Salvation Hidden in the Light

I read the two-male story in one sitting. [There are always some shady secrets hidden in federal prison surveillance. When Shen Jinghan woke up in the isolation room for the 17th time, the alarm sound of the brain monitor pierced his eardrums - the danger value was 120, which was close to the red line of "treatment". He licked the blood on the corner of his lips, looked at the figure in military uniform outside the one-way glass, and laughed. Ling Che, the youngest brain authority in the Federation, the person who personally sent him to prison, with red eyes at this moment, wrote a line of words on the monitoring screen: [Neuron synchronization experiment, volunteer: Ling Che] No one knows about Shen Jinghan's "crimes" that were nailed to the law - the official who embezzled military pay died in his mistress's residence, the director who monopolized food prices suffocated at the banquet, and the researcher who tampered with data died in an accident... It was all a cover-up to clear the way for Ling Che. Until that neuronal illusion, seven personality fragments faced off in a secret room, and the eight ballots popped out of the ballot box had the same answer written on them. "So," Shen Jinghan pinched the ballot paper with "Ling Che" written on it, his fingertips turned white, "You inserted yourself into this atonement game because you want to take the blame for me?" Ling Che didn't say anything, but just unbuttoned the collar of his military uniform, revealing the scar under his collarbone that was in line with his heart - that's where Shen Jinghan blocked the debris for him during the explosion. "Shen Jinghan," his voice was hoarse, "your crime is to protect me, my punishment is to wait for you." Later, people in the federal prison spread rumors that the prisoner who had been sentenced to a heavy sentence was actually "taken" home by Colonel Ling. In the small ship repair shop next to the star port, Ling Che, who was wearing work clothes, always closed the stall in the evening. Although his temples were stained with a few wisps of frost, his eyes were still clear. He looked at Shen Jinghan who came out of the room. He was polishing the repaired engine with the same neatness as when he was commanding a starship. Someone asked Ling Che: "Is it worth it?" He turned his head to look at the bright star trails in the distance, and the silver ring on his ring finger flashed - it was forged with the saber Shen Jinghan had hidden. "I've been waiting for fifty years," he smiled. "The rest of my life is just a matter of waiting for a few more fifty years."
