The days seem to have returned to the peace of the past. Even after Wuhe, which had been stalemate with the empire for many years, was breached in one fell swoop, the empire was in a rare period of peace without war. One celebration after another.

And because of Lu Xiuyuan's outstanding contribution in this battle, his military rank soared, and his future was boundless for a while. Few people in the entire empire could match him.

Today's royal family seems to have no real power, but they can clearly control the every move of most people in the empire with their masterminds firmly in their hands, so few people dare to make any crooked thoughts.

Cheng Chen was dizzy from the dazzling lights at the celebration banquet, so he put down his wine glass and went outside the hall to breathe. The cool night breeze blowing along the corridor dispelled a lot of stuffiness.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Lu Xiuyuan quickly followed, standing a foot behind Cheng Chen, trying to wrap his arms around his waist, hanging in mid-air for a while, then put it down again.

"Well, a little bit." Cheng Chen nodded, closing his eyes to feel the cold wind blowing on his face.

"Then let's go back." Lu Xiuyuan said without hesitation.

"No, I'll just go back by myself." Cheng Chen shook his head lightly, opened his eyes and let out a breath, turned around and walked out.

"I'll take you back." This time, Lu Xiuyuan directly stepped forward and put his arms around Cheng Chen's waist, saying that he could not refuse.

"Are you free recently? You always follow me and never leave." Cheng Chen frowned, and turned his head to look at Lu Xiuyuan in the dark night.

Lu Xiuyuan paused, opened his mouth, and took a while to think about his words: "You're not in a good mood recently, I'm worried..."

"I just want to be alone." Cheng Chen calmly interrupted Lu Xiuyuan, broke away from his palm around his waist, took a deep breath, looked at him seriously and said, "Lu Xiuyuan, what Let me have some space, let me think about it."

After speaking, he walked forward without looking back, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Behind him, Lu Xiuyuan stopped at the same spot, maintaining an awkward posture, motionless. The street lamps of the palace stretched his figure and landed on the bluestone floor, but he followed after a while.

……

If there is any difference in ordinary days, it is that the old acquaintance An Ge has returned. He is like a bard, always running around, living the life Cheng Chen wanted to some extent, Of course, this is except that he goes to public places to make a big talk from time to time, Cheng Chen is not always full of passion like him.

However, An Ge, who came back this time, seemed to have smoothed out a lot of edges and corners. When Cheng Chen saw him, he was sitting on the floor bored, leaning against the corner to read a book. The first sentence he said when he saw Cheng Chen was : "I want to leave here forever, do you want to go with me?"

Cheng Chen said, "Okay."

……

Sleeping on the soft mattress under his body made Cheng Chen feel a little sore in his back. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep soundly. He exhaled helplessly, lifted the quilt, and wanted to get out of bed and go for a walk. Unfortunately, his feet hadn't touched the ground yet, and there was a lot of pain in his waist. A hand pulled him back.

Cheng Chen was dragged back to the pillow by a force, and he turned his head helplessly and asked Lu Xiuyuan, "What are you doing?"

"Don't go." Lu Xiuyuan hugged him tighter into his arms, bit Cheng Chen's ear, and said softly.

"I just couldn't sleep and wanted to take a walk in the yard." Cheng Chen explained.

"You're lying to me." Lu Xiuyuan looked at Cheng Chen quietly, and calmly stated the truth: "I heard you and your friend's decision."

Cheng Chen turned his head, didn't look at him again, and just said: "I really just want to go for a walk in the yard, now, I didn't lie to you."

"After that, do you still have to leave?" Lu Xiuyuan stroked the broken hair around Cheng Chen's ear and asked.

"Don't go." Cheng Chen said without blinking.

Lu Xiuyuan kissed the back of Cheng Chen's head, and sighed softly, "Don't lie to me, Cheng Cheng."

"So what's the matter if I lied to you? Haven't you lied to me too often?" Cheng Chen suddenly raised his voice, and turned his head to stare at Lu Xiuyuan's eyes, which were slightly red.

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned, and wanted to raise his hand to touch Cheng Chen's head to appease his sudden agitation, but Cheng Chen avoided him, so he had to look at the hand hanging awkwardly in mid-air, and after a while let go.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at Cheng Chen, and after thinking for a while, he explained: "I didn't follow you to find your elder brother..."

"Well, I know." Cheng Chen interrupted Lu Xiuyuan before he finished speaking. In fact, Cheng Chen already knew that he had misunderstood him.

Lu Xiuyuan froze for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Then...why are you still angry with me?"

"I'm not angry." Cheng Chen turned his head, got off the bed with his arms around his waist, and said flatly: "From your standpoint, even if you did it, there is nothing wrong with it. You also saved my life, or you will rebel against me." I'm afraid I'm going to be sentenced to death like my elder brother, so what capital do I have to get angry with you."

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and said, "That's not the case."

"I'm just tired of the constant surveillance of the mastermind in this world. I want to go to a place farther away. Maybe it's dangerous there, or there may be a place where there is a race that is completely different from the Zerg, and its structure and origin are similar to ours. It’s different. Maybe I’ll never find that place, or maybe I’ll spend my whole life floating in the boundless universe. It’s better than this prison-like place, which is suffocating. I’d rather choose dangerous freedom than be under pervasive surveillance. Control your life like breeding." Cheng Chen said while bending down to put on his shoes, before Lu Xiuyuan could answer, he got up and changed the subject, and said to him, "I'm leaving, let's go to the yard to blow some air."

Lu Xiuyuan sat up beside the bed and asked Cheng Chen, "Can I go with you?"

"No." Cheng Chen refused.

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes darkened.

"But I can't stop you, the legs are on your body." Cheng Chen added.

In the end, Lu Xiuyuan stayed with Cheng Chen in the yard for most of the night before going back. The two chatted a lot as usual on the way, including the scene when Cheng Chen fought with other children when he was young and was reprimanded by his father and then begged by Lu Xiuyuan. Cheng Chen laughed. , Did you say yes, I don’t remember why, the atmosphere was so harmonious that it seemed that everything after that had never happened.

……

Before leaving, Cheng Chen returned to Cheng's house, ready to say goodbye to Guan Ziyu.

"I'm leaving." Cheng Chen said to Guan Ziyu who was lying on his side on the bed.

"Where are you going?" Guan Ziyu asked calmly, looking out the window with Cheng Chen on his back.

"I don't know, whatever, the universe is so big, you can go and see it anywhere."

"With Lu Xiuyuan?"

This time Cheng Chen was silent and did not answer.

"Forget it, this has always been what you wanted to do." Guan Ziyu sighed, turned and got off the bed, the chains on his ankles made a slight sound as he moved.

"The thing left to Cheng Heming before, you can keep it for yourself, here is another copy for you." Guan Ziyu took out a document from the locked cabinet and handed it to Cheng Chen.

"Also, take those two children with you." Before Cheng Chen left, Guan Ziyu said again.

Cheng Chen nodded, opened the door and walked out.

……

However, something went wrong in the plan at the end, An Ge made a video call to him and said to him: "I'm not leaving, you should pay attention to safety on the road."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Chen asked him a little strangely after he had just comforted the two crying babies and put them in the crib in the back seat.

"An He is dead." An Ge said calmly.

Cheng Chen paused for a moment before realizing that this was his restless younger brother. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "I'm sorry, my condolences."

"You can leave at ease. The checkpoints on the road have been dealt with as we planned before, but I suddenly don't want to just leave..." An Ge continued: "There are more things waiting in this world. Let me do it..."

Cheng Chen was silent for a while, then said, "Then I'm leaving, goodbye."

"Goodbye." An Ge hung up the call.

Cheng Chen suddenly felt powerless and lonely. He opened a song and planned to listen to it quietly. Unfortunately, he was dissatisfied after switching several capitals. Finally, he turned off the audio, started the spaceship, and took two babies with him. Embark on an unknown journey.

On the empty interstellar channel, the spacecraft has entered the autopilot mode, and it is moving forward smoothly all the way. Just when the next jump valve is approaching, a strange small starship suddenly appears in the route. Cheng Chen Clicking on the monitoring screen, he frowned and stared at the starship for a while.

You must know that he chose a remote route to avoid accidents. After all, he is alone with a son and two babies, so he is the best target for robbery.

The other party seemed to be aiming at him, and rushed straight in his direction.

Cheng Chen frowned, turned on all the combat equipment on the spacecraft, and entered the first-level alert mode.

But when the menacing opponent approached him, he gradually slowed down, and finally paralleled Cheng Chen's spaceship, and handed him a connecting ladder.

Cheng Chen breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the other party was not malicious, but he didn't want to open the hatch to let the other party in, so as not to cause more trouble.

But the other party persisted in lightly bumping Cheng Chen's hatch with the tail end of the connecting ladder.

A bad premonition rose in Cheng Chen's mind, and he tentatively opened the hatch, allowing the other party's connecting ladder to come up.

Sure enough, in the next second, Lu Xiuyuan came out from the connecting ladder, took off his hat, and smiled at Cheng Chen: "Don't leave me, I'll be with you wherever you want to go."

"Don't you want those military ranks, status, wealth, and wars?" Cheng Chen asked him.

"I only want those things for you, how could you be more important." Lu Xiuyuan stepped forward, leaned over Cheng Chen who was in the driver's seat, kissed his cheek, and said softly.

Cheng Chen smiled, hooked his neck, kissed his lips, bent his eyebrows, and said, "Oh, then let's go, to that distant and unknown place."

Lu Xiuyuan hooked Cheng Chen's ten fingers, held them tightly, and lowered his head to deepen the kiss.

Cheng Chen raised their tightly clasped hands, and said amusedly, "What are you doing so tightly, my hands are blue from being strangled."

"I just don't want to let you go." Lu Xiuyuan looked into Cheng Chen's eyes and said seriously and firmly.

"Okay, don't let go." Cheng Chen laughed out loud.

The spaceship accelerated and started, hidden into the vast universe, and headed for the distant unknown, but extremely romantic distance.
