Chapter 1341: Chapter 1250: Interstellar Life 21

Sun Jie said with great certainty about whether Shuangshuang would find it difficult, "Shuangshuang won’t mind the hardship. She’s the most eager to learn child I’ve ever met.

You don’t understand her— for Shuangshuang, learning is a kind of joy. If you are willing to teach her wholeheartedly, she’ll be more than happy to learn."

After thinking carefully, Gu Yue and Wei An realized it was true. Whenever Pei Shuangshuang studied, her eyes would light up, and her entire being was filled with enthusiasm.

She studied because she wanted to learn, not just for the sake of it. In fact, Pei Shuangshuang was indeed interested in the learning methods of the interstellar era.

For Pei Shuangshuang, learning about cultivating spiritual power, constructing a spiritual map, and uncovering another being’s genetic map, among other things, was as fun as playing, and indeed very interesting.

So when Sun Jie asked if she wanted more teachers and was willing to work harder, Pei Shuangshuang happily agreed.

From then on, Pei Shuangshuang had three teachers devoted to her education, starting a life where she was constantly surrounded by her teachers both in and out of class.

Among them, Gu Yue was the most strict and demanding, and Pei Shuangshuang spent most of her time learning from Gu Yue. To make it easier to teach her, Gu Yue even had Pei Shuangshuang live at her home.

Because she was busy with her studies, Pei Shuangshuang became somewhat distant from Guo Yueyue and Yao Yiqi.

Primarily because she was busy studying year-round. Later, she became so occupied she didn’t even have time to return to her dormitory, naturally leaving little time to interact with the two, and over time their relationship faded.

Pei Shuangshuang did not force things. To her, friends are a bonus, but not essential; she continued on her own path. Time flew by, and before she knew it, Pei Shuangshuang was eighteen years old.

Nowadays, Pei Shuangshuang often had a smile on her face, her temperament gentle and approachable, easily inspiring trust in others— an aura she had intentionally cultivated over the years.

For a Genetic Repairer, having a demeanor that encourages patients to feel comfortable around you can make the healing process much smoother.

Wen Caide had left Pei Shuangshuang years ago, as Pei Shuangshuang’s performance had completely set her mind at ease, confirming that Pei Shuangshuang was free from any childhood shadows.

Wen Caide was a very responsible Nurturer, and although Pei Shuangshuang was a child she cared for with all her heart, she wasn’t her only focus; Wen Caide’s duty was to nurture many more children.

So, reluctantly, Wen Caide bid farewell to Pei Shuangshuang and returned to A7962 Star. Originally, Pei Shuangshuang intended to say A7962 Star was too remote, hoping to have her teachers help transfer Wen Caide to the Capital Star.

This wasn’t Pei Shuangshuang looking to provide a backdoor for Wen Caide; if Wen Caide weren’t an excellent Nurturer, Pei Shuangshuang wouldn’t have asked just because she treated her well.

In Pei Shuangshuang’s heart, Wen Caide was truly a superb Nurturer. Her love for children was genuine, and many students benefited from her care during their school years.

Wen Caide had unparalleled patience with the children, and her spiritual power far surpassed that of ordinary Nurturers. Once she confirmed Pei Shuangshuang no longer needed her constant attention, she left school to do volunteer work.

Once, she managed to calm over a dozen children who had become reclusive due to being frightened by an accident. Such powerful spiritual power was enough to earn her a gold medal Nurturer level.

If someone like her were to waste away on a remote place like A7962 Star, Pei Shuangshuang felt it would be a loss and a waste.

However, Wen Caide didn’t see it as a waste. She kindly declined Pei Shuangshuang’s suggestion: "Shuangshuang, I understand your feelings, but I cannot agree."

"Why not, Sister Caidie? It’s not that I look down on A7962 Star, nor do I dismiss my home planet. I want you to stay because your talents cannot be realized there."

If Sister Caidie were here on Capital Star, there are far more children in need of help, and excellent Nurturers are much needed. You’ve recently done volunteer work here, so you should understand this best.

If Sister Caidie were here, you’d be able to help tenfold or even dozens-fold more people than on A7962 Star. Of course, there’s a selfish wish on my part; I don’t want to be separated from you.

Sister Caidie working as a Nurturer on Capital Star could help more people and still be with me. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?"

Pei Shuangshuang looked at Wen Caide genuinely unwilling to part. Over the years, though she called Wen Caide elder sister, she was more than just a sister to her.

She was a gentle mother, an understanding confidante, a trustworthy friend. Wen Caide gave her the best comfort when she came into this world at her most difficult times.

Faced with Pei Shuangshuang’s plea, Wen Caide, though reluctant, resolutely shook her head again: "Shuangshuang, of course, I know I can help more children here."

But Shuangshuang, do you know, this is the Capital Star, the place that gathers the Federation’s finest Nurturers, and there are many better than I. No matter how many children there are, they have no shortage of caregivers.

But A7962 Star is different. As you said, it’s underdeveloped— it has fewer children in need of help, yet it similarly lacks Nurturers on A7962 Star.

If no Nurturer is willing to stay on such a remote star, then how will the hurt children on that star manage?

To the children on Capital Star, I may be dispensable, but to the children in need on A7962 Star, I am essential. So I cannot stay."

Because of what Wen Caide said, young Pei Shuangshuang never again tried to persuade her otherwise. She recalled from the previous world those teachers who went to teach in mountainous areas for the children’s sake.

It was a belief, an act of compassion. How many people proclaimed their kindness but only spoke it, while others, who said nothing, acted upon it.

After Wen Caide left, Pei Shuangshuang could only take a month-long trip on a Cosmic Ship each year during the longest summer vacation to visit Wen Caide on A7962 Star, staying for only a few days before another month-long return.

Most summers, Pei Shuangshuang spent her time aboard the Cosmic Ship, just to spend those few days reuniting with Wen Caide.

Wen Caide felt for Pei Shuangshuang’s frequent traveling and sometimes visited Capital Star when she had no children to care for, though both were always in a hurry.

This year, having visited Wen Caide and bidding each other goodbye, Pei Shuangshuang boarded the Cosmic Ship back to Capital Star.

Midway, while transferring ships at the Space Station, Pei Shuangshuang habitually visited the Tree-man Clan’s dessert shop to pass the time.

Pei Shuangshuang sat in her old spot, mentally reviewing the knowledge she had learned.

However, today the dessert shop seemed a bit rowdy. There seemed to be some argument not far off, but Pei Shuangshuang didn’t mind, opening her personal terminal to study a bit.
