Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As more details about the antimatter energy pile experiment were revealed, the sensational effect continued to grow.

Almost all of the world’s media outlets had focused their attention on Mars, which was several astronomical units away from Earth.

The last time there was a sensation of this magnitude was two months ago, when the Pan-Asian Cooperation announced a joint initiative on the Human Alliance with various regional alliances.

“Antimatter, the ultimate energy dream,” said a young woman in formal wear. She looked at the holographic panel unfolding in front of her and spoke emotionally, “It’s really hard to believe... It’s only been a year since he woke up.”

Sitting across from her, another beautiful young woman nodded with a smile on her face.

“After all, he is Academician Lu.”

The two people sitting on the shuttle that was landing on Tiangong City were Lu Xiaoqiao, the chairman of the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation, and Yang Fangfang, her professional secretary who had followed her for many years.

The two were best friends when they were students, and they both majored in finance. After graduation, Lu Xiaoqiao took over the family affairs, which was the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation, and Yang Fangfang, who was a graduate from the same prestigious university, accepted her offer as a secretary.

This time, they were going to Mars mainly because of Academician Lu’s invitation.

To be honest, even with the breakthrough in stargate technology, a trip from Earth to Mars was not particularly convenient.

Especially now that the world was entering the “Human Alliance era”, as the chairman of the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation, Lu Xiaoqiao had several important meetings to attend, but they were all rescheduled because of this matter.

Before setting off, Yang Fangfang had been persuading her to postpone the trip by two days, to at least finish the important work at hand.

But Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t follow her suggestion and insisted on coming immediately.

“Hey, why do you think Academician Lu suddenly asked you to come to Mars?”

“I don’t know.” After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head. “He didn’t tell me what it was. He just asked me to come over.”

Yang Fangfang frowned and whispered in a quiet voice, “Asking you to come here without a reason, that’s so perfunctory... Now that the communication technology is so advanced, you don’t have to come here to communicate face-to-face.”

“Don’t say that, he must have his reason for asking me to come.”

“Are you sure that this is a good thing? What if he intends to regain control over the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation...?”

“Please don’t say that.”

Yang Fangfang felt wronged. She looked at Lu Xiaoqiao and spoke.

“I’m just caring about you...”

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at her assistant and spoke in a serious tone, “This belongs to him, I was only looking after it for him. If he wants to take back his own property, it is within his rights.”

Although Yang Fangfang still wanted to say something, she dismissed the idea after seeing the expression on Lu Xiaoqiao’s face.

She knew that although Xiao Qiao seemed easygoing, when it involved issues of morals, she wouldn’t budge even if the entire board of directors tried to persuade her.

After the shuttle landed, the two quickly boarded a special car at the gate of the terminal building and headed towards Star Sky Hotel.

Inside the executive lounge, Lu Xiaoqiao finally saw her ancestor: the respected Academician Lu.

When Lu Zhou looked at the girl sitting across from him, he couldn’t help but show an old man’s smile.

He coughed softly and said hello.

“We meet again.”

Lu Xiaoqiao also had a smile on her face. Although she always felt that Academician Lu looked at her strangely, she didn’t think much about it. She just replied in a gentle tone, “Yeah... It’s been more than a year since the last time, right? How are you?”

“How am I? I’m fine.” Lu Zhou froze for a moment. He then said with a smile, “I really like the feeling of being unrestrained and diving into what I like. When I’m on Mars, I always feel some kind of special inspiration... Of course, it may also be an illusion. Perhaps I stayed on Earth too long and mistakenly regarded freshness as inspiration.”

A heartfelt smile appeared on Lu Xiaoqiao’s face.

“Regardless of whether it is freshness or inspiration, I am glad that you can find a comfortable lifestyle in this era and start a new life again.”

“New life...”

Lu Zhou’s expression suddenly became a little depressed.

After being silent for about two minutes, he sighed slightly and continued, “Only by finishing everything in the past, can we talk about starting new again. But unfortunately for me, the past is not over. Many things seem to me like they happened yesterday.”

A concerned expression appeared on Lu Xiaoqiao’s face.

“... Because of your fiancée?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “It’s not just her, there are many people... My relatives, my friends, I believe they lived a happy life in a place I can’t see. But I’m the only one alive, and the second half of this journey seems a bit... Sorry, I don’t know how to describe it.”

“Lonely?” Lu Xiaoqiao touched Lu Zhou’s hand and said softly, “It’s okay, even though they are gone, there are still people left that care about you. If you feel like you are alone, I can come to visit you at any time... And you still have friends in this world.”

“But in the end, they will be taken away by time.”

“Everyone will.”

“What if there is an exception?”

Lu Xiaoqiao made eye contact with Lu Zhou. She was slightly stunned when she heard those words; she didn’t quite understand what he meant.

Lu Zhou did not explain this, he just unconsciously reached out his right hand.

“Let me see your face.”

For some reason, Lu Xiaoqiao did not try and avoid the hand coming towards her.

But the hand did not touch her. Before it even got close to her, it moved away quickly.

“Sorry, I almost forgot that you don’t know yet, I was a little bit abrupt.”

Seeing that Lu Zhou had an awkward expression on his face, Lu Xiaoqiao smirked and said in a playful way, “How come, you are my grandfather.”

“Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I’m your grandpa’s grandpa,” Lu Zhou said in a joking tone. He went silent for a while before continuing, “There is one other thing that I haven’t told you since waking up.”

“What thing...”

Lu Zhou seemed to be thinking about how to describe his thoughts. He scratched his head and looked a little troubled as he thought for a long time.

Lu Xiaoqiao couldn’t bear to see him so annoyed, so she spoke in a gentle tone.

“If you feel embarrassed, you don’t have to tell me.”

“No, you misunderstood. Although it is a troublesome thing, it is nothing to be embarrassed about.” Lu Zhou shook his head and continued, “Actually, I have thought about letting time solve this problem... How should I put it? Although I have a lot of time left, there is not much I can leave for you guys.”

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, she said with an uncertain tone, “If you want to see me, I can come and visit you at any time.”

“You don’t understand what I mean. I will travel far away soon. The reason for asking you to come... Forget it.”

In the end, Lu Zhou did not tell her what to do once he left. He took a deep breath, looked at her with determination, and shocked her with his words.

“The bloodline in you actually belongs to me.”
