Chapter 469: The Milky Way as a Companion, Light as a Gift
Xiao Huai was stunned, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
Finally, he carefully put the photo away, took a deep breath, and slowly responded to the system: "Open."
Then a prompt sound came from the system.
[Image loading...]
As soon as the prompt sounded, Xiao Huai looked up and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
A strong wind blew, rustling the leaves.
The sunlight penetrates the dense leaves and falls on the ground, and the mottled light and shadow interweave into a warm picture.
He is a god bathed in glory, standing under a towering tree, his features appearing exceptionally gentle in the sunlight.
As the breeze blew, his white hair fluttered gently, and his eyes were like a lake in the morning light, clear but hiding deep emotions.
He just smiled slightly and said softly:
"Happy birthday."
The voice was soft and low, so gentle as if afraid of disturbing this peaceful moment.
Lu Yuanshi looked quiet and beautiful, as if time had stopped flowing for him. The tranquility was heart-pounding, as if it was something that could only be touched in a dream.
Although Xiao Huai knew that what he saw was just an image, his heart still beat faster uncontrollably, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Lu Yuanshi walked towards him step by step, his steps steady and calm, a faint smile still on the corner of his mouth, but there was a hint of sadness that was hard to conceal between his brows.
He seemed to want to reach out and touch Xiao Huai, but he knew that when he touched him, it would be just air.
So he carefully withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and pretended nothing had happened.
He lowered his eyes and whispered:
"I'm sorry—I'm afraid I can't be with you on your birthday."
He had clearly tried his best to make his tone sound nonchalant, but the sadness was deeply engraved in his expression.
Suddenly, a blue-purple bottle floated in the air, emitting a faint light.
In the bottle, tiny rays of light flow slowly like a galaxy, as if condensing the brilliance of the entire universe.
"The stars are my companions, and the light is my gift."
I only hope that this starlight can protect you for me.
Lu Yuanshi's voice was like a whisper in the wind, so soft that it was heartbreaking.
As he finished speaking, the blue-purple bottle fell precisely into Xiao Huai's hands.
At this moment, the hidden red line on his left wrist suddenly lit up slightly, and a little light flickered, as if responding to the throbbing in his heart.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded again:
[Congratulations, you have obtained the god-level item - Galaxy Bottle]
[Item Description: Reverses the galaxy, rewinds time; can only be used once in a dungeon. After use, the dungeon time will rewind once, and only you will remember everything before the rewind.]
Xiao Huai was stunned, staring down at the galaxy bottle in his hand. The blue-purple light refracted through the glass, reflecting tiny stardust, as if countless stars were blooming in his palm.
Galaxy...bottle.
A chance for a complete reversal.
This bottle is not just a gift, it is the deepest protection.
Xiao Huai clenched the Galaxy Bottle in his hand, and the blue-purple light flickered slightly through his fingers, reflecting on his face.
He lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.
He is always strong, no matter what difficulties he faces, no matter when.
No one understands...
In fact, he also wants to have someone to rely on.
He also didn't want to be alone.
But life is always contrary to our wishes.
At this moment, fireflies flew in from nowhere, gently circling around him, flickering their light.
Time slowed down, and those points of light floated gently, like debris from the distant Milky Way scattered into the mortal world.
Although Lu Yuanshi couldn't see Xiao Huai's appearance, he seemed to be able to feel his presence at this moment.
Surrounded by fireflies, Lu Yuanshi tilted his head back, gazing at the sky filled with fireflies, and smiled softly, "Do people in the human world make wishes on their birthdays?"
His voice was gentle, blending into the scenery, "So, do you want one?"
If you make a wish before the gods, will it come true?
Xiao Huai clenched his palms, knowing that speaking here was just deceiving himself.
But he couldn't help but speak.
"I don't remember my birthday, and I don't like birthdays... I don't understand why everyone always thinks this day is special." He raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan, his voice became a little hoarse, and as he spoke, he choked slightly.
"Until you guys showed up, I felt like my birthday was pretty good."
Isn’t it special?
So, if I could make a wish, I really, really want to...
Miss you very much.
I really want to see you.
I really want to find you.
I really want to save you.
An indescribable feeling of grievance and longing filled his chest.
He lowered his head, pressing his lips into a tight line, not wanting to appear too vulnerable.
At this moment, Lu Yuanshi seemed to have transcended the barriers of time and space, approached him, and tilted his head slightly, "Honey, are you moved to tears by me? Do you want to kiss me?"
Then, Lu Yuanshi's image reached out and made a pinky promise, "Next time you have a birthday, I will definitely be by your side."
Xiao Huai was stunned, then lowered his head and smiled gently.
He stretched out his hand, and hooked his little finger with Lu Yuanshi's image through the air. Although that hand was just an illusion, it seemed to carry all the emotions and promises between them.
At that moment, illusion and reality intertwined. Even though the little finger passed through a shadow, there was still a force of concern that tightly connected the two of them.
The light flickered, and the light in the galaxy bottle and the tiny lights of fireflies complemented each other.
The images of Xiao Huai and Lu Yuanshi faced each other, and the light witnessed their deep emotions.
Time disappeared bit by bit, the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred, and finally ended in light.
This is a memory that belongs only to Xiao Huai, a companionship that belongs only to him, and it is the most affectionate blessing and protection that Lu Yuanshi left behind across time and space.
Xiao Huai carefully hid the warmth in his heart, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Now it seems...
There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.
----
Xiao Huai stood alone in front of the window, the night was as dark as ink.
He lowered his head and tightly grasped the pen that led to the thirteenth-level copy, exerting a little force with his fingertips and feeling the power within it.
Slowly, he opened the pen cap, and with a slight sound, strands of silk threads entangled in the air, weaving into a mysterious web that isolated him from the outside world.
The three-day deadline has expired.
But he was no longer afraid.
……

The Last Supper
