Chapter 94: Can't Go Back
Elvin was silent for a while.
He suddenly whispered: "Do you know? When I first got on the spaceship, I regretted it, regretted abandoning everything on the earth, regretting abandoning billions of property and superior life on the earth. I have been spending these eight or nine months in regret, so the paintings I drew were just a pile of garbage!"
Zhang Yuan was stunned, wondering why Elvin suddenly said this, "Mr. Elvin, you can choose to go back. In Europa, we have our industrial base, plus the return spacecraft... we can return to Earth."
Elvin shook his head and his tone began to worsen, "If I can't go back, once I go back, I will be despised forever and I will never be able to sell any paintings!"
"This is impossible. I have gone but never returned..."
"In their eyes, I am already a real dead person! Even if I go back with shame, I will be assassinated. Do you know... Only works of dead people can be sold at a real high price!"
"I shouldn't continue like this! But I'm scared and regretted, I regret losing everything I already have."
"I miss life on earth, but I can't go back!" Elvin became more and more excited, speaking faster and faster. Because of the pain in his heart, tears came out of his nose and eyes.
Zhang Yuan was speechless.
Suddenly, Elvin seemed to have thought of something and screamed wildly.
"I will draw a real work of art to record my cowardice, timidity and ignorance at this moment. This is the real me, and I have always had a great personality, go to hell!"
...
After saying goodbye to this great painter, Zhang Yuan returned to the living area and called the superior liaison officer in the community.
"Is it Ms. Lin Xuan?"
"Hello, what's there to help?"
"That's right, I suggest you find a psychologist to visit the painter in District M, Mr. Elvin. It seems that something is wrong with him..." Zhang Yuan talked about the causes and consequences of the entire incident.
"Okay, I get it. Thank you for your advice."
After hanging up the phone, he felt relieved. This was the best way he could choose.
He felt that as Europa approached, everyone became a little nervous, probably related to the special group of people he came into contact with, and probably related to the increasingly depressing atmosphere on the spacecraft.
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 thought without affecting some other simple activities.
He can think while eating, or even think secretly when talking to people, but he looks a little nerdy at this time.
It's even somewhat similar to some scientists who bump into a telephone pole while walking.
Sometimes, Zhang Yuan would question whether he should do some work that can achieve results instead of gnawing on this tough problem.
But in the end, it was vetoed.
Anyway, I am still young, even if I fail, what is it?
"bite!"
The contact watch on his wrist suddenly rang, Zhang Yuan came to his senses and shook his slightly tired brain.
This communication device often publishes some large-scale group activities such as symposiums, songs and dances.
[...Tonight, the notes of youth are beating and the flames of passion are burning. A mysterious song and dance party will be staged on the song stage in the Z area.]
[There are even once-in-a-lifetime spicy hot pot and fried foods to eat!]
I felt a little drooling when the new batch of peppers was already ripe?
Anyway, it’s also idle, so it’s good to enjoy the dance.
Area z is the upper area of the ring-shaped living area. Because it is closer to the central axis, the gravity here is about half that of the earth.
In low gravity environments, the human body will become lighter, while various difficult dances such as ballet will become simpler.
Zhang Yuan was not too anxious and came to District z and bought a ticket.
Not expensive, only 40 yuan.
Then, I found a remote location to sit down and started to enjoy the buffet.
Although it is a buffet, the taste of meat dishes is generally not very good. Synthetic pork, synthetic mutton, and synthetic mutton are all meatballs.
However, a little more spicy taste of chili and fried in the oil, it seems to be a little better. After all, I usually eat steamed dishes, so I almost vomited.
Zhang Yuan misses the big chicken legs on the earth, spicy hot pot, hot pot, seafood noodles, Lanzhou ramen...
Just as he was sweating profusely, an unexpected figure sat directly opposite him.
It is his senior brother Zhao Qingfeng.
Zhao Qingfeng said: "Your eating style is so unpolite. I didn't expect you to attend such parties, don't you participate in dance?"
Zhang Yuan wiped the peppers from his mouth, "If I don't go, I just found a place to be quiet and have some spicy food."
Dance party? Don’t you think it’s strange to eat chili while dancing?
"Jingjing, be quiet in this place?" Zhao Qingfeng said with some fun, "I've come here, why are you pretending to be serious? Do I want me to introduce you to a very open Western girl and eat spicy hot pot together?"
"I also have a bottle of ancestral beef sauce, which I brought from the earth. Do you want to eat it?"
Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Zhao was still a foodie, carrying the precious material share and bringing food.
Zhang Yuan joked: "You can try the beef sauce, but I can't stand the Western girls. Why do you, a married man, come here too? As far as I know, this is a single club, another form of blind date."
"Senior Brother Zhao, cheating during marriage is a pig cage that needs to be soaked in the pig cage..."
Zhao Qingfeng pointed to the opposite side, "Isn't my wife there? Appreciating the beauty of art together is the joy of life. Whether men or women, they like beautiful girls. People like you who do not have aesthetic ability do not understand at all."
Zhang Yuan coughed dryly.
"Hi, Mr. Zhang, are you here to come to my performance?"
A girl came towards her, with long golden hair hanging on her shoulders casually and a white ballet dress on her body. She didn't have much embellishment, but she felt extremely elegant and beautiful.
Zhang Yuan raised his head and forgot who this girl was for a while. He only felt that she looked pretty and seemed quite familiar. She hadn't seen her before.
"Who are you……"
"After spending so long together, you actually forgot who I am?" The girl frowned, with a little dissatisfied in her tone.
"So it's Anna, haha..." Zhang Yuan was quite embarrassed, and he could tell the other person's identity from the girl's tone.
In fact, it was a colleague in the laboratory. As a result, I changed my thick space suit and I didn’t know each other anymore.
Zhang Yuan thought to himself, I can't blame me, you usually wear a space suit and speak through a layer of headphones.
But he praised repeatedly, "I didn't expect you to be so beautiful and you can dance ballet?"
Anna smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to perform on stage later... This gentleman, if you want to pursue me, you can consider giving you a chance."
"Then, I'll invite you to have spicy synthetic meatballs." Zhang Yuan seemed to have thought about a key point, and he didn't know what his mouth was saying.
