Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Qin Huaishi and Mo Dao were the same age.

Without Mo Dao's involvement, her life would have followed a similar trajectory as before.

An excellent biologist.

There was no need to go to the frontier anymore, so he studied at Capital University and then stayed at the school to work.

From associate professor to full professor to second-level professor.

She spent most of her life pursuing her research field and ideals.

Perhaps it has not been able to produce subversive and transformative results.

But she has still done a lot of work in the subdivision of her research.

Perhaps one day, someone who will be engaged in similar field research in the future will be able to build on the foundation laid by her and many previous, present, and future researchers.

Do research that changes the world.

Looking back on the past few decades, although I have never reached the top of the field of biological research,

But she can confidently say that her life has not been wasted.

She lived a fulfilling life and made the greatest efforts for the ideal she pursued.

As he grows older, Qin Huaishi has gradually retreated from front-line research.

Although I still go to school and laboratories every day,

But more importantly, it is about cultivating and teaching students.

Today is actually no exception.

In the afternoon, Qin Huaishi was going to go to the office from her residence to see the recent projects of several graduate students she led.

And when across the street in front of the school gate,

When he saw Mo Dao again, Qin Huaishi's first reaction was actually a bit dazed.

…

After many years,

Qin Huaishi, who is already full of silver hair,

He could still recognize Mo Dao, who was also sixty-one years old.

And Mo Dao,

He remembered Qin Huaishi's face at every stage from eighteen to twenty-eight, to thirty-eight...from young girl to old.

He remembered Qin Huaishi at every stage of life.

And when Mo Dao heard the most familiar voice in his mind,

After turning around, the figure of Qin Huaishi he saw overlapped with the Qin Huaishi at this stage in his memory.

This is the street outside the gate of Capital University.

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi have walked here many times and in many lives during their afternoon or evening walks.

Pictures from many lives seemed to be interspersed at this moment, and Mo Dao's eyes were a little dazed here for a moment.

Why does he always come here subconsciously?

In fact, he was still waiting for this girl who was always full of courage.

in addition,

When I see Qin Huaishi again in this life,

He thought of one more thing.

In that life as a traveler.

Qin Huaishi is different from the legendary reporter Mo Dao and the general Mo Dao's previous lives.

In that life, Qin Huaishi, who had never had a continuous interaction with him, had never been married in his life.

Of course Miss Qin Huaishi has not been waiting for him all her life.

It's the same in this life.

only,

In every previous life, the union between Qin Huaishi and Mo Dao,

It wasn't because he wanted to get married that he chose Mo Dao as the person who would go through life.

Rather,

Because of Mo Dao, I got married.

"...I retired, so I returned to China."

Mo Dao stood up, smiled and explained to Qin Huaishi why he was here.

Qin Huaishi nodded when he heard Mo Dao's words.

As for Mo Dao’s subsequent events, what happened in the past few decades,

She occasionally pays attention.

As for Mo Dao’s previous news of resigning from his position within the youth department of Kerner,

It was difficult for her not to see it.

In addition, Qin Huaishi also discovered that Mo Dao still remembered her.

"You have such a good memory, you still remember me."

"...Can we go for a walk together? Old friends."

Mo Dao paused, then smiled and invited.

Qin Huaishi looked at the time and nodded.

"good."

Qin Huaishi agreed.

…

There is no definite destination,

There is no certain place to go.

Qin Huaishi agreed and walked beside Mo Dao.

The two of them walked slowly along this tree-lined street.

This street is very busy, not so quiet and even a little noisy.

But at this moment, Mo Dao's mood was rarely so calm.

In this life, the identities of Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi are very different.

It's not necessarily how big the difference is, but the difference is really far.

But the sense of distance between the two is still very weak.

Neither man spoke much as they began their walk.

Time and space seem to overlap at this moment.

This seems to be one afternoon,

After lunch, the two of them walked in the gentle wind, accompanying each other, on a street near their home.

Qin Huaishi, who should have watched more time to avoid going to the office too late,

It seemed that he was also affected by Mo Dao's emotions and gradually calmed down a lot.

She felt that she was really getting older and a little lazy.

After walking forward for a while,

The two still started talking.

However, the exchange between the two did not destroy the peace between the two.

Mo Dao told Qin Huaishi about this life from his experience in Laer City.

But he is not in a hurry, he wants to tell Qin Huaishi all about his life at once.

In response to Mo Dao's words, Qin Huaishi would also mention some of her experiences in college and after work.

In the past few decades, the two people's lives have not had much intersection.

But when it comes to it, it doesn't feel strange.

Mo Dao can listen to Qin Huaishi's narration quietly,

and Qin Huaishi can also listen to Mo Dao's narration all the time.

Mo Dao respects Qin Huaishi's life,

and Qin Huaishi also respects Mo Dao's goals.

Of course,

the two of them didn't just keep talking.

In fact, the two of them just walked forward, and when they remembered, they would mention it.

They didn't have to find something to say.

It seemed that both of them knew, with a natural sense of peace of mind - he and she would not end this walk because they had nothing to say.

The unfamiliarity of decades apart,

seemed to disappear quickly, and it seemed that it had never appeared since the two met again.

Mo Dao, who many people couldn't understand,

seemed to be intuitively felt by Qin Huaishi in many of Mo Dao's emotions.

Qin Huaishi didn't feel any unfamiliar unfamiliarity in Mo Dao.

It seemed that the two hadn't seen each other for only one day, not decades.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment.

The two walked along the street.

They told each other about the time when the other was not around.

…

62 years old.

Even though it seemed much later,

Miss Qin Huaishi and Mo Dao still got married.

This matter seemed to be natural to the two.

Even on the day of the wedding, the two were just happy and not very excited.

For them, whether there was a specific ceremony was actually not very meaningful.

The wedding was still very simple.

They just informed each other of the people they were familiar with.

Qin Huaishi invited several of her former and current students.

On Mo Dao's side, Pars, Bourne and others also made a special trip and took time out privately to come to China.

They gave Mo Dao their sincere blessings.

"Mo, I was wondering why you didn't want to get married."

"It turns out that you have been waiting for Ms. Qin Huaishi."

After getting married,

the lives of Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi did not change much.

The marriage of the two was not publicized in a big way. Apart from some close friends, not many people knew about it or paid attention to it.

Everything was normal for the two of them.

They spent their time together in peace.

For Mo Dao,

he spent the first half of his life on achieving his goals in this life.

He still wanted to spend the remaining time with Miss Qin Huaishi only.
