Xu Jinxiao put down his bracelet. It was rare for him to stay at home for a day. He thought a lot.
When night came, he finally mustered up the courage to send Shen Ting 'er a message: I really have to go…
Beep.
Shen Ting 'er replied promptly,"When?" There are too many new students recently, so I might not have time to send you off.
Xu Jinxiao didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Shen Ting 'er sent a "?"
"Sigh…" Xu Jinxiao hung up her call, her mind full of thoughts…
He made up his mind and used his authority to send a message to Qiao Shinian.
Qiao Shinian immediately replied,"Sure."”
Then, he told him that since he had made his choice, he would have to set off for the secret base of Uranus at noon that day.
Xu Jinxiao refused. He needed time to say goodbye to his friends…
Qiao Shinian replied,"The morning of the day after tomorrow!"
The day after tomorrow? Only one day left?
Knowing that he was about to leave the Qingming Academy, where he had lived for many years, and head to the vast and boundless universe, his future was uncertain. He was worried, but fortunately, he could still have a gathering with his friends tonight!
He opened Shen Ting 'er's dialog box,[I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. You must come and see me off. Haha.]
What? So soon, when can he come back to take a look?
... It might be very difficult to come back. Xu Jinxiao knew what they were going to face this time. Even the resources consumed from Neptune to Earth were difficult to estimate.
Not to mention that they might have to go to the vast galaxy.
Oh...
Then, neither of them spoke.
After a few minutes of silence, Shen Ting 'er sent a message: I'll send you off the day after tomorrow!
Xu Jinxiao turned off the communicator and tossed and turned on the sofa. His mind was filled with a myriad of emotions. He shook his head and decided to go for a walk at the school where he had stayed for three years.
Looking at the familiar scene, she was speechless…
Yu Man Hua Du Hotel was one of the most luxurious hotels in this area. Even though the population was expanding, it was still located in the prime location of the city center.
The surroundings were very prosperous. From the various high-end vehicles and aircraft entering and leaving the parking lot, one could infer that the main consumers were all expensive!
Although Xu Jinxiao wasn't considered successful in her career, she still had some capital due to the salary and benefits accumulated by the Human Universe Exploration Corporation. After all, how could she retire if the benefits were poor?
In addition, he had always been thrifty, so he felt a little luxurious choosing such a gathering place. It seemed that Chuan Jianguo wanted to rip him off before he left.
The sky gradually darkened. Xu Jinxiao planned to attend the meeting.
Ignoring the noisy teaching building and the noisy field, the freshmen always had endless things to say when they met for the first time. However, she didn't know what to say when they parted ways. It was only when they parted ways that she knew that they needed to cherish each other's friendship. Xu Jinxiao looked at them with envy.
He took a taxi to the Flower of Desire. When he walked out of the parking lot, he quickly saw a few familiar figures. They were all colleagues who had come to attend the gathering.
"Hi, Xu Jinxiao!" The white-haired man noticed him and came over with a smile."You're the boss tonight. You're late.”
The white-haired man's real name was Bai Yi. He was a lecturer in the History Department and called himself the Casanova Bai Juyi. This teacher's facial features were very prominent. He was a handsome guy from Xinjiang and one of Chuan Jianguo's good friends.
The other teachers also gathered around. Although they didn't usually see some of them, they had a good relationship.
"Chuan Jianguo insisted on preparing some 'supplements' for drinking tea at night, so he asked me to receive everyone first.”
"This fellow…" The few of them understood what the tonic was and could not help but laugh."Chuan Jianguo has a silver spear and a wax head. This guy looks good but is useless.”
The few of them chatted and laughed as they entered the Huadu Hotel. The top-notch luxury business conference hall upstairs that could seat three tables was booked by everyone. Chuan Jianguo was going to spend a lot of money before Xu Jinxiao left.
Almost all the teachers who came to attend the gathering had arrived.
As soon as he entered, there was a festive banner congratulating Xu Jinxiao on her promotion. It was extremely eye-catching. Someone even used a flower salute to make him smile bitterly. How was this a casual banquet? Was he that happy that he left?
The arrival of the main character immediately made the atmosphere lively. Several male and female teachers who were usually having fun came over. It felt great to be able to gather together.
As time passed, the scenes of the previous gatherings overlapped!
Shen Ting 'er was chatting with a few female teachers, some of whom were mothers. Tonight, Shen Ting' er was exceptionally beautiful, wrapped in a light pink dress, revealing her elegant neck and clearly visible collarbone. The pleats of the dress were like the moonlight flowing on the ground. Lolita Shen rarely dressed herself up so delicately.
Xu Jinxiao stepped forward to greet them, and the atmosphere slowly became more connected.
Colleagues usually talked about their ideals and aspirations together, but in their ordinary lives, they clearly realized that they were all ordinary people. However, some people always left some traces when they appeared beside others.
"Xu Jinxiao, why are you so late? Tonight, I must get you drunk. I'll punish you with three glasses first.”
"Three glasses is too little. Loli Shen, you know that Xu Jinxiao's alcohol tolerance is too low.”Department Director Zhou also interrupted at the right time.
Xu Jinxiao hugged a few male colleagues." Tonight, I'll take turns to put you down. Let me do it with the little beauties first." One cup!"
Xu Jinxiao emphasized a certain word, dragging out a slanted tone that made the little girls embarrassed and angry.
"You just arrived and you're already taking advantage of us?" Several female teachers were united against the outside world. Shen Ting 'er came over and gave him a slap, and the atmosphere became a little more lively.
"Brother, you're the one who's so boring. I can't catch up to you.”Chuan Jianguo had also arrived. He was wearing his gym clothes, revealing his muscles.
"Brother, I brought some good stuff over tonight.”Chuan Jianguo whispered to Xu Jinxiao about some Indian specialty.
"What good stuff? Can't we share it together?" Department Director Zhou stuck his head out.
"Angelica, Old Zhou, you need to nourish yourself. How old are you?”Chuan Jianguo winked at them. They had a good relationship in private.
"I'm already middle-aged and have no choice. This morning, Xiao Xu even recommended the Moon Red Wolfberry to me.”
"Wolfberry can't resist the urge of time. Add some Angelica to your cup.”Xu Jinxiao continued.
"Angelica is hard to nourish the body, but deer antler and kidney are good for the waist!”The other male teachers also joked.
"Give Director Zhou some more Dazzling Gum! He couldn't stop at all. Haha." There was actually a female teacher who also opened her mouth to interject with such dirty words, causing everyone to laugh.
Then, the men and women split into two tables and started chatting.
Shen Ting 'er and the other teachers talked about branded clothes, the current financial industry, and the various idol gossip that was circulating among the students. It seemed that there were endless topics between women.
On the other hand, the men talked about the latest technology and how many tall and beautiful female students had arrived today. It was as if a pack of lone wolves were howling wretchedly.
Twenty minutes later, all the teachers who had come to attend the gathering had arrived. There were still a few who had to stay behind at the school and could not make it.
Chuan Jianguo, who organized the gathering, and several teachers gave speeches one after another to congratulate Xu Jinxiao on her promotion. The atmosphere at the promotion cake ceremony was very lively. Even Shen Ting 'er and several female teachers drank a lot.
After that, everyone split into a few small circles and chatted freely. After some communication, everyone toasted each other. Perhaps because of the alcohol, everyone was very open. Some people talked about their ambitions when they were young again. Some were proud and some were disappointed. After entering society for many years, many people had different mental states!
A teacher suggested playing a game called Truth or Dare.
Immediately, other teachers expressed their rejection and said that they would change it to a truth for everyone.
All of a sudden, the crowd was filled with ambition as they continued to drink. Most of them expressed that they had great ambitions, but unfortunately, they were forced by the pressure of all aspects of life. They could only stay in the small Qing Ming Academy and look up at the vast starry sky coast from afar.
Someone joked," You know that you're lazy in your studies, but you're still unwilling to study hard. Would you rather suffer the hardships of life than the hardships of learning?”
A teacher retorted," The pain of learning is to take the initiative to take it. Life will make them suffer passively. I like to be passive, haha.”
More and more people ended this topic and clamored about their ideals or aspirations.
The man spoke first, and soon it was Xu Jinxiao's turn.
Everyone teased him about whether there was anything he wanted to say but didn't say, or if there was someone who wanted to confess but didn't say it out loud.
Xu Jinxiao also blushed a little. She didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or because she was really embarrassed.
As the crowd booed, Xu Jinxiao laughed and stole a glance at someone from the corner of her eye. Coincidentally, Shen Ting 'er's gaze also fell on him. Xu Jinxiao scratched her head awkwardly and changed the topic."When I was young, I once read the book Dreaming of the Starry Sky. I wanted to go to outer space. The universe is so big, I want to go and take a look. As you all know, I originally wanted to go to Saturn, which is closer to the edge of the solar system. There, I can see and interact with the Milky Way more directly.”
Xu Jinxiao used to be more introverted and felt that his life was a failure. He had always wanted to change himself.
However, it was very difficult for a person to change their personality. Only by constantly coming into contact with new environments, through the internal or external environment, could one really change a person.
He was also very glad that although he did not go to Enceladus, he had made a friend who shared the same goals and could confide in him.
Chief Physician Zhou also volunteered to pick up the microphone."My dream in the past was very simple. It was nothing more than a chicken every three days and a lamb every five days. I would have intestines for every meal. I would be a groom every night and change brides every day. I would stand at the entrance of the village and look out. There would be mothers-in-law in every village.”
It caused a burst of laughter.
