Star Rail Simulation, but surrounded by characters.

"It's a pity that research on interstellar aviation has stagnated for a long time. Maybe if we work hard, we can achieve this goal in the next few generations..."

Su Qing was listening, and Ji Zi's dream coincided with his.

Learning and scientific research are not as exciting as hunting demons.

But looking at the increasing progress in [Academic Deduction] and experiencing the new knowledge he was constantly acquiring, Su Qing was still addicted to it.

[Star: Su Qing: Academic, cool! 】

[Xie'er: If I could see the progress all the time, I would definitely fall in love with learning. 】

[Bronya originally wanted to make a joke, but she thought of Su Shang and Gui Naifen, so she changed her tune. 】

[Bronya: @西儿, come on! I believe that through hard work, you will be able to master knowledge! 】

[Xier:? ? ? 】

[Xie'er: @Bronya, are you sick? Do you want Natasha to show it to you? ? 】

[Bronya:...Can’t I even encourage you? 】

[Xie'er: It's so awkward, I even get goosebumps! 】

[Bronya: ...speechless. 】

[Star: Happy. 】

[Qingque: Happy. 】

[Black Swan: Different ways of getting along, don’t just apply them mechanically~]

The goal this time is to solve the mystery of the stagnation of interstellar aviation on Planet Aqua.

Su Qing didn't think that he could surpass the researchers of the past few decades on his own.

But if we can work with like-minded people like Ji Zi, we can make some contributions to this and promote its development.

Even if I haven't wasted my life and wasted this simulation opportunity.

[Black Tower: Good awareness, plus five points. 】

The two chatted in the suspended corridor.

The campus is very quiet and the stars in the sky are bright. Occasionally one or two students passed by downstairs, and a few lights were on in the teaching or laboratory buildings in the distance.

Su Qing and Ji Zi talked about their studies and the starry sky, things that were near or far. The conversation was aimless, just enjoying the time to relax.

Himeko looked to the right.

Su Qing next to her was talented but very humble. He has a gentle temperament and makes people feel comfortable listening to him speak.

In addition, there is an increasing concern in my heart.

Even though she yearned for the universe, Ji Zi's eyes couldn't help but temporarily fall on Su Qing from the starry sky.

Ji Zi looked at Su Qing. She held the coffee, blew the hot air and took a sip. The mellow taste warms the body as it enters the mouth.

This was one of those moments.

[Even Himeko, who was watching the live broadcast, thinks about it now. 】

[At that time, her incomparable yearning for the starry sky, her faint affection for the person next to her, and the mellow taste of coffee all made her miss her so much. 】

After resting for a while, the two returned to the study room and studied for a while before leaving.

It was almost twelve o'clock, so Su Qing sent Ji Zi back to the dormitory first.

Neither of them spoke much on the road, enjoying the silence of the night.

Of course, the daily routine of college students is as unpredictable as the weather in June. Occasionally, I still see a few students passing by, talking a little lively.

Su Qing sent Ji Zi downstairs and the two said goodbye.

Ji Zi waved gently and saw Su Qing leaving, watching his back gradually disappear into the night.

When Su Qing was out of sight, Ji Zi flipped her hair and turned to go upstairs.

This is one of the few moments that remains in my memory.

Because I was preparing for the project, this kind of thing happened often, so this impression was even more profound.

Morning.

There was no class this morning. After reading a book in the dormitory for a while, Jizi planned to go to the library.

As she passed by the playground, she heard the bell ringing. It must have been after the first period.

Jizi's eyes naturally swept across the playground.

And very quickly, somewhat unexpectedly, he caught the running figure slightly far away.

It's Su Qing.

Outside the playground, Jizi held the book and just looked outside the playground fence for a while.

It wasn't until the school bell rang again that she suddenly came back to her senses.

Why have you been in a daze for so long...

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Zi glanced at the playground again, and Su Qing's running appearance came into her eyes. Then she quickened her pace and went to the library.

·

·

It's this growing attention and some impressive moments.

Even if Jizi didn't notice it, this subtle thought would continue to accumulate in her heart over time.

Maybe she'll find out on her own when she can no longer ignore it.

Or maybe there will be an opportunity that makes her suddenly realize...

·

On this day, there were classes in the first and second periods in the afternoon, and it started to rain lightly during class.

After class, Jizi planned to go back to the dormitory first.

Since she didn't bring an umbrella and the rain was starting to stop, Jizi waited for a while at the door.

A voice came from the side: "Want to go to the library?"

When Ji Zi saw it was Su Qing, she smiled: "Yeah, but I'll go back to the dormitory first."

The two stood at the door of the teaching building, waiting for the rain to stop.

Ji Zi turned her head slightly and glanced at Su Qing's schoolbag: "That pendant..."

"Oh, this?"

Su Qing took off the pendant and held it in his hand. It's normal for Himeko to be curious about this souvenir of a star and an astronaut.

He thought for a while: "This is a souvenir given to me by someone a long time ago. It may be difficult to buy the same model now."

Jizi nodded slightly.

It happened six or seven years ago, and my memory is already blurry.

If she hadn't seen the words "XXX, Summer Science and Technology Exhibition" written on the back of the pendant, she might not have recognized it.

Somehow.

Jizi suddenly had an impulse and said, "This souvenir is very important to you... I mean, is it expensive?"

This question was very abrupt, so she tried to save it in the second half of the sentence.

Su Qing quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, just a worthless gadget."

[March 7: Ah——ah! (sigh)】

[Liu Ying: Ah——ah! (?)]

Ji Zi lowered her head: "That's right..."

How many valuable things could you give as a child?

Using all the pocket money I had to buy a souvenir and give it to him was the greatest gratitude I could express at that time.

Su Qing recalled this question: "It was really a long time ago."

His expression was slightly troubled: "I can't even remember whether the person who gave me a souvenir was a man or a woman."

"But when he helped me introduce the exhibits, especially when he introduced some knowledge about the universe, I was still impressed by the look on his face."

Su Qing looked at the pendant in her hand and said with a smile: "It's amazing, isn't it? You have even forgotten your appearance and gender, but you still remember these details."

Ji Zi raised her head slightly and looked at him: "No, I also... I also have some memories, only certain details."

What impressed Ji Zi the most was actually the part of the road where Su Qing carried her on his back and left the forest.

After returning to the science exhibition, were you energetic enough to help Su Qing introduce the exhibits?

It was obvious that he had just experienced a fright, and his feet were obviously sprained...

Ji Zi suddenly realized.

After listening to Su Qing's words, she remembered that she had been full of yearning for the starry sky when she was so young, and she would introduce it to others with interest, regardless of pain or shock.

Su Qing continued: "Although this souvenir is not valuable, I always carry it with me."

He raised the pendant and looked at this faded souvenir against the background of the sky where the rain had gradually stopped.

Su Qing: "At that time, looking at the other party's cheerful look, I couldn't help but feel some kind of yearning."

"What is the charm of the universe that makes him so curious and longing for? What kind of secrets are hidden in the starry sky that makes him show such enthusiasm and focus on talking about it?"

Su Qing shook the pendant: "This may not be the decisive factor in choosing my current major, but it does affect me."

"Looking back now, I really have no regrets. The charm of the starry sky is indeed so attractive, enough to make him so focused and so energetic."

Su Qing hung the pendant back up, looked at Ji Zi who was stunned for some reason, and made a joke: "So although this pendant is not valuable, it is still very important to me. If you want to buy it, I won't sell it." Oh.”

Himeko looked at him.

I feel my heartbeat speeding up.

[The heartbeats of the audience also rose and fell. 】

[Xier: Huh? 】

[March 7: Huh? ? 】

[Liu Ying: Huh? ? ? 】

[March 7: I thought... I thought he was going to overturn again! 】

[Silver Wolf: Show. 】

[Yinlang: Liuying opened the champagne too early. 】

【Liuying:?】

【Kafka:?】

[Xing: Su Qing's operation is like a ghost, and it's completely unpredictable. 】

[Xing: Whenever he thinks he is stable, he will always overturn to show you. Every time you think he has rolled over, he will make a 180-degree turn for you. 】

[March 7: That’s right! Take notes. If it’s so good, I’ll take notes and write it down! 】

[Liu Ying: @月七, so, will love disappear? At that time, you obviously only remembered what Su Qing said to me. ?]

[March 7: Huh? (while secretly taking notes) Of course, (taking notes), of course it won’t disappear! (Then secretly taking notes) Don’t worry! 】

Hearing that Su Qing valued the pendant, he looked at Su Qing carefully and tied the pendant back again.

Ji Zi suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Her heartbeat began to accelerate, one beat, two beats...

This was completely different from the feeling I had at that time when I saw the scrawled words and complimented her on her beauty.
