Chapter 765: Chapter 8 Xiangyue!
Departure!
To the Moon!
Zheng…Zheng Xiangyue?!
Lin Xian was looking at the white-haired old woman standing before him, tied in a neat ponytail, who was well over a hundred years old but still appeared sprightly, moving and speaking with great fluidity…
Zheng Xiangyue.
In his reality of 2024, he had only just parted ways with her no more than two days ago.
Back then, she was just a frail little girl with a heart condition, so frail and alone that anyone who saw her couldn’t help but pity her.
She was always wearing electromagnetic patches linked with various wires, which even made moving freely a problem.
Now, facing this old granny…

Lin Xian found it genuinely difficult to associate these two “Zheng Xiangyues” together!
However,
the small laminated piece of paper he held in his hand seemed to be the ironclad proof of Zheng Xiangyue’s identity.
Because…
this small paper was, under the watchful eyes of Lin Xian, written meticulously by a teenage Zheng Xiangyue.
Probably because she seldom wrote, her strokes were crooked and twisted, which made it even more memorable for Lin Xian.
Initially, Zheng Xiangyue only wrote the first two items;
Lately, under the influence of his own motivational pep talks, she added a third one–
[Be a kind-hearted person.]
Just as she was acting now, a person who returned from the advanced Mars to the more primitive Earth…
helping a group of people transition to a modern way of life, learning agriculture and metallurgy, establishing villages, and propagating life.
Although this might not seem like anything significant,
in this special era, on this special Earth, Zheng Xiangyue, descending from Mars, brought people knowledge and hope…
Such a gift was akin to a fairy descending to Earth.
Oddly,
Lin Xian recalled the words he had once said to Zheng Xiangyue:
“Be a kind person, be a loving person, extend a helping hand to those in need, offer affection to those who crave care.”
“Once capable, unfold your grand plans to serve the country; if not capable, then return to East Sea and build up your hometown.”
“In any case, if you can continue this kindness and love, that will be the best way to reward me, your brother, and everyone else who has helped you.”
…
Unexpectedly,
it truly became a self-fulfilling prophecy!
Zheng Xiangyue managed to survive till the future, obviously cured her congenital heart disease, and indeed…
returned to East Sea to “build up her hometown”!
Lin Xian understood truly,
Zheng Xiangyue definitely didn’t remember any of these words, and she even confessed that hibernation-induced amnesia had made her forget everything, even standing face to face and not recognizing who she was.
The reason why the old granny, Zheng Xiangyue, looked at him so astonished now was completely because the name ‘Lin Xian’ happened to appear on this small piece of paper.
She must have been searching for the name for a long time.
She really wanted to find the person who she had written on her wish list, to understand what had happened in the past, or perhaps…
truly, as written on the wish list, to properly express gratitude to this once ‘big brother’.
At this moment,
Lin Xian suddenly understood why Wei Shengjin had repeatedly reminded him not to use honorifics but to simply call by names.
Previously, he never completely understood this necessity and even felt it impolite.
But now… he finally understood why nobody used titles of relation on Mars.
Because it was too awkward!
Like now,
how should he address Zheng Xiangyue?
Should he still call her little sister affectionately as he had a few days ago, when her hair had turned all white?
Or should he let this centenarian, almost as old as his grandmother’s grandmother, call him ‘brother Lin Xian’?
This feeling, while not exactly horrifying, was indeed quite uncomfortable.
Nor could they just split the difference—him calling her grandmother and her calling him brother would only make things even more chaotic.
Thinking it over,
Wei Shengjin’s suggestion was indeed wise; since everyone’s age and generational ranks had gotten scrambled during the hibernation era, excluding direct family relations, calling by names alone would solve all awkward issues.
Truly,
seeing Zheng Xiangyue healthy and having lived over a century, and then finding her own value to shine brightly, Lin Xian felt sincerely happy.
Happy for Zheng Xiangyue, and also happy for his own good deeds and intentions.
All this while…
Although Lin Xian didn’t quite want to admit it,
his actions to alter the future seemed to always backfire, turning many things into a mess.
Yet the appearance of Zheng Xiangyue in The Fifth Dreamland,
was like a bright moonlight, illuminating the lagging Earth as well as his gloomy dreamland.
Lin Xian was curious.
Had Zheng Xiangyue realized her dream?
Had she visited the Moon?
Thus, he began to ask:
“So you—””Zheng, Zheng Xiangyue!!!”
Before Lin Xian could finish, he was abruptly interrupted by a loud shout from Wei Shengjin.
Wei Shengjin was very excited.
He had nearly jumped up.
Staring at the village chief granny before him, his voice trembled:
“Moon…
Moon girl Zheng Xiangyue!
You are still alive!
Ah, no no no…
sorry.
I’m just shocked, oh my…
I never expected to meet a character from a textbook on Earth!”
A character from a textbook?
Lin Xian looked at Wei Shengjin quizzically:
“What do you mean?”
Wei Shengjin swallowed, steadied his emotions, and said:
“”The Moon Girl,” this essay, is a text in middle school textbooks.
I was just a teenager going into middle school when I hibernated.
After waking up from hibernation, I had forgotten everything, my mind was a blank slate, except my language functions weren’t lost, because in brain architecture, language and memory are not managed by the same areas; language skills wouldn’t be lost over a long duration of hibernation.”
