    Restless Star③

    Finier’s reading continued.

    Lu Rong looked at Fenier through the gap in the bookshelf. He did not dare to move too much for fear of alarming the vigilant Fenier. He could only see a hand resting on the pages of his notebook. The hand was thin, but the joints were full and strong. It used to be the hand that held the gun. Now he was gently turning over his notebook, holding his memories in his palm.

    Like a voyeur filled with voyeurism, Lu Rong stared at the hand for a long time. When he came to his senses, he found that the hand was resting on the page of the book defenselessly. It had not moved for a long time, and there was no sound of reading in the library. He quietly groped around the bookshelves and found the sleeping Fenier deep in the jungle-like bookshelf.

    Fenier did not use his wheelchair – after he could walk very far intermittently, he abandoned the wheelchair completely and walked around with only the gemstone scepter. At this moment, he was sitting on the ground, leaning against the skylight window, and fell asleep leaning against the transparent window. The scepter was placed on the ground behind him. The luster of the gemstone was bright and eye-catching, but not as good as the vast starry sky outside. Fenier slept between the starry sky and the sea of ​​books, and had a small world.

    The notebook was still in his hand. Lu Rong walked over, squatted down, and put away the notebook gently. He squatted in the starlight and looked at Finier’s sleeping face.

    During this period of time, he came back rarely. During his absence, Fenier seemed to have gained a little weight, his cheeks were fuller than before, his cheekbones were less abrupt, and his temperament also seemed softer. He felt much better when he was hugged on the bed, and he was even more non-aggressive when sleeping, like a beautiful gem placed in a decorative box.

    Lu Rong’s heart softened inexplicably because of this gem sleeping in the starry sky. He picked up Fenier who was sleeping on the ground more softly, and walked softly to the bed. The lights behind him went out as he moved away. When the library returned to darkness, Fenier was placed on the soft bed.

    Being carried all the way finally triggered Fenier’s long-abandoned vigilance, but not much. He woke up hazily and saw Lürong very close to him. In his hazy sight just after waking up, Rürong was like a silhouette of a god, beautiful and beautiful, with a gentle and reassuring warm halo.

    He couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or reality, so he subconsciously said, “Lü…Rong…”

    Lu Rong suddenly paused and lowered his head to meet Feinier’s gaze. The name he called unconsciously caused Lu Rong’s thinking to pause briefly. A piece of his neat and rigorous reason was poached and turned into butter on the fire. It instantly became shapeless. But before Lu Rong could respond, Feinier closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

    The light in the room was as dim as ten thousand years of starlight, and it was difficult for Lu Rong to move a step. He looked at the sleeping Fenier, and the emotions passing through his heart were like a sea of ​​treacherous clouds. He could not catch any of them, but every strand made him speechless.

    He didn’t know what was wrong with him, and he might know it, but he wasn’t sure. He thought of Asta again, his star, if his star was malfunctioning, he would fix it.There is a wavering emotion in his heart that he cannot grasp, and he will also figure out what it is.

    With such entangled thoughts, Lu Rong slept fitfully all night. He got up early in the morning. He leaned on the chair in the office area and dealt with the trivial matters reported by Ni Yin. From time to time, he distractedly glanced at Fenier to see if he was awake.

    X01 was assisting Lu Rong, but because Lu Rong would stop whenever he was distracted, he would pause from time to time and follow Lu Rong’s gaze to look at Finier.

    X01: “He recovered very quickly, and it feels like he will be able to consider the next step of treatment soon.”

    “Next step?” Lu Rong was a little stunned.

    What are the next steps in treatment?

    Wash off the marks, cut out the glands, and get out of here?Lu Rong frowned, he instinctively didn’t like this answer.

    X01: “I heard Dr. Shen say that day that he can already try some light combat sports, and the support strength of the exoskeleton is also reducing. The exoskeleton can be completely removed in the next stage.”

    Lu Rong: “…This is what you are talking about.”

    X01: “Otherwise, what else?”

    Lu Rong frowned and put his hands on the armrests of the chair, tapping irritably without rhythm.

    Almost two or three hours later, Fenier turned over, and Lürong knew that he was awake. He put down what he was doing, pretended to get up by chance, and walked out of the partition.

    Fenier had already sat up from the bed and was adjusting the quilt on the bed. Lurong passed by him inadvertently and said, “Morning.”

    Fenier stood beside the bed and nodded to Lu Rong in response.

    Lu Rong:?

    He thought Finier would share with him that he could talk.

    Not getting a verbal response, and standing awkwardly, Lu Rong strolled to the weeping crabapple with confusion, pretending to water it, and prepared to prune the branches and leaves.This jasmine plant has become more and more lush, with small white flowers falling on the slender branches. The floral fragrance is elegant and refreshing.

    Lu Rong fiddled with the branches, and belatedly realized a problem. When Feinier called his name last night, he was so sleepy that Feinier might not remember it.And Fenier seemed to be able to talk a lot intermittently in the library yesterday. It was definitely not the first day he could talk, but he never revealed that he could talk in front of him, so was he deliberately not saying it?

    Why?

    He was distracted for a while, and suddenly heard a click. He looked down and saw that one of the lush branches and leaves of the jasmine had been accidentally cut off by him. He felt a little confused and uneasy.

    After Fenier washed up, he sat at the table as usual, knowing nothing about his exposure. He ate a carefully selected breakfast. The content was very boring and there was nothing new every day. But the scene of today’s meal was different. Lu Rong sat opposite him, with a sprig of jasmine in front of him, staring at him without saying a word.

    Seeing Feinier chewing his food carefully, Lu Rong abruptly interrupted Feinier’s eating progress bar: “We will arrive at Water Source in a few days.”

    Fenier stopped eating.

    He hasn’t told Lu Rong exactly where the star core is, how to get there, and how to get it. He really has to explain and arrange these things. This matter can’t be explained in a sentence or two.

    Lu Rong also thought of this, so he mentioned it deliberately. He thought that Fenier would explain it out loud, but Fenier didn’t even have the intention to speak. He picked up the optical computer and wrote without hesitation: “Cape Ikanos.”

    Finier has recovered a lot from his nerve damage, his pen control ability has improved, and his handwriting is much better-looking, elegant and sharp, just like him.

    Cape Ikanos is a bay cliff on Suiyuan. Lu Rong has some impressions. He remembers that under the cape is an abyss, which is the deepest trench on Suiyuan and the mermaid’s cemetery. Ordinary people cannot easily go there.

    Lu Rong suddenly understood the reason why the Alliance did not get these star cores. Based on the relationship between the Alliance and the orc tribe, even if the Alliance were allowed to land, they would not be allowed to get close to their own graveyard.

    Fenier then wrote the precise longitude and latitude after the place name, and began to write some notes, including the specific location, depth, and items that needed to be prepared.

    At first, Rürong thought he was just making a list, but when he saw Finier starting to write about where he could stay temporarily and get food there, Rürong finally felt something was wrong, and he held down Finier’s hand as he wrote rapidly.

    “You will also go together, and there is a place to stay.” Lu Rong said.

    Fenier looked at him blankly, forgetting to react for a moment.

    He thought it would be better for him to stay on the starship, as there would be no risk of being exposed and he would not be found. Although he could disguise his appearance, taking him off the ship was a risky move no matter what.Orcs can identify each other by smell, and the probability of him being discovered is too high.From Lu Rong’s point of view, it was best to keep him, and he was willing to accept this arrangement.

    Doesn’t Lurong think so?

    Lu Rong took back his hand, “Do you think I will leave you on Lutes? – and won’t let you go anywhere?”

    Lu Rong asked very straightforwardly, and Fenier was stuck. He didn’t have time to write to deny it immediately, or he couldn’t write fast enough to deny it. The best way was to say no immediately, but he didn’t speak, so Lu Rong sinisterly acquiesced that his answer was yes, and he turned cold.

    By the time Finier finished writing “It’s not,” the atmosphere had become subtle.

    Fenier put down his pen and observed Lürong’s worried expression, realizing that his acquiescence was unfair to Lürong, as if he thought the other party was bad or calculating.If Lu Rong was good at calculating and avoiding risks, he would not have saved him in the first place.If Yul Rong is bad, it could be another Yoon Kwang who will try his best to extract his memories.

    At least so far, apart from the fact that he couldn’t walk too far, Rürong had never restricted his movements.Whether he can’t go too far or doesn’t want to go too far is his own problem, not Lurong’s.

    While Lu Rong was busy solving the Broken Star Gravitation Core Furnace, he got up one day and found that the smart permissions of the room were opened for him. Luctes’ map was unfolded in front of him. He walked to the bedroom door, and the door opened automatically after recognizing his face and pupils.

    The passage outside the door was empty and quiet, with no passers-by. It seemed that he could go straight ahead and go anywhere on the Leutes.This starship, which was extremely mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, even had the highest level of confidentiality and detailed map displayed in front of him at this moment.

    He had passed through many doors in his life, and he never felt that he needed to consider anything when entering or exiting a door, but the door leaving Lu Rong’s bedroom made him hesitate.

    He carries the pheromone aura of Rürong, and no matter where he appears, it seems to easily lead to unnecessary messages… or scandals. What impact will these have?Such thoughts may seem unnecessary, but they will appear in his mind uncontrollably.Moreover, if he appears in the crowd and is identified, and the news that Lu Rong took him away leaks out, Lu Rong will inevitably conflict with the alliance, and the consequences may be even more disastrous.

    So, even though the door was opened for him, he still stepped back.

    If you have nothing to give to someone who has nothing, at least don’t cause trouble to others.

    Moreover, he felt that it was good to stay in Lu Rong’s room. He lacked nothing. There was a doctor to treat him, and Lu Rong provided him with pheromones. He only needed to work hard to recover, and he didn’t need to think about anything else. There were no politics, no wars, and no orders. Everything in the past was far away from him. He no longer had to care about the things he had needed to care about since he was born. The tight strings finally relaxed. To him, this bedroom was like an impeccable fortress, which allowed him to live again.

    But at this moment, the idea of ​​”not causing trouble to others” became inexplicably out of date. Fenier didn’t know why. The behavioral pattern of overthinking, careful planning, and avoiding trouble that had allowed him to survive in the past was causing trouble now. From another perspective, it appeared that he was overthinking and maliciously speculating.

    He saw Lu Rong start to feel guilty quite frankly, so guilty that an uncomfortable bluish white began to appear on his face, of course he didn’t know it himself.

    Lu Rong could see that Feinier was guilty and uncomfortable, but he didn’t expose it because he couldn’t help but feel guilty after asking what he just said. He didn’t think about anything when the words came out of his mouth, but after saying that, Lu Rong found a trace of expectation slipping through his mind, as if this was not bad – he could stay with Feinier every day and do nothing else but do the only thing.

    Lu Rong was startled by his own thoughts and wondered whether he was going into a susceptible period or was driven crazy by the treatment that he couldn’t fully enjoy.

    He didn’t know why. He seemed to be eager for Fenier’s body. It was not just the temptation of pheromones. It seemed that from the first time they met, when he didn’t smell Fenier’s pheromones, he could not help but be attracted. The beautiful and elegant body that sank in the treatment cabin dominated all his senses, stripping away his human flesh and blood, leaving only a naked skeleton, without any reason.

    Lu Rong took a few deep breaths to adjust his emotions back. He noticed that there were some communication problems between him and Fenier. They needed to cross this communication gap. After careful consideration, he chose to say bluntly: “I heard you calling my name last night.”

    “What-” Fenier paused after speaking briefly, shocked and panic-stricken.

    Lu Rong couldn’t stop talking, and Fenier was shocked when he heard it. He didn’t remember that he had the habit of talking in his sleep.

    There was a brief silence in the room. Fenier’s shocked expression pleased Lu Rong, and a smile appeared on his face, “I thought you would tell me this morning that you could speak, but you didn’t.”

    He spoke calmly, directly, and seemed a little aggrieved, making Finier feel a sense of guilt at a loss.

    “But it doesn’t matter,” Lu Rong said generously. He mentioned the guilt that floated in Fenier’s heart and continued, “I hope you will answer me in the next conversation with your own mouth instead of writing it by hand.”

    Fenier subconsciously wanted to nod, but Lu Rong’s eyes darkened when he looked at him. Fenier realized something, paused for a few seconds, and replied: “Okay.”
