Chapter 205 Admiral Beta is the romantic male partner (31)
Lin Shen soon arrived outside the cafe. The cool night breeze gently brushed across his cheeks, taking away a trace of fatigue.
He knew that there wouldn't be too many people in the cafe at this time. After all, most people wouldn't choose to drink coffee at night for fear that it would affect their sleep.
However, Lin Shen's trip was not to taste coffee, but to discuss an important matter.
Pushing open the door of the cafe, Lin Shen looked around.
The lighting in the store was soft and the atmosphere was quiet. Only a boy by the window caught his attention.
The boy looked out the window, as if thinking about something, with a slightly deep expression. Lin Shen walked over gently, and the boy noticed someone approaching and raised his head.
He smiled, and his slightly dull features became more colorful. He said softly, "You're here."
Lin Shen nodded slightly, then sat down opposite the boy.
At this time, the waiter came over and asked politely, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"
Lin Shen raised his head and said calmly: "A glass of water will be fine, thank you."
The waiter looked at the man twice, his face slightly red, his eyes a little evasive, and then he hurried away.
Xiao Qiyu, who was sitting opposite, witnessed the whole process. There was not much expression on his face, but his hands were tightly clenched around the cup.
Lin Shen looked at Xiao Qiyu and asked, "I heard that you are in the cannon fodder department?"
Xiao Qiyu nodded, opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
He had so many things he wanted to say to Lin Shen at the beginning, but now when he saw him, he only felt deep comfort.
Xiao Qiyu has experienced two worlds and completed tasks in both worlds, both of which he played the role of cannon fodder.
As the mission progressed, his emotional fluctuations became less and less, and he gradually became indifferent.
He once asked his system why it chose him to complete these tasks?
The system hesitantly told him that someone had exchanged an opportunity for him.
He knew without thinking that the person was Lin Shen.
He is not stupid. Although he was not specially trained as an heir by the royal family, he did not miss out on any necessary education.
As a prince, he had a strong learning ability and was able to quickly master everything, whether it was riding and archery, literature or the art of governing the country.
In terms of talent, he has never lost to his brother, but he knows in his heart that the royal family only needs one crown prince, so he never shows off his talents in a high-profile manner and never shows off.
He is not a simple man, he is a man of deep thoughts and knows how to keep a low profile in the game of power.
However, after meeting Lin Shen, everything became different.
He could see that although Lin Shen always seemed to dislike him on the surface, he was actually very indulgent towards him.
At that time, he understood that in this way, he could stay with Lin Shen.
Even though he had many secrets, he wouldn't ask unless Lin Shen told him.
Everyone has their own secrets, and he respects Lin Shen's privacy.
Until the moment of his death, he had no regrets about dying for Lin Shen.
At that moment, the thing calling itself the system bound him, and he suddenly understood what Lin Shen's secret was.
A secret joy welled up in his heart. This was a secret only he knew. He accepted the system binding without hesitation, looking forward to the day when he would meet Lin Shen again.
At that moment, he felt an indescribable connection between himself and Lin Shen, as if their destinies were closely intertwined by some mysterious force.
He knew that from now on, he would no longer be the Third Prince, but an entity with system power.
He was looking forward to their meeting. He was willing to wait no matter how long it took. As long as he could see Lin Shen again, he was willing to pay any price.
He had been to two worlds, and in each world there was a person named Lin Shen, which not only surprised him but also made him curious.
At first, he thought it was just a coincidence of having the same name, but when he saw the two identical faces, he began to wonder if there was a deeper connection behind it.
Although their personalities were different from his Lin Shen, he was still very excited and felt lucky to meet a "Lin Shen" in the first world.
However, that Lin Shen did not recognize him and seemed to be just a character in the setting, which made him feel strange and regretful.
This was true in both worlds, which left him completely puzzled.
He knew that he and Lin Shen were both taskers, but Lin Shen used his own appearance, while he existed in another identity.
This made him realize that he and Lin Shen were different.
He once thought that meeting the real Lin Shen would be a distant thing.
But when he came to this world and heard the news about Lin Shen—the admiral of the Federal Empire, a powerful beta—a hint of anticipation welled up in his heart.
Finally, he met him, and even more fortunately, Lin Shen remembered him.
At that moment, he knew that this person was Lin Shen, whom he had been looking for. He wanted to cry and vent his emotions, but after experiencing so many hardships in the world, he calmed down instead.
Now, he was sitting face to face with Lin Shen, but he seemed a little restrained in his heart.
His heart was filled with thousands of words, but he didn't know where to start the moment he opened his mouth.
There were complex emotions flashing in his eyes, including the joy of reunion, as well as uncertainty and fear about the future.
He wanted to tell Lin Shen about his thoughts and feelings, but he was worried that all this would seem too abrupt, and that this was just a dream that would shatter at the slightest touch.
He sat quietly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of the cup, his eyes occasionally stealing glances at Lin Shen opposite him.
Finally, he took a deep breath, trying to break the silence, his voice soft but firm: "Lin Shen, you remember me, right? I am... I am looking for you."
There was a hint of trembling in his words, but his eyes were full of determination. He knew that no matter what happened next, he was ready.
Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, then he narrowed his eyes, looked at Xiao Qiyu with a smile, and said in a joking tone: "Xiao Qiyu, why have you become stupid?"
Lin Shen himself didn't understand it either. He had clearly asked Xiao Qiyu this question just now, so why did Xiao Qiyu ask such a question again?
But Lin Shen didn't know the fear in Xiao Qiyu's heart at this moment. He was afraid that all this was just a bubble, and all the good things would disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Qiyu loosened his grip on the cup, and with a hint of grievance in his voice, he said softly: "Shen Shen, I miss you so much..."
These words seemed to touch a string, causing Lin Shen's heart to pause.
From today until just now, Xiao Qiyu has always given him a very strange feeling, as if he was a little different from before, which made Lin Shen feel both familiar and unfamiliar.
But now, Xiao Qiyu's appearance and that aggrieved voice made Lin Shen gradually find the shadow of the Xiao Qiyu of that year.
