Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 1597: Letters A Hundred Years Later
It was an age-old apartment, and if it hadn't been witnessed, it would have been hard for the Ark to believe that, in the 22nd century, when this network of magnetically suspended roads had been laid throughout the country, there were buildings under 20 floors.
The car was parked on the roof and the canoe and the side of the sentence followed the footsteps of the elderly to the door of a room.
A rare metal key was removed from his pocket, and the old man opened the door and made an inward gesture to the two behind him.
“In fact, the conditions used to be good here... but no one has lived here for a long time. Please come in. ”
Without saying anything superfluous, the ark nodded and stepped over the door in front of it.
However, as soon as he crossed it, a familiar feeling immediately surfaced.
“This is…”
The old man laughed and said as if he had anticipated the appearance of the ark.
“Surprised, isn't it? Everything here is arranged like your childhood room and is constantly updated over time, even if accidentally disrupted, it will be quickly restored... until I am 20 years old. ”
Is this a simulation of my childhood?
I didn't expect them to do this...
I thought so in my heart, the ark couldn't help but cry and not know what to say for a while.
Always felt that the person in charge of the plan seemed to have done a lot of work in strange places.
However, it would be a little strange to expect to be able to “rebuild” him in such a way.
Staring at the layout in the room for a long time, the ark suddenly said.
“Has he always grown up in such an environment? ”
“Yes, my father lived under the shadow of the name Academician Lu, and even my childhood… Until around the forties and fifties, when the blood plan was announced to be over, it took a new sociological experiment to stop. ”
The throat knot slipped slightly, and the ark's expression softly said.
“Does he hate me then? ”
“How could it," the old man laughed, giving the Ark a comforting look, "whether that's what he wanted or not, but at least he was born with the wealth and respect that 99% of the world's people will never have in their lives. This feeling may be boring, but it will certainly not be a reason to hate you... Besides, when he learns that you are actually his father, Lu Xiaotong, but his mother in name, it is long after he has grown up. ”
“So he became a scholar? ”
“Unfortunately not, but he became an artist,” the old man laughed and continued, "apart from what you see in front of him, his little part of his life is the piano in the grocery room. The piano accompanied him throughout his childhood and the rest of his life... and of course, the kitchen, where he set the kitchenware himself. Though he always claimed to be more of a chef than a scholar, he had to say that he was in the cooking section… probably completely insulated from pots and pans all his life. ”
Ark: “Does he make bad food? ”
Like remembering something sad, the old man sighed and said.
“It's not as bad as it tastes… no one else can swallow it except for the flavor he eats himself. ”
When I heard that, the face of the ark finally showed a comforting smile.
This is probably the first time he's had that look today.
“He doesn't look like me at all...”
After a moment of pause, the ark looked at the old man standing next to him and continued.
“Is that piano still in the grocery room? ”
The old man nodded his head: “If I remember correctly, it's still there, but it's been so long... I'm not sure if I can play it. ”
“Can you show me? ”
“Absolutely. ”
Then, the old man walked in front of him, landing on the canoe and two other people beside him, and came to the grocery room.
This room is probably the only place in the entire house that distinguishes itself from the home of an ark, with lots of obsolete furniture, personal collections from Lu Yuan, and the piano in its most prominent position.
On the piano stand, the ark saw something familiar and went forward and took him from the piano stand.
That's a ring box.
By the looks of it, it's been years.
Looking at the ring box in the hand of the ark, the old man had a nostalgic look in his eyes and continued.
“This is my grandmother's relic… and the only relic my father left me besides this piano. For some time, my father wanted to find the biological father who abandoned him and his mother through this ring box, until he later found out that his father had been hanging on the wall and that the person who had been raising him was actually just his foster mother. ”
“But to this day, I've been wondering who the ring in this ring box was to, or is it just a beautiful lie, and the ring in it hasn't existed since the beginning ——”
“No," interrupted the old man, the ark opened the box in his hand, his index finger touching the already yellow velvet mat, softly said, “This ring box... is actually mine. ”
When I heard this unexpected answer, the old man's face showed an obsessive expression.
“But... why did it show up at your sister's? ”
There was also a strange look on the face of the sentence, which seemed to be thinking of something less polite.
However, the Ark did not care what strange things they were thinking at the moment, as if talking about a distant past.
“Obviously, she got it from that guy. ”
“I remember very clearly that before I went to Mars, I put it under my pillow, and there was supposed to be a ring in it, and a love letter of about 200 words…” With a nostalgic expression on my face, the ark continued, "It was like yesterday. ”
The ring and the love letter are gone, and she must have seen her “last words” on the laptop.
She just somehow handed the ring box to her sister.
With a slightly complicated mood, the ark carefully pulled out the goose mat and wanted to see where he had put his love letter.
And yet, just moments before his goose mat came down, a note fell out of it.
“New leads? ”
A happy expression appeared on his face for a moment, but soon after realizing that his reaction was somewhat anachronistic, he hurriedly coughed up and hung a sad expression on his face, “Please be sorry...”
“If you really think for me, please stand at the door for a while. ”
At a glance, Inspector Xing panicked. The ark carefully unfolded the already yellow note.
Not surprisingly, this should be her reply.
All the clues were in series at this moment, and he finally understood why she had given the box to her sister.
[By the time you see this letter, I think I've gone to a very distant place… but I'm afraid it won't be farther than where you're going, at least on a scale of distance, the journey ends.
[I have also thought about a possibility, in fact, you are still alive, just feeling too tired, wanting to rest for a while to empty your brain, so I chose to cover it all up with an earthquake... but this brain hole, I think, even if it's a big science fiction film, I wouldn't dare to shoot it like this.
You know what? After seeing your last words, I really, really wanted to beat you up, but Ben Mushroom Cold finally restrained his temperament... after all, that scene was a mountain of people, and you asked me to marry him so deeply.
[… and then, in their witness, I promised you. The proposal. So now we're husband and wife, you can't run away, you can't run away!
[Thinking about it, I still can't let go of you bastard, but... even if I can't, that disaster has already happened. As your wife, the only thing I can do for you is fulfill those unfinished wishes for you.
[Fortunately, everything is going well and Xiaotong is very supportive of me... although there may be some tentative practices, you have been tentative a lot of times, and this time it is my turn to do so a few times.
[By the way, give me back my love letter, I'll take the ring in the box. After all, I've agreed to your proposal, and it's mine now.
[I will take it to Skylark Five, the star that belongs to us.
[You told me that many years later, when people looked at the star and wished for it, all that came to mind was a story about us.
[I'll finish it for you.
[The promise you made me.
Looking down at the ark where the letter was placed, I saw him at the end of the sentence for a long time, not talking, and I was about to go forward to comfort him.
However, as soon as he placed his right hand on the shoulder of the ark, it was suddenly discovered that the man in front of him was already full of tears...
