Chapter 48 Shooting Stars and Wishes



The sound of orioles and swallows chirping is the sound of lonely men and women studying hard late at night.

But after just a few minutes, the room where the sound came from fell silent.

Only the faintest breathing sound remained.

Suddenly a female voice spoke from the room: "It's okay, 3 minutes is already very long!"

It seems like he is comforting a friend who is not studying hard.

I only studied for 3 minutes, which means I don’t like studying at all. Of course, it may also be that I just can’t learn.

Ning Yu had a keen sense of hearing and could tell that it was Sun Jiao's voice.

She immediately guessed that since Sun Jiao had been flirting with Fatty Zhao during the day, the man in the room must be that fat guy.

"Boss Zhao, what about food?"

Sun Jiao's weak voice sounded from the room again, and then there was a rustling sound in the room.

After a while, the door handle of the room was turned, and it seemed that someone was about to come out.

Ning Yu hid in the shadows. The corridor was very dark and she merged into the darkness.

Sure enough, it was Sun Jiao who appeared from the room, with a charming and flattering smile on her face.

His clothes were disheveled and his face was flushed, obviously he had just studied hard.

The door closed with a click and she walked out of the room.

Her expression changed noticeably from the moment the door closed.

Ning Yu read it out: emptiness, loneliness and disgust.

She had some food stuffed in her arms, obviously given to her by Fatty Zhao.

There must have been a transaction between the two of them, and no one knows how many times the transaction was carried out.

The disgust on her face was not just disgust at this kind of thing, it seemed more like disgust at herself.

Sun Jiao has been trying to please Fatty Zhao just to maintain this deal.

She had no choice. Without food, she couldn't maintain her final dignity.

The fear of zombies and death overcame her shame, and she chose to sell her looks and exchange her body for food, which was her last capital.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the end times.

Suddenly, Sun Jiao seemed to notice Ning Yu's gaze, and she asked in panic, "Who? Who's there?"

The voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, as if afraid of being heard.

It was really hard to see clearly in the corridor. Sun Jiao didn't react at all and thought it was just her illusion.

He turned around and took the food back to his room.

After a while, Ning Yu walked out from the darkness.

Although this transaction was just a minor episode, she had no intention of returning to her room. She just locked the door to prevent anyone from attacking Shen Yiyue.

Then we walked along the corridor and set foot on the road leading to the rooftop of the gymnasium.

She was thinking about what Shen Yiyue had said and couldn't sleep.

I was just interrupted by this little episode, so I decided to go to the rooftop to get some fresh air.

The rooftop of the gymnasium is very empty, with basically nothing on it, but the view is pretty good.

The rooftop was a little chilly, but Ning Yu was not afraid of the cold.

When she got up there, she looked up at the endless starry sky.

Since the city has lost its lights, the Milky Way has appeared instead. Perhaps it has been like this for tens of thousands of years, shining brightly forever.

Not many people can appreciate such a charming night view. Unlike the beauty in the sky, the world on earth has become a purgatory, with zombies and monsters rampant.

Her silver-white hair floated slightly in the night breeze under the faint starlight, as soft and delicate as a willow branch being blown.

Ning Yu raised her amber eyes, and the stars were reflected in her beautiful pupils, as if they were received in her eyes.

Her small and delicate body stood here, looking up, speechless for a moment, as if she was having a silent conversation.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind me.

Ning Yu did not take the knife, but a silver crossbow quickly appeared from his clothes.

"Sister Ning Yu?"

The person who came up was actually Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan was obviously a little surprised. She didn't expect that there was someone on the rooftop.

Ning Yu, who was in front of him, was wearing a black vest dress and bathing in the starlight. There was no expression on her delicate face, only indifference.

Suddenly she looked back at herself, with the endless starry sky as her backdrop.

The scene was so beautiful that Bai Xuan was stunned: Sister Ning Yu, could she be an angel from the moon? How could she be so beautiful? "Bai Xuan? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Ning Yu broke the silence first and asked her.

"I can't sleep. Whenever I feel like this, I go to the rooftop to get some fresh air."

Bai Xuan felt a little shy, as if her secret base had been discovered.

Ning Yu came up, gently took Bai Xuan's hand and said, "Come on, watch the stars with me."

Bai Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly with a happy look on her face:

"Okay!"

I have always been alone enjoying the breeze and watching the stars, but today I finally have a companion, and it’s my favorite sister Ning Yu.

The two of them sat next to each other on the steps of the rooftop.

Bai Xuan also took in the starry sky and felt the night breeze.

The rooftop of the gymnasium is relatively high, so there is no stench of zombies.

There is a familiar smell of summer in the breeze, as if I could return to normal life by closing my eyes.

Bai Xuan was immersed in this illusory beauty.

She didn't open her eyes until Ning Yu patted her.

Suddenly, there was a lollipop in front of me. It was strawberry flavored and it was Ning Yu’s personal collection.

She was showing a gentle smile and said to Bai Xuan: "This is the mysterious reward for accompanying my sister to watch the stars."

Bai Xuan subconsciously wanted to refuse. If it were before the end of the world, she could eat as many lollipops as she wanted.

But since the disaster broke out, she and her classmates have often been hungry. They eat whatever they can get and are lucky to have anything to eat.

It has been a long time since she last tasted a lollipop, and she has begun to imagine the sour and sweet taste of strawberry.

My mouth has begun to drool.

"Sister Ning Yu, this is really..."

Before Bai Xuan could finish her refusal, Ning Yu had already peeled off the wrapping paper and handed it to her, leaving no room for refusal.

She had no choice but to take it, but she couldn't help feeling a little happy inside, because what child doesn't like sweets?

Ning Yu took out another one with the same flavor and put it in her mouth.

"Look over there."

"That's Perseus over there."

Ning Yu began to point out the stars in the sky to Bai Xuan and explain them to her.

Bai Xuan was stunned as she listened, looking at Ning Yu's amber eyes sparkling under the night sky.

She really wanted a sister like this.

On the empty rooftop, two little girls, one big and one small, sat on the steps admiring the Milky Way together.

One was pointing to the sky and saying something, while the other was listening attentively.

"Wow! Sister Ning Yu, look! A shooting star!"

There was a white light spot with a tail moving in the sky. It was indeed a meteor.

Bai Xuan's face was full of excitement. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together and began to make a wish.

Ning Yu looked at her calmly and waited for her to finish her wish.

"Sister Ning Yu, don't you want to make a wish?"

After making a wish, Bai Xuan looked at the indifferent Ning Yu with an innocent and curious look.

Make a wish?

Do I have any wishes?

Wish for world peace? That kind of thing has nothing to do with me. I don't have any wishes.

Ning Yu thought to herself with self-mockery, but lied to Bai Xuan and said, "Sister has already made a wish, Bai Xuan, what wish did you make?"

When Bai Xuan heard Ning Yu's question, she immediately showed a hesitant look:

"Mom said that wishes won't come true if you speak them out loud."

"But Sister Ning Yu can still speak!"

Bai Xuan quickly made up her mind, her little face full of desire to talk: "I hope Teacher Zhang can find a big~~~~ pile of food right away! So that everyone can have something to eat!"

Bai Xuan's watery eyes were full of hope, and when she said the word "big", she even gestured exaggeratedly with her hands.

Ning Yu smiled and touched her head when she heard that.

The two continued to admire the starry sky.

It's another quiet and beautiful summer night.

There was just one thing that Ning Yu didn't say, and of course she didn't intend to say it.
