This winter is very special for people in the area of Feimu City.
Because of that catastrophe, December 27 every year is designated as a global day of remembrance, the first time in 5714, and the second time this year. According to the regulations, there will be three days off. Of course, this is only for the majority of the population. For those in the Military Department, the General Government, and the Security Building, these three days mean—
Meetings, meetings, and meetings.
Participants include top-level decision makers from the three parties, members of the summit think tank, and experts from major research institutes on the planet. Every year, a city is selected as the meeting venue, and the discussion content includes military, policy, economy, humanities, etc. in the radiation area of the city.
The place to pick this year is Feimu City.
On the 26th, 3,000 air-land dual-purpose shuttles landed on the tarmac of Feimu City, immediately changed to land mode, and drove into the central city along the Chengcheng Avenue in a disciplined manner. The participants stayed near the conference center.
In the past few days, you can see guards standing upright in every street in the main city of Feimu City. There is one every 100 meters, wearing uniforms with waist and leggings, and long boots, like sharp blades that close in the cold light.
They only care about safety and do not interfere with people's daily travel.
As a result, the liveliness of Feimu City has increased in the past few days. Except for the designated conference center area, other places have begun to decorate the memorial day, and the atmosphere of the holiday is extremely strong.
"I didn't say that, because of the liveliness, where is our central meeting area? It looks like the central cemetery of Feimu City." Shao Heng couldn't help complaining when he came over to report to Chu Si on the duty of the security forces.
"You have said this sentence five times." Chu Si replied while signing the document handed over to him.
"Hey—it really doesn't fit."
Shao Heng shook his head and complained, he supported the desk with both hands and looked around at random, and finally his eyes fell on a pot of green plants in the corner of the desk. He asked casually, "What is this?"
Chu Si's hand paused, glanced at it, and said calmly, "Catnip."
Shao Heng made an "oh", not noticing his expression, and continued: "It looks quite refreshing, why didn't I put it on the desk over there? Only the executive officer's office has it? The green plants in this hotel are graded. , the difference in treatment is too obvious, isn't it?"
"It's not in the hotel." Chu Si said.
"Huh?" Shao Heng was taken aback, "Where did that come from?"
Chu Si glanced blankly at the pot of lush green leaves, "Say Yang bought it."
Shao Heng was stunned for a moment, then looked around subconsciously, "Mr. Yang is here? Didn't their training camp arrive later?"
Chu Si looked back and browsed the documents, and replied in a calm and natural tone, "Before forced buying and selling was stuffed in my office, this time I came to the meeting, I don't know who was busy when packing, so I took this with me on the flight. shuttle."
Shao Heng thought about the meticulous personalities of the secretaries in the fifth office, and felt that they could indeed do such a thing. But that's not the point, the point is...
"Why did Mr. Yang buy catnip?" Shao Heng thought it was very miraculous, after all, Chu Si didn't keep cats either.
Yeah, what are you doing
When Sae Young put the catnip on his table at the time, Chu Si was also stunned and asked subconsciously, "Why are you buying this?"
Then, Mr. Yang, who paid close attention to money, returned Chu Si's words to him as he had said, "Hey boyfriend."
Chus: "..."
But it's okay to say this in private, can you tell Shao Heng? Obviously not. So Chu Si pretended to be deaf and dumb, and when he didn't hear it, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that Mr. Shao wants to retire?"
"..." Shao Heng said in your heart that your topic was too obvious, but after all, it was the boss, and it wasn't easy to argue, so he pinched his nose and followed the words, "Yes, but after listening to Miller, the hospital was thinking about retiring. I have to re-employ him again. I don't think he will have to rest in a few years. Fortunately, he is in good health now. He sat down for four hours today and didn't see any discomfort. "
Chus nodded.
Seeing that he still had two documents to read, Shao Heng simply sat down on the reception sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, picked up a book on the armrest and read, "Never Land?"
He casually flipped through two pages, "Gods and ghosts, poetry stories? Are you still reading this, sir?"
Chu Si reminded without raising his head: "Look at the author before you speak."
Shao Heng turned back to the cover, "Este Cabel? Is that the lady Este Cabel I know?"
"if not?"
"I have only read her research works on intelligent systems, and I don't know that she has published such."
"Neither." Chu Si said, "Just this one, I had it bound."
When Esther Cabel was transferred out of the sterile ward, he left the stack of paper for writing and drawing on the windowsill and did not take it with him. Later, it was transferred to Chu Si.
During that time, she often stayed in Jiang Qi's ward, and when Chu Si ran into it, he asked her, "Why don't you write it again?"
Esther responded very willfully, saying that after writing, she found that her memory was okay, and these things should not be forgotten, so those papers were no longer useful.
In view of the eccentric nature of the research group, Chu Si decided to keep the stack of paper for her, and because the loose paper was easy to be missing and lost, he simply found someone to bind it into a booklet. Lest Ms. Cabell suddenly regret it one day and feel that her memory is not good enough.
Shao Heng was about to turn two pages, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the floor-to-ceiling window. On the avenue leading to the conference center, a team of shuttles painted in the logo color of "United Elite Training Camp" was heading here, "Eh? Yang Seems to be here, sir."
Chu Si raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Yeah", then quickly signed the last document and said to Shao Heng, "I'm done, I have nothing to do here."
Shao Heng: "..."
Seeing his complicated expression, Chief Chu felt his conscience and forced himself to introspect. He felt that his tone just now seemed a bit inhumane, as if he was banging people away. So he paused and added, "As usual, there is half a day of free time after 5 pm. You can take Mr. Shao out for a walk. Now it's half an hour before 5 pm, why don't you go back and make arrangements?"
Shao Heng: "..." If you put it another way, I can't hear it
But after all, he was not the kind of club that Childe Feng was, and he wouldn't make fun of himself at such a time. He immediately followed his heels and left the office with the documents.
Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Chu Si's office from outside. With that kind of casual knocking, you could tell who was coming when you heard it.
Sure enough, Sae Yang's voice sounded outside the door, "Sir, I'm here to report the training of the team in the Security Building."
Chu Si thought who was lying, but said in his mouth, "Come in,"
The door opened and closed, Sae Yang had already walked to the desk while taking off his gloves, leaned over and kissed Chu Si, "It's a bit late, is the official business done?"
"Just blasted Shao Heng away." Chu Si looked at his eyes and said, "It's almost there."
"Let's go then."
Chu Si was taken aback, "Where are you going?"
Sae Young stretched out his hand to him and said with a smile, "Can I invite my superior to go out for dinner and have a meeting by the way?"
Just as Chu Si was about to open his mouth, Sae Yang raised his hand to stop it, "Wait a minute dear—"
"how?"
Sae Young picked up the pot of catnip and shook it in front of Chu Si's nose, "Smell it before answering."
Chus: "..." Neurotic
Seeing Chu Si's indescribable expression, Sae Yang laughed and put down the catnip, "After a day's work, the expression has been officialized, I'll adjust it for you."
After speaking, he supported the table lazily and asked with a smile, "Are you going?"
Chu Si pushed the light brain, nodded and stood up to get the coat, "Go."
By convention, the formal meeting lasted from the 27th to the 29th. But on the 26th, after all the preparations for the meeting are done and the affairs of the day are handled, there will be half a day of activities, which is equivalent to half a day of vacation for all participants.
Of course, this half-day is for people like Chu Si who are involved in official business. Other participants have a lot more freedom. For example, research experts like Jiang Qi and the others are not subject to official business restrictions. They just settled in the hotel. Well, I was taken out by the receptionist.
Before leaving, Jiang Qi came to Chu Si's office for a walk, and said that he came to condolence to his son. In fact, he was sitting on the sofa and enjoying the scene of his son's busy feet not touching the ground, and listening to Chu Si again. Si said a bunch of nonsense to various people without blinking his eyes, and then left.
In other words, he just came to see the fun.
When Jiang Qi and his group of researchers were free for almost a day outside, Chu Si and Sae Yang had just been able to go out.
Before going out, he also had a fight with the captain of the guard, Roger, because they didn't want to bring too many guards. The final result of the wrangling was that Chu Si simply found a bottle of skin shaping agent and adjusted himself and Sae Young.
The appearance has been modified, and it is not easy to be recognized outside.
Finally, when Roger still insisted, Sae Young gave him a knowing blow: "To be honest, two guards are still ten guards, or even fifty guards, the difference is not really big. What happened, I suspect we were the ones who saved them."
Roger: "..."
While the captain of the guard did not push over, Chu Si dragged Sae Yang away.
"Don't be provocative." Chu Si said when he got on the private shuttle.
Sae Young started the shuttle and said while locating the destination, "Am I provocative?"
Chu Si: "... When I didn't say it." He actually knew that Sae Yang definitely didn't mean it at the time, because he said it very calmly.
"Am I wrong?"
Chu Si thought about Roger's aggrieved face and smiled: "No, I actually think so too."
Sae Young raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.
The shuttle drove into the road and gradually accelerated. Chu Si asked, "Where are we going?"
"Butterfly Island."
Butterfly Island is close to Feimu City, and it only takes more than half an hour for the shuttle to go there. Chu Si is very satisfied with this destination. Maybe he stayed in the chaotic Xixi City when he was a child, and when he grows up, he always lives in a place close to the center of the political power. A comfortable and slow-paced town like Butterfly Island is the best for him. 's adjustment.
What's more, there was the Moncaminfi restaurant on Butterfly Island, and he really wanted to go there again.
When Sae Young drove the shuttle directly to the parking lot of Starry Night Avenue, Chu Si felt that the tacit understanding between the two of them was indeed terrifyingly high.
This time, the Xingye Avenue was much more lively than the previous one. Maybe it was the time to get off work and tomorrow was a holiday. Maybe the tripartite federation chose Feimu City, which drove the flow of people here.
When they got off the bus, it was already dark, and the shops on both sides of the street were lit up, mostly in a relaxing warm yellow, which seemed lively and warm.
The temperature on Butterfly Island is lower than that in the center of Feimu City. It has a deep winter atmosphere. When Chu Si opened his mouth to speak, there was a thin mist in front of his nose.
Sae Young gave a "hmm", glanced at Monka Mingfei not far from the opposite side, and then added, "Only if there are seats available."
"If I had known, I would have reserved a seat first." Chu Si said.
"If I remember correctly, more than half an hour ago, you didn't plan on going on a date with me. You would have known where it came from." Sae Yang raised his chin slightly and looked at him.
Chu Si looked at him with some amusement, then waved at him, motioning him to stop raising his chin and come over a little.
Sae Yang raised his eyebrows and bowed his head slightly, Chu Si pulled down the scarf and kissed the corner of his mouth. Then he closed the car door behind him and took the lead to walk across the street. Just two steps away, Sae Young followed him and walked side by side with him.
In this kind of place, everyone's rhythm will become a little slow, walking like a walk, speaking in a leisurely tone, not hurried or slow. People on the street are like this, with Chu Si and Sae Yang unconsciously slowing down, as if they were hanging out.
The weather was very cold, everyone was wearing coats and scarves, chatting and laughing with the people around them in the white mist, and no one would pay too much attention to who others were doing.
But even so, Chu Si was caught by the two people walking in front.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him stunned for a moment, Sae Yang followed his line of sight—
I saw Jiang Qi and Esther turn from the street corner in front, walking side by side in the direction of Moncaminfi. They didn't seem to notice Chu Si and Sae Yang who were walking here because of the obstruction of people coming and going, but even if they caught a glimpse, they might not be able to react immediately. After all, they made fine adjustments with skin plasticizers.
But in fact, Chu Si and Sae Yang were not far from them, only a few steps behind them, and even could hear what Esther said.
"I haven't been here for a long time, but it was a bit unexpectedly lively today. I don't know if I can sit where I used to sit." Esther turned to Jiang Qi and said, "Tell me you haven't been here since then. Bar?"
Jiang Qi tilted his head to look at her for a while, then said "um", "No."
He was wearing a coat and was tall and straight. When he spoke, there was also a thin white mist in front of him, which was almost the same as when he passed by the orphanage. It seems that he is still in his prime, and there is still a long, long way to go.
The hospital has issued the examination results. The physical data of the group of people who survived by chance are lower than ordinary people, which means that their remaining lifespan is very unstable, maybe only ten or twenty years.
For a long time, Chu Si was very concerned about this result, but Jiang Qi and Esther were very open to them, and even comforted Chu Si in turn, allowing him to gradually adapt and accept the result.
There is never any worry about this in them, and more often they always look like they are enjoying life at ease.
As it is now, discussing a dinner with a mild smile.
Esther seemed relieved to hear Jiang Qi's answer, "That's great, remember? I mentioned to you that Monka Mingfei has another name."
"Remember, you said the name was a little long."
Esther laughed, "Yes, I'll tell you later."
Chu Si walked in the back not far or not, and after listening to it, he tilted his head and whispered to Sae Yang, "It's all nonsense from beginning to end."
Sae Young couldn't help laughing, "Honey, anyone can say this, but you..."
Chu Si glanced at him, and then raised his chin at a restaurant opposite Mon Kaminfei, "Forget it, don't make trouble, how about going to the restaurant opposite?"
Sae Young shrugged casually.
When crossing the street, Chus turned his head and glanced at Mon Cummingfei.
Jiang Qi didn't tell the truth just now. Not only did he come to Monkaminfi many times, but he also sat in the old seat that Esther said every time. The so-called "another name that was a little long" on the wall was his. Must have seen it countless times.
He denied following Ester's words, probably just to protect her excitement and anticipation.
Behind the glass door of the restaurant, Jiang Qi and Esther entered the door and said a few words to the waiter, and then were led to the innermost position near the floor-to-ceiling windows as they wished.
Chu Si retracted his gaze and entered the new restaurant with Sae Yang.
Although the layout of this restaurant is not as unique as that of Moncaminfi, it is very private. It is set up in separate compartments. Once the door is closed, other people can be shielded from the outside.
The layout of the cubicle is very homely, the chair is a soft armchair with a high back, a floor lamp with warm yellow in the corner, the heavy curtains are hooked up diagonally, and there is a pot of tuberose by the window.
This kind of environment is too easy to associate with words such as "warm" and "quiet", so the whole person becomes relaxed or even lazy.
Halfway through the meal, there was a touch of white in Chu Si's peripheral vision.
He turned his head and looked out the window. After more than half a month of cold weather, it finally snowed. It was quiet and long. The people who came and went on the street stopped, subconsciously reached out to pick it up, and then turned around with a smile and said something to the people around them.
The backdrop for them was the large, bright windows of the shops on the street, many of which were sprayed with similar paintings and the same words—
I love you very much.
On this anniversary last year, perhaps thinking of the unprepared feeling of loneliness when disaster strikes, many people invariably said this to those around them when the bell rang on the anniversary. Relatives, friends, and lovers, one infects the other, and after continuous fermentation, finally became the slogan of this anniversary.
Before this year's anniversary, such decorations and arrangements were made everywhere early. Thousands of cities and countless crisscrossing streets were decorated with affectionate affection on this night, so that the whole world became warm and moving. stand up…
A few young people didn't know what to say, they laughed and chased past the window.
After a while, a pair of old people also supported each other in the fine snow and slowly passed by the window.
Chu Si's eyes moved, looked at Sae Yang, and suddenly asked without end: "Do you feel unaccustomed to clearing those experimental tissues?"
After all, for him, he has been a successful experimental body since he can remember, and he has never experienced what it feels like to be chased by time. Now he suddenly falls back into the world of ordinary people, I don't know if there will be any regrets.
Sae Yang's hand holding the cup stopped for a while, and then, those beautiful eyes bent up, with the warm light of the floor lamp in them. He touched Chus' glass and said, "No, I'm actually very happy."
I'm so happy to grow old with you. In this way, when turning into a grave, I can say to you: I love you for a lifetime.
Chu Si suddenly understood the meaning of Ester's words - some things will be remembered even without pen and paper.
For example "I love you".
There are always thousands of ways to express this sentence, every day, every hour, every moment, in every different corner—
Just like Chus replied: "When I'm old..."
Like Sae Young said, "I'm very happy."
It's like a young couple hugging on a street corner; while Esther is sitting in Mon Cummingferry, pointing to the words on the wall and saying it to Jiang Qi;
A little further away, Shao Heng made tea for the old man and rambled on him to pay attention to his body; Admiral Medela communicated with his daughter;
On the other side of the planet, in the land base of the elite training camp, Tang and the others who had been born and died laughed and clinked glasses and ate.
In the vast space, Carlos Blake sat down beside the bed, punched the picture of his wife and daughter on the bedside table and said: Good night, day 29128, I still miss you very much.
…
The sun is still clean, and the galaxy is still brilliant.
The world is still moving forward slowly in a long and affectionate way.
So time flies, to witness all the eternity and immortality in the human world in the long years.
