can not live up to

This is the last experimental flight of the Phoenix before its first departure.

To be precise, after 96 hours, it will embark on a brand-new distant interstellar voyage for the first time after its rebirth from Nirvana.

Before that, Tang Di had fantasized about the scene of boarding the starship with the most superior performance in the former empire countless times, but the excitement at this moment still exceeded his imagination every time.

Just like facing a former lover who has never met in this life, Tang Di can be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar with the Phoenix.

He could clearly remember every performance and every parameter of the Phoenix, but the touch from his fingertips was so fresh at this moment.

The predecessor of the Phoenix was the Tianyi, which was accompanied by Qin Xuanyu himself.

After the refurbishment, the Phoenix has added a lot of equipment and improved a lot of performance, but the interior design of the ship still maintains the original pattern of Tianyi.

Even though technology is always developing, all starships still seem to be hard to avoid a drawback, that is, the cabin is crowded.

But Tianyihao is naturally different.As the former exclusive starship of His Majesty the Emperor, the No. 83 Deck, which could originally accommodate 1 people, was only equipped with a huge suite and several single cabins for the accompanying personal guards, as well as various complete supporting living facilities. The living space of the other entourage is all arranged on the 15 decks below it.

But now, on the spacious Phoenix, there are only Qin Xuan and him.

He and Qin Xuan are still very busy recently, so busy that they have no time to catch up on the past after reuniting after a long absence.Fortunately, both of them are not hypocritical people, as long as they can look up and see each other's serious and persistent faces during their busy work, they are already very satisfied.When two people are together, no matter what they do, it is actually good.

After reconfirming that the channel is correct, Tang Di set the autopilot mode and left the bridge.

For this trial voyage, their destination is the planet Yisu 2 in the Xinyue star area.

There is the beginning of his and Qin Xuan's story.

Taking the dedicated high-speed elevator leading to deck 1, Tang Di came to the largest suite on the starship.

He looked around, and there was no sign of Qin Xuan in the living room, conference room, gym, study room, dining room, or bedroom, and the electronic display at the door of the bathroom was showing a red light indicating "locked".

Tang Di stood at the door of the bathroom, some distant memories appeared in his mind.

When I was on the Yisu 2 planet, due to the remoteness and backwardness, and the lack of living materials, it became the dream of many people to have a convenient automatic sonic cleaning machine, so as to save the need to bathe with water in the steamer-like air troubles and the sweltering heat and humidity that lingers on for a long time after the bath.

But Qin Xuan prefers the feeling of soaking the skin when water flows through his body, he said that it can keep him awake enough.

I don't know if it was under the influence of Qin Xuan, at that time Tang Di only maintained his enthusiasm for the automatic sonic cleaner that Qin Xuan gave him for a few days. In the past, he also liked to rely on Qin Xuan to take a bath together. In Tang Di's missing childhood joy, playing in the water was also something that he found particularly interesting.

Tang Di's memory is not over yet, the red light on the electronic display screen has been extinguished, and the bathroom door slowly opens to both sides.

Qin Xuan didn't expect that there was a loyal peeper standing outside the door when he was only taking a shower, so he asked with a smile, "Why, does it look good?"

The glass is really beautiful. After all, the materials used in the Phoenix are all the best, and the bathroom glass is no exception. It has a very good privacy protection function.

Tang Di was ridiculed for no reason, turned around and wanted to leave. It seemed that it was more suitable for him to be busy on the bridge.

"A Tang..." Qin Xuan's voice seemed to be pulling light beams, but these two words easily nailed Tang Di's footsteps firmly in place.

"Brother, what else can I order?" But Tang Di still held his nerve and refused to turn his head.

Qin Xuan moved closer and touched Tang Di's head with a smile, "You seem to have grown taller again."

This simple action brought back many memories of Tang Di.

"Brother, do you think I have grown taller today?" Tang Di wished he could tiptoe to Qin Xuan's side.

"Hmm...it seems to be 2 mm taller?" Qin Xuan touched Tang Di's head and smiled.

"Brother, when will I grow as tall as you?" Tang Di was very frustrated, he wished to grow faster every day.

"You have grown ten centimeters this year. At this rate, you should be able to surpass me soon." Tang Di seems to be very obsessed with height recently. Qin Xuan looked at the taller boy in front of him, I think he is completely overthinking.

"It doesn't need to be that tall, I just want to be about the same height as you, big brother." Tang Di showed some embarrassment on his face.

"Why?" Qin Xuan was a little curious.

"Similar in height, walking together like this will make the picture more harmonious." Qin Xuan really didn't expect that the simple Tang Di would turn into a superficial face control one day.

"What are you thinking about?"

Tang Di's thoughts were interrupted by Qin Xuan again, he frowned and said, "I'm thinking, you're not bad, you've gained weight."

The implication is a bit obvious, are you despising someone who is not an emperor, and is living too leniently and fat?

Qin Xuan raised his palms and landed to give Tang Di a lesson in love, but the painful Tang Di continued to fight back while clutching half of his buttocks, "Hey, you abdicated emperor, why don't people tell the truth?" You? You are a tyrant!"

"Oh? Tyrant?" Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and his expression really became a bit cruel like a tyrant.

At the moment when the atmosphere was about to slide into danger, Tang Di slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Qin Xuan's sharp-edged, sculpture-like cheeks.

"It's been 13 years." Tang Di sighed softly.Even though human life has been extended to the greatest extent, it is still limited after all, and how many 13 years can a person have in a long life?

"12 years, nine months and seven days to be exact." The tyrant was very strict and corrected him very precisely.

Tang Di didn't expect Qin Xuan to be able to remember the day so clearly, so he immediately felt a little sour and felt a little embarrassed. He sucked his nose, deliberately avoided Qin Xuan's sight, and turned to look out the window.

The bedroom, study room, living room, etc. on the Phoenix are all equipped with portholes, even the bathroom, which was clearly requested by Qin Xuan at the beginning of the reconstruction of Tianyi.

The reason is very simple, because Tang Di likes the deep space of the universe, and Qin Xuan said that he would take Tang Di to see all the galaxy Huahui.

Sometimes Tang Di couldn't help but think wildly.He and Qin Xuan were supposed to be strangers, but they met on the planet Yisu 2 by chance.Qin Xuan stretched out his hands to him first, protecting him behind his back and giving him warmth.His "big brother" made them become affectionate brothers of different surnames.Then, the like-minded ideals made them the most tacit friends naturally.Then, at some point, they became the most important existence in each other's hearts, and became inseparable soul mates.

The transformation process in the middle, until now, neither of them can tell the truth, everything developed so naturally, it happened naturally, and it was tacitly understood.

There is no temptation and evasion, no confusion and resistance, no one is the first to pursue, and no one is the first to make a promise, and no one even knows when and why such a wonderful chemical reaction between the two began. The seeds of love grow up secretly in the soil of tacit understanding, and when they suddenly wake up, they have grown lush.

So, there will be that day.

Tang Di now only remembers that during the routine secret communication between the two of them on a certain day of a certain year, he couldn't help but stroked the cheek of Qin Xuan's holographic image for the first time, and at that time, Qin Xuan looked into his eyes, There is only Wang Yang's unrestrained self-confidence and a beautiful smile.

So, without saying a word, only the eyes meet, he understands his mind, and he also understands his mind.

That day has since become the most special existence between them.

As long as I think of it, my heart is full of sweetness.

Now the faces of the two of them have not changed and their smiling eyes are still the same, but Tang Di's palm is no longer just empty, and his heart that has been floating in mid-air since Qin Xuan left can finally land completely. up.

I remember when they were still on planet Yisu No. 2, once, when the two of them were chatting, they each described their ideal homes. Tang Di was so excited at the time, he took a brush to draw left and right, and then told Qin Xuan that he I think his future home will look like this, next to the lake, next to the woods, full of beautiful scenery and people.

And Qin Xuan stood behind him, looked at his paintings carefully, and then just said with a smile, my hometown is where my heart is at ease.

At that time, he didn't quite understand.

But now, Tang Di has already understood the meaning of this. In fact, as long as he is by Qin Xuan's side, his home is everywhere.

"I didn't expect it to be so long," Tang Di's thoughts were pulled back to reality by Qin Xuan's deep and magnetic voice, and he asked, "Did you miss me?"

Of course I want to, I think about it all the time, but Tang Di doesn’t want to admit it, so he just smiled and said, “I’ve been seeing you in the subspace communicator twice in three days, do you have any misunderstandings about holographic images? What can you think of?"

Qin Xuan squinted at Tang Di's gaze with a hint of danger, "Oh, you'd better think again before answering."

Uh, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and Tang Di is a smart man, so naturally he surrendered without the slightest hesitation, "...I think."

The answer was decent, and Qin Xuan was quite satisfied, so he moved closer, making his face suddenly magnified in front of Tang Di's eyes, and with a smile in his eyes, he placed a soft kiss between the man's eyebrows.

A warm and comfortable touch came from Tang Di's forehead, but the location of the branding seemed to make people feel a little lost.

But on Qin Xuan's withdrawn face, there was a calm smile on his face.

Sure enough, it is still His Majesty the Emperor who is very good at teasing people!

Tang Di quickly came back to his senses, restraining the little emotion in his eyes that was too late to hide.

"I'm hungry." Tang Di changed the subject.

"It's just a drink. The elder sister specially brought us some fruit wine brewed by herself." Qin Xuan was no longer embarrassing, and very cooperatively went down the slope.

In the current era of food replicators, such traditional crafts are very rare.Although Qin Yuan is a shrewd and capable economic minister outside, he likes to do what he can for his two younger brothers at home, and now there is another lovely Tang Di, so Qin Yuan set off with the two of them Before that, the kitchen in the Phoenix Suite was full of food and drinks made by her.

"Sister, you are a very warm person."

Tang Di recalled that he went home with Qin Xuan for the first time to pay a formal visit to Qin Yuan a few days ago. He was actually a little nervous, but it all disappeared the moment he saw Qin Yuan.

As soon as Qin Yuan met, he took his hand kindly and said something that made him feel confident.

"From now on, this is your home. If Qin Xuan dares to bully you, I will drive him out."

"You are very distracted today." Qin Xuan was a little dissatisfied with Tang Di's smirk and smirk all the time when he was having a meal. He was obviously sitting opposite him, so why can't he even catch this person's attention now.

"I haven't officially set off yet, but I seem to be starting to miss my elder sister and Qin Ming." Tang Di said with a shy smile after taking a sip of the fruit wine.He had no relatives since he was a child, only an adoptive father who didn't treat him very well.Later, when he met Qin Xuan, he had someone who gave him all the spiritual support.Now, because of this person, he still has a warm home and warm relatives.Tang Di is very satisfied and cherishes it.

"You can see it in the subspace communicator every day. Do you have any misunderstandings about holographic images? What can you think about?" body.

"It seems that I have to tell my eldest sister that you started to bully me before we set off." Tang Di felt that such a childish Qin Xuan was completely different from his previous majesty, and it was very funny, so he continued to tease him along with his childishness.

"So you want to drive me out of the house?" Qin Xuan angrily picked up a piece of pork ribs on the plate and bit hard, but inadvertently caused sore and unbearable battle damage on the side of his tongue.

Tang Di burst into laughter at first, and it was obvious that Qin Xuan's brows were still tightly frowned, and he immediately became worried, and quickly moved to sit beside Qin Xuan, and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

The pain was still very painful, but Tang Di's worried expression was like a painkiller shot, making Qin Xuan's brows relax immediately.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Di became more anxious, thinking that the bite was severe, and quickly opened the medical detector attached to the dining table—to ensure nothing goes wrong, such medical equipment was installed everywhere in the suite, even in the suite. There is also a complete medical cabin, but Tang Di, the designer, did not expect at the beginning that this thoughtful ingenuity would help the former Emperor His Majesty solve problems in such an occasion.

The detector showed that except for the rupture of subcutaneous capillaries on the side of the tongue due to teeth, Qin Xuan was indeed safe and sound.

"I'm fine, but this is because of your injury, how can you compensate me?" The injured Qin Xuan seemed to be even more troublesome.
