The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Maybe there's a little reason.

But, more importantly, Aine no longer has any expectations.

No longer have any expectations for this world, because if you don't have any expectations, you won't be disappointed like the day you saw the 'stars'...

"Aine, are you still awake?" But this time, before Aine could greet him, the blonde girl's voice came through the receiver.

This was a bit unexpected for Aiyin at this moment.

However, the next moment, words that caught her off guard reached her ears through the receiver -

"I'm downstairs in your house, can you open the door for me?"

Xia Ya doesn't have the key to Aine's house because she is in the hospital.

If Aine's heartbeat just now was like a fluttering deer, then now it was like there were 800 heavy metal bands playing drums inside.

Before she had time to ask herself why Xia Ya came to her home at this time, and why she left the hospital,

But the body moved on its own, "Xia Ya-san, I will come to open the door for you right away."

As she said this, she ran downstairs quickly, but when she was about to open the door, she suddenly froze. Was it really appropriate for her to meet Xia Ya in such a sloppy appearance?

Aiyin was struggling with whether to wash her face or comb her hair.

But in the end, her hands moved faster than her brain and she opened the door in one go.

Because she didn't want Xia Ya to wait.

Chapter 138: Night of Stars and Dandelions

"Xia Ya-san, why are you here?"

Aine was excited and a little shy, and the first words that came out of her mouth made her regret so much that she wanted to slap her thigh.

This statement is like saying that it is strange that Xia Ya came to his own house.

"Are you okay? Does it hurt? Let me help you."

"Thank you, Aine,"

Xia Ya waved in the light in front of Aine's house. Aine noticed that there seemed to be someone nearby, who must be the one secretly "protecting" Xia Ya.

After she helped Xia Ya into the house to pay her respects, she went upstairs. Just looking at the messy room, Aiyin couldn't help but have the urge to find a crack to crawl into.

This was Xia Ya's first time visiting her home, but she saw such a messy scene.

This reminded Aine of the first time she met Xia on the plane. She was in such a mess and hopeless that she could only watch her friend being killed.

At that moment, the blonde girl rushed out,

She is petite, but braver than anyone else.

He single-handedly eliminated all the terrorists, just like a hero in a comic book.

As for the last gunman, Aine always believed that it was an accident. If Xia Ya had still had a bullet in her gun at that time, it would not have been her turn to shoot.

Xia Ya did not sit down, but stood in front of the window, motioning Aiyin to let her go.

"I am very happy,"

She raised her head slightly and looked at the brightest star in the sky.

"Ugh?"

Aine was a little confused as to why Xia said that. Was she happy to be coming to her house?

But the next moment, she blushed because——

"I'm glad you said you wanted to be an astronaut,"

"Xia...Xia Ya-san!" The pink-haired girl waved her hands in panic. "That was just something I said when I was rambling. Astronauts and stuff... Oh, and to use Mr. Char's words, 'These are all mistakes made by youth!'"

"Wrong?" The blonde girl looked at her with a smile. While Aiyin was stunned, Xia Ya walked to the computer desk and picked up the gift bag that looked a little wrinkled.

"and many more!"

Aine subconsciously wanted to stop Xia Ya from opening it, but she was afraid of accidentally bumping into Xia Ya and didn't dare to move too fast.

So, under the dim and soft light, Xia Ya took out a bouquet of flowers from her bag.

"Thank you, Aine. I really like this bouquet of flowers."

"Hahaha," Aiyin laughed very reluctantly. She originally wanted to say that this was just a 'child' picking it up for fun, "as long as you like it."

Aine didn't think that "flower" could compare to lilies and roses.

Maybe if you give it to a child, the child will like it very much, but an 'adult' like Xia Ya must be comforting her.

"Chu Hua said that human power is too limited, and other planets and star systems are too far away for humans."

Xia Ya walked to the window holding the bouquet of flowers under the gaze of the pink-haired girl.

"It is indeed true. It has been 63 years since humans first set foot in space. People in the past firmly believed that by the time the 21st century arrived, humans would have already migrated to Mars and explored deeper into space.

But now, in the 24th year of the 21st century, humanity is still trapped in the Earth's gravity, and the satellites in the sky are just tools for people to fight each other. The distance between humanity and the stars seems truly unattainable..."

The stars in the sky have dimmed because the angle has changed and the intensity of the sunlight they reflect is decreasing.

At this moment, there are no more stars in the night sky of Tokyo.

"But I know of a greater distance, and it is right here on our planet,"

"On Earth?" Aine said in disbelief. "Earth's closest orbit to Mars is still over 5000 million kilometers away!"

The wind started to blow in the room.

Aiyin stared blankly at the girl's golden hair, which fluttered in the wind.

She held the bouquet of flowers in one hand and with the other, she pushed the window open a little.

The wind was pouring in from the gap, and the next moment, the wind disappeared.

It's not that the wind stopped, but——

The wind changed direction.

Xia turned to Aine and smiled, then—

He let go of the hand that was holding the window.

The next moment, the wind came from behind, and the pink-haired girl's hair flew forward.

At the end of the night sky, between the earth and the moon, stars light up. That's the engine of the colony satellite running.

Under the shining of the stars, the flowers she gave to Xia Ya bloomed.

Snow-white petals flew from Xia Ya's hands into the sky, like a tiny waterfall reflected by sunlight, breaking free from gravity.

The window torn open by the wind hit the limiter, making empty memories, but this did not wake him up, staring blankly at the blonde girl Aine,

In her eyes, there is a reflection of a girl illuminated by lights and stars, her golden ponytail floating and swaying in the wind, dandelions drifting in the night sky, and bits of white still remaining on the golden waterfall.

The pink-haired girl's already messy hair had strands of long hair that broke free from nowhere, swaying in her sight, gently caressing her cheeks, ears, and neck.

Aine felt itchy, as if a kitten was scratching her heart.

That feeling may just come from the caressing of hair,

Or maybe, there are other reasons,

But there is no doubt that

now,

Aine's sight,

attention,

And the heart,

It was taken away by that blonde girl.

"The area in which an ordinary Asteraceae plant lives throughout its life will not exceed one square meter.

Even millions of Asteraceae plants cannot cross the desert.

Even if a whole continent were covered with them, they would not be able to reach another continent."

The blonde girl's voice was clear, like the pure ice colliding with the ice wall in the flowing water of the melting glacier.

"So, a small flower of the Asteraceae family appeared. At first, their seeds were no different from other small flowers, just light and thin enough, hoping that the wind or animals could carry the seeds farther.

But after billions of years of evolution, they developed "wings". The initial wings were just a little "sail" that could only allow the wind to blow the seeds a few meters away.

This is obviously enough for a small wild flower, but they did not stop there!

Ten meters!

One hundred meters or one thousand meters! That's not their limit!

As long as there is wind, they can fly nearly a hundred kilometers away!

Fly over deserts, rivers, and even oceans, and reach an oasis where no one of your kind has ever lived before, or even another continent!

For the ancestors of dandelions, this was as difficult as human migration to Centaurus.

The time it took for them to evolve into 'dandelions' is hundreds of times longer than human history, and the time span far exceeds the evolution process of the entire human population.

For them, this is far greater than the distance from Earth to Mars!"

The blonde girl placed her hands on Aine’s shoulders and looked into her eyes, “Don’t give up, even if it’s just a small step towards the future,

Even if we fail countless times, we must keep going!

Perhaps, Aine, you yourself haven't realized that no matter what you do, as long as you work hard at it, you can do it well.

You are gentle, considerate and considerate of others.

I see endless possibilities in you!"

"Endless...possibilities?"

Aine didn't believe it. To be more precise, she didn't believe herself. She was weak and cunning, and when faced with problems, she just wanted to escape. Such a person had infinite possibilities...

But the wind tonight is really gentle,

Her heart began to beat happily again.

Is this because of Xia Ya?

Or is it the possibility she said?

Or maybe both?

Aiyin couldn't tell.

But sometimes, things don't have to be so clear-cut.

She only knew that in this night of stars and dandelions, her heart had found peace.

By tomorrow, the energetic and vibrant Anon-chan might be back.

But tonight, she prayed for the night to be longer,

Let her have enough time to say goodbye to her deceased family members in her heart.
