Zhang Lisheng's understanding made Lili dispel her last concern. After that, the mother and son bathed in the rare bright sunshine in the cold winter. The mother lovingly fried beef pancakes while the child patiently waited for his favorite brown and crispy pancakes to be cooked out of the pot. Then, they began to chat and laugh happily.
Such a warm moment of enjoying family happiness with his mother had never happened before in Zhang Lisheng's memory. The young man could not help but cherish it. As he spoke, he looked out of the window at the clean street that seemed to have been specially washed after the rain.
The roadside trees that appeared to be full of vitality after drinking the rain.
There was not a single cloud on the face of the clear blue sky that was always filled with a smile. However, he did not expect that his gaze would stretch infinitely through the clouds and stars. In the vast universe, a huge fleet made of strange metal that was shining with a moist light was about to change the fate of all the Earthlings, including him, who were already at a loss and in fear.
"Tauris, what are you thinking about?" In an inconspicuous battleship in an inconspicuous battleship, a slender and graceful woman, whose body was tightly wrapped in a soft silver spacesuit, was looking at the vast universe in front of the observation window with a dazed expression. All of a sudden, a soft voice resonated from behind her.
When she turned around in a panic, she saw that the person who asked the question was an old man with sparse, dry, crimson short hair, wearing a pure black robe embroidered with starlight spots, and his facial features filled with benevolent temperament, the woman's stiff body relaxed a little. She lowered her head and stuttered as she replied, "N-Nothing, Sage Quis."
"Is that so? But I can see your flustered heart, child," The old man smiled and shook his head gently before replying at a moderate speed.
"I-I'm flustered because I've been on the spaceship for too long, Sage Quis. Maybe it's the early symptom of the Universe Blindness Syndrome. I-I'll look for a medic to deal with it," The woman stuttered as she explained.
At this time, a mechanical female voice resonated from the curved ceiling of the spaceship's wide semicircular corridor, "Manager Tauris, Manager Tauris, please go to cabin IT0981 to standby. Please go to … standby."
Hearing the call, Tao Lisi breathed a sigh of relief and said to the old man, "Sage Quis, the officer is calling me. I, I should go." A faint white light radiated from her body, and her body floated up.
"Go, child. When you're lost, just remember that you were born in this universe and you're an intelligent human. This is proof that the universe loves you." Looking at the woman's feet leaving the ground with a loving gaze, the old man opened his arms and made a gesture as if he was hugging the vast universe outside the window. Then, he turned around and walked away slowly and steadily.
Just as he took a few steps forward, a hesitant voice suddenly resonated behind him, "Sage Quis, can I ask you a question? Since I'm born in this universe and I'm an intelligent human, it's the proof of the universe's love. Then, are the Tatetutu people who are also born in this universe and are also intelligent humans also loved by the universe?"
"Yes, Tao Lisi, they're also loved by the universe. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been born." The old man turned around and said with a kind expression, "However, just like how the organs and limbs of the human body will become sick, the stars in the universe will also become sick.
The humans born on this planet are just like the cells born on the diseased organs. They're born because they're loved by the universe, but they're unconsciously threatening their own great 'mother'!
Our ancient ancestors used 'iron', 'blood', and warm hearts to correct their mistakes and saved our common 'mother'. Now, we're doing the same thing. Do you understand, Tao Lisi? "
Although the Quis Quis she saw did not change at all, Tao Lisi could faintly feel that the old man in front of her exuded an indescribable sinister aura.
The woman, whose heart was already taut, did not dare to say anything more. Stuttering, she replied, "I-I understand, Sage Quis Quis. I-I understand now." Then, as though she was escaping, she turned around and flew rapidly along the spacecraft's tunnel, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the faint light that Tao Lisi pulled out in the tunnel that disappeared in a flash, the old man's pupils shrunk as he muttered, "Another confused and uncertain heart.
If it's in the 'glorious era', this kind of 'cell' that can easily mutate would have been eliminated long ago, but now, it can appear openly in the holy war army. This is really a shameful degeneration … "
While he was muttering in a low voice, he suddenly saw a 'light man' that was flying rapidly in the tunnel stopped abruptly and greeted him respectfully, "Sage Quis, I'm here to pay my respects to you."
"Hello, child of the universe." In an instant, the old man regained his benevolent demeanor. With a loving smile, he opened his arms at the light man and replied. Lowering his head, he slowly walked into the dark depths of the tunnel. At this moment, Zhang Lisheng, who had just finished eating the beef pancake that his mother had carefully cooked, was washing his hands while praising the deliciousness of the pancake.
"Mom, if your dream is not to become a great educator but to open a chain of pancake fast food restaurants, you would have long made more money than me. This beef pancake is really delicious!"
"Oh baby, looks like your career is really getting more and more successful. You're also getting more and more compliments from other people. Otherwise, how could you be so good at flattering people?" Lili put the tableware into the dishwasher and smiled as she walked up to her son and kissed him. "Have a good rest at noon. I'll make you seafood porridge tonight."
Zhang Lisheng washed his hands and nodded. Without warning, he heard a ringing sound resonating from his trouser pocket.
When he took out his phone and saw that it was a picture of his girlfriend smiling gently on the screen, the young man smiled at his mother and said, "It's Tina, mom. Let me take a look." He walked around the dining table and picked up the phone. In an instant, his girlfriend's sweet voice resonated in his ears. "Baby, are you awake? Let's go to Goose Pond for breakfast together?"
"Tina, the time now is …" Zhang Lisheng looked at the electronic clock on the wall and smiled wryly. "11: 05. I've already eaten lunch."
"I just got up from the bed and haven't opened the curtains yet. Is it already so late?" The girl's surprised voice resonated from the phone. "But even if it's already 11 o 'clock now, it's not even lunchtime yet. Why are you eating so early today?"
"Oh, I went back to see my mom this morning. She's making beef pancakes for me, so I had lunch early …" Zhang Lisheng replied with a smile. The instant his words left his mouth, his mother's understanding voice resonated from the kitchen. "Baby, I'll go look for your Auntie Rachel in the afternoon. You go play with Tina."
"Alright, mom," Zhang Lisheng replied and said into the phone. Zhang Lisheng replied and said into the phone, "I know it's your call, so my mom is going to chase me out of the house to accompany you."
"What a kind, lovely and understanding mother. If I have the chance to become her son's wife in the future, I'll definitely become her good friend too …" Tina blurted out a joke on the phone. However, when she was halfway through her sentence, she suddenly stopped and became silent for a while before whispering with a smile, "Oh, I almost forgot that you won't find a Caucasian to be your wife …"
"Tina, a person's mind changes all the time. When we first started dating, didn't you say that your relationship would not stabilize until you're 30 years old?" Zhang Lisheng could tell that there was something wrong with his girlfriend's voice. Baffled, he casually said, "What I mean is, if you want it, I can go buy a ring right away …"
After dating for a few years, the young man already felt that it was impossible for him to find a girl who was more suitable, understanding and supportive of him than Tina. In his opinion, it was not a big deal to get engaged.
"Wait, wait, wait, baby! W-What did you say just now?" The girl's dry laughter came to an abrupt halt as she asked with a trembling voice.
"I said that if you want it, I'll go buy a ring right away. What's wrong?" Zhang Lisheng strolled out of the house and said clearly outside the door.
"Oh, oh, sh * t, I, I feel like my heart is going to explode. You made me cry, baby, you, you, I, I, I …" The girl on the other side of the phone suddenly burst into tears.
"Are you alright, Tina?" When Zhang Lisheng heard his girlfriend's crying getting louder and louder, he could not help but ask in astonishment.
"I'm alright, I'm alright, my dear. I've never thought that a person could feel such great happiness just because of a sentence. Thank you! Thank you, baby! I love you! I'll love you forever!"
"Is that so? Then I'll go buy a ring and see you."
"No, no, there's no need for that, baby. My parents will definitely go crazy if they know that I'm getting married before I graduate from college. I believe your family will not be able to adapt to it as well. Not only that, both of us are indeed too young, so we can't afford a family yet. What I need is just what you said just now, not a ring."
"I don't understand what you mean?"
"It's very simple, baby. The definition of our previous relationship was a guy without a girlfriend and a girl without a boyfriend getting together and becoming a couple.
But now, it's a man and a woman seriously dating for the purpose of marriage. This … this really makes me feel intoxicated … "
"Oh, I still don't quite understand, but it's fine as long as you're happy." Zhang Lisheng shrugged and said, "So, there's no need to buy a ring, right?"
"Shut up, Zhang Lisheng! Don't destroy the perfect vision I have for you in my heart right now!"
"Ah, let me rephrase my question then. I'll go to you directly now, am I right?" When Zhang Lisheng heard Tina calling his name directly in a rare fierce tone, he was taken aback and said after pondering for a while.
"Yes, pick me up at home directly. You can drive from Brooklyn to the Upper West Side. I should be ready to go out now. Let's celebrate today."
"Celebrate? Oh yes, of course we must celebrate! Wait for me, Tina, I'll see you later!" Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone as he spoke. He returned to the house to bid farewell to his mother and drove to Manhattan.
