Chapter 43: The Door of Memories

At the end of the day, Alan and Pei Ji returned to the dormitory, one for the lop-eared rabbit to change sawdust, and the other for dinner.

Ever since the lop-eared rabbit found out that Pei Ji had eaten its exclusive crunchy fruit, he never gave him a straight face - as long as Pei Ji approached, he would face him with his round little buttocks, as if the baby refused to talk to you.

In order to save Pei Ji's "heart", the "coolies" of changing wood chips and cleaning cages recently were done by Allen, and the pleasing work of feeding potatoes and crunchy fruits was handed over to Pei Ji.

"Look! This potato looks just like you! So cute! Pei Ji took a round and large potato and handed it to the lop-eared rabbit flatteringly.

The lop-eared rabbit took the potato, immediately turned around and began to nibble, leaving Pei Ji with a resolute back.

――I didn't say anything about stealing food before, but now I dare to sarcastically mock the baby's roundness?! I won't talk to you for the rest of my life!! Whisper!!

Alan threw away the old sawdust and the cloth pad that had been used for a while, cleaned the inside of the cage with a micro vacuum cleaner, and then spread the new sawdust in a fixed position, and turned his head to see that the "old account" had not been cleared but the "new account" had been added, Pei Ji stared at the round buttocks and small tail of the lop-eared rabbit in a daze, and was amused and sympathetic for a while.

As Qiuqiu's favorite owner, Allen, who is actually an "accomplice", is obviously not treated differently by the little guy.

He threw the new cushion he had bought for the lop-eared rabbit in the far corner of the cage (which was Qiuqiu's favorite place), and after dinner, the lop-eared rabbit immediately jumped on the cushion with a pleasant face, and jumped happily a few times, looking very satisfied with his "new bed".

"Alan, can you give Qiuqiu another crunchy fruit?" Pei Ji looked at Alan with a pleading look in his eyes.

The other party shook his head regretfully: "It's better not to do this, it has eaten one at noon today, if you give the second one, it will change back to one a day in the future, and Qiuqiu will still mess with you." ”

The original residence of the Nash lop rabbit is located in the Nash mining area of the third star region of the Girond planet, where the conditions are relatively harsh, and there is a shortage of water, although the wild Nash lop rabbit has a strong stomach, but its tolerance to water is still not very high.

The crunchy fruit is rich in nutrients and can have a high water content, so it is more suitable to eat one for lop rabbits, and if there is another one, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of pressure on its gastrointestinal function.

Under normal circumstances, Alan will not give Qiuqiu two crunchy fruits, lest he develop the psychological habit of wanting to eat more, and the result will not be realized, and he will be unhappy.

When they mentioned those three words, the lop-eared rabbit had quietly moved to the door of the cage, closely watching their movements, seeing Alan shaking his head, it knew that Pei Ji's application had not been approved, and in disappointment, he finally changed his attitude towards Pei Ji.

――Even the baby can't resist the charm of the crunchy fruit, and it is understandable that the "gray hair" can't help but eat it, if he still prepares super large potatoes for the baby tomorrow, forgive him for the time being! Oops, babies are so magnanimous!

……

Back in the bedroom, Alan's eyes unconsciously looked at the bedside table.

There was a hardcover book with a brown cover on it—in fact, it was a notebook.

Alan walked over and sat down at the head of the bed and picked up the notebook. This notebook seems to be some years old, and there are traces of sanding on the edges.

He gently flipped open the cover, and in the middle of the title page, a line of beautiful handwriting caught Allen's eye.

"To my dearest Ellen, Mr. Randall, and Anna. - Cynthia"

The owner of this notebook, Cynthia Julian, was the wife of the late Lieutenant General Randall and Alan's biological mother.

Her memories may be vague even of the former "Allen", because she died when "he" was not yet one year old.

Uncle Rolf never mentions her, and only Daisy occasionally speaks of "good Lady Cynthia".

Unfortunately, Daisy is not good at describing, and she doesn't know much about Cynthia's events before she marries Adrington, and the scattered fragments she utters are difficult to weave a vivid image of a person.

In the castle's collection room, there is a portrait of Lieutenant General Randall and his wife, in which Mrs. Cynthia sits on a magnificent high-backed chair with a bouquet of flowers, and her husband stands next to her in a military uniform with his hand on her shoulder.

This double portrait is particularly striking among the single portraits of successive heads of the Adrington family.

In addition, there are some video materials preserved, and Allen has just recovered from his injury, and he has spent a lot of time looking at these things.

He always had an apology for the original Alan.

He wanted to continue to live strong with the body of the original owner, and treat those who loved "him" sincerely...... Perhaps, it is also a relief to remember these people who are most important to "him" for the original Alan.

It's a pity that there aren't many images of the couple themselves.

Compared to how often his uncle Rolf appears in Adrington now, Allen believes that Lieutenant General Randall must have been very busy back then, and probably didn't stay at the castle for a few days a year.

So he appears in fewer pictures, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Strangely, however, there are very few images of Lady Cynthia's "appearance", not even as many as her voice "appearance" - in fact, many of these images should have been taken by Lady Cynthia herself, with her narration in them.

Along with the things she had preserved, as well as a large number of her manuscripts. The narrative mode of those manuscripts is, in Allen's view, very similar to that of a particular profession on the planet – journalists.

Alan opened the hardcover notebook and saw the familiar handwriting, so he could basically determine that the author of this notebook was indeed "his" mother, Mrs. Cynthia.

Having this "memory notebook", the first mandatory task that appears in the system is completed smoothly.

Almost effortlessly, Alan was rewarded with the mission, ten seeds, and five thousand points.

Half of these seeds are secondary plants and half are tertiary plants; And the arrival of 5,000 points also made the system directly upgrade to level thirteen, which means that his various abilities will be improved, and the maturity cycle of all medicinal plants in the planting space will be shortened by 6 hours again!

Such a rich reward seems to have allowed Alan to truly experience the taste of "pie in the sky".

But he didn't test his abilities right away, nor did he plant the newly obtained seeds right away, and even in the following days, Alan didn't continue to practice refining medicinal plants.

All his attention was drawn to this notebook, and Alan was completely immersed in Mrs. Cynthia's words, unable to extricate himself!

Unlike the purely record-based manuscripts kept by Adrington, this manuscript is more like a private diary and memoir of Lady Cynthia.

Most of the content in it describes what she saw and heard in the three-star district when she was a child and a teenager.

Alan could see Mrs. Cynthia's love and nostalgia for that land in those magnificent and romantic words.

"If one day you can stand on that endless sandstone mine, you will know that even the cold wind tells a moving story, tell you why the faces of the Nash people are always covered with frost, tears, and laughter......

And what surprised Alan even more was that from this notebook, he knew something he had never heard of.

For example, Mrs. Cynthia is just the adopted daughter of the Julian family, and her biological parents are a pair of ordinary miners in the Nash mine!

"My parents had a very hard life, but they were also very happy. For as long as I can remember, they always came home after dark, and before entering, my father would pat my mother with the dust on her shoulder, but I didn't know that my short flaxen hair was dyed gray and white with sandstone gray......"

No wonder since he was sober, he had never seen anyone from the Julian family, let alone kept in touch.

At first, Alan thought that it was because Mrs. Cynthia was gone, and the little nobleman did not plan to continue to deal with the big nobleman Adrington in the name of his grandson, so he broke off contact.

But in fact, the real reason is that this "outsider" is not Allen's real "outsider"!

Linen colored, Alan unconsciously touched his hair - would he look very similar to "his" grandfather?

Another part of the notebook that intrigued Allen was that Mrs. Cynthia described in a slightly playful tone her encounter with her husband, Lieutenant General Randall—who wasn't interested in how she came to be?

"In the eyes of others, the story of me and Randall seems to be a good story of heroes saving beauty, but in my opinion, it is just a crappy little reporter with short hair, who has been involved in the unfortunate stupid goose passing by the scene!"

"I've never seen such a dumb person, walking all the way behind someone's back, and never realizing that the other party is actually a girl."

"I still vividly remember that when he used my terminal to help me book a room, he saw that extremely funny expression when he saw the gender column on the form that said female!"

Randall, who went to the third star zone to do mecha drills as an outstanding student representative, accidentally rescued Cynthia, an intern reporter who infiltrated the underground trading market in disguise to dig up "news materials".

One is the eldest son of the great nobles of the Emperor Star family, and the other is the lively and outgoing youngest daughter of the miner family in the Third Star District.

Fate made them meet, acquaintance, acquaintance, and love each other until death separated them.

From Mrs. Cynthia's description, Alan saw a vivid Lieutenant General Randall, who was not the "senior officer" and "noble son" in the mouth of everyone, the "hero" and "brother" in the mouth of his uncle, nor the "classmate" and "friend" in the mouth of Prince Salwin.

In the eyes of his wife, he is a sometimes clumsy but very gentle "husband", and a "father" who is full of love and anticipation for his unborn child.

Their lives are really as happy as princes and princesses because of their feelings for each other.

Alan gently touched the passage on the title page with his hand.

If the first two names represent Mrs. Cynthia's unborn child and beloved husband, then what does the name "Anna" represent?
