Gu Lance only took two people and followed Yuan Yunshu to the stargazing bar on the top of the mountain in the suburbs.

The team members led by Yuan Yunshu arrived at the bar yesterday, and Yuan Yunshu only rushed to the meeting today because he wanted to lead a group of people from Gu Qi.

On the way, Yuan Yunshu slowly drove a silver-gray Audi, and did not forget to give a general introduction to tonight's meteor shower and stargazing bar with the team members of Gu Lance: "The Perseid meteor shower appears in the Northern Hemisphere from July 20 to August 20 every year, this meteor shower is not only numerous, but also never absent in the summer starry sky, many non-professional meteor observers come to the United States to see this meteor shower at this time, but few people know about the existence of this stargazing bar." ”

Her voice flowed into everyone's heads like a rippling spring: "The owner of the bar, Gillis, is an astronomical enthusiast himself, and he came to the mountains here to watch the Perseid meteor shower when he was in college, and later learned that this Perseid meteor shower will occur every year, so he built a unique bar at such a wonderful stargazing spot." ”

The silver-gray car slowly drove into a quiet town at the foot of the mountain like an icebreaker bound for Antarctica, and Gu turned off his phone and glanced out the window.

The village is dotted with dozens of families on a sunny day, the houses here are all bungalows, there is no sign of high-rise buildings, the white walls of some houses are crawling with grass and vines, like a green box, the white walls of some houses are sprayed with paint to make dazzling dynamic cartoons, some shops are locals who have carved a window on one wall of the house, and a wooden sign is hung on one side of the wall to explain what items are specially supplied in the store, and the streets are full of tourists who come to stargazing with their bags, and rarely see the locals, only glimpses the locals from those boxy and somewhat dim windows。

Yuan Yunshu parked his car in front of a house made of unpretentious reddish-brown stones, splashed with layers of blue paint, and the roof was made of solid trunks cut into rectangular shapes.

Strangely, this house has no door.

"Postoffice, this is a post office!" Dooku walked to the door, staring at the white paint on the side of the door.

"This post office is never closed, you can send letters at any time, and it is safest to park your car here. Yuan Yunshu took out a heavy huge green backpack from the back compartment, locked the car, turned his head and said to Gu Lance and his party: "Let's hurry up the mountain, it's still bright, maybe we can have Gillis's afternoon tea." ”

Gu Lance looked up at the sky, the sky was cloudless, blue as the sea, it was a good weather, suitable for stargazing.

Yuan Yunshu, who had walked a few steps with his bag on his back, found that Gu Lance hadn't followed, so he stopped and waited for him.

At this time, Gu Lance was wearing black trousers, black long-sleeved shirt, his whole person was bathed in warm light, his side face looking up at the sky was so calm, and he was in this village that admired white, at that moment, she felt that Gu Lance was like Chaplin in the modern era.

Xing Xu Gu Lance noticed Yuan Yunshu's gaze, lowered his head, and followed silently.

Fortunately, there is a cement road that has been built to the top of the mountain, otherwise each of them is carrying at least more than 20 catties of equipment and equipment, and they may not even be able to climb to the top of the mountain, let alone look at the stars.

The trip up the mountain took about two hours, winding through a hill before climbing to a higher mountain.

In this midsummer, the wind in the afternoon was obviously hot, and they walked sweating profusely, and their clothes were soaked with sweat, so Gu Lance had to replace the black long-sleeved shirt and put on a black T-shirt.

In the meantime, when they were tired of walking, they looked for a big tree to stop and rest, and when they rested in the shade, they looked down the mountain, and their eyes were full of dark green, and then they looked down the mountain, and the green leather clothes gradually degenerated, revealing dark brown or gray-white rocks.

Arriving at the Stargazing Bar, I met the bar owner Gillis preparing a table of afternoon tea to entertain Yuan Yunshu's team.

The bar is small, but the suspended balcony built of wood on the edge of the cliff is very spacious, enough to fit six silver-gray Audis, and they have already set up their deck chairs here in advance, and there is also a space for photography equipment.

Although it is a bar, no one drinks alcohol, just in case you get drunk and miss the meteor shower, then everyone will be busy in vain.

Gillis was a tall, very thin man, with honey-brown curly hair, blue eyes, and a face that was always gloomy, as if everyone owed millions in debt.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he explained in a humorous tone: "No way, my wife used to be very fond of the stars and wanted me to pluck them from the sky, so I looked at the stars at night and wondered how to pluck them all. ”

Even though he didn't take the stars off, he took his wife home. Yuan Yunshu said with a smile on the side.

The crowd was puzzled.

"He's not just stargazing, he's a foodie. Yuan Yunshu took a sip of Ou Lei milk tea, glanced at Gillis, and said with a smile in his eyes: "His wife Maria is an Indian, he met when he went to India to observe a certain celestial phenomenon, Maria's family is not good, when he met Maria, Maria was almost hungry, so he invited Maria into his residence, and he made a Kuma for her." ”

"Is Kuma horse meat?" asked Shock, quippingly.

"No, it's a non-spicy Indian curry, and then Gillis revamped it and mixed it with American-style curry into a new one. ”

"I looked at the table, and there was no curry. Xiao Ke looked around the whole table, except for the milk tea cake pie, there was no main meal at all.

The ancient lance glanced at Xiao Ke, and Xiao Ke understood.

"That's not going to work, we have to try this amazing curry. Shook shouted loudly in English.

The others also coaxed, but Yuan Yunshu lost the excitement of telling the story just now, and Gillis, who was standing next to him, hesitated, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and turned around and entered the house.

Soon, Gillis came out with a plate of curry.

In fact, it looks like a regular curry, pale yellow, which seems to be mixed with some chopped nuts, and of course there are potatoes in it, which are not lumpy, but are ground into a puree.

Everyone eagerly picked up a spoon and scooped it into their mouths, and the curry on the plate was swept away in an instant.

After tasting a bite, everyone looked a little stunned, the curry is like summer ice cream, in this hot summer, it brings them a cool taste, the curry is not spicy, but it is sweet, but sweet but not greasy, with the sweetness of fruits, and the green fragrance of fried nuts, it tastes like eating an ice cream mixed with crushed nuts and dried fruits.

After a very brief silence at tea time, everyone barely managed to squeeze out a smile for such an unusual curry, and they didn't know how to make an evaluation, so they had to give a thumbs up and spit out a complimentary English word from their mouths.

Gillis grimaced and didn't speak, just picked at the ash of his fingertip cigarette.

"It's not spicy, it's a bit like ice cream. Just when everyone was a little embarrassed, Gu Lance suddenly said: "My girlfriend can't eat spicy or cold during her menstrual period, she likes to eat sweets very much, and occasionally eats ice cream secretly behind my back. ”

Gillis, who was originally expressionless, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a faint smile: "Then your girlfriend must be a very cute girl." ”

Seeing Gillis's rare smile, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all admired Gu Qi, and it was really admirable that he could turn this cooled atmosphere around at once.

Soon, everyone began to chat with laughter, and someone proposed to take a photo while the sky was still bright, and when Du Ku took a picture of Yuan Yunshu, Xiao Ke simply pulled the ancient lance aside and took a photo of the boss of the two teams together.

The sunset gradually sinks, dyeing the clouds of the large sky above the top of the mountain with red, orange, blue, purple, etc., and these colorful clouds are wantonly stacked into layers, looking like a thick and colorful canvas.

At this time, the photographer and his assistant began to prepare a series of preparations such as setting up the tripod, adjusting the wide angle of the lens and the camera shooting mode, and planned to record the sunset until sunrise tomorrow.

Yuan Yunshu's team was well-manned, and as the leader, she didn't need to do anything, just sat under the scaffold, talking to Gillis, and it seemed that the two of them should have known each other for a long time.

"Kutou, adjust the focal length of your side to 15mm, so that you can splice with the video here when editing in the later stage. Gu Lance adjusted the focal length, turned on the long exposure of the camera, closed the aperture by 1 stop, and checked the battery status of the camera before straightening up and looking at the grandeur of the sunset in the distance.

"Mr. Gu, according to the regulations, if you want to announce this meteor plan on your Weibo, you must mention the name of our company, this is the rule. Yuan Yunshu walked over and said very beautifully.

"Good. ”

He picked up his mobile phone casually and posted Weibo, according to the agreement some time ago, he wanted to @ Yuan Yunshu on Weibo, and then he stood with her like this, watching the sun sink little by little, and the light around him slowly dimmed.

At eight o'clock, the sky was completely dark, and the night sky of Xingchen Rob made everyone excited.

After adjusting the camera angle again, everyone was lying on the recliner, ready to enjoy the upcoming meteor shower.

The summer night was not very cold, Yuan Yunshu took off his blazer, put on a camel-colored sweater, and lay down next to the ancient lance.

She suddenly said softly, "Your current girlfriend also loves ice cream?"

Gu Lance stared at the night sky casually: "Hmm. ”

In fact, he didn't know whether He Shenge liked ice cream or not, and he didn't know when her menstrual period was, he just ate the curry, and the cool feeling dispelled the stuffiness and anxiety in his heart.

Before eating the curry, he looked at Yuan Yunshu's beautiful and delicate face, remembering the time when they graduated and the two lived together, she also had a faint smile at that time, and begged him to buy ice cream for her in a smart voice like a clear spring.

But the moment he ate the curry, another quiet face flickered like a bolt of lightning, and his heartbeat stopped beating, and he felt a little weak.

He looked at the beautiful night sky and said calmly, "She is also a foodie, and if she eats delicious food, whether it is good or not, she will say it." ”

"That's a lovely foodie. Yuan Yunshu thought for a moment: "Then why don't you bring her with you?"

Gu Lance was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer this question.

At that time, he didn't think of bringing He Shenge here, but was very afraid that He Shenge would come with him.

At about half past nine, they adjusted the camera position and parameters again and began to shoot the Milky Way.

Gu Lance didn't move in the camera for a long time, and after admiring the Milky Way for a while, he turned his head and wanted to call Yuan Yunshu to come and see it, but found that she was asleep on the recliner.

Maybe she's tired from driving all morning.

The starlight fell on her sleeping face like water, and the quiet and well-behaved Yuan Yunshu was like a moving little rabbit who had lost her way.

Inexplicably, Gu Lance couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Pinching the time to be able to see the Milky Way with the naked eye, Gillis played soft and comfortable pure music in the bar, and the team members who were not in charge of guarding the camera began to drink cocktails.

10:08 a.m.

A white light streaked across the dark night sky, followed by two, and then countless white lights, as if it were a downpour in the middle of the night, but no raindrops fell on the face.

"Yun Shu, hurry up. Gu Lance reached out and pinched Yuan Yunshu's cheek as before.

She opened her eyes in pain.

Countless silver lights appeared in front of him in an instant, and the wind at this time did not have the heat of the day, but was slightly cool, and the whole person was like a lonely boat drifting in the Wang Wang Xinghe, fluttering lightly, without direction.

She slowly got up and looked up at the meteor shower in the night sky, Gu Lance looked at her, and under the light of the meteor, her eyes were shining with anticipation.

Gradually, his breathing rose and fell, and his eyes were like the silent night sea.

Between the half-light and half-darkness, it evokes the long-term memories in Gu Lance's mind.

He finally caught up with Yuan Yunshu, and heard that there was a rare meteor shower in Guangzhou, so he took her to Baiyun Mountain, at that time Yuan Yunshu had not yet graduated, and was still an innocent and ignorant little girl, even if he followed him to the mountain, the hands and feet bitten by mosquitoes were all bags, and in the end he didn't see the meteor shower, which may be a lie, but she didn't say a word of complaint to Gu Lance.

That night, although they didn't see a meteor shower, they had their first hug and first kiss under the starlight.

"Ah Qi, is this the first time you've watched a meteor shower?" Yuan Yunshu turned around, his eyes shining brightly.

Gu Lance's gaze froze on her face.

"I've watched it many times now, and it's all Gillis who took me to see it. ”

"Yun Shu. He unconsciously stretched out his hand and took Yuan Yunshu into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Yunshu hurriedly broke free from his arms and asked in a low and annoyed voice.

"Yun Shu, me. He realized that he had just been in a trance.

"Ah, we're done, you can let go of the past. ”

Gu Yan frowned, there seemed to be a crack in his chest, and he uncontrollably pulled Yuan Yunshu to a corner, pinched her hands, and wanted to kiss the pair of softness that had not been touched for a long time.

Smack.

Yuan Yunshu slapped him.

He felt a burning pain on the side of his cheek, and in an instant he turned into a fierce beast and roared at Yuan Yunshu: "Why do you want me to let go and let go? Why do you say just go? Don't you think about me? Can't you wait for me any longer?"

In the end, he was like a wounded beast, crying out for help.

This place is a little dark, Yuan Yunshu can't see Gu Qi's expression clearly, if she can see it, she will know how helpless and sad he is at this time.

But she relented and turned to leave: "I'm sorry, I need to touch up my makeup." ”

With that, she walked into the toilet next to her, which was as bright as day, and looked in the mirror, unscrewed her mouth red, her hands did not tremble, and she calmly colored her lips.

Gu Lance calmed down a little, didn't catch up, but lit a cigarette, didn't have the heart to watch the meteor shower, turned on the phone, Weibo came to prompt, He Shenge's latest Weibo @ him.

She took a bunch of delicacies, basically cakes, and a glass of cherry red drink, it should be wine, the photo was very dim, and he guessed that He Shenge should be in a quiet bar or something.

The content of Weibo is "Uncle, I ordered a lot of cakes for you, and there is a delicious cherry banquet!"

Looking at this Weibo, Gu Lance regretted what he had just done, and felt a trace of guilt for He Shenge in his heart.

After a while, he walked up to Gillis: "Gillis, can you teach me how to make that curry?"

"Coax your girlfriend?" asked Gillis with a smile.

"Well, I left her alone in China, so I went back and coaxed her with food. Gu Lance spat out the smoke ring, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The next day, Koki was left alone to learn how to make curry.

When Gillis tasted the curry made by the ancient lance, his blue eyes were as empty as ashes, he patted the ancient lance on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother, your curry is very successful, it will definitely touch her heart, but you must catch her, we will have a lot of temptations in this fancy world, I used to indulge in the sky, and the dream was in the sky, but the things in the sky are not real, Maria thinks I love the stars more, so she left." ”

"I'm sorry. ”

"It doesn't matter, I came to my senses later and wanted to settle down and live with her, but Mary, she went to heaven, and I had to indulge in heaven again, and when I looked at the stars in the sky, there would always be one of them. ”

That day, Gu Lance and Gillis drank for a day, he watched the stars in the bar for another night, and the next day when he went down the mountain, Yuan Yunshu's car was still in front of the post office, and she came to take Gu Lance back to New York City.

Tightened down, Gu Li's face was calm, but he did everything in a hurry, but he negotiated with Yuan Yunshu's company, and entrusted the total solar eclipse project to Yuan Yunshu's team with confidence, and he left a few people in the team to be responsible for the later contact.

Walking out of Yuan Yunshu's office, he overlooked the prosperous city and dialed the accountant in the team: "Book a ticket to return to China recently, leave the photography team, and the others will go." ”
