Chapter Ninety-Four: I Can't Go Back
Erwin was silent for a while.
He suddenly whispered, "You know what? When I first got on the spaceship, I regretted it, I regretted abandoning everything on Earth, regretting abandoning billions of family properties and superior life on Earth. I've spent eight or nine months in frustration, so the paintings I've drawn are nothing more than a pile of garbage! ”
Zhang Yuan was stunned in his heart, not knowing why Erwin suddenly said this, "Mr. Erwin, you can choose to go back, there is still our industrial base in Europa, plus the spaceship for the return trip...... It is possible to return to Earth. ”
Erwin shook his head, and his tone began to worsen, "I can't go back, once I go back, I will be spurned forever, and I will never be able to sell a painting again!" ”
"It's impossible, I've got no ...... to go back"
"In their eyes, I'm already a real dead man! Even if I were cheeky and went back, I would be assassinated, you know...... Only the works of dead people can be sold for a really high price! ”
"I shouldn't have gone on like this! But I was scared, I regretted it, I regretted losing everything. ”
"I miss life on Earth, but I can't go back!" Erwin became more and more agitated, and spoke faster and faster, because of the pain in his heart, snot and tears came out together.
Zhang Yuan was speechless.
Suddenly, Erwin seemed to think of something and screamed frantically.
"I'm going to paint a real work of art to record my cowardice, cowardice, and ignorance at the moment. This is the real me, and to hell with any great personality that has never been great! ”
……
After bidding farewell to the great painter, Zhang Yuan returned to the living area and made a phone call to the superior liaison in the community.
"Is it Ms. Lin Xuan?"
"Hello, how can I help?"
"Well, I suggest you get a psychiatrist and visit the painter in the M area, Mr. Erwin. There seems to be something wrong with him......" Zhang Yuan recounted the cause and effect of the whole incident.
"Okay, I got it. Thank you for the suggestion. ”
I hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. This was already the best option he could choose.
He felt that everyone was becoming a little neurotic as Europa approached, most likely related to the special population he was in contact with, and most likely to the increasingly oppressive atmosphere on the ship.
Come back to your senses and continue to think about your "turbulence problem".
This kind of long-term continuous thinking has become a habit, and it can even be done while thinking without affecting some other simple activities.
He can think while eating, and he can also think secretly when talking to people, but he just looks a little nerdy at this time.
It's even a bit similar to some scientists who hit a telephone pole while walking.
Sometimes, Zhang Yuan also questions himself whether he should do something that can produce results, instead of gnawing on this hard bone.
But in the end, it was still a veto.
Anyway, I'm still young, even if I fail, what is it?
"Ding!"
The contact watch on his wrist suddenly rang, Zhang Yuan came back to his senses and shook his slightly tired brain.
This communication device often posts large group events such as symposiums and singing and dancing parties.
【…… Tonight, the notes of youth are beating, and the flame of enthusiasm is burning. A mysterious song and dance party will be staged on the stage of the Z area. 】
[There are even once-in-a-lifetime spicy hot and fried foods to eat!] 】
My heart moved, has the new batch of peppers ripened? It's a little drooling just thinking about it.
Anyway, it's idle to be idle, and it's good to enjoy the dance.
Zone Z is the upper layer of the annular living zone, where gravity is only about half that of the Earth because it is closer to the central axis.
In a low-gravity environment, the human body becomes lighter, and various difficult dances such as ballet become easier.
Zhang Yuan was unhurried, came to Area Z, and bought a ticket.
It's not expensive, only 40 yuan.
Then, I found a random spot in the middle of nowhere and sat down and began to enjoy the buffet.
Although it is said to be a buffet, the taste of meat dishes is generally not very good. Synthetic pork, synthetic mutton, synthetic mutton, all of them are meatballs.
However, with a hint of spicy chili pepper and fried in oil, it seems to have become a little more delicious, after all, all the dishes I usually eat are steamed vegetables, and I almost vomited.
Zhang Yuan misses the big chicken legs, spicy hotpot, hot pot, fragrant pot, seafood noodles, and Lanzhou ramen on the earth......
Just when he was sweating profusely, an unexpected figure sat directly across from him.
It was his senior brother Zhao Qingfeng.
Zhao Qingfeng said: "Your appearance is too uncivilized. I didn't expect you to participate in this kind of party and not go to dance? ”
Zhang Yuan wiped the chili pepper from his mouth, "Don't go, I'm just looking for a place to be quiet and eat something spicy by the way." ”
Ball? Isn't it strange to dance while eating chili peppers?
"Quietly, quietly in this place?" Zhao Qingfeng said a little playfully: "It's all here, what are you pretending to be serious?" Do you want me to introduce you to a very open Western girl, and everyone eats Malatang together? ”
"I still have a bottle of ancestral beef sauce, brought from the earth, do you want to eat it?"
Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Zhao was still a foodie, and he carried his share of precious materials and brought food.
Zhang Yuan teased: "You can taste the beef sauce, but I can't eat the Western girl." But you're a married man, why did you come here? As far as I know, this is a singles club, another form of blind date. ”
"Senior Brother Zhao, cheating in marriage is a ...... to dip in the pig cage"
Zhao Qingfeng pointed to the opposite side, "Isn't my wife right there?" Appreciating the beauty of art together is the joy of life. Both men and women like beautiful girls, and people like you who have no aesthetic ability don't understand it at all. ”
Zhang Yuan coughed dryly.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, did you come to see me perform?"
A girl walked in front of her, with long blond hair draped over her shoulders casually, and a white ballet dress on her body, without much embellishment, but she felt unusually elegant and beautiful.
Zhang Yuan raised his head, and forgot for a while who this girl was, but he felt that she was very good-looking, and it seemed to be quite familiar, where had she seen it.
"You ......"
"After getting along for so long, you have forgotten who I am?" The girl's eyebrows furrowed, and there was a little dissatisfaction in her tone.
"It turned out to be Anna, haha......" Zhang Yuan was quite embarrassed, and only from the girl's timbre did he distinguish the identity of the other party.
In fact, it was a colleague in the laboratory, and as a result, I didn't recognize him when I changed out of that thick spacesuit.
Zhang Yuan secretly said in his heart, I can't be blamed for this, who told you to wear a spacesuit and speak through a layer of headphones.
However, he praised again and again, "I didn't expect you to be so beautiful and dance ballet?" ”
Anna smiled and said, "yes, I'm going to perform on stage in a minute...... If you want to pursue me, this gentleman, I might like to give you a chance. ”
"So, I'll treat you to spicy synthetic meatballs." Zhang Yuan seemed to have thought about a key point, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
“……”
The girl was silent for a while, and was speechless.
