Chu Anqing paused.
She rubbed her hands around the beverage cup, murmuring softly:
“For this mission where we boarded the Skyspace Aircraft to capture Space-Ti Particles in space.
...
Even if I don’t understand much about it, I can tell it’s not an easy task.
You and Teacher Liu Feng have compelling reasons; you both want Space-Ti Particles; Senior Gao Yang and I are your friends, and of course, we would co to help you because of our relationship.
But what about Elder Sister Huang Que?”
Chu Anqing looked up, blinking her eyes, as if soul-searchingly gazing at Lin Xian:
“Elder Sister Huang Que doesn’t want Space-Ti Particles…
so what reason does she have to help you so wholeheartedly?]
…
In an instant.
Lin Xian was stunned.
He had never thought about this question!
All this ti, he never truly appreciated Huang Que, instead always complaining that she was an enigma.
He had also never thought about this question.
Because…
It was always Huang Que “leading” him.
Huang Que would pave each step for him, remind him of Catch If You Can, warn him to watch out for Zheng Chenghe, tell him that what he wanted was in the Mirror, sorted out the Skyspace Aircraft for him in advance, waited for him at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and even made a special trip to Mi Country to save Chu Anqing who was there to cheer on-site.
This…
From this angle.
Huang Que was simply spoiling him too much, much like a mother dotes on her son…
Although it might be an exaggeration to say so, Huang Que indeed did that, thoughtfully guiding him at every step.
So much so that.
For so long.
He had taken it for granted, as if it should naturally be this way.
But Huang Que didn’t owe him anything.
“…”
Lin Xian fell silent.
He shifted his sitting position.
He thought over the question again.
Yet, he still couldn’t find a reasonable answer.
Chu Anqing was right.
Huang Que wasn’t targeted by the Seven Sins, nor was she locked onto by Kevin Walker, and she didn’t need the Space-Ti Particle…
so why was she playing house so diligently with him, what was her goal?
Beep beep!
Lin Xian’s watch made a soft sound.
He looked at his wrist, it was a reminder he had set; the ti was already 10:30 PM.
“It’s ti to go back.”
Lin Xian turned his wrist, showing Chu Anqing the ti:
“It’s ti.”
“Eh~~ so soon!” Chu Anqing seed not to have had enough:
“Geez, Elder Sister Huang Que, too, why doesn’t she let us stay out to ring in the New Year and do the countdown before heading back.”
“Maybe it’s for safety reasons,” he suggested.
Lin Xian stood up, pointing outside:
“Let’s go, the car that brought us is waiting outside.”
…
An hour later.
This black sedan with a white license plate entered the Astronaut Secret Training Base, which had no doorplates hanging and wasn’t even marked on any map.
After parking, Lin Xian and Chu Anqing got out.
They found that, as always, Huang Que stood imposingly at the entrance steps of the lobby, arms crossed, watching them:
“Anqing, your father sent so things to the Space Agency for you.
Since this mission is top secret, we couldn’t tell him you’re here, so a colleague sent them from the Space Agency.
They’re at your dormitory door.”
“Wow, what is it?”
Chu Anqing was delighted to receive a gift from her family at the last mont of New Year’s Eve, right at the turn of the old and new year.
She was quite eager.
She waved to Lin Xian:
“Then, Senior Lin Xian, I’m heading back first!
I’ll see what my father sent …
If there’s sothing tasty, I’ll share so with everyone later!”
After speaking, she bounded away.
The black sedan with the white license plate also turned and left.
In this vast courtyard of the base, only Lin Xian and Huang Que remained.
If it had been earlier…
Lin Xian might have chided Huang Que a bit, whether it was about the curfew or her being an enigma.
But now.
After hearing Chu Anqing’s words.
He didn’t know what to say to Huang Que.
“Heh heh.”
Huang Que still smiled in that proud and confident way, glancing at her watch:
February 9, 2024, 23:59:34
“You really have a knack for timing,” she said.
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“The roads were too congested, I really did take your advice and got on the car at 10:30.
But co on…
we’re not kids, what does it matter if we’re late?
With with Chu Anqing, nothing can go wrong.”
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
…
In the distant sky.
Fireworks densely packed.
Welcoming the New Year and bidding farewell to the old one.
In the sound of the wind, one could also hear the boisterous sound of firecrackers in the distance.
It seed.
That the new year had arrived.
Ding Dong!
Right at the first second of the Lunar New Year, a WeChat notification popped up on Lin Xian’s phone.
He picked up the screen and saw it was a WeChat ssage from Zhao Yingjun.
He tapped the screen to see what the ssage was.
“Lin Xian.”
The voice of Huang Que ca from ahead.
Lin Xian looked up.
At the sa ti, the chat page with Zhao Yingjun on WeChat popped open, and Huang Que’s voice also ca synchronously—
[Happy New Year.] “Happy New Year.”
It was as if watching a movie, Lin Xian heard the voice and saw the subtitles simultaneously.
At this mont, he received the sa New Year greetings from two won.
He nodded.
Looking at Huang Que:
“Thank you, and I wish you…
a Happy New Year too!”
Huang Que tilted her head and smiled.
Hands in her coat pockets, she turned straight around and, with the click-clack-click-clack of her high heels on the floor, walked into the lobby.
“Is that it…”
Lin Xian chuckled lightly and typed a reply on his phone to Zhao Yingjun:
“Thank you, and I wish you…
a Happy New Year too!”
…
Back at the dorm.
Spending a whole day shopping with Chu Anqing was truly exhausting.
It felt even more tiring than the daily training.
After washing up, he lay on the bed and checked the ti.
00:27
“Let’s sleep.”
Exhausted.
He pulled the covers over himself and almost instantly fell asleep; Lin Xian entered dreamland.
…
…
Whoo…
The dry and scorching sumr wind brushed against his face.
Before he went to sleep, he had felt a chill, but now, entering his dream, he was directly back in the hot sumr of late August—an experience of both ice and fire.
He opened his eyes.
In front of him, were still the dozens of ard soldiers tightly surrounding him.
Sa as the script of the hundreds of tis before.
The man dressed as the captain ca forward, throwing out an electronic arrest warrant:
“Lin Xian!
You are now being lawfully arrested on the charges of cris against humanity, endangering Earth, and disrupting the space-ti continuum!”
Heh.
Lin Xian smiled indifferently, looking up at the sky—
Suddenly!
He widened his eyes!
Before him, the once countless tis quiet sky!
At this very mont!
Was dotted with more than a dozen huge zeppelin airships!
Each one enormously large!
Slowly flying!
Brilliantly lit!
Hovering over the city, they looked like an invading fleet!
Printed in the largest font on each of these vast zeppelin airships were the sa shining advertisent words—
[The world’s finest Ti Capsule!
Celebrating Tem Bank’s 600th Anniversary!]
