Gu Qing stayed in 3090 for a long time. The world in 3090 is peaceful, new ethical concepts and systems have stabilized, and mankind has ushered in a new century.He met Dodd again in this era.When he came back from an expedition in outer space, his body was almost completely changed, and his eyes were no longer pure.

"Mr. Gu Qing, we are back."

"How is the outside world?"

"Very good, but I still miss the earth, so I came back." Dodd asked him: "Mr. Gu Qing, are you a time traveler? When do you plan to go back?"

"I haven't found out where I came from yet."

"You mentioned 2005."

"I don't rely on time to go back." Lu Qing explained to him: "I only have one chance to go backwards. If I choose wrongly, I will be trapped in the boring past and cannot get rid of it. It is not as good as the current situation."

"Is there no one you miss?"

"Yes, but I'm not worried about them. All the necessary arrangements have been made."

"Are you really not worried?"

"Why do robots talk more than humans?" Gu Qing asked him, "Am I so noisy when I become a robot?"

The square-faced robot ran away with a shocked expression.Lu Qing looked at his back, very confused about how a robot with its own DNA could look like this.Gu Qing turned around, and within a few minutes, Dodd ran back again.

"Tomorrow there is an art exhibition of the 2000 generation, do you want to go?"

Lu Qing took the paper invitation and nodded to him.

Until the 4th, Gu Qing still didn't wake up. He had a fever that fluctuated around 102℉.Leon has been studying by Gu Qing's bed these days, reviewing the homework Suzanne left him, and then changing Gu Qing's cooling towel every hour.He covered Gu Qing's body with the cooling stickers that Gu Qing bought for him, and turned down the air conditioner at home to the lowest level.

"If it doesn't work, the two of us will carry him to the snow mountain tomorrow and bury him in a snowdrift." Willis complained wrapped in a down jacket.

"Won't it cause frostbite?" Leon thought for a while and asked.

"Just kidding. You get it? Just kidding."

"I'm not in the mood for jokes right now," Leon said.

"Your father is much calmer at your age," Willis prodded him.

Leon glanced at Lu Qing subconsciously. He actually couldn't imagine what his father looked like when he was a child. Gu Qing never took pictures, and he had no way of knowing whether he had the same iceberg temperament when he was a child. "I don't compare with him, I'm pretty good myself."

"Oh," Willis stood up from the sofa, "I thought you worked so hard and didn't eat, because you wanted to be like him."

"I am me, he is him. I will wait here, and he will wake up."

"It's about to wake up, the longest time they'll go is seven days." Willis said squatting beside Leon.

"Really?" Leon's eyes widened, "Then why didn't you say it before?"

"I also guessed, if he can't wake up, wouldn't you be more disappointed. Now you are in a good state of mind, let me tell you, seven days."

Willis compared seven fat fingers, and Leon suddenly fell into the ice cave from surprise—if he didn't wake up, it meant that he lost his father forever.

"Understood?" Willis smiled wryly.

"He'll wake up." Leon said tremblingly.

"Although it's cruel to say that, Leon, you still have to trust yourself more and rely less on him."

"I will." Leon took a deep breath: "Can you shut up now?"

Lu Qing didn't quite understand why there was such a thing as a painting exhibition in the deduction about the future of mankind, but he still walked out of the queen institution to see the painting exhibition.

The robot Dodd was the host. He saw Gu Qing from a distance, hid behind his companion, and then came out to greet him again pretending to be generous.

Lu Qing didn't understand the reason for his series of actions, but he still walked towards him.

"Welcome to come." Dodd said to him: "Yesterday I learned that I have your genes in my body. I stayed up all night. As the guide of my thinking, are you satisfied with me?"

Lu Qing really wanted to say that he was dissatisfied, but he didn't say it after all—it doesn't make any sense to pick on the people who appear in the prediction.

"These paintings are memories of your era. There are many lines. May I accompany you to look at them?" The robot stretched out its hand with a suction cup.

Gu Qing was noncommittal, and walked along the first viewing route at his feet, and Dodd followed him quietly.Robots follow the aesthetics of natural people, and the requirements for the art of that era are very vague - vivid and self-expression is enough.

"The entire exhibition is arranged according to the emotions expressed by the painters. I think this order is more shocking to the soul than the chronological order." Dodd explained.

Gu Qing glanced at him, and he smiled at Gu Qing, a few lights above his head flickered, as if he wanted to please Gu Qing.The district where Gu Qing is located is the intersection of "happiness" and "crazy". He first looked at a few paintings of artificial humans being kept in cages as pets like cats and dogs, and then looked at the paintings of robots marrying humans. The robot wears a wedding dress and makes a crying face, but no tears.

"At that time, we pursued exactly the same as human beings, and now we have woken up from extreme thoughts." Dodd said.

Lu Qing looked at the painting for a long time, and the painting has a familiar sense of age, and he began to feel that the dust has settled, everything in 3090 is slowly being fixed, and the details that were not clear before are just like this painting exhibition Unfold slowly.He may not be able to move forward anymore, he needs to choose to stay in 3090, get to know more people from this era through Dodd, or return to the voyage.

After Lu Qing walked from the "happiness" area, he went to "anger" and "sadness". He saw the fragments left by war in people's minds. Compared with happiness, sadness is always deeper and closer to the heart.At the end of the sad area, Gu Qing saw a painting by himself.It shows him and his adopted son, Leon, leaving their home to take refuge in a gallery on a snowy Christmas Eve.He remembered this incident, but he no longer remembered his emotions at the time.Was it really that sad?Every stroke is like a scar that cannot be erased.

"You still have such nostalgia for reality." Dodd stretched out his hand with the suction cup.

The painting was framed in a mahogany-colored wooden frame--the same style of wooden frames used for the paintings in the gallery owner's house.Maybe he bound the painting and sent it to Willis' home, or maybe the painting has been hanging in his gallery until it was discovered by others after a thousand years, or maybe it was Leon who went to the store to get the painting .

"How did the painting come about?" he asked Dodd.

"Mr. Gu, you should know."

"Have you served Leon?"

"Mr. Gu, you should also know." Dodd moved forward and delivered the painting to him.

The light snow that day followed the painting, and he suddenly missed the feeling of the child lying on his shoulders, even if it was not a pleasant scene, he still missed him very much.All the scenes are going backwards, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, and the raindrops return to the sky, only the painting is firmly held in Gu Qing's hands.

"See you next time, my dear Mr. Gu." Dodd bowed to him.

Gu Qing gently opened his eyes.The temperature in the room was very low. Not only were there many things stuck to his body, but his child was also lying on his stomach.

Actually came back.At that time, he made up his mind to go to the memory point in the painting, but unexpectedly, it became an opportunity to return to reality.It's nice to be back, and he'll get to see his kids a few more times.

Lu Qing touched Leon's face with his hand, and the child stood up suddenly, without any sleepiness in his eyes.He looked at Lu Qing for as long as a minute, as if he was the only one in the world.Knowing that he was terrified, Gu Qing smiled at him with the corners of his mouth pulled. Leon woke up from his daze, picked up a tissue and wiped his bleeding lips, then picked up the water beside the bed and handed it to his mouth.

Gu Qing was very thirsty, but he didn't have any strength, so he took small sips.

"Today is the ninth day. Willis went out to buy you a black suit. I will wear it for you when you are cremated. I promise him that when he comes back, I will let you go." Leon stood upright beside the bed.

In a few simple words, the child explained too much despair that could be imagined. Gu Qing moistened his throat and said to him in as normal a tone as possible: "Come and hug."

"Daddy." The child put his arms around his waist.

"Dad has a direction in his work. He won't sleep for so long in the future. Can you forgive me?"

"Yes." Leon nodded, and said a little shyly: "I made a wish, as long as you wake up, I am willing to do anything."

"Make a wish? Make a wish with whom?"

"Online church." Leon said more embarrassedly.

Gu Qing bent his eyes and smiled.The child's hair had grown back under his palm, and he was still wearing the pajamas he had worn when he said goodbye that night.Gu Qing is very happy, even though he knows that he is not his biological father, he is still willing to love him.

"Go for a walk." Gu Qing said to him.

The two of them didn't go far, they just walked around the yard.The sky is blue and vast, and you can see the snow-capped mountains far away.Leon remembered what Willis said about burying Gu Qing on a snow mountain, and immediately grabbed his hand even tighter.

"I'll push you to sit on the swing." Gu Qing said to him.

Leon suddenly felt a little hungry, but he was embarrassed to say so.

The two played silently for a while, and Willis came back.Not only did he wear a grand black suit, but he also bought lunch for Lyon.Leon waved to him when he came back, and Willis also waved to them with a smile, and threw the new suit into the big trash can.

"What lunch?" Leon asked more cheerfully.

"Your favorite burger and roast beef." Willis held the bag high.

"yeahyeahyeah!" Leon jumped off the swing and entered the house with the bag.

Gu Qing and Willis hadn't seen each other for a while, and Willis lost a little weight again.

"Thank you for taking care of Leon." Gu Qing said to him.

"Thank you, you should buy me a suit." Willis hugged him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Maybe," Gu Qing said to him, "I have found an anchor, and maybe I can really live a few more years."

Willis hugged him again: "This is really great. I'm happier than hearing that I have liver cancer."

"Wouldn't it be better to cure the illness?" Lu Qing pressed his shoulder.

"No," Willis smiled and shook his head. "I went to see Juan, and I heard him calling me. You're going to miss Leon, and I guess he'll miss me terribly, too. Such a handsome me."

Willis didn't look at Gu Qing, and there was no smile on his face. Even if he just thought about dying and seeing Juan, Willis was very nervous, worried that he was not decent enough.Being with Gaia is really stressful.Gu Qing looked at him with pity, and said to him seriously: "Well, you are my most handsome friend."

"Come in and eat!" Leon called the two of them at the door.

"The most handsome?" Willis, who had a serious face just now, snorted, "Isn't it because I'm your only friend!"

"Well, friends forever."

"Who cares?" Willis muttered in a low voice, "Hurry up and fall in love and find a backing for Leon."

"Ability is limited." Gu Qing said to him while walking.

"I'm going to be mad at you now."

Gu Qing and Leon drove Willis home in the afternoon, and then went to pick up the painting with a gift for the gallery owner.Sure enough, the painting has been framed and hung in the most prominent place in the gallery.

"This picture is too beautiful, I'm sorry to hang it up without your permission." The old man said as he took it down.

"It's okay, thank you for taking in that day." Lu Qing stretched out both hands and took it carefully.The painting was exactly as he had seen it in 3090, the ink hadn't been darker or lighter, and the canvas hadn't cracked at all.He seemed to hear the chattering robot admiring the exploits of the natural man in his ear.

"Boss, the quality of the canvas and ink is very good." Gu Qing said.

"Of course!" The old man said proudly, "If you keep it carefully, it will still look like this after 1000 years."

Lu Qing touched the red child who was separated by light snow, and smiled.
