Chapter 52 Gifts
Chapter 52 Gifts
All the way home, Quint was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all. He wasn't used to wearing this outfit, but when he was with Hyperion, all the discomfort disappeared without a trace.He calmed down on the sofa for a while, rubbed his face that was almost stiff from laughing, ordered the smart home system to put hot water, and got up to take a shower.
Raising his hand to wipe off the mist on the mirror, Quint carefully looked at the person in front of him. His appearance has not changed much since then, but his temperament has changed a lot, with less shyness and more calmness.
Having seen too many Omegas, he knew that he was not top-notch good-looking, and he was even worse than Connor and that little Beta Colin.
Quint came out of the bathroom wiping his hair, wearing nothing but a bathrobe tied loosely around his waist.He walked to the living room and saw the extra things on the table at a glance.
It was a dark velvet box.
Quint's heart suddenly jumped wildly, he quickly put down the towel, walked to the table and reached out to pick up the box.
When and how this thing suddenly appeared in his house, he didn't know.But he could vaguely guess that this was something that Hyperion would give him every year.
Sitting down at the table, he stared at the box for a while before making all the mental preparations to open it.
There was a sealed envelope in the box, and Quint opened it with a saber from a small drawer.
His hands were shaking a little, and a piece of paper fell out of it when he tried to take out the contents.
Quint took a few deep breaths to tell himself to calm down, bent down to pick it up, and unfolded it.
It was an AO combination application form with yellowed edges, and his and Hyperion's names were carefully filled in.
He was familiar with the handwriting, it was Hyperion's.
The moment Quint saw the application form, he froze on the chair and did not move for a long time.
After a while, he raised his hand to cover his face, whimpered, and couldn't hold back his tears.
On that snowy night 20 years ago, when he heard the news that Hyperion was about to go on an expedition, he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the dormitory, along the snow-covered path, to the lake on the back mountain of the college.
When he arrived out of breath, Hyperion was standing by the lake with his back facing him, his back was desolate and lonely.A thick layer of ice formed on the surface of the water, reflecting the dim light. Alpha is wearing a black military uniform, with an armband on his arm that symbolizes the commander of the expeditionary army.
Quint wanted to call him out, but somehow his throat was choked and he couldn't make a sound.He dragged his heavy legs step by step, the snow under his feet creaked and creaked.
Hearing the sound, Hyperion turned his head, his figure was against the light and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.Seeing Kunt stumbling towards him, he took a big step forward and stretched out his arms to hug him tightly.
He hugged him so hard that Quint was strangled so hard that he couldn't breathe.Quint originally put his hands on Hyperion's shoulders, a snowflake fell on his eyelashes, he blinked, and slowly wrapped his arms around Hyperion's neck.
"I'm leaving, Quint." Hyperion's voice trembled a little, and there was an uncontrollable pain in it: "I'm leaving."
Three months ago, Etes launched a surprise attack on Zhumingsha, and all of Quint's family members died in this war.Losing all his relatives in one fell swoop, Hyperion could hardly imagine how devastated Quint would be. He had been on the front line, and after hearing the news, he could only comfort him through video calls. Quint was fairly calm when talking to him, but Hyperion knew that he just didn't want to make him worry.
And now, he finally had the opportunity to meet Quint in person, but he wanted to say goodbye to him.
Quint didn't speak, but raised his head vigorously, almost biting Hyperion's lips.
The hard medals on Hyperion's military uniforms were stuck firmly on their chests.It was a kiss full of blood, until Quint couldn't stand still, and Hyperion separated from him, half-embracing and half-embracing him to sit on the snow-fallen bench by the lake.
There was heavy snow, neither of them had an umbrella, and the top of their heads soon turned white.Hyperion was about to unbutton his jacket, but Quint raised his hand to stop him, his voice hoarse: "Don't wrinkle your military uniform."
Hyperion didn't listen to him, unbuttoned his military jacket, and put it on Quint's shoulders.Just like the assessment in the cave on Valen star, he hugged Quint tightly and warmed him with his own body temperature.
He had accumulated too many comforting words in his heart, but he couldn't say a single one at this time.The tragic disaster befalls Quint unexpectedly. He was the only one who could comfort him, but now, even he is leaving.
He didn't know how long he was going to go, whether he could come back alive to fulfill the promises he made when he and Quint clasped their fingers together.
and so--
"Let's break up."
Thousands of thoughts were smoldering in his heart, and only this sentence was left in his throat, as if bloody, he heard his own voice clearly, and his heart was empty in an instant.
Quint's eyelashes trembled, tears welled up in an instant and he forced them back. He clenched his fist tightly, and his nails almost pierced his palm.
"it is good."
Afterwards, the two of them didn't say a word, they sat close to each other by the lake in the heavy snow all night, until the sky faintly shone with light.
Hyperion originally thought that Quint would cry, but he didn't, his whole body was so calm that Hyperion felt scared, like the sea before a storm, and he didn't know when to violently set off huge waves.
The snow is much lighter, and the thick clouds are illuminated by the sun that has not yet exposed the horizon, showing a depressing but beautiful blue.
It was Quint who was the first to break the calm. He took off Hyperion's clothes from his shoulders, stood up, carefully shook off the snow on them, put them on again for him, buttoned the top button, adjusted the collar, and dusted off the clothes. Every fold in the flat fabric.
Hyperion kept staring down at him.After finishing all this, Quent took two steps back, carefully looked at Hyperion from head to toe, and confirmed that the collar, badge, cuffs, and even every strand of hair were rigorous and decent, before he raised his head and said softly: "Go Bar."
"I'm leaving." Finally, Hyperion kissed Quint's forehead with nostalgia, closed his eyes, turned around, took a step, and walked on the road to Carlos Airport alone.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he will lead tens of millions of soldiers of the empire to set off from Carlos Airport, carrying the hope of hundreds of millions of citizens to the vast universe. Rescued from the clutches.
Putting down the AO combination application form in his hand, Quint took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe away the uncontrollable tears, smiled into the air, and looked at the love letter that also arrived on time this year.
Dear Quint:
Spread the letter good.
How are you doing this year?I'm fine here, please don't worry about me.
With a different mood every time, I have written this opening twenty times in a blink of an eye, but in all fairness, I hope this will be the last time.
I don’t want to force everything to be fine in front of you anymore. It’s as urgent as when I saw a model I liked in the window when I was a child. I hope you can hold me in your heart all the time, just like I care about you, care about you. follow my every move.
Quint was still reading word by word seriously at first, but the speed became faster as he got to the back, so that it was close to ten lines at a glance.
When he saw the last sentence, he stood up suddenly, dropped everything in his hand and ran to the door, and opened the door with trembling hands.
Hyperion stood outside the door and had already put on formal clothes. The moment his eyes met, Quent saw in his eyes what he had been longing for for 20 years—that love that was as clear and transparent as ever, never deteriorated. .
Hyperion raised his hand to wipe the corners of Quint's reddened eyes, with a gentle smile on his lips that almost drowned him, and whispered, "Why are you crying again? Am I so scary?"
【Watching Hyperion go farther and farther, leaving a series of straight footprints on the snow, Quint could no longer restrain the emotions that surged in his heart so much that it almost broke him, and ran towards him.
He bumped his head against Hyperion's back, hugged his waist tightly with both hands, buried his face in his shoulders, whimpered, and screamed with all his strength: "Take me away! Hyperion, please take me away!" Bar!"】
Kunt shook his head, put his arms around Hyperion's strong waist, looked up at him, and asked softly, "How did you sneak things into my house?"
【"Impossible Quint, that's too dangerous, I just want you to be safe." Hyperion turned around hard-heartedly, the snow under his feet was too thick to stand, and he was suddenly dragged by the almost crazy Quint fell to the ground.
In a panic, he put his hands next to Kunt's ears, but did not press down firmly.Kunt suddenly tore off his clothes with both hands like crazy, and the buttons jumped into the snow, revealing his chest that was violently heaving with his breathing. The bright color was like two flowers blooming in the snow, standing upright in the cold wind .
His eyes were full of despair, and he desperately pressed Hyperion's head down. Even a beggar who is as low as dust would not cry hysterically like him: "Then you want me! Please!" Don't leave me alone!"]
"This is a secret." Hyperion lowered his head slightly, and lightly touched the tip of Quint's nose with the tip of his nose. It was unclear who took the initiative first, and the two kissed together again unconsciously.Quint's straps were loosely tied, and his bathrobe slipped from his shoulders, stacked in layers at the crook of his elbows, exposing swaths of skin.
【"You'll freeze like this!" Hyperian ignored Quint's struggle and tightly closed his clothes.The black hair of the person below him was messy and scattered in the snow, panting with slightly parted lips, Hyperion didn't dare to look him in the eyes, he was too afraid that it would instantly destroy the line of defense he was holding on to.
He repeatedly kissed Quint on the cheek, on the forehead, on the lips, and on the uncollared neck, which was completely exposed to him.The sky was getting brighter, and there was not much time left for him. He finally bit Quint's lips hard, and the wound that had just healed was broken again, and the blood dripped on the snow, which was a bit dazzling.
"do not wait for me."
The voice was dispersed in the wind and snow, Hyperion got up, never looked at Quint again, and walked away quickly without looking back. 】
The voice-activated light at the door went off naturally to remind the two of them. With their lips parted, Hyperion took out a small velvet box from his suit pocket, took out the ring, and lowered his head to put it on for Quint.
Quint leaned in his arms, watching Hyperion push the ring with expensive star sand on his third knuckle: "You don't even know if I want to, so why did you put it on for me?"
【Quint lay down for a long time before he got up in embarrassment. Hyperion had already gone far away. He watched his lover's figure completely disappear from the end of his sight. He tremblingly took out the application form he had already written from his pocket.
He originally wanted to surprise Hyperion.
But now, this table is useless.
The snow blew into his eyes, and warm liquid flowed out of them, and he hated himself from the bottom of his heart for the way he couldn't stop crying, like a pitiful person who was abandoned.
Quint wiped his face indiscriminately, grabbed both sides of the paper, and tore the application form to shreds. The pieces of paper were like fragile butterflies, flying in the wind and dying. 】
"You are willing to open this door and come out to see me, doesn't that explain everything?" Hyperian looked at the ring on Quint's left hand with satisfaction, and it was as suitable as he imagined: "You want me to learn from ancient times?" Did you kneel down on one knee and ask you like in the age of the earth?"
[Hyberian raised his face, no one saw the tears streaming down his cheeks, he had never cried since he was sensible, this strange feeling for a long time almost emptied his heart, just It seemed that instead of tears, he shed blood.
But the pace of his departure is still firm and steady, without the slightest wavering. He is the only general the new emperor can trust at present, shouldering the future of the empire and the lives of hundreds of millions of people. All his emotions are insignificant in front of this.
It's just that he was destined to fail Quint.
It was time to fulfill his responsibilities as Morse.He walked out of the back mountain, and the adjutant he had personally selected was waiting for him by the aircraft. The adjutant gave him a silent hug, and the two boarded the aircraft and headed for Carlos Airport. 】
"No, that's enough."
The past and reality finally meet at this moment, Quint hooked his neck, stood on tiptoe and sent himself to Hyperion's lips again, Hyperion carried him into the room, and the door slammed shut behind them , Not long after, there were intermittent indistinct sounds in the house.
Nightingale, who was temporarily perched on the window sill of the bedroom, listened for a while, but was suddenly disturbed by a suppressed scream, and flew away with flapping wings.Xiangyue Er was quietly shining in the night sky, and the little Xiangyue San was by her side, sprinkling silver-white brilliance to the earth.
The huge retro clock on the Empire State Building slowly struck twelve, and a new day came quietly.
The author has something to say: all the things expanded with 【】 in the text are memories of the past
It's really hard to write the feeling in my heart...
Tomorrow, I'll see if I can steal the manuscript of Mrs. Three Thousand Urban Management and the Zerg
Hmm... After reading it, you will know that [Escape] has not been fully marked.
