The Man Disgusted by Death

After only a dozen seconds, Lu Zhao's face became a little stiff. If he wasn't in the elevator, he might have fled the door long ago.Fortunately, the heavens sensed Lu Zhao's prayer and made his bracelet ring a communication notification.

Without even looking at it, Lu Zhao immediately connected the phone.

"Hey, hello, ah, auntie... yes... um? No, I am going with my classmates this time, they are all fans of Deep Space Tour... no need, auntie, my classmates have VIP boxes The... spaceship also has a... meet and greet? Will this be too much trouble... oh, that's fine..."

After Mrs. Mu heard that Lu Zhao was going to Silver Frost City to listen to the concert of Journey to Deep Space, she made a special phone call to ask if she could help book tickets and pick up the spaceship. When the band members met, Lu Zhao couldn't refuse categorically. On the one hand, his aunt was very enthusiastic, as if she must help, and on the other hand, Qiao Miaomiao and Aida would definitely be happy, so Lu Zhao agreed.

In the process of answering the phone, the elevator reached the first floor. Lu Zhao bowed slightly to Ji Heng, quickly said 'goodbye, senior', and walked out while talking.

Ji Heng stood alone in the elevator for 40 seconds, which was the time they spent together today, of which the two talked for ten seconds, and he was listening to Lu Zhao answering the phone for the remaining 30 seconds.

Lu Zhao's aunt, they have only known each other for a few months, but they have the kind of intimacy and naturalness that can be heard from the phone, and Lu Zhao's classmate, the guy who has a VIP box and a spaceship, can make way Zhao accompanied him to a concert that he didn't really like, how close their relationship must be.

Ji Heng only felt deeply powerless, because those things were too extravagant and out of reach for him.

***

When Star Day comes, Nebula Academy will have a three-day holiday as usual.

The Deep Space Journey Empire Tour Amber Station was held in Silver Frost City on the evening of the first day of the holiday. In the afternoon, Lu Zhao asked Qiao Miaomiao to take the latter's flying car to pick up Ada.

"Girls are more attractive after all." Qiao Miaomiao sighed pretentiously, "I have asked you out many times but refused, but now I finally nodded, just for a girl I just met not long ago."

"Ada and I have known each other since last year, and our mechs are based on the same principle." Lu Zhao corrected, "Besides, I didn't go this time for her."

"Not for her, why else?"

"For you." Lu Zhao said seriously.

"It's really for me?"

"Of course, I like Miao Miao best."

Qiao Miaomiao's face was a bit hot, in fact, it's nothing to talk about likes and dislikes between friends, but every time Lu Zhao said this, he was always very solemn and serious, as if he was making a formal confession .

Qiao Miaomiao combed his hair with his fingers, and complained uncomfortably, "Did you tell anyone else what you said?"

"What?"

"What do you like? You can't just say such things casually, you know?"

"I know, so I haven't told anyone about it." Lu Zhao saw Qiao Miaomiao's face wrinkled, so he reached out to rub his curly hair, "Miaomiao is the cutest." At the end, he scratched Qiao Miaomiao with his fingers. scratched the latter's chin.

Why does this feel so weird?

As if struck by lightning, Qiao Miaomiao exploded after being petrified for a few seconds, "Stop! Bastard! What do you mean? Do you treat me like a pet?!"

After Ada got into the car, Qiao Miaomiao deliberately ignored Lu Zhao and started talking with Ada.

Ada was not as careless as usual, she was more reserved and polite. She thanked Qiao Miaomiao for his generosity, and then chatted with him about the deep space journey.The two of them seemed to have no other similarities, but the common idol made the two of them talk more and more speculatively, and soon became familiar with each other.

Nebula Academy is not far from the nearest spaceship docking station, and it will arrive soon.After boarding the private spaceship of Qiao's family, Qiao Miaomiao seemed to be a bit of a master, instead of continuing the cold war with Lu Zhao, he invited Lu Zhao and Ada to drink tea together.

Qiao's spaceship is very luxurious, and the lounge has an oversized porthole with a view. The three of them chatted about the beautiful scenery of Amber while eating tea.But it was mainly Qiao Miaomiao and Ada who were talking, Lu Zhao dozed off in a comfortable chair, and was still a little dazed after being woken up.

"Enough sleep, Silver Frost City is here." Qiao Miaomiao pinched Lu Zhao's face, making a red mark.

"Ah?" Lu Zhao blinked, then sat up, and through the wide porthole, he could see a beautiful city shining with silver light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Unlike Topa City, which gradually developed and expanded, Silver Frost City is a new city that has undergone rigorous planning and design. Its architectural style is unique and distinctive. When viewed from the sky, the buildings and roads below are like blooming flowers.

"It's so beautiful!" Lu Zhao exclaimed.

The spaceship landed slowly.

There was more than half an hour before the concert started, because we had already eaten a lot on the spaceship, and everyone didn't want to eat dinner.

"It's okay, refreshments will be provided in the box, and we can go to dinner after watching the performance." Qiao Miaomiao suggested this, and the other two agreed very much.

The concert of Deep Space Journey is called 'Golden Horizon', and the venue is located in the amphitheater in the central area of ​​Silver Frost City. When Lu Zhao and the others arrived by flying car, the audience had already started to enter.

It was the first time in Lu Zhaoping's life that he entered such a beautiful building.

His hometown is a small place, not to mention the colonial star. When he first arrived in Amber, he was shocked once by the Amber Space Transportation Center. Some buildings in Xingyun College are also magnificent, but those buildings are big and big. Not as beautiful as the Silver Frost Theater.

It was a kind of extreme luxury that Lu Zhao had never seen before.

It's like the kind of primitive handicrafts popular in the ignorance period before human exploration of the universe, meaningless and impractical, but beautiful indeed.

The aesthetics of the space age is still dominated by simplicity and clarity, because no matter how finely crafted something is, it will appear insignificant in the face of infinitely expanding time and space.

Lu Zhao has been living with that simple and practical aesthetic for more than [-] years, so after entering this building, he was greatly shocked in his heart.

"Why, are you blind?" Qiao Miaomiao beckoned, "Don't look, go to the box first."

"The Silver Frost Theater was designed by Prince Fan Xi, and it is as gorgeous as ever." Ada sighed.

"Prince? Is the designer here a royal family?" Lu Zhao asked.

"That's right, Prince Fanxi is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, don't you know? There are only a few members of the royal family, and you can count them with one hand." Ada was very surprised, "Although the Prince doesn't participate in politics, he is in the art world." It’s still very important.”

"Oh." Lu Zhao rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I rarely read those news."

Although the empire is still a monarchy, since the constitutional reform of Yuan Chang Emperor more than 100 years ago, the imperial power has been greatly restricted.Emperor Yuanchang is a very legendary emperor. He came to power through a bloody palace coup, and then worked hard to rule, more than doubling the territory of the empire. After the Zerg invasion, he even went to the battlefield to participate in the battle.That war lasted for decades, until Liao Xingshen, the imperial god of war, defeated the Zerg main force in the Battle of Righeim.

After the defeat of the Zerg race, Emperor Yuanchang's prestige reached its peak, but at this time he proposed constitutional reforms, through which the power of the parliament was improved.Probably in order to avoid the kind of court coup that happened before he ascended the throne, Emperor Yuan Chang also revised the royal inheritance law, stipulating that only legitimate children who gave birth naturally are eligible to inherit the throne, thus avoiding illegitimate children and various cloning by technical means The descendants of the royal family participated in the seizure.

Since Emperor Yuanchang had no heirs, he chose an adopted son among the royal family as the crown prince, that is, Rongcheng I who succeeded him later, who is the grandfather of His Majesty today.Rong Cheng's family had no heirs in the first place, and according to the strict royal inheritance law, the offspring of the princess cannot inherit the status of the royal family, and the offspring of the prince can inherit the status of the royal family, so there are very few members of the royal family in the empire.

According to the royal practice, the descendants of the royal family will not appear in public until they reach adulthood. Therefore, the only royal family members that citizens can see in the news are the emperor and queen, the prince and princess, and the eldest princess.

"Speaking of which, the eldest son of His Royal Highness seems to have grown up a long time ago, why hasn't he appeared yet?" Ada suddenly thought of a question when she was counting the members of the royal family with her fingers.

Lu Zhao didn't know anything about these things, and just casually echoed, "Is it weird?"

"Of course it's strange." Ada muttered, at this time they had already entered the special elevator, and there was no one else nearby, so she continued to break the news with confidence, "When the first prince was born, the first emperor was still in power, this prince is very worthy of the late emperor's love." Huan Xin, at that time the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had not yet had children, so he was the first grandchild of the royal family, and it is said that the late emperor even listed the eldest prince as the second crown prince."

"Oh." Lu Zhao is a pure listener and has no idea.

Qiao Miaomiao rolled his eyes, "Who knows if this royal secret is true or not."

While talking, the elevator door opened, and outside was Qiao Miaomiao's VIP box.

The box is not big, there are four seats in total, and the seats are all arranged towards the glass window, and there is a huge curved space outside the window.

When the three of them walked in, the door closed behind them.

"Welcome all distinguished guests." A sweet female voice rang out, "I am Lisa Zhinao of the Silver Frost Theater, and I will serve you wholeheartedly. Do you need the box to be seated now?"

"Take your seat." Qiao Miaomiao said.

"Okay, the box is moving—"

As soon as Zhinao's voice fell, Lu Zhao noticed that the box began to vibrate very slightly. If the picture outside the window did not change accordingly, it could almost be ignored.

"Sit whatever you want." Qiao Miaomiao seemed to be quite familiar with this place, and he told the other two that they could just tell Zhinao what they wanted to eat.

Lu Zhao and Ada each ordered something and ate while waiting for the show to start.
