The concert was held in PLANT's largest concert hall. Looking at the elegant decoration, it can no longer be regarded as a concert, it is more appropriate to call it a concert.
The title of the concert was to celebrate Lux's birthday. Yes, today February 5th is Lux's birthday. When Ed took the ticket Lux gave him, the scene was awkward. The fans pretended to be too careless. They didn't even know that the concert was for their birthday. I'm afraid that when I go back that day, I'm not going to be laughed to death by Lux
There was still a while before they left the venue. Ed and Uruki were in a small box on the second floor. There were probably five or six people in the box, but there were only two of them at the moment. There is a certain distance between the boxes, and if the voice is small, the left and right will not be heard. But unfortunately, the next door is very loud.
"I remember that the blue hair and the white hair are the sons of the congressmen. Are all the second generation officials like this? The quality is too poor!" Pu Mu was very dissatisfied, "They are still serving in the army, and no one recognizes them. When the doctor came out, I hung the doctor's photo in the room in 1979."
"There are still high-quality people, and we can't generalize them. Lux is also a second-generation official." As for the second half of Uruki's sentence, he couldn't complain, "Sarah's son should have recognized me, and he was bowing his head to me outside just now. ."
When Ed and Urumi came in, they passed Aslan and his happy friends, and a group of officials entered the box next door. Looking at their colorful hair, he had the illusion of dreaming back to the urban-rural border.
"Nichole, you are so rude!" I don't know which of the little friends is shouting loudly, "You can't win the championship despite the age line, and you lose to a natural person, it's a shame for our PLANT! "
"I can't help it, he's really amazing!"
"Doctor, they should be talking about the junior MS competition? Captain Lei won the championship that year, and this competition is known as the cradle of ACE." Urumi said, and suddenly became depressed, "I haven't won the championship. I really don't deserve to be an ACE..."
"What's the name of that champion? Cameyo or Camille? It's like a girl!" Everyone in the next room burst into laughter, and there was a happy air inside and outside the box.
After a while, after Aslan repeatedly shouted "pay attention to quality", the next door finally became a little quieter.
"Dr. Lingos doesn't want to join the conversation of young people?" Xia naturally sat beside him with a very kind tone, "If you focus on research and forget the fact that you are young, you will regret it at my age."
"The younger you are, the more cautious you have to be in your words and actions." Of course Ed had sensed this early, and couldn't help but want to play a prank, "I don't want to worry about the mistakes I made because of my youth a few years later."
Xia Ya looked a little surprised, but there was no response in a hurry. At this time, Haman also entered the box and sat next to Char.
"I didn't expect the doctor to have such a realization as a researcher. I only realized this after I made many mistakes." After a while, Xi Ya regained his natural attitude, "If I had known that the doctor was also a new human, I would There is no way to wait until now to have this conversation.”
To be honest, Ed doesn't really want to have any ideological exchange with Xia, nor does he want to talk to him about his ideals in life. Intuition tells him that he can't get along with him, and when dealing with NT, intuition basically equals the correct solution. He tried to change the subject: "Aznabu and Miss Kahn are inseparable, are they in love?"
"It's far more than just a lover, Haman is my spiritual partner." Xi Ya glanced at her female companion, and Haman kept his eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye since he came in, "I see the possibility of a new human being in her. Sex, it is understandable if the Doctor is also a new human."
How can this person be like Amuro, who can see the possibility of new human beings at every turn, and must understand that they are both new human beings at every turn. Is it the virtue of NT to meet each other? Ed is speechless. He neither sees any possibility nor understands it, but there is no need to betray Char, just keep silent. A cautious politician like Char would not rush to resonate, so it's good for everyone to politely keep a distance now.
Seeing that Ed was not very interested, Xiaya changed the topic: "Doctor, the dragoon system you installed on the Freedom Gundam is said to be specially designed for us adjusters. I thought so at first, until I learned about Linguistics. Dr. Si, you are also a new human, you have realized that the dragoons should be designed for us new humans at first. The real value of the dragoons can only be realized by replacing the complex calculations with the telepathy of NT. I am afraid this is the doctor. design intent.”
In a sense, Xia Ya's brain hole is really not wrong, Ed nodded, and made a look like you are really powerful: "Forgive me, PLANT's research on telepathy has been Can this be done?"
"Maybe I'm a politician in the doctor's opinion, but I'm also the director of the New Humanity Research Institute." Char's tone became low, "The Federation raised Amuro like a beast, and foolishly treated New Humanity as a Unknown superstition. But PLANT is different. Since the end of the war, I have led the research on the new human beings, and personally served as the director. With our current technical strength, it will not be long before we can complete the real dragoons in the doctor's ideal. already."
"Research?" He thought of Pru for the first time.
"Don't get me wrong, of course it's humane research. Harman and I have both personally participated in the experiment." Xia explained, "My friend, Dr. Gilbert Durandall of the Institute of Life Sciences, is an authoritative expert in genetics. , he has successfully proved that NT is not related to genes, and PLANT has no reason to conduct inhumane experiments."
"The progress of PLANT amazes me." Ed sighed, "Compared to the Earth Federation..."
"So Doctor, you also understand that gravity binds the human soul, and we must enter the real cosmic era faster." Xia glanced at the crowded audience downstairs, "Miss Lux's singing is indeed wonderful, but these Can people really appreciate it? Most of them just follow what they say. PLANT is still like this, let alone the earth?”
"The universe is not full of beautiful scenery." Ed thought about the fossil of unknown origin, "Aznab can see it every time he goes to the Supreme Council."
"That's why we need new humans." Char looked at him with burning eyes, "Seeing through the fog, perceiving danger, and leading the lambs, these are all things that only new humans can do. What we have to do is to achieve the salvation of all mankind. , the liberation of all mankind, the innovation of all mankind, the time has not waited for me.”
Why did you turn him around again! Ed can understand that as soon as they meet, NT can't help but exchange their ideals in life. Not to mention Amuro. He reckoned that if he could really meet Lala, he wouldn't need to introduce himself, there would be a wave of resonance on the opposite side. Amuro repeatedly said that he was different from them at that time, but Eddard finally has a deep understanding now.
But a politician with a deep sense of government like Xia Ya, even if he talks about these things, he must have a deeper purpose, but he doesn't necessarily understand the deep meaning if he doesn't add much political points - he has always regarded Xia Ya's skills very highly, right? He is also very self-aware. And Eddie's handful of relatives and friends didn't have a role to help him analyze this aspect, so don't expect CC's level that is inferior to him.
At this time, the lights in the concert hall were suddenly turned off, and the venue fell silent. Xia said in a low voice, "I won't disturb the doctor to enjoy the music," and then left with Harman, making Ed a little clueless, so what is this person doing? Is it just to test your attitude? Xia Ya has never been a soft-hearted person, and he is not naive enough to think that the two NTs meet to get close to each other.
But now is not the time to think about it, Lux has already taken the stage. He wasn't wearing the same costume he saw yesterday, so he would still change a lot of clothes like a concert? The accompaniment sounded, and as a senior pseudo-fan, he immediately heard that this was a song from Lux's debut.
Then he gave up thinking completely and just immersed himself in the music. What Lux said was right, she did put a lot of effort into music, and this was by no means something that could be achieved just by just playing around with her talent. With Ed's poor literary level, he really can't find any suitable description, and now he has no time to think about it.
Lux's songs are mainly love songs, and the content is very sweet. There is absolutely nothing like I love you, you don't love me, you love him, and so on. The gentle and quiet music style is matched with her ethereal and sweet voice. Although the whole concert has no explosive points, it always grabs the hearts of the audience.
From halfway through, Ed didn't look at Lux on stage again, and didn't care that she would change into a few new outfits. Instead, he leaned back on the soft chair and closed his eyes gently. He forgot Gundam, Geass, black technology, and alien fossils, just like an ordinary person dragging home exhausted after a busy day, the sun will still rise tomorrow, so steal it now Lazy Earth wouldn't explode, would it? It's okay to sleep peacefully now... ok...
"... Doctor, Doctor!" A violent shaking told Ed to wake up, and Uruki's embarrassed face appeared in front of him, "The concert is over, that, you fell asleep in the middle."
Ed got up and took a look. The audience was almost gone, and the theater was quiet. He stretched refreshedly and patted Pu Mu on the shoulder: "Go, go to the backstage."
In order to hide the embarrassment when he got the ticket, he promised to give him a birthday present, and then Lux welcomed him to the backstage after the concert. What a pity, how could Dr. Lingos, who was a virgin a month ago, know how to choose a girl's birthday present? The only gift he ever gave was a hello throw pillow for CC, but that was inappropriate for Lux.
At this time, the dog-headed strategist Pu Mu volunteered and jumped out, saying that the green returned to the green, he really caught up with Nina back then, and he was really experienced in this regard. What followed was a suffocating analysis, why the Klein family is so rich, but more polite and affectionate, and the smaller the gift, the more likely it will be used, which is rightly said. Ed foolishly bought a hairpin under Uruki's flickering, and the more he thought about it afterwards, the more wrong it was. This is too casual, isn't it? But it's too late to buy a new one.
Ed and the two were led by the staff to Lux's lounge in the backstage. Aslan and his happy friends were already inside, and the boxes of various sizes were stacked quite high next to them. They were probably gifts from them. . Huang Mao whispered something to Aslan, which made Aslan blushed, the friends laughed, and Lux showed a polite smile.
At this time, Bai Mao saw Ed and said aloud, "Ah, I snorted when I slept just now."
The air suddenly quieted down.
Only now did he understand why Uruki had that expression. I don't snoring when I sleep by myself. It seems that I slept really soundly today. I guess I heard it in the next box after the show. But he was too lazy to make such a black and white explanation, and he had nothing to worry about with these children. He took out a small gift box from his pocket and walked straight to Lux.
"Happy birthday, Lux." He put the gift lightly on her hand, "I'm sorry I did fall asleep on the way. Today's concert was very good, this is the most peaceful sleep I've had in years, Thank you."
Lux looked at him curiously for a while, looked at his sincere expression and couldn't help but chuckled: "Can I open it now?"
As Ed nodded, a delicate crescent-shaped hairpin appeared in Lux's hand. It's very similar to the one she usually wears, but it's subtly different. Lux turned her head sideways and untied her ponytails, and clipped the hairpin to the hair in front of the left side of her forehead amid the stunned expressions of her friends.
She turned to face the mirror, tilted her head left and right, then turned back and smiled brightly at Ed: "Thank you, Mr. Ed, this hairpin is very cute."
At this moment, there are two options in front of him. Lux is better at being a human being than Kongming. For a moment, just a moment, he wanted to choose the latter.
