Chapter 1061: Voluntary
At this moment, Lanyue Star had entered winter, with the outdoors covered in falling thick snow, creating layers and layers of snow on the ground that crunched underfoot, purifying Ji You’s mind and bringing a sense of serenity.
Staying at school, there’s no danger, no change, no need to keep her nerves taut; she could relax completely.
Ji You looked up at the nebula above her head, the sky over Lanyue Star was enveloped by a layer of light curtain, the Protective Shield resisting potential dangers in space, leaving only the natural scenery and climate, like this natural snowfall.
This made Ji You think of Garbage Star No. 101, where the finances are tight, unable to afford a light curtain Protective Shield that could cover the entire planet. It only has a few small shields protecting the 10 regions where humans dwell. Zone 5-6 is a wealthy area, fully wrapped within the shield, while the 10th zone where Ji You resides has only minimal protection function, and the shield is often out of repair, frequently malfunctioning; for instance, failing during a heavy snowfall, causing Ji You’s house to be completely covered in snow. Worse still, the house’s heating system might also fail—Ji You had once trembled with cold, nearly kicked the bucket, and it was Uncle Xie Yi who sensed something was amiss, not at ease until coming to check, thus saving Ji You.
Watching the fluttering snowflakes, Ji You suddenly felt a surge of homesickness.
No matter how good Lanyue Star was, it wasn’t home for her and Xiao You.
With this thought, Ji You felt a pang of yearning in her chest. She raised her hand, gently touching her chest: "Xiao You, what’s wrong?"
From the depths of her mind, a girl’s soft voice sounded: [Sister, I miss home too, miss Uncle Xie Yi’s stir-fried spicy chicken, miss Grandma Jenny’s apple pie... but, as long as sister is around, anywhere is my home.]
Upon hearing stir-fried spicy chicken and apple pie, Ji You remembered the taste, and her mouth watered. Hearing the next sentence, Ji You froze for a moment, then laughed: "Yes, the same goes for Xiao You, wherever you are, that’s my home."
Xiao You also laughed, lifting her face and looking at the light source above, smiling gently: [Sister, we’re soon going to be second-year students.]
Ji You: "Yes!"
Saying that, Ji You clinched her fist and said: "An even more exciting life awaits us! Let’s set off! We’ll go enroll!"
