"You don't even know what I liked when I was a kid," he muttered.
Shen Que looked at him helplessly, "You like to fight and skip classes, making your mother angry, and..."
He paused.
"My mother told me that you once kept a bird."
Pei Ji was slightly stunned, his expression was detached for a moment.
"Ah... I picked it up from the desert. Desert sparrow."
He propped up his head, his eyes drooping, as if recalling something.
Shen Que walked to his side, leaned on the armrest of the sofa, glanced at Pei Ji who was lost in thought, leaned forward, and leaned on his shoulder.
"I heard...you like it very much."
"That's about right..."
Pei Ji reached out and touched Chen Que's hair, and put his other hand around his waist.
"Its wings were broken and its feathers were covered in blood. It couldn't fly at all. I took it home and raised it for a while."
That was probably the most well-behaved period of his entire childhood.
He doesn't run around and doesn't have the mind to make trouble. Every day he takes care of the cheap little bird he picked up.
"Then what?" Shen Que asked.
"Then..." Pei Ji paused in lifting his hair, "When its wings grew back, I released it back into the desert."
"Have you ever thought about staying?"
Pei Ji's fingertips moved slightly, moving from the black hair all the way down to the heavy earrings, and gently lifted them up.
"I haven't thought about it."
He whispered.
"Once you've recovered, I'll let you go."
The azure sea appeared outside the window. Pei Ji turned his head and saw a vast expanse of water.
Four-fifths of the capital star Messiah is sea.
The capital city of Petis floats on the vast ocean, and at first glance, it looks like a crescent moon standing on the water.
The special structure supports the semi-arc city boundary and the stacked streets.
Countless waterfalls cascade down from the edge of the city, sparkling like gems in the sunlight.
Beneath the crescent moon is the residential area for ordinary star citizens, where red houses with pointed roofs are scattered around in an orderly manner and the streets are bright and clean.
The suspended tracks are like silver snakes, connecting urban clusters.
In the center of the crescent stands a dock hundreds of meters high, connected to the central imperial court. The wide disembarkation platform is flanked by towering statues of goddesses.
The starship slowly landed at the Royal Star Port.
"We're here." Pei Ji said.
I don't know why the voice is a little tense.
Shen Que followed Pei Ji's gaze and looked at the silvery-white city outside the window.
Feeling the unconscious tension revealed by the person beside him, the arms around him seemed to be even stiffer than before.
Chen Que leaned over and touched Pei Ji's cheek.
"Welcome to the Messiah."
