Different Paths

Updates began January 1 (a fresh start for the new year). The story is complete, and will update daily until the ending. Coming to an end soon.

Lu Guanlan, son of Zhao Shiwei, deputy head of the Alliance capital planet, is seen by others as this sort of person: Have you ever seen an escort ship? The kind that carries star-core energy crystals? You know how captivating they are, and you know they are armed to the teeth. But to Liang Sanhe, he seems to have little experience of the world. It's like someone who has seafood feasts all the time suddenly discovering a kind of corn they've never tried before. It's rare, and they're delighted. But corn is everywhere once you go outside. Two yuan a cob.

Liang Sanhe, from Weiyuan County on Keso Star, a little-known planet in the Alliance's far northwest, is seen by others as this sort of person: ...Forget it, she's too ordinary for people to remember her, let alone have an opinion of her. But if you remind them, "She's the girl who often wears a mouse-gray school uniform with 'Jigai High School' printed on the back," they might suddenly remember. "Oh, her. She's pretty tall, average-looking, and she stutters." But to Lu Guanlan, she's a rare person who practices what she preaches, someone who never lets others down, someone clever and brave, someone whose standards for a partner would be hard to meet in this star system, and someone who's cold and heartless...

A special note: In this parallel interstellar world, university dorm rooms are assigned by drawing lots, and students from different majors share rooms. High school lasts four or five years. University lasts six years, with no distinction between undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral students. Students don't get summer vacation (the author says this is inhuman). Please don't scrutinize the details about the courses.

Theme: As long as you don't stop, everything will pass.
