Wizard he really doesn't want to roll [Rebirth]

It was September when Lin Xiaoming told Lu Jinchao that he was leaving again.

At that time, Lu Jinchao was sitting at the table researching related literature on neurosis, and when he heard Lin Xiaoming talk about it, he was stunned for a while.

"How long will we go this time?"

"One year, maybe two years."

Lu Jinchao said hello and said no more. He looked at the text on the virtual screen in front of him again, but he couldn't concentrate.

It has only been four months since Lin Xiaoming returned from his last mission.

He understands Lin Xiaoming's work, especially in today's turbulent stage, it is impossible for Lin Xiaoming to be idle in the special department of the military department.Especially for Sentinels, they were born to be sent to the battlefield to protect the country.

It's just...he understands the truth, but it's so hard to accept.

It turned out to be a unit to be calculated in years.

Lin Xiaoming stood at the door of the bedroom, looking at Lu Jin sitting at the table with his back turned to him, and did not leave after receiving the response.

He knew that Lu Jinchao felt uncomfortable, and which couple can accept good things when they get together less and leave more?

With the deepening of Nicola's dispatch of eyeliner, Grenisu thoroughly confirmed that the Skaar galaxy had become another stronghold of the Dogon at some point. If it was not pulled out, once the war started, it would become a deep A deep thorn in the Federation.

Lin Xiaoming knew that he was the most suitable candidate, and the memory of his previous life would be the greatest help. Once the Skaar galaxy was cleaned up, his outstanding achievements would be enough for him to take a big step up in Grenisu.

Besides, if you want to cultivate your own underground forces, it will be a very suitable place.

It's just that the only person who is ashamed is his closest person now.

Lin Xiaoming didn't know how to speak to Lu Jinchao, until now he couldn't delay any longer. He was leaving early in the morning the day after tomorrow, which was the same as the previous six months. Due to the confidentiality of the mission, he couldn't contact Lu Jinchao.

It is really leaving like disappearing.

Qishuo came to Lu Jinchao's feet, the thick pads made no sound when walking, and rubbed his head against the guide's leg, Lu Jinchao focused on the virtual screen, although his brain could no longer understand the meaning of the words.

After a long time, he turned around and looked at the sentinel at the door: "When are you leaving?"

"Early the day after tomorrow."

"I see." Lu Jinchao stood up with a calm expression, "Get ready to rest."

He was about to go to the bathroom, but Lin Xiaoming stopped him with his body at the door, Lu Jin turned his head, and the two looked at each other.

There was peace in those amber eyes.

Lin Xiaoming: ……………

He knew that Lu Jinchao was uncomfortable, and he might cry or force a smile, but in any case, it was better than the current calmness. Lu Jinchao's real reaction made Lin Xiaoming panic involuntarily, and he was more nervous than when he faced the most difficult enemy. Be at a loss.

"sorry."

"There's no need to say sorry, this is your job." Lu Jin put his hands on Lin Xiaoming's shoulders and said softly, "I'm going to wash up, and we can rest when we get back."

He squeezed sideways past the sentry, entered the bathroom, and closed the door.

Alone in the bathroom, Lu Jin leaned his back against the door, took a deep breath, resisted the urge to cry, and then exhaled slowly and tremblingly.

The choking in his throat made it difficult to swallow. He raised his head and stayed silently for a while before he raised his hand to wipe away the silent tears streaming down his face, came to the sink, turned on the tap and wiped his face.

Lu Jinchao got his mood together and came out of the bathroom. Lin Xiaoming was sitting by the bed waiting for him.

The redness in the corners of the guide's eyes that had not faded was instantly captured by his sharp vision, and his voice was imperceptibly nasal, but when facing Lin Xiaoming, Lu Jinchao was still as calm as possible.

He didn't want Lin Xiaoming to feel bad because of his reluctance.

I also don't want to be the existence that binds Lin Xiaoming's hands and feet.

As soon as he lay down, Qi Shuo eagerly came over, as if he also knew about the upcoming departure, and seized the time to enjoy Lu Jinchao's embrace, but this time the guide who would gently caress him gently pushed him away.

Lu Jinchao grabbed Lin Xiaoming's hand and pulled it: "Come on, let's talk for a while."

Lin Xiaoming lay down next to Lu Jinchao, and the surrounding was very quiet. He could clearly hear the sound of vehicles passing by on the street outside. After a while, Lu Jinchao asked, "When did you know you were going to leave?"

"More than a month ago."

Lu Jinchao counted the days, and it was not long after they came back from the fifth star field to search for the Holy Family. At that time, the laboratory was invaded. It seemed that he was in a bad mood during that time, and Lin Xiaoming didn't dare to tell him.

But because of this, there is no sense of urgency to count the days of parting every day.

Lu Jinchao: "...It will take a long time to go this time."

"I know." In his previous life, Lin Xiaoming had nothing to worry about, and it was really nothing to spend a year or two on a certain task, but now he has someone he cares about, and the task means parting, "I will come back as soon as possible of."

"That's not what I mean. The most important thing is your own safety. Don't come back and take risks for something."

"it is good."

The two of them stopped talking for a while. Lin Xiaoming heard Lu Jinchao's breathing, which was heavier than usual. He held Lu Jinchao's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't be sad."

"It's easy to say, how can it not be sad?" Lu Jinchao sniffed, and finally couldn't help it anymore. He was already an adult, and he knew that there would be too many partings in life, and he had experienced the hardships of his adoptive parents. Passed away one after another.

He thought he was strong enough to accept the separation, but he was still defeated by Lin Xiaoming.

"Don't be sad because of this. This is your life. You are the absolute protagonist. I am just a supporting role in your story. Just like everyone else, it only occupies a period of time in your life."

Lin Xiaoming's voice was very soft, and it rang in Lu Jinchao's ear: "No matter how long the drama is, no matter how important the supporting role is, there will always be times when the supporting characters will leave the stage. The most exciting stories will always be created by the protagonist, even if I'm not around in the future." By your side, you must also live a good life—”

"...No. It's not like that."

Lu Jinchao finally couldn't hold it anymore, his tear glands completely lost control when he heard Lin Xiaoming say "he's just a supporting role", tears ran across the bridge of his nose, passed through the other eye, and finally landed on the pillow, leaving behind silent tears Dark water marks.

"You are not a supporting role." He choked his throat until his throat hurt, and his voice was hoarse. "What I want is a story that belongs to the two of us, and no one should be a supporting role."

He doesn't understand why Lin Xiaoming thinks this way, is it because they don't share enough things together?The four years of being with each other, the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys we have experienced together, how can it be summed up in a supporting role?

Or did Xiao Ming know that this mission was very dangerous, and he didn't want to worry about him too much, so he deliberately wanted to put a distance between the two of them?

No matter which one it is, it is so... unacceptable.

Once the tears were opened, I couldn't hold back any more, all the emotions came to my heart, Lu Jinchao was crying so hard that he soon wet the pillow towel, and he was sobbing uncontrollably.

Lin Xiaoming didn't know what to do now. He originally wanted to comfort Lu Jinchao, but the result seemed to be counterproductive.

"Don't cry." Lin Xiaoming hugged him, and comforted Lu Jinchao strangely. His callused palms gently wiped away the tears on Lu Jinchao's face, which soon became wet.

I saw Lu Jin shed tears even more fiercely.

A hearty cry is enough to completely vent out the confusion and depression of the past few months.

The Holy Family who knows the coordinates but can't reach them, the neurological experiment that is blocked, E7 who is always in danger, needs to seize power in the check and balance with Margali, and friends who don't know if they will stand on their side...

There are too many things in front of Lu Jinchao, he wants to deal with them one by one, but everything is intertwined.Conspiracies and calculations, obviously what he hated the most before, have now become his weapons to deal with the future and danger.

Lin Xiaoming could only watch him cry, and kept handing tissues to Lu Jinchao, maybe... Maybe it's a good thing to vent out.

While I am still there, while there are still people I can rely on, I can release the pressure on my body a little bit.

He once also doubted whether it was a good thing to bring Lu Jinchao to the center of this vortex of disputes. Lu Jinchao's personality was more suitable for a peaceful life.

But as the situation developed, Lin Xiaoming realized that he had done nothing wrong. Lu Jinchao had that kind of ability, and his outstanding talent that had been buried for too long was gradually revealed.

Just as he inspired his talent that had been silent for too long to awaken and become a guide, Lin Xiaoming also wanted to see Lu Jinchao by his side, stepping up to the god-level step by step.

It's been a long time since Lu Jinchao cried so recklessly. The last time he cried until his brain lacked oxygen was when his adoptive father passed away. During that time, he almost lost his ability to think and completely became like a walking dead. But within a few days, he was rising Lin Xiaoming was found seriously injured by the river.

When people are sad and desperate, they still need something to divert their attention.

Once Lin Xiaoming took him away from pain, but now it has become another source of pain for him.

This is what the two of them have to face. He has his own path and hope, and Lin Xiaoming also has his own career. Although he has never opened up about it, Lu Jinchao knows that Sentinel has great ambitions and clear goals from the beginning. Everything Lin Xiaoming does is for the goal in his heart.

"I'm fine." Lu Jin took a deep breath, suppressed his tears and sobs, took the paper from Lin Xiaoming and blew his nose vigorously, his nasal voice became much lighter:

"Don't worry about dealing with your affairs, I'll wait for you to come back at home."

……

September 9.Lin Xiaoming left.

You don't need to carry luggage to perform the mission, and you can't even say goodbye at the star station. Lu Jinchao stood at the entrance and bid farewell to Lin Xiaoming with a long hug and kiss.

He gave Lin Xiaoming the bottle of toilet water-flavored wizard perfume that he never used again, so that he could use it if the sentinel missed him or was in danger of going berserk.

Although he is not by Lin Xiaoming's side, Lu Jinchao still hopes that he can fulfill his responsibility as Lin Xiaoming's guide.

After sending Lin Xiaoming away, Lu Jinchao sat alone on the sofa for a while, then went straight out to the laboratory.

As usual, I didn't get home until evening.

With the voice of E7 in his ear, he was not too lonely. Lu Jinchao was changing his shoes at the door. Seeing the slippers Lin Xiaoming had put in the innermost part of the shoe cabinet, he paused. The Freya amethyst with snow leopard pattern on his chest The pendant dangled in the air.

Before Lin Xiaoming left, they exchanged pendants. Lu Jinchao was wearing a snow leopard, while Lin Xiaoming was wearing a white falcon. They carried each other's spiritual bodies with them, as if they had never been separated.

Lu Jinchao returned to the bedroom, with a thick stack of books in his hand. In today's extremely advanced electronic equipment, Lu Jinchao still has a bookcase in the room.

On the wall directly opposite the table was a framed picture containing an unremarkable herbarium.

The little rabbit woven with dogtail grass in Lin Xiaoming Park was made into a specimen by Lu Jinchao and hung on the wall before it dried up.

Plants wither, memories fade, beauty fades, and he commemorates those memories by freezing time in the form of specimens.

Lu Jinchao opened the thick book at hand. It was actually a photo album. After getting busy, he took few photos, but he left a lot of photos on the spaceship that came to Capital Star and in the first year of school.

He flipped through the photo album, and there were scenes and people in it, but he couldn't find any photos about Lin Xiaoming until the end.

In many photos, Lin Xiaoming was behind the camera with him. Lu Jinchao remembered that he wanted to secretly take pictures of Lin Xiaoming many times, but every time he was discovered by the sentry before he succeeded. That one.

Besides, he didn't have any other photos of Lin Xiaoming for four years, and it was only at this moment that Lu Jinchao suddenly realized that Lin Xiaoming would habitually hide from the camera.

Except for the commemorative photos kept at the graduation ceremony, Lin Xiaoming basically did not leave any images.

When is this a habit left behind?

Lu Jin frowned, most people wouldn't do this, even Ludwig, who is currently working in the military, didn't have a similar habit.

Moreover, Lin Xiaoming's method of avoiding the camera is very superb. Lu Jinchao flipped through the photos in the student union member space on social software, and found that even Lin Xiaoming's face in the group photo was covered, and he never showed his full face.

He came to the bedside and took the framed photo of his adoptive parents and his family in the drawer. On the back was the picture of Lin Xiaoming, who was only a teenager at that time, taken in the spaceship lounge.

This may be the only photo of Lin Xiaoming in my hand.

Seeing him staring at Lin Xiaoming's photo in a daze, E7 thought he was missing the sentinel, and tried to make Lu Jinchao relax with a gag: "What's the matter? It's only been a day since you left and you started thinking about your dear sentinel?"

"It's okay." Lu Jinchao put down the photo frame and put aside his guesses for the time being. Xiao Ming had already left, and there was no way to verify his thoughts, so don't put stones in your heart.

The laboratory was intruded and destroyed by unknown personnel, and everyone became more vigilant. The lost results were quickly recovered, but the hundreds of brains in the secret organ regeneration laboratory could never be restored.

Lu Jinchao's secret base was emptied, and only the various seasonings for brain teasing that E7 had encouraged others to bring were still stored in the cabinet.

After a long talk with Lu Jinchao, Wen Rongxi asked other people to share Lu Jinchao's functions in the team. Now, although Lu Jinchao is still within the scope of the core staff and knows all the progress and details, he is not responsible for the main tasks. Research.

The secret spiritual power research cannot be put on hold, and he needs to worry about the tower, and the contact with several friends of the big family cannot be broken, which makes Lu Jinchao very short of time.

Not to mention that under Wen Rongxi's recommendation, he also joined the Science Council.

Lu Jinchao can't wait to divide himself into two, or to awaken the talent of not needing to sleep. After becoming a guide, because of the use of mental power, his average sleep time is about one or two hours longer than before.

Nearly a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and I was so busy that I didn't have time to think about it. Now the chief guide of the tower, Ms. Hallett, finally returned to the capital after several months of sanctuary inspections. star.

That day, Lu Jinchao specially asked for leave from the laboratory, came to the White Tower, and had just reached the third floor when he ran into Ms. Hallett head-on.

And the flattering Dora Arkwright by her side.

Harriet was the last guide who cracked the Mimi Meow Meow card in the training simulation of Sentry Academy 15 years ago. She is 36 years old this year. Ten is about to become a marshal.

She is not tall, and her long brown curly hair is well maintained. Time has left faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but it has not damaged her beauty. Harriet's personality is like most guides, gentle and delicate.

Lu Jinchao had met her several times before, Harriet stopped and smiled at Lu Jinchao: "Mr. Lu, long time no see."

"Ms. Hallett, Ms. Arkwright." Lu Jin greeted them. He had a good impression of Hallett. In the past few years as the chief, she has been busy, visiting sanctuaries around the world, improving the An educational environment for Awakened Guides.

Compared with Harriet's gentleness, Dora Arkwright is far less friendly. When Lu Jinchao came to the tower for the first time to rate, she looked down on the old awakened guide, but she was almost caught by Lu Jinchao's spirit for violating the rules. After that, Lu Jinchao became the introducer under the introduction of Margaret, whom she hated the most, and after meeting only twice, they tied the knot.

"Mr. Lu's reaction when he saw the chief?" Dora sneered, "Did you really feel that you can sit on an equal footing with the chief after being called out for a long time to come?"

"Nothing, I just think Ms. Hallett might not want me to give her a deliberate flattering smile." Lu Jinchao really didn't bother to pay attention to Dora, he nodded to Harry, and said, "I still have something to do, I'll go first."

According to the rules in the tower, no matter what the situation is, there is always only one chief guide. Since the moment Lu Jinchao was called the future chief, it has shown that he has a competitive relationship with Harriet.

Lu Jinchao and Harriet are strictly the same age, and there is no possibility of inheritance. As long as Lu Jinchao wants to become the chief, he must challenge Harriet.

This is also the main purpose of Lu Jinchao's visit this time.

When he came to the introducer's office, Margali was there too, facing the virtual screen, not knowing what to do.

Lu Jinchao tidied up the documents in the desk drawer, and asked casually, "Two years have passed, how is our progress?"

Margali raised her head, knowing that he was referring to the Dawn Project, and said softly: "The current power is not enough. The current powers in the tower are veteran guides. Those old antiques cannot be easily shaken. We need more allies. You can't act rashly before you are fully prepared."

"Two years sounds like a long time, but for a big project, it's just the beginning stage. We have to hold our breath."

Lu Jinchao nodded. Sure enough, Margali didn't do anything. The so-called stopping Liming Project was just a pretense to lure him into the group.

"I see. Since you still need some time to prepare, leave it to me first."

Margali completely stopped her movements: "Leave it to you?"

"I just met Ms. Hallett." Lu Jinchao locked the desk again, he never placed any important documents in the tower, "When did Dora come to her side again?"

"Her? It's not like you don't know that whoever has a high status and power will sharpen his head and get close to him." Margaret paused, "You want to..."

"Ah."

"How sure are you?"

"Let's be half-hearted. I still don't know the strength of the chief." Lu Jinchao said as he fiddled with the plants Margaret took care of by the windowsill, "But it's better to try than to do nothing."
