Chapter 3: Making a Wish (Revised Version)
Zhao Xue gave me a strange look, "This sounds a little frustrating, don't you have any favorite company you want to go to?" Or do you want to start your own business or something? β
I nodded and shook my head again: "Of course there are companies I want to go to, and of course there are careers I want to do, but those are just step-by-step plans, and they are not any goals." β
Zhao Xue didn't seem surprised when she heard it, "Speaking of which, I don't know if it's an illusion, you always give me a feeling of being out of place with the surrounding environment, as if nothing can arouse your interest." β
I was a little surprised when I heard it, this Zhao Xue had a very keen eye, but I nodded calmly, "You're right, I do lack interest in many things, and the reason why I don't have any goals for the future is probably because of this." β
When Zhao Xue heard this, she showed a curious look, "Oh, why is this, can you tell me?" β
"Don't laugh when I say it."
Zhao Xue nodded seriously, indicating that she would definitely not laugh.
I don't usually show my heart like a person, but it's probably because it's always easy for beautiful women to let go of their guards, and at this moment I'm telling the truth what I've always thought.
"I probably read a lot of superhero comics when I was a kid, I always have a very dramatic mindset of the world, and my life must be the beginning of a very wonderful story, just like the beginning of every superhero's origin story.
Although I'm still very ordinary for the time being, one day I will encounter an accident, my life will be completely changed because of this accident, everything will not be ordinary, maybe it is to pick up a martial arts cheats, maybe it is to be bitten by a mutated creature and gain superpowers, maybe one day a mysterious person tells me that in fact, I have hidden secrets of my life, in short, this moment is bound to happen, it is just a matter of time. β
"So I've been looking forward to that moment for a long time, but I don't know until now, and there is no sign of that moment before ,ββ I guess you must think I'm naΓ―ve."
Zhao Xue smiled and shook her head, "No, in fact, I had similar thoughts when I was a child, at that time I always wanted to grow up to be a princess, live in a castle, and live with a prince, I guess people always had similar thoughts when they were young." β
I nodded, "I know this, but the problem is this, most people will recognize the truth of the matter early, learn to accept reality, and live a good life, I am almost the same, a long time ago my reason told me that reality is not a comic, and that moment will never come, but deep down in my heart there is a faint voice - that moment is destined to come, but it is not yet time, after all, in superhero comics, some people will encounter this kind of thing at the age of thirty or forty." β
Zhao Xue couldn't help but look surprised when she heard this: "So you still think you're going to be a superhero?" β
I nodded seriously and shook my head again: "That's right, that's right, although it doesn't have to be a superhero, but it must be an extraordinary accident, and it will bring me a completely different fate." β
When I said this, I felt a little blushing myself, if I said that secondary two was a disease, I guess it was already terminally ill.
Zhao Xue looked at my serious expression and was stunned for a while, she looked at it for a while, and when she saw that I didn't look like I was joking, she suddenly covered her mouth, revealing an expression that she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, "If you want to laugh, laugh, in fact, I also think this kind of thing is quite funny, to be honest I don't really believe that this kind of thing will come true, it's just a hint of expectation in my heart, my reason tells me that this moment will never come, but deep down I prefer to believe in another answer, which is why I am not interested in anything, I think life is like a joke." β
That Zhao Xue finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then gradually turned into laughter, generally speaking, I would feel a little angry when I was laughed at like this, but looking at Zhao Xue's laughing flowers and trembling smiles, I couldn't get angry, I could only sigh meaninglessly.
"Hahahaha, I said Qin Xing, you are really funny, you are so childlike." Zhao Xue laughed for a while before stopping, as if sensing the contradiction in my heart, Zhao Xue comforted, "Actually, you don't have to be discouraged, after all, your life has just begun, the world is so big that there are no wonders, maybe you will really encounter such an encounter one day." β
"Maybe," I said absent-mindedly, I could hear that Zhao Xue was just comforting me, but there was no turmoil in my heart, after twenty years of peaceful life, I had actually accepted the reality a long time ago, but in the depths of my heart, there was still a faint trace of fantasy.
But I actually know that fantasy is just fantasy, reality is not a game, not a movie, not a graphic novel, in the real world, I am just an ordinary person, just like everyone else.
Maybe that's not a bad thing to do. I comforted myself with the thought that at least I was living in a peaceful era, without war and turmoil, and I could spend my life in peace, and I should stop thinking about these boring things in the future, and find a job next year.
Just when I was bored with imagination, a light suddenly lit up in the sky.
"Look, it's a shooting star!" Zhao Xue suddenly grabbed my hand and said excitedly.
Her hand was unusually soft, I felt the soft and silky touch in my hand, it was very useful, and when I looked up, sure enough, in the distant night sky, a meteor was gliding across the sky with a trajectory.
This should be the predicted meteor shower, but why is there only one? I was thinking about it, at this time, the others also noticed the meteor, and they all ran over and looked at the sky together, the meteor slowly crossed the sky, but it was not as fleeting as ordinary meteors, but it was getting brighter and closer, exuding dazzling light.
"It is said that the longer the meteor exists, the more effective it will be to make a wish, quickly, quickly make a wish!" Zhao Xue said, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, I didn't know what I was thinking, I looked at the meteor, but I also silently made a wish in my heart, [If you can, let that moment come as soon as possible].
"Huh? This meteor looks so weird, why is it green? β
"Look, it's coming this way."
"What are you kidding, huh? It seems to be true. β
