Chapter 1587: The Legend of Heroes is a Long Story

The discharge procedure was quickly completed.

In fact, when Lu Xiaoqiao called Lu Zhou, Vera had basically recovered.

However, due to her being in a dormant state for a long time, the various organs in her body had yet to fully adapt to the feeling of being awake, thus causing her to occasionally feel weak and tired. Otherwise, her health aspects were basically no different from normal people.

Future technology was quite amazing.

From the perspective of those from the 21st century, this was like a miracle.

Back to the suburbs of Jinling.

Xiao Ai, with a drone sitting on her head, was hiding quietly while staring at this special guest.

As a form of artificial intelligence, big data intuition told her that the two-person household that comprised of herself and her master might be disrupted.

At least for a while.

Through the holographic operation interface, Lu Zhou skillfully waved his index finger and assigned the permission to use the door locks to Vera one by one.

After turning off the holographic panel, he then looked at the bewildered little girl who was standing in the living room with flushed cheeks and continued, “Before you find a place to live, you can live here for the time being. Your room is in a guest room on the second floor. The door lock can be operated through your personal terminal. I have sent you the electronic key.”

“Eh?”

Seeing an unexpected expression on Vera’s face, Lu Zhou cast a questioning glance at her.

“What’s the problem?”

Vera whispered: “What if I can’t find a suitable place to live in?”

“How come?” Lu Zhou smiled and gave her an encouraging look. “I will help you.”

Vera gently pressed her lips into the shape of a w, but she soon returned to her usual appearance and politely whispered, “Thank you.”

She seemed reluctant.

Lu Zhou spent a whole afternoon helping her organize the room and teaching her some knowledge about this era and common sense in life.

For example, Xiao Ai was a robot, and robots were good friends of mankind, as well as an assistant to the family.

Also, in this information age, the holographic ID code that marked one’s identity meant everything, whether it was credit points or anything else. It was linked to one’s ID, so it must be kept well.

As well as…

The research project he was doing.

After finishing these things, just as Lu Zhou was about to return back to his laboratory, a small hand suddenly grabbed his cuff.

“Wait a minute…”

There was a firm tone in that soft voice.

Faced with the eyes that were shining like lake water, Lu Zhou fell into silence.

He might have guessed what she wanted to say.

“Although it may be a century ago to you, it still feels like yesterday to me. Thank you for the last kiss. Although I fell asleep in the end… Fortunately, after I woke up, you are still here.

“Although it was a century ago, my thoughts haven’t changed.

“The first person I thought of after waking up was you, and the one I wanted to see the most was also you…

“So…”

Looking at the girl with anxiety and hope on her face, Lu Zhou knew that he could no longer hesitate like this, so he put on a serious look, looked at her, and said, “Listen, I have to tell you something.”

The sentimental voice paused slightly.

Looking at Lu Zhou who had a serious expression on his face, Vera, who had already felt something, spoke in a softly trembling voice.

“Tell me.”

“I…” Lu Zhou said after being silent for a while, “I already have a fiancee.”

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

The whole space seemed to be frozen; even Xiao Ai, who was hiding and peeking quietly, froze there.

In the end, the slightly trembling eyelashes broke the silence.

Seeing a trace of sadness in her eyes, Lu Zhou was about to say something to comfort her, but she suddenly said, “That person… must be a very beautiful girl.”

Although Lu Zhou didn’t understand why she said this, he still nodded his head.

“Yeah, in my mind, she is irreplaceable.”

Even though she was from a century ago…

After listening to the words that were spoken without any hesitation, Vera felt a faint tingling in her chest.

But she was no longer the cowardly little girl who could only be saved by others.

After taking a deep breath, she tried to restrain the sorrow that filled her chest and continued, “I may have seen her.”

“You should have seen her when she was in Stockholm a long time ago, she was the one—”

“I mentioned before, that when I was asleep, I had a very long dream,” Vera interrupted Lu Zhou. She then smiled softly and continued, “Although I didn’t quite understand who the person standing in front of the crystal coffin was, but I now understand who was the person I saw at that time.”

Do dreams occur during frozen dormancy?

Although it was difficult to do this in terms of scientific theories, as a scholar, Lu Zhou was very clear about the nature of science, that there were many things that science couldn’t explain…

Besides, he had a similar experience when he was on Mars.

“Did you dream of her?”

“Technically, it might not have been a dream. Although there was something separating us, she seemed to be standing next to me.”

Lu Zhou immediately asked, “What did she say to you?”

“I don’t remember the rest, but what I can remember is that she said that you went to a place far, far away. She also said that if a miracle could happen, she hoped that I could take care of you for her.”

That does seem like something she would say…

Just like his “last words” in that holographic video, he hoped that she would forget about him and start a new life.

Looking at Lu Zhou who was in silence, Vera’s eyes swayed with hope, and she said softly, “I lost to time… But luckily, a miracle really happened. Today, 100 years later, I met you again.”

Lu Zhou: “But I might not change my mind. To you, what happened 100 years ago is the same as if it happened yesterday, but it is the same for me. Everything seems to have happened yesterday. Two years ago, I made a promise in front of Lake Mälaren. I promised her on a snowy night last year that I would give her a star—”

Vera blinked slightly.

“But that was a century ago.”

After being silent for a while, Lu Zhou nodded.

“Yes… even though it was a century ago.”

A smile appeared on her face as Vera continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t let the person I love become a liar. He is a hero in my mind.”

Looking at Lu Zhou who was silent, she continued, “That formula… is for speed navigation.”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Looking at Lu Zhou, Vera plucked up the courage and continued speaking in a firm tone, “I will help you complete it.”

Hearing these words, Lu Zhou showed a hint of surprise on his face. He looked at her in disbelief and confirmed, “Are you serious?”

“Yeah.”

As she nodded lightly, her fluffy and soft hair exuded the brilliance of an angel.

She looked at Lu Zhou in front of her and continued in a serious tone, “The legend of heroes is a long story.

“I will go to Tau Ceti with you regardless of whether you plan to come back or not.

“After fulfilling that promise, the rest of the story will belong to us.”
