Chu Anqing paused.
She rubbed her hands around the beverage cup, murmuring softly:
âFor this mission where we boarded the Skyspace Aircraft to capture Space-Time Particles in space.
Even if I donât understand much about it, I can tell itâs not an easy task.
You and Teacher Liu Feng have pelling reasons; you both want Space-Time Particles; Senior Gao Yang and I are your friends, and of course, we would e to help you because of our relationship.
But what about Elder Sister Huang Que?â
Chu Anqing looked up, blinking her eyes, as if soul-searchingly gazing at Lin Xian:
âElder Sister Huang Que doesnât want Space-Time ParticlesâŚ
so what reason does she have to help you so wholeheartedly?]
âŚ
In an instant.
Lin Xian was stunned.
He had never thought about this question!
All this time, he never truly appreciated Huang Que, instead always plaining that she was an enigma.
He had also never thought about this question.
BecauseâŚ
It was always Huang Que âleadingâ him.
Huang Que would pave each step for him, remind him of Catch Me 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.
ThisâŚ
From this angle.
Huang Que was simply spoiling him too much, much like a mother dotes on her sonâŚ
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 didnât owe him anything.
ââŚâ
Lin Xian fell silent.
He shifted his sitting position.
He thought over the question again.
Yet, he still couldnât find a reasonable answer.
Chu Anqing was right.
Huang Que wasnât targeted by the Seven Sins, nor was she locked onto by Kevin Walker, and she didnât need the Space-Time ParticleâŚ
so why was she playing house so diligently with him, what was her goal?
Beep beep!
Lin Xianâs watch made a soft sound.
He looked at his wrist, it was a reminder he had set; the time was already 10:30 PM.
âItâs time to go back.â
Lin Xian turned his wrist, showing Chu Anqing the time:
âItâs time.â
âEh~~ so soon!â Chu Anqing seemed not to have had enough:
âGeez, Elder Sister Huang Que, too, why doesnât she let us stay out to ring in the New Year and do the countdown before heading back.â
âMaybe itâs for safety reasons,â he suggested.
Lin Xian stood up, pointing outside:
âLetâs go, the car that brought us is waiting outside.â
âŚ
An hour later.
This black sedan with a white license plate entered the Astronaut Secret Training Base, which had no doorplates hanging and wasnât 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:
âAnqing, your father sent some things to the Space Agency for you.
Since this mission is top secret, we couldnât tell him youâre here, so a colleague sent them from the Space Agency.
Theyâre at your dormitory door.â
âWow, what is it?â
Chu Anqing was delighted to receive a gift from her family at the last moment of New Yearâs Eve, right at the turn of the old and new year.
She was quite eager.
She waved to Lin Xian:
âThen, Senior Lin Xian, Iâm heading back first!
Iâll see what my father sent meâŚ
If thereâs something tasty, Iâll share some with everyone later!â
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 earlierâŚ
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 Anqingâs words.
He didnât know what to say to Huang Que.
âHeh heh.â
Huang Que still smiled in that proud and confident way, glancing at her watch:
February 9, 2024, 23:59:34
âYou really have a knack for timing,â she said.
Lin Xian spread his hands:
âThe roads were too congested, I really did take your advice and got on the car at 10:30.
But e onâŚ
weâre not kids, what does it matter if weâre late?
With me with Chu Anqing, nothing can go wrong.â
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
âŚ
In the distant sky.
Fireworks densely packed.
Weling 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 seemed.
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 Xianâs phone.
He picked up the screen and saw it was a WeChat message from Zhao Yingjun.
He tapped the screen to see what the message was.
âLin Xian.â
The voice of Huang Que came from ahead.
Lin Xian looked up.
At the sameĂ time, the chat page with Zhao Yingjun on WeChat popped open, and Huang Queâs voice also came synchronouslyââŹâ
[Happy New Year.] âHappy New Year.â
It was as if watching a movie, Lin Xian heard the voice and saw the subtitles simultaneously.
At this moment, he received the same New Year greetings from two women.
He nodded.
Looking at Huang Que:
âThank you, and I wish youâŚ
a Happy New Year too!â
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.
âIs that itâŚâ
Lin Xian chuckled lightly and typed a reply on his phone to Zhao Yingjun:
âThank you, and I wish youâŚ
a Happy New Year too!â
âŚ
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 time.
00:27
âLetâs sleep.â
Exhausted.
He pulled the covers over himself and almost instantly fell asleep; Lin Xian entered dreamland.
âŚ
âŚ
WhooâŚ
The dry and scorching summer 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 summer of late AugustââŹâan experience of both ice and fire.
He opened his eyes.
In front of him, were still the dozens of armed soldiers tightly surrounding him.
Same as the script of the hundreds of times before.
The man dressed as the captain came forward, throwing out an electronic arrest warrant:
âLin Xian!
You are now being lawfully arrested on the charges of crimes against humanity, endangering Earth, and disrupting the space-time continuum!â
Heh.
Lin Xian smiled indifferently, looking up at the skyââŹâ
Suddenly!
He widened his eyes!
Before him, the once countless times quiet sky!
At this very moment!
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 same shining advertisement wordsââŹâ
