(This chapter will be better enjoyed with the song, Always With Me©)
The two-day examinations ended.
Among the students who had already received the review results, some were happy, some were sad, some hugged their heads and cried, and some shed tears of joy.
How many sleepless nights had they spent studying hard? They carried his dreams and ran on the road, but the long run in pursuit of their dreams finally came to an end.
That night, the graduation party was held as scheduled.
On this day, the school also made an exception and allowed the students to drink. Therefore, Wang Jinsheng took out the good wine in his inventory and shared it with his students.
The night wind was noisy, and the school field was brightly lit.
…..
The school had also gone to great lengths for the graduation party. They had invited famous singers and dance teams in Star City to send their students off.
With their parting imminent, the students could not hide the disappointment on their faces. How could they let go of so many years of friendship so easily?
“Lunatic, here’s wishing 1 get a place in the Technology Academy. Cheers!”
“Your eyes are red.”
“Because I’m happy. Yours are red too.”
“I’m happy for you.”
“Then why do you look so sad?”
Looking at Mo Fei, who was as stubborn as him, Feng Qi downed the wine in his cup.
“Stop pretending. It’s too fake. Let’s find a time to get together every year in the future. Don’t let a friendship of so many years end. But all good things must come to an end. Let’s fight for the future of humanity together in the future.”
“Fight for the future of mankind for the rest of our lives!” At this moment, Mo Fei also raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
When Wang Jinsheng, who was not far away, saw this scene, for some reason, his eyes moistened.
Once upon a time, when he graduated from Star City Academy, he had made the same agreement with his best friend to work hard for the future of humanity for the rest of
their lives.
However, a few weeks ago, he received bad news about his good friend.
He, who was fighting on the front line against domain creatures, in order to protect his teammates, would now forever sleep in the domain field.
They had agreed to find time to get together every year, but after graduation, they did not have time to meet again. And till his death, they did not see each other again.
“Old Wang, come and drink!”
Hearing the shouts, Wang Jinsheng suppressed the sadness in his heart. A smile appeared on his face as he held the wine bottle and walked towards Feng Qi and the others.
Amidst the laughter, the students shared their future plans and their blessings for their peers.
Everyone suppressed the sadness of parting.
That night, when Always With Me was playing, listening to the melody of parting, a student suddenly burst out crying.
While the other students could not help but laugh, their eyes could not help but teared up as well. The emotions in their hearts spread like flames.
At this moment, Wang Jinsheng stood up and announced his thoughts to his students. He also said that he was about to leave Star City Academy.
Finally, he bowed to them.
“It’s my honor to have met all of you, but I will not be able to continue taking the same path with all of you. Now that we’re parting, 1 don’t know when we’ll meet again… I wish all of you a bright future ahead and that all your efforts would not be in vain.”
Hearing Wang Jinsheng’s farewell, the students looked surprised.
However, they all agreed with his decision. They felt that he was completely capable of showing off his skills in wider horizons.
At the same time, they could not help but sigh at their luck to have spent these six years under Old Wang’s guidance. The next batch of students would never meet a teacher like Old Wang again.
Wang Jinsheng gave them not only knowledge but also confidence in the future. He also gave them the mentality and courage they ought to have when facing difficulties.
Teachers are easily found, but not masters.
The students all gave Wang Jinsheng their blessings.
They firmly believed that no matter where he went, he would still be able to shine brightly.
At the end of the party, it started to drizzle.
As the class representative, Feng Qi led his classmates to the “Time Capsule” in front of the stage.
As a witness, before sealing these messages into the time capsule, he began to read his classmates’ messages for the future.
“The two of you must be very happy in the future. I believe all the domain fields have been dispelled. What a beautiful new world that would be.”
“I’m really envious of all of you. You were born in a new era without domain fields, but 1 also wish you all the best with life in such a new era.”
“I hope that you won’t forget me in the future. 1 once fought tirelessly for the future of mankind. 1 contributed a portion of my strength to the brilliant golden age you are in.”
“Hello in the future. My name is Yan Xuebo. I was born in a time when human civilization was at stake. 1 will also work tirelessly for the future of mankind. Here are blessings for myself and the future. Mankind will definitely win.”
“Old Wang often said that we can only see the dawn after a long night. We, who were born in the dark era, can’t imagine what the future will be like, but I firmly believe that you can see the arrival of a brilliant golden age. 1 will also fight for that day for the rest of my life.”
“All the best, work hard, don’t give up, don’t give in. I’ll do my best for your beautiful future!”
As he read through his classmates’ messages for the future, Feng Qi’s eyes could not help but turn red.
The students were full of confidence in the future and felt that it would definitely be a brilliant golden era.
But he had seen the real future.
The end of human civilization did not go as they wished, let alone the arrival of a glorious era.
The truth was that human civilization really reached the end and was forever enveloped in darkness.
Taking a deep breath, he stuffed the letters into the time capsule.
When the letters from the various classes were stuffed into the capsule, the entire venue applauded thunderously.
The time capsule was slowly lifted up and sealed underground with the students’ blessings and expectations for a beautiful future.
As Feng Qi turned to leave, he reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. His gaze became incomparably firm.
The future will definitely be as you wish, 1 promise!
Parting was imminent.
Listening to the singer on the stage singing Always With Me, countless voices below the stage began to sing along.
Let’s bid farewell here. The train over the water is almost at the station.
On the road to the future, no one would turn back.
Say goodbye. Don’t look back even if you’re reluctant to leave.
On the other side of the sea, there must be another shore.
The gentlest dream, full of the world’s bustle.
In this remote space and time, one could listen to the thoughts of millions of people.
A journey of constant loss, a life of constant witnessing
No matter how much of the world you’ve seen, your eyes are still as clear as before. Love still moves you.
My dear traveler, there is no path without storms.
There will be loneliness, sadness, but also endless hope.
My dear traveler, this journey will be short yet long.
And everything would eventually converge into the fullest of scenes.
Let’s bid farewell here, the lights behind gradually dimmed.
Every child who loved home had to raise a sail for a long journey.
Say goodbye. The beautiful dream will not dissipate.
Your love rests in the crook of your arm, and your heart will be soft for life.
Since meeting was a gift from time, in parting, do smile and put the memories in your heart.
Life is infinitely small, but also infinitely majestic.
Its tempting enough for you to spend your life in search or in saying goodbye.
…..
My dear traveler, you are still the same as you remember.
Pass through the crowds, walk through the mortal world and to further afield…
