Leon quickly adjusted to life at home with Suzanne.

You can see fresh flowers in the living room at any time, and there is always fresh fruit on the dining table. You don’t need to bring supper from the laboratory, you don’t need to fold your clothes after washing, you don’t need to look for socks in the morning, and she even puts away underwear .Leon had never experienced this kind of smoky gentleness, and sometimes he even had an illusion: this was not his home, but Susanna's home, and he was just here to be a long-term guest.

Gu Qing no longer took him to the laboratory in the early morning, but went by himself, and he would not go home immediately after get off work, but mostly stayed in the laboratory until midnight.After Leon finished the course arranged by Suzanne in the morning, she would be sent to the laboratory by her, and after get off work, Suzanne would pick him up again. During this period, there were very few times when he could talk to Gu Qing.When the new year is approaching, he has already learned Chinese and thinks he is proficient in it, and he also finds that it seems that he has not spent more than two hours with his father for a long time.

"Go play in the yard, wait for me for a while." Suzanne handed him her schoolbag and said.

Leon took the schoolbag and walked out.He saw many children going to school nearby carrying schoolbags, but he was a little puzzled, why he still carried schoolbags even though he didn't need to go to school.Leon put the yellow empty schoolbag at the door, picked up the ball and slapped it a few times, feeling that it was meaningless.He ran around the yard a few times, then went to his own tree.

The magnolia tree in winter is very inconspicuous and bare. Gu Qing had tied a simple swing to the tree before, and Leon had never done it a few times. After Suzanne came, he had the opportunity to sit for a while every day.Leon kicked the ground a few times and sighed deeply.

"Don't throw your schoolbag on the ground," Suzanne reluctantly picked it up and patted the ashes. "The bird of wisdom will not land on a dirty schoolbag."

"Oh." Don't engage in feudal superstition, beautiful Danish-Chinese mixed race woman.

"How do you spend Christmas?" Suzanne handed him her schoolbag.

Another very new thing.Lyon followed Gu Qing and did not celebrate any festivals - not even birthdays.Every Christmas seems to be a little bit worse than usual. The laboratory will be closed for a few days, and the cafeteria will also be closed. Lu Qing will cook for himself during those few days of the year. I don’t remember the taste, but in retrospect... It seems that I don't miss him that much.

"The community will prepare a lot of Christmas trees this year. We can pick one. In terms of food, we have fewer people and don't make so many. Do you prefer cream cake or cinnamon pie? Do you want to invite some friends to the house? In that case, I will eat more Prepare some."

"I have a friend named Mingyue." Leon said, "I want to invite him."

"Mingyue? Are you Chinese?"

"No, Yuanshan Mingyue is a Japanese."

"Oh? Then I can make some sushi."

When he got off work, Leon waited on the first floor for a while, and caught Gu Qing who was going underground.

"Susanna said that Christmas can be celebrated, can I invite Mingyue?"

"Yes." Gu Qing answered absent-mindedly.

"dad?"

"Go home early and check your homework this week." After finishing speaking, Gu Qing hurried away.

"Oh." Leon wanted to say something, but Gu Qing turned around and disappeared.

Gu Qing worked overtime for three months. The individual prediction project that he had always placed high hopes on achieved large-scale prediction last week. He just got the personal prediction results of 1000 people today, and found that the prediction items of sex hormones showed a cliff-like decrease. If the prediction results are accurate, around 2020, all of the 1000 people of the right age will lose the ability to naturally form eggs and sperm.

"Henghuan," Gu Qing said while pushing the door open, "show me all your prediction results."

Tao Henghuan, who was doing the experiment, blushed suddenly, and asked hesitantly, "Is it all?"

Lu Qing kept looking at his computer screen, didn't notice his strangeness, but simply nodded: "I urgently need some comparison samples."

"There are not many samples," Tao Henghuan took out a stack of reports from the bottom drawer, and then put another copy in the middle, "There are less than 100 people."

Lu Qing picked out the sex hormone item and went through all the reports, and the results were the same as those in the laboratory, which partly corresponded to Juan's prediction.But if it is only a problem of sex hormones, artificial supplementation is a good way, and artificial synthesis of sperm and eggs is also a good way. Why will natural people completely perish in 2080?

Lu Qing was deeply helpless for not getting a more detailed prophecy.

"Have you finished watching?" Tao Henghuan asked cautiously.

"Well," Gu Qing nodded, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, you've been supporting my work." Tao Henghuan bowed his head and said, "I'll take care of my own affairs."

Lu Qing was completely immersed in his own calculations, and did not hear Tao Henghuan's words at all.With no personal prediction, he has two clues: the DNA group that can cause the malfunction of the human reproductive system; the sex hormone that will almost disappear.What is the relationship between them?Is the latter a manifestation of the former?Has the opposite been successful in eradicating the reproductive capacity of human beings?Or two completely separate events?

He has been preparing for the queen's production according to Juan's prophecy, but he has always regarded in vitro reproduction as an option in his heart. Human natural reproduction is still the most economical and safe method of reproduction, which minimizes ethical issues and maintains social stability.Are other options futile, only the queen is the only direction?

While calculating the probability, Lu Qing watched Tao Henghuan take out two red sweaters, big and small, and hand them to him.He interrupted the calculation and listened to him intently: "Christmas is coming, here is a gift for you and Leon."

"Thanks, he'll love it."

"I hope you will like it too." Tao Henghuan said in a low voice.

Lu Qing nodded his thanks, and went directly to the airport to fly to London to find Lilian.There are so many things to do, and he only has one person. After Jack passed away, his only reliable resources were Lilian and Darcy, who were entrusted to him by Juan—Tao Henghuan also counted, but his main task now was to train Chen Qi.Lilian still has three years of tenure at the university, she hopes to come back to Gu Qing after her teaching career is over, and she can also help Gu Qing find some available freshman resources in London, which is also very helpful for Gu Qing to hide his identity help.

After a few more years, when Lilian, Darcy and Tao Henghuan can all work by Gu Qing's side, the progress will be accelerated even more.Lu Qing took out his own documents, and suddenly noticed the huge sweater bag he had been carrying.He thought of the crew member who smiled and said "Merry Christmas" to him before boarding the plane, and then thought of what his son said when he hurriedly stopped him-it was Christmas this year.

He smiled, and took out the small red sweater to have a look. The sleeves were a little longer, so they could be rolled up and fastened with two shiny elk lights.

Leon didn't know that Gu Qing had gone to London, and thought he was just doing "secret work" in retreat.Three days before Christmas, Suzanne took Leon and Mingyue to the community lantern-hanging activity. Everyone was familiar with each other and kept talking about food, children’s work, etc. Leon had never heard so many ordinary conversations, as if he felt Throw yourself in a daytime soap opera, strange yet familiar.

"Is school on holiday?" a very enthusiastic grandma asked him.

"Yes." Leon felt that this was not a lie.

"Schools are too loose now, and there are three or four days off for a holiday. At that time, we wanted to go to school very much."

"Really?" Leon nodded and moved towards Susanna.

"Are you Willis' lover?" the grandma asked Susannah, looking over Leon.

Susanna took a quick look at Leon, who nodded to her - Gu Qing's house was registered under Willis' name.

Suzanne got permission and immediately shook her head: "I'm a tutor."

"Oh," grandma seemed to know everything, "it's Jane Eyre style, right? A governess and a lonely and indifferent rich man."

"Rich?" Leon interjected subconsciously.

"The whole set of security system in the community was given by your father." Grandma said to him, and said to Susannah mysteriously: "Before you came, Willis never participated in community activities."

"Ah," Susannah smiled dryly, her tone becoming tense, "I don't know."

Susanna seemed too regretful, and Leon sighed silently in his heart—his father didn't talk to Susanna very much, and he scared people like this.He moved back to the grandma again: "Dad is busy with work, and he will have the opportunity to take me to participate in community activities after Suzanne comes. What about you? How old are you? Where do you live? What does your son do?"

The grandma was actually willing to discuss these personal privacy matters with Leon. From the beginning, when Leon was holding Mingyue’s hand tightly and almost fainted, Susannah held back her laughter and quickly hung up the lamp. He survived.

"It's terrible, it's terrible." Leon shook his head and said, "My father can't resist it."

"Professor Gu has no time to come here to hang the lamp." Susannah tilted her head and thought for a while, "When I was only a teenager, I heard that he didn't sleep for two consecutive months, and his first assistant, Jack, was exhausted. Asking for stimulants everywhere, my senior sister Nona was with Jack at that time."

"Nona? It's the same name as my mother!" Leon said curiously.

"Really?" Suzanne suddenly frowned and looked at him for a while.

"Where's your senior sister?"

"Passed away." Susanna's eyes darkened.

"With Jack?"

"Yes." Susannah looked at him more and more seriously.She put down the light wire in her hand, pressed down Leon's short hair, and then covered the flesh on his cheek, with an indescribable complexity in her eyes.

Leon seemed to remember something, but after searching in his head, he couldn't find it at all.He was a little anxious, but his father said that a child's memory is like a square where people walk constantly after snowfall, with footprints overlapping footprints, it's normal to forget everything, and it's normal to remember something when the wind blows.He even thought of this kind of metaphor, and he couldn't remember where he had heard similar stories.

"What are you thinking? Can Mingyue live with you?" Suzanne suddenly said to him affectionately.

"Mingyue," Leon asked him in English, "is it okay to live together?"

[Yes, good brother, a bed. (づ￣3￣)づ】

"Treasure when good friends get together." Suzanne rubbed their hair.

That afternoon, the three of them also drew the outline of their own house with string lamps. Mingyue made several smoke rings with wire and lamps at the chimney of the fireplace. The people next door saw it and made changes accordingly.Mingyue earned hundreds of dollars by relying on this craft. Jealousy made Leon decadent, and his decadence made him miss his father a little. When he missed his father, he would tinker with the magnolia tree.He also painted the magnolia tree with the remaining thread lights, and then made many magnolia flower-shaped light bundles on the tree. If his father can come out for Christmas, he will see his handicraft in the first place.When he finished his work, he was sweating profusely, turned his head, and saw Mingyue's whiteboard for the first time.

【Pay. (*^▽^*)】

"That's a good idea," Leon, who was not so decadent, immediately filled his combat power, "You earn three points, one share of the robot uprising fund, me, you."

[Snatching money~] Mingyue ran into the house with a "swish".

Susannah smiled and stood beside him with her arms outstretched. Leon waved to her: "It's okay, the metal pile at Darcy's place is much taller than this tree."

"Come on," she said with a smile.

Leon jumped deftly off the ladder and into her arms.

"Leon, I love you." Suzanne cupped his forehead and kissed him.

"Oh, okay." Leon shyly rubbed against her arms.

The lights have been on for a few nights and the novelty has worn off.Gu Qing never came home, and the first official Christmas in Lyon's life also arrived as scheduled in an atmosphere of confusion and anticipation.

The author has something to say:

Wow, Mission: Impossible VI is coming out at the end of next month.Brother Tom doesn't know what shocking action scenes will be coming!expect! ! !

I have been pretending that I have saved manuscripts for the past few days, and changed the time to seconds, haha.
