Old couple reborn daily [Interstellar]

The moment she woke up and didn't open her eyes, Xia Qiaoan felt something was wrong.

However, the mind that was about to wake up was still passively slacking off, just like him, he didn't wake up thoroughly, so he let the feeling of something wrong linger in the bottom of his heart, unable to get up the energy to figure it out immediately, first he slowly stretched out his hand into his arms Put—no touch.

... His big baby got up so early today?

Xia Qiaoan murmured to himself suspiciously, even if he hadn't opened his eyes yet, the darkness outside his eyelids could make him feel that the room must be completely dark.

He could even hear the slight sound of the temperature control system running.

The room temperature is maintained at the most comfortable and sleepable level, and the moisture content in the air should be just right.

Xia Qiaoan slowly stretched out her hands from her arms again, and stretched out to the sides of the bed.

He felt empty again.

The quilts on both sides of the bed were empty and cold, only a small area close to him had some body temperature.

And they are not only cold, but also very flat to the touch, so flat that it doesn't look like anyone has slept there.

Xia Qiaoan: "..."

wrong!

Xia Qiaoan jumped up suddenly.

Stimulated by the news that "my partner seems to have disappeared in the middle of the night", he was shocked and finally woke up completely.

Then Xia Qiaoan, who sat up, stared at the room layout presented in front of her eyes, and then remained in a daze for at least another 3 minutes.

The room was as dark as he had expected, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the retractable shades on the windows were probably lowered, so that no light from the outside could penetrate, leaving the room in pure, quiet darkness. inside.

The darkness did not affect his vision.

"Am I still awake?" Xia Qiao thought to herself.

He had every reason to suspect that he was actually still in a dream.

Because what he sees is not the room where he and his eldest baby are at all.

This room is still spacious, clean and tidy. On the table a little far away, there is an electronic learning board for secondary college students, standing upright.

With Xia Qiaoan's night vision level, he can even see the style of the learning board and the school badge on the edge.

There is a cocoon-style holographic simulation cabin in one corner. The lights on the control panel outside the simulation cabin are all dimmed. Its paint surface is smooth and looks brand new, but there is a mottled piece near the door panel, as if it has been violently beaten by someone. fist.

Xia Qiaoan recognized that this simulation cabin was a popular model ten years ago.

He had one like this when he was young.

When this simulation cabin was first released, the family who loved him very much bought it back for him.

And he just happened to have typed it right after receiving it.

Because the simulation cabin happened to be at hand, at that time there was a young man who was so angry that he needed to vent his fist and hit the machine hard, as if he was using the simulation cabin as someone's stand-in.

The machine was fine except for some paint peeling off, but it was Xia Qiaoan himself, who pressed his fingers heavily on the high-strength alloy plate with a high protection factor, and almost broke his fingers because he angered an innocent machine.

Reminiscing so far, Xia Qiaoan seemed to have a sense of it. She looked down at her left hand that was casually placed on the quilt—it was carefully wrapped with a bandage. She raised her hand to her nose and smelled it carefully, and she could smell the smell of medicine coming through the bandage.

Xia Qiaoan: "..."

So, what's going on here?

Xia Qiaoan was sure that his life was normal until he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He shouldn't have been a boy long ago, and he should have moved out of the room he lived in when he was young. The upright learning board on the table looked familiar but unfamiliar. Xia Qiaoan still remembered some of its basic operation methods, but it was only One point, not humility.

Because he has graduated from the Imperial Higher Academy for many years, the last time he came into contact with this thing was to observe the progress of his friend's cub's homework.

He was married a long time ago, had his own small family and a single-family villa, and just finished the sixth anniversary night with his legal partner before going to bed. , By the end of the day, I was exhausted enough, and with the last bit of energy I had, I took a battle bath, then climbed into bed and fell asleep in a hug.

It should have been a wonderful evening.

The partner who is connected with the same mind is tired but satisfied, hugging and falling asleep, and then ushering in a morning when both of them lie in bed, sleeping together until noon or even afternoon to welcome the first day of the seventh year of marriage.

Before Xia Qiaoan could only half-open his eyes and was about to fall asleep at any time, he hugged his partner whose breathing had gradually stabilized, and tenaciously touched the terminal with the last of his consciousness, and placed a scheduled delivery of fresh products one.

Because he feels that his big baby is exhausted tonight and needs a good rest tomorrow, and on this equally special day, the first day of the seventh year, he needs to do more exemplary things—such as taking care of everything tomorrow. cooking tasks.

Who knew the world would be so unpredictable.

When he opened his eyes again, his arms were empty, the bed next to him was cold, and the environment he was in had also changed.

The partners who had just passed the sixth anniversary night separated for no reason at night, and one of them returned to his past room inexplicably, and it seemed that he had gone back in time in his sleep.

What is this called?

Xia Qiaoan couldn't sit still any longer, she quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

He needs to collect more information to confirm the current situation.

Maybe as he collects and collects... he will find out that this is really just an overly real dream, or is it a prank carefully planned by his group of friends who not only have various abilities, but also have various ways to damage them?

Xia Qiaoan was lucky.

But after carefully exploring the entire room for a round, opening the learning board and the simulation cabin in turn, and confirming the date, time, coordinates, and the user's basic body values ​​one by one, he had no choice but to kill his luck with his own hands.

The word "suspected" can already be dropped.

He was really confused, so he went back in time without warning.

There is an attached small bathroom in this room, and there is a full-length mirror in the bathroom.

Xia Qiaoan stood in front of the mirror, and looked at the mirror to reflect his current appearance - his body was transforming from a teenager to a young man. He was still tall, with long hands and long legs, but at first glance, he lacked exercise, and his shoulders and back were still thin , revealing a sense of youthfulness.

The same goes for the face.

Although the facial features are the one Xia Qiaoan is used to seeing when he is an adult, the outline is not clear enough, and the lines are not sharp enough. These unclear lines make his current face look more beautiful and soft than when he was an adult... and also lacks such things as "steady" ", "reliable" and "reliable" and other temperaments.

Xia Qiaoan tried to find the feeling, and curled the corners of her mouth at the mirror.

The boy in the mirror immediately gave him a smile that raised his brows slightly, quite recklessly and proudly.

Xia Qiaoan: "..."

Xia Qiaoan: "...tsk."

Ten years later, except for Xia Qiaoan's occasional flirtatious talk and slightly indecent words and deeds, both of which are basically aimed at his own partner, in general, he is still reliable in the future, and he is a man who starts to do business. A person who can make companions and friends praise "outstanding ability, very reassuring".

But the problem is that all these good qualities, including their degree of recognition in the eyes of relatives and friends around them, are "limited after ten years".

Xia Qiaoan ten years ago was still the well-known, conceited, spoiled young master Xia.

Young Master Xia is young and energetic and has a good mouth. He has good genetics and his parents are both excellent A-level bloodline carriers. In the big competitions, he is not inferior to anyone in terms of grades and looks, and has always been among the best among his peers.

Therefore, although his words and deeds often go too far, his behavior is a bit annoying, and his sense of superiority is overwhelming at every turn, no one will particularly care about him,

Part of it really doesn't mind, thinking that he is still young, and it would be nice if he grew up a bit.

The other part is that even if he minds, his young master Xia still has the ability to be arrogant, at most he can only criticize his stinky personality, hoping that he will stumble sooner or later, and fall down to experience the feeling of being ridiculed.

Then when she was approaching adulthood, Xia Qiaoan really stumbled.

Their family has a human-like appearance, but they are not of the same family as the intelligent species that originated from that blue planet.

There are many high-level intelligent species with humanoid forms in this vast universe. It may be generally believed that human forms are better adapted to the current civilization, so most of them like to lean in this direction when evolving.

However, even though multiple races have evolved human forms, this has not resulted in the convergence of life forms in the universe.

Everyone looks like a human being, but the racial characteristics are still engraved in the bloodline genes, and will not be lost due to changes in form after evolution.

It's like the high-level Zerg that Xia Qiaoan belongs to.

Different from the "Zerg" in some common sense records of the planet, Xiaqiao'an's family has more females and fewer males, and regardless of male or female, their appearance is more inclined to males among humans.

For the aliens who saw the advanced Zerg for the first time, they are a magical race of "I can't confirm the gender even if I take off my pants".

Young Master Xia stumbled because he was caught in the "third stage of evolution" that all advanced Zerg would go through.

They have to undergo a total of three stages of evolution in their lives. After each evolution, a Zerg can obtain a leapfrog improvement in ability, and his appearance and physique will also undergo corresponding changes.

And this third stage of evolution, which ranks last in the entire evolution process, is also the most important link in the evolution process.

Passing through the third stage of evolution means that a Zerg has officially entered adulthood.

Wherever the third stage of evolution raises his comprehensive value, he will have as much ability as an adult. Unless a rare opportunity arises in the future, this is the value of his peak strength, and it will not increase further.

Xia Qiaoan stumbled in the third stage of evolution, not because the evolution improvement was very unsatisfactory.

It's because his evolutionary period has been delayed.

According to conventional cognition, only the crippled Zerg cubs will not be able to evolve when the evolution period should come.

Xia Qiaoan's first and second stages of evolution were normal and smooth. Seeing that the secondary college was about to graduate, peers had begun to submit applications to their favorite colleges, but his third stage of evolution had never been seen.

He couldn't even produce the numerical report form required in the application materials.

So, does this mean that his young master Xia is actually disabled?

Obviously not.

Ten years later, Xia Qiaoan can guarantee with his personal experience that his evolutionary period is just a little late for no reason.

But this is something that the young master Xia ten years ago was still unable to know.

……

……

Standing in front of the mirror for a long while reminded Xia Qiaoan, who came from ten years later, of more memories of those years. He unconsciously rubbed the bandaged part of his right hand, and the bruise covered under the bandage immediately fed back the pain, which made him conditioned reflex Frowning, thinking is also withdrawn from the memory.

He realizes he's been in the bathroom too long.

After washing his face casually with cold water, Xia Qiaoan walked back to the room, and found that he hadn't slept all night, and it was already morning.

It was starting to light up outside.

Leaning against the window with the curtains and shades drawn, Xia Qiaoan felt a little complicated for a moment.

He couldn't help but think about his big baby again.

We have been married for six years and we have known each other for more than ten years. Once so many years of memories and experiences have turned into phantoms and become something that only he remembers, Xia Qiaoan feels that the sense of gap is as cold as the chilly glass in the morning.

He leaned his forehead against the cold windowpane, sighed, and glanced down inadvertently, only to find a figure standing in the courtyard below.

The other party was looking up at him with a surprised expression.

It is his elder brother who has always been self-disciplined and never stays in bed.

In the world ten years later, Xia Qiaoan hadn't seen his brother Xia Qiaobei for a while, but they were not far apart, and they used the terminal to keep in touch when it was inconvenient for them to meet each other.

He suddenly saw the other person's face that he hadn't seen for a long time. He was very kind and made a greeting gesture casually, but he saw Xia Qiaobei's expression was even more strange.

It was only then that Xia Qiaoan thought that at this point in time, he was probably troubled by evolutionary problems, and he might have lost his temper at home - the bandage on his hand was the best evidence.

The young master Xia ten years ago was so irritable that he couldn't even offend his own brother.

And just for a moment, Xia Qiaobei seemed to understand this greeting as some kind of friendly signal, and he started walking towards the house.

Within 3 minutes, there was a knock on the door of Xia Qiaoan's room. After opening the door, it was indeed Xia Qiaobei standing in the corridor outside.

It seemed that he was a little worried about how to talk to his younger brother. When Xia Qiaoan just opened the door, he saw his brother's brows were frowning, and the other party's expression was also tangled.

But when Xia Qiaobei saw his younger brother's face clearly, he was obviously taken aback.

"You...didn't rest well last night?"

"Ah."

Xia Qiaoan raised his hand and touched under his eyes. When he looked in the mirror, he noticed his dark circles.

The evidence of staying up all night hangs in front of his eyes, with a strong sense of existence.

Hearing his younger brother's affirmative answer, Xia Qiaobei seemed to be a little hesitant again. He carefully looked at Xia Qiaoan's expression, as if he was trying to figure out his younger brother's mood at the moment, and it was a bit like he was carefully looking at a small bomb/bomb, and made sure that he was waiting for him. Will you press the start button as soon as you reach out?

And his brother didn't speak. Although Xia Qiaoan had read today's date before, the time span of ten years is really not short. He really couldn't remember exactly what happened before and after this date. Therefore, facing the hesitant Xia Qiaobei At most, he can only come to the conclusion that "he may have just lost his temper", and he doesn't know how to start.

After a while of silence that caused the atmosphere to gradually develop in a strange direction, Xia Qiaoan felt that it could not go on like this, so he adjusted his posture slightly, first gave the hesitant brother a signal "I'm going to talk", and then spoke, Ask: "What do you want to say to me?"

The tone at the beginning was quite peaceful, as if Xia Qiao Bei'an was distracted.

He finally said boldly: "If the matter of matching is still bothering you, the male father had a private conversation with the female father last night, and I overheard it."

The worried elder brother observed his younger brother's face while talking, and seeing that Xia Qiaoan didn't say anything about "matching", he continued: "Father Xiong said that matching is not impossible to change, as long as the running-in period stipulated by the system expires, you will have a submission." The right to untie the application. And if you don’t want to wait that long and feel that the running-in period is too long, they will consider going to meet each other in person to see if there is a way to end the running-in early.”

After saying all the things that had been kept in her heart all night and early in the morning, Xia Qiao was relieved when she got out of her mind.

But soon, his sense of relief disappeared again.

Because his younger brother's expression seemed to usher in a storm after a short period of calm.

Xia Qiaoan didn't realize until after listening to Xia Qiaobei's words that besides the third stage of evolution, there was another thing that was also irritating to young master Xia ten years ago.

And he actually completely forgot about it before, only remembering that he and his partner will have a harmonious and happy life in the future.

"Brother." Xia Qiaoan said, with the last bit of unrealistic hope, and asked his brother with an inexplicable face, "Did I lose my temper in the matching hall yesterday, and even turned my face to... my matching partner?" ?”

Xia Qiaobei didn't know why, after hesitating, she still nodded.

His younger brother seemed to have suffered some unknown blow suddenly, and silently raised his hand to cover his face.

After being reborn on the sixth anniversary night, she returned to the second day when she humiliated her partner in public, but... not at all!
