Like a firefly, live a short but brilliant life.

Liuying is not afraid of death, but this time, she wants to try to live.

"An Ming, I..."

The words she wanted to say were stuck on her lips. Liuying covered her chest and panted violently. The voice she had heard countless times in her dreams kept echoing in her mind——

"The second rule of the cyborg is not to leak any information."

Liuying's face suddenly turned pale, and sweat dripped from her temples. She pulled up her wrist held by An Ming and stuffed her slightly cold little hand into his palm.

The familiar warmth brought her spiritual courage. At this moment, the will of "Liuying" surpassed the constraints of dreams, and her eyes full of rosy clouds looked at An Ming sincerely.

"I have something to say to you."

"I'm always here. If you're tired, go and rest first, and then tell me properly."

An Ming looked at Liuying with some heartache. Maybe Liuying still needs a little time, and he is very good at waiting.

Liuying pursed her thin lips and felt the warmth in her palms. Inexplicable feelings kept growing in her heart, but she didn't know what they were.

In terms of combat, she was An Ming's teacher and a master of swordsmanship, as his guide to becoming a Molten Knight.

But in life, or more accurately, on the road to becoming a human, she was more like a newborn child. An Ming taught her a lot and gave her the most important name.

She was Molten Knight A07, a modified person who was taught to obey the Empire countless times in that cold dream, but now... just now, she was just "Liuying".

At this moment, An Ming was greater than the Empire.

Liuying put her hand on her chest and felt her heart beating, "I'm not good at expressing my ideas, and no one has ever been willing to listen to my ideas."

"There is only one means I can use."

The flames that came from nowhere wrapped around Liuying's delicate body, bright but not hot, on the contrary, you can feel the gentle warmth, just like Liuying's true heart under layers of protection.

Liuying turned her back to Anming, and as the flames faded, her fair back was exposed, and the broken lines like fireflies spread like spider webs.

Her eyes were more determined than Anming had ever seen.

"That is to show you all of me."

——Everything about Liuying.

The genetic modification plan was originally a byproduct of the experiment with Molten Knight, but in the process of continuous adaptation with Molten Knight, it was found that the modified people had a natural advantage over ordinary humans - strong adaptability.

Model A modified people were the first product of the plan, a total of 100 people, and they were connected to the collective network called [Beehive] at the moment of birth.

In the dream woven by the beehive, they accepted everything about the battle, and with absolute loyalty to the empire, they became the first [weapon] to control the Molten Knight to fight.

The rules of the modified people were also imprinted in the deepest part of the mind at the beginning, just like life, which was an absolutely irresistible order.

But Liuying is a defective product. After countless dreams, her connection with the hive is still only 50%. Her excellent adaptability prevents her from being destroyed directly.

But she also suffers from the pain of "loss of entropy", a disease that will disappear completely at any time.

When she woke up from a dream of the hive, Liuying was horrified to find that her hands were gradually becoming transparent, as if they would disappear at any time.

Surprisingly, she was not afraid, but relieved.

She was born to die as fuel, so is it a relief to disappear like this?

Liuying is different from other cyborgs. After receiving an order, she will think first instead of coldly executing it. After her first encounter with An Ming, the influence of dreams on her became weaker and weaker, which eventually led to her being deprived of the right to drive the Molten Knight.

This is why Caesar sent her to the Royal Court Academy to meet An Ming.

"This is all I have."

After the initial firmness, Liuying's eyes, as beautiful as the sunset glow, showed a little tension. The status of the cyborg in Gramer was extremely low... or even no status. They were the lowest-level "tools" and could only be tools to fulfill human orders. They had never been recognized by humans since their birth.

Was she really qualified to approach such a dazzling man?

Known as the future of the Imperial Academy and a rare genius in the empire, An Ming seemed to be born in the sun, dazzling and difficult to approach.

She was just a firefly in the dark, and she didn't know when this weak light would be completely swallowed by the darkness.

"It's too unfair that you're the only one saying that," An Ming held Liuying's wrist and looked at the pair of bright eyes he had always liked. At this moment, Liuying turned her head slightly like a shy kitten, and her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated."I will also show you all of me, so that's fair."

An Ming smiled and put the shawl on Liu Ying. His opinion of the girl did not change at all. Identity has never been a problem, because the heart has never changed.

Liu Ying took a few steps back in surprise and shyness, took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

"Yeah!"

Fireflies surrounded the two of them. Liu Ying realized that her behavior just now was a bit bold. Her fair cheeks were stained with a faint blush. She subconsciously began to avoid An Ming's sincere sight. If she continued to look, she would be melted.

Liu Ying didn't know why it became like this. Her heartbeat was fast and her cheeks were hot. Obviously, this would not happen when she was alone with An Ming before.

Is she sick?

Liu Ying comforted herself that it should be just a small cold, no big problem.

The two returned the same way. When passing a store, Liu Ying subconsciously stopped. The transparent glass window reflected a pretty face and a longing look at the exquisite cakes in the cabinet.

It was a roll cake that looked like an oak root, and it didn't taste very good, so a large number of them were piled up in the corner, but few people bought them.

The price was not expensive, and it was even affordable compared to the expensive pastries next to it. The strawberry cake next to it was five times more expensive.

"Boss, I want two."

An Ming pushed the door open and pointed at the oak roll cake. Liu Ying, who was hiding behind him, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and gently pulled his sleeve without saying anything.

This amount of consumption was nothing to An Ming. The monthly subsidy for the swordsmanship class alone was a large sum, not to mention that as the symbol of the academy today, various scholarships were completely inexhaustible.

"Thank you for your patronage~"

The clerk smiled brightly at An Ming. Seeing the handsome boy at work made her feel much better. However, the taste of the oak roll cake was always a bit strange, and few people would buy it specifically. Most of them were sent to the slums to sell after the expiration date.

After leaving the store, Liuying pursed her lips and stared at the cake roll bag in Anming's hand. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said softly, "I... I have never eaten cake."

"That's great, let's eat together."

Anming rarely eats cake. The last time he remembered was when his father celebrated his birthday. Since he got used to being alone, he has never eaten cake again.

Cake always symbolizes reunion and laughter. Anming doesn't think there is a moment worth remembering like that, and there is no reason to buy cake.

He saw Liuying's beautiful eyes light up like fireflies, and the joy at the corners of her lips was even more difficult to hide. The sound of her footsteps became much lighter, as if she was playing a clear piano piece.

Maybe this is the reason.

Liuying is a cute girl who writes her thoughts on her face. When she is unhappy, she will puff her mouth in a sullen manner, and when she is happy, she will bloom with a flower-like smile.

If there is any happiness, for Liuying, the journey home with the cake is the happiest moment. There is no trouble on this road, only pure beauty.

It would be nice if we could continue along this road.
