take care of

Early the next morning, Gu Qing set off with Leon, his schoolbag was full of things for the first time, and he even brought an extra bag.

The most things he brings are photos, from childhood to adulthood, and those taken yesterday.He was very fat when he was young, and when he was the fattest, his eyes were half the size of his current size, and he could only vaguely see a light blue gap when he smiled.He put that photo at the bottom, hoping that the two of them would smile knowingly when they turned to that one.

He also brought some gadgets he made himself, a mechanical frog that can understand simple commands, and a greedy snake that can clean the table.His robot was just an idea and he couldn't show them, but he could tell them about it.It was the first time that Leon and Gu Qing were alone together, and he didn't have much time to chat with Gu Qing.He prepared a lot, and even wrote a mental list of things to talk about with his parents.

After more than two hours, Gu Qing drove into a private farm at the foot of the mountain.The two parked their car at the farm, transferred to a pickup truck, and arrived at a place surrounded by barbed wire. Inside was a gentle slope with wildflowers, and the scenery outside was the same as the outside. It seemed that there was no need to fence it.

"It's here." Gu Qing said to him.

Leon looked around, but couldn't find anything like a tombstone, so he looked up at Gu Qing suspiciously.

"In order to prevent the secrets of the laboratory from being leaked, the two of them do not have a tombstone. The two of them are under the colorful Margaret."

"Darcy said that the laboratory exploded, and the two of them left at that time."

"In April 2000, the laboratory decided to conduct an experiment to detect the limit ratio of symbiotic metals and common alloys. At that time, Willis and I were away, and time was tight. Jack and Nona conducted a small-scale test alone. Then, The experiment failed, and the metal exploded and set off a fire that burned down the lab at the time."

"The two of them blocked the metal pool with their bodies before they died, otherwise the affected area would be even larger."

"Oh." Leon looked at the colorful wildflowers not far away, and nodded solemnly.

"If I was there, maybe they wouldn't have to die." Gu Qing said to Leon, "I'm sorry."

Leon shook his head: "There is no need to apologize, it is also possible that you died in it, and I am really an orphan."

"I'll show you there," Gu Qing said, "Next time, the two of us won't be able to come in again."

Gu Qing opened the barbed wire door to let Leon advance.In the distance, Margaret swayed in the wind, as if he had seen his mother's smile in the photo.Leon was suddenly very, very nervous. Every time he took a step, his heart beat faster. If it wasn't for Gu Qing's non-stop walking, he really hoped that he could stand in one place and take a few breaths.

They were getting closer and closer, and the aroma of Margarita lingered in every breath, Leon's mood finally calmed down slowly.

"Nona entrusted him to me for 9 years. I'm sorry, for various reasons, I brought him to see you now." Lu Qing put his hands on Leon's shoulders: "This is Leon."

"Mom and Dad." Leon bowed to them.

"Talk, don't move around, I'll wait for you outside." Gu Qing said to him.

"it is good."

Leon sat on the ground, took off his bag, and smiled at the flowers.He used to think that he would be sad when he saw them, but when this day came, he found that he was more happy.

"I brought you a lot of things." He smiled and said, "There are photos, my homework, and some small toys I made. Tell me one by one."

Leon took out a photo taken on Parent-Child Day last year from the above photos, and said to them: "Susanna and Darcy got married, and they gave birth to a cute baby, also named Nona, she is so smart, now she crawls Fast. This little Japanese boy, Mingyue Yuanshan, my good brother, takes good care of me.” He moved the photo forward and pointed to the corner, “Can you see that chair? It was Gu Qing who caught him, he doesn't take pictures, I think you all know that."

"Willis died of cancer last year, euthanized, and buried in Berlin," Leon took a photo of him and Willis outside the window, "this photo was taken the day before he left, and Gu Qing bought him a burial suit, the hand touching the fabric in the background is his.”

"This," Leon took out the photo of Sedleia climbing the hill again, "is my goddess, the invincible Sedleia. I am learning about robots now, and I will take robots as my lifelong pursuit in the future. "

"The most important thing around me is these people." Leon said to them: "There are not many, but each one is very precious."

"Because of Gu Qing's special situation, I didn't go to school, but he was also very responsible to me. He hired a lot of tutors for me. You can rest assured that I didn't miss my homework. There are still many photos. I will bury them in the pit in a while. You can see Don't laugh when

"Emotionally..." Leon looked at the list and scratched his head.

He looked back at Gu Qing who was outside the iron fence, with his hands in his pockets, and he was also looking at himself quietly.

"I like Gu Qing." Leon laughed at himself: "First love is very difficult, isn't it?"

Leon paused, wanting to hear their response from the wind.The wind that was still just now suddenly stopped, and the air was so quiet that the cry of cows could be heard far away.

Leon laughed "haha" twice: "Isn't that so?"

"I thought about it many times, giving up and picking it up, giving up and picking it up again, and there was always no way to give up. There was no way to give up," Leon repeated, "I couldn't give up."

"It would be nice if people could live to be 200 years old, then the gap of 25 years old would not be that big. It would be even better if people could live to be 2000 years old, 25 years old is not even a fraction." Leon sat cross-legged on the ground, " I fantasize about longevity, so that there will always be a moment when he will be willing to be with me, and that moment will become the eternity I pursue."

The wind that had just stopped blew again, and Leon asked quietly: "Is your son a coward?"

"I thought about it for more than half a year last year, and finally thought of the words Willis said to me, 'Treasure a person, and never want to embarrass him'. I think, what he said is right, an adult should be this Looks like it. I like an adult, so I can't indulge myself to mess around because I'm underage. He's so busy, I shouldn't make any trouble for him."

"One more thing, I want to tell Jack alone, Nona, go and look through the photos for a while." Leon rubbed his nose, "I had a nocturnal emission on the 19th of last month. I heard that Dad should take his son on that day." Go out and celebrate, but I can't tell Gu Qing frankly when you are here. So, unfortunately, I can only tell you simply, 'Your son has grown up'."

"I thought about a lot of things to tell you last night," Leon blinked his wet eyes, "but I feel that I have nothing to say. Thank you for bringing me into this world. I live happily with Gu Qing. I am very happy to see you today, and I will live seriously."

"What about you? Are you alive after death?"

Leon lay down on the grass and closed his eyes.He wanted to go back to the day when his parents died, and bring the two of them out before the fire that Gu Qing said, so that his life would be more complete.He can also become stronger, find a way to immortalize humans and machines, and meet them in the future.

It's great, there are so many hopes in life.

In the afternoon, the two set foot on the way home.Leon stuffed the empty schoolbag into the other, held it in his arms, and squeezed into the co-pilot's seat.

"Sit in the back." Gu Qing gestured.

"I look like I'm 14 now." Leon insisted on sitting in the co-pilot with his schoolbag in his arms.

"Only this once." Gu Qing said and started the car.

Leon showed a flattering smile: "Thank you, Dad."

Lu Qing felt that the child was in a good mood, and his hanging heart was relieved a lot.He was a little worried last night, what if the child gets entangled in those old things and affects his future development, now he can finally feel relieved.

"Your parents left you a house in Bremen. No one knows it. It can be used as your safe house in the future."

"Yeah." Leon nodded.

Gu Qing looked at him and smiled.Since then, there are no omissions in the things he needs to explain to Leon, and everything he needs to exist in this world as an independent person, Gu Qing has prepared for him.He also received a surprise. Yesterday he heard the child's initial expectation for the world, which is the cornerstone of human development.

He is very pleased that on the occasion of his 37th birthday, he settled a concern, and then he will train Chen Qi, so that he can face retirement calmly.

"When you picked me up from Bremen, did you take this same road?" Leon asked after the two got on the highway.

"Yes," Gu Qing nodded, "You were also sitting in the co-pilot that day."

"You agreed?!"

"I broke the safety seat." Lu Qing smiled.

At that age, Gu Qing seemed to have such a bad temper.Leon didn't ask any more questions. He looked out the window. They were on a bridge, and the setting sun was laying on the river, sparkling, like an endless dream sprinkled by a goddess.

"The sunset is so beautiful." Leon opened the window on his side.

"Ah."

Leon put his arms on the car window and squinted, as if seeing his robot standing on the water. "Dad," he turned back, "how about a pale gold robot?"

"Very good." Lu Qing pulled the corner of his mouth slightly.

Gu Qing under the setting sun was also very beautiful, the soft light enveloped him, extremely gentle.

"He should be very gentle, talkative, and play various musical instruments."

"You can write it in his brain." Gu Qing said.

"I don't want to force him, I want him to look like that."

Gu Qing thought of Dodd in his computer. He didn't write any fixed program for him, but just intercepted a memory, replaced it with machine code, and let it grow by itself.

"I also hope that he can understand people's pain and happiness, and I also hope that he can live for 1 years."

"There are so many hopes, so is his name Hope?" Gu Qing asked him.

"Dodd." Leon said a little distressed: "I promised Susanna that my first robot will take her last name."

The distant future arises from the present, which some call destiny, while others call it inevitability.Gu Qing thought of Dodd at the art exhibition thousands of years later, and he became more certain about that future in his heart.

"Dude." Gu Qing nodded, "It's a very good name, let's add a silent "e" at the end to distinguish it."

The author has something to say:

As I was writing, I thought of Lu Qian again. It was really not easy for him. He didn't know anything, and he survived the most difficult ten years.
