Engage

At two or three o'clock in the morning, the light under the grape trellis went out.

Lying on the bed with the steam from the bathroom, Qi Lian just pulled the quilt, a soft arm was put around his waist, and a little weight was attached to his back: "What did Dad say?"

Qi Lian sighed quietly: "I really can't hide anything from you."

"I woke up as soon as you left." Jiang Ran muttered, rubbing the back of Qi Lian's neck, with a hint of coquettishness: "I'm used to sleeping with you, what can I do?"

In fact, it's not entirely because of this reason. When the mental strength reaches a high level, it will become very sensitive to what happens around it, and even the slightest disturbance will disturb Jiang Ran.Now Jiang Ran has just passed this threshold, and has not yet learned how to control that overly sensitive mental power, so of course he will be awakened by Qi Lian's departure.

As it got closer, Jiang Ran smelled a scent that Qi Lian didn't often smell, she raised her head suspiciously, leaned over to sniff like a small animal, and then smiled and said, "Are you drinking? "

Even though it has been washed, does it still smell?Such a thought flashed through Qi Lian's mind, and he admitted it: "Yes, Dad was drinking when he drank a little."

Jiang Ran chuckled: "It sounds like something he would do."

"Ran" In the dark night, Qi Lian's voice seemed muffled, as if something was stuck in her throat, Jiang Ran had a bad premonition, she suddenly tightened the hand holding Qi Lian, a little sad Authentic: "Is it because he still doesn't want to leave?"

Qi Lian nodded.Jiang Ran noticed her movements, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

If A Lian can't persuade him, then he really can't persuade him.

As if sensing her sadness, Qi Lian turned around and hugged her, the refreshing mint aroma wrapped her up, a woman who loves to clean just took another bath, this scent with water vapor is very good He smelled it, but there was still a slight smell of wine: "He saw it very clearly and was very firm. He didn't want to leave the Federation. He told me that people can't leave their homeland easily, because once they leave, it will be difficult for them to return to their roots. Difficult."

"What about me? Doesn't he miss me? Isn't my departure a departure? Didn't he have no objection to my departure? "

Jiang Ran's nose was a little sour, probably because of the emotion left by the original owner.

"Burning."

Qi Lian's soft call made Jiang Ran hold back her tears, she didn't speak for a while, and then suddenly said: "Is there really no other way?"

Qi Lian hesitated for a moment, then nodded honestly.

She even used the means of "deception", but Dad Jiang was not fooled, and she had no other choice.In fact, that sentence mainly touched her.

He said that Jiang Ran's mother's grave is here, so he wants to accompany her here.

"Ran, Dad, he lives here very happily. There are his career, friends he has known for many years, the scenery he likes, and there are too many things he can't let go of. And the most important thing is, I think He might want to stay here with your mother."

"Mother?"

Jiang Ran was startled, his mind went blank.

In fact, in the memory of the original owner, Mama Jiang did not exist.Because her mother died when she was very young, it can be said that she was completely raised by her father.

Therefore, although her father always likes to mention her mother to her, to be honest, the original owner does not have that much affection for her mother in her heart, especially when she sees that other children have fathers and mothers, but she only has one When my father was preoccupied with mine affairs.

Want to stay with mom?

Jiang Ran suddenly remembered something.Because her mother was not buried in Edge Star, her father would go back twice a year, one for her mother's birthday and one for her death, without interruption.

When Jiang Ran was a child, she didn't understand. She asked her father why he made such a fuss and why he didn't move his mother's grave over here.At that time, her father just said very gently: "Because Dad doesn't want to disturb your mother's sweet dreams."

Jiang Ran was seven or eight years old at that time, seven or eight years had passed since his wife passed away, but when Jiang's father mentioned her mother, the emotion in his eyes was still hot and sincere, like a teenager.

That Jiang Ran didn't understand, but this Jiang Ran understood.She also sighed: "I think it's too ideal."

In the future she described to her father, there was her, Qi Lian, and the future, but without her mother, strictly speaking, there was nothing about the Federation.Even, because the imperial dialect is too similar to her hometown dialect, she has a vague fondness for the imperial dialect.

After all, she was a foreigner, and she hadn't developed any particularly strong feelings for the Federation. As for her mother, the elder who didn't have much weight in the original owner's memory, she naturally ignored her.

She still thinks too simple.Yes, she can leave the Federation without any burden, but her father can't, because his father is a native of the Federation, a patriot who will celebrate with people on the streets when the Zerg is defeated, and a wife who loves him people.

So he doesn't go.

"You are not wrong." Qi Lian rubbed her head, and suddenly said: "I admire him very much."

"Who do you admire? My dad?"

Qi Lian nodded, and there was a little bit of drunkenness in his dark eyes: "He is so pure."

"purely?"

"Yeah, pure. Generally, at his age, it is actually the time when a person's ambition is the strongest, especially a man. He must be clear that returning to the empire with us means not only losing but also gaining, but he doesn't have any This is actually not easy. Because for many people, if they can get extremely powerful just by leaving their hometown, they will leave without hesitation."

Jiang Ran gave her a white look: "My dad just doesn't have any ambitions. If he had been ambitious, he wouldn't have fallen out with my grandpa and suffered so much. He just has a bit of a stubborn temper. I'm also a bit stubborn about this stubborn temper now." It’s a lesson.”

As she spoke, she looked furious, but Qi Lian knew that this was exactly what she had figured out.Sure enough, Jiang Ran said in the next moment: "If you don't leave, don't leave. Communication is so convenient now, I just need to chat with him often."

Qi Lian smiled, Jiang Ran hooked her neck at this time, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, you ran to help me persuade my dad at such a late hour."

"What hard work, aren't you my daughter-in-law? Isn't he my father?"

"Yes, you are right. You have to bear the hard work. Who told you that this is your daughter-in-law's business? My business is also your business. "

In the dark night, there were a few coquettish chuckles coming from Jiang Ran's side, exuding a refreshing and rascal taste, which made people's heart itch.

What is itching?

Of course, it was itching to "teach" this woman who spoke sweet and rascal words a good lesson.

"Hello, Ah Lian."

Before the thoughts in her heart were put into action, Qi Lian heard Jiang Ran call her softly again, and she hummed, quietly looking at the pretty face under the moonlight.

Jiang Ran came closer: "Dad's wine, is it good?"

Qi Lian thought of the pungent taste all of a sudden, and said pitifully: "It's too strong, it burns my throat a bit."

"Really? I'll try it"

In the darkness, the lips of the two touched each other, and then parted gently. Qi Lian panted lightly, struggling, and said, "Where are there people who have washed themselves?"

"no yet?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Ran's breathing was also a little unsteady, she looked at Qi Lian with a dazed look, and leaned over again: "Then I—try something else."

Qi Lian was licked by her, and his face turned pink immediately, but his eyes became very bright, more beautiful than the stars outside the window.

Jiang Ran looked a little drunk, she pressed Qi Lian's shoulder, and licked her lips seductively: "It's delicious."

It's delicious, of course you have to eat more.

After staying in Edge Star for a full week, Jiang Ran and Qi Lian returned to Capital Star.Back this time, Jiang Ran took the time to pay homage to her mother, which was also a farewell.After her father found out, his eyes were a little moist, but of course he didn't shed tears in front of her, he just praised her twice in relief.

It's really like treating a little girl, yes, I'm afraid in Jiang Chan's eyes, even if Jiang Ran becomes the child's mother, she will still be the good girl who needs to be protected, right?

The handover with Qi Yan went smoothly. In February, Qi Lian and Jiang Ran officially set off to return to the empire.On the day they left, many people spontaneously came to see them off, and many emotional people even shed tears. Qi Yan saw this scene through the live broadcast, and felt a little touched in her heart.

The crown prince is gone, but her popularity here has not disappeared.She is lucky, because she is the only imperial proton who has been accepted and loved by the people of the Federation for hundreds of years, and her success is difficult to replicate. After her, the person who succeeds her still has to face The embarrassment faced by those old-timers in the past.

Just hope everything transitions smoothly.

Standing in the gorgeous new home with a glass of red wine, the Third Highness of the Empire, who had retired prematurely in the power struggle, looked at the handsome guards who came with her, silently prayed for herself, and then threw away the glass, saying yes The guard hooked his fingers.

On the other side, under the gaze of countless flashing lights and countless pairs of eyes, Qi Lian, Jiang Ran, and those subordinates who were going to return to China with Qi Lian this time entered the belly of a giant steel beast.

It was a spaceship.

Flying in space, small airships are naturally unusable. The Federation sent the military spaceship Pioneer to escort Qi Lian and the others away, showing enough sincerity, but it is this spaceship that claims to be equipped with the latest technology, but reveals the most fatal loophole.

It exploded.

After sailing away from the capital for three months, before even leaving the territory of the Federation, this spaceship, which was said to be able to reach a fleet, exploded into countless fragments and scattered in space.
