Chapter List

Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.

Ten years after Xie Ruhang's death, Tang Bai became a renowned weapons maker, inherited the weapons institute and became an old, unmarried, career-minded omega like Bai Zhi.

"Tang Tang, look at Tong Meng, he's already had his second child, and you don't even have a date." Mama Tang said cautiously, "When are you going to go on another date?"

At forty-seven years old, Tang Bai wears the most fashionable egg curls, with his curly, light curly hair that makes his face small and delicate.

Tang Bai was wearing a white shirt, sitting on the shoulder of his classic pink rabbit mech, waving a greeting to the crowd, the wind blowing his beautiful curly hair around, his eyes curled in a smile as he jumped out of the mech, still looking like a young boy.

Some people have commented on the hotspots, saying that although Tang Bai has a successful career, he is unmarried and unpregnant and cannot be truly happy in life.

The comment was met with tens of thousands of comments, "People who judge happiness only by marriage, my god married himself to the Federation's mecha manufacturing business, okay? Without the series of mechs my god designed to defeat the Empire, you'd still be sitting here happily on Starnet?"

But the netizens could not be more aggressive than Jiang Youwen, Tang Bai's number one marriage partner.

Tang Bai, faced with her mother's daily urge to get married, said helplessly, "Haven't I been on all the single alpha and beta dates? Have you found a new match?"

"No." Mama Tang's look is somewhat hesitant.

Tang Bai raised an eyebrow and said, "Just to be clear, I don't like anyone too young."

Mama Tang introduced Tang Bai to a 20 year old matchmaker, who is said to be a fan of Tang Bai and has loved her for ten years.

Tang Bai spent a day on a blind date with his date and felt like he wasn't on a date, but at a fan meeting, and that he didn't get along with people his age.

He said the rabbit on a certain snack street was delicious, and all the other party knew was that commercial buildings were now built on that street, he said the underground arena was plain and stern in mecha style, and the other party had never been to the place which had been renovated, he said that omega's used to be unable to walk on the street, and the other party rushed to compliment him on his contribution to omega rights protection ......

At the end of the day, Tang Bai thought that maybe it wasn't the boy's fault, but just that he had left something he loved in the past forever.

"It's not kids, it's Gu Tunan."

Tang Bai froze for a moment before he looked up incredulously and repeated, " Gu Tunan ?

*

After his death, Xie Ruhang's life is remembered not only for his legendary career, but also for his love affair with Gu Tunan.

He and Gu Tunan met at the military academy, so to speak, without a fight. One was first in his year, the other second, one was from the slums, the other was a nobleman's son, two similar and different people who were in sympathy with each other in their competition.

There is much speculation that they were attracted to each other's excellence during their military school days, which is why Gu Tunan was willing to be Xie Ruhang's second-in-command when they went into battle together after graduation.

Many Xie & Gu cp fans got their sugar fix from the classic battles recorded in the textbook, such as the Battle of Kamunla, where Xie Ruhang, then a Major General, proposed a daring battle plan that everyone thought was too risky, and everyone wanted Gu Tunan to dissuade Xie Ruhang, but Gu Tunan, who had always played it safe, said after a long silence that he could give it a try.

When Gu Tunan was later interviewed and asked why he had supported Xie Ruhang in this crazy project, Gu Tunan, in addition to stating the merits of the project, added that His Excellency the Major General had not eaten or drunk for a whole day in order to conceive the project.

At the time, many cp fans said they were crazy about it, saying they were lucky to have a supportive lover like Gu Tunan who understood Xie Ruhang's heart and soul, while Tang Bai stared at the short phrase "don't eat or drink all day" for a long time.

Tang Bai remembers the way Xie Ruhang ate his little desserts, so intently, so intensely, as if he was totally absorbed in them, eating them clean and then saying what he thought of them in a hundred words of rainbow farts.

Tang Bai thought, "How can a person go a day without eating or drinking? If he had been at Xie Ruhang's side, he would have tried to make a meal that Xie Ruhang would have been willing to spare the energy to eat.

But then he remembered what Xie Ruhang had once said to him, I just think of you as a friend, I don't like your love and it makes me feel a bit sick.

Whenever Tang Bai thinks of this phrase, he feels sad.

Even after all these years, he is still a little sad every time he thinks about it.

He thought it was understandable that Xie Ruhang would say this; they were both omega, they shared the same gender, and they shouldn't be attracted to each other.

Tang Bai put himself in his place. If Tong Meng had liked him and confessed to him, would he have remained friends with Tong Meng?

It will still be there, just not as intimate, I guess.

It's actually totally understandable, isn't it?

His hand trembled as he pinned the brooch, and Tang Bai looked at himself in the mirror in a trance, dressed in black and wearing a crystal brooch.

On that day, dressed in black and wearing a white rose on his chest, he cried his heart out at Xie Ruhang's funeral, crying until everyone looked at him in amazement.

"Is this man related to Marshal Xie?"

"It's strange, not being a relative, His Excellency Xie Ruhang's lover didn't even cry so much."

"Marshal Xie never mentioned him, did he."

"Maybe he's a senior fan of Marshal Xie?"

......

His mother and Tong Meng picked him up in a panic and asked him what was wrong, he said, he said ah, he said Xie Ruhang is my idol, my omega light, his whole body was shaking when he said this, he wanted to say Xie Ruhang is someone I like, very much, very much, not just a fan's like for an idol ......

But he couldn't say that.

Xie Ruhang did not like him, his love would have made Xie Ruhang sick, and he could not say these things at Xie Ruhang's grave.

For a long time after Xie Ruhang's death, he would restrain himself from visiting the cemetery to pay his respects, saying to himself that there were no bones of Xie Ruhang in that cemetery, that Xie Ruhang had gone to a place no one knew about before he died.

So during that time he started to travel around, hoping he could find the place where Xie Ruhang had gone before he died. He travelled a lot and met a lot of people, many of whom knew Xie Ruhang and who knew him, saying that he was the light of the omega after Xie Ruhang.

He said no, he said there was only one Light of omega.

A little child said to him, "But big brother, the omega light is dead.

Xie Ruhang is dead.

It took him a year to come to terms with this, to accept that the Xie Ruhang who burned himself with his life and shone brightly would never return.

Ten years have passed and he seems to have moved on from that heavy sadness.

It's not just him, Gu Tunan has come out too.

Not only did he walk out, he had to come to him for a blind date ......

Tang Bai thought angrily about how Gu Tunan could do this and how he could forget Xie Ruhang.

But soon he calmed down again, he was no longer a child, he knew that no one was in love forever, Xie Ruhang had been gone from this world for ten years, and in that time Gu Tunan had been a long time in alpha for not finding a new love.

He was in no position to ask Gu Tunan to remain unmarried for Xie Ruhang for the rest of his life.

Tang Bai puts on his black bowler hat as he walks out of the room and drives alone to the promised restaurant.

Tang Bai looks out of the window for a moment at the students in the same school uniform, thinking that this is a sight Xie Ruhang would like to see, but unfortunately he will never see it again.

He remembered the way Xie Ruhang had thought of the future to him, his eyes, always silent, lit up with an unnamed light, like a night sky full of stars.

He forgets what he said at the time, but remembers those eyes as being so incredibly beautiful that he thinks of Xie Ruhang every time he looks up at the stars after all these years of thinking about it.

After Xie Ruhang's death, he would often stare up at the stars alone, holding the only thing Xie Ruhang had given him, a somewhat old book.

The stars are low in the sky and their activity is silent.

Tang Bai looked up at the bright stars and suddenly remembered his time with Xie Ruhang, who had told him that people become stars when they die.

He said to Xie Ruhang, "Do stars talk to each other? Do stars talk to each other by blinking their eyes?

He said this and scowled at Xie Ruhang, who looked at him and smiled lightly.

At that time, he always thought that Xie Ruhang liked him, because Xie Ruhang always smiled at him so softly, looked at him so softly, and spoke to him in such a soft voice, so softly that his heart melted.

But now I think that it was only his own mind that embellished all this, that a brief eye contact was embellished by himself into a hidden tenderness, that the little moments that were not even on Xie Ruhang's mind were washed away in his heart by his own memories day in and day out, leaving indelible traces of gullies.

He was making a fool of himself, and who was to blame?

Tang Bai gets out of the car and tries to exhale the pent-up air hovering in his chest, although this does not have much effect.

He was in a bad mood and his expression was bad, but he hadn't intended to have a proper date in the first place, so he let himself go into the restaurant with a cold face.

Tang Bai's mood got a little worse when he saw the mango and coconut milk shaved ice that Gu Tunan had ordered for him ahead of time, and he should have told Gu Tunan that he was allergic to mangoes, right? Did he? No? I can't remember, after more than 20 years, he couldn't remember such trivial things himself.

The moment he sat down, Tang Bai suddenly remembered that he had once made a mango lasagne for Xie Ruhang, who was so satisfied that he asked him why he didn't move it after eating it.

Xie Ruhang immediately said nervously, "Are you allergic to mangoes if you make mango lasagna?

He says his allergy is not very serious, he just gets a little sick when he smells it.

So Xie Ruhang said seriously, "You don't have to make this next time, I like to eat whatever you make.

Tang Bai also remembered her previous match with an alpha whose pheromones were mango flavoured, he said sorry, I am allergic to mango, I don't like your pheromones.

I believe that love is more about the attraction of the soul, and it doesn't matter what the pheromone tastes like as long as it's enough to love each other," the alpha said reluctantly.

He pondered for a moment, thinking that the alpha made sense and that he would still enjoy it if it was Xie Ruhang, even if Xie Ruhang had mango-flavoured pheromones.

So he nodded his head and then refused the alpha again.

"Long time no see." Gu Tunan's opening words interrupted Tang Bai's memories and he nodded as he came back to his senses, "It's been a long time."

"I didn't think you'd want to come, my aunt said you've put off a lot of blind dates in the meantime." Gu Tunan and Tang Bai exchanged pleasantries, "I understand you've been working on the third generation of the 'I'm super cute' anti-missile system recently, it seems you've been having a bit of trouble lately, do you need help from the Ministry of Military Affairs for you?"

"Thanks, no need." Tang Bai refused without hesitation.

Gu Tunan points to the mango and coconut milk shaved ice he ordered for Tang Bai, "It's a very popular dessert at this shop."

"Sorry, I'm allergic to mangoes."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and Gu Tunan was about to order something else when Tang Bai said, "No, there's a lot going on at the weapons institute, I came here to ask you something."

"Is it to ask why I once rejected you and now come forward to you?"

They used each other as a blind date, and then Gu Tunan suddenly ended the relationship, saying he was in love with someone else.

"I admire you for who you are now, you are independent and self-reliant, your weapons making talents are far above the rest, you are my type." Gu Tunan asked himself, but the omega in front of him did not feel the slightest bit of joy at being complimented, his shapely brow furrowed and the look he gave him was one of utter disappointment, "Have you said these things to him too?"

This he did not name, but Gu Tunan knew what Tang Bai meant.

"Said so." Gu Tunan replied calmly after a moment's thought.

The attitude is not one of treating one's true love, but rather of recalling a similar question while working on it and generalising a similar solution.

Tang Bai gripped her glass of water with a death grip, and a faint, imperceptible tremor appeared in her bland, self-possessed voice: "How can you ......"

How can you do this to Xie Ruhang's feelings, how can you ......

When he couldn't help but throw the glass of water in Gu Tunan's face, he heard Gu Tunan's next words, "You seem to have misunderstood me, and I should have kept this to myself, but I thought long and hard about it, and I think it would be a disservice to you to keep it to myself."

Looking at Tang Bai's somewhat haggard face, Gu Tunan paused and said, "Once I promised to help Xie Ruhang with something, and I've kept that promise for the past ten years."

" Xie Ruhang didn't like me, he just asked me to do him a favour and let me tell the world that we were in love after he died."

"Snapped."

Tang Bai spills his glass of water.

The water from the glass wet the table and Tang Bai's clothes, but Tang Bai asked, as if he hadn't noticed, "What did you say?"

"Say it again!!!"

Tang Bai's outburst was more than Gu Tunan expected and he froze for a moment, not knowing whether he was right or wrong, but now that he had made his decision he would not shy away from it, Gu Tunan repeated word for word: " Xie Ruhang did not like me, he just asked me to do him a favour and ask me to tell the world after his death that that we were in love."

Gu Tunan's whole body trembled at the sight of Tang Bai, as if he had heard something that completely overturned his perception, "When did he, when did he go to ask you?"

"At the end of the mecha duel for the chief test, I hit his heat and learned that he was omega, and after a few days I confessed my love to him and he rejected me and asked me for these things again."

After saying these words, Gu Tunan saw Tang Bai shed a tear in a daze.

Then tears and broken jade beads fell, drop after drop, together with a sorrow so intense that it was overwhelming.

He was clearly crying, but the smile lifted on his tear-stained face. Tang Bai covered his face and covered his eyes with his hands, and in the artificially created darkness it seemed he could leave behind all his present rules, his calmness, his decency, and bawl like a child aggrieved to the core.

*

As Tang Bai remembers it, his first encounter with Xie Ruhang was in the library of the Federal Military Academy.

He asks Xie Ruhang to help him with his books. This alpha is very tall, with long hands and feet, and is excessively good-looking.

He thought this alpha could be in the running for the Commonwealth Military Academy's schoolmaster, something like schoolmaster being a selection made by a bunch of omega's at their ceremonial academy with nothing better to do.

When Tang Bai returned to his dorm room with his book, he overheard Tong Meng and his friends discussing the new head of the Federal Military Academy. It's just that the new schoolmaster is so handsome that we can't in good conscience say that Gu Tunan is more handsome than him, but of course Gu Tunan is also very handsome!"

Tang Bai was curious to take a closer look, only to see that the photo of the new schoolboy judged by the School of Etiquette was a snapshot.

It was at the entrance of the Federal Military Academy where the new students had just enrolled, the dark-haired, dark-eyed alpha carrying his luggage, who seemed to sense the filming apparatus and turned back with a cold face, his cold phoenix eyes aimed at the camera, the overwhelming sense of oppression that came across time and space and the screen, along with the intense beauty that struck Tang Bai in the face.

"His name is Xie Ruhang, the gentleman is like a hone, he is really so good looking!"

Tang Bai laughed a little, "Yeah, it's even better in person than in pictures."

Crowd of omega: "!!!"

Tang Bai told us about her encounter in the library and everyone was so envious that they wailed, "I'd love to meet the schoolboy too!" "I heard he looks so mean in person, you'd go weak in front of him!" "But in Tang Tang's description, Xie Ruhang was very nice, he even helped with the books ......"

While everyone was fantasising about a beautiful love, Tang Bai finished his skincare work and lay down on his bed, lowering the curtains and reading Energy Vibrations. As he flipped through the book, he occasionally remembered the way Xie Ruhang handed it to him, a very superior looker indeed.

Tang Bai thought that if he was really pressured to get married, he might as well find someone with this kind of looks, so that even if there was no love, it would be pleasing to look at every day.

At this time, Tang Bai's days were as routine as stagnant water. He went through the motions of attending classes, going on blind dates, sometimes going shopping with his mother and watching her play with the canaries in their cages, he would inevitably think about his own life.

He thought about himself and the birds in the cage, as if there was not much difference.

Whenever he had such an idea, he would take out the drawings and quietly put pen to paper alone to design. This was his world, in which he was at ease, sometimes releasing a fat chirp to let it call the sky, sometimes leading an Erha to let it tear the house apart, and it was only in such a world that he could find a moment of truth.

Many times he went to look in the mirror and couldn't recognise who was in it. Director Wong said that all the alpha's in the world would like him to look like this, but in fact those alpha's love was really not worth anything to him.

He dresses himself carefully just to please himself.

But now he goes to look at himself again, and no matter how good he looks in the mirror, he can't seem to cheer up.

The live stream of the mech building competition was playing and the winner was Cheng Yangbin. Tang Bai saw his grandfather personally awarding this alpha trophy and he saw the pop-ups sending out countless compliments as he watched and then suddenly turned off the live stream.

He thought, a little stinkingly, that this champion was not as good as me.

Then he was a little sad that he couldn't use his talent.

He felt it was the world's loss.

Tang Bai, clutching a thick pile of precious drawings, didn't want them to remain unavailable for the rest of his life, so he pouted in resignation and logged on to the Coffin of Mechanics just in time to see a posting looking for a mech with a high degree of freedom in the free to operate mode.

Eh?

Tang Bai pulled out a drawing of a pink bunny rabbit mech design, feeling that it fit the bill perfectly, he pondered for a moment and contacted the mech engineer.

That mech engineer wanted the price of the drawings to be cheaper, to bring the budget for the shape down, and gave him an example of the underground arena's mech style and how a price reduction was not possible, how could he sell the mech drawings he designed cheaply?

But the rest of the mech's words piqued Tang Bai's interest, he had never been to the underground arena and was very curious for a while, and finally after he told the mech what he had originally designed the mech for ......

He was greeted with an unexpected chain of rainbow farts.

"Of all the weapons born for combat, only you stood for the design of all humanity, regardless of gender or sexuality. You are the first designer in interstellar history to link omega to mecha ......"

Tang Bai He ...... Watch the fun.

The corners of his mouth curled up to the sky to be shoulder to shoulder with the sun, feeling himself blown away as he laughed and cried at the same time.

He thought about what a bright future this man was talking about, what with all the mech designs worthy of the history books, what with the idea of bringing about a landmark sea change in interstellar mech manufacturing, but none of these things would ever come to fruition, he was just an omega, he couldn't be a mech builder, his ideas wouldn't be heard.

He talked to this mech and stayed up late into the night, talking about things he had never told anyone before, but maybe he and the mech hit it off too well, or maybe he was too tired and needed a way to vent his frustrations, and this online friend named "X" didn't know his real identity or his gender, so he was able to talk to him without any worries. This.

He says he recently had a prototype idea for a flying mech, inspired by a canary he saw.

That's a beautiful canary in a cage.

X asks, is it a canary shaped mech?

He said no, the shape is that of a Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit, commonly known as a Fat Chirp, have you seen a Fat Chirp? He sent X a picture of a silver-throated long-tailed tit.

After a while X said to him that I had read that it was a very common wild bird and that when I saw them they were not usually good looking, very thin and not pure white, and that the pictures were of them in very good condition.

X told him again that this bird was not suitable as a pet, that it would die if it was not well fed, that it would die if it was too lonely, and that the best life for it was to be free in the forest.

Yes.

Too much solitude can kill you.

Suddenly out of breath, Tang Bai lies dazed on his bed, clutching a silent Palulu doll and staring blankly at the ceiling.

He doesn't want to stay in this cage anymore, he wants to go outside and see something, he doesn't want to live this same old life, married to someone he doesn't like, and live a life where he can see the end of it at a glance.

So he decided to move to the underground arena.

It was because of this decision that he met Xiao Cheng, or rather, Xie Ruhang again.

Director Huang said that to increase the success rate of getting off, you can do exciting things with alpha, oh, this kind of excitement does not mean juvenile things, but using the drawbridge effect, so that the other party misinterpreted the special situation caused by a faster heartbeat as a heartbeat.

At first he thought it was the aura of heroic rescue and the drawbridge effect that made him feel attracted to Xiao Cheng.

But he thought long and hard about it later, and he realised it wasn't.

That encounter allowed him to see the untamed soul beneath Xie Ruhang's cold exterior, a cold brow but a blazing fire in his eyes.

It was a world he hadn't touched before, hot, vibrant and overly fascinating to him.

Xie Ruhang took him to the underground arena and helped him choose his mask, and at that moment he felt as if he was attending a masquerade ball with Xie Ruhang.

But it wasn't a ball, it was a cruel underground arena, and Xie Ruhang saw that he was scared and covered his eyes with his hand.

His eyelids could feel the bruises on Xie Ruhang's hands and he wondered what this man had been through. What makes him so harsh and free, what keeps him an uninhibited soul?

The crowd roared and cheered all around him, but at this moment, it was as if he could hear the sound of the rivers flowing and the sea roaring in Xie Ruhang's body, which made him want to go to that strange world and have an adventure with Xie Ruhang ......

He offered to teach Xie Ruhang how to dance.

He would dance, he would often dance at dinners, he would smile so openly at dances, but he didn't really feel much joy.

The similarity of the dance steps day after day only bored him.

But when Xie Ruhang opened his palm in a crowded square and said, "Young master, may I ask you to dance," he felt a real sense of joy at that moment.

I want to dance with you, I want to like you so much.

They walk through the streets of the slums together, teaching Mr. Ling's children to learn, and they encounter unsuspecting villains or hooligans, and when he first curses these hooligans in slum language, Xie Ruhang's astonished look Tang Bai will never forget.

Xie Ruhang hesitantly said, "I thought you only read very flamboyant poems... No, that's not what I meant, I just ......

He laughed heartily at Xie Ruhang's bewildered look, and Tang Bai laughed even more happily, saying, "Of course I know how to read poetry.

Xie Ruhang looked at him and nodded as someone in the noisy marketplace said that fireworks were next.

"The bright, dark eyes of the South. I read love in the gaze."

A cluster of flowers climbs to the top, knowing that its bloom is only for a moment and that it will sacrifice all of its life for the splendour of this moment.

Amidst the awe of the crowd, brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky and lit up Xie Ruhang's eyes.

"Since the moment we met, you have been my star that never sets by day or night."

He looked at Xie Ruhang and saw that the light from the firework bloom became dim, as the ultimate beauty was reduced to a cloud of smoke in an instant.

Then he gently closed his eyes.

But Xie Ruhang didn't kiss him, Xie Ruhang said to him, "The fireworks are so beautiful tonight.

Yes, the fireworks were beautiful that night.

He thought Xie Ruhang was the star in his life that would never set, but Xie Ruhang was fireworks, the most beautiful and gorgeous fireworks he had ever seen in his life.

That firework fought for everything, burned everything, and as he consumed his entire burning life, even the darkness of this world was illuminated by him for a moment.

Countless people exclaimed, praised, lamented and lamented as they looked up to this mechatron and watched him rise to the rank of marshal, alone and from a poor man's background.

Tang Bai was one of the many who looked up to him, and it was hard for him not to focus on Xie Ruhang, the light of the Federation, who was invincible and invincible.

Grandpa says Xie Ruhang is a general and has big ambitions, mother says Xie Ruhang is a quality matchmaking partner, but Xie Ruhang is now busy with his career, I heard he has put off all his matchmaking, but alpha is careless and can't take care of himself, how can he do without an omega around him? I heard Xie Ruhang has a weak stomach ......

Later, it was Xie Ruhang who beheaded Cheng Yangbin in the street and was imprisoned.

He knows the hidden agenda, knows that Xie Ruhang is for a tainted omega.

After all these years, Xie Ruhang has remained the same, his ideals, his ambitions, his bottom line, nothing has changed.

Tang Bai still remembers what Xie Ruhang told him about the power of omega, about the bright future, something that only Xie Ruhang had told him over the years.

There were times when he wished Xie Ruhang hadn't treated him so much better, so that perhaps he wouldn't have been so hung up on Xie Ruhang.

He made a bento, pretending that his mother had made it, and he asked Gu Tunan to deliver it.

He is working with Bai Zhi to get Xie Ruhang out of prison, thinking that Xie Ruhang should not be trapped in this cage, because this is Xie Ruhang, this is Xie Ruhang who is free and should shine in the outside world.

Although Xie Ruhang did not like him, this did not conflict with his admiration for Xie Ruhang.

Then later, he learns the truth that Xie Ruhang is an omega.

He learns the "truth" about Xie Ruhang, an omega, who was injected with a disguise to enter the Federation College and fell in love with Gu Tunan, who went to school together and entered the battlefield, making them a perfect match.

It was at this moment that he understood why Xie Ruhang said that his love, made him sick.

He went to see Xie Ruhang, who was lying in a hospital bed with little blood on his face, and the daylight shone through the blinds on Xie Ruhang's body.

Vibrant, wild and untamed, the fire that will not be extinguished even in sickness.

He was told that Xie Ruhang, while still seriously wounded, operated a mech that defeated all those who challenged him, convincing all of them and proudly holding on to his uniform.

How nice ......

Tang Bai thinks of Rat, the mech who held the ring in the underground arena and fought to the death.

After all these years, Xie Ruhang hasn't changed at all.

Tang Bai couldn't help but ask, "Is it because I am an omega and Gu Tunan is an alpha that you don't like me and prefer Gu Tunan.

Xie Ruhang said yes, I only think of you as a friend.

This way.

So that's it.

So that's all there is to it.

He tried to raise a smile and said to Xie Ruhang, "Actually, it's not so bad now, you're my omega light, I wish you happiness.

Xie Ruhang said to him, "I wish you happiness too.

Unable to sit down any longer, Tang Bai walked out of the ward and looked up into the dazzling sunlight, a light so brilliant that it brought tears to the eyes.

Tears slipped from the backs of his eyes and he let out a long, shaky breath -

You are a phoenix soaring in the sky, while I am just a caged bird.

But when I know that you are happy, I am satisfied.

*

A week later, Gu Tunan learns that Tang Bai is getting married.

The marriage was not to him, but to Xie Ruhang, the omega who had been dead for ten years.

Even Gu Tunan did not expect Tang Bai to go this far, and he suddenly realised that Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang were in a way alike, in that they would do whatever it took to achieve something they were determined to do, no matter how difficult the road ahead.

There were so many objections that many people even thought Tang Bai was crazy.

How could a normal person do something like marry a dead person?

And the dead man was Marshal Xie Ruhang of the same sex as Tang Bai!

This is crazy! Marshal Xie's lover is Gu Tunan! Even Gu Tunan was not married to Xie Ruhang, so what is Tang Bai, an outsider, doing?

In the midst of all the controversies, Tang Bai showed a special video, which was recorded in a special way after the magic silver triggered the space-time characteristic, showing that Tang Bai liked Xie Ruhang, Xie Ruhang liked Tang Bai, Xie Ruhang chose to hide it because of his longevity, and this unknown relationship was finally This is the way it was made public.

One was born Marshal Xie Ruhang, the omega light that changed the system of the Federation, and the other was His Excellency Tang Bai, the master weapon maker who mastered the Weapons Research Institute.

They missed out for twenty-seven years, but were finally together.

*

A month later, after his honeymoon alone, Tang Bai came to Xie Ruhang's grave, clutching a bouquet of white roses and a well-worn book.

The man on the tombstone has a picturesque brow, brutal and gentle.

Tang Bai looked at the black and white photo of Xie Ruhang, he told Xie Ruhang about what he experienced on this trip, he said that there was a prince in the empire named Andrei who also injected the camouflage potion, the empire held a big funeral for him, he said that because of the change the two of them made, many countries in this world accepted omega to join the army ......

Tired of talking, Tang Bai sits quietly against the tombstone and looks for a moment at the headstones surrounding the tomb where Xie Ruhang's comrades are buried, the resting place of a hero.

He, in turn, is the wife of the hero.

This knowledge made Tang Bai smile as he opened the old book Xie Ruhang had given him and found a dried rose petal on a page that contained the following passage.

"I have come to give you a gift, that among so many stars I will continue to live in one of them, and I will continue to laugh on that star.

That way, when you look up at the stars, you feel as if all the stars are laughing."

Tang Bai looked up, the sky was clear, there were no stars, he was leaning not on a body but on a cold tombstone, but his heart was surprisingly peaceful and he whispered to the quiet tomb the poem he had once recited.

"The bright, dark eyes of the South. I read love in the gaze."

"Since the moment we met, you have been my star that never sets by day or night."

When I want to see you, I don't need to gaze at the stars, for you are my star that never sets day or night.
