Chapter 27
Zhu Fu vaguely remembered that when she returned to Bach II, there was only one dock, which accommodated all departing and arriving ships.
After they got off the starship, if Zhu Xiaoling had not come to pick them up, they should have taken a shuttle to their specific destination.
However, the mother planet is different. It is not only large in area, but also the center of the Alpha Quadrant, carrying the important mission of being a transportation hub. Passengers from this planet, other planets in this quadrant, and the outer quadrant will be transported to different docks.
Fu Fu's family and Zhu Shaoquan had different destinations. The latter was going to the core area of the mother planet, the capital, where the royal family and government were located, while they took a shuttle to Liyuan Bay.
After Zhu Shaoquan's face, which made her want to punch him, disappeared, Fu Fu immediately forgot about him.
As the shuttle entered the coastal track, Fu Fu leaned over the window and looked down, seeing the endless vast ocean.
"Wow..." the child exclaimed.
A dolphin leaped out of the waves in the distance. This group of dolphins is pink, like a brilliant sunset.
Then came the second one, the third one...
The school of dolphins seemed to sense his arrival and greeted him from afar.
Liyuan Bay is one of the famous attractions on the mother planet, and countless tourists come here to visit.
Seeing dolphins leaping has always been a sign of good things to come, and tourists took out their wrist cameras to take pictures.
Fu Fu's own Little Genius wristband's camera function was average, so she wanted to use her father's; but when she turned around, she found Si Yin in a daze.
Zhu Xiyuan placed his hand on the back of his hand. The latter raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay."
The boy said nothing, just quietly watching the fathers' small and heartwarming interactions.
They support each other and have been in love since their previous life, and nothing has changed.
But, could something like wanting to see his mother really bother his father so much?
Zhu Fu, who dreams of reuniting with her fathers, finds it difficult to understand this feeling.
Is it because of the so-called homesickness, or is it that the grandmother herself is a person as annoying as Zhu Zhengde?
Three hours later, they arrived at their destination.
Tefse Sanatorium.
Fu Fu looked up at the line of extremely neat text.
In his impression, a sanatorium should be located in a beautiful environment - being built near Liyuan Bay was consistent with this - and have a relaxing atmosphere.
It will never be like the sanatorium in front of us, with high walls and even laser-sensing protective nets installed.
It seems... as if it is afraid that the people inside will run out.
The boy shrank unconsciously and was caught steadily by his father.
Si Yin picked him up and leaned his soft little body against his arms, which also gave him courage.
The three of them arrived at the registration office and had already submitted a visitor application in advance. They just needed a nurse to connect them.
"You're looking for Ms. Siqin, right?" The nurse checked with the PADD.
"right."
"What's your name?"
"Si Yin."
"Fellow visitor?"
"Zhu Xiyuan, Zhu Fu."
"What is your relationship to the patient?"
"my mother."
After answering a few simple questions, the nurse used a PADD to scan the pupils of the three of them. After the information matched, she took them to the terrace.
Fu Fu stayed in Si Yin's arms, looking around quietly.
This place was completely different from his impression of a nursing home. There were not only elderly people here, and many of the patients did not look very weak.
In addition to doctors and nurses, there are tall and strong guards equipped with phase guns in every activity room and even every corridor.
When passing by an activity room, there was a sound of something breaking suddenly, and a patient in a striped hospital gown yelled and began to tear his hair.
A nurse tried to stop him, but was pushed back and fell.
The medical staff was injured, and the guards outside immediately rushed in and knocked the patient unconscious with a phase gun. Then the doctor brought handcuffs.
The evil god had seen many things like this, so Zhu Fu was not afraid, but just a little confused.
His father held him in his arms and prevented him from watching the violent scene again.
It was not until she reached the terrace and smelled the salty sea breeze that Fu Fu slowly came to her senses.
...This is not a nursing home.
It's a mental hospital.
There were two people on the terrace, one of them was wearing a doctor's white coat and was holding a PADD and asking something.
The person being questioned had her silver hair tied up in a bun and was playing the violin in ecstasy, looking at the roses on the terrace and the sea in the distance, and she turned a deaf ear to all the doctor's questions.
The doctor saw the visitor and temporarily put away his PADD: "Mr. Si, long time no see."
Si Yin put the child down, and before Fu Fu could even take a look at his father's expression, Zhu Xiyuan grabbed her hand and brought her to him.
"Hello." Si Yin nodded at him, but his eyes were fixed on the patient's back, "How is my mother...?"
The doctor walked up to him and smiled bitterly, "You can see it too. He's pretty much the same as before. There's nothing wrong with his body. He's just lost in his own world, not responding to the outside world."
Si Yin's eyes darkened.
The doctor sighed and said, "No one else will be coming to the terrace at this time, so I'll leave it to you."
As he walked towards the door, he greeted Zhu Xiyuan and patted Zhu Fu's little head. "This is your young master, right? It's the first time I've seen him. He's so cute and looks a lot like you."
The kitten didn't like being touched by strangers, and he instinctively wanted to show his teeth. However, considering that the doctor was not a threat to him and his fathers were still around, he couldn't let his character fall apart, so he held back.
After the doctors and nurses left, they were the only ones left on the terrace.
Fu Fu leaned in Zhu Xiyuan's arms, watching his father step forward, and called out very carefully: "...Mom."
The old man didn't react at all, the sound of the piano never stopped for a second, it was smooth and beautiful, the fingering was complex, and he seemed to be a very experienced performer.
Si Yin suppressed all the hostility of the cheetah companion spirit and tried his best to appear gentle and harmless enough, approaching from the direction where the old woman could see him out of the corner of her eye so as not to scare her.
His voice was also very soft: "I brought Xiaoxi to see you."
Fu Fu knew that his mother hated this name, and she looked up.
Zhu Xiyuan not only did not seem impatient, but his eyes were somewhat sad.
It seems that my previous judgment was wrong. The reason why the fathers felt heavy-hearted when seeing this old lady was not because she was not good to them. It was probably the opposite. She had been very good to them in the past, but now her illness had hindered the communication of family affection.
Fu Fu had no knowledge of music and could not tell what song the pianist was playing. She just felt that the melody was not sad, but rather light and warm.
To be honest, it's a bit like coaxing a child to sleep.
What he didn't know was that in the past five years, although Si Yin and Zhu Xiyuan had not returned to their home planet in the Alpha Quadrant in person, they would communicate with Si Qin from time to time using holographic projection, and the staff here were very familiar with them.
Unfortunately, no matter what method they used, Siqin never responded to them.
She has her own world. Nothing outside can come in, and she doesn't want to go out.
She was indeed a very elegant and charming lady. Her age did not diminish her charm, but instead added a unique grace that only time could bring to her.
Fu Fu had many questions, such as what disease she had and what caused her condition to be so serious.
For example, when I heard Zhu Shaoquan say in Leiden Song that Si Yin was the "bastard" of the Si family, it meant that Si Yin was not a formally legitimate child. Then who was Si Yin's father and where was he?
It's really frustrating that I have so many questions but can't ask them.
It was windy on the terrace facing the sea, so the child felt a little cold and hid in his father's coat.
He showed his creamy yellow cat ears, which looked like two small pieces of bread.
A seagull that had been circling in the sky for a long time suddenly swooped down and took a bite of the sweet and delicious bread.
