Chapter 95 I Lost Jing Yuan...
When Jing Yuan was dug out of the snow, he thought there really was some hidden civilization on this planet.
After all, from the information he had heard, almost everyone believed that the civilization of this planet had been destroyed by natural disasters, unless there was some hidden civilization like the underground people.
It was not until the underground man hugged him tightly, shed hot tears, and sobbed and repeated the word "General" that Jing Yuan suddenly realized that this person was most likely an acquaintance from Luofu.
The stiff body gradually warmed up in the hug. Jing Yuan raised his hand with difficulty and grabbed the corner of the other person's clothes. He used up all the strength he had just recovered, and finally succeeded in making the other person realize that he did not need anyone to mourn for him for the time being.
The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up "Jing Yuan" and ran towards the spaceship.
All the wet clothes were removed, and the pool maintained at a constant temperature gradually raised the body temperature. Only after it returned to normal was it fished out, dried, and wrapped in a blanket.
"Thank you." Jing Yuan, who was wrapped up like a fluffy cat, said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet a fellow villager in such a remote place. It's really fate."
The man looked at the temperature on the thermometer and exhaled, then whispered, "It's not fate, I came to find you, General."
"Come to think of it, I still don't know who the new general of Luofu is." "Jing Yuan" said in a relaxed tone, but it was only a disguised way of saying that he was no longer General Luofu.
After all, the Interstellar Peace Broadcast would certainly report on such a major event as the generals' change of leadership - even if Luofu did not hold a change of leadership ceremony at all.
But the man stubbornly responded with his old name, "It's Fu Taibu."
"Is that so?" "Jingyuan" nodded thoughtfully, then turned his head to look out the window.
What was originally a beautiful natural snowy planet was dug up by this person and it almost turned into the moon.
The only sound in the quiet atmosphere was the even breathing. After a while, Jing Yuan spoke first, "Why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there anything Luofu needs help with?"
"It's not Luo Fu." The man responded anxiously, with fiery emotions flowing in his amber eyes, "It's me."
Jing Yuan blinked, "What can I do for you?"
The man paused, the heat in his eyes was suddenly drowned by the flowing tears, "You, don't you remember me..."
"......Um, sorry." "Jing Yuan" smiled at him sheepishly, "I should have talked to you about the past and present of Luofu, but I really don't remember much."
Seeing that the man in front of him could hardly hold back his tears, Jing Yuan quickly said, "If you don't mind, maybe we can get to know each other again?"
"I am Yanqing." As she said this, Yanqing wiped away the tears from her eyes and looked at "Jingyuan" hopefully, trying to make him recall something from this name.
However, "Jing Yuan" had indeed completely forgotten the name, and even when he heard the name, he nodded and responded without any hesitation, "Hello, Yan Qing."
At that moment, Yan Qing felt that he was the one who was frozen stiff. He took a long while to suppress the bitterness in his throat and asked calmly, "Then... do you still remember who you are?"
This question is not difficult for Jingyuan to answer, but the key lies in whether he wants to answer it.
——If even I recognize Jingyuan’s identity, who else can go to find Jingyuan?
So, he said softly: "It's not important, Yanqing."
The volume of his voice seemed to dissipate into the air as soon as he opened his mouth, and Jing Yuan didn't even know who he was talking to.
So he sighed, looked up at Yan Qing, and repeated, "It's not important."
...How can it not be important? Yan Qing sniffed and was unwilling to listen to Jing Yuan's words anymore in a huff. He also ignored his protests and took him away from this deserted planet and checked into a hotel.
The new clothes were three layers inside and three layers outside, almost wrapping him up like a round snowman. Jing Yuan pulled at his scarf and gloves uncomfortably, but finally couldn't help but said, "Actually, I'm going to a nearby pub, so I don't need to wear so much."
"Tavern...I'll go with you." Yan Qing said without any doubt, making "Jing Yuan" inexplicably feel a sense of majesty from him.
But Jing Yuan had protested twice, and he was too embarrassed to reject his kindness for the third time. He just had to remind him: "There are all kinds of people in the tavern, and a kid like you..."
He suddenly paused and looked at the childish boy in front of him in a trance for a moment.
"Jing Yuan" really wanted to ask "Have you grown taller?", but since only a blurry image flashed by just now, there was no need to mention it specifically to Yan Qing.
Yan Qing didn't notice the difference and asked nervously, "Is it dangerous there?"
Jing Yuan shook his head and took off most of his thick clothes. "Nothing, let's go."
As usual, Jing Yuan ordered two glasses of sake, preparing to listen to the conversation around him slowly, but Yan Qing drank his own glass directly, and then looked at the drink menu and ordered another glass [Pursuing Evil].
The warm orange alcoholic beverage is hung with crystal grape ornaments of similar color, which looks a bit dreamy. But considering its name, it always makes people feel like it is blood diluted by alcohol.
Jing Yuan rested his chin on his hand and watched Yan Qing drink continuously. Finally, he held down his hand that was about to ask for the fifth cup, "Are you heartbroken?"
"No." There was no sign of drunkenness in his voice, and even a hint of calmness. However, under the sentimental mood, it all turned into grievance, "It's worse than that."
"Jingyuan" picked up his sake and took a sip, suppressing the joke "Did you suffer two heartbreaks?"
The sweet and sour taste passes over the tip of the tongue and enters the throat, bringing with it a sense of fragrance.
Does low-alcohol wine taste so good?
No, it can't. "Jingyuan" pushed it away a little with some resistance, and warned himself in his heart that alcohol would paralyze the nerves and affect judgment, which was not good.
An hour passed by, and Jing Yuan looked at the empty cups in front of Yan Qing and sighed, "Let's go back."
Yan Qing, who had just revealed a sense of loneliness, instantly perked up and asked, "Are we going home?"
Go home... "Jingyuan" shook his head, "Go back to the hotel, otherwise if you drink too much later, I'm afraid I won't be able to move you."
Yan Qing wilted again and whispered, "No, I'm not drunk, otherwise I wouldn't be able to protect you."
As he spoke, he packed up and took away a dozen bottles of different types of wine, even the alcohol content was arranged in a stepped manner.
"Jing Yuan" looked at him with implied disapproval, but felt that he had no right to speak, so he stopped the words of dissuasion in his throat.
Yan Qing habitually explained, "This is for you, but I don't know which one you drink, so I brought them all."
This is obviously an unexpected answer. Jing Yuan looked at Yan Qing in surprise as he paid enough to buy tens of thousands of cups of sake, and said with some heartache, "Give it to me?"
"Yes." Yan Qing nodded solemnly. After returning to the hotel room, he stood on tiptoe and rubbed Jing Yuan's head in an unfamiliar way, imitating someone else. "With me here, you can relax yourself."
After a pause, he added emphatically, "Only tonight."
That was the first time Jingyuan had come into contact with alcohol on a large scale in all his travels - if the industrial alcohol used to disinfect wounds was not counted.
In fact, he didn't drink much, but he was very drunk and kept repeating the three words "I'm sorry" intermittently.
Yan Qing watched him hold his breath after taking a few gulps, and only choked and coughed when the feeling of suffocation came over him. It was as if he had also integrated the inexplicable guilt into it, and he had to torture himself to this extent before he could feel relieved.
But he didn't let down his guard and didn't say anything except the three words "I'm sorry".
So Yan Qing held his hand, looked into those misty golden eyes and said sadly, "General, I am Yan Qing, your apprentice Yan Qing."
"Yanqing..." Jingyuan whispered the name, then shook his head, "Minors cannot drink alcohol, and Yanqing won't want to get me drunk."
Yan Qing trembled, took his hand back, lowered his head like when he did something wrong as a child, and said softly, "I'm sorry..."
But Jing Yuan neither taught him nor comforted him. He even smiled peacefully and said, "What's the big deal? If I hadn't recognized your character, do you think I would really follow your wishes?"
But what he didn't say was: Maybe I really want to relax, even if it may be an abyss.
After that, they didn't say anything else. Perhaps out of Yan Qing's sincerity in apology, Jing Yuan opened a bottle of strong liquor and drank half of it in one breath. He choked and tears came out.
He coughed intermittently, and finally confessed to Yan Qing, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I lost Jing Yuan..."
Yan Qing hugged him, patted his back and said soothingly, "It's okay, I've found it, you are here."
After hearing this, Jing Yuan froze for a moment, then finally smiled with relief, "That's good..."
He hugged Yanqing back and said with a smile, "If it were you, you would definitely find Jingyuan and bring him back."
So... this is agreed? ! Yan Qing hugged the person in his arms tighter and said in a strong voice, "Yes, of course!"
The relaxation after the high mental tension made Yan Qing fall asleep quickly, but when he woke up again, there was only a note left in the empty spaceship: The person you are looking for is not me, go find him.
That was the most shaken time for Jing Yuan. He almost wanted to give up all the existing clues and instead grasp the light in the darkness.
"Jingyuan." He murmured the name, as if he had drawn great courage from these two words and set out on his journey again.
