"I will think carefully about your words. Then, if you'd like to bother me, I'll take my leave."

After Qian Zhihe finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Bye~~"

I responded with a sense of relief.

"Ah, by the way——"

Qianzhihe, who was already standing by the door, seemed to suddenly remember something:

"Are you free recently?"

"...Eh?"

"I offended you before, but you helped me a lot regardless of the past, so please give me a chance to repay you."

"Well, I don't think there's any need to repay..."

"It's not my style to owe others money, so please don't be polite."

"Uh..."

Well, this guy is indeed a serious person - I have long realized it after chatting with her for so long.

"It's up to you... I'm very free every day, except I have to spend about half an hour in the morning walking around the construction site."

The project at the construction site is almost entering the final stage, but the closer we get to the last moment, the less we can relax, not to mention that there are still renovations and other work that need to be completed.

"Well...how about Sunday next week? I invited you to go to the opera, and a friend just gave me two tickets - she is the leading role in the play."

"Oh, that's it..."

What is this? Opera? Come with me? Why?

No, no, it's definitely not what I thought... This guy is all about war and training, and I'm just an old man over a hundred years old.

...In this case, there is no harm in agreeing.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

I said indifferently.

"Well! Can we meet at the door of this hotel at two o'clock in the afternoon next Sunday?"

"OK."

"Okay, it's settled. Goodbye, Mr. Gu."

"Hmm."

Qian Zhihe waved his hand and then left.

"..."

I close the door.

Hmm...next week, Sunday?

You have to remember where it is, otherwise you will definitely forget it.

I rummaged around on the table, and after a long time I found a pen, and used it to mark the corresponding dates on the wall calendar.

Phew~~It’s done, go and have a rest.

The extra work makes me extremely sleepy.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong——"

......?

The door was knocked again.

Did the paper crane drop something here... I looked around the room and didn't find anything, but there was no doubt that the knocking sound was my door.

"Alas..."

I had no choice but to pick up some energy and go to open the door.

"Oh..."

The person standing outside the door is not Paper Crane, but Raya.

Maybe it was my imagination... She looked at me in a strange way.

"What? Still not sleeping?"

I asked pretending to be nonchalant.

"Gone?"

"What?"

"That woman is gone?"

"Uh...!"

The fatigue disappeared in an instant.

Beautiful.

Hey, hey, how did she notice?

“The sound insulation effect of the walls is not very good.”

Raya pointed lightly to her room next to mine.

"I think so."

I sighed.

After calming down a little, I explained to Raya:

"Don't get me wrong, the person who came to visit just now is Qian Zhihe - the captain of the infantry team."

"Miss Qianzhihe?"

Raya's eyes widened as if she didn't quite understand:

"What is she looking for you for? And it's this time..."

"It's a long story, and it's hard to explain clearly at once. Just think she's here to say hello."

"It takes more than an hour to say hello?"

"Who knows..."

Seeing Raya narrowing her eyes, I looked away as if feeling guilty.

"Let me go in."

"Eh? Hey, wait..."

Regardless of my obstruction, Raya walked into my room.

"Why do you want to come in?"

"Ah?"

Facing my question, Raya showed a natural expression and asked me:

"It's weird standing outside talking, isn't it?"

"...Yes, what you said is absolutely true."

That being said, I really want to sleep... I'm so sleepy.

I followed Raya and followed her to my bedroom.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

She said this and opened the curtain——

The moonlight rushes into the room like a pet that has been waiting for a long time to see its owner. The soft ivory white is cleverly combined with the sharp-edged shapes divided by the windows, and is projected motionlessly on the bed.

"Really."

The mood naturally becomes peaceful.

If I remember correctly, today is probably not a special day. The moon should be no different from usual... In other words, things that have not changed still have the ability to amaze people.

It’s still a world I can’t get tired of.

I suddenly thought: How did the children of the cavalry team feel when they saw the moonlight? What about Qian Zhihe and the other young people who are eager to change 'eternity'? How would they feel?

If the ordinary beauty endowed by 'eternity' is broken, will new things be enough to replace it? Is the future full of confusion really more important than everything at the moment?

They're wrong - I'm sure again.

When I came back to my senses, I found Raya holding my sleeve.

"It will be open for business soon."

There is expectation hidden in the voice.
