A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

*******************

.......

At first, Lan thought he was mistaken.

Gao Tian, ​​from the very first day she met him, showed her infatuation with him. She practically had "Please marry me" written all over her face. How could she possibly start avoiding him?

Until Gao Tian stopped saying a word all day, stopped eating with him, and stopped sleeping with him.

Lan felt lost and confused, not understanding why Gao Tian would suddenly treat him like this.

Why?

They had finally become very close and were about to get married, but now Gao Tian seemed to be turning back into a stranger to him.

Lan tried to talk to Gao Tian and find out why Gao Tian had suddenly become like this.

The Zerg crown prince has everything and is extremely powerful; nothing can stand in their way.

But Gao Tian always left early and returned late, deliberately avoiding him and unwilling to communicate with him.

Lan reached out but couldn't grab him. She watched helplessly as he flew away on the flying machine, her heart growing heavier and heavier, feeling as if something was about to slip out of her control.

......

Gao Tian sat in the cave that used to be an incubator but now smelled terrible.

Damn it, he realized he had nowhere else to go but here.

Staying at the camp and seeing Lan's eyes would break his heart.

A clueless little fool who doesn't know what he did wrong.

I can't say it directly, I can't just say it's because you Zerg have a long lifespan and I'm just a short-lived one, can I?

What if Na Lan says, "If you die, I'll go with you"?

He's really capable of doing something like that.

Both the ABO universe and the Zerg universe have this setting: due to pheromone entanglement and mental imprinting, if one partner dies, the other is also very likely to die of heartbreak.

Even if they barely survive, they will most likely go insane, making their lives extremely difficult.

The Zerg world's burial system for dead male Zerg is even more vicious, targeting only females and not males.

If he dies young...

Ever since he learned that the Zerg had keen hearing and vision, Gao Tian would only choose a place three kilometers away when he was hiding and feeling depressed.

We can't let Lan hear it, and we can't let Lan see it, otherwise it would be like morally blackmailing him.

Oh dear, how could this happen?

Even if you really gave me a Cinderella story, it absolutely couldn't be a Cinderella whose lifespan was only half that of the prince.

Who could stand this?

The phrase "wife, children, and a warm bed; a flower in a mirror, a moon in the water" suddenly became a sarcastic remark.

With a "snap," it was gone.

Gao Tian covered his head.

Damn, that hurts! No wonder alphas go crazy for their wives; they don't know the pain until they're cut themselves.

How unlucky Lan must have been to meet him! The crown prince of the Zerg Empire, his lifespan was halved just from falling in love.

How could this happen?

Is there no way to remedy this?

...What remedies are there for the problem of natural lifespan?

Why?

How could this happen?

A "ding-dong" sound indicates a new message.

Gao Tian pulled up the light screen on his wristband to check the messages.

The First Army has passed through the Rosette Nebula and will arrive at Star 65 today.

blue......

Crown Prince...

blue......

If this is the territory of the Zerg Empire, is it even necessary for them to fight this battle with the 65-star Zerg hive?

Even after the war, it won't be a habitable planet for humans.

They're like a bunch of idiots who barge into someone's house for no reason, want to slaughter their pigs, and then occupy their pigsty.

......

Gao Tian returned to the camp.

Unusually, this time he didn't avoid communication. He picked a large bunch of flowers from the plateau for Lan, and with a look of surprise in Lan's eyes, he took his hand and smiled at him, saying, "Can you fly with me? I want to take you somewhere."

Why can't that be?

For the first time, Gao Tian truly saw blue wings with his own eyes.

Snow-white wings unfolded from between his shoulder blades on his back.

It was shimmering with silver light, its snow-white surface adorned with electric blue patterns that spread like wildflowers. Gao Tian didn't know what it was, but he thought it was very beautiful.

Gao Tian rode his skateboard, and Lan flew above him.

Gao Tian felt that Lan Fei's flight was more like an eagle than a butterfly; it wasn't a beautiful fluttering, but rather each dive was as fast as lightning.

They flew over the foot of the mountain, and Blue smiled as they saw Ruby and its cubs in the valley.

Rubymon tried to catch up with them, but they were too fast, and Rubymon stopped after taking two steps.

They flew over the Gobi Desert, and Lan smiled again.

In the central area of ​​the Gobi Desert, there is a huge snake skeleton, and Gao Tianzhen wants to fight it no matter what he sees.

After flying over the rainforest, we found that many banana flowers were still in bloom, their slender stems full of nectar.

After flying over the wasteland, the boulder from which they had dug out the cave still stood in the same spot.

Then they flew over the villa area, where the villas remained intact and sat there peacefully.

Then came the tree branch outside the city where he had lain, the rose bushes in the city center square, the building where he had slept, the meteorite crater left by the crashing starship... Gao Tian stopped in his tracks.

Gao Tian brought Lan back to the spot where the starship they first met crashed.

Gao Tian stood there without saying a word.

Lan panicked a little and reached for Gao Tian's hand: "Why did you bring me back here...?"

Gao Tian didn't take Lan's hand or answer, but changed the subject: "Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of you."

Lan stared blankly at him, wondering why he suddenly called her Your Highness.

But he wouldn't refuse Gao Tian, ​​so he said, "Go ahead."

Gao Tian asked, "Could you give me this 65-star planet we're standing on?"

The Zerg Empire has a vast territory, but it is just a deserted planet that has migrated into space. The Crown Prince has the right to make this request, and it is even insignificant to him.

Ke Lan had a premonition that if he agreed, Gao Tian would not come back.

But he couldn't refuse Gao Tian, ​​whose eyes were trembling with fear.

He had never seen such an expression in Gao Tian's eyes before, as if all the weight of a thousand pounds was pressing down on a single thread, taut and about to snap.

So he still said, "Okay."

Gao Tian: "Thank you."

As Gao Tian turned around, Lan suddenly grabbed his hand.

Gao Tian's hand was held by Lan. He should have broken free, but he held onto Lan's hand and couldn't move or let go.

Gao Tian thought: He once taught Lu Jianan to slap the world twice, but now it seems that the world has slapped him twice in return.

Human courage has its limits. When the gap between two people's social status becomes too large, they may lose the courage to reach out.

He was acutely aware of the gap between himself and Lan.

The entire Earth Federation's strength is less than that of a remote, uninhabited planet in the farthest corner of the Zerg Empire's vast territory; in Blue's eyes, the overall value of the Earth Federation might not even be as great as a single gem embedded in his cloak.

What stands between them is not only the difference in their social status, but also the difference in their lifespans of one hundred years.

100 years not only means that when Lan was still young, he was already very old, but also that Lan's life did not include the second half of his long life.

No one is mentally prepared to calmly face the passing of a loved one early in the morning.

No matter how strong or eloquently you speak, it won't work.

This is not a mismatch in social status, but a mismatch in natural lifespan.

The existence of long-lived and short-lived species is destined to be a tragedy.

As the countdown to the end of his life begins, one wonders if Lan will secretly break down, and how many tears he will shed in secret.

......

Gao Tian released his hand.

Lan stood there without moving.

He wasn't stupid; he could sense whether Gao Tian liked him or wanted to avoid suspicion by returning to their previous relationship.

He is the Crown Prince of the Empire, and he enjoys the power of the entire world.

His pride and self-respect did not allow him to reach out again after being rejected time and again.

Lan raised her head and thought to herself, maybe I should just give up. He's just a male insect; he won't die even if we don't get married. There's no need for the Crown Prince to keep throwing himself at me like this.

But when she saw Gao Tian carefully light a fire for him before leaving and leave his coat there for him to sleep on, she couldn't help herself.

He suddenly said, "Gao Tian, ​​you taught me to call you husband."

"..."

"I found out, 'husband' is what you human wives call your husbands."

"..."

"Do you want to marry me?"

"..." Gao Tian didn't answer, but only asked him, "Did you notify your fleet to come pick you up?"

Lan: "Mm."

Gao Tian: "That's good."

.......

Gao Tian still left.

He stood on his newly recharged flying skateboard, speeding through the original city, past buildings, and through rose bushes.

He thought it was like being far away from warmth.

Blue is his light and heat, the star, the sun, the moon, a lovely symbol and his heart.

They were all left behind by him, getting further and further away.

His body was cold, and his heart was leaking air.

He looked as if he had been torn in two.

Half of them walked forward, saying, "Stay away from him."

Half of them flew backward, shouting "Go back, go back, go back!"

He suddenly forgot what had just happened, only feeling as if a huge hole had been torn in his heart.

It's so empty, and it will never heal.
