Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Chapter 486 A long nap

88 years old.

In a bit of laziness and aimlessness,

Mo Dao still came to the end of this life.

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi both had great expectations for this day.

The physical examination in the spring of that year was enough to detect clues about Mo Dao's physical condition.

However, this did not affect the two of them spending the rest of the day as usual.

Just like Mo Dao's life as a war reporter,

She knew that Mo Dao's choice was dangerous, but Qin Huaishi would not mention her worries, nor would she hinder Mo Dao's choice.

She would only share some interesting things about her with Mo Dao when she was communicating with her, to make Mo Dao feel more relaxed.

The same is true for the end of this life, if the end is destined to be inevitable.

Until the final moment arrives, the two of them will still spend their time as usual.

There is no need to cherish this period of time even more.

Because during the time the two of them spent together, they never felt wasted or regretful.

…

March, April, May.

With the coldness of winter and spring, the coolness gradually fades away,

There is a bit more dryness in the air,

Time began to enter the early summer of that year.

That month, many former students and acquaintances in the field of astronomy came to visit Mo Dao.

In this life, although I didn’t take the initiative to do many things,

But in the field of astronomy, Mo Dao in this life can still be regarded as Taishan Beidou.

In the past, there was a vague trend of being the first person in the field of astronomy research in China.

Although "Fundamentals of Astronomy" was published when he was eighty years old, it did not have much response among the public.

But in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology, it is still a landmark academic work.

Probably because they heard about Mo Dao's physical condition somewhere, many people came here specially.

However, just like previous lives,

In the last period of time, Mo Dao declined other people's visits.

Just spending the last time in peace with his wife Qin Huaishi.

…

That day, the sun was shining brightly.

But through the gap between the trees in the community, when it fell on Mo Dao, he could no longer feel much warmth.

On this morning,

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi still spent their time normally, just like an ordinary day.

By noon,

Today compared to the previous days, Mo Dao suddenly seemed more energetic.

Together with Qin Huaishi, they made lunch for the day and declined the help from the life assistant.

A pair of old ladies who are over eighty years old,

Slowly, it took a lot longer than usual to finish this lunch.

at lunch,

The two of them also talked about ordinary things as usual.

Just some trivial household chores,

Or, Qin Huaishi mentioned the research in the biological field that he saw in a journal a few days ago, and why not mention some interesting things in the astronomical field that he accidentally learned.

After lunch.

The two of them did not choose to go out.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room of the house, you can see the dense shade of trees outside the window.

Feel the sunlight falling on you through the shade of the trees.

By this time,

After waking up early this morning, Mo Dao felt much better than he had in the past month.

It seems to be declining.

It's like the last bit of energy in the body has lost its source of regeneration,

Little by little it is taken away and never replenished.

Breathing also gradually became somewhat disordered.

His chest was rising and falling violently, and his breathing seemed to be making a hard and heavy sound.

But why did his consciousness seem to be withdrawn, and when his eyes were lowered to his body,

It was almost as if he couldn't feel his body, which was about to collapse due to aging, trembling unconsciously.

Qin Huaishi reached out and squeezed Mo Dao's hand.

But not a word was said.

She might also want to talk to Mo Dao as usual,

Don't let Mo Dao be afraid because of her worries.

But emotions cannot be concealed.

"Huai Shi, I'm a little tired."

"I understand. Just rest when you are tired. I will be by your side. I will always be there."

Mo Dao and his girl Qin Huaishi embraced each other.

The body on the verge of collapse seems to be making a last effort,

The sound of breathing was heavy, like a broken bellows still blowing.

Mo Dao couldn't feel the changes in his body, and the heavy and difficult breathing came from his mouth,

But it is because the ears hear the sound that we feel it.

In this life,

Mo Dao didn't do much,

Not many things have been changed, not many things have been implemented,

At the same time, there are no regrets.

Apart from occasionally looking at the stars,

He and his wife Qin Huaishi lived a peaceful life.

In this life, the two of them have not been separated for too long.

The two still have no children, but it doesn't matter to them.

In front of Mo Dao,

The countdown is gradually approaching zero,

My body felt light at first, as if I couldn't feel my body and limbs.

Then it became heavier again, as heavy as if it had lost the last of its strength.

Looking at Qin Huaishi, Mo Daozai finally squeezed Qin Huaishi's hand.

"Poetry."

"Yeah. It doesn't matter. Just rest when you're tired. I'm always here."

Here, my whole life starts over, and after seventy years,

The countdown in front of Mo Dao returned to zero again.

Qin Huaishi, who was holding Mo Dao, paused for a moment and said no more.

He just continued to hug Mo Dao quietly like this.

…

"Professor Mo Dao, a well-known astronomer, and Ms. Qin Huaishi, a well-known scholar in the field of biology, passed away in their homes in the capital recently."

"According to Ms. Qin Huaishi's last wish, Ms. Qin Huaishi and Professor Mo Dao will be buried together in the cemetery near the capital."

In this life, the deaths of Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi were naturally not as grand as in the previous life.

However, as a famous astronomer and biologist,

There are still many people who remember them, and in the relevant news, they commemorated their departure.

Their students also attended their memorial services.

At the same time, in order to commemorate the two people.

Astronomers will search for the long-night optical astronomical telescope,

The two stars in a binary star system within a hundred light years were named after Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi respectively.

"Professor Mo and Ms. Qin have a good journey. Thank you for your contributions in your respective fields. I hope you can continue to be together in the next life."

"I have read Professor Mo's book "The World Within 100 Light Years". Although most of the professional content in it is incomprehensible, it still made me very interested in the stars, and now I am also involved in the aerospace industry."

"Professor Mo is my senior, and Professor Qin is the teacher of my girlfriend's teacher. I hope that one day, we can work together and make contributions in these two fields like you."

…

The familiar sinking feeling returned.

Mo Dao regained consciousness and opened his eyes again.

The countdown that first appeared before my eyes and then submerged again,

After crossing zero, a number appeared that was extremely familiar to Mo Dao.

This means,

A new reincarnation starts from here again.

The first time,

What Mo Dao felt was that the wind blowing from the ceiling fan above his head was mixed with the hot wind blowing in from the classroom window.

This wind was already familiar to Mo Dao.

Mo Dao narrowed his eyes,

The heart was beating rapidly in the body that was still young at this moment.
