The next morning, Zhang Heng unexpectedly received a greeting card from the United States.
The words "Happy New Year" were written on the card in crooked Chinese. There was no name on it, but when Zhang Heng saw the Moresby character in the lower right corner, he knew who sent it.
Zhang Heng flipped the card to the back and saw a small line of words there. "Don't worry about the cheating detection. I've fixed the bug for you. You can play games without worry. Please continue to work hard. Smiley face. "
Zhang Heng looked up the mailing address on the computer and found that it was a motel.
The old man in the Tang suit gave Zhang Heng an extra 24 hours a day, changing his life. However, Zhang Heng had always been wary of the latter.
Especially when he picked up the old photo and found out that the old man in the Tang suit had appeared in his life as early as seventeen years ago, his vigilance had almost reached its peak. Obviously, what the old man said at the maid cafe was no longer valid. However, Zhang Heng still had no idea what the old man wanted from him.
No one knew better than him how powerful the old man's ability was. In a still world, he was the one and only king, and the old man in the Tang suit who gave him this ability would only be stronger. With the old man's strength, he could easily get whatever he wanted. If he had been targeted by the old man as early as seventeen years ago, why did he have to wait so long?
What was the difference between him seventeen years ago and him now? What kind of secret was hidden behind his parents' scientific research in Greenland? There were also the ever-weakening emotional fluctuations in him. There seemed to be some kind of secret connection between these things …
For the time being, he couldn't connect all the clues together. However, that didn't stop Zhang Heng from making preparations now. After breakfast, he took the Infinite Building Block to the game checkpoint for identification. After that, he rode to the city library to look for books and documents related to Kronos and ancient Greek mythology.
In modern society, there were fewer social interactions, but the older generation like Grandpa still maintained the custom of visiting each other during the New Year. So in the next few days, relatives and friends continued to visit each other.
Zhang Heng also paid special attention to the situation of Tian Tian's family next door, confirming that the 'curse' on Tian Tian had indeed disappeared. The family's' bad luck 'had finally passed, and they had returned to normal life. Tian Tian's mental state had also begun to gradually recover. As for Peng Jiating … Zhang Heng also saw her once on the road. She was sitting in her father's car, and the two of them were going somewhere. This time, however, her stepmother and brother were not in the back seat.
However, because of the nature of his father's work, he would only come home for a short period of time during the holidays. As for whether or not Peng Jiating's living environment would change after he left, and how it would change, Zhang Heng had no idea. It was also not within his scope of responsibility.
Three days later, Zhang Heng and his grandfather sent the two guys to the airport. They were in urgent need of a vacation.
Just like when they came, the two were still carrying big and small bags, but the things in the bags were different. They were all kinds of local products, bulging so much that their suitcases were about to burst.
Zhang Heng's father received his boarding pass from the self-service ticket machine, and the four of them hugged and said goodbye. However, Zhang Heng's mother stopped after taking two steps. "Oh yes, I almost forgot the gift."
"Gift? What gift? Didn't you give us the gift already? "
"No, no, no. The gift this time is different," Zhang Heng's mother glanced at Zhang Heng's father. "Ah, I suddenly feel a little embarrassed. You should say it."
"Summer and I want …"
Grandpa snorted, "Speak Chinese."
"Oh, sorry, Xiao Xia and I … the two of us want to have another child."
"So you only told me the most important thing now?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard that. "Am I going to be a brother?
"Well … to be precise, you are actually already a brother to be." Zhang Heng's mother stuck out her tongue. "Because of the problem of age, we actually started preparing for pregnancy a year in advance, but it wasn't until …"
"It wasn't until two weeks ago," Zhang Heng's father said. "Two weeks ago, we were just diagnosed."
"Then, in the middle of winter, you clamored for ice cream and shouted that you wanted to play all night?" Zhang Heng looked at his mother.
The latter looked guilty. "Hah … It's only six weeks, so I can't tell yet. It shouldn't be a big deal. Besides, pregnancy is very tiring. If I don't eat what I want to eat and play in advance, it'll be even more difficult in the future."
"So, didn't you tell the others before you made the decision?" Grandpa frowned. "That's too hasty. Aren't you worried that my body won't be able to take care of the child?"
Zhang Heng's mother and father looked at each other. "Well … this time, we plan to take care of the child ourselves."
"Abroad?"
"Yes, abroad. Well, we're not so busy with research now, and we have time to take care of the child. Dad, the reason why we left Hengheng with you was that we really didn't have time at that time, and he could accompany you. As for this time, we won't bother you anymore."
Grandpa was silent for a moment. "You're finally acting like a parent. You can make your own decisions, but remember to bring the child back to visit your mother and me during Chinese New Year."
"Of course, if you want, you can also come to our place. We just bought a house. It has two floors, and there's a small garden. You can also plant some flowers and plants there."
"I'll pass. I've been a party member my whole life. I'm not used to drinking water from a capitalist society," grandpa shook his head. "Besides, your mother is here. I have to visit her during Chinese New Year."
"What about you?" Zhang Heng's mother looked at Zhang Heng again. "Do you plan to study abroad after graduation? Your father and I know a lot of professors. We can still help you when it comes to school applications."
"I have no plans in this regard for the time being," Zhang Heng said. "There are still some things that haven't been resolved here, and if we all leave, Grandpa will be worried about being alone here."
The game was not over yet, and the mystery surrounding him had not been solved. Zhang Heng had no interest in thinking about going abroad.
"There are some things … Do you mean relationship problems?"
Zhang Heng smiled and did not explain further.
"Well, if you change your mind, you can call us to let us know," Zhang Heng's father finally said.
"Have a safe trip," Zhang Heng said.
Zhang Heng's mother gestured for Zhang Heng to make a phone call before carrying her backpack and walking to the security passage with Zhang Heng. The two looked back several times, waving at Zhang Heng and grandpa until they passed through the security gate and finally disappeared.
Grandpa patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder. "Let's go. We should go back."
