Chapter 268 Don’t go gentle into that good night
The restaurant Su Chengyi booked was a "night tea". The food was similar to that of the morning tea restaurant, except that the opening hours were changed to the evening.
"Have you had morning tea before?"
"No."
The temperature in the private room was just right, so Chen Jinzhi naturally helped him take off his scarf.
Two scarves of the same style were stacked together and placed next to them.
"It's okay. I used to eat it a lot when I was a kid. Although it's called morning tea, many people will eat it from morning to afternoon."
Su Chengyi smiled and handed over the menu.
Su Zelang’s hometown is in the vernacular area, which is probably a characteristic of that area.
Chen Jinzhi took off her mask. She had a small face, and an ordinary-sized mask almost covered most of her face.
The wind blew along the way just now, and the tip of my nose was a little red.
I don’t know why, but it looks even more beautiful.
“You order it, I don’t know what’s delicious.”
She noticed Su Chengyi’s unblinking gaze and raised a nice smile.
“Okay.”
Su Chengyi took the menu back and asked aloud while ticking the boxes.
“Crisp bamboo shoots and fresh shrimp dumplings, brothy Cordyceps flower shrimp dumplings, red pink abalone and chicken eye dumplings, steamed pork ribs, southern onion flavored golden tripe. Do you like to eat all of these?”
“ It’s okay, don’t order too much.”
“Thousand-layer puff pastry tart, cream pudding, cheese salmon wonderful roll.”
“Order less, you won’t be able to finish it later. .”
"It's okay, the portions are not big. Tiger skin and chicken feet, water chestnut and tangerine peel beef balls, seaweed and shrimp rice rolls, finger shrimp spring rolls."
"Su Chengyi."
".Okay, okay, no. Ordered.”
——————————
The waiter came and took away the menu, and brought the hot tea first.
Su Chengyi took a whiff and realized it was oolong tea.
Chen Jinzhi happened to feel a little thirsty. The wind here in the capital was stronger and the air was drier than in the south.
Unexpectedly, Su Chengyi picked up the teapot and first scalded the bowl, chopsticks and cups one by one.
Realizing Chen Jinzhi’s slightly confused eyes, Su Chengyi coughed and explained:
“I’m used to it. It’s been like this since I was a kid.
As soon as I came to this Cantonese restaurant, my blood was awakened. "
Chen Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh, and waited quietly for him to finish the operation before drinking tea.
When the dishes came one after another, Su Chengyi realized that he had indeed ordered too much.
Chen Jinzhi pursed his lips and asked slowly:
"Teacher Su, do you know what the most important self-cultivation of an idol is?" ”
Su Chengyi was silent for a moment and replied cautiously:
“Can’t fall in love?”
“No, it’s about body management.”
“You’re already so thin. What’s the big deal about having a meal?”
Su Chengyi brought a cage of crystal clear shrimp dumplings in front of her.
Chen Jinzhi smiled and sighed, and ate two of them with dignity.
Su Chengyi suddenly thought of how she could endure the consumption of a high school senior by drinking a glass of iced Americano and a mouthful of rice for the whole day.
These two palm-sized shrimp dumplings may be her limit.
"Don't force it if you can't eat it. If your stomach hurts, just try it."
Su Chengyi can only solve the problem of Haikou that he praised himself.
Chen Jinzhi took the time to mix the sauce for him, then held his chin up and watched him eat with a smile.
By the end of the meal, I could hardly taste the food anymore. Everything I ate was the same.
But Su Chengyi remained calm on the surface, waved his hand and said calmly:
"Look, I just said, cough, the portion is not much."
< br>Thinking of myself in the kindergarten class who was so tough-talking in order to get the little red flower "the best at eating".
Chen Jinzhi sighed, pulled the chair closer to him, and stretched out his hand to slowly rub his belly.
"Would you like some yogurt?"
"It's not impossible."
Su Chengyi ordered another strawberry jam yogurt.
Since the meal took a little longer than expected, the two of them didn't step into the theater until the movie was about to start.
"Interstellar" is a movie that is highly rated in all aspects, so the seats were naturally full on the day of the screening.
When Su Chengyi bought the ticket, he actually thought that the last row would be more hidden.
But now that I walked in, I discovered that the last row was originally a couple's seat.
They are arranged in twos and are separated from other seats by baffles, so that the people inside will not be noticed by the people next to them when they do anything.
Su Chengyi paused, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
Chen Jinzhi led him straight inside as if nothing had happened.
The seat is in the innermost position, which is really dark and hidden.
I didn’t think much about it when I bought it, but now it seems that it really has ulterior motives!
Considering his night blindness, Chen Jinzhi walked very slowly and said in a gentle voice:
“Walk slowly and be careful where you step.”
Su Chengyi said "hmm" and looked away with a guilty conscience.
None of the lovers who were already seated next to them raised their heads to look at them, they were all immersed in the atmosphere of love and affection.
Is it possible that it is not yet the season of spring for all things to revive?
Isn’t the hormone index in the air too high? !
Don’t you know that cinema surveillance can capture everything clearly?
Su Chengyi shouted silently in his heart while obediently following Chen Jinzhi to his seat.
The movie hasn't started yet, and advertisements and firefighting videos are playing on the screen in turn.
"Have you seen the trailer before coming here?"
The atmosphere was a little too charming, and Su Chengyi had nothing to say.
"Well, after you said it, I looked at it on the way here."
Chen Jinzhi casually tucked his hair behind his ears and leaned lightly on his shoulder.
“I haven’t watched a few science fiction movies, will I not understand it?”
“No, I will tell you what I don’t understand.”
Su Chengyi rubbed her head with his chin. After saying this, he realized that he sounded like a spoiler who had already seen the movie.
Fortunately, Chen Jinzhi nodded and did not go into details.
Su Chengyi himself is an out-and-out science fiction fan, and he is the kind of person who would really consult thick books of papers because of a certain movie plot.
So for him, this is also the charm of science fiction movies.
It can break down the barriers of scientific secrets that are difficult to understand and keep away from strangers, so that everyone can feel the power and beauty of science and technology.
In addition to the disillusionment of history disappearing, the insignificance of human destiny, and the ruthless passage of time, there are also the soft warmth and humanity in the hard steel and cold numbers, the only hope left in the desperate situation of life and death. Brilliance.
These are the reasons why Su Chengyi loves science fiction, but he is ashamed that he has forgotten all of them at this moment.
It doesn’t matter whether I’m watching “Interstellar” or “The Peach Blossom Man vs. the Chrysanthemum Monster” with the warm and fragrant nephrite in my arms.
At the beginning of the movie, the sentence in the trailer was shown.
“We once looked up at the stars and thought about our place in the universe; now, we just focus on the earth and worry about our situation in the world.” Dramatic climate changes, frequent sandstorms, crops, Dying, species extinct.
Like the dim and gloomy tones, the early movies showed a new earth full of doomsday atmosphere.
Industrial society has completely degenerated into agricultural society, and humans have focused more on how to produce more food to solve the problem of famine.
Su Chengyi was a little worried that Chen Jinzhi would be bored by this slightly lengthy beginning, so he quietly glanced sideways at her.
Her long eyelashes were slightly drooped, and she looked very serious.
Su Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, put aside his distracting thoughts, and re-watched this movie that he liked very much.
The hero's daughter discovered a strange gravity field phenomenon in the study room. Books fell out of the bookcase for no reason, and the dust on the ceiling was arranged into special shapes.
The daughter thought it was a ghost, but the hero didn't believe it and cracked the dust code and obtained the coordinates of the scientific research institution.
The male protagonist also joined the plan to save mankind.
Scientific research institutions have discovered that there are three planets on the other side of the wormhole that may be suitable for human habitation. Plan A is to obtain the gravity algorithm and black hole data and build a space station to save everyone on the earth; Plan B is to abandon everyone on the earth and bring them with them. Fertilized eggs immigrate to alien planets.
Although the plot was already familiar to her, Su Chengyi still felt sad when she saw the part where the hero and his daughter said goodbye, and when her daughter cried and said that she had unlocked the code for the books that fell from the bookshelf.
"Stay. (Stay.)"
Perhaps because we know the ending, this section seems even more sad.
After so many years, I have become gray-haired again.
Chen Jinzhi in his arms sighed softly as if he had a premonition of something.
Su Chengyi wanted to say something, but he was afraid of accidentally spoiling the story, so he had to keep quiet.
Fortunately, the exciting movie plot and gorgeous special effects that followed diluted this sad atmosphere.
In order to escape, the male and female protagonists can only use the "gravitational slingshot effect" of the black hole to launch the space station towards the planet Edmunds.
“The spacecraft uses the gravitational field of the planet to achieve acceleration. The planet’s gravity ejects the spacecraft like a slingshot.
Let the black hole pull the spacecraft to the calculated critical point, The spacecraft ignites instantly, so that the spacecraft will be launched to the new planet."
Su Chengyi lowered his head and explained in a low voice.
Chen Jinzhi said "hmm" and took a deep breath, seeming a little nervous.
It's right to be nervous, because what follows is the climax of the entire film.
The male protagonist entered a black hole, but miraculously survived and entered a strange space-the hypercube.
The male protagonist saw his daughter here, so he used gravity to move the books on his daughter's bookshelf. The books fell to the ground, which was the "ghost" at the beginning of the film.
And that phrase "Stay" is also a message left by the male protagonist himself.
Stay, don’t go, stay with your daughter.
However, he in the future did not change the past, everything still happened according to the original trajectory.
But now everything turned around again.
“Love is the only thing that can travel through time and space.”
The male protagonist used the hands of the watch he gave to his daughter to pass the black hole data using Morse code.
The camera came to the earth on the other side. After getting the quantum data, the daughter solved the gravity formula and found a way to save all mankind.
Because of the time difference between the black hole and the earth, the male protagonist was saved and came to the space station built by his daughter. The father and daughter were finally able to meet again.
But at this time, a hundred years have passed on earth, and the male protagonist is still the same as before. In his memory, his daughter is still a little girl, but she is already a centenarian lying on the bed dying.
At this point in the movie, there was already a low sobbing sound in the theater.
“Do not go gentle into that good night,
The day is approaching, the old age should still burn and roar,
Rage, rage at the passing of the light. ”
The end is coming, and mankind has reached the real end of the road and the edge of extinction.
After technology, industry, and all means have lost their effectiveness, love is the only thing that can cut off disasters through time. Things.
Time cannot be turned back, space cannot be blocked, black holes swallow everything, and the stars of the universe will always shine unknown on the other side.
In front of these behemoths, human beings are like ants, but love is. It is a force powerful enough to compete with it.
As the saying goes, life is as humble as duckweed, but love is as heroic as the sky.
Unlike other viewers who were crying, the people around him were quiet at this time.
Su Chengyi stared at the screen, but silently took a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jinzhi.
Sometimes it is strange that there is some kind of magnetic field between the two people, and they can feel each other's emotions from the heart.
When the movie ended and the lights came on, the moviegoers did not stand up for a long time, still immersed in the shock of the movie.
Su Chengyi suddenly recalled what he was thinking when he watched this movie in his previous life.
Thinking about the five-dimensional space-time relationship, thinking about the paradox of space-time, thinking about Murphy's Law, and thinking about the Möbius strip.
Wondering whether what has happened is what should have happened and is bound to happen.
The male protagonist did not change history, because saving mankind is what should happen in history.
But at this time.
Su Chengyi just turned sideways and hugged Chen Jinzhi.
The heating in the theater was turned on at full speed, the side of her face was warm, and her eyelashes were moist with tears, highlighting the authenticity of this moment.
If history can be changed, then I have changed;
If history cannot be changed, it means that no matter which timeline, we are destined to meet.
This is a God-given match and destiny.
After coming out of the cinema, there is a park with an artificial lake. It is in a remote location, and it is late at night, so there are few people around.
On the long stone road there were almost only the footsteps of two people walking side by side, echoing gently in the silent night.
There are many trees around. If you come during the day, it should be a good place to enjoy the scenery.
It is better at dusk. If you sit by the lake, you can see the fiery red sunset reflected on the lake, contrasting with the sunset on the horizon.
Both of them enjoyed this alone time quietly, and no one spoke for a while.
There was no one around, so Chen Jinzhi took off her mask and wrapped her scarf around her neck. The hot breath she exhaled turned into white mist and quickly dissipated.
Su Chengyi did not mention the hotel. Chen Jinzhi will have activities during the day tomorrow and will have to fly back to the Magic City overnight.
Looking at her slightly tired expression under the street light, Su Chengyi suddenly regretted his decision to invite her to watch a movie.
"Thank you, Teacher Su, for inviting me to watch the movie."
Chen Jinzhi accurately captured his emotional dissociation like a roundworm in his stomach.
Su Chengyi stood still and reached out to brush her forehead hair that was messed up by the night wind.
Chen Jinzhi's eyes were so gentle that they seemed to melt into the night. She slowly opened her mouth and read out the poem quoted in the movie.
“Don’t go gentle into that good night.”
Su Chengyi was slightly startled, and followed her words and read out the second half of the verse:
“The dying person The solemn person, with dazzling vision,
Seeing the blind eyes shining with joy like shooting stars,
raging, raging against the death of light.
And my father, in the highest place of sorrow,
I pray that you will curse me with your tears and bless me,
Do not go gentle into that good night,< br>
Resist, resist the annihilation of light. "
This is his favorite part of the whole poem.
In the slow night wind, Chen Jinzhi said with a smile as gentle as the moonlight:
"Su Chengyi , it was you who kept me from going into that good night gently.
You let me know the meaning of life and give me something to look forward to tomorrow.
Because of you, I resist the annihilation of light. ”
