Future driving recorder

"A thread-shaped foreign object was mixed into the cooling fan, and it got entangled during high-speed operation. Fortunately, there was only a small one, which was only slightly damaged." The middle-aged man in dark blue overalls got up from the Future with the bottom shell removed, and said to Qi He said, "The repair will take about two hours to complete."

"Thank you." Qi He once again sincerely thanked them for not only saving them at a critical moment for this large executive ship, but also willing to help repair the future.

Although he couldn't figure out when the white grass got mixed into the cooling fan.

"You have traveled far enough." They checked their documents before boarding the ship, and they had no doubt that Qi He was from the Blue Star.The middle-aged man in charge of running and repairing the machine glanced at the outer corridor, and secretly handed Qi He a cigarette, "One?"

Qi He smiled and shook his head to decline, pretending not to see the civilized no-smoking sign on the bulkhead.At this time, another man in the same overalls came out from the repair warehouse, and the middle-aged man handed him the cigarette instead.

"There is no smoke alarm here." The repairman who just came out took the cigarette happily with his hair on his head, then glanced at Qi He, bumped into the middle-aged man who was puffing, and sighed in a low voice Say, "It really does, don't you think?"

"..." Qi He felt relieved after being checked for his credentials.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man immersed in the charm of tobacco gave a "tsk" in disapproval.

"Tell me yourself, how many times have you met someone you think you look alike over the years?" He scolded, "And this one is not very similar, a bit fatter than the photo."

I'm not fat...!

While reassuring again, Qi He secretly refuted a sentence, and at the same time showed a puzzled look cooperatively, as if he didn't understand what they were talking about.

"Sorry, it's an old story in our place." Luanmao smiled apologetically at him.Qi He shook his head to express that he didn't care, and took the opportunity to suggest that he go out and wait.

The moment he turned around and came to the corridor to help close the door, he keenly heard Lumpy Hair's low voice:

"I'm just talking, who doesn't know that that person is gone long ago. The whole world knows it well, but his father still hasn't accepted the reality, and now he still insists on sending unmanned ships to look for it..."

Qi He stood in the shadow by the door for a while, then slowly turned around to look for Lu Jingming.

Lu Jingming was angry.

After confirming that he was out of danger, the peach-flavored Alpha refused to talk to Qi He any more, and sat in the rest area arranged by the staff with a straight face and did not go anywhere.

It seems a little difficult.Qi He hesitated for a while at the corner of the rest area, and then mustered up the courage to go out. With an apprehensive smile, he told him that he would have to wait for two hours, and tentatively sat next to Lu Jingming.

Lu Jingming moved a little to the side expressionlessly.

"……"what to do.Qi He stared at the floor in embarrassment for a while, then gritted his teeth and cheekily squeezed towards Lu Jingming.

As if Lu Jingming had a premonition, he moved away almost at the same time.

Qi He turned to look at him in embarrassment, and then fell into thinking.

Why don't you come here?On the other side, a question mark silently rose in Lu Jingming's expressionless heart.

He planned to resign himself to the fire when Qi He tried to get closer for the third time, but the other party actually sat there and started to be in a daze?

It can't be so easy to give up, right?Or is it that the expression on his face is too scary? ...

Just as Lu Jingming was trying to relax his facial muscles, trying to make himself look gentle yet stern, a low voice came from the not-so-large space between the two of them: "I'm sorry."

After racking his brains, he couldn't think of any way to make people happy. Qi He finally decided to apologize honestly and seek leniency for his previous assertions.He carefully peeked at Lu Jingming's side face and said, "I already knew I was wrong."

It would have been better if it hadn't been like this earlier!The last trace of depression in Lu Jingming's heart completely dissipated, and he graciously moved back to Qi He's side.

ah? ...so easy?Before Qi He could react, Lu Jingming grabbed his hand and asked if it still hurt.

He shook his head bewilderedly.

"Then what should we do next?" Lu Jingming, who didn't feel that his actions were inappropriate at all, asked while checking the red marks on Qi He's wrist, "You don't want ordinary people in Red Star to know that you are still alive, I can understand that—"

After all, resurrection from the dead greatly reduces the effect of the tragedy, and Qi He is obviously unwilling to live in the so-called halo.He added silently in his heart.

"—but your father, he must have needed the news very much."

Qi He's heart skipped a beat because of this question.The words he had just heard in the repair cabin rang in his ears again, and he lowered his head hesitantly, wondering what he was thinking about.

"There is also your personal information. Although you can use the Blue Star ID to get past the general situation, your information database is still on the Red Star after all. Once the universe information network is perfected, it will be easy to find problems."

Lu Jingming lowered his voice and analyzed, "Your father, as an immediate family member, can help you delete the file... so that you can travel normally as a Blue Star citizen to see your relatives and friends at any time in the future."

In theory, that's right...Qi He nodded, but didn't express his opinion.

Lu Jingming mistakenly thought this meant consent, and while calling up the search page on his mobile phone to try to find father-in-law's public itinerary, he reflected again on his past behavior of not telling Qi He about many things because of his misunderstanding of this father-in-law.

"...For example, a few years ago, your father donated all the gifts to commemorate you from famous artists to the museum, but only left a painting of a newcomer." He recalled, "I I didn’t pay attention to that news, but now that I think about it, he probably likes the name of that painting.”

Qi He recovered from his own thoughts and asked curiously, "What name?"

"It's a bit long...I found it." Lu Jingming searched for the answer effortlessly, and read it word by word, "'Meet you again in the depths of the stars'."

See you again in the depths of the stars.

Qi He repeated it silently, his eyes slowly traced the back of "myself" in the watercolor painting with jumping colors.

Father only left this painting... His expression loosened slightly.

"The artist's name is Ke Xiangran, and he seems to be a powerful character now." Lu Jingming opened the artist's message again and asked Qi He, "Do you know him?"

"I have no impression." Qi He shook his head, and then accidentally noticed the artist's spouse column, "...?"

He silently opened the profile link of that Alpha Wen surnamed, and as expected, he saw several familiar names in the family relationship.

"A wealthy family." Lu Jingming, who was on the sidelines, recognized the family of the Secretary of State, turned around and asked, "Are you familiar with them?"

"It's just an acquaintance." Qi He shook his head and replied, "I hardly had any acquaintances at that time, and the only one who could be called a friend was—"

In the middle of speaking, Qi He's fingers stopped suddenly, and Qi He's fingers froze at the top of the screen.

Two seconds later, he blinked hard, looked at the screen again...then subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

The world is so small.

What's wrong?Lu Jingming was at a loss.

I saw Qi He bent his eyes and clicked on a certain three-character name on the screen, then turned to him narrowly and said, "This is the one who took me to the dance, your former imaginary rival in love."

——and my first friend.

He happily added in his heart that while his mood became brighter, the last bit of hesitation completely melted away.

"...It's because my thoughts are too selfish." He laughed at himself, then shook his head at the questioning Lu Jingming.

The former teammates who went to Blue Star to look for Qi He really knew him quite well in the past.

In the past, there is a high probability that he will again choose to "disappear" on the future number ten years ago, unwilling to return to his father...

But now, after so many things, his mentality has changed.

I think the world is beautiful and life is precious because I have everything now and infinite possibilities in the future.Qi He thought quietly, if all these things are lost at the same time, then no matter how beautiful the world is, it will be just torture.

Retaining a cat in vain will only prolong its suffering. Isn't it cruel to impose one's own good hopes on others?

This is the most obvious truth. Helpless people always habitually forget the true reason and gentleness when facing a farewell.

"...I plan to go back to Hongxing alone to meet my father."

Qi He made up his mind, bent his smiling eyes and said to Lu Jingming,

"After the future is repaired, let's go to the nearest planet to buy a ticket for Blue Star..."

"You go home and wait for me."

The author says:

The three-character name is of course Xiaoyuan (roommate silly and sweet); the reason why Qi He subconsciously didn't want to go home from the beginning has already been expressed...?If you really don't get it, just wait until tomorrow.

Trying hard to write the last two chapters so that it is okay to not have read the previous work, but this is the end of the series after all, and it is the responsibility of ending and echoing, so it may not be so perfect.
