Endless Silver Machine

There is no such beauty as the fiery red sunset in winter, and the only basis for symbolizing the passage of time is the gradually dimming light outside the window.

"By the way, how are you going to spend the day after tomorrow? Where are you going to have fun?"

"We won't skip class with you."

"I haven't skipped class either! No, no, I'm not talking about this. Don't you have any plans for God's rare birthday?"

"God's birthday?"

"Ah, it's already that time!"

Luoluo and Ling showed two completely different reactions.

"Sister Ling, what is the birthday of God?"

"Are you kidding..."

"Brother, do you know?"

"No, absolutely no idea."

The brother and sister both looked at the other three people blankly. The three people who were speechless showed their eyes as if they were looking at exotic animals.

"Aika, Luoluo, how do you spend this time of year..."

"The last few days of December? Remember that mom and dad would prepare a sumptuous dinner to celebrate the safe end of the year..."

"That's right, this is the time of year when we eat the most sumptuous food."

Aika nodded in agreement.

"Although every family is similar in form, it's pretty much what you said. But it's a pity that you have been kept in the dark all this time..." Qiu Ke spread his hands, "By the way, our family is also the only one here. It will be a good meal a day!”

"Isn't there some kind of religious group in the Bisi Empire? What's the name of the one they believe in..."

"Saint?"

"Yes, that's the saint. It is said that she was one of the brave men who led the end of the 'cross-border war', and she was also the only human among them. Therefore, in order to commemorate this saint, the Bisi Empire set her birth date as It’s now ‘God’s Birthday’.”

Under Wei Xi's reminder, Ling remembered the stories she heard from her parents when she was a child.

Ling and Wei Xi actually knew about God's birthday. The former had completely forgotten about it because he had been immersed in reviewing day after day recently, while the latter noticed the movement of dates, but after seeing that no one had talked about the upcoming After the festival came, she gave up her plan to bring this matter up.

"I completely forgot... In that case, will you have a holiday the day after tomorrow?"

"There will be a holiday, and it will be for two days." Qiu Ke raised two fingers to Ling, "But the theoretical test is right after that, so I can't relax and play at all!"

"This is really unfortunate..."

Qiu Ke's words extinguished everyone's originally high mood. When it comes to vacations, they should be spent without any burden.

"But what should be done specifically on God's birthday?" Luoluo, who learned about this festival for the first time, felt that there should be some profound meaning in it, "It shouldn't be possible to just have a sumptuous dinner and then be done with it, right? "

"There doesn't seem to be anything special in my impression..."

"No, no, no, actually..." Qiu Ke looked at the faces of the four people in front of him, "God's birthday is a holiday for lovers!"

"L-lover?"

"My lover, that's what I'm talking about, right..."

Ling and Luoluo looked at each other and immediately looked away.

"Yes, even if we are not lovers yet, God's birthday often becomes a good opportunity. This is a consensus among girls."

The current topic has nothing to do with learning at all.

Qiu Ke also participated in the preparation of dinner. After dinner, she got on the train home.

"We will continue tomorrow!"

In order to spend the two days of vacation well, she really worked hard... If she could maintain this kind of motivation, she wouldn't have to run so hard between her home and Shigetsuki Academy now...

…………

After Qiu Ke left, everyone started discussing God's birthday again. Because I had never considered it before, if I made plans on the same day, I would waste my hard-earned vacation time. So they gathered in the hall and made a plan on the grounds that they had "studied for too long and needed to relax."

"In two days, you can go back to the Imperial Capital... There seems to be a big amusement park there..."

"But this kind of weather should..."

"That's right..."

Luoluo and Ling sighed at the same time.

"That amusement park will also open normally in winter." Aika placed the PDA on the table, which displayed the advertisement for the amusement park. "Besides, the weather during the day has been pretty good these days. I think we can go there." One trip shouldn’t be a problem.”

"Brother Aika, do you want to go too?"

"Hmm... I should say I've never been there before, so I'm a little curious."

"I am the same as my brother..."

"But even in an amusement park, it's impossible to play for two days. It would be a bit unwilling to come back immediately after playing..."

Ling was thinking quietly.

"Although it's a holiday, you didn't forget that there is still a theoretical test, right?" Aika took back the PDA, "Even if we have a surprise review day tomorrow, it is difficult to guarantee that we will pass."

"I never said I would fail."

"You haven't reviewed it yet, okay?"

"It's definitely no problem to pass, but I can't accept it if I'm ranked at the bottom! At least it should be ranked similar to the practical test."

"I always thought you were a companion!"

"No, no, no, don't confuse me with you."

Ling simply waved her hand and gave Aika the final blow.

"Wish you have fun..."

Aika dragged her feet and closed the door to her room lifelessly.

…………

After Aika left, the focus of the conversation changed a bit.

"Xiao Xi, can you contact Xiaoyin?"

"Are you planning to stay at her house that day?"

"If possible, this would be really convenient."

"It would really be embarrassing if the hotel was full that day."

Ling also agreed with Luoluo's suggestion, but he was not very willing to owe Liuyin such a favor. Even according to what Aika said, he never mentioned the topic of revenge again, but it was impossible for him to forget what the Holy See had done. One day, I will do something that no one wants to see.

Before that, I hope I can leave a few more memories...

In this matter, the only thing I have changed is that I no longer generalize everyone. During the days spent with Wei Xi and Liu Yin, Ling could not ignite the idea of ​​revenge. Some people are involved, and they already carry a heavy enough burden in their hearts. It would be cruel to add another layer on top.

Even if he now has the strength to confront the Holy See, he will no longer fight without saying a word like before. Because if you do that, it will be exactly what he said.

——Then, what’s the difference between you and those bastards in the Holy See you talk about!

I still can't forget his expression and tone at that time. Now I can understand that at that moment, Aika was angry because of herself. Although he may have shown the same attitude towards many people due to his nosy nature, it was all sincerity.

He said he was being hypocritical, but in fact he was the one who meant something different.

"...Sister Ling?"

"Ah, what?"

"What were you thinking about just now?"

"No, I was just in a daze."

"That's it..." Luoluo said what he was planning to tell her, "Just now Xiaoyin has replied to the text message Xiaoxi sent. She happened to have something to do and wouldn't be at home that day, but Xiaoxi's magic ripples had already Already logged in, and they said we can use whatever is in the room as we please.”

"That person is really defenseless..."

Ling suddenly felt weak. She felt so stupid for thinking about that kind of thing for a long time just now...

"Thanks to Xiaoxi for your face!"

"No... Although I can't open the door if I don't go, she will definitely find a way to get Brother Shun to open the door for you..."

"Speaking of which, Brother Shun doesn't know what he's doing right now."

Luoluo thought of his childhood playmate and had not contacted him for half a year. Because he was not present when the PDA was obtained, his contact information was not obtained.

"The day he left, he was still busy with association matters."

"Association..."

Every time this term is brought up, it changes the existing atmosphere to some extent, so everyone keeps silent about it. Ling, who noticed his gaffe, quickly helped him to make things right.

"This time when I return to the imperial capital, I'll also stop by to see Shun. I remember he said that he comes here year-round."

"It looks like the National Magician is also very hardworking."

"Lolo, all professions have their hard parts..."

"Actually, I've always wanted to be a connoisseur."

"Hey, this is the first time you've mentioned it. Which aspect? Art? Music?"

Ling looked at Luoluo with interest.

"gourmet food!"

"So it's this aspect..."

“As long as you sit down and have the snacks served in front of you, you can just talk about the taste.”

"Society is not as simple as you think."

"Brother Aika, are you still reviewing now?"

"Maybe he fell asleep on the desk again..."

"again?"

Wei Xi tilted her head.

"Lolo, did you go to his room last night just to wake him up?"

Sure enough, Ling still remembered the meeting last night. After a day, when asked the same question, there is no longer the same nervousness as last night. Luoluo instead thanked Ling for asking in person. If she hadn't asked, Luoluo wouldn't have known what she was thinking.

"Well, because it's that older brother, he definitely won't concentrate on reviewing, so I thought of going and taking a look. By the way, I also gave him the scarf I knitted before, although it can only be called a semi-finished product."

"So you've finished knitting... I thought you hadn't used those yarn balls yet." Ling showed a pity expression. "I just happened to be a little interested in knitting recently, and I wanted to come to you to borrow some yarn."

"As for wool, there's still a lot left."

"No need now. If you think about it carefully, this kind of slow work and meticulous work is still not suitable for me, so give up."

Yes, I really don’t need it now.

If you give the same thing, the person receiving the gift will also feel troubled.

"Sister Ling, this probably doesn't happen...I think you can do it..."

"Thank you, Wei Xi. I'll give it a try if I have time."

The three girls continued chatting for a while. Because tomorrow's study will start in the morning, I can't sleep as much as I did today. Before eleven o'clock, they each returned to their rooms.

By the way, the owner of the first room had already been pulled out of the dream on the table by everyone before this.
