and the parasites of democratic society; He mocked the Holy Father, who had come here many times to pray for the voyage of the Four Seasons, and the yellow-shirted bishops of various places, saying that their so-called piety and faith were all masks used to cover up corruption and perversion, and perhaps only they and Yahweh himself could understand the truth.

He mentions the many aliens of the Silver Alliance who have come to travel to the Four Seasons, the Kander are noble and steady, and the Eunice are innocent and curious, and the Ibic are slow but methodical; He mentions the strangeness of the Alien Spirits, the greed of the Ancients, the irritability of the Blue Mountain People, and the obscenity of the Virtuous People.

He also introduced to the two in detail the stops of the Four Seasons trip, because of the time effect of the landscape, in order to match the best viewing effect, the itinerary arranged according to the seasons of each galaxy and planet is different, but among the many choices of cosmic wonders, Vesta, the home planet of the Kanders of the Ferrer Galaxy, is the first choice in terms of geopolitics and viewing value, so it is often used as the final destination of the Four Seasons cruise.

"I just heard that we're probably not going to Vesta this time." One afternoon, two weeks after the Four Seasons had been on the way, Cornell apologized for the latest news he had learned.

"What, can't you go to Vesta? How is this possible? Although his father had been to the Frell system no less than eight times, Roger had never been to the Ferrer system in his life, and he had been looking forward to the perfect pale blue planet like a fairyland on earth for a long time, so as soon as Cornell's bad news came out, he was the first to get anxious.

"Uncle, since it was the final destination of this voyage before the trip, what happened when they canceled the scheduled route?" Jony, who knew something was wrong, hurriedly asked.

"What else could it be? Retribution for bad karma. Cornell sighed. Just yesterday, the Supreme Council of Vesta has announced that in response to the human layout of the invasion of the Bald system, the Kander have officially separated from the camp of the Silver Alliance, and their withdrawal, the Barekas who had no intention of forming an alliance with the human race were the first to second, and the planet Arcuonius is currently expelling human diplomats and all chamber of commerce personnel, and all reciprocal trade agreements have been annulled, I don't see that one day, the other three races of the Rich Galaxy will definitely follow the Barekas. ”

"Is it because of the effects of the Bald War? I think this is a big fuss, the Vulkens treat the babyfaces as coldly as humans, and now that they have been beaten away, why should the Kandes be stronger? Roger asked, puzzled.

"It's in nature." Cornell shook his head in reply. "Peace-loving, hating strife, sincere, kind, and loving, the Kander people have all the goodwill that the Creator God has given life, and for the cruelty of human beings for many years, it is a miracle that they have not withdrawn from the Silver Alliance until now."
