Chapter 104 Humming Softly
The empty room, the cold wall backlight reflects the interior, one of the walls is a huge transparent metal, this glass-like wall outside is the vast and distant starry sky, not far away, a silvery white planet is slowly rotating, the huge planet occupies most of the exterior, so eye-catching, and unforgettable.
This is the 'Biaxial Crystal U-3' space station, located in the third planet orbit of the Sinaifa α system, about 500,000 people live here.
The lonely guitar sound rang in this room, the guitar was played by a girl with silver green hair, she sat on a U-shaped single sofa, legs crossed, guitar placed in front of her, fingers occasionally brushed, bringing a slightly lazy tone.
The lonely environment, the only and smart guitar sound, against the background of the starry sky, has a special beauty, like a small heart, in the middle of the night when no one is around, swimming in time and memory.
The simple tune was played again and again, the melody turned again and again, and finally returned to calm.
The fingertips left the plectrum and the strings, and lightly danced on the personal terminal beside them. After a burst of input, the room began to sound the broadcast.
[Good afternoon, this is the Four Leaf Crystal Star Region Two Axis Crystal U-3 Space Living Station, time 16:34:17, the last quarter moon phase.]
[You have three unread messages, one of which is a greeting from your mother, and the other party's tone seems a little anxious.
"Skip it, next one." "
Okay, the second message is that your classmates invite you to attend a graduation party in four days at the tourist restaurant in Area C12 of the space station."
"Reject, next one."
"Okay, the third message is the admission instructions from 'Edes Academy', which contains what you need to prepare for admission and the registration matters."
"Read it to me."
"Okay, there are 12 items in the instructions. The first one is that new students must arrive at Edes Academy before September 2nd. The following week is the time to arrange accommodation and purchase daily necessities... Article 4, the opening ceremony will be held on September 10th, and all students are requested to wear school uniforms... Article 7, if you want to keep a pet in the academy, its weight must not exceed 8KG, and it is only allowed to live in the dormitory area and cannot be brought into the study area..."
The girl read out the instructions one by one in the room. She put down the guitar in her hand, walked across the silver-white metal floor, came to the windowsill, looked at the slowly rotating silver-white planet outside, raised her palm, and slowly stroked the transparent window wall.
"It's time to go, Silver Spoon."
'Silver Spoon', Sinaifa Alpha System, the third planet, is famous for the special 'white crystal thulium' on the planet. This kind of metal thulium in the universe is a special extraordinary metal transformed by the stimulation of the Ekakar particles. It has a unique use in space-related equations and is one of the necessary materials for superluminal engines. It is extremely precious.
In order to better mine the special minerals on this planet and protect the unmined parts of the planet from being polluted, the Federation established the 'Biaxial Crystal U-3' space station hundreds of years ago. Most of the residents living here serve the companies that mine crystals, and their income level is much higher than the average level of the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain, roughly the same as the prosperous star domain.

Emerald Skirt, North District 7, outside Arpeggio City.
The green and white sightseeing vehicle is driving on the yellow Gobi Desert. The double-decker sightseeing vehicle is not crowded. Tourists are sitting scattered around, blowing the wind by the window, looking at the desolate and empty scenery outside.
Although there is nothing, it also makes people feel inexplicably relaxed. This is probably the sequelae of living underground for a long time.
"Tilan, do you want to eat this?" Yilin opened the box in front of her. Inside were six neatly arranged egg tarts, still a little warm. A light yellow milk fragrance could be smelled when she sniffed carefully.
Tilan was leaning against the car window at the moment, looking at the scenery outside, but her mind seemed to be drifting far away.
Hearing Yilin's question, she turned around, hummed softly, took the egg tart handed by Yilin, and then ate it in small bites. Although it seemed unintentional, there was no residue left. It seemed that she could always bite off a small piece just right without letting the edge break.
Yilin just watched Tilan eat. The wind outside the window blew from time to time, lifting their hair a little. Time swayed at this moment.
It was half an hour later when the two arrived at their destination and got off the car.
Stepping on the soft sandy ground, a tall semicircular glass building came into view. This botanical garden in the desert and wilderness is very eye-catching, attracting people from several surrounding cities to come and watch.
"Let's go in." Yilin held Tilan's hand, and the two walked in side by side.
In terms of height, the two were almost the same. Yilin wore a black short skirt and a white fitted top with slightly wide cuffs and lace folds. The collar was tied with a black ribbon, which was low-key and elegant.
Tilan wore a light blue dress today, with a sun hat on her head. Her delicate hair fell on her shoulders, revealing the unique tenderness and beauty of a girl.
After checking the tickets at the gate, the two walked into the slightly cool hall and could clearly hear the echo from the ground.
On the walls of the hall were hung a series of moving and poetic oil paintings, in which the flowers and leaves were particularly bright and beautiful against the bright colors.
After walking through the hall, the two continued to walk into the side door and officially entered the botanical garden for a tour.
Compared with the dry and desolate world outside, the air here is obviously more humid. Green grass grows between the white striped floors. Walking through in sandals, you can feel the slight itchiness and tenderness of the grass leaves brushing against you.
There are white fences on both sides of the road, and plants of different shapes are scattered among them. Some are tall and lush trees, whose canopies extend to the top of the botanical garden, casting some shade and covering the shrubs below.
Leaves are symmetrically distributed on the branches, and then the branches overlap and hang down naturally. Clusters of goose yellow flowers bloom together, similar to the shape of trumpets, but the lines are slightly fuller and slightly cute.
"What kind of tree is this?" Yilin and Tilan stood under this tree, looking at the clusters of goose yellow flowers hanging down from the green branches above their heads.
"It's the yellow bell flower under the Bignoniaceae family. It used to be often seen on the roadside or in the garden of the Jade Skirt." Tilan remembered what she had learned before.
"Oh, it's pretty."
Yilin raised her hand and gently stroked the petals with her fingertips, feeling the slight fluff and a little powder on the petals.
After that, the two continued to move forward, and many small flowers began to bloom in the shrubs on both sides. These white flowers were arranged vertically in a row, with a natural and consistent beauty.
"What about this one?" Yilin continued to ask.
"This is a white bell flower. Although it is only one character different from a yellow bell flower, it is a plant of the Campanulaceae family." The girl shook her head, feeling that the staff of the botanical garden deliberately put these two flowers with similar names together.
"Tilan is really amazing~"
"No, because there is a sign over there." The girl pointed to the corner behind the bushes, where a small white sign was placed diagonally on the ground, obscured by the surrounding flowers and plants, and was not obvious.
"Oh, Tilan has a really good vision." Yilin also saw the sign at this time.
The two held hands and walked in the botanical garden, stopping from time to time to admire the natural flowers that were hard to see underground. Then Yilin would tell Tilan many things, including the novelty of plants, the beauty and cuteness of flowers, Tilan's childhood, etc.
Although they talked about trivial things, there was a kind of light leisure sweetness.
Unknowingly, the two had turned around most of the botanical garden and came to a round pavilion to rest. Tea and biscuits were provided here for the tourists to sit and enjoy, replenishing the physical energy consumed during the tour.
On the horizontal chair, the two of them leaned against each other and closed their eyes to take a nap, and the time passed slowly.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after visiting the botanical garden, the two took the sightseeing bus for the return trip.
"Today has passed so quickly." Yilin looked at the sun outside the window, which was no longer scorching, and the breeze was also less hot.
"Let's go out and play together next time~" Yilin looked at Tilan beside her.
"Yeah."
Compared with a month ago, Tilan's voice now has a faint laziness, not as nervous as before, perhaps she is also enjoying the rare leisure time with friends.
"Hehe, Tilan is still the same as before." Yilin suddenly laughed.
"Huh?" The girl was puzzled.
"When you are in a good mood, it's like a person humming a song alone in the corner." Yilin recalled the scenes when the two of them got along in the past, and said metaphorically.
"Although it may not be true that he was humming a song, the faint and happy expression is exactly the same."
"Let's be together in the future, don't hide in the corner alone anymore, we all care about you."
"Yeah, I know." The girl nodded slightly formally.
Under the bright blue sky, the green and white sightseeing bus drove through the desolate Gobi Desert. The summer breeze blew, and on the distant horizon, the shadows of the sun and the tower slowly overlapped.
