An equipped negative pressure ambulance, escorted by two police cars, left Donghai University Affiliated Hospital.
All three vehicles had their emergency lights flashing in unison, proceeding in a line at a measured pace toward the entrance of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway.
In the rear of the ambulance, Zheng Xiangyue sat propped against a large Rhine Cat Doll, her body festooned with electrode monitoring patches and wires.
On her lap rested an urn with black-and-white photographs, on top of which lay a fan’s notebook containing a folded Moon voyage ticket.
This was all of Zheng Xiangyue’s luggage.
It was also everything in her life of a little more than a decade.
There was so much beauty in the vast world, but what truly belonged to her amounted to just these four items.
After the long yet brief dozen or so hours were up, she would reach the farthest place she had ever been in her life—
the Imperial Capital.
At the Dragon Science Academy there, tests on the Hibernation Pods had already commenced; the first group of volunteers had been cryogenically frozen for over a year, currently in very stable conditions; the second group also had been frozen for more than half a year, using even more sophisticated Hibernation Pods with fewer side effects.
Now, waiting for Zheng Xiangyue was the third generation experimental Hibernation Pod, even more advanced than the one Xu Yiyi had used, but exactly how much more advanced she did not know…
nor did she wish to find out.
All she wanted was to sleep until she could reach a future capable of curing her, to heal, to strengthen her body, to fulfill the three wishes written down in the pink notebook:

1.Bury her brother on the Moon.
2.
Repay Lin Xian with gratitude.
3.
Be a kind and loving person.
“Xiangyue.”
The head nurse beside her gently stroked her hair and said tenderly,
“Hibernation…
are you scared of it?”
The head nurse held deep compassion for this unfortunate child.
Ever since Zheng Xiangyue was admitted to Donghai University Affiliated Hospital, she had been taking care of the little girl.
Years had passed.
She had long treated Zheng Xiangyue as her own sister, cherished in the same way.
Now.
This severely deteriorating little girl was finally willing to sleep in the Hibernation Pod and travel into the future, possibly decades or even centuries away, to seek a cure.
While she felt happy for Zheng Xiangyue, there was also a twinge of reluctance, as well as an unstoppable fear and concern welling up inside her.
“I’m not afraid!”
Zheng Xiangyue, rarely able to step outside to see the world, was still quite happy even though today she could only peer through the small window of the ambulance.
Watching the ever-changing scenery outside, she was quite content.
Swinging her little legs, she looked at the head nurse and grinned,
“Why would I be afraid?
Hibernation is just a long sleep, isn’t it?
What’s there to be scared of?”
The head nurse sighed gently.
Her heart was a mix of emotions.
If only the person accompanying Zheng Xiangyue to the hibernation today…
could be her brother, Zheng Chenghe.
But upon another thought.

Would that really be good?
Personally taking her sister to the Hibernation Pod was akin to saying goodbye forever.
Once hibernated, they might be separated by the vast river of time, never to meet again.
“My dear girl…
what I fear is your loneliness.”
The head nurse, looking at Zheng Xiangyue, spoke softly,
“I worry about the loneliness you might not bear upon waking from hibernation in a world of the future.
You might not understand it now…”
“Waking up in that unfamiliar future era, with no family, no friends, everything new yet strange, in such a big world yet without a place for you.”
“Xiangyue, are you sure you won’t be afraid?”
“I won’t be~”
Zheng Xiangyue blinked, pondering the words of the head nurse.
No family,
No friends,
Everything before her eyes fresh, yet unfamiliar,
The world so vast with no place for her.
She cocked her head and with clear eyes looked up, gazing into the eyes of the head nurse:
“[Isn’t that…
no different from now?]”
In that moment.
The head nurse could no longer hold back.
Her tear ducts collapsed, and bending over, she embraced Zheng Xiangyue and wept aloud.
Meanwhile.
The convoy comprised of two police cars and a negative pressure ambulance passed in front of a high-end hotel building.
As the three vehicles left, a Volkswagen sedan pulled out of the parking lot, passing by in the opposite direction from the arriving ambulance, heading back the way it came.
…
6:51 PM.
Outside a cozy Hunan Cuisine Restaurant, an exceptionally rare make and model of car—the Red Flag vehicle—was parked.
Passersby, male and female alike, were drawn by the imposing vehicle, some stopping to gaze, others discussing it amongst themselves, and many couldn’t resist taking pictures of the rare license plate to share with their friends.
On the third floor of the restaurant.
Within a six-person private booth, only three people and a dog were seated.
It was a Pomeranian, like a dandelion.
Right now, it was curled up on the carpet, licking its paws.
And the other three, chatty and smiling, were clearly a family: a stern but spirited father with partially white hair, a mother in a cheongsam with a gentle face, and a striking, vibrant daughter.
Zhao Yingjun, pointing to a few dishes that had just been served by the waiter, said to her mother, Yan Mei:
“Mom, haven’t you always loved Hunan cuisine, complaining that you can never find the real thing?
Give these dishes a try; I find them quite decent when I eat here.
Of course, the chilies surely won’t be as spicy as the authentic ones.
Nowadays, all so-called local dishes have to be somewhat adapted to local tastes.”
“Yeah…
I think they’re alright.”
Before Yan Mei could respond, Zhao Yingjun’s father, Zhao Ruihai, having been hungry for a while, grabbed a few bites with his chopsticks and commented,
