He and It

"Those are just words to coax children," Gu Xingqiao said helplessly after a pause, "Why do you still believe this?"

Tianyuan was stubborn and said, "Go ahead and make a wish, then we can talk about other things."

Gu Xingqiao had no choice.

He looked at the continuous meteor shower, his mind empty, and thought for a long time.

When it came time to make a wish, he realized that the road ahead was uncertain and he had no good wishes to make.

Pray for revenge

No, his revenge should be smooth. With the technological heritage of ancient humans as his backing, no matter how far he could not catch up with Cecil's family background, he could still surpass him.

Pray that the people of Dionysus will know the truth, clear his name, and apologize to him

I also declined the offer, and the belated regret was just another soft knife that opened the scar. Compared with those more ferocious and hurtful axes, the edge of this knife, although silent, could always delicately cut to the deepest part.

Pray... Pray that everything will be fine in the future

This is not bad. Even if he leaves Tianyuan and wanders alone in a place far away from people and wars, he hopes that he can muster the courage to live and not choose the direction of death at the crossroads...

Gu Xingqiao remained silent and made his wish.

"Okay," he lowered his head, picked up the steaming hot soup bowl, and drank a sip of the hot soup first, "I'm done."

The broth is thick and delicious. Although eating food that is too hot is very bad for the throat, taking a big gulp occasionally can still warm up the whole body comfortably.

Tianyuan asked: "What did you wish for?"

Gu Xingqiao gave him a strange look and said, "I can't tell you. If I tell you, your wish won't work."

Well, if he knew that the wish he made was about leaving his life in the future, who knows what kind of fuss this artificial intelligence would make... Forget it, I can't tell him.

Tianyuan paused.

The decision was wrong. He had originally intended to find out Gu Xingqiao's wish and then help him realize it. Unexpectedly, humans have so many fallacies and heresies about making wishes.

"But," Tianyuan asked calmly, "If you don't speak it out, how can the meteor hear your dream and help you realize it?"

Gu Xingqiao chewed the tender and juicy piece of meat and answered carefreely: “Don’t worry, Xingxing will know.”

"How do you know?" Tianyuan was persistent and did not intend to give up.

"It will know!" Gu Xingqiao pretended to be surprised and said, "Our consensus is that the shooting star of the wish can hear people's voices."

… What a mistake, Tianyuan thought unwillingly. He actually used objective idealism to fight me.

Gu Xingqiao was in a very bad mood because he secretly bullied an intelligent life. He drank the broth in the bowl. The carrots were fragrant and soft, and the white onions were sweet and had a hint of freshness.

With his head down, he scooped up the second bowl.

When he first fell in, he had just escaped from the Empire's strict prison cell for serious criminals, and was hunted day and night. The first time Tianyuan resurrected him, he detected that his body fat percentage was shockingly low. Even from the outside, he was skinny and his cheeks were sunken, and under the pale cheekbones, there was a haggard shadow.
