The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

"Okay, who's next?" After making a wish, Yu Lan's eyes jumped back and forth between Chen Zigui and Cen Jiexiao.

At this moment, Cen Jiexiao looked at Chen Zigui and said with a smile, "Big Brother, please make a wish. Some say that if you make a wish with your close friends, your dreams will come true."

After hearing this, Chen Zigui felt a pang of excitement in his heart. This sentence seemed to touch a soft corner deep in his heart.

He smiled and nodded at Cen Jiexiao without saying a word, but some thoughts had already surged in his mind.

He was thinking about what wish he should make?

Many images emerged in his mind, including the battlefield raging with war, the scenes of people suffering from hunger and cold, and the warm scenes of him and his family.

In the soft moonlight, he stood alone in front of the windowsill, his figure looking particularly tall and lonely.

He closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, his face pious, and pieces of his homeland emerged in his mind, which was the deepest concern in his heart.

At this moment, it seemed as if the once prosperous homeland appeared before my eyes, and I also saw the devastation after being ravaged by war.

He wanted to restore his hometown to its former prosperity and let the people live a stable and prosperous life.

He silently recited: Recover the homeland and bring peace and prosperity to the country and the people.

At this moment, another scene emerges: a scene where everyone has enough food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has books to read, and everyone has a house to live in.

Then he opened his eyes, looked at the bright full moon, turned his head and looked at Cen Jiexiao beside him.

I silently recited in my heart: A harmonious family brings prosperity.

Under the moonlight, his and her shadows intertwined at some point, as if telling a new story.

"Okay, who's next?" After making a wish, Yu Lan asked softly, her eyes moving back and forth between Chen Zigui and Cen Jiexiao.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Cen Jiexiao's eyes at this moment, as if she had found something in some distant memory. She turned to look at Chen Zigui and said with a smile, "Big Brother, make a wish. Some say that if you make a wish with your close friends, your dreams will come true."

After hearing this, Chen Zigui felt a pang of excitement in his heart. This sentence seemed to touch a soft corner deep in his heart.

He smiled and nodded at Cen Jiexiao without saying a word, but some thoughts had already surged in his mind.

In the soft moonlight, he stood alone in front of the windowsill, his figure looking particularly tall and lonely.

With his hands clasped together and a pious expression on his face, his eyes revealed a hint of determination and fearlessness, as if he was telling God his wishes.

He closed his eyes, and pieces of his homeland emerged in his mind. That was the deepest concern in his heart.

He silently recited: Recover the homeland and bring peace and prosperity to the country and the people.

At this moment, he saw the scene of the future, a scene where everyone has enough food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has books to read, and everyone has a house to live in.

Then he opened his eyes and looked at the bright full moon. The moonlight shone on his face, as if giving him endless encouragement.

He turned his head again and looked at Cen Jiexiao beside him, his eyes filled with deep emotion. In his heart, he silently said: A harmonious family brings prosperity.

Under the moonlight, at some point, his shadow intertwined with Cen Jiexiao's shadow, as if telling of the deep friendship between them.

After Chen Zigui made his wish, everyone's eyes all fell on Cen Jiexiao. Those eyes seemed to carry an invisible pressure, which made Cen Jiexiao feel a little breathless.

"Dean, what is your wish?" Yu Lan asked softly.

Cen Jiexiao's expression became complicated. She lowered her eyes and sighed softly, as if she was thinking about something.

"I..." Cen Jiexiao wanted to speak, but suddenly paused. Her brows were furrowed, and she was trying hard to restrain something.

"What's wrong?" Yu Lan noticed something was wrong with Cen Jiexiao and asked with concern. She gently held Cen Jiexiao's hand.

Cen Jiexiao took a deep breath, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said in a low voice: "I don't have any wishes. If I do have one, it's to go home."

There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, a helplessness towards reality and also a helplessness towards the past.

"Go home?" Xiaozhi tilted his head and looked at Cen Jiexiao with a puzzled look, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Cen Jiexiao's words.

"Yes, go home." Cen Jiexiao smiled gently, with a hint of bitterness in her smile. She deliberately avoided Xiaozhi's questions, not wanting Xiaozhi to see what she was thinking.

"Dean, you are tired and want to go back to the academy to rest, right?" Xiaozhi asked. She was innocent and didn't know the secret in Cen Jiexiao's heart.

Cen Jiexiao was silent and did not answer Xiaozhi's question.

"Dean, you..." Yu Lan wanted to ask further, but suddenly stopped.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. I want to take a rest." Cen Jiexiao forced a smile. She didn't want her emotions to affect everyone and didn't want everyone to worry about her.

"Okay." Yu Lan didn't ask any more questions. She gently patted Cen Jiexiao's hand to express her comfort.

"Dean, you..." Xiaozhi wanted to ask something, but was gently stopped by Yu Lan.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Yu Lan said softly, "Since the dean is tired and it's getting late, let's go back early."

The four of them returned to the academy. The night was as dark as silk, covering everything in the courtyard. The lights in the small building gradually went out, leaving only a few moonlight shining.

Cen Jiexiao stood quietly, watching Yu Lan and Xiao Zhi leave. Her heart felt heavy, and she couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "After all, there's no going back..."

She shook her head and forced a smile.

Chen Zigui walked over to Cen Jiexiao and asked softly, "Dean, are you okay?"

Seeing Chen Zigui's concerned look, Cen Jiexiao sighed softly, "I'm fine, just... a little homesick."

Chen Zigui was silent for a while. He gently patted Cen Jiexiao's shoulder and said, "Sister Cen, is that you?"

Cen Jiexiao looked at Chen Zigui doubtfully, and without stopping, she turned and walked towards the room, leaving Chen Zigui standing alone in the moonlight.

When Cen Jiexiao returned to her room, she did not lie down to rest immediately. Instead, she walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky outside, her heart full of longing and desire.

"Hometown..." She murmured softly, and the scenes of her hometown appeared before her eyes: the crowded subway, the bustling supermarket, and her own little home.

She closed her eyes, and the laughter of her family echoed in her mind. She couldn't help but reach out to touch the illusory picture, but in the end she only touched the cold window frame.

"When can I go home?" she murmured, tears welling in her eyes.

She understood that the world she was once familiar with was now far away from her.
