Chapter 272 Hou Ni and Jia Jingyu meet
Elixir of life?
Jiayu was extremely surprised!
Isn’t that the rare medicine that Lin Yuan mentioned?
The elixir of immortality that Lin Yuan had been searching for for so long was actually found by her grandmother?
Jiayu found a place where no one would disturb her and sat down with her grandmother.
She held her grandmother's hand tightly, her eyes full of heartache.
"Grandma, please tell me quickly, what have you experienced in the past few decades since you came to the interstellar space? Why did you have the opportunity to take the elixir of life?"
Hou Ni originally wanted to ask about her granddaughter's situation first. She couldn't wait to know whether Jia Jingyu was still alive, where her daughter was now, how her granddaughter came to the interstellar, etc.
But she held back and didn't ask first, but told Jiayu about her own story first.
"When your grandpa traveled to the interstellar space, he brought two time machines with him. Your grandpa said that only one of the time machines could be used to communicate with the interstellar space. Your grandpa gave me the other broken machine as a decoration."
"When your grandpa left, he didn't know that I was pregnant. But I wanted to tell your grandpa the good news, but I couldn't contact him."
"After ten months of pregnancy, I suddenly had abdominal pain near my home. After giving birth to your mother with difficulty, I completely passed out. When I regained consciousness, I was already in the time machine control center."
"At the time, I was facing such an unfamiliar place, my mind was blank, and that place was very cold, but there was no one inside. It was not until many years later that I found out that it was the time machine control center."
"I was taken out of the control center building and saw that this world was completely different from where we were. I was terrified. I wanted to go back to where I was before, but the people in the building wouldn't let me in."
"When I saw those people wearing suit jackets, I suddenly realized that your grandfather might be from this world."
"Perhaps I was sent to the interstellar space by that faulty machine."
"I wanted to find someone to find out the whereabouts of your grandfather, but we couldn't speak the same language and no one could understand what I was saying."
"I traveled through time after giving birth to your mother. I was already very weak, and it was raining heavily that day. I couldn't stand it and fainted on the side of the road."
"When I woke up, I was lying in a clean place. My clothes had been changed. The woman who saved me was a doctor."
"My benefactor couldn't find out my identity, and she discovered that I couldn't speak the Star Language. She took pity on me, so she took me in, and even helped me get an identity."
"Since then, my benefactor has started to teach me how to read and write, and to understand the language of this world."
"Gradually, through writing, I began to understand the world, and told my benefactor the truth about my origins."
"My benefactor thinks that my time travel is related to the time machine control center. After all, only the people in the control center have mastered the technology of time travel."
"My benefactor was very willing to help me find your grandfather, but he was unlucky and died of illness before he could even start planning for me."
"Since then, I have lived alone. Thanks to my benefactor who helped me get an identity in the interstellar space, otherwise I would have been unable to move forward in this vast world."
"I didn't care about my agelessness at first, until people I often met told me why their appearance hadn't changed at all. Then I realized that things were bad."
"Star people know how to take care of themselves, and they generally live long lives. I've been here forty years. In the first twenty years, my appearance didn't change, so I didn't arouse suspicion from acquaintances. But in the last twenty years, I was worried that I would become the focus, so I moved frequently."
"Until today, I saw you looking for me."
Jiayu said with heartache:
“Grandma, you have suffered a lot over the years.”
Hou Ni shook her head. Although she looked young, her smile was kind:
"It wasn't hard, but I didn't have the chance to repay my lifesaver, which has always been a regret for my grandmother."
"My benefactor suddenly died of illness and didn't even have time to leave any last words. I feel so sorry for him just thinking about it."
Jiayu asked: "Does she have a family?"
Hou Ni shook her head. "No, my benefactor has been an orphan since she was young. She has been alone all her life. She has devoted all her efforts to the field of medicine."
"Then grandma, what's the matter with the elixir of life? You must have taken the elixir of life, which is why your appearance has not changed to this day."
Speaking of the elixir of life, Hou Ni frowned.
"Strangely enough, my appearance has not changed since my benefactor passed away."
Jiayu: "Grandma, please think carefully, is there anything wrong that you missed?"
Hou Ni thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember anything related to the elixir of life.
"I have never been sick in these years and have never taken any pills. As for why my appearance has not changed, I also want to know and have been looking for the reason."
Jiayu lowered his head, thinking about something.
She thought that her grandmother's appearance stopped changing after her benefactor passed away. Perhaps her grandmother's youthful appearance might be related to her benefactor who was a doctor.
Only a medical team can create something like the elixir of life.
It seems that I have to go back to the doctor's house to see if I can find the cause.
"Let's not talk about grandma for now. Child, tell grandma quickly, is your grandpa still... alive?"
When talking about her sweetheart, Hou Ni's eyes turned red.
She has been in the interstellar world for forty years, and for thirty of those years, she has been trying to find out Jia Jingyu's whereabouts.
But there was not a single clue.
Since her benefactor passed away, she wanted to go to the time machine control center to look for someone. Jia Jingyu was the inventor of the time machine, so he must be working at the time machine control center.
But every time she went there, she was stopped outside and couldn't get in at all, and was kicked out several times.
She didn't even have the chance to meet with the senior staff at the control center.
Even when she mentioned to the people at the control center that she had traveled from ancient times, no one believed her. They even treated her like a fool and drove her away. They also warned her that if she came to cause trouble again, she would be sent to jail.
Now that she’s in prison, how can she have the chance to find Jia Jingyu?
Since then, she didn't dare to go near the control center.
I had been thinking of waiting near the control center, maybe one day I could see Jia Jingyu going to work.
However, she waited for a whole year but did not see Jia Jingyu, and finally ended the plan in disappointment.
"Grandma, Grandpa..."
Seeing Jiayu hesitate to speak, Hou Ni's heart immediately twitched and a feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart.
Could it be that Jingyu is no longer alive?
This is impossible. The average life expectancy of people in the interstellar space is 100 years old. Jingyu is only in his sixties now. It is impossible that he has passed away.
Unless you encounter a natural disaster or get a serious illness.
"Your grandpa is no longer alive, right?"
Hou Ni didn't know how she found her voice again, and she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
Jiayu immediately shook his head and explained:
"No, no, grandpa is still alive, it's just..."
My grandfather is now almost an old man in his eighties or nineties, but my grandmother is still young and beautiful.
She didn’t know what grandma would do if she saw grandpa’s current state, so she didn’t dare to take the risk.
Hou Ni smiled happily and asked impatiently:
"Then where is he? Where is your grandpa now?"
Jiayu comforted:
"Grandma, calm down first. I'll take you to see Grandpa now, but... you have to be mentally prepared."
Yes, grandma should be very happy to be able to see grandpa again in her lifetime, she shouldn’t worry so much.
And for my grandfather, if he could see my grandmother again, he would definitely try his best to live.

Interstellar transportation is extremely developed. In just ten minutes, Jiayu brought her grandmother to the hospital where her grandfather was recuperating.
On the way to the ward, Hou Ni felt nervous and excited, yet also uneasy.
This is a hospital. If Jia Jingyu wasn't sick, why would he be here?
I hope it’s not a serious illness.
When he reached the door of the ward, Jiayu stopped.
"Grandma, Grandpa is in there. Please go in and take a look. I will tell you about the rest later."
"it is good."
After responding, Hou Ni faced the door, took a deep breath, and adjusted her state.
After adjusting his state, he held the door handle and gently opened the door...
