Chapter 4: Gray Memories

These materials can only be seen by the most core members of the Lin family, so maybe even Li Xuancheng himself doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. Even if he knew, it wouldn't make a difference.

Lin Xi also knew why the elders of the family were in such a hurry to urge the marriage. The first is to protect Li Xuancheng in this way, and the second is to conclude a further strategic relationship with Li Xuancheng's maternal family, the Gu family.

Unlike the Gu family, which has always developed in the field of science and technology, many people in the Lin family have joined the army and have considerable influence in the military circles. If the opponent insists on going his own way and wants to get rid of Li Xuancheng, then the Lin family will retaliate by the same means, whether it is framing or sneak attack and assassination, in terms of playing conspiracy, the major families are actually not much different, otherwise they would not have today's status.

Lin Xi turned off the screen and picked up the photo frame on the small coffee table next to him. The frames kept switching according to her thoughts, and then a young girl appeared.

The girl carried a large backpack on her back, walked briskly, looked back and smiled, smiling innocently.

Although she is still childish, she has faintly shown a peerless appearance. The big eyes sparkled, revealing an air of innocence. The long hair fluttering in the sun, each end of which seemed to be dyed with a touch of gold.

It was Lin Xi in childhood, and when the photo was taken, there were still three days before her tenth birthday.

Then, on her tenth birthday, the whole world changed, the sunlight disappeared from her world, the sky was only a heavy gray, and the backpack became heavier and heavier.

In that boundless gray, there are only a few bright colors, mostly from the family elders, grandfathers, fathers, uncles. There is only one outsider, Li Xuancheng.

At that time, on the gray field, a tall young man who seemed to be shining with sunlight walked towards her, leaned over slightly, and stretched out his hand: "Come, give me the bag, I'll help you carry it!"

The scene cuts to years later.

The young man was already dressed in a military uniform, leading the way ahead, carrying her backpack. Wherever he walked, there were sporadic sunshines that refused to be extinguished, and became a bright and warm road. It was the only bright color in the gray field, and she wouldn't lose it.

The young man turned around, smiled, and said, "When you grow up, I will let you be my bride." ”

The girl was a little confused and nodded.

Another year has passed.

Many elders appeared in the field, some she knew and some she didn't. The elders talked happily with each other, and in the course of their conversation, they made a marriage contract, which was that of a young girl, but no one came to ask her opinion. Adults think that she is still young and does not need to express her opinions, just listen to adults.

Fortunately, the other party to the marriage contract was the big brother who was shining with sunshine, and the girl did not express her opinion. She just said it, and no one listened.

Since she was ten years old, she felt that she understood most things, even some current politics and military planes that even adults had a headache for, she could understand them as soon as she heard them. It's a natural understanding, no need to think.

But there are other things, everything in this gray world, she is ignorant, as if her mind is frozen in the day before her tenth birthday, and she has never moved.

Lin Xi sighed lightly.

The gray world in his memories melted like ice and snow, and Li Xuancheng in his childhood memories was still standing there, but there was no sunlight on his body.

Lin Xi scratched his hair with some annoyance, and then suddenly began to miss the long hair he used to have. On her tenth birthday, she cut her long hair short and has never grown it since.

Gray memories are chaotic, both in timeline and logic. Lin Xi has another clear memory, that is, the marriage contract was made when she was eleven years old.

Before signing the marriage contract, she actually hadn't seen Li Xuancheng, and it was only after the marriage contract that she saw this big boy with sunshine all over her body for the first time.

At that time, the big boy would tell her stories, including the exploration of the sea of stars, battle stories, and a lot of alien anecdotes. Many of these are his own experiences, which made little Lin Xi very surprised, and he also envied that he had traveled so many places.

Then she was less repulsed by the marriage contract. In fact, she also knows that as a child of a big family, this is the ultimate fate. Affection is no longer the determining factor, and in the face of hundreds of years of artificial human life and bodily functions that do not begin to decay until the age of 100, love has become extremely fragile and difficult to match the invasion of time.

Therefore, the big men have long reached a consensus that only blood is the most unbreakable bond.

During that time, the visit of the big boy became the only bright color in the life of the little Lin Xi, and he also walked into the gray memory of Lin Xi and became an indispensable part of it.

Every unsupportable night, when the little Lin Xi closed herself in the gray world and cried, the big boy was able to warm her sunshine.

Until she grows up and struggles out of the gray world.

Now Lin Xi rarely falls into the gray world in a nightmare. The gray world was gradually becoming a mere memory, but the process was very, very slow, and she didn't know how long it would take to get rid of the shadow of her childhood.

This memory could not be told to anyone, and she never revealed the slightest thing. Because she is Lin Xi and the mainstay of the new generation of the Lin family, she can't have any shortcomings, nor can she be weak. Just like the results in the Zhige Academy, you must not slip to second, let alone fifth.

She sighed silently, whether it was the friendship of the past or considering the core interests of the family, it seemed that this marriage contract had to be fulfilled.

She thought about it repeatedly, but it became more and more clear that she had no choice.

For some reason, she felt something strange at this moment, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon. She endured it hard, but she couldn't help it, so she covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound, but tears burst out of her eyes!

Lin Xi was very flustered, not understanding why he was crying and what he was crying about.

Is it because the big boy in his memory has faded away from the sunshine that he once was?

At this moment, Chu Jungui held his luggage and walked into the room assigned to him under the guidance of an officer. His treatment this time was not bad, he was assigned to a separate room, and he was treated the same as Meng Jianghu. And Qin Yi can only squeeze into one room with people.

Chu Jungui put down his luggage and opened the terminal in the room, habitually wanting to see if there was any free computing power available.

Unfortunately, there is no free and a bunch of charges.

The subject was slightly disappointed, and couldn't help but miss the time when he was in the Ninth Fleet. At that time, he had an almost endless amount of computing power at his disposal, even extravagant enough to use it to shape formulas. In other words, the visualization projected by the formula is more colorful.

The visual image of the model is like the work of a calligrapher, and it doesn't matter what is written, the key is whether the words are good or not. In the same way, visualizing images is beautiful and doesn't help calculations.

Chu Jungui closed the terminal with deep regret. He didn't understand, when he had a huge amount of computing power, why would he rather be idle than use it? He didn't always engage in model beautification.
