"If you have the talent of a singer, will you definitely become a singer, or if you have the talent of a hundred shots, will you definitely set foot on the battlefield?"

"The answer is not necessarily." Elukruw put down her glass and shook her head.

"Sometimes I wonder if Grad's seniors have courage or lack of fighting spirit."

"In the face of the countless benefits brought by the identity of the singer, she can not give it up, this should be some kind of strong faith and bravery."

"But even with the talent that countless people envy, she still didn't dare to continue on this path, and finally gave up on herself, which makes it difficult for people to think that Grad's predecessors are brave and tough."

"The vast majority of singers, even if they are currently retired, at least they have tried a lot on the road of singers, and in the end they can't see hope, or it is always difficult to go further, so they choose to give up."

"But Grad's predecessors are different, even if she hasn't graduated yet, she has a tendency to give up."

"Singer's emotions are contagious, even if I'm also a singer."

"Because of the abandonment of Greed's predecessors, it gave me, Jian Xin'er, and Luo Fenghua a big blow, and it also made us confused and hesitant for a long time at that time." As she spoke, she slowly shook the glass with a cool, sparkling liquor.

"The singers come from all corners of society, and no one knows that they will embark on this road in the future until they wake up."

"Have you ever wondered what you became a singer for?" The cat-eared singer suddenly changed her voice.

"In fact, many people unconsciously embarked on this road, at first they just felt that being a singer must be much more exciting than ordinary people, and then gradually got used to this identity, and then slowly discovered the true desire in their hearts."

"In fact, as a singer, what I am most afraid of is not pain, but confusion, because of confusion, any beliefs and emotions are no longer firm, and everything is like a marionette, just moving forward with the surrounding environment."

"It's terrible to be unresolute and hesitant, to change your thoughts and positions often, and to regret whatever decision you make." She shook her head.

"Grad's predecessors once told me that she is a very decadent person, she can't lift up many things, those noble things are far away from her, and it is difficult for her to run towards these ideas from the bottom of her heart, but if she wants to completely deny it, she also thinks that she can't do it, so she is trapped in wandering."

"The confused singer, the voice she sings not only can't move people, but will only make the audience more confused, like a lost soul."

It was also for this reason that she sang less and less often, and even had a certain tendency to self-destruct at one point.

"After several psychotherapeutic sessions, she submitted an application to the Central Council, and finally gave up the title and identity of the singer and closed herself off."

"Because she no longer has the infectious ability of a singer, she can sing some sad and decadent songs with confidence to relieve her emotions, and then her life gradually recovers."

After listening to Eluklu's story, the hearts of several people present were filled with various emotions, some regret, some sympathy, some worried, and some had no waves.

"And where is Senior Grad now?" Someone asked curiously.

"I don't know the specifics, but it shouldn't be in the central star field, the last time I contacted her on the Internet, it was the beginning of the year, she said that she bought a second-hand hoverbike, so that it would be much more convenient to go to the bar every night."

After telling the story of Grede's predecessor in 'sparkling wine', Eluklu blinked, as if she didn't feel the atmosphere was right.

"Ahem, everyone has a good meal tonight, I was also on the spot just now, and I said too much unconsciously, in short, it's rare to get together today, it's better to be happy~"

After that, she tried to create an atmosphere.,Introduce the seafood meal she specially prepared.,And then evaluate what must-go restaurants around the school park and so on.。

"There is a 'summer windmill' restaurant near the center of District 2, this one is very distinctive, although it is indoors, but the whole floor is a few square meters of wheat fields, the only place to eat is in the windmill, the dome is always warm sunshine and wind, the scenery is beautiful and relaxing, and the wheat bread inside is a signature dish that guests like."

"There are also 'Gate Crab', 'Dragon Flame Burst', 'Nectar Kiss' and so on, which are also special restaurants, and it will be great to experience them."

Speaking of these places, the curiosity of several young singers was aroused again, and then the topic slowly turned to their own tastes and hobbies.

"I prefer meat and vegetables." Blanche talks about her hobbies.

"I love tofu." Oldney cocked up her fingers.

"Probably a barbecue." Pullen thought for a moment.

"Fish or soups of any kind?" Shui Yanqing pressed his chin lightly in thought.

"Cold and sweet cake." Olese affirmed.

"Oh, me, fish or fruit." Ti Lan saw several people look at her, and then replied.

"Haha, it seems that our parallel party has won a big victory." Elukrue came to Tilan's side and hugged her and Shui Yanqing in agreement.

As a few people laughed, the dinner gradually ended, and finally went to the observatory in the dome to enjoy the moonlight, and the seven people took off their shoes and lay down on the mats.

The dome is to filter the scenery of the night sky and enlarge it, looking at it below, it is like standing on the top of a distant mountain, filtering out the pollution of other light sources, and looking up at the Milky Way star sand in the sky, which is very beautiful.

"The Milky Way is huge." Oldney sighed softly.

"Well, big, big." Shui Yanqing's eyes looked at the starry sand of the Ganges River in the sky in a daze, a little distracted.

"It is said that only a very small number of habitable galaxies in the Milky Way have civilized activities, and most of the other galaxies are extremely lonely."

"Sometimes I don't dare to look at this galaxy, because if I see too much, I will feel that I am too small, so small that everything is in vain in the end."

"Don't give up, you don't really want to change the world by doing these things."

"In fact, I knew very early on that I couldn't change the world, the only thing I could change was this small fragment of what I experienced."

"It's nice too, because this little snippet is our world."

After that, the small observatory fell silent, and some people still stared at the starry sky in the distance, while others closed their eyes, and slowly, some fell asleep.

Oles turned her gaze to look at Tilan, who was sleeping beside her, and saw that her breathing was slowly and steady, and it seemed that she was completely asleep.

Is it so defenseless, she thought to herself, then moved her head a little closer, looked carefully at the sleeping Tilan, and then gently leaned her head together, and closed her eyes as well.

On the other side of the mat, Eluk Lou leaned sideways, secretly playing a small game with her personal terminal, and Blanche looked at the starry sky above her head, and gradually fell asleep.

Oldney and Pulline whispered, occasionally gesticulating, presumably discussing the gains and losses of the previous star cluster confrontations.

Shui Yanqing was very awake and didn't sleep, she first raised her body and looked around at the other singers, and then lay down again, closing her eyes and recuperating.

In this way, in the early hours of the morning, the moon crossed the angle observed by the observatory, and several singers present returned sporadically to leave.

The next day, Ti Lan spent her normal classes during the day, and in the evening, she also participated in the evening party of the 'Four-Leaf Crystal in the Central Star Field'.

The members of the party were all from the Four Leaves Crystal Star Domain, some of them were students, and some were business people who made money and made a living in the Central Star Domain.

During this time, Tilan attended the small meeting and left.

After this day, it is Thursday, and it is rare that there is no arrangement for this night, so Ti Lan sleeps and rests at home.

Then it was Friday, and even though class hadn't ended yet, she could feel that the atmosphere in the school was much lighter.

"Because it's the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival." Oleth and Tilan walk down the hallway of the campus building, watching the students pass by outside.

"The one on campus is just a simple celebration, and to really watch the performance of the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, it has to be the commercial street in the first district of the center, where many large enterprises sponsor and do promotional activities, so many stars and performance teams will also be invited."

"Does Tilan have time to go with you tomorrow?" She sent out an invitation.

"Tomorrow." The girl nodded slightly.

Seeing her agree, Olis was much lighter, and then walked to the fork in the road, waved goodbye to Tilan, and then entered the branch where her mansion was located.

Back at the residence, Ti Lan first changed into a set of clothes that were easy to travel, the upper body was probably a simple shirt, the collar had a dark red ribbon, the sleeves had a little white lace, and the lower body was a skirt with the same color as the ribbon, just below the knee, not long or short, and the dark red skirt was dotted with white rose lines, which had a simple beauty.

Tonight was the time she had promised to have dinner with Irene, and it had been a month since the two of them had been in the Central Star Field, and this was the first time they had a meal.

"Where's it, Tilan?" In the personal terminal, Irene's familiar voice was heard.

"Next to the Kenomomatsu platform in the 1st district of the center." Ti Lan looked up at the brightly lit platform opposite, with lanterns of various sizes and occasional red ribbons fluttering.

"Wait, I'll be there shortly."

Leaning on the guardrail outside the platform, Ti Lan looked up at the sky, her long flaxen gray hair pouring down, an indescribable smoothness and ease.

The body is slightly bent, the fingers are buckled on the guardrail, and the body is a little free, so that passers-by occasionally look stunned and turn back.

Five minutes later, a supersonic train stopped at the station, followed by a number of pedestrians, including a woman with chestnut hair.

As soon as she stepped out of the platform, Irene saw Tilan leaning against the guardrail, and then walked over with a smile.

"Let's go together."

The two then walked to a bustling shopping street full of tourists.

The traces of time have been caress inadvertently, and compared with the two of them visiting the botanical garden four years ago, Irene is now more mature, with big wavy chestnut hair, a pearl bracelet on her wrist, and a bag that she carries with her also highlights her generous and fashionable temperament.

Beside her, she looks younger, but unlike four years ago, she is slightly softer, tonight's Ti Lan seems to be a little free, and the details of some movements no longer have the timidity of the past.

After visiting a few shops, the two walked out again, and Irene talked about the clothes and interesting things she had just seen.

"Speaking of which, Tilan has really changed a lot." She finally noticed the subtle change.

"Huh?" Ti Lan tilted her head, slightly puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just the kind of feeling that the little Tilan I met together has finally grown up, well, although it's not as confused and cute as before, but there is also a new beauty."

"Is it so obvious?" Tilan's fingers interlocked, reflecting on the changes she had made since she came to the Central Star Field.

"It does seem to be a lot more relaxed than before." She brushed the strands of hair over her ears.

"High school was very nervous, as you later knew, Eds Academy was in deep trouble with St. Ingo."

"At that time, I had a lot of places to rely on the school, and I also had a lot of unknown worries about the future, which was reflected in my temperament, that is, I was a little cautious, and sometimes I was more restrained."

"Now, do you know, when I walked out of the platform, I saw you leaning against the guardrail, and I almost didn't recognize you." Irene covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Now, do you know the word disenchantment?" Tilan replied.

"In the past, I had a lot of imagination about the Central Star Field, as well as the awe and fear of the upper echelons of the Federation as an ordinary person."

"However, after coming to the university, I gradually came to know the situation of the real central star field, that is to say, the hazy veil was completely lifted, and at the same time, the various courses and activities on campus made me gradually see the real power structure and current situation of the Federation."

"The more you know, the less fear you have, that's probably it."

"When you know everything, you are no longer so inexplicably scared and worried." Ti Lan shook her head slightly.

"I think that sometimes psychological problems do not necessarily have to be treated with psychological methods, maybe to really experience and understand reality, but can untie a lot of knots and irregular anxiety."

"That's amazing, Tilan." Irene looked at her friend with relief and admiration.

"Do you know, when you seriously analyzed and explained to me, you exuded a confident and sincere aura, a kind of charm that I have never seen."

"So frank and powerful."

"Hehe, it's a bit exaggerated, but I'm really surprised and happy." With that, she turned her head again to look at the red floating lantern at the end of the street.

"It turns out that people really change." With that, she closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again.

"From the distant four-leaf crystal, a small underground city in the jade skirt, to the bustling metropolis of the Central Star Domain, there is really an illusion of time flies and vicissitudes of life."

"Will we be friends together in the future, Tilan." She asked suddenly.

"Of course, why ask this all of a sudden."

"Because I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you one day." Irene replied earnestly.

"Now you don't have to rely on me anymore." She said with a faint sense of loss in her heart.

"I don't need you, but I still need you, Irene." Ti Lan took Irene by the hand and walked under the night sky as the fireworks went up.

"I still remember, that after school afternoon, Irene came to play with me with a bunch of candy, the Irene who stood up and helped me defend myself, the Erin who was mature and generous in everyone's eyes."

"That's a part of my past memories that I can't forget and discard."
