Chapter 82 Colorful Flames (Different Choices)

Late at night, Heimer had a sad dream.

In the dream, Heimer was on an isolated island, and the only person who accompanied him had also left on a boat.

Chi Haimo: "Ha! Huh!"

Heimer woke up from the bed, gasping for breath. After taking several deep breaths, he slowly calmed down.

After wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Heimer took out his pocket navigator and checked the time, only to find that it was only one o'clock in the morning.

(Well, I’ll have nightmares after falling asleep anyway, so I might as well go out and get some fresh air.)

Heimer tiptoed downstairs and when passing by the dark laboratory, he suddenly found a strange green fire in the laboratory. Heimer curiously approached and saw a strange figure behind the green fire.

Chi Haimo: “Ah!”

The figure behind the green fire was also startled by Heimer's shout.

Xue Lianman: "Hey, what's your name?"

Heimer took a closer look and realized that the figure was Xue Lingman.

Chi Haimo: "You scared me, I thought it was a ghost, ah, what are you doing?"

Xue Lianman: "Doing a test assignment on flame color reaction."

Chi Haimo: "Then why don't you turn on the light?"

Faced with Heimer's question, Xueling looked embarrassed and answered in a low voice.

Xue Lianman: "Well, because I was afraid that the fire would get bigger and burn down the lab, so I only lit a small flame."

Xue Lingman's explanation confused Heimer.

Chi Haimo: "Ah, so, why don't you turn on the light?"

Xue Lianman said a little embarrassedly.

Xue Lianman: "Well, it's because the flame is too small. It's hard to tell what color it is when I turn on the light and take a picture with a camera, so I turned off the light."

Seeing this, Heimer went straight into the laboratory and turned on the lights. He put on gloves, picked up the metal that had spilled on the table with tweezers, and said to Xue Lianman.

Chi Haimo: "It's easier to burn down the lab if you do experiments in the dark like this."

Xue Lianman: "Hehehe, it seems so."

After cleaning the table, Heimer picked up the camera and said to Xue Lianman.

Chi Haimo: "Don't use a small flame this time, just start, I'll help you take pictures."

Xue Lianman: "Ah? This is not good."

Facing Xue Lingman's panic, Heimer spoke to her with full confidence.

Chi Haimo: "Don't worry, I'm next to you. Even if there is any accident, I will help you deal with it. If I take pictures, you can concentrate on the experiment. Besides, with your strength, you will definitely be fine. When I asked you the names of those reagents today, you knew what they were at a glance. So, I believe that you will be fine. You should also believe in yourself more."

There seemed to be a kind of relaxing magic on Heimer's body. Hearing Heimer say this in his delicate and warm voice, Xue Lingman's tension in her heart seemed to be swept away at this moment.

Xue Lianman: "Well, okay..."

With Heimer's company and encouragement, Xue Lingman's hands, which started to tremble whenever she operated, gradually became much more stable.

After a while, flames of various colors came into Heimer's eyes, strange and bright green, bright and dazzling yellow, and even a color as blue as the sea.

Looking at the flames in front of him, Heimer couldn't help but sigh.

Chi Haimo: "So beautiful..."

Xue Lianman chuckled and said.

Xue Lianman: "Well, it's beautiful, isn't it? A slight change in the chemical substances will cause the color of the flame to change randomly. The flame color reaction is so fascinating."

Chi Haimo: "Hmm..."

At this time, Xue Lianman moved a little closer to Heimer and said a little shyly.

Xue Lianman: "So, deciding what chemical to put in is crucial to the color of the flame. If you put it in the wrong way, you might end up with a color you don't like at all."

Chi Haimo: "Well, yes."

Xue Lianman slowly moved her hand closer to Heimer's hand, and at this time Heimer was looking at the flame in the vessel, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

(If the flame color reaction is used in the gorgeous competition, perhaps a rainbow-like flame can be created!)

After thinking about this, Heimer turned around happily and wanted to tell Xiao Shun, but when he turned around, he found that the person next to him was Xue Lianman.

The joy in his eyes disappeared without a trace the moment he didn't see Xiaoshun.

Xue Lianman noticed Heimer's disappointment, quickly withdrew her hand and asked worriedly.

Xue Lianman: "Who were you thinking about just now?"

Chi Haimo: "One, a person who has helped me a lot, is a very important friend to me."

Seeing Heimer's lost reaction just now, Xue Lingman was obviously very confused about his answer.

Xue Lianman: "Just, a close friend?"

When Heimer heard this question, he paused before answering.

Chi Haimo: Well, close friends, close friends are good enough... "

Xue Lianman: "If I have someone I particularly like, I will definitely not be content to just be his best friend."

Hearing this, Chi Haimo's eyes darkened. He took off his gloves in a panic, and then spoke to Xue Lianman with a choked voice.

Chi Haimo: "It's getting late, I'm going to rest first, you should go to bed early too."

After saying this, Heimer returned to his room, his steps heavy and slow, as if he was a clockwork puppet missing several parts, and lay paralyzed on the bed.

Looking at the ceiling with a starry sky pattern in Teacher Xue Lianman's room, Heimer felt like the star on the far right, lonely and withdrawn.

(I am afraid of change, whether in that world or in this world, I am afraid of change. Once friendship changes and an accident happens, there is no going back. But now it seems that there is no going back, Xiao Shun and I...)

That night, Heimer did not sleep all night, because he knew that if he fell asleep at this moment, he would have nightmares related to what he was thinking about now, as he was still reminiscing about the past. So, sometimes, insomnia might be good, very good...

At around seven o'clock in the morning, Heimer packed his luggage, got up quietly, went to the hall, took out a piece of paper and prepared to write a farewell letter to Xue Lianman.

Xue Lianman: "Heimer? You got up so early?"

Just as he was about to start writing, Heimer heard Xue Lingman's voice. He looked up and saw her standing at the door of the hall in sportswear, as if she had just returned from a morning run.

Chi Haimo: "Xiao Man, we are leaving. Thank you for letting us stay here."

Xue Lianman said after wiping the sweat off her face with the towel hanging around her neck.

Xue Lianman: "It's okay, you helped me too, we are helping each other, by the way, this is for you."

Xue Lianman took out a small notebook from her pocket and said with a smile.

Xue Lianman: "If the flame color reaction is used in the gorgeous competition, perhaps it will have a very good effect. Here is the method of making flames of various colors. Take it."

Heimer didn't expect that Xue Lingman's ideas coincided with his own.

Chi Haimo: "Thank you, by the way, I also have a gift for you."

After Heimer finished speaking, he took out a can of homemade tree juice and a small note from his bag.

Chi Haimo: "Drink this. I personally researched the ratio of this. After looking at your eating habits yesterday, this should be suitable for you."

Xue Lian was full of fruit tree juice and joked with a smile.

Xue Lianman: "As expected, a coordination trainer."

Chi Haimo: "Hahaha, you're flattered. But, in fact, these are also taught to me by my best friend."

Xue Lianman: "Well, he must be a very good person for you."

Chi Haimo: "Well, very good..."

Looking at Heimer's expression, Xue Lian asked tentatively.

Xue Reiman: "So, he is the formula for your optimal flame color?"

Chi Haimo: “Ah?”

Heimer was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, but he immediately realized what Xue Lingman was asking.

Perhaps it was because Heimer thought that Xue Lingman was just a passer-by and they might never meet again, so after a moment of silence, Heimer slowly opened his mouth and answered.

Chi Haimo: "To be honest, actually, yes. Actually, yes, I don't know when it started, but I..."

Before Heimer could finish, Xue Lianman patted him on the shoulder and said.

Xue Lianman: "Then go! Don't leave any regrets. After all, you only live once. Go."

Heimer did not answer, but said stiffly.

Chi Haimo: "Thank you."

Then, Heimer put on his backpack and continued his journey with the Pokémon.
