Chapter 1536 "Didn't you want to go to space?"
Once the others stepped aside, Shen Suyuan could finally see the two enormous things they were fiddling with. They looked like two giant refrigerators, but much larger, probably five or six meters tall.
She curiously leaned closer.
Both items were matte white, gleaming softly in the night.
The outer shell is not smooth; it has deep and shallow patterns, like some kind of energy circuit or rune pattern, extending from the base to the top. It looks high-tech and is not something you usually see.
One of the cabin doors was open, revealing a brighter interior with soft light filtering through, as well as some intricate seats and panels.
"what is this?"
Shen Suyuan couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The touch was cool and delicate, unlike the hard metal, it had a warm and smooth texture.
She turned to look at Lu Feng, her eyes full of curiosity: "Don't tell me this is the latest model refrigerator, and we're going to open an open-air ice bar here."
Lu Feng walked to her side, raised his hand and touched the white hull, his smile deepening.
“This isn’t a refrigerator.” He looked at her, his eyes reflecting the distant starlight. “This is a launch bay.”
"Launch pod?"
Shen Suyuan was stunned for a moment, not realizing what those three words meant.
Lu Feng lowered his head and leaned closer, his voice exceptionally clear in the mountain breeze: "Haven't you always been saying you wanted to go to space to see what the universe is like?"
Shen Suyuan's mind went blank for a moment, as if something had exploded in her ears.
Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the huge white creature before her, then at Lu Feng. Her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing her dazed expression, Lu Feng smiled and ruffled her hair: "It can happen today."
Shen Suyuan stood there, as if she had been paralyzed by acupuncture.
She looked at the large white machine in front of her, then at Lu Feng, and then at the open hatch and the softly lit seats inside.
Then I looked back at Lu Feng.
Under the moonlight, his face was smiling, and his eyes were incredibly gentle, as if he were just saying something as ordinary as "I'll take you out for a nice meal tomorrow."
But he was talking about space.
That is the highest mountain ever built by humankind.
Even for those technologically advanced countries, going to space requires paying a huge price.
My eyes suddenly stung, and something welled up uncontrollably.
She blinked desperately, trying to suppress the heat, but the more she blinked, the blurrier she became, until finally she couldn't see anything at all, only the outline of the man in front of her remained firmly in place.
“Ah Feng......…”
Her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't recognize herself.
The next second, she pounced on him.
She crashed into his arms, burying her face in his chest, her hands gripping the back of his shirt tightly.
Lu Feng was knocked back a little bit by the impact, but he quickly regained his balance and reached out to wrap his arms around her.
Her shoulders were trembling, and she bit her lip, trying not to make a sound, but soft sobs still escaped from her throat.
Tears seeped into his sweater, spreading a small, warm patch.
Nie Zhan, who was standing to the side waiting for the next instructions, froze for a second upon seeing this scene.
Then he coughed.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet mountainside.
As if a switch had been flipped, the dozen or so bodyguards in black all turned around at once, facing in different directions, staring at the distant mountains, the rocks at their feet, and the trees overhead, but refusing to look in their direction.
Someone moved too abruptly and almost stepped on the foot of their colleague next to them.
Lu Feng looked down at the person in his arms, patted her back gently, and let her vent her emotions without saying a word.
After a while, the muffled sobbing in her arms gradually subsided.
"OK OK."
Lu Feng smiled and gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertips, his hand covered in tears.
"Don't cry, or you'll turn into a little kitten."
"We're going to space today. It would look terrible if we had our faces painted. If aliens saw us, they'd think that's what Earthlings look like."
Shen Suyuan, who had been sobbing, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this, a laugh that sounded like she was about to cry.
She lifted her head from Lu Feng's embrace, her eyes and nose were red, and there were still water droplets on her eyelashes.
She just looked at him, without asking where the launch pod came from, how he did it, or any other questions.
She just looked at him.
Because this man had never lied to her.
Lu Feng's heart softened at her gaze. He reached out and wiped away the remaining tear stains on her face, then took her hand and led her toward the open hatch.
"Come on, let's go up."
Shen Suyuan sniffed, walked to the cabin door, and cautiously peeked inside.
The interior was more spacious than she had imagined, with a seat that looked somewhat like that of a luxury sedan, but thicker and more supportive.
In front of the seat is a huge curved panel, which is currently dark.
The surrounding bulkheads gleamed with a soft white sheen, just like the outer shell she had just touched—warm, smooth, and delicate.
Following Lu Feng's instructions, she carefully stepped inside and sat down in the chair.
The seat was softer than she had imagined, but after she sat down, something automatically adjusted itself, supporting her firmly.
There was something like a seatbelt next to her. As she hesitated about how to fasten it, the straps slid over automatically and gently fastened around her.
The hatch began to close slowly.
A low, mechanical sound rang out, as if something was starting up, and a slight vibration came from underfoot.
Shen Suyuan tensed up immediately, gripping the armrests of the seat tightly, and her breathing became rapid.
This is not taking an airplane.
This is going to space.
This is the first time in her life.
She instinctively turned her head to look for Lu Feng, only to find that the cabin door had already been closed.
My heart skipped a beat, and just as I was about to speak, the huge curved screen in front of me suddenly lit up.
Lu Feng's face appeared on the screen, smiling at her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm getting on too."
His voice came from somewhere inside the cabin, clear and reassuring: "Look to your right."
Shen Suyuan turned her head and could vaguely see the white launch bay next to her through the bulkhead on her side.
There, Lu Feng was sitting inside, waving to her through the transparent hatch.
"We'll be there soon. Close your eyes and feel it. Don't be nervous."
His voice rang out again, "When you open your eyes again, the outside world will be the universe."
Shen Suyuan looked at him, her heartbeat slowly calming down.
She nodded and smiled at him on the screen.
Just then, the entire cabin suddenly shook violently, as if something had been ignited, and a powerful force surged from below, pressing her into the seat.
Shen Suyuan's breath hitched, and she instinctively gripped the handrail tightly.
The large screen in front of us started displaying a countdown...
