Hesia stayed until the evening, during which time she walked the valley with Mel, visiting the scenery and seeing the extraordinary animals raised by the locals.

In the evening, Mrs. Hathaway took the two of them to a cliff hotel in the canyon for dinner, where one side is a cliff, the view is open, the evening breeze is gusting, it is very comfortable, and the hotel can also see many local residents for a variety of happy events to eat, quite lively.

"Come, Heshia can taste it, this is our locally produced Chaoyue shellfish, and the taste is very good." Mrs. Hathaway gestured to the freshly served food on the table, which contained five wavy shells with a faint smell of heat.

When a portion of the shell is opened, the shell meat inside is cooked through, and the right amount of seasoning is sprinkled.

"Because it is a specially cultivated variety, there is no fishy smell, the taste is smooth, and it is very popular, but the disadvantage is that the water quality requirements are very high, and the yield is not large, so there are not many outside breeding." Mrs. Hathaway introduced.

"Thank you, ma'am." Heshia and Mel each took one and ate it in small bites.

The night breeze was blowing, and the three of them were eating dinner while talking some interesting trivia, and the sound of laughter and wine glasses clashing came from the table in the distance, which did not seem noisy or deserted.

"Stay here tonight, Hesia, and tomorrow I'll ask Mel to pick you out some souvenirs and bring them back."

"Thank you, ma'am." Originally, Hehia subconsciously wanted to refuse, but considering whether this was a bit distant and unkind, she agreed again.

"Okay, don't be polite, these things aren't worth much, and it's my heart to give them to you." Madame Hathaway didn't know what Heshea was thinking, and explained easily.

"Meow~"

Just when the three of them were chatting, a gray-blue cat came to the girl's leg and rubbed it lightly, making a flattering sound, and its tail brushed the girl's leg from time to time, making people feel slightly itchy.

"Hiss." In the shadows beneath his feet, a large spider appeared, staring at the strange cat that had suddenly come running, and made a warning sound, causing it to jump up in fright and step on Hesia's knees.

"Yikes." Looking at the cat that suddenly appeared, the girl was surprised and pressed one hand on the back of its neck to prevent her from continuing to jump on the table and knock over the plate.

"Okay, okay, don't scare it." While comforting the cat in her arms, Heshia bent down and said to the big spider at her feet.

However, the big spider was still a little reluctant, looking at the gray and blue cat held by the girl and not moving, and hissing slightly aggrieved, as if to say, you actually hugged it or not me.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and a slightly flustered waiter ran over, and after seeing the cat in Hesia's hand, he quickly bent over and apologized.

"I'm sorry, this is our cat, I'm really sorry to disturb the guests' meal."

"It's fine."

When the girl heard this, she got up the cat and handed it to the waiter, who looked at the steaming big shell on the table, and meowed several times, and then was covered by the waiter's young lady and pressed it in her arms apologetically.

"I'm really sorry to disturb the guests." Then he left with the gray cat in his arms, listening to her whispered admonitions and pats along the way, and the gray and blue cat estimated that he would have to suffer when he went back.

"It's a cute cat." Looking at the cat that was taken away, Mel was a little reluctant.

Seeing that the cat was taken away, the big spider at Hesia's feet seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and circled around the girl's feet twice, and then jumped into her arms and lay down, looking like a thunderbolt could not leave.

"Ah, this ......"

Heshea patted it twice, but it was not easy to do it hard, but for the big spider, it was not painful, and in the end it had to go to it.

During dinner, Hehia tasted rare and fresh food, and occasionally broke small pieces and fed them to the big spider in her arms and the indigo snake on the chair next to her.

Watching Heshea interact with them, Mrs. Hathaway across the table smiled lovingly, her hazy eyes recalling some similar images, as if she had seen such a scene somewhere a long time ago.

"Eat more and don't be too them." She said with a smile, then picked up her warm wine glass, took a small sip, and looked out the window at the night sky.

The moonlight shone on the high mountains in the distance, and some drifting clouds drifted across the sky, which was exceptionally clear.

"What a wonderful old age......

The sweet and quiet time passed quietly, and by the time Heshia left the valley, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Standing on the platform with Mel, they waved to Mrs. Hathaway and a few familiar residents below, and then boarded the tram to the station and headed back to the North 1st campus.

Sitting in the chair in the car, Heshea leaned against the window, her eyes looking at the scenery flying by the window, the sun falling on her eyelashes, the shadows under her bangs were clearly divided and constantly crossed, and her beautiful face was immersed in the summer breeze.

What a beautiful and wonderful life, there is such a vast world outside the four-leaf crystal star domain, after listening to the experience that Mrs. Hathaway told her, Heshea has many expectations and fantasies, fantasizing about what scenery she will encounter in the future, what new friends she will meet, and what kind of life she will experience.

If over the years, because of living underground, what happened at home, and the overall decline of the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field, her perception of life has always been covered with thick dark clouds, then the conversation with Mrs. Hathaway in the past two days is like opening a window in the dark clouds and seeing another world outside.

Before I knew it, it was much brighter, and I wasn't as anxious as I used to be.

Suddenly wanting to record this feeling and expectation, the girl secretly took out the paper and pen in the storage space from the bottom of the table, and then brought it to the table, and sketched the imaginary world with a colored paintbrush.

It was the Syrannomy Star Field depicted by Mrs. Hathaway, the Sea Shell α-3 star, with a charming scenery.

In one corner of the picture, there is a sea of slanted flowers, between the light green blades of grass, full of blooming white kites, white and long petals, and the pale yellow stamens, in the opposite corner of the sea of flowers, several young and hazy figures holding hands and turning in circles, as if there are laughter and laughter coming from there, as the background of the sky is exceptionally clear and blue, without a trace of impurities.

Although she knew that she could find the picture of the Xuelan Star Field on the Star Network, Heshea still resisted this desire to search, and left this fantasy in her heart and on the picture, probably maintaining this pure expectation, so that she had the motivation to explore and go.

Mel, who was on the side of the seat, was holding the gray moon cat at the moment, and both the cat and the cat were sleeping peacefully, and their bodies fell into the bright sunshine, which was extremely warm.

After the painting was finished, the girl held up the small piece of paper and observed it through the sunlight, and as the light and shadow outside the window turned, the scenery and characters in the painting seemed to move, making people imagine the beauty in it.

Putting down the painting, Heshia looked at the large spider lying on the table, then on a whim lifted one of its feet, smeared a little light red paint, and then gently pressed it on the unobtrusive corner of the picture, stamped it with a special seal, and wrote the date.

When it was done, there seemed to be a light voice in her heart shouting, and then the girl rolled up the picture and put it into her secret picture book.

'The place I want to go in the future - under the sky where the flowers of the white kite are blooming. ’
