"The trip I'm talking about has nothing to do with money, you just want to go and just say it." Roger told him. "The old man has always had his own way in this regard, not only does the Four Seasons cruise keep a room for him all year round, but even we can ride for free."

"Is that so?" Jonny said with some emotion. "I didn't expect my uncle to be such a capable person."

"Don't be envious, JFK, you still don't understand anything." Roger laughed dumbly. "When you have exhausted all your rich ancestral possessions like the scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, you too can find a place in this turtle ship where fools gather or in the hapless gentlemen's club."

"Okay, Roger." Jonny nodded. "I'll have to think about it, and I'll have to ask my mom what she means."

"Well, good boys and wretched scumbags usually do that." Roger pouted again, but Jonny didn't bother at his sarcasm, looking out the window at the white pavement illuminated by the streetlights, the flight car window screen showing that the planned route was about to be halfway over.

"Wait a minute." Something suddenly occurred to Jonny. "Given the look on your face that you have so much disgust with this ship, I have to take the liberty of asking."

"The trip on this four-season cruise...... Will you go with you? He winked at Roger.

"That's a really good question." Roger narrowed his eyes and reached for his scalp. "Ever since I was 11 years old, that selfish guy has always begged me to travel with him......"

"You know what? He even talked to me about 'going to school is a waste of time'. Roger squeezed out a smile.

"It's a bit of a mess." Jonny nodded with the corners of his mouth curled.

"But he hasn't ever succeeded in his wish." Roger said. "You see, he actually loves me very much, there is no doubt about that, and I know that he has not felt good alone since my mother died, so I used this terrible and boring space dance party to dispel the loneliness. But I'm not going to take up his mantle and become a mild-mannered drunkard and an idler who thinks he knows everything. Roger ran his fingers through the strands of blonde hair that were sliding stubbornly out of his fingertips.

"I don't like to study, you know." He continued.

Everyone in Newton probably knew, Jonny muttered to himself, trying to put a comforting smile on his face.

"Compared to Mr. Serkis's Chinese paraphrasing class, boarding that drunken and rotten cruise ship may be more drowsy." Roger said bluntly. "But this time the old man was very persistent, in addition to the clichés about father and son in the past, he also said some crooked theories that overlooking the galaxy and appreciating the infinite vacuum will make people grow, and I finally lost the excuse to go to class and rugby league."

"If you have to do something about this remarkable depravity......" Roger said as he glanced at Jonny. You'll have to at least pull a cushion to make sense, and you're the right fit, JFK. ”

"Because I'm a bookworm?" Jonny couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Nope." Roger immediately shook his head.

"Because you're my best friend." He said with a wrenched face, and his sincere words moved Jonny quite a bit.

"And there's obviously a lack of a guide along the way, you know, that's the only use of being a bookworm." He grinned, and his otherwise serious face was replaced by a playful smile.

"In other words, you have been desperately eating a belly of ink for the past three years...... It's finally going to work. Roger said with a smile.

……

Stunned by the space elevator surrounded by transparent force field walls, watching the rhythmic swift passing of the flickering lights in the pipes beneath his feet, those notions of space navigation were limited to a few fragments of that dusty memory for Jonny.

Shrinking his hands and feet, strapped himself tightly to the intricate seat, in a small and cramped space, launched by a huge rocket erupting with scorching flames, breaking through the barriers of the atmosphere, breaking free from the heavy gravity, gathering his mind in the violent swing, praying in the fear that unpredictable disasters may occur at any time, and then, the pressure suddenly decreases to nothingness, and the whole body is as light and comfortable as a bird taking off.

Everything is relieved, looking at the starry sky outside the porthole, admiring the gradually clear and dazzling starlight, unfastening the tight seat belt, and enjoying the happiness of weightlessness in the confined and extremely small space.

It's documentaries about the moon landing, sci-fi space disaster movies, and maybe entertainment like indoor roller coasters at famous theme parks.

A long time ago, he never imagined that he would fly into space one day in his lifetime, and after coming to this world, although he knew that today's aerospace technology had matured to an amazing extent, he still did not think about what it would be like.

Roger's unreliable-sounding invitation allowed him to embark on a journey to space for the first time in the vast universe.

Under the haste and obvious coercion and temptation, his phrase "consider consideration" was directly changed by the blonde youth to "you agreed to it in stone", so that he had to explain the reason to Joanna, and begged his mother to approve of this seemingly expensive travel plan.

Joanna, who has half feather blood, seems to have the same persistent courage as her mother Mei in her nature, because of the symptoms of Jonny's childhood, she was once afraid that her children would be bullied in Newton School, but for some reason, Joanna trusted Jonny's classmates who often came to the house.

In view of Roger's always running away from the train, he used to worry Jonny a little when he came to the house for dinner for the first time, for fear that his behavior would make a joke and make Joanna angry. But all the imaginary anger of his mother did not happen, and Joanna, who had always been good-natured, was amused by Roger's honey-smear compliments at the dinner table.

Since then, Joni has always mentioned his classmate Sabertooth Tigers team friend when asked about the school, and Roger's favorite roasted roaring beast meat and shellfish have been added to the dinner table, Roger has gradually become a regular in the house, and Joanna's smile has begun to grow brighter.
