Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 39
"when……"

"Just now, the news probably hasn't been released yet, but it's almost there. When I got off the boat, everyone surrounded me and wanted to bring me here."

"I didn't know what happened at the time. I thought it was only a year and a half later. Did such a big thing happen? But when I saw my son, I found that it really didn't matter because I was too late. If you take one step forward, you may not see him again..."

"dad……"

"I am here……"

Xu Xinyi burst into tears.

"I, have you read the results of the college entrance examination..."

"Look, look... I also know that you were admitted as an astronaut and became the commander-in-chief of the deep space fleet. You are the youngest commander-in-chief in history..."

"I went to be the commander-in-chief of the deep space fleet just to know the news as soon as you come back... But now it seems that I am still too late... ahem..."

"It's not too late, it's not too late. I came to see you as soon as possible, but I didn't expect... I really didn't expect..."

The more Xu Xinyi talked, the more uncomfortable he became, looking at his son with white hair and wrinkles on his face, and then at himself in his prime.

Xu Xinyi was in pain no matter how he looked at it.

Qin Xu has a deep understanding of this.

Qin Xu also experienced the feeling that his parents aged 20 years in the blink of an eye, the feeling that a child wants to be raised but cannot be loved, and a tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping.

But here it's the other way around, and even more extreme.

In the blink of an eye, 70 years have passed, and when I look back, my son is already in his 90s, and I am still the boy I was back then.

Su Lixuan came over and placed a basket of fruits on Xu Jianxia's bedside.

"Xiaoxuan, you are doing well too..."

"These two are the two most outstanding crew members on our ship. I brought them here to see you."

"Okay, okay... we're all back, okay... you have so many young and energetic children, the future of the deep space fleet is left to you... By the way, dad."

"What, what's wrong?"

"Bury me and my mother together. Don't forget that she has been waiting for you, but she can't wait anymore. And I am very lucky..."

"drop--"

The instrument showed that Xu Jianxia's heart rate had become a straight line.

The hand that was tightly holding his father was suddenly loosened, and his head fell to the side weakly.

At the moment when all his obsessions were completed, his heart stopped completely.

Xu Xinyi collapsed completely, crying loudly while holding Xu Jianxia, ​​who was completely lifeless.

Chen Xiaomeng and Qin Xu stood nearby, silent and saying nothing.

Su Lixuan stood there, looking at them all the time, looking at Xu Xinyi who held Xu Jianxia tightly in his arms.

One has gray hair, the other is young and vigorous, but one can still think of their true identity and relationship.

That night, outside the rescue room, Xu Xinyi knelt on the ground and cried for a long, long time.Su Lixuan also stood outside the rescue room in a military posture all night.

The rescue failed, and Xu Jianxia finally passed away at the age of 94.

In fact, he could have lived longer, but the heart disease was difficult to cure. Xu Xinyi's sudden departure had deeply hurt Xu Jianxia's heart and laid the root of the disease.

Then Su Lixuan, his most promising junior, disappeared for 20 years in the same way as his father.

Although he knew that he would definitely come back in 20 years this time, it still became the last straw for him.

Qin Xu and Chen Xiaomeng did not have such a deep relationship with each other. They just came to visit with Su Lixuan.

They left that night, though not in a good mood.

"Qin Xu, are you okay?"

Chen Xiao dreamed of Qin Xu's parents.

Chen Xiaomeng had met Qin Xu's parents before. They met on the Sun Space Station and had dinner together. When they met again, the two elders were much older.Yes, 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and how many more 20 years are there in life?

"What about you?"

Qin Xu asked rhetorically.

"Me? I, I'm actually fine. After all, he has been gone for a long time."

"Don't you still have a mother?"

"she is not."

The expression on Chen Xiaomeng's face was unclear.

Even Qin Xu, a stubborn person, realized that he had said the wrong thing and slapped himself, "Oh, I shouldn't..."

Chen Xiaomeng grabbed his hand and smiled slightly, "It's okay, I don't mind anymore."

"And if you really say something that I can't accept, I will hit you. You don't have to hit yourself."

After listening, Qin Xu thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, for example, at noon, you wanted to stab my mouth with a mop. If I hadn't been able to foresee the future, your mop would have definitely gone in... …”

Chen Xiaomeng smiled and said, "Is it possible that it's because I know you can foresee the future that I mop it so hard?"

"Oh, so that's it." Qin Xu suddenly realized it and was completely relieved, and then said, "Then should we discuss the item my mother wants to have a grandchild with..."

"Boom-"

Pedestrians passing by felt a chill going straight to Tianling Gai, and then pretended not to hear or see anything, and left quickly.

-

The vacation of more than ten days can be long or short.

On the contrary, she took Chen Xiaomeng to her house for a meal on the way, and then she refused to go there a second time.

In addition, it is a pity that I did not complete the tasks assigned by my parents.

And soon, the holidays are approaching, and the scientific research ship will set off again.

Only now did Qin Xu discover that there was a reason why astronauts were paid such high wages.

If these wages are kept in the country and are not spent, don’t they still belong to the country?
The daily expenses of their astronauts have been covered by the country. As a result, their money is stored in the country and continues to be spent by the country.

It is equivalent to the fact that the country pays them such a high salary, but in fact it is a good calculation with the left hand and the right hand.

Qin Xu has accumulated a lot of money over the years, but he has hardly spent it.

Now he was suddenly asked to spend a lot of money, and he didn't seem to know how to spend it.

I bought a lot of things for my parents, bought a building, and then nothing happened.

I can’t spend the money anymore and I have saved too much. I give it directly to my parents, but my parents don’t dare to ask for it.

Then there is no way, we can only continue to put it on the country's side and let the country spend it.

"This is an emergency call."

When there were only a few days left in the holiday, an emergency summons notice was suddenly sent from above.

Chen Xiaomeng quickly found Qin Xu.

As expected, Qin Xu's communicator was thrown into a corner.

Moreover, the battery has not been charged once in the past ten days, so he cannot read the orders sent by his superiors.

Chen Xiaomeng sighed.

As expected, she guessed it, so she said she must notify Qin Xu in person, otherwise the other party's urine would indicate an emergency summons, and even ten cows would not be able to be brought back.

Qin Xu searched the room for a long time, and finally found the communicator that he had dropped into the crevice of the bed for more than ten days.
