[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper Chapter 256 - 254: A Choice

Chapter 254: A Choice

"I’m sorry." This was the first word that Qin An told Nan Moyi after what happened.

Earlier after that sort of questioning, Qin An asked Director Qian to call He Li’s headquarters for an ergency. It was when they ca and finally told the truth that Qin An also explained the peculiarity of Nan Xing’s identity.

In the end, He Li decided to bring Nan Xing and others to the private laboratory for further investigation and inquired about the ginkgo tree while he and Nan Moyi went back inside the training camp. He pulled the dazed Nan Moyi to a private corner and there they sat quietly for so minutes before Qin An broke the ice and apologized sincerely.

Nan Moyi didn’t know what to say. Honestly he was still flabbergasted about the absurd information that lay to him. He didn’t know what to react, to say or even how to process the truth about his sister’s dream about that ginkgo tree.

All along they thought it was rely a child’s imaginary friend. They knew that Nan Xing is too timid to et friends and thus as she told them about that tree, they just subconsciously thought that it was just a coping chanism for her so she won’t feel lonely. Aside from this, who hasn’t had that kind of experience since childhood? They thought it would only pass naturally as she grew.

Who knows how big the truth is?

A saint? A ginkgo tree that can provide a strange spiritual energy that could help the world for the ntal pollution that has always plagued them? How bizarre that can be? He even thought that this was only a big prank from the team but when Marshal He Li himself ca with so legendary professors, he knew this was the truth all along.

Nan Xing has such a special identity that awaits her.

"I don’t want to tell you this." Qin An decides to continue after sensing his silence. "I just thought after finding the truth, how can she handle this? Knowing Xiaoxing, I wouldn’t be surprised if she can calmly accept this matter faster than anyone else. She’s really a child with a pure heart."

Qin An raises his hand slightly and stares at his palm. "I couldn’t imagine her sacrificing the ti she has in her life living as a saint who has bigger responsibility. But after hearing her earlier, I realized that she’s stronger than I thought."

He realizes that it was not his turn to decide sothing for anyone else. Xiaoxing’s path is not his right to put on his palm.

Nan Moyi listened to the young man’s voice and Nan Xing’s smile and excitent flashed in his mind. She didn’t even think of hesitating for a second.

He knew her of course. After knowing that the only ’friend’ she had exists, she wouldn’t hesitate. And an older brother, he wanted to put her to a safe life.

But being in a military family, he also knew that putting her in a safe place doesn’t an that she can live well. Especially knowing that she has the ability to help other people. Just like how their parents did, to be a soldier with a heart.

He couldn’t bear to reject her own decisions. Nan Xing has a free will to decide what path she wants to take and all he has to do is to be her support.

While they were waiting for He Li’s headquarters news, the two day rest also passed and now it was ti for the next round of elimination.

The remaining 20 trainees lined up horizontally on the stage and they all nervously faced the ntors in front of them. Behind are the ten seats that represent each trainee that will survive this round. Which ans half of them will say goodbye and leave right away.

"Good day everyone! The long wait has been over!" Jiang Su talked as the host again this ti. A flash of seconds remained floating in the air.

"5,4,3... 2, 1! Ti’s up!" The ti flashed red after it reached zero. "The voting for the last ten trainees remaining is now over!"

Jiang Su looked at the nervous trainees with a smile. "Trainees, I hope that whatever results that will co out today will serve as a lesson and a motivation for you to work harder. Not only because you are safe or not. Now let announce the top 20 to the top 15 that will be eliminated for today..."

Soon five nas that were listed from the bottoms were read and those who heard their na broke down in tears.

The five trainees tremblingly stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"A-Ahm..." A trainee who got in the top 20 felt an imnse bitterness in his mouth. His heart felt torn into pieces as they were sliced by the sharp knives of truth that he’s now eliminated and even on the lowest rank.

"T-Thank you, ntors for the guidance all throughout this journey. I’ve been truly blessed to be on this stage for a long ti period. To my fellow trainees..." he looked at the young n around him and rembered the shared mories they had together.

It seems that not only the path to be an idol would co and end but also the friendship he built indie the competition. Because he didn’t know if they could et again in the future.

Just how big the world is outside, this may even be the last ti he could see them, especially the trainees on upper ranks.

He was once on a team with Shen Lou in the first round. He witnessed the growth of that young man to beco a true capable leader that no one could not ask for. He also learned many from them and was able to stay until this point.

Was it because he was not enough?

Honestly he felt aggrieved and sad at this mont. He didn’t know what to exactly feel. Yet as he looked at the trainees remaining behind him, he realized that it was not because he was not enough.

Rather, it’s because most of them had already looked fitted towards each other as a group. Isn’t that what this competition also ans? To build a group with the mbers connecting each other. He made friends but he felt it was not actually enough.

Maybe they are really not fated to be inside a this upcoming group.
