Since that day, the rumors on the star network have tended to converge, at least to the point that as long as they don’t deliberately pay attention, they will not affect normal life.

And Ge Xiu was originally an extremely self-conscious person, and the evaluation and vision of the outside world were almost the things he cared about most, so he quickly left it behind.

Even Percy, who had troubled him again and again, seems to have deliberately avoided appearing in any occasion with him at the same time since Ge Xiu and him last time, even if it is essential. In the compulsory courses, the group and position he chooses is basically the farther away from Ge Xiu, the better.

Ge Xiu didn't notice this.

The existence of Percy has no meaning to him, neither disgust nor love.

As long as they don't know how to provoke him, they will be in peace.

In particular, Ge Xiu is still obsessed with his mecha transformation project recently. Except for class, he basically spends most of his time with Hines, so he is more lazy to pay attention to these unimportant things. NS.

After he was granted entry and exit permissions, Hines also deliberately delineated an area on the floor above the training ground as his workshop.

The facilities and tools inside are extremely sophisticated and advanced, and for Ge Xiu it is the perfect place to complete the research.

In the process of revising and perfecting the mecha transformation plan, in addition to the support of the venue and equipment, Hines's rich practical experience also helped him a lot-in many details and ideas, his opinions can be Bring new inspiration and inspiration to Ge Xiu.

It’s just that he seems to be very busy recently. He has never seen the dragon at the end most of the time, even if he appears in the training ground not many times.

And Ge Xiu devoted himself to work, and he rarely noticed the other party's leaving or staying.

During this period of time, the principal of the college had also called him out twice.

Once it was to inquire about the relationship between him and Hines-this level of temptation Ge Xiu was too lazy to bother, and after a few random prevarications, he blocked the other's mouth.

The second time is to complete the mental capacity test that was not completed at the beginning of the school year.

The school obviously spent a lot of effort on the testing and repair of the mental strength testing equipment, but it did not find any malfunctions in the equipment.

However, to be on the safe side, they still used a brand-new mental strength tester to test Ge Xiu.

But the result is still surprising.

On the screen after it has been updated, it still displays the exact same characters as when it was first detected:

【Mentality value: 0】

【grade:? 】

This is unbelievable.

Although I heard Ge Xiu's instructor talked about this, the dean really believed that after seeing it with his own eyes, it turned out that such a strange thing would happen.

And because the specific mental power value cannot be detected, even the mental power map cannot be recorded.

This made the dean and the instructor helpless, so Ge ​​Xiu had to go back and wait for the notice.

Time flies so fast that people can hardly feel the speed at which it passes, and they have easily slipped away from their fingers.

Ge Xiu was in the workshop again today.

The huge space is filled with countless parts and metal semi-finished products, and all kinds of strange-shaped tools are stacked on the ground and on the workbench. The whole workshop is confusing and dizzying-the appearance of the semi-finished products is different and the only thing is the same. Probably only its rough shape that can't be called beautiful, it really has no aesthetic taste.

In the hills stacked into machinery, the slender boy was almost swallowed by the rough and savage metal equipment behind him.

He sat on the ground, studying the drawings laid on the ground with no distraction, with a focused expression, as if everything happening outside could not disturb him.

The communicator placed aside buzzed.

Ge Xiu pressed it off.

After half a minute, the communicator buzzed again.

Ge Xiu pressed it down again.

This time it hadn't been quiet for a few seconds, and the communicator continued to vibrate unremittingly.

Ge Xiu raised his head, and there were some oil stains on one of his cheeks, which looked a little funny.

He frowned, and finally reached over and pushed the communicator off——

Before Ge Xiu put the communicator to his ear, he only heard a grumpy roar from the earpiece, the big one seemed to be able to pierce the eardrum: "Where have you been in the past few days!!! Around you Every one of the people contacted you!!! Is your communicator broken?!!!"

Ge Xiu silently moved the communicator away.

He glanced at the number shown on it—he didn't recognize it.

"Are you...?" Ge Xiu asked.

The microphone was quietly quiet for a few seconds, and then, the roar sounded again, and it became more and more angry in the receiver: "I am? I am your dad! I used my subordinate's communicator to finally get through to you. ! What are you doing?"

Admiral Drost?

Ge Xiu was taken aback, his mind immersed in mechanics and electronics seemed to be finally pulled back to reality a little at this time.

It suddenly dawned on him, and he apologized extremely sincerely: "Ah, I'm sorry, I blocked you last week."

In fact, with the deepening of the research progress, in order to prevent too much interruption, not only Admiral Drost, but also Ge ​​Xiu blocked everyone’s contact information last week-in fact, Ge Xiu wanted to turn off the communicator directly. Coming.

It's not that he has never done so.

Therefore, the dean who wanted to talk to Ge Xiu did not find him for three days, and he did not have the permission to enter Hynes’s site, so the dean who was on the verge of collapse had to send a robot to stay downstairs in his dormitory. Caught Ge Xiu back to the dormitory to supplement sleep.

As a result, after an unpleasant conversation, Ge Xiu was forbidden to turn off the communicator for more than 24 hours.

The other side of the communicator fell silent again: "..."

Admiral Drost seemed to be too lazy to be angry, but asked bluntly: "Did you really forget what day it is?"

Ge Xiu frowned: "What day?"

"..." General Drost inhaled and exhaled slowly, admonishing himself not to be angry nor angry nor angry—his body has not recovered yet—but he felt that he might be before the other person's body recovered. I'm going to be out of anger and have a heart attack.

Finally, after half a minute of calm, Admiral Drost suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said:

"Today is your coming-of-age gift!"

Ge Xiu suddenly realized: "Oh!"

In this world, the coming-of-age ceremony is often held after the 18-year-old differentiation period has arrived. Its status is extremely important and symbolizes the determination of everyone’s gender. Also, as the differentiation period comes, it is often the first estrus period, so The children of some large families often choose to announce their marriage contract at the coming-of-age ceremony, or start looking for a spouse for the heir, which makes the coming-of-age ceremony a major occasion that cannot be ignored in this society.

But Iris is different.

His period of differentiation came early.

So this led to a gap of nearly half a year between his coming-of-age ceremony and his differentiation period.

It made Ge Xiu completely forget about this matter.

Admiral Drost continued anxiously: "Your coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin in three hours. You are gone. This matter has been prepared for a long time. Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries will attend, and you and Hines · Estero’s marriage news will also be announced at this time-so you give me a hurry to come back! Do you understand?"

Ge Xiu sighed, glanced at the drawings and unfinished parts he had laid on the ground with some regret, and replied:

"I know, I know."

·

When Ge Xiu arrived, it was late.

The lights in the Drost’s villa were brightly lit, and the young people were photographed on the windows. Those invited guests seemed to have begun the usual entertainment and greetings.

As soon as Ge Xiu entered the door, he was immediately pushed into his room on the road by the housekeeper and maid, and then thrown a head over his new and decent clothes for him to change quickly.

When the replacement was over, he was pushed out the door dazedly.

The housekeeper walked quickly in front, nagging while he was coming back, it was too late, even his two brothers had already gone downstairs, his father and others were also waiting Him.

Ge Xiu frowned and followed behind him, uncomfortably tidying up the bow tie he had fastened on as he walked.

Before he took a few steps, he felt a strong force coming from his elbow, and he was caught off guard and was dragged into the branch corridor to the side.

Ge Xiu subconsciously wanted to fight back, but a familiar voice came from above his head:

"Shhh, it's me."

Ge Xiu stopped and looked up at the opponent.

Hines lowered his eyes to stare at him, his lips curled slightly indifferently, a pair of dark eyes with a cold blue in the depths, and deep eyebrows, staring intently at the young man in his arms: "How many times have you been Are you ready to attack me?"

Ge Xiu recalled the scene where the two met in the Corridor for the first time, and raised his eyebrows expressionlessly:

"If you don't always scare me."

Hines laughed lowly, and the chest clinging to Ge Xiu vibrated with laughter.

Only then did Ge Xiu realize that the two were too close. He took a step back without a trace, but was blocked by the wall behind him.

Hines let him go.

He lowered his eyes, his slender fingers with distinct joints landed on Ge Xiu's neck, flexibly picked up the crooked bow tie and tied it up again.

Ge Xiu was taken aback, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked thoughtfully at the man in front of him, his eyes darkening, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But within a few seconds, a perfectly shaped bow appeared on his neck.

Hines put down his hand, stared at him with low eyes, and smiled:

"That's it."

Ge Xiu turned his neck and felt that the previous faintly suppressed and suffocated feeling finally disappeared. This feeling of finally being able to breathe freely is really nostalgic.

He looked into the corridor where he had been drawn just now, and saw that the butler's figure had walked away. He didn't seem to notice that he had disappeared. He was still chattering, but he couldn't hear clearly from here.

Ge Xiu raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, and asked:

"So... what are you doing here? To tie me a bow tie?"

Hines raised his eyebrows: "Of course not."

He turned and walked deep in the corridor: "Today is your coming-of-age gift. As a fiance, of course I have a responsibility to give you a coming-of-age gift."

Ge Xiu stood there and didn't move: "I believe other people are also prepared, can't you just give it to me downstairs like them?"

Hines turned to look at him, and said mysteriously: "You'll know when you come with me."

Ge Xiu glanced at him suspiciously.

Finally, he still did not resist the call of curiosity, and stepped to keep up with Hines.

Hines successfully curled his lips, led him through the corridor and down the side ladder on the side of the villa, just to avoid the crowds.

Ge Xiu followed him and said silently:

"If Admiral Drost knows that you are so familiar with his house, he might be mad again."

Hines didn't look back: "Again?"

Ge Xiu suddenly closed his voice obediently-because the last time it seemed that he had just blocked the opponent.

The two of them walked out of the villa through the side door and walked along the path towards the depths of the garden. At the end of the path was a huge open field-Ge Xiu remembered that this was the place where the original owner's two brothers performed virtual exercises.

The setting sun above the head has gradually fallen, and only a little magnificent red remains on the distant horizon. The darkness belonging to the night gradually climbs out from a distance, occupying most of the sky like a splash of ink, with a little sparse star embellishment. Above, gleaming with a faint light.

The dim light enveloped the two figures.

Ge Xiu looked around, frowning in some doubt, but before he could even ask a question, Hines walked up to him, raised his hand and gently pressed it on his personal terminal.

In an instant, a faint virtual protective film was gathered from the empty venue, rippling in the air like a water wave, revealing the huge body hidden behind it.

A huge silver-white mecha stood in the center of the field, with sharp mechanical edges and corners all over the extremely tough metal mecha. From head to toe, it was the most fluid-mechanical design, which was exactly the same as the workmanship of Hines' black mecha. Just looking at it, you can imagine how terrifying the speed of such a machine can reach-the smooth silver armor cover covers the arms and chest of the mecha, hiding the deadly weapons and equipment behind it.

It looks breathtakingly beautiful.

Ge Xiu raised his eyes in amazement and stared at the mecha in front of him, and asked slowly: "Are you busy with this all this time?"

Hines stared at him and raised his lips: "Almost."

The mecha in front of you perfectly blends power and beauty. The power and lethality of machinery and the exquisite mellowness of art are so harmonious on its body, integrated and indivisible, as if it is a silver light across the sky, and it seems It was a sigh that disappeared in the wind.

Ge Xiu felt that his whole body and heart seemed to be attracted by it. He slowly walked a few steps in the direction of the mecha, and gently pressed his palm on its smooth and cold metal shell, stroking the surface of the mecha, low. Exclaimed:

"She is so beautiful."

Hines did not look up.

He lowered his eyes and stared deeply at the young man in front of him, capturing the reflection of the setting sun and the meteor of the Milky Way in the bright and bright pupils of the opponent, like a dark abyss under the sea, which can easily pull human souls into it. It is irresistible to indulge in it.

Hines' eyes were deep, and the emotions under his eyes converged depressively into a deep and quiet stream.

He echoed softly:

"--Yes."
