She is a cry...
Chapter 384 Brilliant as a Shooting Star
"Tilan, wake up~" Avni used her golden flame-like hair to gently touch the girl's cheek and called her name.
"Well, have I slept for a long time?" The girl propped herself up and looked around. It was still the dome-shaped swimming pool.
Although only fifteen minutes had passed, she felt as if she had slept for a long, long time, as if she were in another world.
"Fireworks are being set off." Avni pointed to the sky outside the dome.
In the pitch-black space, several flickering meteors streaked across, then exploded, bursting into colorful spots of light, burning loudly, and then dissipated.
This is a special space firework made in the interstellar era. It seems to be some kind of special energy particle. It will not leave any residue after blooming, and it can also be set off in an oxygen-free vacuum environment.
"Bang--"
Another bright yellow meteor streaked across the sky, shuttled through the dark night-like space, and then exploded. Thousands of golden threads fell, and stars twinkled in the meantime.
Many tourists in the space station stood in front of the transparent metal glass, looking at the fireworks outside.
"Mom, look at this."
"There's another blue and shining star over there~"
In order to celebrate the holding of this competition, the officials of the 'Red Stone Valley' space station spent a lot of thought. Such fireworks were specially prepared. Even the residents in the space have not seen them many times, let alone the young children.
"Oh, there are more, there are more, oooh, I can't see them." Seeing the fireworks flying past his sight, the child leaned against the glass anxiously.
"It's okay, don't worry, Dad will take you to the sky corridor to see." The father lifted the child up and walked quickly to the sky corridor connecting the modules in the space. These corridors are suspended up and down like bridges, in a space full of transparent metal glass panels, with excellent views.
At this time, many people gathered here. The spacious corridor bridge was full of residents and tourists, and many people held their personal terminals to take pictures.
In order to let the child see the fireworks outside, the father lifted him up and held him on his shoulders. Only then did the child cheer.
"See, this time it's a red star." Just as the child raised his hand to cheer, a red meteor bloomed, and countless brilliant points of light streaked across the night sky, and during the period, they kept spinning, producing small vortices of fragmentation, which was particularly beautiful.
In the high dome swimming pool, Tilan and her companions also admired the fireworks blooming in space.
For a time, the brilliant meteor light rain fell, illuminating the interior of the swimming pool and casting a mottled halo.
It's really beautiful. Even though I have seen the scene of fireworks blooming before, it seems to feel more different to watch it in space this time. The gorgeous meteors that are set off and the dark and unchanging background of space form a sharp contrast. One is hot and blazing, burning violently and vividly, and the other is cold and empty, eternal and unchanging.
Quietly watching the fireworks rise like meteors, bloom and fall, the three sat by the pool, and the flickering flashes outside were reflected in their eyes.
Slowly, Wei Ke closed his eyes, as if making a wish, and Avni also whispered her expectations.
"I hope I can successfully advance to Sequence 5 this year, and my family will be healthy..." After saying this, she turned her head and looked at Tilan, who was still stunned.
"Does Tilan have any wishes?"
"Wish?" The girl looked back, her voice somewhat ethereal.
"I hope to live my life like these gorgeous fireworks and meteors." She gave a different answer from what Avni imagined.
For her, after her family left one by one, she no longer had too many concerns, and Tilan was not very materialistic. Although she was a singer and had a mission, the names and expectations imposed by the world did not represent her original thoughts.
People will die. The first time she realized this was at her sister's funeral.
At that time, she was still a little confused and ignorant. She just followed the adults to complete the process, watched her sister buried and placed in the cemetery, and only the black and white dim photo on the tombstone was left, which simply narrated the life of the girl.
After that, her mother was very sad, and the atmosphere at home became dull and depressing.
The insomniac mother often slept poorly and became haggard. Even when facing Heshia, her smile was much less and became very forced.
After that, the mother also left. Although she told Heshiya not to be sad for her and to live strong before she left, Heshiya knew that she had lied at that time and could not be as strong as her mother asked. She locked herself in the room and cried for a long time in a daze.
This is death, eternal separation, never meeting again, forever becoming the past, and can only remain in memory.
It was clearly agreed that she would not cry because of this matter, but thinking of the past, the girl's eyes filled up again. With a blink, the warm and slightly salty liquid slid down her cheek and rolled into the water.
Shaking her head, Tilan looked at the space again. The meteors shining with sparks flew through the dark and cold space, and the long tails were particularly beautiful.
Another blooming, shattered light point also burned violently, releasing brilliant light and heat, so clear, so bright, so unswerving, inexplicably moving.
After a moment of brilliance, the remaining light spots dissipated in the vast starry sky, leaving no trace. Only the remaining light marks on the retina tell the beauty of the moment just now.
A hundred years of life is just a trance for the entire civilization, and the entire civilization may not even be a fraction of the billions of lifespans of the planet.
Everything is produced at a rapid speed, and everything falls and dissipates at a rapid speed. The continuation of civilization is the meaning of civilization, but this is not the obligation of every individual. Everyone still has to think and choose the meaning of life, or follow the mainstream in a trance to complete this journey, or awaken themselves, then jump out of the water and choose the direction they really like.
Although everyone's choice is different, everyone's ending is the same. Death is so equal, so equal that it makes people helpless and even desperate.
After finishing swimming, Tilan also lay on the beach chair by the pool, continuing to stare at the fireworks flying outside in a daze, thinking about many things, including familiar scenes in the past, and expected scenes in the future, etc.
This continued until she fell asleep again, but this time Avni and Wei Ke did not disturb her, and they even covered her with a bath towel to prevent the black-haired singer from catching a cold.
A quiet nap. With steady breathing, Tilan fell into a deeper sleep this time, and did not wake up until a long time later. At this time, nearly two hours had passed.
At this moment, Wei Ke was sitting by the pool, her calves swaying in the water. The personal terminal on her knees projected the game screen. She controlled the character to kill with a calm and indifferent expression. Her movements were decisive and skillful. It seemed that she was in a good mood at the moment, but the coldness she had always felt in the past was broken today.
On the other side, Avni was also taking a nap on a beach chair. The goldfish princess with blonde hair and a shawl had her legs slightly curled up, and her long golden hair was particularly bright against the dark background of the space.
