Chapter 240 City at Night

At night, in the club activity room.

Tilan sat at her own table, supporting her face with one hand and holding a pen with the other hand, turning it from time to time, occasionally drawing a stroke on the paper, unconsciously outlining the outline of a flower.

She was not thinking about any life problems at this moment, just relaxing and daydreaming. The outline of the flower drawn by the tip of the pen was the origin of her name, "Tilan", a flower named after an elf.

It seems that I haven't written a diary for a long time. Tilan's pen tip turned on the paper, and the black handwriting like a calyx drew the current time, June 2.

Since the beginning of this semester, she has been busy with many things, some about the academy, and some about her classmates. As for her own affairs, she has paid less attention to them now.

Thinking back to this time last year, she should still be working at "Liuli Dream". It must be said that a top-level academy like Edes Academy is really a beautiful paradise, allowing students to avoid many troubles and fully concentrate on learning and advancement.

Recalling the scene in the Glass Dream, lively figures emerged in her mind.

Standing up, she walked to the cabinet in the corner of the room, opened the locked cabinet door, and took out the black walnut violin.

Holding the violin and sitting back in her seat, Tilan gently played "Canon in D", which was the first song she practiced and the most familiar song.

The tune is not complicated, but each violinist has different states and thoughts when playing. It can be light and uplifting, sad and sorrowful, or gentle and peaceful. The music score is just a standard template, but people's fingers or voices are smart. Even if it is the same song, different people will show different beauty when performing it.

In the room illuminated by a faint warm light, a girl in a black dress sat on a chair, her slightly slender back straight, her shoulders rising and falling slightly as the bow was pulled, her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her blue hairband swaying with her body, like a blue butterfly flapping its wings in the dark night, slowly flying, making people immersed in this peaceful dream.

After a long time, the music stopped, and the girl slowly opened her eyes, put down the violin, and stroked the slightly cold shell with her fingers, feeling the smoothness and translucency of the surface wood lacquer.

Picking up the pen again, the girl wrote on the paper.

[I played Canon again today, and it reminded me of many memories.]

[Please don't worry, mom, Tilan is no longer as timid and inferior as she was when she was a child.]

[However, performing in front of many people is still a bit difficult.]

[It will probably take a few more years for her to become as good as her sister. ]

After finishing her diary, she closed the book, then jumped off the chair, put away the violin, and then looked at the quiet room again, turned off the light, and then walked out.

At this time, there was no one in the club activity room. After closing the door, she took the elevator down.

After leaving the building, she looked at her personal terminal. The time showed [20:31]

It was not too late. Thinking that there was nothing to do when she went back, she suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. Although she had been in South District 1 for a long time, she spent most of her time in the academy and rarely went out. First, the academy had complete facilities and a beautiful environment. Second, she had always been busy with academic and training matters. She herself did not have the habit of shopping, so she had not even walked the main street outside the Edes Academy. Let's

go and take a look today.

She summoned the automatic suspension car inside the academy and got in. Soon after, she arrived at the gate of the academy. Because the suspension car inside the academy only served within the academy and could not go out, she jumped off the car and started walking.

A tall arched gate stands here, with angel statues holding water bottles and closing their eyes on both sides. They face each other in the middle of the gate, and their dresses are entangled with vines, fine leaves, and flowers.

There are not many people entering and leaving the gate. Occasionally, you can see students traveling together in groups of three or two. There are few people like Tilan who stand alone

in front of the gate. After leaving the academy, the main street outside has a tall and transparent wall of the academy on one side and various shops on the other side. The lights are bright, and occasionally you can see vehicles passing by the roadside, bringing some water sounds.

It is drizzling in the sky, and the ground is slightly wet. Some pedestrians hold umbrellas, and some students perform rain-proof spells and walk easily in the rain.

Tilan walked on the street while picking up her personal terminal to browse. The area near the academy is very stable. The shops on this street are not dense, but you can see some companies and research institutions. It is also very quiet at night.

It takes about two kilometers to go east to reach the more prosperous commercial area.

After determining the destination, she put down her personal terminal and walked quietly in the rain. She was not in a hurry at all. Sometimes she even wondered why she was in such a hurry. The sound of rain and footsteps on the road also made her feel relaxed.

In this way, she walked with a slightly light step, occasionally looking at the shops and night views on the roadside, and walked slowly until the magnificent building in the distance appeared at the end of the street.

This commercial module is much more lively. There are not only many company office buildings, but also various supporting catering and entertainment venues. Standing under the building, you can see many men and women in suits or fashionable dresses standing on the revolving elevator, slowly moving upward along the outside of the shopping mall, and from time to time people around her crossed the street and walked into it.

When she also walked into the downstairs of this shopping mall, a noisy atmosphere rushed towards her, as if pulling this girl who was not worldly into the world, the sound of advertisements, music, and the dispatcher's broadcast were mixed together, and there were also the voices of adults and children, the coughing of the elderly, the crying of children, and a few pet calls mixed in.

Follow the crowd and stand on the huge spiral elevator, slowly browse the various shops along the way, and walk into the shops you like to take a closer look.

The first thing that caught my eye was a dessert and cold drink shop.

T5-level "Xilanxiang Red Rice Cake", a box of 300g, 99 federal coins.

T5-level, "Vortex Tricolor Ice Cream", a portion of 128g, 65 federal coins.

T5, 'Ice Crystal Green Pomelo Tea', 300ml per cup, 42 federal coins.

...

Most of the food in the store is T5 quality food, and the few T4 ones are placed on the top of the cabinet.

T4 'Yellow Maple Fragrance', made with 'Tissilan Maple Leaf', 'Ice Essence Honey' and 'Lulana Cream', is sweet and delicious, can soften magic and slow down the sequelae of magic scouring.

T4 'Orange Chiffon Cake', made with 'Red Fragrant Orange', 'Fox Flame Bird Egg' and 'Lulana Cream', can relieve fatigue and relieve the state of weak blood and qi.

T4 'Emerald Jade Cake', made with 'Concentric Bamboo', 'Seven Snow Beans' and 'Moon Clear Dew', can clear the mind and stabilize the mental state, increase magic perception, and make it easier to succeed when advancing and practicing.

Compared with T5 food that ordinary people can still consume, T4 food with extraordinary effects is very expensive. The cheapest one also costs 1699 federal coins.

If it were in the past, Tilan would probably be like most people passing by here, just looking at the exquisite food displayed high up with envy, and then choosing a T5-level food would be satisfying.

Now, she can indeed afford the food box displayed at the top, but the consumption habits she developed in the past still make her feel a little distressed.

Seeing the girl standing in front of the counter for a long time, the clerk came over and took a closer look at Tilan's appearance and appearance. He was slightly surprised, but shook his head. He has been working here for several years. This situation is actually very common. Many people envy the beautiful and effective products, but the expensive price and the amount that is only enough for one meal are really distressing, and many people will not buy them.

At this time, the store manager noticed the situation here and walked over slowly. He looked at Tilan and then at the food boxes displayed above.

"Which one does this lady like? I can give you one here."

"Huh?" The girl was slightly surprised and turned her head.

"What a beautiful girl, how can a child like you be troubled by such a problem." As the store manager said, he took down a few of them and placed them in front of the girl.

"Pick one."

"Is it free?"

"Well, just take a picture with the food box as a souvenir."

"Well, forget it." The girl patted her chest lightly, and understood the store manager's thoughts.

"Thank you for your kindness, I'll pay." She picked up a box of 'Orange Chiffon Cake' and went to the cashier.

"Pay for it yourself, that's fine." The store manager didn't care much about it. After all, in his opinion, such a beautiful girl couldn't be short of money.

After paying, Tilan took the T4-level food box that she bought for the first time and walked out of the store. Then she sat down at a quiet observation deck, put the food box on her knees and opened it, revealing the colorful and tempting cake inside.

Carefully divide the small pieces with a fork and put them in your mouth. The smooth soft sweetness and orange fragrance overflowed, which made people love it.

With her legs gently shaking, the girl looked down at the night view below and tasted the chiffon cake in the box, feeling quite emotional.

In fact, she had eaten a lot of T4 food in the past year, but most of it was given by others, treated by others, or provided for free. This was the first time she bought it herself, and that was why she felt a little distressed.

Perhaps it was because she had not yet officially made money. Most of the funds on the card came from the rewards from the academy, including her promotion rewards, subsidies for her position in the student union, and another card for the club's activity fees.

Although the money on it was like an astronomical figure for her, it was not earned by herself after all, so she always felt that it was unreal.

If her sister was here, she would probably laugh at her again, saying that she was still so sensitive and advised her to read less psychological analysis books.

However, people are different. Now she has a deeper understanding of the simplicity and profoundness of this sentence. Everyone has their own favorite rhythm. After all, she is herself, not Themisia.

Now she no longer doubts herself and wastes herself because of the opinions of the outside world. Listen to your own voice, do what you want to do and what you think is right, do not distort yourself, do not deceive yourself, do not deny yourself, and be a frank and sincere person.

Today, I still have to work hard to pay off my debts 0 0/
