"If you want to see me, I can come see you anytime."
“Whether it’s freshness or inspiration, I’m glad you’re finding a way to live your life that feels comfortable in this time and start anew.”
"Me? I'm fine," Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "I like this feeling of being unrestrained and studying what I like. Especially when I sit here, I find that I can always Some special inspirations arise inadvertently... Of course, it could also be my misunderstanding. It’s just because I’ve been on earth for a long time that I mistakenly mistake freshness for inspiration.”
"…because of your fiancée?"
The two have been best friends since they were students, and both majored in finance. After graduation, Lu Xiaoqiao took over the family business—the stall of the Cryogenic Rights Protection Foundation. Yang Fangfang, who also graduated from a prestigious school, readily accepted her invitation to become her assistant.
"You said that Academician Lu suddenly called you to Mars this time. What might be the reason?"
Looking at Lu Xiaoqiao, who frowned slightly, Yang Fangfang said a little aggrievedly.
Looking at the girl sitting opposite him with a smile, Lu Zhou couldn't help but reveal the smile of his old father.
"Start over..."
"...Sorry, I almost forgot that you didn't know that I was a little abrupt."
"After all, he is Academician Lu."
Looking at his assistant and good friend meticulously, Lu Xiaoqiao said in a serious tone, "These things originally belonged to him, and I was just keeping them for him. If he wants to rearrange his property, that is his right. "
"The blood flowing in your body actually comes from me."
"Are you lonely?" Holding Lu Zhou's right hand on his knee, Lu Xiaoqiao looked at him firmly and said softly, "It's okay. Even if they all leave you, there are still people who stay. If you feel If you are lonely, I can come to see you at any time... and your friends are still in this world."
However, the right hand did not touch her, and even before touching the tip of her hair, it moved away without leaving a trace.
"What if someone makes an exception?"
At this moment, the two people sitting on the shuttle that was landing in Tiangong City were Lu Xiaoqiao, the chairman of the Cryohuman Rights Protection Foundation, and Yang Fangfang, the professional secretary who had been with her for many years.
Frowning slightly, Yang Fangfang muttered in a low voice: "It's too perfunctory to ask you to come here without any reason... Now that communication technology is so advanced, it's not necessary to come here to communicate face to face."
After being silent for about two minutes, he sighed softly and continued.
"Maybe grandpa's grandpa is more accurate," Lu Zhou said this in a joking tone. After being silent for a while, Lu Zhou continued, "There is one thing that I knew after I woke up. But I never told you.”
"Please don't say that."
Although she still wanted to say something, seeing the expression on Lu Xiaoqiao's face, Yang Fangfang finally gave up the idea and stopped talking.
In the executive lounge, Lu Xiaoqiao finally met his ancestor again - the highly respected Academician Lu.
Meeting Lu Zhou's gaze, Lu Xiaoqiao was slightly stunned when he heard these words, not quite understanding what he meant.
After brewing his emotions for a moment, he coughed slightly and said hello.
Especially now that the whole world is preparing for the upcoming "People's Federation Era", as the chairman of the Cryogenic Rights Protection Foundation, Lu Xiaoqiao originally had several important meetings to attend, but they were all postponed because of this incident. Lost.
To be honest, even because of the breakthroughs in star gate technology, it is not convenient to come here from the earth.
"I don't know." After thinking for a while, Lu Xiaoqiao shook his head, "He didn't tell me what the specific matter was before, he just asked me to come over."
"Are you sure it must be a good thing? If he is planning to take back the Cryogenic Rights Protection Foundation—"
As the shuttle landed, the two quickly boarded a special car to the Starry Sky Hotel at the entrance of the terminal.
As more details about this antimatter energy reactor experiment are revealed, the sensational effect continues to ferment.
"If it makes you feel embarrassed, you don't have to tell me."
"How come? You are my grandfather."
This trip to Mars was mainly because of the call from her ancestor, Academician Lu.
Lu Zhou shook his head: "Not just her, there are many people... my relatives, my friends, I believe they lived a happy life, somewhere I can't see. But for me who is still alive , the second half of this journey seems a bit... I'm sorry, I don't know how to describe it, so you can just make do with it."
Before setting off, Yang Fangfang had been urging her to postpone her arrival for two days, so that she could at least finish the urgent work at hand.
She knew that although Xiao Qiao always seemed to be very talkative in normal times, when it came to matters of principle, not to mention that she couldn't persuade her, even if the entire council joined together to persuade her, they couldn't even think of trying to persuade her. Pull back.
An expression of concern appeared on Lu Xiaoqiao's face.
Looking at Lu Zhou with an embarrassed expression on his face, Lu Xiaoqiao curled his lips and said playfully.
"Don't say that. He must have his own intentions in asking me to come here."
"whats the matter… "
Lu Xiaoqiao also had a smile on her face. Although she always felt that Academician Lu looked at her with a strange expression, she didn't think much about it and just answered in a gentle tone.
Sitting opposite her, another young woman with a pretty face nodded, a smile on her face.
"Everyone is like that."
"Don't I care about you..."
"But eventually they will be taken away by time."
In the end, he still did not say such unlucky words about the funeral arrangements. Lu Zhou took a deep breath, looked at her with determination, and said the words that made her face full of astonishment.
But Lu Xiaoqiao didn't listen to her suggestion and still insisted on coming.
Somewhat unbearable to see him so troubled, Lu Xiaoqiao said in a gentle tone.
Lu Xiaoqiao was slightly stunned, and after a moment of hesitation, he said in an uncertain tone.
Hearing this, a heartfelt smile appeared on Lu Xiaoqiao's face.
Hearing this word, Lu Zhou's expression suddenly became melancholy.
Looking at the right hand stretched out in front of him, for some reason, Lu Xiaoqiao had no intention of avoiding it.
Almost all media around the world have focused their attention on Mars, which is several astronomical units away from the earth.
Lu Zhou did not explain this sentence, but unconsciously stretched out his right hand.
The last time it caused such a sensation was two months ago, when Pan-Asian cooperation was launched in major regional alliances and the joint initiative of the People's Federation was just announced.
"You don't understand what I mean. I will be traveling to a far away place soon. The reason why I asked you to come here... forget it."
"No, you misunderstood. Although it is something that worries me, it is nothing to be embarrassed about." Lu Zhou shook his head and continued, "Actually, I have thought about handing over this problem to Give me time to solve it, but... how should I put it? Although I still have a lot of time left, I don't have much left for you."
"Yeah... It must have been more than a year since the last time. How are you lately?"
"Only by ending everything in the past can we talk about starting over. Unfortunately, for me, everything in the past is not over. Many things seem to me like they happened yesterday."
"We meet again."
"Let me see your face."
As if he was thinking about how to express this matter, Lu Zhou scratched his head and thought for a long time.
"... Antimatter, the ultimate energy source of dreams," looking at the holographic panel unfolded in front of him, a young woman in formal attire said with some emotion, "It's unbelievable... From the time he woke up to now, he has only A year’s time.”
