Star Rail Simulation, but surrounded by characters

"Unfortunately, research on interstellar aviation has been stagnant for a long time. Perhaps if we continue to work hard, it will take several generations to achieve this goal..."

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

Studying and scientific research, although not as exciting and intense as hunting demons.

But watching the ever-increasing progress in [Academic Deduction] and experiencing the new knowledge that is constantly being acquired, Su Qing is still addicted to it.

[Xing: Su Qing: Academics, cool! ]

[Xier: If I could always see my progress, I would surely fall in love with learning. ]

[Bronya wanted to make some jokes, but she thought of Su Chang and Gui Naifen, so she changed her words.]

[Bronya: @希儿, keep going! I believe that you can master the knowledge through hard work! ]

【Xi’er: ???】

[Seele: @Bronya, are you sick? Do you want Natasha to see you? ? ]

[Bronya: ...Is it not okay to encourage you? ]

[Xi'er: It's so awkward. I even have goose bumps! ]

[Bronya: ...Speechless.]

【Star: music.】

【Bluebird: Happy.】

[Black Swan: Different ways of getting along with each other cannot be applied mechanically~]

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

Su Qing didn't think that he could surpass the researchers of the past few decades by himself.

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

It means that I have not wasted my life and this simulation opportunity.

[Black Tower: Good awareness, five points added.]

The two chatted in the suspended corridor.

The campus was very quiet, the stars in the sky were shining, one or two students occasionally walked downstairs, and there were still a few lights on in the teaching buildings or laboratory buildings in the distance.

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

Himeko looked to the right.

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

In addition, there is a growing concern in my heart.

Even though she was yearning for the universe, Ji Zi's gaze couldn't help but temporarily shift from the starry sky to Su Qing.

Ji Zi looked at Su Qing, she held the coffee, blew away the steam, and took a sip. The mellow taste warmed her body.

This is one of those moments.

[Even Ji Zi, who was watching the live broadcast, recalled it now. 】

[At that time, she missed the endless yearning for the starry sky, the faint affection for the person next to her, and the mellow taste of coffee. ]

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, and Su Qing first sent Ji Zi back to the dormitory.

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

Of course, the daily routine of college students is as unpredictable as the weather in June. Occasionally, you can still see a few students passing by, chatting and making the place lively.

Su Qing sent Ji Zi downstairs and they said goodbye.

Ji Zi waved gently, watched Su Qing leave, and watched his back gradually disappear into the night.

When Su Qing was no longer in sight, Ji Zi lifted her hair and turned to go upstairs.

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

Such things often happen when preparing for the project, so the impression is even more profound.

morning.

There are no classes this morning, so after reading for a while in the dormitory, Ji Zi plans to go to the library.

As she passed the playground, she heard a bell, probably because the first class had just ended.

Ji Zi's eyes naturally swept across the playground.

And very quickly and somewhat unexpectedly, he captured the figure running a little further away.

It's Su Qing.

Outside the playground, Ji Zi held a book and read it outside the playground fence for a while.

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

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

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

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

·

·

It's this increasing attention and some impressive moments.

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

Maybe she will realize it herself when it becomes impossible to ignore it anymore.

Or maybe some opportunity would make her suddenly realize...

That day, there were classes in the first and second periods in the afternoon, and it started to drizzle during the class.

After class, Ji Zi planned to go back to the dormitory first.

Because she didn't bring an umbrella and the rain was about to stop, Ji Zi waited at the door for a while.

A voice came from the side: "Going to the library?"

Seeing that it was Su Qing, Ji Zi smiled and said, "Yes, but I have to go back to the dormitory first."

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

Ji Zi tilted 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 was normal for Ji Zi to be curious about this souvenir of a star and an astronaut.

He thought for a moment and said, "This is a souvenir someone gave me a long time ago. It may be difficult to buy the same one now."

Jizi nodded slightly.

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

If she hadn't seen the words "Summer Science and Technology Exhibition, 20xx" written on the back of the pendant, she might not have recognized it.

Somehow.

Ji Zi suddenly had an impulse, and she said: "This souvenir is very important to you... I mean, is it very valuable?"

This question was very abrupt, and she tried to redeem herself with the second half of her sentence.

Su Qing quickly shook his head: "Nothing, just a worthless little thing."

[March 7: Ah——ah! (Sigh)]

[Firefly: Ah——ah! (?)]

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

How valuable a gift could be when you were a kid?

Using all my pocket money to buy him a souvenir was the greatest way I could express my gratitude at that time.

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

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

"But I still remember the look on his face when he introduced the exhibits to me, especially some knowledge about the universe."

Su Qing looked at the pendant in his hand and smiled, "It's amazing, isn't it? I have forgotten even her appearance and gender, but I still remember these details."

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

What Ji Zi remembers most is actually the time when Su Qing carried her on his back as they left the forest.

After returning to the science exhibition, were you enthusiastic about helping Su Qing introduce the exhibits?

I had just been frightened and I had sprained my ankle...

Ji Zi suddenly realized.

After hearing Su Qing's words, she remembered that when she was so young, she had already been full of yearning for the starry sky, and no matter how painful or frightened she was, she would introduce it to others with great interest.

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

He held up the pendant and looked at the faded souvenir against the backdrop of the sky where the rain was gradually stopping.

Su Qing: "At that time, seeing the other party's cheerful look, I couldn't help but feel a certain yearning."

"What is the charm of the universe that makes him so curious and yearning? What secrets are hidden in the starry sky that makes him look so excited and focused?"

Su Qing shook the pendant: "This may not be the deciding factor in my choice of my current major, but it did affect me."

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

Su Qing put the pendant back on and looked at Ji Zi who was stunned for some reason. He joked, "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 to you."

Jiko looked at him.

I feel my heartbeat speeding up.

[The audience's heartbeats also rose and fell. ]

【Xi’er: Huh?】

【March 7: Huh? ?】

【Firefly: Huh???】

[March 7: I thought...I thought he was going to fail again! ]

【Silver Wolf: Show.】

[Silver Wolf: Firefly opened the champagne too early. ]

【Firefly:?】

【Kafka:?】

[Xing: Su Qing's operation is like a god at one moment and a ghost at another. It is totally unpredictable.]

[Xing: Every time you think he is stable, he will always flip over to show you. Every time you think he has flipped over, he will do a 180-degree turn for you.]

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

[Liuying: @三月七, so, will love disappear? At that time, you only remembered what Su Qing said to me. ?]

【March 7: Huh? (Secretly taking notes) Of course, (taking notes), of course it won’t disappear! (Continues to secretly take notes) Don’t worry! 】

Hearing Su Qing's emphasis on the pendant, he looked at Su Qing carefully and tied the pendant back on.

Ji Zi suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Her heartbeat began to speed up, one beat, two beats...

This is completely different from the feeling I had at that time when I saw the crossed-out words praising her beauty.
