Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Night of the Falling Stars
Everything in the Imperial Spirit Courtyard seemed to be settled, but Lan Ruo always had an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the training ground of the Imperial Spirit Academy, Lan Ruo and Red Moon were running side by side at a galloping speed, each not giving in, before Lan Ruo and Asura went out to practice, Red Moon ran with Lan Ruo every day to train his basic physical strength, and both of them were accustomed to such a race.
In the past, most of the results were that Hongyue stood with a smile and Lan Ruo lay on the ground, but this time......
Hongyue lay on the ground panting, her chest rising and falling violently: "Master...... Brother, you and ...... Lord Asura went out and came back, and his physical strength was really ...... It's too much improvement, no, I admit defeat. ”
Lan Ruo was also uncomfortable, barely standing with his hands on his knees, his forehead covered with sweat.
Hongyue closed her eyes and stretched out her hands and said, "I can't stand up, come, give me a princess hug." ”
Lan Ruo was stunned, completely entering the wooden man mode, his hand was slightly raised and lowered, his expression was a little melancholy, and he said helplessly: "Senior sister, don't keep joking with me." ”
Hongyue pouted and said, "It's not okay to be joking, the people I usually see are too serious and boring." ”
Lan Ruo smiled and said, "Isn't it because you are too serious about others?" ”
Hongyue thought for a while and said, "Well, you're right, my parents died, and my younger brother also died in an accident, so you and your master are like my relatives, and I am not very restrained in front of you." ”
Brother...... Lan Ruo silently recited these two words in his heart, and suddenly a sense of powerlessness spread throughout his body, and tears seemed to be about to flow out, he looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and finally calmed down.
Hongyue, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up and said, "Go, accompany me to see the stars." ”
"Huh?" Lan Ruo had an expression of "what the hell is looking at the stars".
"Don't you know, the dean of our Alchemy Academy is also a great stargazer and astrologer, he said that there will be a big meteor shower tonight that occurs once in decades, and I have never seen a meteor shower, so I want to find someone to accompany me to take a look." I don't know when the eyes of the red moon have turned into star eyes, sparkling.
Lan Ruo had never seen Hongyue with such an expression, and was stunned for a moment and asked, "You are the vice president of the student union, so popular, wouldn't it be nice to find someone to see it?" ”
"It's not the same thing to have a student union position and someone to watch the stars with, you also know that I am very serious about people, and I don't have any friends, so I can only find you as a junior brother for this kind of thing." Red Moon smiled, and her smile seemed to be a little bitter.
Lan Ruo felt a pain in his heart for some reason when he heard this, and he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll accompany you to see it." ”
Hongyue smiled slightly: "The stargazing location is a bit far away." ”
"Huh?" Lan Ruo had a sense of foreboding.
It was already dark, and the two were running on the dark mountainside path, Lan Ruo couldn't help but complain: "Why do you have to run to the back mountain of the wild area to see a star?" ”
"The back mountain is the best place to see the stars, the field of vision is broad, I used to go to the back mountain alone to walk, but I feel more at ease with my junior brother." Red Moon laughed happily.
With the foot strength of the two now, they actually climbed to the top of the moon peak at midnight, and the battle of the moon peak is still vivid, looking at the top of the mountain, the buildings of the college seem very small, and the Shenyue Lake in the wild area is as quiet and beautiful as a midnight blue jewel,
The pale cyan moon in the darkness quietly rose to the middle of the sky, and on the Ymir continent, after the great cold wave thousands of years ago, the moon changed from yellow-white to pale cyan, and the calendar since then has changed to a frost moon calendar.
The blue and silver moonlight sprinkled on the sparkling surface of the lake added to the tranquility. The two sat on the cliff with their legs crossed, just quietly watching the scenery below. Hongyue put her chin on her knees and looked at ease, Lan Ruo felt a little embarrassed by this silence, there was still some time before the time of the predicted meteor shower, and the atmosphere was really a little weird without saying a word.
Lan Ruo held back for a long time, and then said: "This season, on the mountain...... Won't there be snakes? ”
Hongyue took out a sachet and said, "There is snake repellent grass in here, and with this snake it won't come near us." ”
"Oh, that's ......"
Then the two fell into a long silence, Lan Ruo almost wanted to cover his face, he felt that it was too embarrassing for him to try his best to talk about the topic, in fact, it seemed that Lan Ruo was the only one who felt embarrassed, and Hongyue was just quietly enjoying the feeling of the wind blowing on his face with the night moisture and the beautiful scenery in front of him.
After a while, Lan Ruo heard the sound of insects, and his heart gradually calmed down, no one stipulated that if he sat with someone he liked, he had to find something to talk about, so he sat like this...... It's good, as long as you can sit next to her, shouldn't you be satisfied?
The moon gradually fell, the sky began to darken, the stars became clear, the distant stars flickered slightly, like a handful of shining pearls scattered in a black disk, and the faint starlight soaked the black sky.
"Here we go!" Red Moon's voice was so excited that it even trembled a little.
Lan Ruo looked up at the sky when he heard the sound, and the meteor shower began to fall, at first one or two stars crossed the sky, wearing red or white light tails, fluttering or trembling slightly, emitting light and heat. After a while, the shower began to dense, and more than a dozen stars pierced into the Milky Way or slipped into the darkness, and the glorious and shining sky was filled with divine silence.
"Make a wish, when you see a shooting star, you can make a wish, and it is said that it will come true." Hongyue looked at Meteor and said with her hands folded.
I...... What do you want? Lan Ruo looked at the red moon, then closed his eyes, clasped his hands, and silently made a wish - I hope that this kind of life can go on like this forever......
"I made a wish, junior brother, what wish did you make?" Hongyue tilted her head and looked at Lan Ruo, looking very cute.
Lan Ruo hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, but Hongyue raised her jade onion-like index finger and pressed it to her lips: "Shhh ”
After saying that, she blinked her eyes and smiled smartly.
Lan Ruo and Hongyue looked at each other, lost their minds for a moment, lowered their eyes, her smile fell and was generous, as dazzling as the sun, which Lan Ruo couldn't look at directly.
Lan Ruo felt for some reason that the red moon was like a bright cold star in the sky, unreachable, unimaginably far away, those stars were all suns, too close, they would be burned out...... Obviously, the person he likes is close in front of him, but Lan Ruo always feels very tired.
At this time, a strong point of light appeared at the end of the sky, bursting out with blazing and dazzling light, and a star drew a long band of fire mist in the sky, like a beautiful long feather, which was the remnants of the fire meteor, and passed away leisurely towards the vast southern sky.
Lan Ruo and Hongyue were stunned, and after a while, they came back to their senses.
"Senior brother, go back, it's already midnight." Red Moon said.
Lan Ruo actually felt a little reluctant at this time, he really wanted to stay here all the time, but he still replied, "Well, let's go back." ”
"By the way, you didn't ask the housekeeper for leave, did you?" Hongyue suddenly asked with a smile.
"Ahh I forgot ......"
"That's really bad, I'm the vice president of the student council because I have a lot of things to do, so I have a full-day absence and free accommodation permit, but it's a tragedy if you are found out......"
Lan Ruo thought that he would be interrogated by the housekeeper last night and had a headache if he didn't go to bed last night, and replied that he accompanied his senior sister to the back mountain to see the stars? This reason is so funny, doesn't it sound like an excuse that Momo often hangs on his lips......
Lan Ruo let out a long sigh.
