Meeting you, the branch manager who voluntarily offered to resign, is also to meet the people surrounding him.
The stargazers never expected things to turn out this way.
Compared to when she was first seen, Shirin's soul has changed and is no longer full of cracks.
So that's how it is. It seems she's finally no longer alone.
That little elf girl who had just joined the Watchers and would only hide in a corner to secretly shed tears and miss her family has now found a new family.
【family】
What a nostalgic word.
I... once had a family.
Thinking of those who had long since vanished into the river of time, the stargazer felt a pang of melancholy, but this feeling quickly faded away.
Time is the most ruthless thing, so ruthless that even this kind of pain can heal in the long wait.
The wounds deep in my soul still ache faintly, but no matter how painful it is, those people will never come back.
After thinking for a moment, the stargazer realized there was no need to ask the questions he originally intended to ask, so he changed his question and asked instead:
"Are you serious about that application, or is it just a protest?"
This question, rather than being a genuine inquiry, was more of an opportunity for Shirin to reconsider.
Are you really going to resign from that position?
In this space, stargazers want to hear the true thoughts deep within each other's souls.
"That was just a protest and a complaint. How could I give up such a comfortable and free life..."
She answered subconsciously, but as she spoke, Shirin's voice grew softer and softer, and she finally shut her mouth.
Frowning, she pondered in silence for a long time before finally raising her head again and softly saying:
"...No, I still want to resign."
Even though she was confused at the beginning, after really thinking it over, she had already come to a conclusion.
Xilin wants to stay by Ning Feng's side.
Instead of the current situation where Jiang Wan can leave with him while he can only stay in Bincheng.
Unlike now, where one wants to protect him in secret but can only hide their identity and disguise themselves to sneak in.
Even if a legend doesn't feel ashamed to be mixed up with a group of contestants, does she feel proud?
Xilin also felt uncomfortable, but that feeling was overshadowed by her desire to stay by Ning Feng's side.
She can do it, but that doesn't mean Shirin likes it; it makes her feel isolated.
“I don’t hate my responsibilities. Although I may not seem to put in much effort, that’s only when they can handle things themselves, and my strength is not necessary.”
The responsibilities she bore as a watcher, coupled with her desire to be by her lover's side, were two emotions that constantly intertwined and influenced her decisions.
But this difficult choice eventually came to a conclusion.
At the moment when Ning sealed her life in front of her.
The moment that damned prophecy came true, Shirin's spirit collapsed.
In that sorrowful moment, she understood what she truly cared about.
If an insignificant person dies in front of her, or even if it's a familiar colleague who sacrifices themselves, Shirin will be furious and will try to find a way to take revenge.
But she would never feel fear.
As Ning Feng's life continued to fade away, Xilin felt her own soul was also slipping away.
A huge void forms in the deepest part of the soul, wanting to devour all reason and fill it with slaughter.
I can't lose him.
Absolutely not.
Otherwise, I'll go crazy.
Truly insane.
"I want to be by his side."
“Even if it might lead to unfortunate situations for others, I… don’t want to change my mind.”
"I would rather be unhappy like him than be unhappy like him."
Some people say...
Love is blind; it can make people lose their minds.
Shirin didn't know if there was any truth to this, but she was calmer than usual at this moment.
She felt unusually rational at that moment, able to easily analyze her own heart and quickly sort out her previously chaotic thoughts.
Xilin knew clearly what she truly wanted and what she couldn't give up.
A strange glint flashed in the stargazer's lowered eyes; he hadn't expected Shirin to give such a frank and straightforward reaction.
Yeah?
That's your idea.
The stargazer slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.
Somewhat naive, but not false.
As a stargazer of the Watchers, she might point out the selfishness in Shirin's choice.
But as a stargazer herself, she didn't dislike Shirin's naive idea.
Humans are emotional beings.
Everyone has different choices; they are the ones who make the choices, and they are also the ones who bear the consequences.
Some people call this fate.
But stargazers only see it as a choice.
There's a road; some people go left, and some go right.
That's all.
The sight of the stargazer closing his eyes and shaking his head made Xilin a little nervous. Even in this state, she still had a natural fear of her leader.
Opening his eyes, the Stargazer looked at Shirin's intertwined hands in front of him and smiled silently as he watched her fingers constantly overlapping.
Then, she calmly said:
"I understand your choice."
"We are the watchmen, but we never force everyone to watch over us."
As the stargazer slowly spoke, the dim stars on the dome of space lit up once more.
