Chapter 8: Saint Laurent's Tears (3)
Xia Youran didn't know how to use a telescope to find the observed celestial objects at all, so he simply lay on the recliner and leisurely looked at the starry sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hey, it's been a long time since I've been so happy, why hasn't the meteor shower started yet?" Xia leisurely kicked his feet a few times, and his body was in a state of complete relaxation. The mouth was not idle, and she kept eating the oversized bag of potato chips, because the three of them didn't like junk food very much, so she had to sacrifice and eat all the potato chips.
"After twelve o'clock, the meteors will appear one by one, and by one or two o'clock in the morning is the peak, and it is already eleven thirty o'clock, so there should be meteors soon." Bai Ze installed a CCD camera on the telescope, so that he didn't have to lie on the eyepiece to observe, besides, the Perseid meteor shower can be seen with the naked eye, and the telescope is very limited, but it is also a good way to install a camera to record clips of the meteor shower during this period.
"Oh, by the way, didn't we bring something else to eat......" Xia Youran seemed to remember something, and a carp sat up.
"Pudding, I know where to put it." Xiao, who usually slept a long time ago, is like being beaten with chicken blood today, and has been in the stage of excitement. Since the accident, Xiao has been stuck at home, and it took him more than a year before he was willing to go out. After that, Bai Ze and Lin Chenhao were busy with their graduation theses again, and they almost devoted themselves to it, after all, if they want to graduate and come back early, they will have to pay a price. It was probably the first time in four years that four people were lying down and looking at the stars together.
Seeing Xiao go down from the lookout platform alone with a flashlight, Lin Chenhao hurriedly followed, "It's so dark, it's too dangerous to be alone, I'll be fine too." As he spoke, he also gestured to Bai Ze, and although the moonlight was a little dark, Bai Ze still understood what he meant.
After ten minutes, the two of them hadn't come up yet, and Xia Youran began to sit still a little.
"Ah, what's going on, why haven't you come up yet?"
"Maybe I stopped by to go to the bathroom." Bai Ze finally adjusted the screen in his hand and sat down beside Xia Youran.
"Did you think you had something on your mind lately?" Xia leisurely put his hand on Bai Ze's shoulder and observed his expression up close.
"No, it's nothing......" Xia Youran could always easily detect his strangeness, but why couldn't he feel his liking for her? If it weren't for the fact that the moon was dark, Bai Ze would definitely flee from Xia Youran's side, because his face was already flushed. When he learned that he liked Xia Youran, even if it was the usual action before, being too intimate would make his heart beat a lot, which was something he had never done before.
"Something at work? Or do colleagues not get along well...... Jealous that you are handsome and talented, or a returnee doctor? After graduating, Xia Youran did not enter a decent studio like her classmates, and stayed at home all the time, and she never experienced the intrigue between colleagues...... Still, she'd heard about that. After all, there are often such plots in idol dramas at eight o'clock.
"No, I've only been on the job for about a week...... Where did you come from so many things......" Bai Ze replied absentmindedly. Buying a ring before, fortunately, he didn't let Xia Youran know, he also knew that he was too abrupt, directly crossing the link of love and getting married directly, a normal woman would refuse, let alone Xia Youran. (Although this woman has a tendon in her brain, it's not normal at all, but that guy is influenced by comics, and no matter how old he is, he will have girlish feelings.) ļ¼
"Tell me something, if there is, I will beat him hard." Xia leisurely clenched his fist and waved it in front of him. Her motor nerves are relatively developed, and her sports performance has always been excellent throughout her student years. It's just that compared to the ability to fight, the speed of escape may be faster, and Bai Ze is not the kind of weak scholar who can't help but be weak, although he is not as good as Lin Chenhao, but he has also practiced self-defense since he was a child, in order to avoid being kidnapped.
"Is it okay to be tall and big?" Seeing Xia Youran like this, he suddenly wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh all the time.
"In that case, you can only take out the '**'." Xia thought leisurely for a moment, her head was full of two-dimensional things, which were actually useless.
"Haha...... Fortunately, you didn't get the so-called '**', if that thing fell into your hands, the world would be destroyed. Bai Ze was suddenly poked at the point of laughter, and patted Xia Youran's head with his hand.
"Not really...... At least the four of us will be alive so that I am the queen. Xia Youran laughed along, he saw Bai Ze's changes in his eyes, the first time he saw him, it was like frost, as if the whole world was frozen, basically without any expression, rarely smiled, but when chatting with Lin Chenhao, he occasionally showed that gentle expression. If there was no Xiao between them, maybe they wouldn't be as close as they are now.
"That, Xia leisurely ......" After thinking about it for a long time, I finally wanted to say it at this time.
"Ah, Bai Ze, it's a meteor...... "Xia Youran grabbed Bai Ze's arm tightly with his hand as if he had discovered a new continent, shaking it constantly.
"Xia leisurely ......"
"Oh, no, you have to hurry up and get them up to see it!" Xia Youran stood up suddenly, a little helpless with excitement, she leaned on the railing at a very fast speed and shouted below, "Xiao, hurry up, there is a meteor!" ā
"yes, I know, I'm here!" Xiao grabbed Lin Chenhao's arm and ran out, he probably understood Lin Chenhao's intention just now to pull himself to look at the toys he hid in this secret base when he was a child, he wanted to give Xia Youran and Bai Ze time to be alone, but Xiao He didn't want to be bored in this room all the time, he really wanted to see the meteor shower.
More than ten minutes after dawn came up, there was still no movement in the sky. Xiao was a little disappointed and handed the brownie he bought in the evening to Bai Ze, "Here, Brother Ze, your favorite brownie, Xia Youran went to buy it specially." ā
"Actually, it's by the way. Because I was stuck in traffic all the time, I happened to pass by the best-selling dessert shop again. Xia Youran replied while eating the pudding, and his eyes never left the sky for a moment.
"What a woman without vision!" Lin Chenhao sighed silently in his heart.
"Brother Ze, Xia Youran said that you know a lot about constellations, can you tell us something about the Perseid meteor shower tonight?"
"The cause of the Perseid meteor shower is related to the comet, when the comet approaches the sun, the comet will be sublimated by the sun's heat to sublimate the surface material, which is the meteoroid in the future. During the comet's orbit around the sun, some meteoroids will separate from the comet and remain in the comet's orbit, and the meteoroids will continue to spread and separate from each other due to the sun's light pressure and planetary forces, and the range will gradually increase. When the Earth's orbit intersects with the comet's orbit, the meteoroid will break into the Earth's atmosphere and burn under the influence of the Earth's gravity. The parent object of the Perseid meteor shower is Swift, which has a period of 133 years. Comet Tuttle, which was inaugurated in 1862 by Louis Brown. Swift and Tuttle discovered it after the Italian astronomer Giovanni. Shjaparelli suggested that it could be the parent object of the Perseid meteor shower, which was the first time that a comet was thought to be the parent object of a meteor shower...... Because the Perseid meteor shower is so close to the festival of the Holy Spirit of Laurent in the West, it is also known as the 'Tears of Saint Laurent.' It is said that it was the tears shed by the Holy Spirit of Laurent for hope, hoping that everyone who saw it would reap the rewards of their wishes. For Perseus, Bai Ze could talk a lot, but when he turned his head, he found that Xiao was already yawning and was not listening at all.
"Xiao, what I just said, are you listening?"
"Yes, yes......" Xiao replied embarrassedly. (He was apparently not listening.) ļ¼
"And what did I say?"
"Comet, mother celestial body, Saint Laurent's tears......" Xiao thought for a long time before reluctantly answering.
"Aze, aren't you talking about this too profound?" Lin Chenhao lay down, he didn't want to hear all that knowledge about the stars, let alone an eight-year-old child.
"Yes, even I can't understand it, let alone Xiao." Xia Youran rarely united with Lin Chenhao.
"Don't you think that's funny?" Bai Ze asked seriously, maybe only a guy like him would find it interesting.
"No, it won't." The two replied in unison, which made Bai Ze a little sad, he thought that everyone would be very interested, and he also wanted to introduce it in detail before the meteor shower came, but it seemed that he had no chance at all.
"Xiao, do you have any wishes before the meteor arrives?" Xia Youran quickly changed the topic.
"Make a wish with a shooting star?" Xiao asked a little skeptically.
"Yes, it's a meteor shower later, as long as you say your wish three times before the meteor shower ends, then that wish will definitely come true." There are often such plots in comic plots, Xia Youran has always wanted to say such things to a certain person, but Lin Chenhao and Bai Ze are completely scientistic, and they never believe in this kind of superstitious thing, so the object she can tell can only be Xiao.
"Oh, I know, I have to say it three times, will this wish really come true?" Xiao seemed to have had a wish for a long time, and he carefully inquired about the details. Children are always so simple, and they still have an attitude of believing in the impossible. (What if the wish does come true, but you don't lose anything by just making a wish.) ļ¼
Not knowing when the meteor would cross the sky, all three of them lay down on their chaise longues and covered them with small blankets. The moon seems to be hiding behind clouds, but this is more conducive to meteor shower observation. Since there were only three chairs, Xiao could only sleep on Lin Chenhao's right side, held in his arms. During this period, Xiao turned sideways from time to time to see if Lin Chenhao was asleep, if he squinted, he would definitely pinch his face hard, he was afraid that he would miss the meteor shower if he fell asleep.
At 12 o'clock, another meteor crossed the sky in the sky, and everyone let out a burst of exclamations, Xia Youran immediately picked up the camera, but did not capture it. She held the camera in her hand, facing northeast, and kept that position, waiting for the meteor shower to come so that she could take a good picture.
Five minutes later, another meteor crossed by, Xiao Shi interlocked his fingers, closed his eyes, and said something in his mouth, but no one noticed at this time, because everyone's attention was all in the sky.
At 1:40 o'clock, ushered in the most spectacular scene of the night, everyone stood up in surprise, Xia leisurely took a few steps back, and took a group photo of a few people and the meteor shower, although only a vague back could be taken, but the dazzling blue fire meteor was unusually clear.
After 2:30, no more meteors could be observed, Xiao seemed to have reached the limit, and fell asleep quietly in Lin Chenhao's arms. Since it happened to be facing northeast at this time, and the sunrise could be seen in more than two hours, everyone did not rush to pack their bags and go back.
After the meteor shower ended, Xia Youran put on an eye patch and said to Bai Ze next to him and Lin Chenhao on the other side of Bai Ze, "Good night, no, it's time to say good morning." ā
Because she was too excited just now, she lay down all of a sudden, but she couldn't sleep a little, however, she didn't pull down the blindfold, she only heard the even breathing sound around her, inhaling, exhaling, floating very regularly. The early morning in the countryside seems a little cold and a little damp, and you can still hear the chirping of insects in the distance...... Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and eventually she lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she pulled off her blindfold and found that her surroundings seemed to have become darker, probably the darkest before dawn. She reached over and shook Bai Ze, who responded to her in a daze.
"Hurry up, didn't you say you want to see the sunrise......
"Oh......" After Bai Ze woke up, he sat up, and by the way, he woke up the two people on the other side, Xiao quickly climbed down from the recliner, but Lin Chenhao kept frozen there and couldn't move.
"Xiao, pull me, I can't seem to move." He beckoned to Xiao with a pained expression on his face.
"Ah Hao looks like an old man!" Xiao smiled and pulled him out, but Lin Chenhao's height of 1.85 meters also weighed almost 70 kilograms, and his little strength had no effect at all.
"Still no! Aze, come and help me, my whole body seems to be numb......"
"It's really hard!" Bai Ze covered his mouth and chuckled, and then pulled him up without any difficulty. He originally planned to let Xiao sleep with him, but he didn't expect Xiao to stick to Lin Chenhao's side all the time, otherwise he would be the one who couldn't move today.
From five o'clock, the bright and dim sky gradually began to become brighter, and the eastern horizon gradually became red, and then, that large area seemed to be soaked in a red dye vat, and became red, and this year's New Year's Eve was like now, waiting for the sunrise on the roof, but at that time, due to the cold weather, everyone was shivering from the cold, and kept jumping on the roof to keep warm.
The sun slowly climbed up from the other side of the mountain, and without paying attention, it climbed high.
"You've got a good picture!" Xia leisurely held the camera and smiled happily.
"I'll take a look......" Xiao leaned over to see what she called a good photo, but Xia leisurely raised the camera above her head mysteriously.
"Xia leisurely, show me......" Xiao almost hung on her arm.
"Shouldn't it be another photo of the flowers, just your technical ......" With Lin Chenhao's height, it was really easy to snatch the camera from Xia Youran's hand. Once he had the camera, he expertly turned it on and flipped through the photos one by one. However, after searching for a long time, he did not find the so-called 'good photos'.
"Where are all your good photos?" He lost interest after a few clicks, and handed the camera to Xiao, who had been standing beside him, stepping on his feet to look at the photo.
"It's all good...... This one is, that one is also ......" Xia leisurely squatted down and checked his photo, it was really good, but Lin Chenhao's requirements were too high.
"Let's go home!" While they were fighting, Bai Ze silently packed up all his things by his side like a parent, and raised his head to look at them. For him, even so, he is already the happiest. He doesn't expect his unreliable mother or father to do anything about him, nor does he expect how rich he lives, as long as he can stay with his most important person like this, everything becomes indifferent.
"Ah Hao, what wish did you make before?" On the way back, Xiao took Lin Chenhao's hand and jumped on the steps.
"World Peace!" It came out of his mouth almost without thinking.
"I don't believe it!" Xia Youran quickly refuted, if she didn't make a wish, she would prefer to believe it.
"I don't believe it either!" Bai Ze, who has never been in tune, even said in a rare way today.
"Where's Xiao?"
"If you say your wish, it won't work!" Xiao replied with wide eyes.
"Haha......" The laughter of those people echoed in the mountains, and it didn't disperse for a long time, Xiao's real wish was to hope that the four of them could be together forever. He said that wish more than three times, and kept telling it in his heart when there was a meteor. He has no other family to rely on, so no matter who it is, he doesn't want to lose, he wants to think that time can stay in this moment forever, so that everyone can be together forever.
However, I don't think that wish will come true......
