The election of the new parliament of the Lacey Empire finally ended successfully one month later. The members of Congress elected according to the population ratio of Alpha, Beta, and Omega gathered in the political hall of Cepheus and promulgated the new ABO gender protection bill. .The research team of the Imperial Central Hospital also proposed an in vitro embryo culture program to improve the Beta fertility rate at the conference, which was unanimously welcomed by the Betas.

At the same time, the conference also established a new Omega Conservation Association, with Berg as the president of the association, and brothers Ling Feng and Ling Yu as the vice presidents. All Omega will automatically join the Conservation Association as members, accounting for only 5% of the population Omega, with extremely high mortality rate and special physique, finally ushered in the real spring.

From now on, the Omega Association will serve as their most powerful and solid backing, absolutely protecting their rights and interests—rather than acting as a cage that constrains them.

The chairman of the Mecha Association is the highly prestigious Mr. Aston, and the imperial mecha level review standards that have not changed for hundreds of years have also undergone a major change.At the same time, Congress established a new educational institution to uniformly control schools throughout the empire, and re-enacted the school regulations of the original St. Paul Academy, the exclusive academy for Omega.

The 799th year of the cosmic calendar has also become the most important turning point in the history of the empire.

※※※※※

In the golden autumn of September of this year, the major academies of the empire, which had been on vacation for four months due to the war, finally ushered in the first new semester after the civil war was settled.

The St. Romia Military Academy also issued an email notice to all teachers and students, setting the start of school on September 9.

On the morning of September 9th, Lingyuan and Nishizawa took the spaceship to Pojunxing together. When they arrived at the school, it was already after 9 o’clock in the evening. It was dark, and the orange street lights were like chains, crisscrossing the campus. , illuminating the entire military academy as brightly as day.

Every few steps, you can meet students who are also returning to school with their luggage. The dining hall is full of people. Obviously, the students returning to school have already started their supper time.

After a holiday, returning to school seems like a lifetime away.

Lingyuan stopped at the entrance of the dining hall. In a trance, he seemed to be able to see the scene of the four people in their dormitory gathering there for supper. The guy named Brian always helped Snow take food with a smile on his face. Yes, every time I would take the glutinous rice cake that Snow liked, and said with a look of disgust: Lin Yuan is a big eater who can't get enough...

Those scenes are still vivid in my mind, however, that person never came back.

Seeing his disappointed expression, Caesar guessed what he was thinking, and recalled the happy years when Brian was still there, and couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.After a long silence, Caesar gently held Ling Yuan's hand and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Ling Yuan nodded, and returned to the dormitory with Caesar.

When he opened the door, the light was on. At that moment, Lingyuan even mistook it for Brian to come back. However, when he opened the door, he saw Snow packing his things in the room expressionlessly.

Since the end of the war, Snow and Ling Feng returned to Pojunxing and lived in the house bought by his father Udyr.

Lingyuan and Snow hadn't seen each other for more than a month. When they saw him again at this time, they found that he had lost weight, his hair had grown a lot, and his face had returned to the extremely cold expression when they first met.

Ling Yuan felt very uncomfortable seeing him like this, but he didn't know how to comfort him...

On the day when the news of Brian's accident came, the moment he saw Snow cry, he knew how important Brian was to Snow.With such an important person leaving him, any words of comfort would be superfluous.

The two brothers looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while.

There was suddenly one person missing in the originally four-person room, and the remaining three were relatively speechless, feeling a strange emptiness in their hearts.If Brian was present at this time, he would definitely say a few jokes with the cheek to completely break this embarrassing atmosphere.

Caesar sighed softly in his heart, and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, everyone go to bed early, we have to gather tomorrow morning."

Snow nodded, turned around and walked into the room, closing the door gently.

The next morning, all the students gathered, and the headmaster re-read the school regulation reform of the San Romia Military Academy, and then the students of each major went to class separately.

The course schedule for this semester is still very full, and Lingyuan quickly devoted himself to his studies, but Caesar, because of the previous public declaration on the TV station, many students knew that he was a prince, some flattered him, and some deliberately alienated him , and there are students like Baker who have no nerve in their heads. They ran over and gave Caesar a thumbs up: "That passage from the TV station is really cool!"

Caesar smiled back at him, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: If you knew that the squad leader you admire the most is actually an Omega, and would become my princess, your jaw would probably drop to the ground.

Caesar has always kept a low profile. Now that the prince's identity is public, he needs to be more cautious in his words and deeds. Therefore, except for a few students he is familiar with, he keeps silent most of the time in class, and just listens carefully to the class and reads the book.

Snow, on the other hand, put all his energies on his studies. He went to the library to read after dinner every day, and didn't come back until very late.He wanted to use such a busy way to reduce the time he missed that person, but he still couldn't help dreaming of Brian's smile in his dreams.

Many times, when he woke up in the morning, the pillow was wet with tears. Snow never felt that he was a person who could not bear the blow. Come here, but this time, after such a long time, he still feels very uncomfortable. He has no way to convince himself to accept such a cruel fact.

He always felt that Brian hadn't left, that the four-person dormitory was full of Brian's breath, and that when he came back at night, Brian would turn on the light and wait for him...

However, every night when he came home late from self-study, what awaited him was darkness.

There was no more that warm light.

Brian's bedroom still maintains the same appearance as when the four of them left. A coat is casually placed beside the bed, a mecha model he made on the table, and a half-drawn and unfinished design blueprint on the table. ...

※※※※※

At noon that day, Snow was sitting in the corner of the dining hall eating, suddenly a familiar curly-haired beauty sat down in front of him, smiled and said hello: "Hi, Snow, what are you up to now? I haven't seen you for a long time gone."

——It's Shirley-senpai, with long curly hair, and her smile is still so generous.

Snow nodded to her politely, and said, "Senior sister, have you finished your experiment?"

Due to the suspension of classes in the entire empire, Shirley's third-year students' graduation time was also postponed to September. Snow had been helping this senior sister's laboratory before, and he didn't go there after school started.

Shirley smiled and said, "I've finished it long ago. I will defend my dissertation at the end of this month. Thank you for helping me before."

Snow said politely: "Senior sister is too polite. I should thank you for lending me the laboratory."

Shirley looked around Snow and joked, "By the way, where's that Brian who follows you all day?"

Snow's hand trembled suddenly, and he accidentally knocked over the bowl on the table. Hot soup was poured onto his hand, and the skin on the back of his hand was scorched red. The burning pain seemed to spread to the bottom of his heart instantly.

Shirley asked worriedly, "Are you all right? Snow?"

Xue Lier was startled by Snow's pale face, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly handed him a clean wet towel.

The soup that was just brought over happened to be freshly baked, and I wanted to dry it before drinking it, but unexpectedly I knocked over the bowl, and the hot soup left a large red mark on the back of my white hand.Snow looked at the shocking burn area, calmly wiped it off with a tissue, got up and said, "It's okay, senior, I'll go back first."

Shirley could only stare blankly at his back disappearing at the entrance of the dining hall...

Is it her illusion?This student who was originally indifferent, seemed to wrap himself tightly with a colder and harder shell after the start of school this time.

Snow was walking back to the dormitory, the glare of the sun made his brain a little dizzy, his steps were sloppy, and his feet were as weak as if they were stepping on cotton.Just now, senior sister Shirley's unintentional joke pierced into his heart like a sharp knife——

What about Brian who follows you all day?

Yes, Brian who used to be by my side all the time and couldn’t be chased away...Brian who used to go to get glutinous rice cakes for himself every time he had a meal... used to always go to the library to lie there Brian, who was reading medical books by his side...

Where did you go now?

Brian... are you coming back?

I want to tell you personally that I like you too...

※※※※※

This weekend, Snow and Lingyuan were called back to their residence by Lingfeng again.In addition to having a meal together, Ling Feng also had to inject them with inhibitors on time to prevent accidents from happening.

Holding Snow's hand, he saw an obvious burn on the back of his hand at a glance, Ling Feng asked distressedly: "What's wrong?"

Snow said calmly: "It's okay, I accidentally burned it while eating."

Seeing that his injury was not too serious, Ling Feng didn't ask any more questions. He took some topical ointment and gently applied it to the wound. Then he changed his other hand and injected the inhibitor into the blood vessel on his arm.

After lunch, the three were chatting on the sofa when General Udyr came back suddenly. He watched the three of them silent for a moment, then walked to Snow and sat down, gently hugged his son's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Snow, I have some news for you..."

Snow looked back at his father in doubt, "What news?"

Udyr said: "The people sent by the Long Snake Legion to find Brian found something this morning..."

Snow's eyes widened suddenly, and his fingers couldn't help trembling in shock, "What, what did you find?"

Udyr was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "They found Brian's mecha on a planet near the Lyra constellation. The exterior of the mecha has been completely damaged, but fortunately, there is still a part of the intelligent system. Brian suffered a serious injury. Before he fell into a coma, he let the mecha activate the freezing system and temporarily freeze himself..."

Snow was startled, and immediately stood up from the sofa, and said excitedly, "Where is he now? I want to go and see him..."

Udyr pressed Snow back onto the sofa, and interrupted him in a low voice: "Snow, calm down. Multiple organs in Brian's body were damaged, and they have been sent to Cepheus Central Hospital to be temporarily frozen. The organs need to be re-cultivated After the transplant operation was completed, His Majesty personally ordered a group of experts to set up a treatment team. His ward has been completely isolated, and you will not see him now..."

The original excited mood was like being poured with a basin of cold water, but Snow clenched his fingers with an ugly face, unable to say a word.

organ transplant...

That was the operation he had undergone when he was five years old.

In the technologically advanced empire, this kind of surgery is already very common, and the success rate is extremely high. The key lies in the cultivation of new organs. It is very difficult to cultivate a harmless organ that completely fits the main body. Snow had waited a full five years for the original heart transplant operation. In [-], Brian was seriously injured this time, and needed multiple organ transplantation, so the cultivation process might be even longer...

I don't know how long I'll have to wait before I see that boy smiling in front of me again...

However, as long as he is still alive, he has the hope of waiting until he wakes up.

Compared with the despair of accepting that he is dead, as long as there is a little hope that he can live, it is enough to shed a warm light in Snow's icy heart.

Snow was pale and silent for a long time, finally, under the worried gaze of the two fathers and Xiao Yuan, he nodded lightly and said, "I understand...I will wait for him to come back."

※※※※※

Time passed quickly, and it was the final exam in a blink of an eye. After intense review, everyone passed the final exam smoothly.

Udyr decided to take Lingfeng and Snow back to Capital Star during the holiday, and Snow also wanted to go to the Central Hospital to see Brian, so Snow returned to Cepheus with Caesar and Lingyuan. Under the arrangement of Udyr, he came to the Central Hospital.

Coincidentally, on the day they arrived at the hospital, Berg unexpectedly gave birth to Brian's younger brother. The people who were going to visit Brian heard the news and stopped by to visit the newborn baby.

When the three of them came to the ward, they saw a newborn baby placed in a cradle beside the bed. It was said to be an Omega boy, very obedient, neither crying nor fussing, biting his finger in his mouth, sleeping soundly , the white and tender little guy looks very cute.

After Berg gave birth to his son, his mood improved a lot. When he saw the three teenagers, he rarely smiled and said, "Are you here to see Brian?"

Caesar nodded and asked, "Uncle Wang, how is he doing now?"

Berg smiled and said: "The doctor told me that the umbilical cord blood of the newborn brother is of great benefit to organ cultivation. The doctors of the expert group are meeting. If everything goes well, the time for organ cultivation can be shortened by half. "

When he saw the dilapidated mech brought back from the Lyra and the frozen boy in the cockpit, Berg even felt that his blood was frozen, so cold that he had no temperature at all.

But after a long time, he also gradually accepted this fact—compared with Brian's sacrifice, temporarily freezing and waiting for a long organ transplant operation is already a kindness from God to him.

He didn't dare to expect Brian to wake up immediately and call his father. He only hoped that his son could survive...survive smoothly...

Looking at the baby sleeping in the cradle, Berg's eyes became gentle involuntarily.

The name of this child is Brad, which means "get". He hopes that this child can get the life he wants in the future, and live a safe and happy life. He also hopes that the birth of this child can bring happiness to his brother. Good luck.

After Brian wakes up, he will definitely take good care of this little brother Omega as he promised at the beginning, and as a younger brother, Brad must also be proud of having a brave brother like Brian... right?

Berg stretched out his hand and gently held the soft little hand of the baby in the cradle. The child reflexively grasped his father's fingers. The picture of the father and son holding hands in front of the hospital bed was so warm that Germany, who rushed from the military headquarters, General Lu almost shed tears.

※※※※※

After coming out of the Berg ward, the three of them were led by the doctor to the VIP isolation ward on the top floor of the Central Hospital.

There is a transparent cryogenic chamber in the center of the ward. Brian is soaked in the icy blue liquid, with a lot of transparent tubes inserted into his body. His face looks as pale as a dead person because of the freezing...

Ling Yuan's eyes were red, looking at Brian who was frozen in the cryogenic cabin, his throat was choked and he couldn't speak.

Caesar stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brian, I know you can survive, come on, we are all waiting for you to wake up."

Even though Caesar knew that Brian would not hear it, he felt that Brian could feel it.

After being silent for a while, Caesar turned around and left with Ling Yuan, leaving Snow alone.

Snow walked in front of the transparent cryogenic cabin, looked at the familiar boy in the cryogenic cabin, his vision suddenly became blurred.

He has experienced freezing before, and he knows how painful this feeling of being frozen is. Although Brian is unconscious at the moment, he will remember all this when he wakes up. Low……

This is the sequelae that all people who have experienced freezing will leave.

Snow looked at the boy lying in the ice-blue liquid, and said softly: "Brian, your brother was born today, he is an Omega boy, very healthy and cute, you must expect him to call you brother, right? So, you have to wake up quickly..."

"...Also, I always refused to say what you always wanted to hear. When you wake up, I will tell you..."

Snow talked to himself, and his soft voice echoed in the empty room, but the frozen person couldn't make any answer at all.

After a long time, Snow leaned down, and said in a very soft, very soft voice at the position of Brian's ear, "Brian, I have been waiting for you to come back...don't make me wait too long, okay?"

The people in the cryogenic cabin didn't respond at all, Snow kept looking at him intently, as if looking at him could wake up Brian.I don't know how long it took, until the doctor's urging sound came from outside the door, and Snow reluctantly left there.
