Future Crystal Crown

Star Alliance founding anniversary, public holiday.

The whole universe is in a carnival.

At 11:30 in the morning, a small airship with powerful horsepower crossed the sky and headed straight for the spacious and flat private runway behind Cook Manor.

As soon as the airship came to a stop, a handsome young figure jumped out of it and hurriedly ran towards the main building.

Walking through the back garden with ease, into the porch and across the hall, he ran excitedly to the kitchen.

He is the Cooks' third son, Yau.

He has lived here for 17 years since he was adopted at the age of four.Unlike everyone in this family, he has pure oriental blood.Black hair, dark eyes, straight nose and light lips.

He had just graduated from a local military academy recently, and was assigned to the Fanduoxing military base not far from home, becoming a small officer of the Galaxy Defense Force.

"Mom, I'm back!" Before entering the kitchen, Qiu couldn't wait to greet his mother.

Laura, who was busy in the kitchen, raised her head and smiled tiredly at the younger son who rushed in excitedly. "Ah, Qiu is back."

"It smells so good... Mmm." Qiu swallowed, and the smell of veal steak with sauce on the fire was irresistible.

"Mom, when will the brothers come back?" Qiu asked casually, but suddenly found that the cook behind his mother was waving desperately to him.

"Eh? Oh." Qiu's heart sank, knowing that he had asked the wrong question again.

In fact, I already knew the answer when I saw the empty tarmac, and my brothers will not be back this festival.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Qiu looked at his adoptive mother apologetically.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, we'll have dinner later." Laura said to Qiu pretending to be nonchalant.

Qiu Momo turned and left the kitchen.

This is the Cook's holiday, and it's been like this every time for five years.The house is full of flowers, and the kitchen is full of fragrance, but the brothers just don't come back.Mom and Dad pretended to be indifferent, but anyone could see the disappointment that could not be concealed under their fake smiles.Over time, that loss has slowly turned into despair.

Qiu walked up the stairs step by step, his eyes unconsciously looking at the graduation photo of his brothers on the wall.The person inside is handsome and masculine, with a confident and proud smile, but coldness and determination are clearly written in his eyes.

Qiu secretly told himself that he must work hard to get the chance to go to the capital, and then he could meet his brothers and ask them why they treated their parents like this.

After I changed my clothes and went downstairs, a sumptuous lunch was already on the table.

Asparagus salad mixed with champagne saffron vinegar, French duck boiled with lemon sage, lobster braised in thin sauce, baked potatoes with sweet and spicy pepper, chicken with lemongrass and coconut sauce... This is the tradition of Cook Manor, and it is served every major festival There will be an eleven-course meal.

Mom and Dad sat at both ends of the long white gold powder table as usual, and the servants responsible for serving the food were already standing by the sideboard.Qiu sat on his own seat in the middle of the long table and looked across.The two empty chairs opposite belonged to the two older brothers.

"Happy holidays." Dad raised his glass.

"Happy holidays." Qiu echoed.

There was no movement on the mother's side.

Qiu felt sad.Mom must be thinking about my brothers.

"Yu, how are you doing at the base?" Dad asked.

"Oh, it's good. My colleagues take good care of me, and the work is easy." Qiu hopes that saying this will make his parents happy.

Although the Fanduoxing base is an extremely remote outpost, there is nothing you want, and it is worse than a prison for others.But he likes it because it's close to home.

"Qiu, I heard from your chief that the salary there is very low, and it would be difficult for you to get promoted if you stay there all the time. Have you ever thought about it?" Dad understands Qiu. Motivated, if no one pushes him, he may accomplish nothing all his life.

"Oh, Dad, I just started working, why do I think so much? You just let me muddle along for a few days." Qiu.

"Hehe." Father Cook shook his head with a wry smile.

"Let's get along?" The mother who came back from the fugue heard the last sentence. "Why do we have such useless children in our family?"

Yau made a face. "Yes, Mom, you have to face the reality and be sad."

"Oh." Mom sighed.Qiu's joking personality is very good, but he is not those two children after all, he cannot replace them.

"Mom, look, the world is like this. You can't have the best of both worlds. My brothers are very good but they can't go home to see my mother. I can often go home to see my mother, but I always give my mother a headache. So mom, you have to look at life selectively. , When you think of your brothers, you feel the pride of being a great mother, and when you see me, you think of what an excellent breeder you are." Qiu Dayan shamelessly self-destructed.

"Qiu, are you comforting Mommy?" Mom Laura couldn't laugh or cry.

"Well, I may still be old for many years, I hope you will not be too surprised." Qiu.

"Hehe, Qiu, this home will always be your home. Come on, you can just eat it at ease." Dad handed the enthusiastic veal steak to Qiu.

Qiu was so excited that his saliva almost dropped.

Mother Laura watched quietly as her young son devoured the food.

This child is a pistachio bestowed on her by God, thanks to having him by her side all these years.Otherwise, how would she spend so many days and nights?

"Dad, I may have to go out recently." Qiu took a breath, raised his head and said.

"Oh, are you going out for training?" Dad asked.

"No, I recently participated in a selection competition. I passed the written test and the computer simulation competition. After the festival, I'm going to participate in the selection of the military region...well, so I have to memorize a lot of questions." Qiu saw the steaming When the seafood cheese pot enters the door, the eyes are straightened.

"This is big news!" Dad raised his eyebrows and looked at Mom across the long dining table.

Yau is going to the game?He has always been a person who doesn't like to study, doesn't like to do homework, is afraid of exams, and is afraid of competitions. If he didn't envy his two brothers in military uniforms, he wouldn't go to military school.

Just such a clumsy, lazy and easy-going child who suddenly wants to compete with others one day? !

"Qiu, what kind of selection is the competition about?" Mom asked worriedly.

"It's about paleontology. I don't know why this topic has become so hot recently. The military department even issued a mobilization order to encourage everyone to participate in the competition. I didn't expect my grades to be quite good." Qiu struggled to cut open the veal steak on the plate .

Parents already know it.

Qiu has loved the knowledge of paleontology since he was a child, and he has a special sensitivity and curiosity about those extinct species.This opportunity may be a good opportunity for him to show his talents.

"In this case, then you should seize the opportunity." Dad encouraged Qiu.

"Yes, Dad, it's time for me to try my best once in my life." The young master spoke boldly in a rare way.

"Pfft." Even the servants watching couldn't help laughing.

Cook and his wife also looked at each other and smiled. This festival finally had something to make them happy.

A week later, Yau video-phoned his parents. "Mom, I'm going to Emperor Star."

"Huh? Go so far?" The mother in the [-]D video was taken aback.

Monarch is the capital of the Interstellar Federation, which is the center of the universe, the Abell 2029 galaxy group.Billions of light-years away from here.

"Mom, maybe I can see my brother." Qiu's face was flushed with excitement. "What will I say when I see them?"

"Well, you said..." Mother Laura was so excited that her mind was confused.

"Mom, what should I say if I see my brother?" Qiu asked.

"If you see your brothers, tell them: Mommy misses them!" Dad chimed in.

"Okay. Dad." Qiu looked at his mother. "Is it because mom doesn't want to say anything?"

Laura smiled wryly. It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with Qiu, but that she remembered what had happened when she heard the name of Emperor Star.

It was the same with her two biological children back then, who happily went to the capital once and then never wanted to go home again.They study hard just to leave this family as soon as possible, and they are admitted to the top military academy in the universe just to completely break with this family.

Now that the kid is going to the capital, will the same thing happen again?

Laura dared not think.
