Chapter 226 [Empire] Marshmallow Style
I sighed. These days are really... hard to describe.
In the evening, I was not in a hurry to go back to the dormitory. This place was not far from Wen Ya's place, only a few minutes' drive. I planned to give him a surprise.
I still remember the time when he said he missed me.
However, when I arrived at the place where we had lived together, I found that he was not there.
The room was completely dark, without a single light. The windows were wide open, letting in a cold breeze that made one feel a bit chilly.
I stood in the middle of the room, in the darkness, listening to the wind whistling past and ruffling my hair.
Slowly walked to the window and looked at the dark night outside.
Close the doors and windows one by one. The moment the windows are closed, the sound of the wind is blocked out, and the room suddenly becomes much quieter.
Walking out of the building, the night air hit me in the face, bringing a hint of coolness.
The weather was a bit chilly, and a gust of night wind blew by, sending fluffy balls drifting by. I heard this was a new random weather effect added to the Capital Planet's environmental simulation system: wind.
Those furry balls were like light clouds, floating slowly in the air, adding a touch of dreaminess to the originally chilly night.
I reached out and tried to catch a ball, and the soft touch made me feel a little relieved.
I carefully observed this small " ", its surface was furry, as if it was composed of countless tiny fibers. Under the light, it emitted a soft glow.
Looking at those furry balls fluttering in the wind, I felt curious and wanted to taste them.
I gently grabbed a dumpling, and it trembled slightly in my palm, as if it had life. I carefully brought it to my mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally took a light bite.
The texture of the dumplings was peculiar, soft and springy, yet without any distinct flavor. It felt a bit like tangy, but more delicate. I frowned slightly, a touch disappointed. I'd expected this novel "wind"-brought dumpling to taste wonderful, but it turned out to be so bland.
I held the bitten dumpling in my palm, watching it slowly return to its original shape. I couldn't help but sigh: while the Capital Planet's environmental simulation system can create lifelike scenes, it can't satisfy people's fantasy of delicious food.
Keep moving forward, leaving those dumplings behind.
I rode the public hovercar, slowly passing the commercial street. Looking out the window at the shops and the crowds below, I began to feel sleepy. I leaned back in the hovercar seat, slightly closing my eyes, trying to ease the fatigue. The sounds around me gradually faded, and my consciousness began to blur.
Half asleep and half awake, I seemed to see someone.
I don't know how long it was before I was awakened by a loud noise. I opened my eyes and found that the hovercraft had arrived at a station near the school. I stood up and shook my head, trying to wake myself up. Then I got off the hovercraft and walked towards the school.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was still pitch black. Not a single light. Apparently, no one had returned yet.
I stopped caring about anything else, sleepiness taking over like a shadow. I made my bed briefly and went to sleep. I closed my eyes and buried myself deeply in the covers. A few chaotic thoughts lingered in my mind, but they were quickly drowned by a deep sleepiness.
