Chapter 1587 The Reunion After the Century

"Are you... really his granddaughter?"

Looking at the woman who looked a bit like Lu Zhou standing by the hospital bed, Vera opened her mouth in a daze, not knowing what expression to make on her face for a moment.

Her appearance was so easy to understand that Lu Xiaoqiao's children's shoes immediately guessed what she had misunderstood, so she hurriedly explained, dumbfounded.

"Although we are indeed related by blood, it should not be what you imagined."

The hands gripping the quilt became tighter, and Vera whispered weakly: "...I won't mind."

"I've said it all, it's not what you imagined," Lu Xiaoqiao rubbed her eyebrows a little nervously, complaining about her dishonest ancestor in her heart, and continued after sighing, "In short, I'm probably his collateral descendant, from Lu Xiaotong's branch."

"Xiaotong..."

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded calmly.

"Yes."

The little hand that was holding the quilt tightly loosened, but quickly clenched it again.

Didn't expect her to be gone...

Although this is inevitable, Vera is still a little lonely in her heart.

Maybe because she is the quiet type, she still has a good impression of that lively girl.

Especially when they were professors in Princeton, the relationship between the two has always been considered very good.

What's more, because of someone's relationship, she has always treated her as her own sister.

Lu Xiaoqiao, who read the expression on Vera's face and roughly guessed something, said softly.

"Please don't feel sorry for her, according to my father and grandfather, she was a very kind person who lived a happy and wonderful life in the time she lived. Life itself is a journey with a beginning and an end, since Where there is a beginning, there must be an end, everything is inevitable."

"...I'm just, a little bit out of control."

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down a bit the sadness in his heart, and reappeared a smile that was still somewhat forced.

"Thank you for your comfort... To be able to raise a kind child like you, I believe she must have been very happy during her lifetime."

A shy smile appeared on Lu Xiaoqiao's face, and she said with some embarrassment.

"Actually, it's okay...Although I haven't seen her, I just always hear about her from grandpa."

At this moment, the door of the ward opened suddenly, and Qian Xiuxiu, who was wearing a nurse uniform, walked in.

"Vera, someone is visiting you outside, is it convenient for you now?"

"……who is it?"

Qian Xiuxiu said with a smile: "It seems to be a big celebrity, his name is Lu Zhou, although many people call him Academician Lu."

In an instant, Vera, who was leaning on the pillow, sat up excitedly.

"Fang, it's convenient! Can you please hurry him in?"

Perhaps it was because of the strong reaction that the two short words were pronounced out of tune.

Seeing Vera's reaction, Qian Xiuxiu smiled.

"No matter how fast people come over, it will take time."

Looking at the nurse standing at the door in surprise, Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at her watch and muttered something to herself.

"Didn't you say you came here on time..."

She just called this morning and came before noon, which really surprised her.

After getting the patient's permission, Qian Xiuxiu nodded, and left the ward again with brisk steps. It didn't take long before she walked in with a man whose clothes were slightly monotonous compared to the popular styles in this world.

Looking at the person who appeared at the door, Vera's pupils were filled with excited mist, and the excitement turned into a murmur like a trickle of water.

"I must be dreaming..."

"But it's not," Lu Zhou's Adam's apple twitched slightly as he looked at Vera lying on the hospital bed, and said softly, "Well, it's the same as I said, it's just a blink of an eye."

Vera: "But in fact, I had a long, long dream."

"……oh?"

Vera blushed and said, "I dreamed that I was lying in a frozen crystal coffin and saw a beautiful princess through the mist. She talked to me a lot and asked me to take care of you before I left... As for the rest, I don't remember exactly."

take care of me...

Lu Zhou smiled in his heart.

He didn't feel that he needed to be taken care of, but she was quite disturbed by her current appearance.

"that……"

"What's wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Vera whispered.

"You, why haven't you changed at all?"

Has the problem of longevity in 100 years been solved?

But this can't explain why Xiaotong died.

She could feel that during her time of deep sleep, many things had happened, whether it was around her or a place far away from her.

This strange feeling made her panic, but for some reason, after seeing that familiar face, a feeling of peace filled her whole body again.

"...a lot of things have happened in the past 100 years, and all aspects have exceeded my expectations," Lu Zhou looked out of the window with some nerve-wracking, and after thinking for a while, he continued, "After you are discharged from the hospital, I'll tell you all about it sometime."

Not only did she need time to get ready, he felt he needed some time too.

For her, everything may be just a blink of an eye, but in this blink of an eye, he already has many things that he never had before.

Originally, that kiss on the forehead was enough to make him feel guilty (although his original intention was to hope that she would go to the future without regrets), but he didn't expect that now there was another love letter with a million words.

He even regretted it a bit, why did he commit that nerve at that time, and went back to Princeton again...

Looking at Lu Zhou intently, Wei La said in a very soft voice.

"That... thank you."

"You don't have to thank me, in fact I didn't do anything, I really can't bear this thank you—"

"How come, you gave me knowledge, warmth, and courage that I never thought I could get," she paused for a moment, her eyes shook slightly, and then added, "Also, I also really miss you."

For some reason, the word "also" always made him feel weird, but for a while he couldn't tell why it was weird.

It is true that he really misses her, and he has investigated her whereabouts, but because of various reasons such as age, he has not found any news about her.

According to available information, during the duration of her cryo-sleep, someone modified her hospitalization information, and multiple security settings including the time limit of her cryo-sleep, the activation conditions of the active wake-up program, etc.

Otherwise she should have woken up 20 years ago or even earlier.

As for who did it, and for what purpose, it is unknown.

Although this is an information age, facing the barrier of time, even Xiao Ai cannot be omniscient in an absolute sense.

Diverting the original topic, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said.

"... Have you figured out where to go after waking up?"

Vera: "I have no home, and no one else I know... This world is so strange to me, and I don't know where to go."

"I'm sorry... I can't help but throw you into this era, but under the circumstances at that time, that was the best way."

"Don't say sorry, you are obviously the hero who saved me," Vera smiled softly, lowered her eyelashes slightly, and added in a low voice with some inexplicable happiness and some anxiety.

"So, please, please take responsibility..."

Lu Zhou nodded.

"If you don't know where to go for the time being, just stay with me first..."

With Vera's ability, it is not a problem to find a job as a mathematics professor at Jinling University.

Even if it came from 100 years ago, the research in frontier fields may be slightly behind, but the basic things will not change whether it is 100 years ago or 100 years later.

certainly……

There is also his selfishness in it.

It just so happens that he still lacks an assistant who can help him study the Z-particle wave equation, and Vera, who has excellent professional ability and thinking ability, is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.

As for other things...

He will find a suitable time to explain to her clearly what happened after she was frozen.

However, when she heard the first half of the sentence, Vera's face turned red, so that she couldn't hear what Lu Zhou said clearly.

Lu Xiaoqiao, who was standing aside, sighed.

I always feel that there seems to be nothing about her, the manager of the Frozen Human Rights Protection Foundation, here.

Obviously on the issue of frozen people, she is the protagonist...
