Relying on his intuition, Juxi followed behind the woman, walking forward with measured steps.
He felt that his head had never been so uncomfortable before, even a nauseating feeling, his stomach began to churn incessantly.
It was unclear how long they had been walking, but Juxi and the woman stopped in front of an elevator door.
"Mr. Juxi, please this way," the woman said, making way for Juxi, as if she had no intention of moving forward herself.
Juxi was unsure of what was happening, but he walked dazedly into the elevator, finding himself surrounded by six blank square walls.
Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down, frightening Juxi into quickly turning his head back!
"Don't worry, I've been here all along," the woman patted his shoulder from behind and reassured him.
Startled, Juxi turned back, only to be startled again by the woman.
The woman didn't say anything, she just guarded the elevator door, never speaking a word to Juxi.
Juxi knew that he hadn't enjoyed himself like this for a long time, it was a feeling that only living people could experience, it was actually about living a real life.
And Juxi knew that he didn't have much time left, he only hoped to have a memorable memory in these remaining moments, not something as simple and perfunctory as now.
Moreover, it had been so long since then, Juxi's memories were extremely limited.
However, as limited as his memories were, he still remembered his parents and some important people, which already satisfied him.
Whether in heaven or on earth, whether in life or in death, Juxi didn't care, nor did he think too much.
He knew that if he took everything seriously, it would only be a thankless task in the end.
So, even if he was a foolish person, after going through so many years of things, he should have figured it out long ago.
The woman didn't say much, she just pulled Juxi to the observation deck.
"Juxi, in fact, our identities are the same, ordinary. You could say that all of us on this ship are ordinary children... Some of them even have no home to return to."
"I don't even know what I'm doing now, why ask me this?" Juxi pretended to be foolish.
"Are you pretending to be foolish with me?" The woman wasn't angry, at least she didn't show it on the surface. "Juxi, I'm telling you very clearly, you're not dreaming right now."
Even though the woman had already warned him, Juxi still didn't care and said, "Whether I'm dreaming or not right now, dreaming in broad daylight or not!"
With him saying that, the woman became even calmer. "Since you're such an open-minded person, I won't force you. After disembarking from the ship, you can go find a place to settle down."
"What's wrong? Are you going to kick me out as the captain?" Juxi asked without fear.
"You're overthinking it, we don't have any grudges between us, why would I kick you out?" The woman still looked indifferent, maintaining her unique indifference throughout.
But this indifference seemed no different from her being angry in Juxi's eyes.
However, Juxi couldn't explain it at the moment, he couldn't wake up from the confusion in his mind, so he was emotionally unstable for a while.
After all, so much time had passed, and Juxi had forgotten many things.
But there were still some things that he had remembered, including things related to his own identity.
He no longer wants to mention those things that are already irrelevant, because compared to other people, he and ordinary people have long lost any difference.
Juxi is only puzzled, puzzled about his current state, is it really called luck? Or is it a misfortune?
Of course, no matter what others think, at least Juxi now considers himself to be unfortunate, and a huge misfortune at that!
Unlike some confused people, he sometimes understands, and sometimes he is confused.
If it were just communication between ordinary people, perhaps Juxi would temporarily forget some unpleasant things. But now, when a man and a woman stand together, they can't seem to say anything.
The woman also has an anxious look on her face, it seems that she also wants to communicate, but...
"So many years have passed, I..." The woman just started to say something, but when she saw Juxi's eyes, she instinctively avoided.
"Captain, do you have anything else to say?" Juxi said with a blank expression, his face looking unusually unpleasant.
"Let's forget it," the woman forgot what she wanted to say, so all she could do was wave her hand, "you should temporarily leave here. The spaceship won't be moving for much longer, and you should go talk to people you know. After all... it feels awkward to talk to a stranger like me, right?"
"No! Although I think what you said makes sense, I still feel that you look familiar, at least not so unfamiliar." Juxi quickly explained.
From the moment he saw the woman in the red dress, he was certain that he had known this woman before, and was very familiar with her!
However, the woman doesn't remember anything now when she sees Juxi, as if his memories are not real.
When the woman heard Juxi say that he was familiar, she said somewhat mysteriously, "Perhaps, we are all the same. Even if we did catch a glimpse of each other before, that's all in the past, and it's a distant past... right?"
"You're right, maybe I'm just thinking too much." Juxi said, although he said this out loud, he didn't really think so deep down.
He wasn't someone who talked nonsense, if there really is such a day, then it means he has really forgotten everything.
"You should go, don't keep the awakened people waiting for too long. Also, there is no passenger list on the spaceship, so you should go back and check, there might be your family or friends among the ones who returned!" The woman hurriedly urged Juxi, showing no intention of holding him back.
She didn't find Juxi irritating, it's just that she has gotten used to this feeling of loneliness, and suddenly having such a lively moment makes her feel a bit uncomfortable.
But when Juxi left, he still felt a bit dejected, mainly because he never got the answer he wanted, only a lot of doubts remained.
It can be said that Juxi has become confused, but it cannot be said that he has forgotten everything himself, right?
Although Juxi has forgotten many things, he is very clear in his heart. If there really are important people, he would definitely remember them and they wouldn't be forgotten like his own parents.
"Why?" Juxi asked himself, "I am completely ignorant of my own relatives, but I feel something for a completely unfamiliar woman... sigh... maybe I'm just overthinking?"
Juxi can only try to hypnotize himself as much as possible, telling himself that those things in the dream were all fabricated, definitely not the so-called truth!
Contrasting with that woman... After watching Juxi leave, she secretly took out a well-protected photo from her pocket, and on it, surprisingly, was Juxi!
Initially, the woman wanted to tear the photo apart, but her rationality stopped her from doing so.
"It has been ten thousand years... and you are still so foolish."
...
Returning to his own room meant freedom for Juxi. Now he could do whatever he wanted, whether it was sleeping... well, maybe not sleeping.
After seeing his narrow sleeping pod, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"The design is really stingy. Couldn't they make the sleeping pod a little bigger?"
While complaining, Juxi sat back down and laid back.
As time passed in the real world, he finally began to feel some differences.
This oppressive feeling allowed Juxi to truly experience what spatial awareness meant, and it made him long for the big bed he used to sleep on.
Oh, if he had known he would be coming back so soon, he would have slept well on that big bed. Returning to reality is just torture! Juxi thought to himself.
It can be said that Juxi has completely transformed himself into a baby. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Now that he faces a new world, he does so with this attitude!
"I'd better go out and get some fresh air. This sleeping pod is so uncomfortable! It's fine when you're sleeping and have no feeling or resistance, but if a fully awake person goes inside, it's like torture."
Complaining, Juxi crawled out of the sleeping pod and simply laid on top of it.
After all, it was flat up there, and if you compare the sizes, it was more than double the width inside.
Don't be deceived by the space inside being less than a meter, because the outside had nearly one and a half meters of width. If it was just one person sleeping, or even adding a woman, there would be no problem.
A woman...
When it came to a woman, Juxi suddenly remembered something, but that thought only lasted a moment and then vanished completely.
"Huh?" Juxi patted his head and said, "Tell me, what did I just remember? Can you hurry up and tell me?"
He was questioning his own head, but it's attached to him, so it's his own business.
After racking his brains for a long time, Juxi finally gave up.
At times like this, there was only one solution, and that was to play dumb!
It had been such a long time already, if Juxi couldn't even distinguish things like this, then this was his level.
But there was one question: if he really did figure it out like this, would he...
No, I'm not worried about her, I'm only worried about myself! Juxi reminded himself in his mind.
If he let himself be confined by the past again, he would be seeking pain for no reason.
No one, whether it's a hooligan or a sage, would ever consider pain to be a good thing.
"Forget it... Can I do it?"
