LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 91 The first festival after the end of the world
Sometimes she is a little confused. The positive timing provided by the system is a counting method, but she refuses to give up the original calendar.
The timing can tell her, oh, it is indeed a new day; but the calendar is like an anchor, firmly holding her perception of the day that has been gradually eroded by the abnormal weather in the apocalypse.
The calendar told her what month it was now, and if there was no apocalypse, it would be the coolest autumn. The calendar told her the solar terms and festivals, allowing her to mark an unusual day in her cyclical routine.
——Less than a week after the basic services were completely cut off, the "Mid-Autumn Festival" appeared on the blank calendar grid, breaking her out of her wandering state.
Indeed, she suddenly remembered the day when she set out to purchase and stock up with the community. At that time, moon cakes had already been sold in the supermarket, and the shadow of the Mid-Autumn Festival had quietly arrived, and now it has truly arrived.
Wow...how long ago was that?
It obviously didn't take long, just over half a month or ten days, so why do I think of it now as if it was a lifetime ago?
She suddenly felt some energy injected into her.
Who doesn’t love the holidays! Before the end of the world, she had been away from those randomly arranged vacations for some time, so she could enjoy every holiday without any burden.
She doesn’t care much about the meaning of the festival, but rather enjoys the festive atmosphere——
Every holiday is different! Interesting activities, different foods, festival culture, and the unique atmosphere created are all her favorite parts.
In her cognitive system, every festival has a color, which is not imposed, but seems to be an attribute given by nature.
In her heart, the Mid-Autumn Festival is yellow, the bright yellow is the moon, the burnt orange is like moon cakes, and other shades of yellow represent the romance of fallen leaves unique to autumn.
She realized it when she marked it on the calendar after midnight every day. Strangely enough, the word Mid-Autumn Festival was written there. She had seen it every day before, but it wasn't until that day that it seemed real. .
She clearly felt that her brain was "alive", as if she had dropped a stone into the small puddle of water.
There was a feeling of good joy filling her chest. She was suddenly full of interest and decided to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival.
According to the schedule, marking off the calendar after midnight is the time for exercise. Naturally, this cannot be compromised for the holidays. Wei Jiao happily got up and practiced vigorously for half an hour, and then practiced each weapon again.
It felt as fresh as seeing it for the first time.
After the break, there was a full eight hours of entertainment time for her to figure out how to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She had never cared about the original meaning of the holiday, so not being able to reunite was a completely insignificant problem that did not appear in her mind.
She first changed the look of her small bedroom.
The entire space was changed to an orange tone. A retro-style brown leather space chair was placed on the warm and sweet orange carpet. On both sides were simple and unsophisticated orange lamps, and on the other side was a small coffee table made of brown glass.
She would not watch movies or TV series for the moment today. With her activated brain, she suddenly wanted to do something for the first festival after the end of the world - or in other words, leave some records for herself.
She opened the design software and wanted to start with a design representing the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She favors smaller designs where design elements can be stacked more casually than formal posters.
She only had a vague idea in her mind at first. She could add elements of autumn leaves around it to form a frame. The background in the middle needed to be lightly processed, add a moon, and then write a simple copywriting in the middle.
How to implement it specifically needs to be conceived while looking at the material library.
There was a problem at this time - she had not clearly classified the design material files.
Even the entire category has not been completely separated. There are some specialized mobile hard drives, but not all of them have been found.
In fact, according to her before the apocalypse, she might have reached this point like a meme on the Internet, turning sharply in front of a street sign that said "Sudden Design Interest" and "A Tangled Material Library" and changed it. Going to organize the material library.
Then the material library was sorted out and was put away for other purposes not long after.
But now she feels that her mentality has changed. She can't explain why. Maybe it's because she knows that there will be a lot of time in the future, so she no longer pursues the safest moment to start?
Anyway, now, she is not busy categorizing. She just put the parts that she searched for with the keyword "autumn" into a folder, and then started browsing for inspiration.
While thinking about it, she took out the moon cake from the space, ordered a cup of coffee, and then took a bite of a small chocolate moon cake.
When it comes to mooncakes, she belongs to the camp of "No matter what the filling is, as long as it is wrapped in the shape of a mooncake, I will admit it is a mooncake." So she basically accepts all comers, and now there are many mooncakes on the table.
Traditional five kernels, bean paste, ham, new chocolate, custard and snowskin mooncakes, as well as some creative fillings, such as cheese taro puree, tea-flavored mung beans and egg yolk cheese.
Slowly eating mooncakes while drinking coffee, the final draft in my mind gradually became clear.
The background is made of light-colored blurred materials, which can be layered with gradient colors depending on the situation; the surroundings are decorated with fallen leaves materials from a hand-painted autumn element pack, which can create a three-dimensional effect that distinguishes distance from near.
She originally just wanted to call it "Mid-Autumn Festival" and focus on the font, but slowly, the focus of the design shifted from "Mid-Autumn Festival" to "Autumn", and she also wanted to change the copywriting in the middle to a poem.
Then inspiration burst out naturally - she could make it into a booklet, with each page being a poem, not just Mid-Autumn Festival, but a big theme of autumn.
Speaking of which, Wei Jiao has special feelings for autumn. It’s not that anything profound happened in autumn, but that she truly believes that autumn in City B is a magical season——
Even if she stays at home and doesn't go out, she will suddenly have a natural realization at a certain moment: I feel autumn.
This feeling is indescribable, either seeing it, smelling it, or...it's as if all the cells in the body have absorbed the charm of autumn, and then send an invitation to the owner of the body: Autumn is here!
What kind of magic is this? She was clearly sitting at home, but she seemed to see the bright blue sky in the distance, bathed in the golden honey-like sunshine, and seemed to have eaten roasted sweet potatoes and candied chestnuts.
As soon as autumn comes, the receptors in the body seem to be replaced with new ones. Breathing in the autumn air every day brings a satisfying joy.
… Could it be some kind of mysterious ancient genetic inheritance about the emotion of harvest?
She doesn't know that, but she knows that she belongs to the category of "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say autumn is better than spring."
Therefore, this poem was naturally typed into the center of the first design, replaced with an elegant calligraphy font, and then split into a layout, which turned out to be a greeting card for autumn.
The completion of the task brought an indescribable sense of joy, satisfaction and abundance, which made her suddenly feel that the circle of stone barriers seemed to have become lower and shorter, the water surface was vast, and the ripples created when swimming could spread far away .
