Chapter 640: The Garbage Star’s Waste (77)
The interstellar top level wanted to bestow Qiann Yan with honors, representing the gratitude of all interstellar citizens for her killing the Insect Race Queen, but she still refused.
She said, "They came to me themselves, and I happened to cut them down. I’m not fighting for humanity. You should give this honor to those who truly fight for humanity."
Everyone understood that she still remembered the events of the past and might never be able to let go.
They didn’t know it wasn’t just that one thing; there were many other factors, involving the tragic fate of another girl’s entire life.
They would never know those things.
Qiann Yan disappeared from people’s sight once again. Lei Dalong was still on the spacecraft, traveling with her to enjoy the beautiful scenery of various places.
No one could know where she would go, only Yi Guang knew. She would appear by Ke Huai’s side several times a year.
Once when her birthday was approaching, Ke Huai said he wanted to give her a gift and asked her to make some time to pick it up.
Once when it was Ke Huai’s birthday, he asked if she had prepared a gift for him and mentioned reciprocity.
And there were other times when Ke Huai undertook certain missions and fell into a crisis. Once she knew the coordinates, she would appear in front of him.
Every time she would come in a hurry, appear so suddenly, yet so timely.
Yi Guang later reminisced about various things and suddenly realized that every time they were in dire straits, she would appear, never missing an occasion.
Even during many crises, the Major General always encouraged them to persist, that persistence would bring dawn and surely get them out. No, he was now a General. Perhaps soon, he would be a Marshal.
If Ke Huai was a legend of interstellar civilization, then Qiann Yan was the legend among legends.
He, Yi Guang, was always the clever squatter guarding the melon field.
Netizens always regretted that the two never got together according to their wishes, yet they didn’t understand that their relationship and interaction far exceeded the need to be together.
Yi Guang later wrote in his autobiography: I think such a story will never appear again in this world; whenever Marshal Ke Huai was on the brink of death, she would appear by his side with a ray of light, illuminating his world, no matter how dark the place they were in, it would light up.
Yi Guang also wrote in his autobiography: In later interstellar civilization, it was many years before anyone saw the Insect Race, and it made me think of a saying, as long as Marshal Ke Huai and Ms. Qiann Yan are still around, the Insect Race will never appear. Marshal Ke Huai protects the entire interstellar humanity, Ms. Qiann Yan only protects him alone. Suddenly, it seems Marshal Ke Huai is happier. As the clever squatter guarding the giant melon field, I’ll write just this much. Later readers will surely scold me. Actually, this is a story of a squatter eating melons in solitude, not a squatter’s autobiography.
Lei Dalong grew old slowly during the journey, the sorrow brought by his daughter’s unrepentance gradually faded away during this travel.
He neither went to find Lei Sisi, nor did he inquire about how Lei Sisi was doing later.
Qiann Yan never told him that Lei Sisi didn’t fare well later on and had returned to seek Lei Dalong after hardship.
She felt Lei Sisi didn’t deserve to disrupt Lei Dalong’s happy life.
Her regret was merely because her current situation wasn’t satisfactory.
After Lei Dalong passed away, she finally informed Lei Sisi. Seeing Lei Sisi’s regretful expression, she was satisfied and wanted to leave.
"Ms. Qiann Yan, did my father leave anything for me?"
Qiann Yan: "No, not even fatherly love for you."
