Su Ting looked at Ling Yi, his mood gradually stabilized.
After all, Adelaide has been with her for a long time, and the professional counseling by a psychologist has calmed her down a lot. The fact that the teacher's child is still alive is also a kind of comfort to her, so although she is still sad, it is no longer the same as before. I was devastated when I first heard the news.
Su Ting picked up the water glass a little weakly, took a few sips of warm water, and asked Ling Yi: "You said... Brother Lin raised you?"
Ling Yi: "Yes."
"I don't know, brother is not that kind of person..." Su Ting shook his head, "But it is really impossible for Yesselin to inadvertently contract the virus in the laboratory, all the protection measures in the Wilkins laboratory are the highest Specifications, the Berlin virus has been studied for so long, and there has never been a single leak.”
Ling Yi looked at her. What she just said showed that although she believed in Lin Si, she still had doubts about that matter. The woman in the Ninth District also mentioned this issue. She said that it is impossible for the virus to leak accidentally, and someone must have deliberately done it—so Lin Si logically took the blame.
"A lot of people on the ship have misconceptions about Lin, but I'm sure you don't," Adelaide said. "We all know Lins very well."
"Yes..." Su Ting was a little dazed, "Brother is a very good person, I know, it will definitely not be him, but I also think that there is no accident in Wilkins Laboratory."
As a student of Yesselin, Su Ting is of course familiar with the various equipment and regulations of the laboratory. She can say the word "impossible", which proves that the laboratory's precautionary measures are indeed very strict.
However, it is absolutely impossible for Lins to deliberately release the virus to obtain the qualifications to board the ship. If the virus was not inadvertently contaminated by Ye Selin in the laboratory, then how did it get on the spaceship
Adelaide shrugged: "I don't know, I don't know much about this aspect."
Su Ting said "hmm": "... When will senior brother come back?"
"He's with Mrs. Chen now." Ling Yi told her, "I'll be back before evening."
Su Ting smiled slightly at Ling Yili: "Let him not worry too much about me, I can start working on the project after I recover."
Ling Yi nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Sister Su Ting."
Su Ting originally wanted to wait until Lin Si came back to talk to him face to face, but her physical condition did not allow her to wait until that time—a person who had just woken up from the freezer was already extremely weak, and the blow she had suffered was too severe. Da, after a while, the whole person was very tired, and Adelaide took care of her and fell asleep.
After pressing the quilt for Su Ting, Adelaide walked to the sofa outside, made a cup of instant coffee, and slowly stirred it in the cup.
This psychiatrist from Northern Europe usually wears such a cynical smile, but when he really calms down, he has an elegant aristocratic air.
"Honey, I'll stay here, you can do your own thing." He blinked his green eyes at Ling Yi.
But Ling Yi didn't leave, not only because he didn't have anything urgent to do right now, but also because he happened to have something to ask this psychiatrist who was always elusive and hard to see.
"Can I ask you something?" he asked Adelaide.
"Of course, my job is to answer your doubts." Adelaide leaned closer to Ling Yi, resting his chin on one hand, and raised the corners of his lips. "Children of your age, of course, have many cute little puzzles..."
"But I'm not confused." Ling Yi tilted his head.
"Then you may not have grown up yet," Adelaide looked him up and down maliciously, "It may be that you have lost a lot of memory, and you are still a baby, understandable—if you are on Earth Growing up safely, you may now be in the rebellious period of youth, under the action of various hormones, worrying about love every day."
Ling Yi actually didn't know how to deal with such problems as "if we were on the earth", he really had no impression of that planet, and he didn't feel that he was missing anything—he felt that his current life on the spaceship was enough. Very good.
Adelaide said, "Then what question do you want to ask?"
"Lin Si sometimes feels very wrong..." Ling Yi said slowly, "It's because of that... something that was difficult for people to accept before the Voyager took off. How can he get better?"
"He's starting to feel wrong again?" Adelaide frowned. "I probably have to prescribe his medicine again."
After posting this little complaint, Adelaide said solemnly: "Lin has a very serious stress reaction, which can only be slowed down by psychological means, but cannot be completely eliminated—unless he can truly forgive himself one day."
"But that's not his fault at all." Ling said.
"Everyone has a different personality, and they pursue different things." Adelaide said slowly, "Lin has always positioned himself as a doctor. Just imagine, a patient who was notified of a critical illness lying in bed On the operating table, the doctor who performed the surgery tried all the methods and couldn't save him, is it the doctor's fault?"
Ling Yi shook his head.
"No one has the right to blame this doctor, but he has no way not to blame himself—if he can do better, can he prevent a life from dying?" Adelaide smiled, "You With Asian blood, there is a saying in ancient China called "the heart of the doctor's parents", which expresses this kind of mood. At that time, Lin Si was indeed able to save everyone, but the voyager set sail for himself, Forcibly took away the entire laboratory and abandoned the lives of hundreds of millions of people on the earth."
"So he only needs to look at the stern of the spacecraft, the sea of stars, and he can see the blood debt piled up by the lives of hundreds of millions of people—who can he blame? The Voyagers? But the Voyagers occupy the role of 'guarding human civilization'." The moral high ground, who can blame it for its cold decision?"
Adelaide shrugged helplessly: "No one did anything wrong, but the tragedy happened like that. Hundreds of millions of our compatriots struggled and died on that desperate planet. No one can accept this. After the third-generation virus treatment agent was developed, almost all the participating laboratory personnel chose to sleep indefinitely—that is, they would be thawed unless the spaceship needed them especially, which was close to suicide— Understandably, if it were me, I would never be able to let it go."
"Then how can he get better?"
Adelaide said in a low voice, "Sometimes, some things will accompany a person's life."
"Then will he live in pain forever?" Ling Yi lowered his eyes.
Adelaide smiled, grabbed Ling Yi's hand, and unfolded it.
Ling Yi looked at the faint lines on his palm.
"However, human life is always moving forward." Adelaide's fingertips touched Ling Yi's palm and slid forward on the palm lines, "The old days are gradually moving away, and we always have a future to look forward to." .”
"Lin Si is not a weak person. On the contrary, his ability to bear is stronger than most people, so you don't have to worry." Adelaide put his fingers together with Ling Yi's one by one, with a kind voice Ancient and mysterious, erratic, but full of tenderness, like a pastor's prayer: "So, those pains that cannot be resolved, we leave them to eternal time."
"Then I don't have to do anything?" Ling Yi said after a while of silence.
"Actually, your existence is enough." Adelaide let go of his hand and blinked, "If I have a little baby like you, then what pain in this world can defeat me? "
Ling Yibian pursed his mouth.
Adelaide laughed.

When Lin Si returned to the room, he saw Ling Yi flipping through an e-book.
Ling Yi doesn't know when he developed this hobby—especially some classical and literary poems and novels.
—Lings, whose life is filled with professional literature, is not very able to appreciate those things.
However, when he sat next to Ling Yi, Ling Yi immediately put down the reading interface, his whole body was boneless, and he leaned on him, his arms firmly wrapped around his shoulders.
"What's the matter?" Lin Si asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No more..." Ling Yi's voice has not changed, it is soft and sweet, "Have you solved your material problem?"
"Not yet, Madam asked me to talk about another matter." He said to Ling, "Do you know Africa?"
Ling nodded: "On Earth."
"Before the advent of the Age of Discovery, almost every continent developed a well-formed civilization, but Africa has never had one."
Ling nodded.
"Because its natural environment and climate limit the development of civilization, there is no land suitable for farming, and there are no animals that can be domesticated. Although it is rich in resources, it does not have the conditions for the emergence of civilization—whether it is agricultural civilization or nomadic civilization. So no matter How rich the resources are, they have always stayed in the most primitive tribal form, relying on collection to survive."
Ling Yi listened quietly.
"Madam thinks we're in a different kind of Africa now."
Ling Yi frowned her beautiful eyebrows: "Then what should we do?"
"We may have to be divided into two parts in the future. One part will stay in the base to reproduce and preserve the achievements of our civilization, and the other part will embark on the long voyage again to find new planets that are more suitable for our survival, just like the Age of Discovery."
Ling nodded a little: "Can we play in the universe again?"
"Would you rather stay on the ground or go sailing?" Lins asked.
Ling Yi thought about it for a while, and finally hugged Lin Si's arm tightly: "As long as Lin Si is here..."
There was a slight smile in Lin Si's eyes, and he hugged Ling Yi back.
The ground is a boring life day after day, and the voyage is an endless lonely wandering, but it seems that as long as this little guy is there, the unknown future will be able to radiate new vitality from the dead silence.
