That's it.

The sight of the stargazer closing his eyes and shaking his head made Xilin a little nervous. Even in this state, she still had a natural fear of her leader.

Opening his eyes, the Stargazer looked at Shirin's intertwined hands in front of him and smiled silently as he watched her fingers constantly overlapping.

Then, she calmly said:

"I understand your choice."

"We are the watchmen, but we never force everyone to watch over us."

As the stargazer slowly spoke, the dim stars on the dome of space lit up once more.

Bathed in the glow of falling stars, the stargazer spoke earnestly:

"We can choose who we want to protect, what we want to protect, or just...that person."

"We are doing this voluntarily; each of us has always been free."

The Watchers is an organization, but it is also just an organization.

It gives those who are willing to give an opportunity and peace; those choices are never forced.

Shirin stared blankly at the stargazer, never expecting such an answer, as if he were simply asking for her opinion.

But would the handover of a branch manager really be so hasty?

As the starlight dimmed, the stargazer seemed to remember something and changed the subject, saying:

"Also, you probably didn't read my reply carefully. Actually, I've already revised it for you."

...Huh?

She blinked rapidly, feeling like she might have really made a mistake.

Revise?

What changes?

"【After the new branch manager completes the handover, he/she can step down.】 That's how I remember it being changed."

Huh!?

"That is to say..."

Nodding, the stargazer explained:

“From then on, you can resign from your position as branch manager as long as you can find a successor.”

Rather, the fact that Shirin has shown no signs of searching for so long has left the stargazers somewhat uncertain about the situation...

silence.

Shirin fell silent.

Her expression was unusually conflicted, with a hint of confusion and incomprehension.

I don't understand!

"In other words, from that time on, I..."

So, it's already possible to do those things?

The stargazer closed his eyes and nodded, unable to bear watching the pitiful state of this silly girl with her shattered worldview.

"Then what?! What about everything I just said?!"

Those words that I now find incredibly shameful, were they really things I didn't have to say?!

The stargazer did not answer, but gently remained silent.

She felt as if some glistening liquid was sliding down her cheek, and Shirin felt as if she had gained something and then lost something in return.

Thankfully, Ning Feng didn't hear it!

Otherwise, it would be too shameful...

As her emotions gradually calmed down, Shirley finally took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and said:

"How...should I address you?"

How can I possibly thank you?

Only now did Shirin suddenly realize that this mysterious legend had been helping her from the very beginning.

The silent stargazer pondered for a moment, and finally chose to answer:

"You can call me the Stargazer."

Stargazers...

Xilin's brow twitched. She felt she must have heard the name somewhere before, but her somewhat confused mind couldn't recall it at the moment.

Where exactly did I hear that name?

At this moment, the stargazer opened his eyes, looked to the side, and then suddenly said to Shirin:

"Alright, you should go now."

go?

Raising her hand, Shirley wanted to express her gratitude again, and said:

"Wait, wait a minute, I..."

But the stargazer shook his head, stopping Shirin's movements, and gently waved his hand at her, saying:

"Let's go, someone is already waiting for you."

wait for me?

who……

The illusory figure of Xilin sitting on the stool dissipated, and her transferred consciousness quickly returned to her body.

then……

I slowly opened my eyes in a warm embrace.

And this time...

The man holding her was the very man she was willing to give everything for.

Ning Feng gently tapped Xilin's nose with his fingertip and smiled:

"you're awake?"

Chapter 254 I Give You Everything I Have

what happens……

It felt like she had just had a very complicated dream. Shirin's consciousness was still stuck in the last second before she lost consciousness, and there was still a hazy part of her consciousness.

All I remember is that at the end, I seemed to see a legendary figure named Stargazer...

Staring blankly at Ning Feng, Xilin looked like she hadn't woken up yet.

"Hmm? Could it be that you're still asleep?"

Ning Feng liked the adorable, innocent look the elf sister was showing, but he couldn't let it continue like this forever.

"You're such a sleepyhead, wake up!"

With a touch of affection, Ning Feng tapped Xilin's nose with his fingertip, then smiled and flicked it gently.

Hey.

Without using any force, Xilin's fair and delicate nose did not turn red under Ning Feng's flirtatious movements; it only trembled slightly.

After being flicked, Xilin didn't react much. She just slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at Ning Feng.

As if coming to her senses, she slowly raised her hand towards Ning Feng's cheek.

Suddenly, she paused in her raised arm, then anxiously reached for Ning Feng's chest!

Her body was depleted of magic and she couldn't muster any strength, but Shirin didn't care about that and pressed on Ning Feng's chest haphazardly.

The next moment, Shirin felt relieved.

Even through the thin clothing, she could feel the warm and firm muscle lines of his chest, and the strong, powerful heartbeat below.

Dong dong! Dong dong!

Each heartbeat was full of vitality, infusing energy into every part of the body, and this clear beating was clearly transmitted from the palm of her hand to Shirin's heart.

what……

As her tension eased, Xilin relaxed completely, collapsing limply into Ning Feng's arms.

You're alright.

You're not dead...

"Very good."

Sobbing.

Looking at his smiling face, Xilin's initially dazed mood gradually changed.

Her nose felt slightly sore, and after confirming that Ning Feng was safe and sound, the emotions she had been suppressing erupted once again.

Sniffing, Shirin murmured softly in a hoarse voice, sounding somewhat aggrieved:

"You're alright, that's really..."

Very good!

Xilin wrapped her arms tightly around Ning Feng's body, burying her face in his chest and muffled her voice:
