Chapter 57: Bionic Man Code Guess what my relationship with him is...
The bishop was a kind-hearted person. Because of Ming Jue, she was gentle and considerate to Ming Nuo and even prepared some fruit for him.
Ming Nuo stared blankly at the bishop's face. He liked good-looking people. The bishop had long golden hair. When he got closer, he could see his fair and delicate face. His calm blue eyes seemed to be able to forgive all sins.
Ming Nuo blushed uncontrollably. "Thank you, thank you."
The bishop chuckled. "That's okay."
Mingnuo lowered his head and said nothing. When the bishop turned around to give fruit to others, he threw himself into Sedwick's arms and suppressed his excitement, "He is so gentle and beautiful!"
Sedwick felt a little jealous and reminded, "...He's your uncle's friend."
"I know." Ming Nuo's cheeks flushed, "But why didn't uncle mention him to me? I want to make friends with him."
Sedwick: "Oh."
Ming Nuo could easily sense Sedwick's mood swings and tilted his head to look at him. "Are you jealous?"
Sedwick: “No.”
"You're being stubborn again." Ming Nuo understood him very well. Smiling, he held his face and kissed it gently on the side of his face. "Don't worry, I just think this uncle is good-looking. It's pure admiration, not the kind of love I have for you."
Sedwick said he didn't care and didn't think much about it, but in fact he had secretly raised the corners of his lips.
The bishop gave them a room. As Mo Lin lay down on the soft bed, he closed his eyes comfortably and said with emotion, "This is the treatment the injured deserve."
More than an hour later, Ming Jue hurried over. He didn't say anything too polite to his friend, the bishop. He glanced at the incapacitated Mo Lin and said, "You stay in the church. Leave someone else to take care of him."
When making the decision, Ming Jue did not ask the bishop's opinion. The bishop just lowered his eyes and did not express any objection.
Mo Lin was deeply moved, and then turned his attention to his dear junior brother. If he had to choose someone to take care of him, his first choice would definitely be Ming Nuo.
Seren volunteered, "Let me take care of him."
Mo Lin's vision suddenly went dark, and his voice trembled, "Don't, don't."
He was afraid that Seren would take care of him to death.
Seren didn't notice Mo Lin's resistance, thinking he was worried about causing trouble for him, so he said seriously, "It's okay. I'll let my brother take care of Lorian, so leave it to me."
Mo Lin's lips twitched, and he said with a dead heart, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Before leaving, Ming Nuo said goodbye to Mo Lin, "Take good care of yourself, I will come to see you often."
Mo Lin held his hand reluctantly, his eyes slightly red, "You must come often, Junior Brother."
Otherwise, no one would know he was dead.
Ming Nuo nodded heavily as if he was carrying a heavy responsibility. "I will, take care, brother."
Afterwards, Ming Nuo and the other two followed Ming Jue away.
Before leaving, Mingnuo turned around and looked at the bishop. He watched them leave quietly, with no expression on his delicate face. Only when he saw Mingnuo turning around and looking back did he reveal a hint of a smile.
Ming Nuo also smiled with the corners of his lips, but he felt an inexplicable weirdness in his heart, but when asked to explain it, he couldn't say it no matter how hard he tried.
As night slowly fell, more and more protesters appeared on the streets. They held up banners, shouted slogans, and wantonly smashed shops that supported the royal family. They also rushed to the government building and beat up the staff on duty.
The royal family was extremely busy. The Tasan behemoths on the front line had destroyed all of their defenses. Marshal Stuart and Marshal Coleman had joined forces and were now approaching the border.
Most of the Saichuan Empire's troops were transferred to the front line. The riots on the capital planet rebounded completely due to the violent law enforcement in the previous period and became increasingly severe.
Mingnuo stood on the second-floor terrace, gazing at the brightly lit streets. He could vaguely hear the figures of the parade. After standing outside for a long time, he slowly walked into the room with a heavy heart.
After taking a shower, Mingnuo sat on the bed in a daze. Under the warm yellow light, his fair skin was steamed pink by the heat. His hair was still wet, with water droplets hanging on the ends, which had not been completely wiped clean.
Sedwick walked over to Mingnuo with a dry towel. Seeing that he was unhappy, he wiped his hair and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
Mingnuo sat cross-legged, his hands resting on his cheeks, and suddenly asked Sedwick: "What do you think of the bishop?"
Sedwick said bluntly: "Like a fake person."
Ming Nuo: “…”
This is too direct.
Although he also had this feeling, the bishop was perfect, but the perfection was so unreal that it even made Mingnuo experience the uncanny valley effect. The scene of the bishop killing Major General Luo kept appearing in Mingnuo's mind.
Killing someone...killing someone I know...
But the bishop acted like an ignorant child who had taken the head off a doll. He was so indifferent and cruel, yet it seemed natural.
Mingnuo's mind was in a mess, so he simply leaned into Sedwick's arms and relaxed his body. "We should be able to go back soon."
Sedwick was fully aware of the current situation. "Well, your uncle has already begun closing in. I estimate that the old emperor will be dead in two or three days."
Ming Nuo snorted: "He is a bad guy and should have died long ago."
The old emperor treated his father Mingchuan as a test subject, killed his father, and always wanted to capture him. Mingnuo almost hated the old emperor to death and couldn't wait for him to die.
Thinking of Mingchuan's father, Mingnuo suddenly remembered that his uncle had not returned the lamb bag to him, and he quickly got out of Sedwick's arms and said, "I'll go find my uncle."
Sedwick was reluctant and grabbed his wrist: "...It's late."
Ming Nuo was thinking about his lamb buns, "It's okay, uncle is used to staying up late."
Unable to stop Mingnuo, Sedwick was left alone in the empty room, letting out a sad sigh.
Ming Nuo ran to Ming Jue's dining room door in two or three steps. As expected, a faint light shone through the crack of the door. Ming Nuo knocked on the door, "Uncle."
Silence.
Ming Nuo was stunned for a moment, then knocked on the door twice more, "Uncle, are you there?"
Ming Jue still didn't respond. Ming Nuo was just about to give up when the door under his command suddenly opened a crack. He tentatively took a look into the room and saw a figure sitting in front of the window.
Ming Nuo walked straight into the room and said, "Uncle, you forgot to give me my lamb bag, you..."
After a pause, Ming Nuo stood there in a daze when he saw the man's face. The person sitting here was not Ming Jue at all, but the bishop who should have been in the church.
The bishop looked calm, with his dazzling golden hair hanging down on the side of his face, and his blue eyes staring blankly at a certain point without focus, and he did not react at all to Mingnuo's arrival.
Ming Nuo was shocked that the bishop appeared in his uncle's room so late. Seeing that he was not in a good state, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, "Uncle?"
The bishop's gaze did not shift at all.
The deathly silence bred fear, and a chill spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body. Ming Nuo swallowed, and suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
Every noble in the Saichuan Empire has his own bionic man, but Ming Nuo has never seen Uncle Ming Jue's. He used to think that his uncle was different from other nobles.
But the truth is that his bionic man has always appeared in the public eye as a human being and is equally powerful.
Mingnuo was frightened by this guess. He quietly observed his surroundings and finally approached the bishop gently.
The factory code of a bionic man is usually printed on his arm.
Mingnuo carefully rolled up the bishop's sleeve, and the arm in front of him was white and smooth, without any code.
How could it be missing? Ming Nuo looked at it again and again in surprise, and began to check the other arm in disbelief. However, just as he rolled up his sleeves, a slightly cool hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
"ah!"
Ming Nuo was so scared that he let out a short scream and turned around in panic, only to see Ming Jue had returned at some point and was standing silently behind him.
Ming Jue's eyes were dark, and his tall stature gave off a strong sense of oppression. He glanced at the uneasy Ming Nuo, then turned to look at the bishop, who looked like an exquisite doll. "It seems that Nuo Nuo has already seen through it. How smart."
Ming Nuo's heart couldn't stop trembling, "See, what do you see?"
Ming Jue's slender fingers gently lifted the bishop's chin, stroked his face, and chuckled, "Is this skin good-looking?"
It was a very strange question, but Mingnuo nodded obediently.
"What do you think our relationship is?" Ming Jue was like a stern teacher randomly calling on students to answer questions in class. Before Ming Nuo could answer, he added, "Don't say we're lovers. It makes you look stupid."
Under Ming Jue's slightly expectant gaze, Ming Nuo stumbled over his initial guess, "He... is your bionic man?"
"He's a smart kid." Ming Jue patted Ming Nuo's head with satisfaction. "He still has the basic IQ. Your father doesn't need to worry about you being cheated outside."
Ming Nuo said without much confidence: "I'm not stupid."
Ming Jue nodded: "I know."
Ming Nuo curled his lips, thinking that his uncle had no idea at all. He probably thought in his heart that he was a little fool who would be cheated of money and lustful even when walking on the street.
Ming Jue looked at Ming Nuo's unconvinced look, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he sat in front of him leisurely, "So, why do you come to see me so late?"
Ming Nuo then remembered his business, "You haven't given me my lamb bun yet."
"Sorry, I'm too busy lately. Come with me." Ming Jue got up and took Ming Nuo to Ming Chuan's room.
Mingchuan's room is cleaned every day by a home bionic man. Mingnuo looks at the room where Mingchuan's father once lived.
Various mecha models placed on the table, withered potted plants on the windowsill, and several packets of flower seeds that had not been planted in time... every little detail tells of Mingchuan's father's love for life.
Mingchuan's belongings were properly placed by Mingjue. Mingjue took out a lamb bag from the drawer, opened the dust bag, and handed the lamb bag to Mingnuo.
After so many years, Ming Nuo stroked his favorite lamb bun, his eyes filled with nostalgia, "Thank you, uncle."
Ming Jue stared at the lamb bag with his dark eyes, and said calmly: "It's okay, don't lose it again next time."
Ming Nuo hugged the lamb bag tightly and cherished it, "Yeah! I won't lose it again."
When Ming Jue learned that his spoiled brother had learned to sew cross-body bags, his heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp thorn. Everything Ming Chuan left behind was related to Ming Nuo.
The clothes Mingnuo wore when he was a child, the dried flower specimens he made by hand, and the photos taken when they traveled together...but Mingchuan had already forgotten that he had a brother.
After Mingnuo left, Mingjue stayed alone in Mingchuan's room for a long time.
"Sedwick!" Ming Nuo ran into the room with a lamb bag in his hand. Seeing Sedwick sitting on the bed looking at the intelligent computer, he immediately jumped on him with a smile and held up the lamb bag. "Look, isn't it cute?"
Sedwick often heard Mingnuo talk about his lamb bag and touched the lamb's ear, "Yeah, it's cute."
"Mingchuan's father made this for me himself." Mingnuo lifted one side of the quilt and lay down in it. Sedwick moved closer to him and held him in his arms.
Wrapped in the warm body temperature, Ming Nuo rested his head on Sedwick's arm and rubbed his head against his neck with a smile, "You're so warm."
Sedwick held his cold hand to warm him up, "I should have put on a coat before going out."
"Oh, right, let me tell you, I've discovered a big secret." Mingnuo thought of the bishop's identity and told Sedwick excitedly, "The bishop is really not human. He is my uncle's bionic man. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Sedwick could conclude that the bishop was a fake person, so he wasn't surprised that he was actually a android. However, facing Mingnuo's expectant gaze, he nodded and said, "Surprised, unexpected."
"Me too, me too." Mingnuo agreed repeatedly, and then chattered to Sedwick about his mental journey at that time. At the end, he felt sleepy and his voice became smaller and smaller.
After a few seconds, Sedwick didn't hear Mingnuo's voice. He looked down and saw that he was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Sedwick gently touched Mingnuo's curled eyelashes with his hand. Mingnuo was unhappy to be disturbed, and hummed and snuggled into his arms.
Love makes a heart soft. Sedwick stared at Mingnuo for a few seconds. He slept in his arms so defenselessly, not afraid that Mingnuo would do something bad to him in the night.
Finally, Sedwick simply placed a kiss on Mingno's forehead and said, "Goodnight."
Then the room fell into darkness.
