Chapter 100: Wrong Fate
After Zhang Lu opened the door of the room, she unexpectedly found that there was no messy scene as she imagined, but it was clean, and a warm aluminum alloy bed in the innermost part of the room was covered with a white quilt, and a stack of books was neatly placed on the small desk next to the bed.
At the foot of the cot is a tall bookcase filled with books, which just blocks the cot and prevents others from having a direct view of the room at the door. In front of the small desk next to the bedside is the windowsill, on which is a pot of lush sunflowers, and the whole room is simple and clean, and it can be seen that it has just been cleaned.
Zhang Lu quietly watched this warm little room, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. At last she put down her luggage, sat down lightly on the bed, hugged the pillow tightly and checked the information of her watch, and after a while the tired girl finally put aside all the strangeness and novelty, and finally lay down relaxed, and soon fell asleep.
In the early morning, this human home on the moon, relying on the control of a sophisticated quantum computer, the composite alloy glass wall at the top of the base is gradually controlled to change the internal electroplating, filtering a part of the spectrum of the sun's rays, simulating the morning sun's rays, sprinkled on this quiet land.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the hustle and bustle of the day is slowly returning, with some people jogging in the morning, others exercising in the morning, and others starting to play on the nearby court.
Zhang Lu was so tired from yesterday's full day of space travel that she was still asleep at the moment. As the sunlight slowly spilled into the room from the windowsill, and then reflected around, illuminating the whole room exceptionally brightly, Zhang Lu was finally forced to open her eyes.
The dazzling sunlight made people dare not look out the window, so Zhang Lu picked up the watch next to the bed and gently clicked, and the electric curtain automatically closed slowly, and then she lazily lay down again, turned over and continued to squint.
"Knock knock...... Boom...... Knock knock" There was a continuous sound of playing outside the window, and the intermittent noise forced Zhang Lu to no longer sleep peacefully, so she picked up the pillow and covered her ears tightly, but the sound of the basketball hitting the floor seemed to be against her, stubbornly penetrating everything and finally entering her ears.
The constant noise finally made the girl slowly start to go crazy, she opened her eyes, let go of the pillow and listened to the annoying noise, and finally her eyebrows were tightly locked, and she sat up with a bone.
Zhang Lu puffed out her cheeks, quickly changed into a black short-sleeved sports top and a white short skirt, and then put on sneakers and walked out of the door.
"Morning!" As soon as Zhang Lu walked out of the room, Dr. Zhang was already taking care of his dishes in the living room, holding a watering can in his hand and carefully cleaning the pot of Junzi Orchid.
"Morning, Grandpa Zhang." Zhang Lu was a little surprised and continued to walk outside.
"There was a prepared breakfast in the kitchen." Dr. Zhang reminded.
"Thank you, I'll go outside for a while and I'll eat when I come back." With that, she closed the door and went off.
As soon as Zhang Lu went out and walked down the stairs in front of the door, he was greeted by bursts of the fragrance of earth and cauliflower, and the pumpkin seedlings in the yard in front of him were full of dewdrops, gently swaying and shining in the early morning airflow.
Zhang Lu jumped down the stairs in surprise, but she forgot that it was on the moon, and just jumped up nearly a meter with a slight jump, and finally adjusted her posture in a panic and returned to the ground. The little girl slapped her chest again, glanced left and right, and then stuck out her tongue and walked over to the vibrant pumpkin seedlings.
In this fresh and magical moon base, Zhang Lu squatted on the ground very seriously, and her big eyes carefully looked at one of the yellow pumpkin buds, at this time the petals of the flower buds were slowly spreading, and two small bees were flying around the flower buds, obviously they had realized that they could start collecting honey.
It's amazing, Zhang Lu thought to herself, completely forgetting what she wanted to do when she came out. This is a magical life, it turns out that all this is so beautiful, but she usually hears Bei Bei say this, but she has never observed the flowers so closely.
That girl, it turns out that her inner world is so different from mine, she loves nature more, Zhang Lu thinks silently like this, she misses Bei Bei a little.
After a while, Zhang Lu got up again, walked out of the courtyard, and then walked towards the street on the right.
On the road, two young men were jogging along the street in opposite directions, and they saw Zhang Lu waving to her in a friendly manner and smiling. Zhang Lu smiled back politely and continued to walk forward, she felt that the basketball court should be not far ahead.
Zhang Lu found that the people on the street were very welcoming, and everyone would smile at each other, which made Zhang Lu feel that she was not in an unfamiliar environment, but felt like a forgotten dreamland.
But Zhang Lu knew her top priority was to adapt to the gravity as quickly as possible, and she tried to gently lift her leg and began to learn how to run on the moon.
Unfortunately, Zhang Lu tried many times, but with a little force, she jumped into the air, and then slowly fell back to the ground, she obviously felt that running and jumping here is much behind the time on the earth, and she feels that it is difficult for her to master the rhythm and intensity of exercise here.
"Come on! You'll get proficient, kid! Suddenly, an old woman next to her happened to be jogging past, and she smiled and encouraged Zhang Lu.
After Zhang Lu was encouraged by the old woman, she tried to learn from the old woman to lift her leg and then quickly kicked to the ground, and then the other leg also quickly kicked to the ground in this way. The grandmother's method really worked, and this time she did not take off in the air, but successfully completed a running movement.
When Zhang Lu used this method to run to the intersection about 20 meters in front of her, she finally saw the basketball court on her left, and of course the small football field and tennis court next to it, where many people were doing sports.
Zhang Lu deliberately wanted to avoid a crowded environment, so he planned to continue practicing running. But when she inadvertently glanced at the basketball court at the front, she found that there was only a young man practicing shooting inside, and she couldn't help but change her mind and walk over there, it was this guy who woke Zhang Lu up.
When Zhang Lu came to the fence of the basketball court, he found a sign on it: 100% gravity of the earth. The smart Zhang Lu immediately realized that the sports venues here should be a similar environment, and she was a little surprised and walked in happily.
After Zhang Lu entered the court, she still missed this kind of earth's gravity field, so she jumped twice excitedly, and then looked at the guy who was concentrating on shooting, and he didn't notice anyone coming in at all.
Zhang Lu suddenly felt a little bored, people just got up in the morning to exercise, and they were just small tools. So she turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly the voice of the man came from behind: "Hey, do you want to play together?" ”
Zhang Lu looked back at each other a little embarrassed, but the eyes of the two of them lit up, it turned out that they had met yesterday, on the leaf space station, to be precise, they had met once the moment they entered and exited the elevator.
Zhang Lu obviously remembered this person, because yesterday she deliberately asked Dorothy about the identity of the other party because she was not convinced. So she didn't answer the other party, but stood there and hesitated to go over.
The young man obviously didn't expect to meet Zhang Lu here at all, and he had deliberately taken a closer look at this amazing girl since he crossed shoulders with Zhang Lu at the elevator door yesterday. Although it was only a one-sided relationship, the young man was still deeply impressed by this girl, he had never seen such a beautiful and moving woman from the East of the American and Asian continents.
So he ran over to Zhang Lu with great surprise and said, "It's okay, come on, let's play together, if you don't know how to play, I'll teach you!" The young man smiled all over his face, and looked so pious and friendly that it was impossible to refuse.
Zhang Lu looked at the handsome young man in front of him, with a sunny face, about 180 cm tall, and the expectant eyes made him a little unbearable. His yellowish hairstyle, optimistic and positive smile, handsome silhouette, and friendly eyes all show his good personal cultivation and quality.
Zhang Lu knew very well that the person in front of him was not an ordinary little person, just because he could appear at the Yezi space station yesterday, and he seemed to come out of the space agency commander's office, Zhang Lu judged that this person must be extraordinary, and vaguely remembered that Dorothy said that his name seemed to be William.
However, Zhang Lu doesn't have any waves in her heart for such a good and handsome guy, to be honest, she really doesn't feel it at all, she has seen a lot of such handsome guys, but she lacks the effect of plucking her heartstrings or being a catalyst. Zhang Lu actually doesn't know what kind of love she is looking forward to, anyway, life is colorful, so far her love story has not begun, after all, she is only 19 years old.
Zhang Lu looked at this person like this, and at the same time speculated in her heart, she had been silent and hesitant to stay, because this guy was warm and friendly, she was a little worried about herself, hesitant to make this friend, even though she knew that she would never be attracted to him, but she didn't want the other party to misunderstand, and had any other thoughts.
"My name is William Thompson, and I'm just a student at the Academy of Lunar Sciences, and I'm here to report." The young man held the ball in his hand, and stretched out his left hand to Zhang Lu with joy on his face: "It's nice to meet you, if I'm not mistaken, we met yesterday." ”
Zhang Lu looked at William's face full of anticipation, and she finally looked into the distance ruthlessly, ignoring William. Zhang Lu can't change it at all, she will never show favor to a boy at will, this is completely out of respect for the other party, of course, she also knows that she must not give any illusion to a person she doesn't like.
Zhang Lu didn't shake hands with him in the end, but took two steps towards the basketball hoop in front of him and suddenly stopped and said, "Yes, we met yesterday, at the Yezi Space Station, right." She had to maintain a minimum of politeness, so she looked back at William, "My name is Zhang Lu, and I am also a student at the Academy of Lunar Natural Sciences. ”
Zhang Lu quickly avoided his gaze after speaking, she could obviously sense the loneliness of the other party, and in the face of William's enthusiasm, she couldn't bear to hurt him.
William couldn't help but feel sad in his heart because Zhang Lu refused to shake hands with him, because this young man saw Zhang Lu for the first time at the elevator door yesterday, her clear and delicate face and her eyes revealed an ancient and ancient oriental woman's unique temperament, this unique beauty directly made this always cheerful young man tremble and deeply shocked in his heart.
From that moment on, William was obsessed with this girl who only had one side, as if she was the angel he had been waiting for for a long time, and only today suddenly appeared in front of him. At the moment of the elevator, William wanted to muster up the courage to say hello to Zhang Lu, but the other party's temperament and eyes at that time were really a test for him, and there were people next to her at that time, so William finally canceled the idea.
Until William was just practicing shooting alone, he was still speculating whether the girl he met on the space station yesterday would be his future classmate, a boy with a good traditional tutor who was looking forward to future love for the first time.
To William's surprise, this girl actually reappeared, and she was his future classmate, but it was a pity that she was deliberately avoiding herself, and William felt terrible. For the first time, he felt that he was in love with a girl, but William was sad at this time and wanted to cry, because this girl whom God had arranged for him to love didn't seem to like him.
William was born in an aristocratic family, this young man with superior living conditions has not lacked love since he was a child, and he has always been the only one to select and decide whether he accepts others or not, whether he likes or dislikes others. In his world, he is so confident, he is indeed so good, he has a top academic performance, is proficient in physical chemistry, and at a young age he proposed a new theory of energy and dividing conditions between hydrogen and oxygen and water, but his favorite is nuclear science.
In his spare time, William enjoys playing basketball and has top-notch racing skills. In William's circle, his friends almost all adore him, and everyone likes him and is willing to get along with him, because William has never developed the mentality of a proud son because of his identity. On the contrary, he is knowledgeable and respectful, so William's friends are not limited to the children of the aristocracy, but also include some sports-loving peers at the bottom of the society, those he met when he usually played ball and racing.
"Zhang Lu? Thank you for telling me your name, I'm really glad that we'll be classmates from now on. William spoke a little cautiously this time, he smiled and tried to hide his inner loneliness, but he kept paying attention to Zhang Lu's every expression, how he wished Zhang Lu could smile at himself.
"Nice to meet you, William, please advise me in the future." Finally, Zhang Lu looked up at him, her eyes showed a hint of friendliness, she didn't have any reason to reject a new classmate, just out of her friendly nature.
Facing Zhang Lu's smile, the haze in William's heart was instantly swept away, he was very annoyed why he didn't know this girl earlier, and the other party's smile made him feel a kind of happiness that he had never experienced.
At this moment, William longed to hold her hand and confide in her his beautiful feelings and love for others, and that impulsive feeling made William's blood boil a little, and the young man fell in love completely.
Soon William also showed a brilliant face: "Of course, it is amazing that we can come here and become students of the Academy of Natural Sciences. After speaking, he slapped the basketball, looked at Zhang Lu and continued, "Let's play basketball together, shall we?" I teach you? ”
Zhang Lu could obviously feel the sentimentality of the young man in front of her, his cultivation was so good that people couldn't refuse him, but she still blurted out: "Thank you, another day, I have to practice running, you know...... Jogging! ”
Zhang Lu pointed out with her finger as she stepped back, meaning that she had to continue to adapt to the basic athletic ability on the moon.
"Really? Or shall I teach you? William blinked at a loss, threw the ball to the ground, and spread his hands to ask Zhang Lu's opinion.
Zhang Lu was a little surprised, she wanted to avoid the other party as soon as possible, so she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I want to try it alone, thank you." I wish you a good mood today and goodbye. After Zhang Lu finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the door, she felt like she was running away. It turns out that others like her can also make people panic, even if she has no feelings for him, but her intuition tells herself that this excellent boy likes her.
"Oh?!" William looked at Zhang Lu leaving, looking a little dazed, thinking that maybe the girl was shy and frightened by her enthusiasm.
William stood in place in a daze, and only slowly walked away until Zhang Lu was far away before picking up the basketball and continuing to shoot. But William has no intention of practicing, although his body is playing, but his heart is always playing the girl's smiling face.
Unlucky William, love is sometimes like this, tormenting. When people face love, even if they know that it will hurt, they will feel the happiness of pain. If this happy pain may slowly turn into hatred, then this emotion may come to an end, but hate is the continuation of love, and only the end of hatred is the real end of this love.
