After being comforted by Jiang Jianming, Ryann’s emotions stabilized a lot, and the crazy pressure in his eyes also receded.
Just as Jiang Jianming was preparing to see how this person would operate the air vehicle, the Crown Prince suddenly grabbed his wrist and buckled the wrist device onto the intelligence interface of the air vehicle.
A second later, Seth was imported into it, and a series of “woof” characters excitedly appeared on the screen.
Jiang Jianming: “.…”
It was an operation that was unexpected yet made sense. Even if Ryann couldn’t speak for some reason now, he could still imagine a cold voice saying, “Dog, go operate the air vehicle.”
In this era, whether it was a wrist device, an air vehicle, or a virtual computer screen… any relatively high-tech tool would be equipped with an intelligence interface.
However, Seth was the highest-level military mecha brain, not an intelligence that ordinary people could get their hands on. To install it on a wrist device or let it operate an air vehicle or something, such absurd things could only be done by His Highness the Crown Prince.
This indirectly proved that the Ryann in front of him was indeed sober, not possessed by any evil entity, nor truly insane.
Since that was the case, there was no need to rush for the time being. Jiang Jianming finally relaxed the spirit he had been forcing up.
The air vehicle rose smoothly into the sky, flying towards the palace. He rested his head on Ryann’s crystal bone and closed his eyes.
Afterwards, the concept of time became blurred.
Half asleep and half awake, Jiang Jianming felt himself being moved and carried down from the air vehicle.
A breeze brushed his face, bringing a faint scent of roses, so he knew he had returned to the White Jade Palace.
It was very quiet all around.
Jiang Jianming wanted to wait and see what Ryann was going to do at this moment. But nothing special happened.
After returning, Ryann just wiped the cold sweat and blood from his face and hands, let him drink half a cup of warm water, took off his blood-stained outer clothes, and coaxed him to sleep for a while.
Jiang Jianming really nestled in the arms of this monster and slept. Thinking about it later, he was quite bold. He was usually calm and thoughtful, but at this moment, he didn’t leave any vigilance.
About an hour passed, Ryann gently woke him up, pried open his lips with a spoon, and fed a little bit of lean meat porridge into his mouth. This was just cooked by the round robots of the White Jade Palace following instructions.
…Jiang Jianming felt like he was feeding a bird, or rather, a little chick that was found frozen in the corner in the middle of winter.
He endured it, didn’t voice any objections, and managed to eat five or six bites, then leaned his head against Ryann’s chest and continued to sleep.
Feeling Jiang Jianming’s fatigue and resistance, Ryann didn’t dare to disturb him anymore. His deep green eyes looked down quietly. The patient in his arms had a weak but stable breath, and his complexion was slightly better.
Ryann took off his cloak and covered Jiang Jianming with it, then sat in front of the palace courtyard holding Jiang Jianming.
Looking up, there was the starry sky, looking down, there were roses.
They were sandwiched in the middle, with the long night and lights stretching out in front of them.
Until the night ended and the lights went out.
When Jiang Jianming’s consciousness woke up again, through his eyelids, he felt a faint natural light, warm and reassuring.
It was dawn.
Jiang Jianming opened his eyes and saw Ryann casting a faint gaze into the distance. His hair tips were glowing with a satin-like golden light, and his side face was outlined in the soft light of the fish belly white on the horizon.
He was resting his head on Ryann’s chest, his back was encircled in strong arms, the pain and other discomforts on his body had subsided by seven or eight points, but he was still a bit weak.
For some reason, at this time, these two lines suddenly appeared in Jiang Jianming’s mind:
Before the dawn of mankind,
Wake up in my arms.
Not far away, a gray sparrow flew diagonally across the low sky, the grass swayed, and the dawn was like water.
Ryann looked down at him. When this person calmed down, those emerald eyes were actually deep and vast, as if they were filled with countless lonely times.
This lost look made Jiang Jianming both surprised and dazed, and he was even more certain that something beyond common sense had definitely happened to this person.
“Your Highness, can you speak now?” He tilted his head in Ryann’s arms and cautiously handed over his wrist device, “Or, you can type.”
“What happened to you?”
Ryann looked at him seriously for a few seconds, slowly pushed the wrist device away, and reached out to hook his left front pocket.
Jiang Jianming’s back of the head went numb, and he looked at Ryann in astonishment.
He liked to keep important small things close to his body in this position, which was a personal habit.
He had told the little highness about it several years ago, and since then, this person liked to hook his pocket every now and then to see what good things were put there today.
But that was…before Ryann went to his death!
“You…” Jiang Jianming’s breathing became rapid, and he suddenly grabbed the Crown Prince’s wrist.
But the other party had already twisted out the thing in his pocket, a flash of light on it, it was a brass-colored cartridge case.
A smile appeared at the corner of Ryann’s mouth.
Jiang Jianming was taken aback and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Go back and throw it…cough, put it away. He thought to himself.
Ryann put the cartridge case back for him, his fingers probed into his collar, and skillfully hooked out the red gold crystal bone necklace.
The ring…
Wearing the ring as a necklace was also something that happened after His Highness left. Just now, this person should not have stripped his inner shirt…
Ryann lowered his head, unfastened the chain, took off the ring and put it on Jiang Jianming’s ring finger, and as if afraid that he would be angry and unwilling to wear it, he kissed his palm before letting go.
“You…” Jiang Jianming lost his voice.
Ryann held his hand in return, gazing at him deeply.
It seemed to say, –it’s me.
Jiang Jianming’s fingertips trembled violently, and his voice also unusually lost its stability, “Your Highness…!?”
“No, you are…” He suddenly shook his head, choking up.
“Are you, the real original Ryann Kaios?”
Joy burst from the depths of Ryann’s eyes, and he forcefully pulled Jiang Jianming into his arms.
–It’s me, it’s me…Ryann is me, “Garcia” is also me, I remember every moment I spent with you.
“You…”
Jiang Jianming turned his head away, biting his teeth sourly, as if he couldn’t bear it, he took a light breath.
Ryann quickly let go of him, then anxiously leaned in again. Seeing that Jiang Jianming didn’t show obvious resistance, he began to boldly hug and rub him, nuzzle his face, and finally gently kissed him.
Jiang Jianming just closed his eyes and avoided, trembling all over. He never thought it would be like this, that such a thing would happen…
For a moment, all kinds of emotions surged violently in his heart, as if he was about to drown in them.
He wanted to vent the grief and indignation of those years, to throw out a few sharp words coldly, but thinking of Ryann’s death, his heart ached like being cut with a knife;
He wanted to indulge himself and shed tears of joy while holding his lover, but thinking of Ryann and the emperor and others deceiving him for so long, thinking of his hardships over the years, he felt bitter and painful.
Thinking back to last night, half of his heart was filled with frustration, and he even wished he could slap this person awake.
What’s wrong with you, going crazy and self-harming and crying, I didn’t cry when you poked my heart like that, what are you crying for?
The other half, however, felt reluctant. When His Highness left, he was still a teenager. As the 000 of the Base Body project, he didn’t know how much hardship he had suffered in secret…
Suddenly, the memory returned to when he found him, but he was pointed at with a gun and scolded by him, and he couldn’t open his mouth to argue, watching himself get sick, how desperate must he be?
Jiang Jianming was pulled by conflicting emotions, dazed as if his soul had left his body, until Ryann kissed the corner of his lips did he come to his senses and pushed hard.
Unexpectedly, the patient was weak and didn’t push the other person away, but instead lost his balance and was about to fall down.
Ryann was startled, hastily reached out to catch him and pressed him into his arms, and the two of them rolled onto the ground together.
The new grass under the courtyard was lush, Jiang Jianming closed his eyes. He didn’t know if it was dew or rain on the grass leaves, it fell coolly on his eyebrows, eyelashes, fell on his throat and slid down the line of his collarbone into his collar, it was unbearably itchy.
After confirming that he was okay, Ryann leaned in again, propped his elbow on the ground, and leaned down to nuzzle him with his lips. Platinum curls fell, spread on the slender wrist of the non-crystal human.
Good heavens, he’s going crazy again, where did this golden lion come from… Jiang Jianming helplessly pushed, Ryann’s crystal bone came out again to entangle him, and his body also entangled him.
This was really itchy, the pale patient with black hair finally couldn’t help but laugh softly, like melting ice and snow.
The surroundings were gradually getting brighter and warmer. In this season, the temperature would rise quickly after dawn.
This was spring, dawn, and reunion after life and death. It was a perfect moment of time, even if it was known to be short-lived.
“…Ryann.”
Jiang Jianming tilted his head back and closed his eyes, an inexplicable impulse made him open his lips and tongue to meet the next kiss.
Never mind, never mind. He started to tremble, feeling his incompleteness being filled, and took a long breath in the gaps of the passionate kisses.
He murmured, “Your Highness, Ryann, did you come back to see me?”
“Then take me away, no matter where.”
When he opened his eyes again, his expression was solemn, “Didn’t you want to see my determination? Now you see it, take me away.”
Ryann seemed to be stunned for a moment, silently tensing his jaw, and another kind of stern majesty appeared on him at this time.
Jiang Jianming looked at his lover calmly, and realized in his heart that this person still had another period of time that he didn’t know about, a life that belonged to the original body.
In fact, if he had realized this point first, realizing that Ryann Kaios might have been the base body from the beginning, then with Jiang Jianming’s character, he would definitely have many concerns.
Would a person who might have lived decades ago, with the values of that time, despise disabled humans?
A core figure of the White Bird Project, and also the Crown Prince of the Empire, after having more life experiences, would he feel that his identity was too mismatched?
Most importantly, could he have had other lovers or even spouses?
Would his feelings for himself be diluted by the additional years?
But now, Ryann appeared in front of him in reality, and all doubts disappeared in those eager and persistent eyes.
Jiang Jianming leaned against his chest, and said with a sigh-like soft voice, “I don’t want to keep looking for you everywhere, I’m also very tired…”
“Or are you saying, I’m not qualified to follow you?” He asked seriously, “Is it because I still…”
He couldn’t finish his words, because Ryann suddenly acted up again, blocking his unfinished words with his lips, and kissed him as if venting his anger.
Jiang Jianming was so tormented by him that he couldn’t catch his breath, even suspecting that if this person went crazy for a while longer, he would stimulate further desires and take him on the spot.
If it really developed into that, he wouldn’t refuse.
But in the end, it didn’t happen. Obviously, Ryann was crazy, but not completely. After bullying him for a while, he rolled him up with his crystal bone and held him up to let him rest.
Jiang Jianming was both angry and amused. He tugged at his disheveled clothes, preparing to be serious and discuss this issue properly. Suddenly, he looked up and saw an air vehicle coming along the low altitude, turning from the curved path in front.
Jiang Jianming immediately recognized who the air vehicle belonged to, and he exclaimed, “Your Majesty?”
That was clearly the private air vehicle of Emperor Lin Ge.
He looked down at the time on his wrist device, and it was already the normal waking time for people.
Jiang Jianming quickly pushed away Ryann’s crystal bone, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and when the air vehicle stopped in front of him, he subconsciously sidestepped to block Ryann behind him.
In the morning light, the door of the air vehicle banged open, and Lin Ge stood there, panting heavily.
Jiang Jianming had never seen this emperor show such an out-of-control expression.
Lin Ge’s lips trembled, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few hoarse words.
“Is…is it you?”
She stared hard at Ryann Kaios behind Jiang Jianming, “Is it you?”
She approached step by step, her nose tip reddening, her expression seemed to want to laugh and cry, “Sylph told me…you’re back…do you still recognize me? I…”
Suddenly, Ryann stretched out his crystal bone from behind.
The incoherent female emperor was suddenly choked, she was dragged to Jiang Jianming’s front, almost falling face-first!
Ryann was expressionless, using the tip of his crystal bone, he lightly patted Lin Ge’s shoulder.
Lin Ge: “…I…”
The female emperor’s black hair was disheveled, and she was silent for a second.
Suddenly she burst into a curse. “Damn it!!”
Jiang Jianming held his forehead with his hand.
It was too complicated to explain, he simply couldn’t bear to look.
But at least one thing was confirmed, the interaction between Ryann’s original body and the emperor didn’t seem to be much kinder than it is now…
Ryann forcefully dragged Lin Ge forward again, Lin Ge was dragged over in a daze, and when she looked up to see Jiang Jianming’s pale face, she suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
“Mingming!? Did you just have an attack?”
She immediately became serious, reaching out to grab the young man in front of her. “Zhen will call for medical help, you go back to the room first.”
Jiang Jianming shook his head, calmly pointing at Ryann. “Your Majesty, this person seems to be unable to speak, can you tell me who he is?”
Lin Ge gritted her teeth. “We’ll talk about this later, Zhen will definitely tell you, go back to the room first, okay?”
The female emperor suddenly realized, her eyes widened, “He, he can’t speak?”
Jiang Jianming nodded, he was on tenterhooks for a moment, fearing that Lin Ge would burst out laughing and say something like “hahaha, you deserve it, you little bastard”…
Busy trying to explain the situation, a gust of wind swept over the three of them again.
Jiang Jianming looked up and was surprised. This time it wasn’t an air vehicle, it was actually a mecha falling directly towards them!
The mecha was pure black, belonging to the S-type, and the emblem of the Black Shark Base was engraved on the side wings, it was an unseen model.
The cockpit opened, and it was clearly the base leader who was driving personally.
There weren’t many people here anyway, the base leader took off her face shield, her silver hair was blown messy by the wind, she shouted loudly, “Your Majesty!!”
Lin Ge looked back in surprise, shouting back with her neck craned. “Why are you here? Are you looking for me for something urgent?”
But she saw the mecha make a flying spin and land, the base leader jumped down from the mecha before it had stabilized, rushed over in a flurry, and pushed Lin Ge aside with a slap. “Get out of the way, no one called you.”
Lin Ge: “???”
The base leader rushed towards Ryann and Jiang Jianming.
Lin Ge was raging behind her. “Sylph…Sylph! You little girl, I’ve been putting up with you for a long time!!”
The base leader seemed to have not heard, she quickly pulled Ryann’s crystal bone off Jiang Jianming.
She patted the red gold crystal bone with a heartache. “Your Majesty!”
She sighed deeply. “My Majesty!”
She shook Ryann’s shoulders forcefully, like shaking the big machine in the base. “The whole base is almost scared to death by you, do you want to live!?”
Ryann only changed his expression when Sylph shouted “Your Majesty” for the first time, he opened his mouth but it was too late to stop, now he just accepted it blankly.
It was still the female emperor who grabbed the base leader around her waist and dragged her back forcefully.
“Shut up, Sylph!” Lin Ge looked weird, glanced at Jiang Jianming, and whispered, “You’re done, your dear commander-in-chief doesn’t even know that the Crown Prince’s original body is…..anyway, you’re done.”
Sylph was stunned. “…?”
Lin Ge: “It’s said that the little bastard can’t speak, and nothing was said all night.”
Sylph’s face turned pale instantly.
Lin Ge pulled her. “You’re the one who blew it, anyway, you’re the one who blew it!”
In the midst of the chaos, Jiang Jianming’s head was buzzing from this inexplicable farce, he couldn’t help but press his temples, his face showing a bewildered expression.
He looked at Ryann slowly, and tentatively called out. “Cough, um….Your Majesty?”
