He asked, "By the way, what day is today?"
"Qixi Festival, it's Qixi Festival."
"Ok?"
He was slightly stunned, then subconsciously calculated the time.
The third collapse occurred in March, and he had been in the Fire Moth for over five months now, which was August. Converted to the Shenzhou's unique lunar calendar, it was indeed the seventh lunar month.
He didn't expect that there would be Qixi Festival here.
Cang Xuan walked over and said, "There are many people from different countries in the Fire Moth Chaser. People from the same country will gather together to communicate on special days. The same is true in Shenzhou."
"Someone from Shenzhou has called for a Qixi Festival dance party. Danzhu, Hua, and I have all received invitations. Danzhu wants to take you along."
Dan Zhu scratched his head and said, "After all, we are all from Shenzhou. It would be nice for us to get to know each other, senior."
Chen Ran nodded.
The so-called Qixi Festival dance party, Qixi Festival and the dance party are just excuses, in essence it is just people banding together for warmth.
People in South Asia do this, people in East Asia do this, and people in Europe do this.
The cliquey behavior within the Fire Moths is actually very serious. If you are Asian and happen to be European, there will be countless dance parties every day.
After the third collapse, Shenzhou began to send some talents to the Fire Moths. As the number of people increased, corresponding groups would naturally be formed.
This is why Cang Xuan came into contact with Dan Zhu and Hua.
Chen Ran doesn't care about these things.
If the end is bound to come, then there will be no difference between sticking together and not sticking together. At most, you will just be competing for a spot in the Spark Program.
"A dance party is worthy of your attention."
Dan Zhu said, "Humph, the dance party is certainly not worth taking seriously. What matters to me is that today is Qixi Festival."
...
...
Modern societies always abandon traditional customs, and this was also true in previous civilizations.
Although it is called the Qixi Dance Party, the people gathered here are more focused on the dance party rather than the Qixi Festival.
The ball was not held inside the Fire Moth, but in a super-large city where the Fire Moth was located, which was also the city where the United Nations was located.
The appearance of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu quickly became the focus of attention at the dance party.
When Danzhu solemnly introduced Chen Ran, many people's eyes changed when they looked at Chen Ran.
Most people who can come to the Fire Moth understand what it means to be a formal member of the First Research Institute.
They were also among those who came to the First Research Institute to visit the Herrscher Core.
Chen Ran responded with a few words, drank a few glasses with some active people, and then sat in the corner with Hua.
"Huh, I'm really not used to it."
He said to Hua beside him: "How about you, are you used to this kind of dance?"
"will not."
Hua shook his head.
She didn't want to come here, but Himeko accidentally found out and encouraged her to make more friends.
But even so, Hua prefers to be a marginal figure.
She said, "I don't really like interacting with people, and Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu don't like it either."
Chen Ran was surprised: "Cang Xuan is indeed a little reluctant to come here. I thought Dan Zhu would be very active."
Hua looked at him with a strange look in his eyes.
"Isn't Danzhu's enthusiasm due to something else?"
Chen Ran was silent.
He is not a person who does not understand human nature, otherwise, the person coming here now would not be him, but No. 666.
But precisely because he understood, he didn't know how to deal with it.
The atmosphere of the dance had reached a fever pitch. Chen Ran noticed that Danzhu's cheeks were flushed, and Cang Xuan was watching over her.
The two sisters attract a lot of people of both the same and opposite sex, but they know how to keep their distance and basically stop at the right time.
As if noticing Chen Ran's gaze, Danzhu turned his head and saw him in the corner.
She walked towards Chen Ran a little unsteadily.
Seeing this, Cang Xuan on the side couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.
Only he himself knew that what Danzhu cared about was not the dance party, but the time of Qixi Festival.
When Danzhu walked in front of Chen Ran, he almost fell down, but Chen Ran quickly helped him up.
Then, his wrist was grabbed by Danzhu.
"Come with me."
The blushing girl looked obviously brighter than before under the light.
Before Chen Ran could react, she pulled him out the door.
She seemed to have been prepared and went straight to the top floor where the ball was held.
The cold wind blew on the girl's cheeks and blew up her hair.
Chen Ran couldn't help but look at Dan Zhu and asked, "You drank so much, are you okay? Do you want me to prepare some sobering tea for you?"
"No, I didn't drink much."
Dan Zhu blinked and said, "My face is so red because I have an allergic constitution. That's why I rarely drink alcohol."
She held Chen Ran's wrist with one hand and pointed at the stars in the sky with the other: "Sure enough, you can see Altair and Vega here, right over there."
Chen Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Isn't this something you see every day?"
"It's different. Today is Chinese Valentine's Day." Danzhu said, "It's the annual Chinese Valentine's Day."
In this era, few people look back on traditional festivals.
Even if someone looks back, it is just another consumerist festival with a fancy name.
But Danzhu is different.
She said softly, "This is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have their annual secret reunion."
Chen Ran smiled and said, "One day in heaven is one year on earth, so they are actually meeting secretly every day. Don't think too much."
"If you ruin the atmosphere, I'll bite you."
Danzhu's tone lost its usual playfulness and became brighter instead.
She boldly leaned her body against Chen Ran's side.
"You know, my sister's parents and I got engaged on Chinese Valentine's Day."
This was the first time Danzhu talked about her past in front of Chen Ran.
Like the vast majority of people in China, the two sisters live in a happy and well-off family.
Because of their beautiful looks and outstanding talents, they became the children of other people's families.
He skipped grades in elementary and junior high school and soon entered a higher education institution, majoring in biology.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will obtain enviable academic qualifications, get well-paid jobs, and live a more prosperous life.
But accidents still happen.
After the third collapse, although Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu's parents survived in Canghai City, they also contracted the collapse disease.
This is a terminal illness that cannot be completely cured, and even prolonging the patient's life will cost a huge amount of money.
Even the best hospitals in China can only temporarily use cryogenic technology to freeze the patient's physiology, temporarily freezing them, leaving the minimum vital signs, and delaying the further erosion of the collapse disease.
So, Cang Xuan made a deal with Dan Zhu and the Shenzhou government.
Relying on their talents, they came to the Fire Moth, gained a deep understanding of the Honkai, and brought the information back to their country, on the condition that their country find a way to treat their parents.
But this disease becomes more difficult to treat the longer it is delayed.
Dan Zhu whispered, "My sister wanted to conduct the experiment on me because she looked up information and felt that reversing the Honkai disease into a human was the only way to cure it."
"Even if I become a different species, at least I can survive."
"She doesn't want to burden you and me, so she plans to use her body for research by Shenzhou and perform a super-transformation surgery."
Dan Zhu took a deep breath and whispered, "Chen Ran, am I really useless?"
Chen Ran shook his head: "How could it be?"
"I don't think so either." Danzhu pouted, "So, I decided to help my sister."
"Cang Xuan is working so hard on her own. She even used Xiao You to find information about Honkai Disease and planned to study it herself. How is that possible?"
Chen Ran was silent.
He has always known about Cang Xuan borrowing Youlandel.
But Cang Xuan was very sensible and did not ask about anything confidential. Chen Ran also asked Youlandel not to tell anyone else the data that was set as confidential.
He didn't ask Cang Xuan what he was doing, but he never expected that Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu would have to bear such hardships.
In the plot, the super-transformation surgery will not appear until after the seventh Herrscher, and by that time, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu's parents probably cannot delay until then.
But now, the early emergence of super-transformation surgery has undoubtedly become their only hope.
He has rocked the world once again.
"When are you leaving?" he asked softly.
"Tomorrow."
Dan Zhu whispered, "I've already sent a copy of my physical information to Shenzhou. They're pressing for more information. I originally wanted to sneak away, but Cang Xuan caught me. So, tomorrow, Cang Xuan and I will ask Klein for a long vacation."
"So when I come back, I'll ask Senior Chen Ran to say a few good things about me."
Danzhu's body is the body of a fusion warrior.
Shenzhou couldn't help but want the technology to integrate the Honkai gene into its body. This was a completely new life form.
Chen Ran sighed.
"You have carried too much."
"But you have a lot on your shoulders too." Danzhu's voice was a little hazy. "Although I don't know what you are chasing after, I can feel your eagerness."
Chen Ran was silent.
He didn't know how to answer.
His time was indeed very tight, and the threat brought by the end was secondary. What made him feel suffocated the most was the urgency of fate.
It's like tying a rope around him and asking him to do ballet.
Just when he didn't know how to answer, he found that Danzhu was hugging his waist.
"When I was very young, my parents taught me a poem called Magpie Bridge Fairy. I wonder if you know it?"
Chen Ran couldn't help but wonder, "Queqiaoxian is the name of a tune. Which one are you referring to?"
“The most famous one.”
Her body pressed against his chest: "Read it to me."
Chen Ran paused and began to recite:
Xianyun is clever, Feixing spreads hatred, and Yinhan looms dark.
As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.
The tenderness is like water, and the good times are like dreams.
If these two feelings are long, how are they going up and down.
He had just finished reading when he saw Danzhu standing on tiptoe and kissing his lips.
