Rib Flower [Ability]

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Sayero, Helo's guardian?"

A middle-aged man asked with concern in a concerned tone.

Recognizing that the voice belonged to the terrifying dean, Herlo squinted his eyes and lay motionless on the hospital bed, pretending that he hadn't woken up from the coma, peeking at the man standing outside through the gap in the curtain.

As he did every time he came to school, the man was well-dressed. A long gray windbreaker set off his fit figure elegantly and sexyly. The inner white shirt was tightly buttoned to the throat. He wore a burgundy tie he had chosen by himself; a dark purple tulip was stuck in his pocket, his shoulder-length blond hair was combed back, and his handsome face showed an inhuman coldness because of the gold-rimmed glasses. Almost like a young father who is called "elite".

His head was full of ear-piercing fantasies.

"Yes. What's the matter with Helo?"

Hearing the suppressed tension in the familiar voice, his heart felt sweet, as if he smelled the intoxicating fragrance of that tulip.

"Well...it's like this. He fainted in the weightlessness simulator during the physical fitness test. The school doctor said it wasn't a big problem, but he had some hypoglycemia. He can skip the calculus class tonight."

"Then, I'll take a leave of absence for him, and the next physical fitness test class—I mean from now on."

Sayero's tone cooled down, and although he was still gentle, there was an obvious hint of unkindness.

"About this, I remember I mentioned it to you when I was in school. The child's physical fitness is indeed not good, but that can't obliterate his outstanding talent and potential. I hope you...don't embarrass him anymore, okay?"

Sayero took off the tulip in his pocket and sniffed it, and rubbed it lightly between his fingers, but it seemed that what he was pinching was not the fragile flower stem, but the fat neck of the person in front of him. pressure.

The man's throat couldn't help being a little tight, and he still raised his head arrogantly: "But he can't pass the physical fitness test, and he won't be able to serve in the military like other children in the future. Mr. Sayero, you are an immigrant, but you should know that today's Our country's policy in this situation."

He coughed dryly, and pointed to the medal under the table glass seriously: "The melee war between several countries 15 years ago has not stopped yet, and the interstellar pirates took the opportunity to continue to devour the airspace of our solar system. The end of the world is coming! Qualified to be a space Only warriors can enter that school. We don't waste resources to raise waste and freaks, but only cultivate geniuses!"

Helo's heart sank.

He saw the director of teaching stand up from the sofa with his big pooping body supported, but a slender and powerful hand put his shoulders on his shoulders, gently "pressing" like patting dust, and then fell back to sit, pressing The sofa let out a scream, as if scolding himself for his incompetence.

Why can't we last a little longer?It's just a weightlessness simulator, and it won't really fall to your death!

Helo subconsciously condemned himself.

"I said, I need an exception, Mr. Zhou." Sayero leaned over slightly, put the budding tulip on the table, and held a round metal piece from between its petals.

Kellogg was surprised to recognize it as a secret casino chip.

Usually, it can be exchanged for a considerable sum of money.

The man who got the huge sum of money at his fingertips lowered his head with a half-smile, leaned close to the ear of the stunned guy on the sofa, put the metal piece upright on the table, flicked his fingers lightly, and the little thing flew into a spin.

"I can invest in your school, enough money to fund an expansion and a new campus for you to raise what you call 'crap'. I can also take it to the police station - I know you have hundreds This kind of thing is hidden in the drawer, shall we block the game? Mr. Zhou...Lifeisagambling."

Sayero's voice was deep and magnetic, and his fingertips "clicked" on the metal sheet. This small gesture that is common in casinos is so bold at the moment.

He was answered by a silence that seemed to be tacit approval.

Then came the sound of steady footsteps, approaching him.

Helo closed his eyes tightly, feeling a pair of powerful hands hugging his body, and instantly couldn't help but want to grab the other's skirt tightly and curl up into the man's arms.

The money, the money that Sayero earned from the dangerous arena, the black market, and the unknown outer space, was almost all used to pay his tuition and treat his congenital diseases.

"Why, you dare to continue pretending to me? Did you forget the lesson of the previous few days so quickly?"

The man lowered his head and held him tighter in his arms, his hard Adam's apple rolling over the back of his neck.

"elder brother."

He muttered, struggling to stand up straight on the ground, and stood on tiptoes, his forehead was not even on the man's shoulder, so he had to raise his head to look up at the man's face.

"let me……"

Dropping out of school——he didn't dare to finish the word, and he had already caught a glimpse of the storm that was preparing for a rainy day in those eyes that couldn't tell if it was cloudy or sunny.Those calloused fingers brushed across his lower lip, and the familiar smell of smoke permeated his nostrils.

He opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to kiss the fingertips of the other party, but the tip of his tongue tasted the sweetness of chocolate.

"If you have low blood sugar, don't forget to bring some sugar with you. Don't be like a little rabbit who only knows how to eat vegetables all day long."

The height gap that cannot be bridged is obvious, and the tall and handsome man looks down at him.

The distance between them was too ambiguous, as if he could expect more, but there was an irreducible distance between them like that little height difference.

The man scraped off the film on the chocolate with his thumb, fed the whole piece into his mouth, and then wiped the corner of his mouth with his hard protruding phalanx. Like the twinkling starlight, his heart shivered.

He lowered his head and walked in front of the other party, blushing silently, savoring the taste in his mouth.

The sweetness spreads from the taste buds a little bit, and an indescribable bitterness is chewed from it.Like the melancholy and bewitching tobacco smell that always lingers on Sayero.He stared at Sayero's finger holding the cigarette butt, his eyes lingering on the light blue veins, clear and tough joints, and when Sayero reached out to wipe the chocolate sauce from the corner of his lips, he accidentally caught one of the other's fingers , I licked it lightly with the tip of my tongue.At that time, Sayero froze for a moment like an electric shock, retracted his hand with some hesitation, clamped the body of the cigarette again, lowered his eyelids and frowned, his cheeks sunken deeply, and blurred everything with a puff of smoke—his adolescence Restlessness and his unwillingness to respond to the silence kneaded into an obscure and hazy gas.

Helo woke up with a sudden heartbeat, and there was still a hint of bitter sweetness in his mouth.He smacked his lips and seemed to really taste a chocolate.

The light on the wall of the sleeping cabin emits a faint blue light, illuminating the small space around him.He began to miss Sayero terribly again.

"Hiss... hiss..."

In the silence, a faint sound sounded faintly from outside the cabin door.He tensed his body, pricked up his ears to listen carefully, only felt that someone was scratching on the bulkhead and walking slowly on the side.It lasted for a while, and it seemed that the person hesitated at the door for a while, and the movement went away in another direction.

Helo turned on the lights in the cabin and the light on the mechanical wristband, pushed the door open a crack, and peeked out.

The light in the orbital module was on, flickering as if the voltage was unstable, imprinting the pale light on the retina and then scraping it off. He blinked his blurred eyes uncomfortably, and saw a figure from behind in the long orbital module The end flashed by.
