The inky black canopy spreads out in a vast expanse, and the silver starlight, yellow street lamps and white tail lights are intertwined into ink, which is magnificently and wantonly splashed out, and after slowly blurring, a layer of thick and deep navy blue is revealed, rippling little by little, smearing and outlining on the curtain, the shades are appropriate, wonderful, and the mystery of the universe and the mysterious reflection of the depths of the pupil make people unable to take their eyes off it.

The trivial stars scattered on the velvet at will, each seemingly prosaic and yet unique, as if each one was out of reach, yet all close at hand. Involuntarily, my eyes slowly deepened, carefully looking at the countless stars, and fantasizing about the landforms and worlds above those planets.

Lan Li loves the night sky of Los Angeles. Unlike the loftiness and coldness of New York, or the haze and gloom of London, Los Angeles is always so bright at night, with the dark reds, royal purples and azure blues of the skyline boiling and boiling, burning magnificently, calm but thrilling.

Standing quietly on the fifth-floor skybridge in the Hollywood Heights Center, the fierce night breeze whistling in your ears, it seems that you can soar lightly with just open arms, and the "HOLLYOOD" sign at the far end of the eye shines brightly under the night sky, and the empty and flat urban composition presents the whole world in front of you and at your feet.

The cheers and shouts of fans and reporters were bubbling like magma, and the party atmosphere was already spreading inside the Kodak Theater, and there was no rush to leave the theater two hours before Vanity Fair's Oscar night.

After the bankruptcy turmoil and the title turmoil, the Kodak Theater, "temporarily named Hollywood Highland Center", may be the last time to host the Oscars, and after a long 12 years, the dust has been sealed into the cabinet of history. It is precisely because of this "maybe" that everyone reluctantly stays in the Kodak Theater, leaving their proof of existence and remembering the good memories of the past.

However, Lan Li knew that Kodak had gone bankrupt, but the Kodak Theater had not, and later, the famous audio technology company Dolby Laboratories won the naming rights, so the Dolby Theater continued to be the venue for the Oscars, signing a 20-year cooperation agreement. So, the theater is still the same theater, but with a different name.

That's life. People always want to leave something behind to prove that they existed.

A figure appeared at the end of the overpass, noticing Lan Li in the night, the other party's footsteps paused slightly, and was about to leave, but after hesitating in place for a moment, he still walked over, the white dress hunted in the wind, like the ancient Greek goddess noble and upright, but not the goddess of beauty, but the goddess of war.

There were still three steps away from Lan Li, and his footsteps stopped early, no conversation, no dialogue, just leaning on the railing, raising his head, looking up at the sky, marveling at the brilliance and vastness of the stars, and quietly accepting the shock baptism of nature.

The appearance of strange visitors did not destroy the silence in the air, the noise and noise were still surging in the wind, and the silence and tranquility were still flowing on the overpass, and the two people seemed to be strangers who had no relationship or any intersection, just a moment of leisure when they met again.

"You say, what star is the rose garden on?" asked the woman next to her, her voice cold and hoarse stained with a little late night dew.

Rosarium. This is the rose garden in the fairy tale book "The Little Prince", where the little prince visits six different planets, and one of them meets a rose that is unique in the world.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth tugged slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "At least it's not the one you are referring to." The woman raised her right hand and pointed to a bright star in the sky, and Lan Li followed the direction of her finger, "That's the alpha of Pegasus." Then, Lan Li also raised his hand and traced the position of the stars in the night sky, "These three are all stars in the constellation Pegasus, and this one is the alpha of Andromeda, forming a quadrilateral." ”

As he spoke, Lan Li painted a quadrilateral shape in the void, and involuntarily, his fingertips paused, as if he had returned to his childhood, always looking up at the sky, doing nothing all night, bathing in the starlight, and gradually falling asleep.

Rooney-Mara raised her eyebrows, followed Lan Li's instructions, sketched the quadrilateral shape of the sky, and couldn't help but ask the location of Pegasus and Andromeda, and then Lan Li's deep voice came to her ears, explaining carefully, Rooney stretched out softly, gently, like a child, fantasizing that she could pick the stars by standing on tiptoe.

Before he knew it, the smile on his lips went up.

Retracted his gaze, retracted his fingers, and turned his head to look at Lan Li's side face, "Don't tell me that you're also an astronomer?"

"Huh. No. Lan Li smiled lowly, a slightly hoarse voice tumbling deep in his throat, "It's just that when I was a child, I liked to read miscellaneous books and learn some fur." If you continue to ask, I'll be exposed in no time. ”

Aristocratic education is a large and complex system. Some people wonder why the aristocracy seems to be so busy with nothing to do all day, and why does the aristocracy's spare time seem to be incomparably idle and fulfilling?

Reading was extremely important for the aristocracy.

In addition to art, philosophy, masterpieces, and those who pass the time, the aristocracy would read more or less books on natural science. Such as biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc. To give a simple example, every student who studies painting must study biology, anatomy, human body and other related subjects, and even have to dissect corpses themselves to understand the skeletal structure of the human body.

It often takes ten to fifteen years for a true nobleman to start a basic education and successfully become a teacher, and after that, there is a long process of precipitation. Centuries ago, aristocratic maidens would hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, partly because they were old and partly because they had completed their studies. It's a double meaning.

Lan Li is not polite and modest. He really only knows a little about astronomy, and outside of his own projects, he actually likes chemistry the most, just because of all kinds of chemical reactions and chemical experiments, which are full of mischievous fun.

"Even if you know the fur, it's very rare, tell me, does it work?" Rooney said with a smile in her eyes.

There was no beginning or end, and suddenly there was a sentence of "Does it work", but Lan Li understood it at once: a sharp weapon for pick-up. Through a small conversation in astronomy, we naturally get closer to each other and successfully strike up a conversation.

Lan Li couldn't help but retract his gaze and glanced at Rooney, "I'm not sure, it's up to you to answer." Does it work?" Lan Li saw Rooney raise his eyebrows, and the heroic eyebrows met his gaze without showing weakness, and then he heard Rooney's answer, "It's a little bit hot." ”

Lan Li gently retracted her chin and replied seriously, "I will continue to work hard." ”

Rooney also nodded his head in agreement solemnly, and then gave his opinion, "You know, a real master will definitely not be so honest. You should walk behind the woman, raise your hand naturally and affectionately, draw the outline of the constellation, present it in the woman's sight, and then, you know......"

The words that followed turned into a grunt, rolling in his throat, but he didn't say it after all. Rooney shrugged her shoulders, hiding her embarrassment and jerkiness, especially under Lan Li's scorching and focused gaze, there was a kind of embarrassment that there was nowhere to hide, she cautiously raised her gaze, glanced at it, and then saw those bright eyes.

The stars in the sky are reflected in the dark brown pupils, faintly fainting a shallow smile, shallow warmth, shallow halo, slowly rippling, even the Milky Way hanging in the sky is eclipsed;

Rooney's cheeks were immediately stained with two clusters of redness, and she looked away in a panic, pretending to be calm, stiffening her face, pretending not to care, clearing her throat, and continuing, "Your method is still too immature, well, there is still a lot to learn. The fragmented words, Rooney didn't even know what she was talking about, and she secretly clenched her fists in her heart, annoyed.

"Huh. Lan Li's throat rang out with a muffled laugh, slightly hoarse, as if dyed with a thick night, not inky black, but navy blue, delicate and soft as velvet.

Rooney closed her eyes tightly, gritted her teeth fiercely, and muttered in a low voice, "Damn it." ”

"I can understand that you are giving out an invitation?" Lan Li's voice came, and Rooney opened her eyes in fright, "No! absolutely not!" But after saying it, Rooney realized that she was in a mess, and closed her eyes again, helpless and depressed, but the smile on the corner of her mouth still rose involuntarily.

"You did it on purpose, right?" Rooney finally reacted, sensing Lan Li's prank, she couldn't help but bite her lower lip lightly, angry and funny, thinking about it, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Lan Li spread her hands innocently, "Did I do something wrong?" Or should I walk behind you and show you the silhouette of Pegasus?"

Hang as high as Haman. Rooney opened her eyes, rolled her eyes, and squinted at Lan Li, "Ha-ha!" and laughed dryly, "Very funny." Rooney adjusted her posture, puffed up her chest, raised her chin, and looked bitter, "I'm just giving some more advice, advice from a lady, you know, to help you understand women better, maybe, when you have the opportunity in the future, you can use it." ”

Lan Li's face still had that smiling expression, and the tail of his eyebrows raised slightly, "Are you sure?"
