determination
In the early morning, rays of sunlight shine on the playground.
The sun had just risen, and the gradually dispersing clouds were still shimmering with a faint colorful light. It was obvious at first glance that it was a very good day.
The school held a graduation ceremony for ten special graduates on this day.
Since we have been together here for five years, it is only natural that we should put a perfect end to it here.
The teachers were all there. Teacher Jingyu held the graduation certificates and a graduation gift he had made himself, and handed them out one by one. The students took them with both hands, and he took the last one himself.
When they first arrived, although they were adults, they had not yet entered society. They had green faces and were full of youthful vigor.
The teacher likes to call them children with a smile.
Their teacher looked young, but was very experienced and took every step with ease.
Today, they have achieved their goal of studying here and have grown up, but their teacher seems to have not changed, still gentle and bright.
Even, I still like to call them kids, little classmates, and little guys.
Teacher Jingyu was the first to applaud them: "Happy graduation!"
"What is the gift?" Yin Zian asked.
When I asked, Heshun had already opened the gift box.
It turned out to be a ruler, made of sandalwood, and it smelled pleasant. On top were two elegant words engraved: "No regrets."
If you don't have to regret anything you do in your life, it must be a very happy life.
Xi Zhou looked at it and felt that it was like her teacher's advice to her.
"This is just a little token of my love for you. I hope you will never regret it." said Teacher Jingyu.
Their graduation ceremony wasn't long, and the audience wasn't too large. So there weren't any grand speeches, just everyone gave their best wishes and gifts, and took a group photo as a souvenir.
Xi Zhou also said that she wanted to keep the things and take two more pictures tomorrow. Everyone was surprised because she was not a photo lover, but after all, it was graduation, so it was understandable that she wanted to do anything.
There were so many things that they couldn’t fit into my bag, which became a happy trouble. In the end, I had to put them all into the space ring.
In addition, in order to avoid making things look awkward during the ceremony, the teachers wrote down what they wanted to say most with pen and paper.
After we get off the stage, we can gather together happily like we did after school, lie under the big tree, and quietly read the teacher's words word by word.
“
Xi Zhou:
Congratulations on your graduation. You've grown into a truly remarkable young woman. Did you know? When I first met you five years ago, you already shone brightly in the crowd. You were fragile yet strong, sensitive yet gentle. I think you were timid then because you hadn't found your direction. Choosing you as my class representative was no accident; you should have believed in yourself from the very beginning. Now that you have your own direction, you must believe in yourself even more.
Your abilities deserve glory, and your heart deserves love and protection.
Let me tell you something: over the past five years, you've felt like giving up and crying for various reasons, probably 70 or 80 times, but in the end, you've only failed to face up to the challenge once! Surprising, right? Similarly, Yan Ning has experienced numerous anxieties about the responsibility of class monitor, and Lu Lanting is often plagued by doubts. You've all been doing a fantastic job on your projects.
If you miss your teacher after graduation, remember to come back and visit often.
During the Jingzhe and Guyu periods, the sky brightens after the rain and a rainbow hangs in the sky.
——Your teacher, Jing Yu Ming Ji"
Xi Zhou stretched out a finger and traced the last 12 words printed on the letter paper.
A ray of light streamed through the leaves and fell onto the letter. The ink had just dried, and you could feel the subtle scent of it.
There was a sudden rain, and then the sky cleared up.
This is probably the meaning of the teacher's name. I heard that in the world of Xinghe, names are given by oneself.
She took a deep breath, read all the messages from the teachers, and put them away carefully.
"Have you finished reading? It seems to be getting a little late." Yan Ning said, "His Royal Highness Luo Zhaoyu invited us to dinner at 5 pm. Let's go."
Xi Zhou also remembered that he still had things he wanted to do, nodded, and stood up, "Let's go."
His Highness Luo Zhaoyu, His Highness Qi Chi, and His Highness Fu Xiao were already waiting for them in the dining room. Seeing them enter from afar, they stood up from their chairs, bowed slightly, and chanted blessings, "May the stars shine upon you."
“May the stars shine upon you.”
After the formal meeting, they sat down.
Xi Zhou spoke first without hesitation, "Your Highness, I have something to tell you after dinner."
Luo Zhaoyu glanced at her and nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated what was going on.
"Okay." Luo Zhaoyu said.
Perhaps because the occasion was too formal, everyone did not relax and only took a bite or two of the fish in the bowl from time to time.
Qi Chi felt like he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hey, don't be so serious, smile!" He patted Luo Zhaoyu and stood up happily. "It's just a celebration party to congratulate everyone on their victory."
"Come on, let's have a toast!"
Because he livened up the atmosphere, everyone started laughing.
He continued, "After you succeed, we'll have confidence too! Have you checked out that class? They've recruited twenty new students. I think world peace won't be a dream in the future!"
"But there's one difference."
"Those twenty students don't have special past lives like you. They are native locals. But... maybe such people have stronger feelings for their homeland?" Qi Chi shook his head and took a few sips of wine.
"Will such a plan affect the balance of the world? Life and death are more in line with the law, right?" Lu Lanting asked.
She even thought about whether her own world should be saved for a long time, not to mention so many other times.
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come to a conclusion. Lu Lanting pondered while picking at the food on his plate and simply asked.
Dawn shook her head.
"Don't worry. All coincidences are inevitable, and everything we do is just a part of fate. Those who are meant to stay will survive no matter how many crises they face, and those who are meant to leave will never be saved no matter how hard we try."
Lu Lanting nodded, accepting Fuxiao's answer.
But there are many other questions in my mind.
Where is destiny?
What is the meaning of human will...?
When Xi Zhou saw Lu Lanting fall into thought again, he knew that this was indeed her lifelong subject, and she would spend her entire life exploring various issues that interested her.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was full and satisfied.
Xu Sui'an also secretly joked with Heshun, "It's worthy of being the meal prepared by the royal chef. It tastes much better than what you cook."
Heshun: "Haha, then I'll change my career to become a chef, and the slogan will be "Only slightly inferior to the Royal Chef". Do you think this slogan is attractive?"
"Come on, it's a little less than ten thousand chips." Yan Ning said with a smile.
Heshun was dissatisfied and clamored for justice from Yan Ning, "How can it be so exaggerated! You are slandering me!"
"No way. I'm innocent." Yan Ning enjoyed bickering with him.
Xi Zhou ignored their childish behavior, put down his cutlery and stood up.
When Luo Zhaoyu saw this, he understood what was going on.
The two walked together, not talking about business for the time being, just chatting about random things.
"The flowers here are well-growthed," Xi Zhou said.
"Lily of the valley, you should like it." Luo Zhaoyu said.
"That building is also very beautiful." Xi Zhou pointed over there.
"...My bedroom."
He walked all the way to the garden and then went into the secret room.
It's big and spacious inside, and it looks like anything can be done there.
Luo Zhaoyu signaled Xi Zhou with his eyes.
Xi Zhou was still in no hurry to speak. He gathered his thoughts for a while before looking directly into Luo Zhaoyu's eyes and speaking seriously, "I hope I can be human again."
Luo Zhaoyu seemed to have known this for a long time and was not surprised when he heard it. He just asked, "Have you thought it through?"
In fact, Xi Zhou was not sure if she could do this, and only asked with the intention of trying. But looking at Luo Zhaoyu's expression, it seemed that she could do it.
"I can't." Luo Zhaoyu smiled, "But some people can. When people become extremely powerful, they can transform themselves or others into other races. You became a god because of this, not because of your past life."
Luo Zhaoyu did not say who that person was, but in short, he was a very powerful person.
"Have you thought it through? Once you make this decision, there's no turning back."
"Besides, every change comes at a price. You might lose your longevity, your strength..."
"As a human, the speed of cultivation is also slower than that of a god."
"I've thought it through." She said these four simple words calmly, but firmly and forcefully.
Xi Zhou said: "I thought about it for a long time, but I think I still hope to survive as a human being."
"Perhaps it's because... God and man are fundamentally different. Just like God can be friends with man, man's love for God is different from man's love for man."
Luo Zhaoyu nodded without commenting on it, as if it didn't matter to her: "Just think it through."
The whole process was quick and there was nothing complicated or special about it.
What's more, the secret room is large and spacious, so you can perform as you please without worrying about being affected by anyone.
This time, the process of turning back into a human was like taking a bath. The trickle of water came from nowhere, flowed through every inch of the body, and went to nowhere.
Something in her body was carried away by the water and would never come back.
At the same time, it also brought something that took root deeply in the flesh and blood and never left.
When the golden light slowly faded away and Xi Zhou opened his eyes again, Luo Zhaoyu could only see her own light.
At the same time, there was only herself.
Luo Zhaoyu's speculation wasn't entirely groundless; it had indeed become reality. Besides her divine identity, her entire power had also been lost in a trickle. If she wanted to regain her power, she'd probably have to start all over again.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Luo Zhaoyu asked.
Xi Zhou shook his head, smiled brightly, and had no regrets.
This was her first, carefully considered decision concerning herself.
Maybe no one would understand why she did such a thankless task. But she didn't care, because those who were willing to understand her would naturally understand.
"I can't wait to go back and see their reactions," Xi Zhou said with a smile.
