Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 751 - 2 Another Boy_3
He didn't know why the unfamiliar genius 'Ling' chose death, but he knew that his own end was separated from 'Ling's' by a mere thread. If 'Ling' hadn't died, it might have been him lying on the tree branch under the sunset. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Without 'Ling's' relinquished spot, he wouldn't have been able to afford the tuition for a university in another Star Domain and would have been forced to continue facing the ticking sound from the next bedroom night after night. This prolonged despair and pressure had slowly eroded everything in his world, turning it pale and ice-cold.
With the help of the staff at the landing platform, Shan went through various procedures step by step, finally boarding the gray, old Flight.
Sitting by the window, as the mechanical announcement ended, the safety restraint lowered, securing Shan's body, and then the Flight's underside gradually emitted a blue stream, rising slowly.
A force pushed up from beneath and behind him, watching as the town below slowly became a panorama, then gradually shrank. Finally, a slight sensation of weightlessness ensued, and intense emotions churned within his heart.
His eyes seemed to fill with a warm liquid, causing him to choke up and want to cough, his fingers clutching the armrest tightly, his cheeks flushed red.
[Hello, is there anything wrong?]
An oval-shaped magnetic Autonomous Unit observed the boy's condition, stopped, and inquired.
He blinked fiercely, holding back his tears, and then shook his head, indicating nothing was wrong.
After pausing for several seconds, the Autonomous Unit, detecting no serious issue with the boy, turned and left, continuing its patrol in the cabin. And he could no longer hold back a choke, crying out.
The world outside the window gradually detached from the surface of the planet. Far-off stars were especially prominent against the pitch-black universe. The majesty and grandeur of it all tore through the pale fears in his mind, informing him that there truly was such a vast and boundless world. The speculation that had tormented him countless times, at last, dissipated without a trace.
Half an hour later, the emotionally stabilized boy continued to gaze blankly at the vast starry sky and scenery outside the window, until the Flight gradually reached the space Star Harbor outside the planet. Only then did he slowly come back to his senses.
That short half-hour felt like an eternity.
He opened his hand, then grasped it tight once again, and proceeded to walk out, pulling his luggage behind him.
While in line, he thought back to an afternoon years ago when his parents took him to an amusement park. He had a wonderful time; the park was filled with children, fresh green grass, and the sweet aroma of popcorn that seemed to linger in his memory to this day.
Come to think of it, he hadn't felt this serene in a long time, being able to calmly reflect on the past rather than avoiding thinking about pleasant things out of fear.
The more desperate the moment, the more he dared not dwell on happy memories, afraid he couldn't withstand the disappointment. He tried to keep himself pessimistic and continuously chewed on the pale repetition of the daily grind.
After boarding the Starship to the Central Star Domain, the young man slowly closed his eyes.
Although there were still some shadows and sorrows, at least at this moment, he could slowly feel some kind of hope rising slowly in the corner of the sky.
Blue glass, blue ceiling, blue branches and leaves in shadows. In that twilight evening, he felt as if he dreamed of another self lying back on the tree branch, counting the stars of nightfall, and then closing his eyes forever.
