Chapter 568: The Cage in My Heart
On the edge of an asteroid, the little Qiangguang brain found an asteroid free on the edge. This asteroid seemed particularly out of place on the edge, giving people an inexplicable desolation and loneliness.
The asteroid seems to have no orbit, and it is quietly suspended in the air, as if it has melted into the eternal darkness.
Elizabeth is close to the asteroid.
Through holographic scanning, it is shown that the asteroid is not circular, but irregular in shape, composed of two rugged peaks. In the middle of the peak is a small valley. There is a metal dome with a diameter of less than 50 meters. Around the dome, there is a small porthole, revealing a warm light.
According to the calculations of the light brain, there should be a small docking dock at the location of the asteroid peak, but what is presented to people is a mess. The dock has been completely destroyed, leaving only a dilapidated ruin.
Obviously, the owner of the asteroid did not want outsiders to disturb her and destroyed all the channels with the outside world.
"It's impossible to connect, there are no communication devices on the asteroid." Xiao Qiangguang's face showed a hint of regret.
"Liu Fei, I want to go up and take a look." Looking at the lonely asteroid, Chen Chen's face showed a hint of sadness.
"Um."
Liu Fei nodded, for no reason, his heart was extremely heavy, and this feeling was indescribable.
Chenchen changed into a space suit, and Xiao Qiao clamored to go up and check it out, so she also changed into a space suit.
Liu Fei held one hand and took the two of them to the asteroid. When the three of them stepped onto the asteroid, they felt the gravity. Obviously, there was a gravity generator on the asteroid.
This unsightly asteroid is composed of two steep peaks. In the middle of the valley, an irregular path is carved. The path is very narrow and cannot be said to be beautiful. It extends windingly towards the valley.
The three of them walked about five hundred meters, and the metal dome that was almost invisible to the naked eye appeared in front of them.
On the holographic image, the metal dome looks very clean and grand, and the light emitted from the porthole is extremely warm. In fact, the dome in front of the three people is covered with dust and looks extremely vicissitudes. It is like after endless years, the light emitted from the porthole is extremely weak, and the cold light cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Next to the dome, close to the cliff, there is a small antimatter power compartment. Obviously, this power compartment provides energy guarantee for the dome.
Through the porthole, you can see the internal space inside the dome.
Inside the dome is a simple room. In addition to the life circulation system, there is also a bedroom, a hall, a study and a bathroom, and no kitchen. However, there is a self-sufficiency cabin with an area of about 100 square meters, which are planted with some vegetables, fruits and melons and a small amount of grain.
There is no doubt that this is a self-sufficient miniature space.
What surprised the three of them was that the dome was completely welded and sealed, and there was no channel connected to the outside world. In other words, the owner of the dome had never thought of leaving here.
The three of them circled around the dome and finally found Shu Rou in an empty room next to the cliff.
Shu Rou wore a long white robe, wrapping her body. The long black hair at her waist formed a huge contrast with the white robe, forming a strong visual impact between black and white. In fact, not only Shu Rou's outfit is black and white, but the entire inner space of the dome is simple black and white, white walls, black floors, without any decorations or other colors. Even some essential household items are made up of black and white.
The black and white style often gives people a bright feeling, but on this dark asteroid, the black and white style gives people a cold and inexplicable depression
Shurou stood in front of the porthole, closing her eyes toward the cliff, her thin cheeks were extremely pale, and her supposedly graceful figure looked empty under the wide white robe. From a distance, she looked as weak as if she was terminally ill.
For some reason, Liu Fei felt a stinging pain in his heart.
Time and space seem to have solidified.
As if she felt something, Shu Rou, who had closed her eyes tightly, suddenly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Liu Fei, two lines of clear tears flowed down from her cheeks without any flaws, and her weak body couldn't help but tremble.
"Liu Fei, take her away." Chen Chen gently pulled Liu Fei's clothes.
Liu Fei nodded like a puppet.
"Xiao Qiao, let's go back."
"I want to see--"
"Let's go back!" Chen Chen said sternly.
"Ah—oh—" Xiao Qiao looked shocked. Chenchen had never spoken to her in such a stern tone now.
Chenchen turned around and left first. Xiao Qiao paused and hesitated for a moment. Still following Chenchen, leaving Liu Fei like a stone sculpture.
The two stared at each other through the porthole.
One minute.
Ten minutes.
Fifty minutes.
Shu Rou's tears seemed to flow dry, but she just looked at Liu Fei quietly, with a rare warmth on her face. Obviously, she was recalling the past years and the days she spent with a young boy-
Gradually, Liu Fei's emotions calmed down.
Next, an amazing scene appeared in front of Shu Rou.
Liu Fei slowly walked closer to the porthole, like liquid, squeezed in bit by bit, while the metal dome and glass porthole were not damaged at all, they were like elastic rubbers.
Under Shu Rou's shocked expression, Liu Fei's body appeared in the dome bit by bit.
Finally, Liu Fei stood in front of Shu Rou, and the porthole and metal behind him were miraculously intact.
"Please." Shu Rou recovered from the shock and turned around and walked towards another room.
Liu Fei didn't say anything and followed Shu Rou.
The two of them came to a spacious room, where they were supposed to be designed as a living room, but the owner seemed to have never thought about entertaining guests. The huge space seemed empty.
Shurou poured two cups of tea, and the air was filled with the fragrance of tea, adding warmth to this depressing space.
"Please sit."
Shu Rou sat cross-legged on the ground first, while Liu Fei also sat opposite Shu Rou according to his compliments.
"Drinking tea, this is the tea I grow myself, it is very fragrant."
"Yeah, it's very fragrant." Liu Fei took a short taste and nodded.
"Are you okay?" Shu Rou looked at Liu Fei and asked softly.
"It's okay, what about you?"
"It's very good, I like my current life." Shu Rou looked around and smiled softly.
"Why?" Liu Fei stared at Shu Rou with deep eyes.
"No, why." Shu Rou shook her head.
"You are atonement?"
"Can we not talk about this issue?" Shu Rou said softly.
"Well, go back with me." Liu Fei said.
"Go back with you?"
"Yes."
"Do you still love me?" Shurou's face showed a hint of shy blush.
"I don't know." Liu Fei shook his head.
"Then you tell me to go back with you?"
"Maybe--"
"If you go back, will you marry me?" Shu Rou smiled.
"This—maybe——" Liu Fei felt a fever on his face.
"What should Chenchen do?"
"She—she might agree—"
"But, I won't agree." Shu Rou looked at Liu Fei with a clear look, as if she wanted to see through Liu Fei's internal organs. "I am not Chenchen, who is open-minded, but Shu Rou, the heart of a snake and scorpion."
Liu Fei did not answer and was silent for a while.
The needles fell from the empty room and the two looked at each other quietly.
"No matter what, you can't stay here." Liu Fei suddenly made up his mind and stood up suddenly.
"Liu Fei, don't be strong, please keep the last bit of dignity for me." Shu Rou immediately realized what Liu Fei was going to do and begged to look at Liu Fei.
Looking at Shu Rou's begging eyes, Liu Fei's body shook and he sat down dejectedly.
"Liu Fei, thank you, thank you for allowing me to live with dignity." Shu Rou was already in tears as she watched Liu Fei sit down.
"Why?" Liu Fei's voice was low, as if he had endless depression.
"Liu Fei, you know, I know, you understand. Actually, I love you too, but that kind of love is not enough to make me give everything for you, including my dignity. Also, you have endless life, and how many years do I have? I don't want to grow old in front of you, and I don't want you to see my wrinkled face,"
"You can also practice the gate of evolution."
"No, for me, the longer I live, the stronger my guilt will be. Living has become a burden. Now I am trying hard to live, and I just tell the world with my actions that I am a strong woman, a dignified woman, not a woman who washes away shame with death."
"Why care about other people's opinions-" Liu Fei sighed.
"In this world, there are free and easy people, like you and Li Meng. And this world is not short of people like me, and they will never get out of the cage in their hearts - well, Liu Fei, there is no need to convince me, I am Shu Rou. If I can't convince myself, I believe that no one in this world can convince me. Stay with me, just like at Zhuoer Mecha University - if time can go backwards - it's a pity - time can't go backwards -" Shu Rou showed a lonely bitter smile on her face.
Time goes back.
The two sat quietly, staring at each other, as if they had returned to those green years—
