Mo Sifan remained unusually calm and pulled Yun Nuan off him.
"Nuannuan, be good. Mommy has to go back to the base soon. Don't cry. Just listen to what mommy has to say for a while."
Yun Nuan sobbed: "I thought you wouldn't leave... Why did you leave again..."
Mo Sifan patted her head lovingly. "Just like a young tree is busy growing taller and a seed is busy sprouting, you are busy growing up. Mommy also has her own things to do."
Yun Nuan has always known that her mother is different from other mothers.
When she was in Huangni Village, the mothers of other children were busy taking care of their children every day, but her mother was busy with many other things besides taking care of her children.
One of the boxes is for physical training and fighting training.
She goes up the mountain twice a day, runs 20 kilometers, and does 200 push-ups every day.
Her muscles are firm, full of strength and energy, like a spinning top that never gets tired.
She seemed to have a strong belief in her heart that supported her to do this day after day.
Yun Nuan only now understood that her mother's dream was to become an astronaut.
Mom is not just her mom, she is herself first.
Everyone has a wish that they want to fulfill. Yun Nuan certainly hopes that her mother’s dream can come true just like hers.
So, when she knew her mother was leaving, she was reluctant to let her go, but she gradually accepted this established fact.
"Mom, when will you come back?"
Mo Sifan couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth, but in order to give Yun Nuan a glimmer of hope, she made up a deadline.
"I'll be back on your eighteenth birthday."
Everyone was shocked.
Is it going to take so long?
Although one year on Earth is just a drop in the ocean compared to one light-year in space, with current aerospace technology, it is an unprecedented challenge for humans to live in space for twelve years.
According to the latest records, it takes about two years for the Yun people to travel to and from Mars.
This means that if Mo Sifan stays in the spacecraft and moves forward, the place he goes to will be six times the distance of Mars.
With current technology, it seems that we can't go to planets farther than Mars?
Is it through supernatural power?
Shen Junyan always felt that twelve years was an outrageous time. He was about to say something, but was secretly stopped by Su Jisheng.
The two looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes.
But as if they all understood each other, Shen Junyan suppressed his impulse and kept his mouth shut.
"Nuannuan, if you miss your mother, just look at the sky. Our spacecraft will move slowly in the sky, just like the stars."
Yun Nuan had already cried herself to tears. She grabbed Mo Sifan's hand and said, "Mom, you have to miss me too. I will wait for you to come back..."
Mo Sifan couldn't help crying, she hugged the little girl and put her forehead against hers. "My dear child, please forgive me for not being able to grow up with you, but I know you will continue to live a happy life, right? Today is your birthday, and so many good friends are here. They all love you very much. So, Nuannuan, don't think that the whole world doesn't want you just because I'm gone."
Then she added: "Of course, no matter where I am, I will miss you very, very much."
Yun Nuan cried until her eyes were swollen. She nodded continuously: "Mom, I will miss you too."
Mo Sifan kissed her cheek reluctantly, then kissed her forehead.
This trip will be dangerous and your life will be in danger.
She thought that she might not be able to reunite with her daughter on the day she turned eighteen, and she couldn't help but look at Shen Junyan and Su Jisheng.
If she didn't come back, she planned to let these two help her carry out a bold plan.
