Love at Second Sight [Interstellar]

Zhou Yuchen only sat quietly in the study for a while, when the terminal vibrated again, and a communication was waiting to be connected.

He glanced at it, reached out to connect it, and a three-dimensional image of a man and a woman appeared in the room.

"Brother!" Before the two images, a petite figure rushed over, "Mom and Dad said that you have found a matching guide!"

Her delicate face was quickly pushed away by a slender and strong hand: "Get out of the way, let's talk to your brother."

The woman in the video is slender, with a straight military uniform, and her eyebrows are a little more heroic than ordinary women. It is Zhou Yuchen's mother, Imperial Marshal Claudia Brent: "Yuchen."

"Mother."

"What about Yulang, how are you talking with him?"

Zhou Yuchen shook his head and said, "He's still too young, immature in thinking about issues, and somewhat rebellious."

"He's only thinking about how to imitate you." Claudia frowned.

Sitting next to her was Zhou Dun, her husband, the father of the children, who was also the marshal of the empire, and the only guide among the marshals.Like many guides, he wears silver eyes and has a gentle temperament. He said with a smile: "Children, Yulang is still young, and he still has experience. The guide who is suitable for him, your mother and I read the information. It's not bad, but I haven't seen him in person, so I can't make the final judgment yet."

Zhou Yuchen said: "I want to meet him in person after he leaves the tower."

"Okay." Zhou Dun said with a smile, "I heard that he is the student of Zhuang Ze's son. What a coincidence, you can meet with the teacher and the student at that time."

Claudia immediately took her husband's words and said, "That's right, maybe we can meet Zhuang Ze and his son first."

Zhou Yuchen frowned slightly, realizing that his parents might have done something without discussing it with him: "Have you already talked to Zhuang Yan's father?"

Zhou Dundao: "Don't worry, after all, the marriage between you and Zhuang Yan is related to the two families, and we are just communicating about this matter."

He was more careful than his wife, noticing Zhou Yuchen's address, and said with a smile, "Already called by name? It seems that you are getting along well with Zhuang Yan."

good?It doesn't get any worse than that.Zhou Yuchen said: "Father, Zhuang Yan is infatuated with Princess Helena of the Principality of Andorra, and Princess Helena..."

"Princess Helena is interested in Yuchen." Zhou Dun explained to his wife who had never read the news. Claudia remembered the rumors she had heard before: "Did the Zhuang family plan to marry the royal family of Andorra?"

Zhou Yuchen nodded, remembering the scene of Zhuang Yan pointing at his nose and yelling at him in the heavy rain, he said, "You didn't see how he gritted his teeth with hatred for me."

Zhou Dun laughed, and Claudia also thought it was a big coincidence.Zhou Dundao: "So you are rivals in love? That's even better. A writer in ancient China said that rivals miss each other more than lovers miss each other."

"..."

Just kidding.Claudia regained her composure and said, "Yuchen, your father and I both ask you to seriously consider this marriage."

Zhou Yuchen said: "It's not a simple matter of matching and getting married." Imagine if he and Zhuang Yan got married because of matching, not to mention how deeply Zhuang Yan loved Princess Helena, how much he hated her, and how this marriage would be beneficial to her. The interests of the Zhuang family and the Zhou family, as well as the influence of the two political opinions, even if this marriage is finally facilitated, it must be full of contradictions.

"We don't need you to think about other things." Claudia said firmly.

"We only hope that you start from your own considerations." Zhou Dun followed. "Your body..."

"There is nothing wrong with my body."

"Who knows when it will go wrong." Claudia clenched the armrest of the chair, staring at her beloved eldest son, "mania, the deterioration of the mental barrier, this is something that no sentinel can avoid. It is like A penis, even if you don't care about it, it hangs in your father's and my heart all the time."

Zhou Yuchen remained silent.Claudia looked at him. She had military pride, determination and restraint. She rarely praised her eldest son, but her son became such a powerful sentinel. Hao.Until she gradually discovered that her son's strength turned out to be the reason for him to refuse to open his heart to anyone other than his family.

He distrusts guides and denies any guide access to his spiritual realm.

"Yuchen." Zhou Dunyu said earnestly, "Relaxly entrust yourself to a guide, to your partner. When you really do this, you will find that you are not as resistant to this matter as you imagined."

Zhou Yuchen said: "If I really want to find a partner, I can choose by myself, and I don't need to rely on the state's machinery."

"Why are you so resistant to matching and the guide?" Claudia frowned. She knew that her son was as stubborn as her, so she was even more anxious, and blurted out: "Are you still worrying about that incident eight years ago..."

Zhou Yuchen and his mother looked at each other.

With a headache, Claudia leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and put her hands to her forehead.

Zhou Dun thoughtfully covered the back of her hand with his palm, and said to Zhou Yuchen, "You know, it is your genes that determine your match, and the machine is just a means. I don't believe any nonsense that you choose yourself. You are almost 30 years old, and you Ever choose anyone? Since you never choose, it's the same to let the data choose for you."

"What's more..." Zhou Dun said, "Have you checked the degree of compatibility between you and Zhuang Yan?"

"90.00% three."

In the ward of the hospital, Zhuang Yan listened to Zhuang Ze's report of the data with a blank face, but his eyes just fell on the quilt blankly.

Zhuang Ze said: "You and Zhou Yuchen are so well matched, the Zhou family will not treat you badly, and will not ask you for more."

"A marriage is a marriage. What the Principality of Andorra wants is a share in trade." Zhuang Yan mocked, "The two marshals of the Zhou family want their precious son to live another 70 years."

Sentinels who have not been matched with a guide, even if they have inhibitors, will usually develop severe mania after the age of five or sixty, and their abilities will deteriorate. If there is no guide to guide them and build a mental barrier, they will suffer from "noise" interference all day long , and even some sentinels will try to commit suicide in pain, so that when they reach the age of 60, their life span will be considered to be at the end.In this era, people with ordinary physique can generally live to 70 years old.

"No matter what the Zhou family is for, you don't have to think about that woman anymore." Zhuang Ze said coldly, "The royal family of Andorra has already talked to me. Since she actively wants to regret the marriage, it is best to settle this matter before marriage. , so that I don’t have to clean up the mess for your marriage breakdown.”

Zhuang Yan immediately said, "Let me talk to Helena."

"What are you still struggling with?" Zhuang Ze said, "I will let Steven watch you enter the 'tower', and when you get out of the tower, I will arrange for you to meet with Zhou Yuchen and the two marshals of the Zhou family."

Zhuang Yan's teeth were about to be gritted, and Zhuang Ze was so pissed off because of Helena, he finally felt relieved, and hung up the communication after saying "You take care of yourself".

Steven was playing a mentally handicapped game on the bare board next to him, and when the father and son finished talking, he leaned over and said, "You..." He just checked Zhou Yuchen's related news, and finally found the reason why Zhuang Yan was gnashing his teeth on him.

Zhuang Yan ignored him, but turned on the terminal again and dialed the communication.

When Steven saw the name "Helena" on it, he couldn't help sighing secretly.

There was still no answer to the communication, Zhuang Yan sent several requests in a row, but finally gave up.

Steven tried to persuade: "Actually, if you don't want to, they can't force you." Because of the scarcity of guides, the empire forced guides to join the army, but out of human rights considerations, there was no clear regulation that guides must be combined with sentries.

Zhuang Yan said in a low voice, "Let me think alone."

Steven then got up, left the ward, and closed the door.

Zhuang Yan was alone in the room.In fact, Zhuang Ze's harsh words didn't pose much threat to him. It was Helena who made his heart bitter -- she was so decisive that she didn't give him any room for redemption.

Zhuang Ze once criticized him as an idealist.He is indeed an out-and-out idealist. He believes that human beings should advocate independent love, and the so-called matching degree, putting a sentinel and a guide together, reaching a certain threshold means that they are a natural pair. There are no more ridiculous jokes than that.

Zhuang Yan lay back on the bed and pressed the button to switch the room to sleep mode. However, in the darkness, his brain was obviously extremely tired, but he never fell asleep. He looked at the dark ceiling, and many pictures appeared in front of his eyes.

Helena met him for the first time, and they were acquainted. In the garden, he knelt down to propose to her. She raised her chin slightly and stretched out her hand to let him put the ring on her. They would meet every few months and watch the opera together. , have lunch, if there is no such turmoil, they should start preparing for the wedding at the beginning of next year.

But everything that was close at hand seemed suddenly out of reach.The fuse was the appearance of Zhou Yuchen.Zhou Yuchen...

"I can't do it," Zhou Yuchen said.

Claudia said: "What can't be done? I just want you to meet him a few times and get in touch with him more. You are so compatible..."

"I won't see him again." Zhou Yuchen said these words, but what he thought of was that day when Zhuang Yan hugged him tightly, their foreheads touched, and invaded Zhou Yuchen's spiritual realm.

He couldn't accept the guide.That was the first time he communicated with others, and then he knew that he and Zhuang Yan must have a high degree of compatibility, otherwise those emotions would not be so violent and real.

But he couldn't let a guide into his brain, which is the most deadly.If it's impossible, don't try again.

So when he came back to his senses, he still nodded to his disappointed parents: "Sorry, Mom and Dad." Then he closed the communication.
