An Zhe started to tremble violently the moment Lu Xun hugged him.

He leaned on him, his forehead against Lu Xun's shoulder, and he couldn't describe his feelings at the moment. He felt his heart being grasped by a hand, tightening. Intense pain overwhelmed him, and large amounts of warm liquid flowed out of his eyes. He knew he was crying, and knew that tears were something only humans could have, but this was the first time he felt this way.

He thought, if Lu Xun hadn't let him go two months ago, he wouldn't have felt that he had failed Lu Xun's trust when his alien identity was exposed.

If he hadn't built some friendship with Lu Xun these days, he might not have been so scared when facing Lu Xun's gun.

If, if Lu Xun didn't hug him in the end, he might not have felt... so wronged.

But he didn't know why Lu Xun put down the gun. He had never experienced such intense emotions before, and he couldn't handle other things.

- He cried for a long time, and when the tears stopped flowing, he was still gasping slightly.

Later, Lu Xun finally let him go. He watched Lu Feng walk to the wreckage of the plane, pry open the tail with the scattered parts on the ground, and take out a bright orange box.

He rubbed his eyes and his voice was a little hoarse: "Why did it break?"

"Engine failure." Lu Feng said: "The black box recorded the failure information, and it was analyzed after returning to the base."

An Zhe said: "I think several planes fell down."

Lu Feng said "hmm".

Even if An Zhe was a mushroom, he didn't know that so many planes had engine failures at the same time. It was a very strange thing.

Lu Feng walked back to him: "Where do you live?"

An Zhe: "On the ground."

Lu Feng raised his eyebrows.

——An Zhe immediately shut up and stopped talking. The word "on the ground" was really not something a human would say.

But soon Lu Xun noticed the only unusual thing in this wasteland, the backpack of Black Bee on the ground. He walked towards it, and An Zhe followed him, but his calf hurt violently - he had just bumped into it.

Lu Xun looked back at him, and An Zhe bit his lower lip and limped to follow him.

——Then, he was carried on Lu Xun's back.

Being carried by the colonel was something he was used to, and An Zhe found his position smoothly. They were very close, not the distance that humans and aliens should be at.

But tonight, the colonel didn't seem to know the colonel, and the alien didn't seem to know the alien.

While hugging Lu Xun's neck, An Zhe touched something.

——A hard pendant was hanging around Lu Xun's neck.

The fact that he had survived a near-death experience at the hands of Lu Xun seemed to have given him more courage, and the shape of the pendant was too familiar to him. He put his fingers on Lu Xun's neck and gently pulled the thing out, and Lu Xun didn't say anything, as if he acquiesced to this action.

——At the end of the silver metal chain, a brass bullet shell was shining faintly under the aurora.

An Zhe didn't know who this meant, so he said "eh" softly.

Then he heard Lu Xun say calmly, "My father."

An Zhe didn't speak for a long time. After about three minutes, he stuffed the pendant back into Lu Xun's clothes, put his head on Lu Xun's shoulder, folded his arms, and stopped moving.

Through the clothes, Lu Xun felt the man on his back first tense up a little, then gradually relax, and hang on him. After what happened today, An Zhe still leaned on him defenselessly. This boy always did something that he didn't expect.

An Zhe's warm breath was on his neck and shoulders. It was the normal weight of a boy of this age, but it was not heavy for Lu Xun. He clung to him softly, as if the dangers and fears in the world should have nothing to do with him.

Lu Xun thought of the time when he joined the court.

There was no special reason for entering the court. At that time, he wanted to protect everyone. But in such an era, this was just a fantasy that was doomed to be shattered. He protected some people and hurt many people. He did not mean to do so, but he was destined to be the object of hatred by everyone.

As they walked, Anzhe's breathing gradually became lighter and more even. He cried for a long time today and must be tired of crying. Like all young things who are not familiar with the world, this little alien may be about to fall asleep.

Lu Feng still remembered that one month ago, on the afternoon when insects were rampant in the city, he answered An Zhe's call with a soft voice, as if he was scared. This was his seventh time as a judge, and it was the first time he had asked for help in the past seven years. No one else would do this.

He felt that he could at least protect someone - at least at that moment, he had such a fleeting expectation in his heart.

When he was put down, An Zhe was about to fall asleep. Lu Feng put his coat behind his head as a pillow, but this man obviously didn't know how to take care of others. The badge on his chest hurt An Zhe. An Zhe took off the badge and found that it was the one he had been carrying in the base. When he escaped in the form of mycelium, all his clothes, including the badge, were probably scattered on the ground, but now the badge was back on Lu Xun.

Holding the badge, An Zhe asked carefully: "Did the doctor say anything to you?"

Lu Xun looked down at him: "What do you want to say?"

An Zhe whispered: "...Nothing."

Lu Xun really didn't want him to explain it seriously, but he immediately saw An Zhe resting his head on his uniform, hugging his backpack, curling himself up, and looking at him seriously with a pair of dark eyes, as if he was easily emotional.

Yu Lu Xun sneered and said calmly: "Do you think you have such great endurance?"

An Zhe turned over and turned his back to him.

The author's words are: Colonel, you get what you ask for.
