Brave cats, save the boss

"Your Majesty, regarding the expansion of the Zerg habitat to the border of the Empire..."

"Your Majesty, this is the first quarter financial report of each star..."

"Your Majesty, a small number of survivors of the Dragonscale Clan have requested to join the Empire..."

In the palace chamber, countless newly promoted officials made statements one by one about the affairs that need to be handled by the emperor within a day.Everyone thought that the matter they reported was the most urgent, and they looked at the emperor in fine clothes on the throne with fiery eyes.

"Your Majesty, I—"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please first..."

The originally well-ordered chamber gradually began to quarrel.

The emperor sat on the throne, looking at the chandelier in the hall, as if the newly replaced crystal lamp was so charming that he couldn't take his eyes off.

He seemed to have just recovered, coughed lightly, and turned to the only person in the chamber who hadn't spoken.

"Lord Protector, what's your opinion?"

The noisy officials suddenly fell silent, as if seeing a cat or a mouse, they dared not move again, and quietly looked at the person standing at the front of the meeting hall.

He was dressed in a pitch-black military uniform, with thick gold epaulettes and cuff buttons, and countless military medals hung on his chest.

He is always tall and straight, he is the most unshakable fortress of the empire, the last line of defense of the empire, and the true emperor in the hearts of countless imperial people.

Yan Changqiu said calmly, "Look at Your Majesty."

Feeney, who was recently crowned emperor, was almost driven crazy by the endless work every day.

God knows that he is just a dandy who likes to eat, drink and have fun. Although he has private soldiers, it is only for the sake of not losing his life in the battle for the throne.

At first, he hoped that Yan Changqiu would be the protector of the country and save the face of the royal family, just so that he could still have a good life with rich clothes and fine food. In fact, he didn't want to interfere in political affairs at all.

On the day of Yan Changqiu's triumphant return, the flowers presented by the citizens of Dixing almost flooded the entire city.

They cheered, but others noticed the vacant space next to the limousine.

Yan Changqiu and Xiao Hongdou went to the battlefield together, but they were alone when they returned home.

He is an extremely human minister, and his fame is enough to easily take off the throne, and there will be no one around him who can stand by his side.

Standing alone on the limousine, he raised his hand to pick up a fresh flower petal as before, and placed it gently by his side.

But this time, there will not be that dazzling young man holding the petals and interlocking his fingers.

The petals slowly fell from the air, and soon the wind blew to the feet of a member of the guard of honor.

With victorious smiles on their faces, their footsteps clanged, and flower petals were twisted into the soles of their shoes and ground into dust.

Yan Changqiu looked at the wreckage with empty and helpless eyes.

When the army entered the palace, everyone celebrated on social media, and someone even called Yan Changqiu "Your Majesty".

One day later, the emperor announced his abdication, and his successor was not Yan Changqiu, as expected, but his second son, Fei Ni.

Yan Changqiu became the only protector of the empire from then until the end of future time.

There is no longer a deputy marshal in the military department, but only the protector of the country.

The man in black military uniform has become the most powerful uncrowned king in the empire.

Feeney looked at Yan Changqiu and felt a sudden headache. He raised his hand to dismiss the meeting, leaving Yan Changqiu alone.

Yan Changqiu stood with his hands behind his back, what he held was not a weapon, but a small wool felt.

"Lord Protector." Finny sighed, "I regret it."

Yan Changqiu looked at him quietly.

"Why don't you want to be crowned emperor?" Finny was puzzled, "It's just a coronation ceremony."

Crewe stood aside with his head bowed, eager to speak.

He knows why.

Because the person Yan Changqiu wanted to meet at the coronation ceremony was already...

Yan Changqiu said: "Your Majesty should pay more attention to government affairs."

A word that was neither salty nor weak made Finny smile bitterly again and again.

"Master Protector, what do you think about the Zerg race?"

Yan Changqiu suddenly squeezed the wool felt tightly, then let go of it as if he was burned, and hurriedly raised it to his eyes, seeing that it was not deformed, he exhaled, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He touched Little Wool Felt's ears carefully, and said, "Kill them all."

Finny shuddered at the casual words.

Did Yan Changqiu... think the same about the instigator of the Dragonscale War?

At that time, all the nobles who concealed the military situation were killed, Zhou Ji was waiting to be shot, and the old emperor died on the hospital bed.

Feeney looked at the empty palace, feeling chills all over his body.

He stepped off the throne in a hurry, his loose robes scratched by the corner of the chair.

"Lord Protector, Lord Protector." He walked up to Yan Changqiu and begged bitterly, "I really don't want to be emperor, please."

The attendants dared not look up.I dare not see an emperor beseeching the protector of the country so humbly.

Yan Changqiu no longer had the slightest smile on his face. He put the little wool felt in his pocket and put it away, looking at Fei Ni quietly with his dark eyes.

Finny shuddered.

The dragon scale on Yan Changqiu's forehead has never faded, like a proof of some kind of animal nature.

Silently warn everyone that the person in front of you is no longer Yan Changqiu who is dedicated to the empire.

It is a wild beast that has lost its lover, it will go berserk at any time, and it will drag the world into the abyss and destroy it.

Feeney shook his head quickly, and said with a forced smile: "I will be a good emperor, don't worry, Lord Protector."

Yan Changqiu nodded slightly, turned and left.

His back is still straight, but Finny just saw a lonely goshawk who lost contact with his lover. The once warm nest became a tomb that imprisoned his soul. The only thing he can do is to live in the lover's house. Wails hovered in the sky.

Crewe looked in the rearview mirror and said, "Mrs. Liqi has gone home."

At some point, Crewe no longer referred to Yan Changqiu's mansion as the Marshal's mansion, but "home".

Realizing this, he sighed silently in his heart.

Home is not a house, a place with family is called home.

In less than a year, Yan Changqiu had a family with a splendid life, but fate played a big joke with Yan Changqiu again.

Give and take.

Yan Changqiu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why is my aunt here?"

"Yes..." Crewe couldn't bear to speak, and said, "You ordered...the coronation dress before going to the battlefield."

Yan Changqiu looked at the gray-white sky and said, "Yes."

The atmosphere in the car was oppressive, Krue silently sent Yan Changqiu home, and opened the door for him.

"Xiao Yan." Mrs. Li Qi smiled softly, came forward, looked him up and down, and said distressedly, "You've lost weight."

Yan Changqiu shook his head, "No."

"Don't believe me." Li Qi put her arms around his arm and went to the living room, "You will know when you come to try on the clothes."

Her assistant is hanging up a platinum gown and steaming the wrinkles.

"look."

Li Qi motioned him to stand up straight, took off her dress and gestured to Yan Changqiu, "You're thinner."

Yan Changqiu looked at the hanger. After taking off the coronation dress, it was empty, and there was no other set of clothes that should have appeared.

He was silent.

Li Qi restrained her smile, a slight sadness appeared on her face.

"Another set of clothes... I have someone put it in your cloakroom." She said softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing Yan Changqiu, "When you want to see...you can go there again."

Yan Changqiu nodded silently.

Li Qi sat for a while, unable to face Yan Changqiu directly, forced a smile to say goodbye and left.

As soon as she went out, tears could not stop falling from her eyes.

"Xiaoyan is such a good child, why just..." She wiped away her tears, but she couldn't do anything, "Why can't she be happy forever?"

His parents didn't love him, and everyone who loves him now was once full of contempt.

And the child who loved him wholeheartedly, but...

Crue looked at Yan Changqiu's invisible hunched back, couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice, "I'll help you... hang it up."

Yan Changqiu looked at the clothes hanger that was as tall as himself, and raised his hand to touch the epaulettes.

Kittens will love the fringed epaulettes.

"Yan Changqiu! The clothes are so beautiful!"

The kitten waved its paws, hooked the epaulettes and hugged it in its arms, looked at him with moist and clear eyes, and said, "Let me play with this."

"Yeah." Yan Changqiu couldn't hold back his smile, and said, "But it's not allowed to tear it down during the coronation ceremony."

"You know, I'm not stupid."

"Annoying!"

"I want ice cream, something sweet."

"You take a bite too?"

The kitten turned around and smiled, "Your Majesty."

"Lord Protector..."

Yan Changqiu was struck by lightning.

Crewe called him in a low voice: "Lord Protector."

He is not His Majesty.

His kittens never crowned him.

They never had a world-famous wedding.

"Put it away." Yan Changqiu's voice was so hoarse that it was hard to distinguish.

There was pain in Crewe's eyes.

Eternal suffering, unable to escape.

Crewe put away the gown with his head down, and went upstairs to put it away.

Yan Changqiu looked at the empty home, and his eyes fell on the newly bought refrigerator.

He stepped over and leaned over to open the drawer.

The neat ice cream is still inside and has not been touched.

"Little red bean."

He took out a red bean flavored one, tore off the packaging casually, and lowered his head to take a bite.

So sweet.

so bitter.

The red beans melted into sweet sand in the mouth.

Suddenly there was a messy sound on the second floor, as if someone had knocked over a bunch of hangers.

Yan Changqiu's expression froze, and he said angrily in a low voice, "Krew!"

The cloakroom is full of clothes he bought for the kitten!

Yan Changqiu strode upstairs, an out-of-control golden glow appeared in his eyes.

"Yuan, marshal."

Crewe stood at the door of the cloakroom, his calm face full of bewilderment.

Holding the dress in his hand, he said blankly, "In, inside!"

Yan Changqiu waved him away, pushed the door open and entered.

Crewe swallowed his saliva, drew out the knife and gestured at his arm a few times, "I'm not fucking dreaming, am I..."

"Meow!"

"Ice cream!"

"Give it to me!"

Crewe looked at the dress in his hand and suddenly grinned.

The little white shadow threw itself on Yan Changqiu's body, hugged his wrist with four claws, and stretched his neck to lick the ice cream.

Yan Changqiu was stiff all over.

He looked at the kitten, and also drew out the knife, but he moved so fast that he really cut his arm.

"Meow! What are you doing!"

The kitten's beard was still stained with cream, and it was shaking, obviously frightened by Yan Changqiu's sudden actions.

"Little red bean?"

Yan Changqiu spoke like a goose.

Xiaohongdou hugged his arm and gently licked away the blood stains, "Idiot."

The cat suddenly turned into a boy wearing only Yan Changqiu's loose shirt, and hugged him tightly.

"Fool."

"Fool."

The melted ice cream dripped from Yan Changqiu's hand, and it all fell on the kitten.

The young man let out a low cry, his fingers curled up in ice, and he shrank towards Yan Changqiu's body, "Idiot, put it away quickly!"

"Kitten? Kitten?"

Yan Changqiu couldn't listen at all.

Xiao Hongdou rolled her eyes, grabbed Yan Changqiu's hand and swallowed the ice cream in one gulp.

"Huhu." The kitten panted, "It's so cold."

He licked the cream on his lips, exhaled through the frozen red tip of his tongue, "Hurry up and wash your hands."

The sticky cone fell to the ground.

The kitten was pressed against the wall, and the scorching kiss almost swallowed him.

"Well……"

Xiao Hongdou curled her lips into a smile, put her arms around Yan Changqiu's neck, and kissed back even harder.

This ice cream is really sweet.

The smell of milk and red beans almost stained Yan Changqiu's heart with sweetness.

"I said……"

Lips and teeth depend on each other, and the heartbeat is the same.

Dry lips become moist in a kiss.

"In the vast sea of ​​stars, we will definitely, definitely meet again."

The author has something to say:

Finally finished!This chapter started writing at less than seven o'clock in the morning. There are Yan Changqiu's coronation, modern reunion, coronation airborne kittens, and many reunions with big scenes... But after writing, I always feel that something is missing.

Will Yan Changqiu really be crowned in Xiaohongdou's absence?Is Xiao Hongdou really willing to stay silently in the modern world and not look for Yan Changqiu?Are lovers really willing to wait?

So at the end of writing, it became the most ordinary morning, the most familiar home, the most ordinary ice cream and kisses.

This is the reunion between them.
