Chapter 98:

The levitator was still parked outside the side door of the classroom, and the people who came to watch outside the circular classroom did not mean to disperse.
After Duan Hengye went out, he raised his eyes and saw the black crowd, and then he was startled unprepared. Almost at the same time when Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai appeared here, there were uncontrollable screams outside the classroom. Upon seeing this, Meng Jinhuai did not directly board the levitator as he always did, but stopped there in a good mood and beckoned with the onlookers.
After the screams dissipated, Meng Jinhuai took Duan Hengye's hand, boarded the levitator in front of him, and then flew towards the starship.
As the protagonists of today's event that is destined to affect the future development of Interstellar, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai know better than onlookers what kind of impact the event will have on the entire Interstellar. Although Meng Jinhuai took the time to travel to Guangxing to pick up Duan Hengye, this does not mean that his task is easy. After boarding the starship, Meng Jinhuai went directly to the study and began to deal with the work related to today's press conference.
The distance between Duguangxing and the Southern Stars is neither far nor close. In normal times, Duan Hengye would basically choose to read professional documents or deal with school matters during this period. But today, after Meng Jinhuai left him to go to work, Duan Hengye felt a deep sense of exhaustion coming over him.
Duan Hengye sat in his study for a while, then walked to the lounge behind the study and slowly lay on the bed. Duan Hengye was calm in class today, but only he knew that he didn't fall asleep all night last night. Now when the big rock fell, fatigue from both physical and psychological aspects also appeared on him exponentially.
The windows in the lounge were automatically adjusted to opaque mode, and the room became dark all at once. Duan Heng lay on the bed at night, with his head lightly pressed against the corner of the vertical square pillow, his arms tightly hugging the other side. Although Duan Hengye is thin in stature, he is not short in height. Now that he is curled up into a ball, it is really pitiful from the side.
Under normal circumstances, Duan Hengye would return to his residence in Du Guangxing to rest every time after finishing class in An Luo, and then return to Nan Zhuxing or the research institute the next day. But because of today's press conference, Duan Hengye boarded the returning starship ahead of time, even before he had time to eat.
Not long after Duan Heng slept at night, the staff on the starship prepared the food and sent it to Meng Jinhuai. After seeing the things on the table, Meng Jinhuai, who had been busy working with his head down, finally moved his attention away from the light brain.
Meng Jinhuai stood up, then gently picked up the things on the table and walked toward Duan Hengye's office.
On this starship, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's office are in the same large suite. After the sensing device captured the information, when Meng Jinhuai was about to walk to the door, he opened the silver-white door, and then the Marshal Master discovered that Duan Hengye had a rare absence of work today.
Seeing this, Meng Jinhuai paused for a while, and gently put the things in his hands on the table, then couldn't help slowing down and walked towards the rest room hidden behind the office. As the hatch on the starship opened quietly, Meng Jinhuai saw Duan Hengye lying on his side. Although the mood has calmed down and is no longer nervous, Duan Hengye still frowned in his sleep.
Seeing this scene, Meng Jinhuai, who had already slowed down, walked toward the bed more carefully. He saw that because he was sleeping on his side with a pillow, most of Hengye's body was not covered by a quilt at this time.
At this time, Master Marshal's eyes were very gentle, and he slowly stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt piled behind Duan Hengye. Meng Jinhuai watched Duan Hengye again for a while, and then couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, only then slowed down again and walked out of the lounge.
After the hatch was closed again, Meng Jinhuai walked quickly back to Duan Hengye's desk. He picked up the things again and handed them to the staff standing outside the hatch. "Keep it at room temperature," Meng Jinhuai said.
Although he knew that the sound insulation on the starship was very good, after going out, Meng Jinhuai still couldn't help lowering his voice, as if he was afraid of noise to the people inside. This staff member standing outside the door was newly transferred to the starship, and the most he had seen before was Meng Jinhuai who worked in the military department.
In the minds of this staff member, Meng Jinhuai's image has always been tall, calm, and extremely deterrent. Now suddenly seeing Meng Jinhuai showing such a gentle side in private, the staff couldn't help but froze for a while, and then carefully took the things from Meng Jinhuai's hands and sent them to the side for room temperature preservation.
After a few hours, the starship landed steadily on the giant dock of the Southern Stars. It stands to reason that after Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai and others get off the starship, it will be sent to the warehouse, but today is different from usual.
Before leaving here to work, Meng Jinhuai specially left a part of the staff on the starship, and told them not to disturb Duan Hengye, and waited until he woke up before putting the starship into the warehouse.
...
Because the windows of the starship no longer transmit light, after waking up to see the dark scenery outside, Duan Hengye didn't even realize where he was right now. He was still a little confused and sat up on the bed, then rubbed his eyes and took the Guangnao beside him.
Now that several hours have passed since the press conference ended, Duan Hengye's optical brain received a lot of news, and even the specific figures could not be displayed. After taking a look at the time and the location marked on the light brain, Duan Hengye finally clicked on the detailed information.
It is also fortunate that Duan Hengye is currently using the highest level of optical brain on the interstellar, which is not stuck by these sudden messages. However, today's press conference has such a large amount of information that it was actually Duan Hengye's expectation that he would receive so much news.
After sitting upright, he stretched out his hand to press his eyebrows, and then Duan Hengye directly used the filtering function to delete the primary invalid messages and the things sent by unfamiliar people, and then he responded patiently one by one.
Most of the messages that were left were sent to him by Duan Hengye’s colleagues in the research institute. Although the information about Duan Hengye at the press conference today is enough to make an eight o’clock file, as Colleagues are most concerned about the topic of the new mecha. There are also special...For example, Su Mingge, who has become familiar with Duan Hengye, is "questioning" Duan Hengye in a very exaggerated tone why he didn't tell himself in advance about such a big thing.
Duan Hengye replied to those messages of congratulations, and by the way also joked with Su Mingge. At this moment, Duan Hengye's light brain received two special messages back and forth.
The senders are Duan Hengxing and Lan Jingchi.
During the treatment some time ago, Duan Hengye and Lan Jingchi met more than once. In Duan Hengye's eyes, Lan Jingchi became a lot more peaceful while becoming mature. I don't know what was affected by it, Lan Jingchi, a "twisting" boy, is also learning to gradually live in peace with the world.
Duan Hengye was a little surprised to see that Lan Jingchi sent a "long letter" to himself. Lan Jingchi didn't mention those past events. In the letter, apart from congratulating Duan Hengye on those achievements, he was like a kid who had just scored high in the exam and introduced Duan Hengye to the process of removing toxins from his body. Relying on several research results.
Although Duan Hengye didn't know much about fields other than mechas, there was nothing wrong with "a good doctor after a long illness". After this period of time, Duan Hengye was able to understand a little bit what Lan Jingchi was talking about. It can be seen that the results Lan Jingchi has achieved this time are really not small, and even enough to be written in a textbook of pharmacy.
In fact, Duan Hengye had already seen Lan Jingchi several times after the toxin was removed. But this time after receiving the long letter, Duan Hengye still habitually cared about the other party's life and recent studies. After coming and going, the two also talked a lot.
It was almost late at night on the planet Lan Jingchi was currently on, and after a few words, he was ready to go to rest. What made Duan Hengye surprised was that when he was leaving, Lan Jingchi suddenly sent a few short words to himself.
"See you next time, brother."
I have known each other for a while, and Lan Jingchi no longer speaks too politely as before, but he has always referred to Duan Hengye as "Professor Duan." This is Lan Jingchi once called Duan Hengye "Brother", it seems a bit abrupt, but this kind of sentence is called Duan Hengye feel that these short four words in front of him, perhaps Lan Jingji used it for a long time. Typed out.
"See you next time."
The text itself is cold, but the people who use the text endow it with emotion. Today, Duan Hengye’s light brain received a lot of news, but these two, which were the latest and most special, have a common feature. Both people used the same name for Duan Hengye, and that was "Brother".
I don't know why, Duan Hengxing sent a message to Duan Hengye only a few hours after the press conference. Unlike Lan Jingchi's long short essay just now, Duan Hengxing's message was very brief. He said, "Brother, can we meet?"
Duan Hengxing is a well-known star dude. His name and photos often appear in the corners of the Star Network Entertainment Edition. However, Duan Hengye discovered during this period that Duan Hengxing has suddenly changed since the last Star Pirate incident. Need to be extra low-key. In the past few months, Duan Hengxing was like a change of person. Not only did he no longer have a relationship with the entertainment circle, he even rarely participated in large-scale banquets in the upper empire.
Perhaps the term "being deep and simple" is more in line with Duan Hengxing's current state of life.
After receiving Duan Hengxing's news, Duan Hengye was a little surprised, but not very surprised.
"Okay." Duan Hengye came back like this. After a while, there was an additional project to meet Duan Hengxing in his schedule-just a few hours later.
The standard time on the Southern Stars and Duguang Star is inherently different. In the past, when Duan Hengye traveled between these two planets, the assistant would calculate the time in advance. This time because of the press conference, Duan Hengye came back a little anxiously, and naturally time became chaotic. It was the morning where the military headquarters was located. Duan Hengye went back to make up for a retreat after getting off the starship. When the time agreed with Duan Hengxing was about to come, Duan Hengye then got up again.
The temperature on the Southern Stars is much higher than that of Translight Star, which is in "winter" at this time. After getting up at night, Duan Heng put on a black knitted home clothes, then walked to the reception room and waited for Duan Hengxing's arrival in advance.
The area of ​​this reception room is only more than 20 square meters, and the floor is covered with a thick blanket. After stepping on it, it will even give people the illusion of walking in the clouds at this time. Because it is still a while before Duan Hengxing arrives, Duan Hengye started to habitually fiddle with the tea set on the table after he came to the reception room, but after a while, there was something in the house. Tea fragrance.
When Duan Hengxing walked in, he saw this picture.
Sunlight poured in from the huge French window next to him, and Duan Hengye's black sweater was also illuminated with a hazy outline. Because he was making tea, Duan Hengye lowered his head slightly, the bangs between his forehead blocked his eyebrows, and the line of the chin that was exposed alone looked very elegant.
Although they are brothers, Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing have rarely seen each other since the accident in more than ten years. During the time when they were in the same star of the Queen's family, one of them was receiving a rigorous all-round education, while the other was walking on the road to become an interstellar dude. So obviously they are on the same planet at the same time, but Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing don't have much chance to meet.
As for adulthood, Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing have so far embarked on two completely different paths because of the fate of the previous years. When we meet again, the communication is almost only about money.
Duan Hengxing stepped on the soft carpet and slowly walked towards the sofa. At this time, he noticed that Duan Hengye was actually wearing a pair of slippers on his feet... Such a family Duan Hengye, he really already Long time no see.
"You are here." Duan Hengye raised his head and glanced at Duan Hengxing, then turned his gaze back to the tea set in his hand, "Sit down." He lowered his head very naturally. Although it has been a long time since the previous incident, once again seeing Duan Hengye, Duan Hengxing said it was not embarrassing, that was also a fake.
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Duan Hengxing sat quietly on the sofa. The two of them did not speak for a while, and seeing the light green tea in the tea cup up and down in front of him, Duan Hengxing's thinking was also dragged back to his childhood.
"You still remember this..." Duan Hengxing finally said.
His words were a little bit abrupt, and only after Duan Hengye turned around and saw Duan Hengxing's eyes did he understand what the other party was talking about.
"Yeah." Duan Hengye nodded slightly, "I didn't forget." He said.
After talking about this, Duan Hengxing, who was sitting on the side, suddenly sighed, and then slowly said to Duan Hengye: "I saw the press conference." In fact, after calming down, Duan Hengye From the previous conversation, I can feel that Duan Hengxing is not a person who has no feelings for his parents. It's just because of the childish jealousy of these years of education that his feelings were hidden.
The press conference a few hours ago meant a lot for the high-level members of the Yetian Empire, but for Duan Hengxing, perhaps it was just for him to understand the little truth about his family. Duan Hengxing is not a fool. After watching the press conference, he has thoroughly understood what the cost behind his life is.
After digesting for a few hours in his heart, Duan Hengxing finally stepped onto Duguangxing.
Duan Hengxing didn't give Duan Hengye time to react. After saying the sentence just now, he suddenly put his hand in his pocket and took out a small black box.
"...This is?" Duan Hengye couldn't help but hesitate to ask after seeing what Duan Hengxing was holding. In Duan Hengye's view, although Duan Hengxing is not reliable from time to time, he is not a person who can do inexplicable things. Seeing Duan Hengye's suspicious eyes, Duan Hengxing suddenly sniffed and said to him: "You probably have forgotten it. It will be your birthday one week after your parents' accident happened."
In the interstellar age, the revolution date of each planet is different, but according to the setting in the book, people here also have a fixed set of special calendars for calculating age, which is almost the same as that on the earth. Duan Hengye has never carefully considered topics related to birthdays just from the beginning of his journey into the world in this book.
Now because Duan Hengxing mentioned this incident suddenly, 2 this dimly remembered his birthday date in this world.
After all, unlike Duan Hengye, he did not lose part of his memory. Although Duan Hengxing was young, he still had a lot of memories about his parents. So Duan Hengye found that Duan Hengxing's eyes looked at the things in his hands softened.
Speaking of which, during this time, Duan Hengxing's impetuous and invincible temperament gradually disappeared. The current Duan Hengxing hasn't appeared on the star network for a long time, and many netizens would not recognize him in the first time if he had to show up like this.
After talking about this, Duan Hengxing slowly opened the box in his hand. Duan Hengye saw that there was a light blue mini mecha model lying quietly inside this box. In the eyes of Duan Hengye, a mecha designer, this thing is as naive as a plastic toy car model, but it is the favorite toy of interstellar kids.
It can be seen that the things in the box are definitely not cheap. Although more than ten years have passed, this small model still retains its original appearance.
Duan Hengxing slowly took it out of the box, and then carefully placed it in his palm.
"This is a gift that my parents prepared for you back then. Because I wanted to give you a surprise first, I kept it hidden...but I liked to rummaged around at home." After saying this, Duan Hengxing gently said The model in his hand turned around and said, "... I accidentally turned it out of the cabinet."
Duan Hengye sat there quietly without speaking.
Duan Hengxing continued to preach: "After the accident happened...I was sent home by the staff of the Institute for a few days. During that time, I didn't know what happened outside until the past few days. Finally someone came to the house and said that he would take me away.
Duan Hengxing was too small at the time, and more than ten years have passed, and the memories left behind are also blurred.
When I recalled here, Duan Hengxing dragged his gaze to the ceiling not far away, and his eyebrows were also tightly frowned. Duan Hengye heard Duan Hengxing continue to say: "The person who took me away looked very serious and didn't say much. But maybe it was a hunch... I always felt that this time I would go to a far door. Your birthday has passed, so I subconsciously put the gift in my pocket."
Unknowing Duan Hengxing originally wanted to bring the gift to his parents, but he didn't expect that this time he would be directly taken to the Queen's family star. Because the brainwashing of Hengye during that period of time has not yet ended, the royal family did not ask Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing to meet, and when the two met again, they were all right.
After saying these words, Duan Hengxing put the mecha model into the small box in his hand again, and then handed it over to Duan Hengye again. "Happy birthday." Duan Hengxing finally said this sentence after a delay of more than ten years, and then he realized a feeling called "relieved."
Feeling the weight from the palm of his hand and hearing the blessing in his ear, Duan Hengye couldn't help but smile. Upon seeing this, Duan Hengxing, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help but jokingly said: "You are in the same mood as you were when you were young... I should have noticed this before." At the end of the speech, he also included it. A little bit of loneliness comes.
Although the relationship between Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing has eased a lot now, the emotional gap is not so easy to fill. After handing that thing into Duan Hengye's hands, Duan Hengxing left Nan Zhuxing.
But at this time, reopening the box, the real master Duan Hengye discovered the mystery inside.
This is the interstellar era, and even a small box has an authentication system. Duan Hengxing is not the real owner of the gift after all. Although he can take out the toy, he cannot pass the verification. Waiting until Duan Hengye personally took the gift out of the box, the small note sandwiched between the compartments finally fell gently.
The text on the note is very simple and is handwritten.
"Happy birthday, love you forever!"
