  To this in front of him, having the parted on the right side, liked to smoke Three-Seven brand long filter cigarette pretty man, Sheilor always felt somewhat rather baffling in his heart. Just had a chat when he was having the sunbath, the result was in these several months, this man would often come to see him, bought him the drinks, chatted with him… But, he was not a man who looked like a woman, the other party seemed to have this charm more. Sheilor really couldn’t understand the persistence of the other party. But the very wonderful thing was, he seemed to not resist this kind of contact with this official, maybe… Because the other party had that kind of world-weary emotion in that kind of sluggish smell same as some parting people?

  Sheilor embraced the casting and walked past by his side, lowered his voice and begged to say, “I have vomited for a long time last night, please give me a break, my capacity for liquor is really poor, I really can’t withstand it.”

  “Put down this damn thing and then talk.” Shielding looked at him with a smile, the pretty and meek face floated the light in the sun, “we don’t drink today, I will bring you to find a woman.” he said.

  “Woman?” Sheilor opened his mouth widely, couldn’t get his reaction back for a long time.

  “Childe Shielding? Are we so familiar to this degree?” Sheilor looked at him helplessly, Childe Shielding was the name Shielding called himself, this young government official seemed to be very looking forward to that evil Empire feudal society all the time.

  “Twenty times drinking together in two months, that shouldn’t be very familiar? Besides the stone, anything couldn’t get familiar with in this world?”

  “Well, I was in the army in the East Forest, the federal people always think that the East Forest people are stones.”

  “Even the stone still need a friend.”

  “Friend is just such a simple thing like this?”

  “Of course, pleasing to the eyes, comfortable to get along with would be friends.”

  Sheilor seemed to have the same feeling, nodded his head with a smile. Shielding stirred away the side-bang on his forehead with his fingers very seriously, said to him, “I would feel bored when I was alone by myself, I saw you besides working part-time, then will be going to the classes and doing the experiences, having the bread in the library, you are even more bored than I do, I really couldn’t watch it like this, so I decided to let you to see what the real life suppose to look like.”

  “The real life is the woman?”

  “No.” Shielding swung his that slightly oily hair, and said seriously, “it’s beauty.”

  In the most bustling street of the Coastal state, the door of the biggest nightclub Thirteen was shut closely. But inside of the former Constitution Calendar style iron gate, the rhythm kept changing blurred music resounded through over, inside of the broad place, the glaring spotlights and the dusky environment mixed together not contradictorily. The amber liquid in the glass released the sweat bouquet on the table, mixed together with the ubiquitous tempting perfume smell in the whole night club, that created a charming environment.

  “We just drank at the taverns before, I thought that you are a very simple veteran, didn’t think of, you are very familiar with this kind of debauchery place after all.” Shielding lowered his head and looked at the drink in the glass in front of him up and down, seemed to try to figure out the dim light through the drink, would refract how many colors.

  Sheilor was looking at those wearing hot-pants, showing white legs to dance on the bar counter girls at this time, tried to open his that pair of narrow eyes as wide as possible a bit, in the preoccupation, he didn’t hear Shielding’s words clearly at first, stared blankly for a moment and then turned his body around, looked at Shielding and said, “familiar with?”

  Shielding’s black hair dangled on the table in front of him, said lifelessly, “an eighteen years old retired dogface, in the most expensive night club of the Coastal state, still sits this stably, also didn’t have the nose blood running while looking at those beautiful girls, if you said that you never come to the similar place before, I wouldn’t believe that shit.”

  “It’s not long ago I just passed my legal drinking age.” Sheilor sat straight on the couch, and said with a smile. Of course he wouldn’t be unfamiliar with night club this kind of thing, although he seldom went inside, but he had been running around in the society with Levi that group of orphans from a child, although it’s in the remote East Forest, but he also grew up with the ruthlessness. His that sincere and simple face, although really reflected his some parts of thinking ways, but it also covered the orphan’s born with calm and solid, the clear-cut action way, and those could let people became calmer hardship experiences more successfully.

  “You look a little bit older than your actual age.” Shielding raised the glass in his hand, motioned to a lady on the table not far away, but his eyes came back on Sheilor’s face, and silenced for a moment. He had already drunk with Sheilor for twenty three times, it seemed like that this little porter would get drunk at last every time, but the problem was, no matter how the other party got drunk, he would not mention anything about his past in the drunk words. This small detail let the sensitive Shielding to perceive the abnormality, he didn’t ask the other party, and just waited patiently for the day when the riddle was uncovered.

  A federal young official, a studying in the university as a guest student little porter, should be the people in two different worlds, but Shielding just wanted to make friends with the other party, on the one hand, because he was really bored; on the other hand, because he had some kind of intimate feeling to Sheilor. And Sheilor dared to become his friend, this fact let Shielding to think highly of Sheilor once again. He had already found that he underestimated Sheilor at the very beginning, the other party although really was a white paper, but the white was very obstinate, if he wanted it to be painted by the extrinsic colors, the difficulty was not little.

  “I know that you have your secret.” Shielding got down his upper body lazily once again, and looked at Sheilor’s face through the wine glass, “I never believe that you have a what uncle presented you a large sum of money, good enough to let you to get on the first class cabin sumptuously… But rest assured, you are not a government official, and no one would have the interest to check on you.”

  “Don’t you have the interest in me?” Sheilor looked at him, silenced for a moment and opened his mouth to say, “if you didn’t have to ask me these things in the first place, maybe I wouldn’t deal with you, after all, you and me are the people from two different worlds.”

  “I don’t know which world you came from, to be precise, I even don’t know which world I came from.” Shielding took a look at him in taunt, drank up the liquor in the glass in one mouth, then said, “I just feel that you are pleasing to my eyes. Oh, right, you will pay for today’s bill, this month’s bonus is still not handed out yet, you this little rich man should bear the burden a bit somehow.”

  Sheilor looked at the label of the wine bottle on the table carefully, through this period of drinking life, he finally could tell the price of this bottle of wine, although it’s a little bit expensive, but it’s still not which he couldn’t afford, the money his boss left to him, just let him well spend for him, it seemed that he didn’t have any place else to need money to spend on over the university there.

  He was ready to say something, suddenly saw on a table not far away, a group of young men and women were drinking a tube of blue liquid, and it looked as if it tasted very well.

  “What’s that? Whether we should order a tube of that or not?” Sheilor asked.

  “The new drug, Sky Blue.” Shielding looked at him in taunt, “do you really want to give it a try?”

  Sheilor shook his head, thought in his heart that the Capital planet was really a bu
stling and terrible place, even people dared to have the drugs in broad daylight, he couldn’t help to heave a sigh. Just right at this time, another fragrant wind burst came over, threw into Shielding’s arms. He couldn’t help to heave a sigh again, thought in his mind that he was still really the bumpkin came from the remote underdeveloped area, and he still couldn’t adapt to this kind of occasion well enough.

  Shielding was very handsome or rather should say very beautiful, although he didn’t wash his hair frequently, but that pair of with some deep charming eyes, always released the electricity ceaselessly. In the dim light of the night club, the sparking and charming in his eyes got blurred gradually again, didn’t know how many women were attracted to fall into his arms. In the drinking time of these days, Sheilor had already seen many waitresses looked at Childe Shielding with the plaintive eyes, he even saw the scene that a girl threw herself into his arms many times tonight.

  But Sheilor could tell that Shielding was not happy, if he was really happy, he wouldn’t probably find him out to drink. Shielding said that he was lonely, how would this literary word come out from the mouth of a government official? Although he said that he was watching the gate for the government, but who would believe that? But since Shielding didn’t asked closely about his past, then he also wouldn’t ask closely the background of Shielding.

  Had already left the East Forest for a long time, there were no any problems for the disguise chip in his body, Sheilor had already faced all the things in life naturally, rather than taking himself as a fugitive forever, living naturally, keeping some of the past, this was very good. If he treated every people and thing he was going to meet in life with the alert and doubtful eyes, what meaning of this kind of life itself would have?

  The night was getting deep gradually, Shielding was drunk because of the night, beauties and friend, he said something ambiguously, fell down into the couch and slept deeply.

  The drank more than half bottle liquor Sheilor, didn’t have the drunk feeling, instead, he became somewhat excited slightly because of the alcohol. He was somewhat unwilling to part his eyes from those cool beauties, called the waitress over, paid the bill on the card machine which was held respectfully in her hands, held Shielding up and walked to the outside of the night club.

  This time was the most lively time of the night club, only because Shielding and Sheilor drank too fast, so they left earlier than other people as well. It’s not so easy for holding the heavy body Sheilor to seek the way out in the dim light, he didn’t know that he had already bumped into how many people, and said how many times sorry. He knew that in the effect of the alcohol, in countless eyes of the opposite sex, a small friction could cause a great trouble.

  It’s not so easy to walk to the door of the nightclub, the blowing on the face fresh wind let Sheilor refreshed, but then he smelt the blowing fragrant wind and had the danger feeling. He looked up, saw three famous and precious cars parked in front of the nightclub, about seven or eight people walked down from the cars, and walked to the nightclub. The several people walking by the side were all in black suits, even figure and indifferent face, they seemed to be the kind of bodyguards.

  The walking in the middle two men and a woman dressed to the nines, the temperament was cold but reserved. That woman was dressing in red short wind coat, the graceful face had the pride and unkindness on. The two men by her side, one was dressing in the blue green formal wear, another one was dressing in the student uniform arrogantly. The only similar thing was that these several people both eyes looked straight to the forward, walked with the wind, and the eyes didn’t have any skewing.

  They were not the simple people, not walked on the common road, Sheilor didn’t want to block the road of this kind of arrogant characters, so he pulled the drunk Shielding to the side of the corridor in a hurry. But… Unfortunately, when that having pretty face but made people stay far away red dressing beauty walked by the side of them, Shielding seemed to smell the perfume from her body, he opened his that pair of blurred eyes and woke up, had a whistle at them, and said in ambiguity, “beauty, you sprayed too much DVC on…”

  The other side heard the words, all the steps stopped at the same time. The leading that man turned his back around and looked at the side of the corridor with a smile on his face, seemed to make sure who have the guts to molest his younger sister, and a very shallow callous meaning was hid in the gentle smile.
