Chapter 705: Chapter 45 The Moon Girl_3 Chapter 705: Chapter 45 The Moon Girl_3 “And you see, Jask’s entourage, although they haven’t blocked the hospital ward, are actually quite cautious.
You had previously mentioned the image of the girl with blue eyes to the National Security Bureau, so if they notice me, wouldn’t that just invite trouble for no reason?”
“Since I can’t be of any help to you in negotiating with Jask, it might be better for me to wait here.
It’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
“Alright then.”
Lin Xian agreed.
Although this meant he would briefly have to leave Yu Xi behind, it indeed, as Yu Xi had said, was for the greater good to not bring her along to such an event, as it could potentially lead to unexpected trouble:
“Just stay here and don’t move; I’ll be back very soon.”
…
Donghai University Affiliated Hospital, Inpatient Department, 17th floor, Zheng Xiangyue’s room.
Knock, knock.
The head nurse knocked on the half-opened door and said with a smile:
“Xiangyue!
Quick, look who has come to visit you!”

Zheng Xiangyue sitting on the bed, lifted her head.Blinked her eyes.

Seeing the tall foreign man entering, she immediately sat up straight:
“Ja…Jask!!”
“Hahaha, Xiangyue, it’s been a while, we last talked over the phone.”
Jask smiled, waved at her and walked in slowly, pulling a chair to sit by the bed:
“Only, you might not have believed what I said last time, thinking it was merely a joke.”
“Could it really be true?”
Zheng Xiangyue was inevitably unable to hide her excitement, her eyes wide open:
“Do I really…
do I really have a ticket to the Moon?”
Actually.
She wasn’t just finding out about this.
The day after Jask’s Moon travel press conference, a nurse had told her the exciting news.
But everyone secretly said…
it was just a kind gesture in the form of a lie.
After all, a ticket to the Moon costs as much as 12 million US dollars!
Who would give Zheng Xiangyue such an expensive gift?
No, no, 12 million US dollars can’t just be described as expensive; it is an absurd number, incredibly absurd.
Zheng Xiangyue had no wealthy relatives, and her only brother had died in a car accident.
She was just a poor orphan, although her medical account had quite a sum saved up, and both MX Company and Rhein Company had taken responsibility for her ongoing treatment plan and had agreed to cover the subsequent necessary Hibernation Pod fees.
But that amount was still far from 12 million US dollars.
So.
Everyone believed.
That the ticket given to Zheng Xiangyue was probably fake, not genuine, a well-intentioned lie.
The money was one thing.
The key issue was…
Zheng Xiangyue’s body was simply not strong enough to endure the journey to the Moon.
Let alone whether she could make it to that day.
Even if she could make it…
how could her physical condition and frail heart withstand the rocket’s launch g-forces and the vacuum of space?
This was also a reality that had to be faced—
Zheng Xiangyue simply didn’t meet the strict requirements for traveling to the Moon; she was destined not to go!
And Zheng Xiangyue herself, she was also a sensible child.
She heard what everyone discussed every day and understood some truths…
Perhaps her ticket to the Moon was indeed fake.
12 million US dollars.
She had looked it up, nearly a billion Chinese yuan, money her brother Zheng Chenghe could never earn in several lifetimes.
Without money, how could she afford that ticket?
The issue of not being able to withstand the rocket’s acceleration she didn’t quite understand, but there were plenty of informative videos online, and she roughly grasped the reality…
She truly couldn’t board a rocket.
After all, her original dream was just to be buried on the Moon after her death; she never dared to hope to stand alive on the Moon.
Amidst these conflicting thoughts, Zheng Xiangyue lived day after day.
Everyone who saw her always smiled and showed kindness, encouraging her to hold on, to overcome her illness, and to take a spaceship to the Moon someday!
She naturally also smiled in return, accepting the encouragement, accepting people’s kindness.
Previously, she had indeed received a call from someone claiming to be the boss of Space-T, Jask.
The person had congratulated her on winning the ticket and confirmed that she had the qualifications to go to the Moon.
Zheng Xiangyue had simply said thank you, feeling happy.
She hadn’t completely believed it.
Maybe, it was still a kind lie, made up by everyone to make her happy…
how could she disappoint everyone’s kindness?
Days went by just like that.
The people around her no longer talked about the ticket to fly to the Moon.
The Moon travel plan had seen no progress since that press conference, seemingly becoming indefinitely remote.
Zheng Xiangyue continued to undergo treatment, waiting for a suitable heart, and…
every night, gently holding her brother’s urn, sitting on the balcony, bathing in the moonlight and gazing at that unreachable star, 380,000 kilometers away.
But unexpectedly!
Today!
The boss of Space-T, Jask, actually came to her hospital room himself!
“Yes.”
Jask smiled, pulled out the “ticket to the Moon” from his suit pocket, and handed it to Zheng Xiangyue:
“Zheng Xiangyue, the call before was indeed made by me; your ticket to the Moon is also real.”
“But…”
Zheng Xiangyue, somewhat trembling, took the ticket and looked at Jask:
“But that 12 million US dollars…”
“Haha, someone has already paid for you.”
Jask reassured Zheng Xiangyue to keep the ticket:
“Although revealing the mystery now may disappoint some people’s kindness, I don’t want to see such a lovely little girl doubt the authenticity of the ticket.
So…
I’ll just tell you directly.”
