Not cold [Interstellar]

In the vast universe, the Galactic Empire, inhabited by human civilization, ushered in a grand celebration.

The lights in the capital are endless, and the houses are always on. Thousands of people are not afraid of the cold winter nights. Facing the falling snow, they flock to the streets in costumes, celebrating that in their lifetime, they are fortunate enough to witness the arrival of a millennium.

The world is so prosperous and lively, but there is a place that is out of place.

The lights of Hagia Sophia are dazzling and brilliant, and the night cannot stop her extravagant beauty.Surrounded by guards with real guns and live ammunition, the guards are cold and heavily guarded.

Because at this time and place, the legions of the entire Galactic Empire and the important officials of the Holy See gathered in the church.They are holding a luxurious New Year's Eve banquet to celebrate their fellowship in accordance with the past practice, to mend the precarious and dying friendship after another year of mutual torture.

When the banquet was in full swing, the heavy door of the church was pushed open without a sound, and a man came out.

The guard at the gate stepped forward and saluted solemnly: "Deputy Commander Zhong!"

Zhong Yue smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, happy new year."

The guard smiled happily: "Thank you, I wish you a happy millennium."

Zhong Yue nodded casually, walked a few steps, but suddenly turned back: "Do you have... a prom mask? Lend me one, thank you."

The guard hurriedly took out a very simple black mask from his personal space, and shyly said: "I only have this, it's too simple, I'm really sorry, as you, bring this..."

"It's okay." Zhong Yue smiled: "I won't go to the dance inside. On such a rare day, I want to go out for a stroll."

Snowflakes fell quietly, and Zhong Yue walked down the long jade-white stairs of Hagia Sophia Church.At the end of the long staircase is a crowd in costumes, a noisy world of mortals.

This day is December 5999, 12 in the cosmic calendar. The military power of the empire in this year still follows the ancient system and is divided equally by the three legions to check each other.

At this time, Zhong Yue's qualifications are still relatively inexperienced, and he is only one of the three deputy heads of the Second Legion.

He is a golden bachelor in the eyes of the public, young and handsome, and he is promoted quickly.But at this time, no one can predict what earth-shattering things this man will do in the future.

He will become a big man who is recorded in the history books as a big man who turns his hands into clouds and turns his hands into rain.

Zhong Yue will become one of the most outstanding military generals in the history of mankind. He heroically leads the human army to fight against the Zerg, protect his homeland, and win legendary battles with fewer victories.In 50 years, he will become the military soul of the empire, regroup the military power of the Galactic Empire, and gather power in his own hands.

Afterwards, he flexibly used his own prestige to build momentum, entered the government with the army, and broke the political structure that had lasted for more than six hundred years. Since then, the history of the Galactic Empire has been rewritten by him.

People noticed the man walking out of Hagia Sophia Church and couldn't help but wonder about his identity.He is tall and tall, wearing a simple and well-fitting dark gray formal suit, his handsome face does not show any emotions or anger, and his silent appearance has an indescribable aura, which is very eye-catching.

Everyone involuntarily watched him walk into the crowd.But Zhong Yue didn't want to be stared at, he was very familiar with the surrounding terrain, walked towards the busy street outside the church, within a few minutes, he completely disappeared from people's sight.

He walked a few blocks, ducking into alleys and darting quickly.He took off the dull formal coat he wore in the church, revealing the wine red shirt inside, and the bright silver waistcoat with a close fit and a sense of fashion. He unbuttoned the neckline to reveal some chest skin, and put on the shirt An unusually ordinary black mask.

He hung his coat on the suspended street lamp by the side of the street, and walked into the next intersection with bright colors. When the sound of melodious music came, he made a wrong step, stepped on the beat with the rhythm, and danced the dance steps of friendship tango , like swimming fish, merged into the crowd at the intersection of the street.

In this block, everyone wears masks, brightly colored clothes, and dances various dances.

Welcome the arrival of the millennium together with countless joyful strangers.

"Ke Wei, I said that the 6000th year of the cosmic calendar will soon be ushered in. This is the first time for the two of us to spend New Year's Eve in the capital. I managed to book a hotel with such a good location. You actually want to stay in a hotel room. Not going anywhere?"

Ke Wei nestled on the sofa, wrapped himself in a heavy blanket, only showing half of his delicate face, looked at the brightly lit street outside the glass wall, and said listlessly: "I have only been discharged from the hospital for a long time, and my body is still weak. It's so cold outside, I don't want to go out."

"Look here, you can see it from where you are sitting. The brightly lit one is the Hagia Sophia Church! In another hour, the church will set off the highest-standard fireworks in the interstellar world. We may be able to see this in our lifetime. Once."

"Ah."

"Walking eastward for 10 minutes, we can walk to the masquerade ball, which is the largest folk ball in the past 1000 years~ The Renaissance era of the antique earth, the masquerade ball in Venice in the [-]th century, people flocked to the streets in costumes , wearing a mask, dancing with strangers."

"Oh."

"Baby...give me some reaction, you see, I even prepared our masks and clothes, don't be so indifferent."

Ke Weiyang couldn't help his friend's begging, sighed, and compromised: "Then let's watch the fireworks in the house, after the fireworks are over, I will accompany you to the street to play?"

"It's a deal! Haha, wait for me for a while, I'll go out and buy some supper, or I'll be hungry at night."

"it is good."

The friend walked out of the room, and the room became quiet again. Ke Weiyan looked out of the window, and suddenly opened a pair of peach blossom eyes.

He saw a man on the street across the street.

With Ke Wei's eyesight, he saw that the man was wearing a wine red shirt, dark gray trousers, and a slim silver waistcoat. He was over 1.9 meters tall and wore a very ordinary black mask.

Ke Wei watched very intently, but the man's figure flickered a few times between the gaps in the tall buildings across the street, and then disappeared.

His whole body was stuck on the glass wall like a sticker, and the blanket that he had been reluctant to let go all day had already been thrown on the ground in a hurry, and he stepped on it several times unconsciously.

……is it you?

Ke Wei's heart was thumping violently, until he was sure that he would never see the figure of the man again, and then he came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He turned around abruptly, looking at the mask and clothes he had thrown aside.

Zhong Yue stretched out his arms, and a girl with short blond hair was holding his hand, spinning around his body swiftly and lightly, with a flowing skirt.

This night, on the snowy street, Zhong Yue covered all the past with a mask, danced with strangers, and felt the tranquility and peace.

"Sir, do you want to have a drink later? I treat you."

The blond girl brushed her short fluffy hair, a pair of charming gray pupils under the mask, and a red skirt wrapped her pretty figure, sending out a seductive invitation.

It only took a second for Zhong Yue to smile decisively: "I'm sorry, beautiful lady. It almost breaks my heart to reject your invitation."

The girl smiled, very knowledgeable and interesting: "It's a pity, may the glory of the Creator God be with you, and wish you a happy millennium."

When the music came to an end, the girl turned and left without nostalgia.People in costumes on the street stepped on the rhythm and exchanged their dance partners.

In this beautiful festival, Zhong Yue has danced with five beautiful strangers, sharing the joy of welcoming the new year.The clock is getting closer to twelve o'clock. In this rare millennium, he is in the middle of the busiest crowd, but he feels a deep loneliness.

There was a void in his heart without which he could never have pure peace and joy.

The mask covered his expression, no one knew the sadness in his heart, he bowed slightly, and politely greeted the next destined stranger.

is a male partner.

He's in great shape.

He was wearing a silver-gray jumpsuit with a close-fitting upper body. Under the thin fabric, his fair skin was faintly visible. His body was slender but not weak, with beautiful and smooth lines.The thin waist is outlined by the belt, and there are two long trouser legs under the waistline, which makes the already long legs look even more amazingly slender.

Black mid-length hair hangs down the side of the mask. The silver mask is painted with gilt retro patterns, and the side is dotted with dark red fluff. The slender bright wine red feathers protrude obliquely from the mask, arrogant and gorgeous.

Under the mask, a pair of black eyes reflecting the snowy light looked at him. On this gentle night, those persistent gazes were almost filled with unspeakable affection. It was an invitation that Zhong Yue could not refuse.

He is too familiar with this beautiful body, every line has been stroked and kissed by Zhong Yue, and then remembered with his soul.

Zhong Yue stared at him for a long time, and put his hand on his back when the main theme of the dance music sounded.

But he didn't want to get a piece of cool, delicate and smooth, Zhong Yue's fiery palm could feel it as soon as he put it on, the clothes actually exposed half of his back.Zhong Yue's hand, connected with his beating heart, trembled hot almost at the same time.

Zhong Yue suddenly understood that he lived a new life, no matter what choice Ke Wei made in the end...

My own soul cannot be filled without this person.

Ke Wei let out a breath of white air, in such a cold weather, he was wearing such thin clothes, almost frozen to death.

But when he was watched by Zhong Yue's eyes, he suddenly lost his coldness.When his broad palm was pressed against it, almost Ke Wei's whole body burned.

Ke Wei kept telling himself that this was the first time they met.

Zhong Yue doesn't even remember what happened in his previous life. When he was reborn as a teenager, he had the opportunity to start anew with Zhong Yue. He had nothing to ask for but to use his life to guard this miracle.

He has to control his emotions. If he loses his composure too much, it will scare people.He resisted the urge to throw himself into Zhong Yue's arms, and through a layer of shirt, he could still feel Zhong Yue's powerful body and warm vitality.

Ke Wei blinked vigorously, forcing the moisture out of the corners of his eyes, and then he was serious enough to reach out his hand and wrap his arms around Zhong Yue's back.

They start dancing.

Silent, careful, restless.

But it is as romantic and unforgettable as the flying snow and gentle lights, just like a dream.

The bell rang at 12 o'clock, and the dance music stopped abruptly.

The fireworks flew into the sky and exploded, bursting out full of colorful clusters, lighting up the dark night.

They only have each other in their eyes.

At the moment of the turn of the millennium, under the sky full of fireworks, amidst the voices of blessings...

Ke Wei stood on tiptoe, Zhong Yue looked at him.

Lips touch.
