Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Winter in early November

Snowflakes are falling in abundance, but this year's snowflakes may be the most beautiful snowflakes that many people in this era have ever witnessed.

The white snowflakes made the people in the whole city feel happier than ever before. Snowflakes would not fall during the day, but they would fall at night. In the past, snowflakes would fall every winter, but the snowflakes were black. , and some slightly pungent smell.

Compared with this snowflake, the most amazing thing is that the eldest daughter of the declining Kuhn family, on the third day after breaking off her engagement with the Jiang family, was going to have an affair with Avano Ange, the only one from another big family in the city. A wedding is held in Sri Lanka.

This was unbelievable to everyone in the city. In just a few hours, the news spread like wildfire and became the talk of the entire city.

The Jiang family, which was originally criticized, was actually interfered with by a third party in front of most people, and the marriage was canceled. This is enough to show that their son Jiang Hao is an out-and-out playboy.

But now the conversation has turned to Violet, the eldest daughter of the Kuhn family. Many people say that this woman doesn't care who she gets married to, she just wants to climb high.

wedding day

Avano, who was wearing a white suit, was still in front of the mirror, and the servants were arranging his clothes. Jean, as the witness, was sitting on the window edge, holding his hands and holding a cigarette in his mouth. He really couldn't imagine it. , all this happened like a smooth sailing, and in just one day, it unexpectedly led to a wedding.

"Lord Jean, what do you think of me!"

Avano was still a little shy, standing next to Gene like a child.

"pretty good!"

After everyone went out, Avanno sat down, his face excited and excited, but more at a loss because he didn't expect that Violet would agree to his proposal on the spot, and why did he propose at that time? , I don’t know either.

At this time, in the opposite room, Violet was dressing up. Her mother, sister, brother, father, and relatives at home all kept praising herself with smiles on their faces.

Violet still couldn't believe it at this moment. Just three nights ago, she was carried here by Jean because of her hangover, but now she was getting married. Why did she answer that nerd that day? In fact, It's a common way to get angry.

The rumors from the outside world made Violet a little uncomfortable, but she had thought a lot in the past few days. The reason why she agreed to Jiang Hao was partly due to the poor management of her family and its decline.

Once you fall in this city, everyone knows what it means. In this world, the only way to unite family and family is through marriage. Blood relationship is like a contract between family and family. Only such a contract can Be credible.

At this time, the family members, relatives, brothers and sisters all went out, and Violet's father and mother stood behind her.

"Violet, although I don't know what you think, this is your choice. Now that you have chosen, don't regret it!"

squeak

The door to the room opened, and Gene walked over holding Avano with his left hand. Violet stretched out her hand, and Gene bowed slightly.

"Miss, today is your wedding, please keep smiling."

Violet laughed, dressed in a white and bright wedding dress. Jean held her left hand and led the two of them onto the red carpet outside.

The moment he walked out of the room, a roar of cheers and applause rang out, and a large number of variegated flower petals were floating in the sky. Gene smiled and took a step back, pushing the two of them in front of the guests.

Looking at the two people who looked shy at this time, Gene raised his head slightly and smiled softly. He had no way of knowing what such a sudden marriage without any preparation meant.

The purpose of Mr. and Mrs. Angus is also very obvious. They want Avano to inherit the family business, give up the meaningless drawing work in his basement in the eyes of his parents, and marry anyone. This is what he said that night. The parents had spoken to Gene some.

There must be a driving force for his son to come out of the basement and onto the table. Research is meaningless to the people in their family, because what they need to do is to control what they deserve in the city. cake.

More than 30 years ago, the eight forces united, and eventually all the forces, large and small, came together. Over the past 30 years, everything in the city has become more and more stable, and a civilized human society has been established.

The success of the life-span vaccine has made it clear to many people that after the urban structure is completely stabilized, holding on to as many things as possible is a must for those who have been at the top from the beginning.

The Angus family has fallen behind others, and it is impossible for them to be overtaken by other families. Ten years ago, father and son had a fierce quarrel.

All of Avano's engineering manuscripts, including some preliminary research crystallizations, were burned by his father. The father and son had a big quarrel. Finally, the frustrated Avano left home. The helpless Angus couple had no choice but to turn to Jean for help.

In the end, Gene brought Avano back. He had watched this child grow up, and he had an inhuman stubbornness in his bones. Although Avano came back in the end, his relationship with his parents had fallen to the freezing point, and he spent his whole life Lock yourself in the basement and continue your research on urban structure. If the city wants to build a stable ecological circle, in addition to walls, it also needs a large number of sewage pipes in the city, as well as the ability to stabilize the air. The system of water molecules can control the temperature inside the city and establish a suitable ecological circle.

More and more intense overt and covert fighting within the family will begin. This is an inevitable result. Jean has also discussed with others that he will not intervene in the internal fighting among the families for the time being, because the current situation is not yet stable enough that a war will never break out. .

Let everything stabilize first and let a cohesive family drive the development of the city. This is a necessary means to achieve stability.

The wedding ceremony ended quickly. It was just a formal wedding ceremony. Amidst the blessings of relatives, friends, and all the large and small families in the city, the groom kissed the bride.

The confusion in the eyes of this young couple at this moment was obvious to all. After their speeches, Gene held their hands again.

"Congratulations! Avano, Violet, the days to come will be long, so long that many times, you will hate each other, but please remember, what you do next is the most important thing. "

The two of them sat in the room all day long, and did not leave the room except for necessary matters related to the guests. Violet saw that her parents and relatives had already begun talking to Mr. and Mrs. Angus. Business matters have come to an end, and I can’t wait to get financial support from the Angus family.

Avano came to his senses and felt anxious. He seemed to have been given ecstasy these days. He was really married to the woman in front of him. He didn't even know what she liked or what she had said to her. , no more than 10 sentences.

"I'm going to sleep!"

With a cold word, Violet lay on the bed, and Jiang Hao's appearance appeared in her mind. Today at the banquet, she was just pretending to be strong.

That night, Avano returned to the basement. Only everything in this room made him feel at ease. However, his father did not know when he was standing behind him.

"Stop tinkering with your junk stuff, Avano. From tomorrow on, you can follow me to the company. If you were just born in a small family, or if you have older brothers, sisters, and younger brothers, I won't care about anything you do. , your grandfather led our Angus family to survive tenaciously in this cruel arena and eventually became stronger. When it comes to my generation, over the past 30 years, the situation of our family has deteriorated day by day. I don’t have you. This generation is so lucky that a life-span vaccine was developed not long after birth. I still have 20 to 30 years to live at most, so you must take care of everything as the next head of Angus' family."

"Can you wait a few days?"

The answer Avano got was no.

Time passed day by day, and a month passed quickly. Violet woke up from her sleep, and the other side of the bed was always empty.

"I'm always just an outsider."

During this month, no one could stop Violet from doing anything she wanted to do every day. She was accompanied by a personal housekeeper when traveling, and she could buy whatever she wanted. However, when asked if there was anything she could do to help, she was told to wait for a while. .

From that night on, Avano slept in the basement. Every morning, only during breakfast, the two would look at each other and smile, but it always ended in embarrassment.

Avano's heart began to become more and more painful. He was like a numb walking zombie every day, following his father to the company to learn all kinds of things that he simply couldn't accept. After attending the banquet in the evening, he returned home, dragging his tired The body continued to return to the basement, as if he had forgotten that his beloved wife stayed alone in the empty room every night.

None of this was what the two of them wanted. Gradually, when they met every morning, their smiles disappeared and their eyes became unfamiliar.

One day, Violet was drunk alone in a bar. She just smiled bitterly, holding the wine bottle in one hand, looking a little sad. She couldn't see anything in front of her, only confusion.

"Miss, do you want to have a drink together?"

A wine glass was placed in front of her. Violet raised her head and looked at Jean, who was smiling. Jean motioned to the housekeeper to go back and he would be responsible for sending Violet back.

"You bastard!"

The angry Violet threw the bottle at Jean, but Jean held it back with a finger.

"Miss! There are a lot of people here. Let's change places."

More than 10 minutes later, Violet carried a bottle of wine and acted like crazy on the top of a building. Jean just watched from a distance, looking at the edge of the rooftop, walking crookedly, looking like Violet could fall down at any time.

"I might as well fall down and die. I feel like my life is over."

Jean smiled and walked to the edge of the rooftop.

"Would you like to give it a try!"

As she spoke, Violet's eyes widened and she saw Jean poking her head with a finger. Her eyes were moving rapidly. Violet looked at the person squatting on the rooftop with her hand on her chin. of Jean.

"You bastard!"

For a moment, everything in Violet's mind was spinning rapidly. The last scene she saw was her past self, working very hard under the desk lamp late at night. For some stupid reasons, she could only spend more time than others. More time to study.

"You peed your pants, miss!"

A touch of light blue particles floated next to Violet. Jean looked at Violet with a mischievous smile, whose eyes were wet and she was crying.

"I'm really a useless piece of trash! I can't do anything."

Looking at Violet who lost her voice in pain, Jean stood aside silently. Jean saw her efforts, but it was still difficult to keep up with others because everyone was born and had different IQ levels. , she asked Jean distressedly again and again what to do.

But every time Gene just said it would be fine as always.

"Come on, I'll take you home, miss!"

Violet shook her head silently. She didn't want to go back to that place. She was always just an outsider.

"How about talking to him?"

Violet still shook her head. Stubbornness was also the strongest shield in Violet's heart. Even if she was abandoned by others, she was always arrogant and stubborn and refused to bow her head to face the sad fact.

"Sorry, miss, if you don't go back, you will be in trouble tomorrow."

Gene still picked up Violet, carried her roughly on his back, and flew towards the Angus manor.

In the dead of night, at 2 o'clock in the morning, Avano, who was immersed in engineering drawings, was interrupted by the smell of smoke behind him. Gene walked over and picked up the city's underground structure map drawn by Avano.

"Yes, but it's a pity that this is not what you should do now."

Avano sat on the ground a little frustrated. He originally thought Jean would help him, but Jean didn't say anything, even on the wedding day.

"Your wife is drunk and needs someone to take care of her. This is your responsibility as a husband."

Avano shook his head.

"There are servants who will."

Avano lowered his head, looking slightly pained, and Gene took off his glasses.

“What’s the point of doing these things?”

Avano tilted his head stubbornly.

"Then what's the point of what you're making, Mr. Jean?"

Gene smiled bitterly, put down the drawing, then turned around and walked away.

"The meaning is that I no longer want to see war anymore!"

"Then what I do is meaningful. As long as this plan can be completed, the city's ecological circle can be stabilized and have a strong sewage system. I am also doing it for the future of this city."

Gene put out the cigarette butt, blew out a puff of smoke, tilted his head and said.

"You're not qualified yet!"

After Gene left, Avano angrily tore the drawings into pieces. He pounded the workbench with both hands. Time and time again, he was fed up with this kind of life. Every day in the company's premises during the day and at the banquet venue at night, All he sees are hypocritical faces wearing masks, and he needs to distinguish the authenticity behind these masks one by one.

What Avano likes most is the changing weather, rain, thunder, lightning, snow, and the inner feeling of fullness when the sun rises. These are all real. He doesn't like the smell of the upper air very much. , making him feel a little uncomfortable. He has been very tired every day recently.

Thinking back carefully, why he said those words that day, maybe it was because he saw Violet's body with a very beautiful and dazzling color. But after being separated from that joy, after returning to reality, Ah Vanuo realized everything. Getting married meant that his original life would be completely stripped away.

The fate has been decided, and Avano has no way to break it. He must make a decision and bear everything for the entire Angus family.

"It's really ridiculous. What on earth am I doing in all of this!"

"That's what I want to say too!"

Realizing that Violet was sitting on the spiral staircase, wearing a soft black gauze pajamas, her consciousness was blurred, her eyes were red, and she was smiling bitterly.

"Miss Violet, I."

"Why did you say those words that day!"

Avano was silent, choked with sobs. After a while, reason seemed to have prevailed again.

"Then why did you agree!"

"I don't know either!"

Avano smiled slightly.

"I don't know either!"

Time passed as usual every day, and life was the same. Avano gradually adapted to some things in the company, and Violet also began to learn some things and started taking care of the garden by herself every day.

It's just that the two of them are still the same as before. Apart from eating and attending banquets, they don't have much interaction. They get along calmly like a small stream. No one takes the initiative to speak because they are both equally stubborn and have extremely strong self-esteem. , unwilling to say even half a word.

At the end of a banquet three months later, Avano negotiated a business deal with some businessmen under the leadership of his father.

The couple were also a little drunk and left the banquet holding hands, but the moment they stepped out the door, Violet let go of her hand, and Avano walked forward quickly.

The car started, but tonight someone else was driving it. Violet drunkenly increased the power, and the car was speeding down the street. Avano just looked at the pedestrians passing by, each one horrified. expression.

Finally, the car drove onto First Avenue and the speed increased. Avano was unaware of it, and at this time, Violet had no intention of stopping.

When Avano realized that the car was speeding past the door of his house, Violet was already drunk on the steering wheel. Although the car was equipped with a semi-AI automatic recognition system, it was still flipping in the air and hit the ground smoothly. on the iron fence of the Hillman family estate across the street.

In the smoke and dust, the two people, who had completely woken up, climbed out of the car, their heads bruised and bleeding. However, the moment they saw each other, they suddenly burst out laughing for no reason.

A large number of reporters arrived, and the couple leaned next to the crashed car, grinning and gesticulating.
