Extra: If the Galaxy Doesn't Exist
Milky Way
The college entrance exams were over, and the university applications were filled. Everyone went their separate ways, accepted into schools all over the world. But the relationships remained strong, and we often got together during the winter and summer vacations. After graduation, we all took different, sometimes similar, paths.
Xi Zhou, Yan Ning and He Shun became Chinese teachers, history teachers and geography teachers respectively. Perhaps because they were tired of studying, they all ended up becoming junior high school teachers.
Lu Lanting became a surgeon.
Xu Sui is now safely and securely employed by the government.
"Everyone, are you free this Saturday? Do you want to get together and go back to visit your alma mater?" Heshun opened his phone and sent messages to his friends.
"Okay." Everyone responded.
When the time came, everyone gathered at the school gate. The last one to arrive was Lu Lanting, who had just finished an operation.
She said, "Are you all waiting for me?"
Heshun asked, "Do you have your ID card with you?"
Lu Lanting shook his head blankly.
"...We need our ID to get in. Otherwise, we'll have to wait for the teacher to pick us up." Heshun sighed, "The teacher said she has classes in the morning and doesn't have time to pick us up. We can only stay here."
The sun was blazing, and we were all fragile adults who hadn't exercised all year. Soon, I started to feel unwell, hiding behind the bus stop and then wandering around the gate, trying to catch any of the teachers.
The five of them were squatting at the school gate, but luckily, they soon saw a familiar-looking teacher out looking for food. Heshun stepped forward, muttered something, and led everyone into the campus smoothly.
The campus has completely changed. The uniforms are uglier, the curriculum is more compact, and decibel meters are installed in the classrooms.
However, there are some good changes, such as the free video call function and the new coffee shop on campus...
"It's a good thing I graduated early." After a walk around, Heshun sighed.
I walked around for a while and saw that the get out of class was about to end, so I squatted at the door of the homeroom teacher.
The teacher was still inside criticizing the students, saying things like "work hard, homework, etc." Even after class ended, he wouldn't let them go, making them recite the Analects first.
Yan Ning poked Xi Zhou and said, "Come on, Xi Zhou, recite it again."
Successfully earned a glare from Xi Zhou.
No one played around too much, as they were afraid that the noise would affect the teaching.
After class, the students rushed out of the classroom. When the teacher packed up the textbooks, he saw five people still standing outside the door like students. He greeted them with a smile and took them to the cafeteria for lunch without saying anything. He left them no room for refusal.
At first I felt embarrassed. How could I let the teacher treat me?
The teachers were more enthusiastic than the last, each offering to buy us something to eat. When we were invited to the coffee shop for snacks for the fourth time, we were all a little shy and at a loss.
"Hurry up and pick one." The teacher urged while selecting the products.
"The teacher gave it to you, so just take it. Why are you standing there?" The clerk also urged with a smile.
As the sky gradually darkened and it was time to leave school, the students happily left with their backpacks, ready to enjoy the weekend. They also followed the crowd out of the school gate, the five of them looking at each other.
"Since I came back, I haven't stopped eating and I haven't been hungry," said Lu Lanting.
"Me too."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
The fierce teacher in my memory turned out to be so different from what I remembered.
Tianhe
After graduating from the Magic Academy, Hua Shaoqing and Yin Zian both successfully entered the Mage Tower and quickly became the leading magicians, becoming famous.
Thanks to the Magicians Association, Hua Shaoqing and Yin Zian met during their in-depth study of magic and became close friends.
Yu Huiyan also grew into a dangerous and powerful demon, and still often traveled with Hua Shaoqing.
Jinghong was sent out of the magic forest by his sister, but he soon went back. The brother and sister took great efforts and finally solved the internal and external troubles.
Fu Linyuan left the Nether Valley and searched alone for a place that was always bright and beautiful.
He heard that in the Far North, further north than the Nether Valley, there was a treasure that could bring eternal light and lasting happiness.
So he decided to set off.
The journey was long and difficult, but he met several like-minded companions: Hua Shaoqing from the human race, Jing Hong from the demon race, Yu Huiyan from the monster race, and Yin Zian from the mixed-race race.
They decided to search for the legendary treasure together.
After several dangerous situations, Fu Linyuan saw another short life of his own in an illusion.
He was lively and enthusiastic, brave and fearless. He actually made so many friends in one school and even sacrificed his life to protect others in times of crisis.
The vision asked him, "Do you regret it?"
A person who has died once, or a ghost, cherishes his life the most. Logically speaking, he does not need to hesitate at all, and it is absolutely impossible for him to disregard his life for others.
But he hesitated.
He thought for a long time, and finally shook his head. "Regret is not my style, challenge is."
If he encounters such a dangerous situation again, he will challenge it and try to get out of it better.
After that vision, the bond between the five grew deeper. The treasure they were searching for gradually became less important, and at times, they even wished the search would continue forever, with no end in sight.
When this thought occurs, the treasure no longer seems so difficult to find. Perhaps it is because some precious things are only readily available when they are no longer needed.
In short, they found the treasure.
The name of the treasure is "love".
With it, the five people saw every beautiful and sincere emotion in the infinite world, which could be love, friendship, family affection, teacher-student affection, and love for oneself...
They connect people of different races, genders and even worlds.
With the help of this treasure, they led people who had love in their hearts like them, resolved the long-standing war between gods and demons, and prevented half-bloods from becoming "heretics."
Later, they relied on this love to resolve an unprecedented crisis - the invasion of a strange energy.
They even wander in the love of different worlds and tell others how to solve the crisis.
Those who had formed a loving connection with them also came to safety.
These stories were written down and sealed in books.
Later, some people always thought that this was a fairy tale to trick children, an impossible utopia. But there is no way, love is so magical and so charming, and those who do not have such pure and flawless love will certainly never understand it.
