It's too late to marry a cat [Interstellar]

There is no lack of artificial romance in this world. For example, meteors are actually just sand and dust boulders and small celestial body fragments running in the universe. They follow a specific trajectory and come and go. Attracting, then burning and heating up as it penetrates the planet's atmosphere, glowing and heating.

The process of "no offense, accidental visit" was observed and recorded. The ordinary sand and gravel in the universe have a beautiful new name, they are called meteors, and they are entrusted with various good wishes. Observing them is proud, for luck, and prays for them, hoping that they will bring happiness and happiness.

Another example is diamond, which is a carbon element formed deep in the earth's crust under high pressure and high temperature, and it is only a member of the large family of minerals.

However, because it looks better and stands out among brothers and sisters, people can't help endowing it with a series of beautiful meanings from the first day they excavate this beautiful crystal underground, thinking that it symbolizes nobility. , Jianzhen, bright, eternal and so on.

Anyway, dozens of praise words can be listed on it.

But in any case, meteors are named meteors, after all, they are "extraterrestrial visitors", and they are indeed "flowing stars" when they burn across the sky.

Diamonds are named diamonds. They are indeed hard and bright, and they are also natural ores.

Things like "Diamond Stardust" are more purely artificial.

It bears such a name that combines the former two, but it is just a tiny ice cube floating in the air. It is neither expensive, nor is it rare to pick up a tiny ice cube alone. Stars and diamonds have nothing to do with it for eight lifetimes. It seems that it is particularly like a rubbish of people's fame.

Yahuiquan is a romantic insulator, and has never had the experience of "talking about romance" with anyone, and according to his prejudice that he is used to being alone, he also very harshly believes that the so-called romance and artificial beauty are both Idlers are full and have nothing to do, they have a lot of ideas but can do little, so they forcibly put their expectations that human beings can't reach on objects that have no independent thinking at all.

This kind of "beauty" is as inexplicable as an apple recorded in historical documents, but it became a "safety fruit" on Christmas Eve in the ancient earth.

"There is no respect for the beautiful image imposed." Yahuiquan said in the beautiful scenery, "you call the tiny ice cubes diamond stardust, do you have the permission of diamonds and stardust, or did the tiny ice cubes apply for a name change? ?”

"Then your opinion has to travel across time and space, and go to the people of the ancient earth." Wo Xiu was not angry when he heard the words that destroyed the atmosphere. He seemed to think that the unsightly General Ya was very interesting, and he was interested in observing people. , while continuing the words calmly, "The name of Diamond Stardust has existed objectively for a long time, and the naming history is longer than the establishment of the Star Alliance. It is a bit wronged for us contemporary people to blame the name change on the heads of contemporary people."

"...Then this shows that the ancient people were very idle." Ya Huiquan said after a while.

He glanced at Woxiu, and conveyed the second half of the sentence with his eyes-your contemporary people who continue to use meaningless names are as idle as the ancients.

Wo Xiu laughed again.

This person seems to have an endless supply of smiles, keeping the corners of his mouth in a horizontal state for a little longer will probably suffocate him.

"The lifespan of people on the ancient earth was much shorter than ours now, but there were not many things to do in a lifetime. People grew up in a hurry in a shorter and limited time, and chose the direction. After spending half my life in a panic, it was only for the first time that I figured out what I really wanted, and finally knew which direction I wanted to go." He said, "People's time is so tight, how can you say that others are free?"

At the beginning, Yahuiquan was listening with a critical attitude. He was still sitting in the cab with the open door, and the long leg that had not stepped into the cabin was bent at will outside the cabin, stepping on the fine sand sifted by the sea wind and waves. .

Hearing Wo Xiu talk about his original heart and direction, he was startled suddenly, and his stinginess subsided unknowingly.

The conversation about "what would there be without war" happened before Diamond Stardust, and Wo Xiu's words hit the right point, and once again touched the root, gently knocking a gap in the armor that wrapped Yahuiquan.

Calculated according to the average life expectancy of the ancient earth, General Ya is about to pass "half of his life", but where is his original intention, what is it, and what will he do if he follows his original intention? He has no time for these questions before. To think, no time to think, he is also a person who has always been in a hurry, and can only run wildly on the only road - and no one will specifically ask this question.

It was his enemy who turned them out of the inner corner.

"So?" Yahuiquan said after a while, he still had a disinterested expression on his face, but his tone slowed down slightly, "Life is more limited, and you are still looking for sustenance from dead things, time is tight and you are addicted to fantasy , It’s not idle, but it’s quite stupid, wouldn’t it be good to do more business?”

Wo Xiu kept his eyes on his face. After listening, he didn't argue with him this time.

Wo Xiu asked suddenly: "Then put aside all factors such as meaning, sustenance, and artificially endowed romantic fantasy, you just look at it again, do you think it looks good?"

Yahuiquan had a meal.

His eyes subconsciously followed Wo Xiu's words and fell to the back.

At this time, the sun had already risen from the sea level for a while, and the sky with the first morning light was still dark, half of it was lit up, and the other half was still awake and silent.

The sky starts from the line connecting the sea and the sky, gradually spreading the light and lighting up bit by bit.

The diamond stardust reflected the morning light, and was carried by the wind to the place where the night remained. Countless tiny ice cubes moved with the wind, scattered like magic star dust in fairy tales, and then fell down, quietly disappearing in the air before touching the ground.

Yahuiquan's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't make a sound, but Wo Xiu let out a "huh".

The man said in a firm tone: "I can see it, I think it looks good."

Yahuiquan: "..."

He glanced back at the man again, but made no rebuttal.

What does it have to do with the meaning just discussed?

Yahuiquan thought silently.

Wo Xiu seemed to have seen his expression and understood his heart.

"I guess you're thinking about what looks good." Wo Xiu shook his head lightly. Contrary to this helpless physical expression, the corners of his lips were raised again.

He leaned on the door frame of the cockpit and looked down at Yahuiquan, something extremely complicated flashed by in his expression, and in the end he only had a funny face that seemed helpless.

"It's very meaningful to look good, and it's okay if you feel good-looking." He said, "What's the use of meaning and sustenance, and why people love to pursue them in life from ancient times to the present? If you are full of objections, you have to experience life a few times before life will tell you——General Ya, do you have the opportunity to try this kind of thing more in the future? Do more things that you would not have thought about in the past, and will not stop Steps to pay attention to."

Yahuiquan's thinking suddenly split into two.

The old him was pissed off.

He felt that this person was expressing hints inside and outside the words, saying that he "doesn't understand life". Xiu launched a personal attack.

However, maybe the beautiful scenery does have some influence on people, and it will subtly change people's state of mind. His personal attack has little lethal effect, and Wo Xiu's reaction seems to be listening to a harmless joke.

...But from the current time, he knew that he was dreaming, he was thinking: "Does Woxiu talk so much at this time?"

Ya Huiquan vaguely felt that something was wrong, his dream seemed to be intertwined with two memories at the same time, and the dream helped him to superimpose what the man said at different times without authorization.

At the same time, through his own eyes in the dream, he once again looked back at the scene that was about to end.

At a certain moment, Ya Huiquan from the present suddenly understood what Wo Xiu said at that time.

Tiny ice cubes gather in the sky in groups, and fall down beautifully. They send unexpected surprises to people's senses, and they turn from tiny ice cubes into diamond stardust.

Meaning is given by people and perceived by people.

People will always change their ways to give themselves more hope, and look forward to an adjustment in the unchanging life.

"I……"

Ya Huiquan spoke, and he watched Wo Xiu, who was looking at the sea, turn his head sideways.

The diamond stardust is gradually covered by the golden sun covering the sea. The sun chasing the coast seems to surge with the tide, and generously shares the light on the people who stop on the beach. The facial features are blurred with the blur filter turned on, so they can't be seen clearly.

"Huh?" Wo Xiu responded in the increasingly dazzling light.

Ya Huiquan wanted to say something, but before the words floated to his throat, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt ominous from the too bright light, his body reached forward faster than his mind, and grabbed the arm of the person in front of him.

Wo Xiu was caught by him.

Yahuiquan felt relieved that his hand didn't miss, but before he could finish his breath, Wo Xiu moved a little.

The person standing outside the cockpit suddenly bent down again, and the other party leaned his upper body into the cabin by taking advantage of the little pull he had just made when he grabbed the person.

He stepped back subconsciously, and his back lightly hit the back of the driver's seat.

There is no going back.

He was hugged.

"If you can go out, you can experience something different from your previous life, okay?" Wo Xiu is only less than two centimeters taller than him, but the other party is standing and leaning from the outside, and the posture of standing and sitting makes the cliff spring He was a lot shorter than the opponent, his forehead rested on Wo Xiu's shoulder, and he heard Wo Xiu's voice falling from above.

The shoulders block the line of sight, and the field of vision is infinitely compressed.

However, through the only gap, Yahuiquan saw that the golden light outside had turned into red light, the world was submerged in fiery and terrifying red, and the overwhelming fiery red was pressing towards the small world where they lived, and the operating console in the cockpit became dark. Gotta be piping hot.

"Shh, it's okay."

Wo Xiu separated himself between the Yahuiquan and the console. They were about the same size, and one could just cover the other.

"You can definitely get out," Wo Xiu said.

He seemed to have been tempered by the fire behind him, temporarily possessing an indestructible body of steel.

Ya Huiquan went to break his hand, trying to throw this man away, and let him go and find an ecological cabin escape cabin or anything.

But Wo Xiu clasped his hand and stood still.

"Get out." Ya Huiquan said, "Get out! Who told you to do this?!"

Wo Xiu didn't speak.

He calmed down, let Yahuiquan stop his voice again, and swallowed all the questions that he couldn't really say to this person in an instant.

He only calls him by his first name.

"...I'm still here." After a long while, Wo Xiu finally spoke again, he seemed to lower his head, and rubbed his chin against the top of Yahuiquan's hair, "I'm still here—but what are you doing now, that's what you are doing To experience life? Are you afraid that I will have a heart attack?"

This sentence, which was almost a reproach, was like a blow to the head, and it dragged Yahuiquan out of the dream that was about to drown.

Yahuiquan opened his eyes suddenly, his arm reflexively wanted to grab something, but his fingers only slid across the air...and landed on a ball of warm fur again.

The scorching faded, the flames disappeared.

The world wasn't in flames, and he didn't have another questioner in front of him.

He only saw his cat.

"Meow?"

"...I'm fine." Ya Huiquan reached out and stroked the cat's back.

Judging from the still dim light, it should be early. The cat seemed to be a little worried about him, and its eyes were watching him in the dark without blinking.

He sat up, the quilt slipped from his chest to his waist, he didn't care, he just hugged the cat to his body.

Ya Huiquan hugged the cat quietly, and then his back bent slightly, and when it reached a certain degree, he stopped restrainedly, and his back drew an indistinct arc in the shadows.

After daybreak, Yahuiquan first sent a message to Peilantui. He did not forget the problem with the ruins model he noticed last night, and handed over the lack of information about the spiral corridor to the second wing to investigate.

Later, Ya Huiquan opened a document lying in the "unapproved" area of ​​his personal terminal, which was an application for dynamic detection of the core environment of natural disasters.

In order to ensure that the project that should officially start sailing after the new year can be carried out smoothly, in the last week of the year, the technical personnel of the two parties need to go one step ahead with the cooperation and support of the military, and go to the outer periphery of the star area at the core of the natural disaster to conduct environmental monitoring and measure a series of Data to ensure the stability of the internal state of the star area.

This kind of mission that does not require entering the core is usually left to high-level technicians and mid-to-high-ranking generals to lead the team, and the supreme commander does not need to go out.

But after Yahuiquan browsed the documents, he electronically signed himself and compiled himself into the list, replacing the original team leader.

Li Dandan witnessed him doing all this, the cat flicked its tail beside it, and the hair touched the back of the man's hand.

"I can't take you on this trip." Ya Huiquan patted the cat, "I just went to the outskirts, the round-trip voyage plus the estimated time, and I can come back in three or four days without accidents."

Li Dandan's eyes turned around between the title of the document and the person.

The man said, "I want to see it."
