came to his lips much more easily than I.But Alai had left something behind. Ender lay in bed, dozing into the night, and felt Alai's lips on his cheek ashe muttered the word peace. The kiss, the word, the peace were with him still. I am only what I remember, andAlai is my friend in memories so intense that they can't tear him out. Like Valentine, the strongest memory of all.The next day he passeed Alai in the corridor, and they greeted each other, touched hands, talked, but they bothknew that there was a wall now. It might be breached, that wall, sometime in the future, but for now the only realconversation between them was the roots that had already grown low and deep, under the wall, where they couldnot be broken.The most terrible thing, though, was the fear that the wall could never be breached, that in his heart Alai wasglad of the separation, and was ready to be Ender's enemy. For now that they could not be together, they must beinfinitely apart, and what had been sure and unshakable was now fragile and insubstantial; from the moment weare not together, Alai is a stranger, for he has a life now that will be no part of mine, and that means that when Isee him we will not know each other.It made him sorrowful, but Ender did not weep. He was done with that. When they had turned Valentine into astranger, when they had used her as a tool to work on Ender, from that day forward they could never hurt himdeep enough to make him cry again. Ender was certain of that.And with that anger, he decided he was strong enough to defeat them, the teachers, his enemies.Chapter 11 -- Veni Vidi Vici"You can't be serious about this schedule of battles.""Yes I can."第 183 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
