_3 Bowing her head,
she clutched Zheng Chenghe’s urn,
wiping and wiping again until it was spotless.
...
Time slowly trickled by.
Lin Xian still lived in the past, whereas centuries of time had already passed for Zheng Xiangyue.
At this moment, by a twist of fate,
Lin Xian did not know what to say.
“So...”
he swallowed:
“Did you bury my brother’s urn on the Moon?”
Grandma Zheng Xiangyue lifted her head, smiled softly, and began to recount the tale of bygone days—
“When I awoke from the hibernation pod, it was the year 2523, exactly 101 years ago from now.
When I came to, my mind was a blank slate; I knew nothing, had no idea where I was, nor who I was.”
“It was only after a series of educational programs following my revival from hibernation that I understood I had gone to sleep in a hibernation pod on Earth, but when Mr.
Jask launched the Mars colonization program, he seemed to have had prior knowledge of the super-disaster that would strike Earth in 2400...
He transported many hibernation pods, including mine, to the distant Mars to continue their operation.”
“The super-disaster of 2400 destroyed everything on Earth, making it uninhabitable.
Thus, I managed to evade disaster on Mars.
By the time I woke up in 2523, my congenital heart disease had been completely cured, leaving me healthy and full of vitality.
It was then that Mr.
Even though she had become an old grandmother, Zheng Xiangyue seemed to still cherish this “somewhat ugly” Rhine Cat.
She did not hand it over for Lin Xian to see, but instead placed it at the corner of her bed for him to admire from a distance.
It seems...
Zheng Xiangyue had long forgotten that this Rhine Cat Doll was actually a gift from Lin Xian.
Under the dim light of the lard lamp, Lin Xian looked intently at the Rhine Cat.
Compared to the one he had given her, one of only two giant Rhine Cats in the whole world...
you could say it was a poor imitation; probably not a scrap of fabric or a thread was from 600 years ago.
Firstly, in terms of size.
The one he gave Zheng Xiangyue was an oversized doll; initially, Zheng Xiangyue couldn’t even hold it, and it was Zheng Chenghe who helped her carry the giant Rhine Cat to her bed.
Later, when Zheng Chenghe passed away, Zheng Xiangyue grew stronger and naturally could carry the giant Rhine Cat herself.
But this “Ship of Theseus Cat” before us now was clearly much smaller, no bigger than two basketballs.
Then, in terms of style.
There was basically no resemblance to the original gigantic Rhine Cat Doll anymore.
But that’s not Jask’s fault.
No toy or doll can survive 500 years unscathed.
They are bound to fall apart.
And not just traditionally break, but utterly fall apart...
all the threads would come undone, all fabric would age, discolor, become as brittle as seaweed, turning to ash upon touch...
not to mention the cotton stuffing, which would have surely turned to mush long before 500 years had passed.
So being restored to this state was already quite an achievement.
“It’s strange when you think about it.”
Zheng Xinyue looked at the doll on the bed with a loving smile:
“Mr.
Jask said he wanted to buy an exact replica, or even make a new one for me.
But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find the original design...
not to mention a doll of the same style, he couldn’t find any images, photos, or promotional materials for it anywhere.”
