"Third child, accompany me to see the meteor shower!"

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Xiao stood in the center of the dormitory, dancing and saying.

"Who accompanied me to see a meteor shower, I grew so big, I haven't seen a meteor shower yet."

"No time, no time." Qiu Cheng, the third elder in the dormitory, had a pair of small eyes, staring at the computer screen tightly, and his hands were moving quickly on the mouse and keyboard, controlling the heroes in the game.

After getting Qiu Cheng's reply, Chen Xiao turned his head to the side again and looked at Jiang Xianxiang, the fourth child who was making porridge on the phone, but the other party just put a finger to his lips and sighed, and then gently said to his girlfriend on the other side of the phone.

"Xuxu, what about you?" Chen Xiao looked helplessly at the other side and asked Liu Xu, the second child who was wearing thick glasses and was studying hard.

"Ahem, boss, you go alone, I still have to read." Liu Xu glanced up at Chen Xiao, helped his glasses, and then smiled embarrassedly.

"Eh, a bunch of people with no conscience."

Chen Xiao pursed her lips, looked helpless, and walked out of the bedroom alone.

Chen Xiao is a first-year student at Jinghua University of Science and Technology, not tall, about 1.75 meters, with an ordinary appearance, which belongs to the kind that cannot be found in the pile.

Chen Xiao's family background is relatively special, since his parents died when he was a child, he was raised by his grandfather. And Chen Xiao's wish is to find a good job after graduating from university. As for going to graduate school and continuing to study, he never thought about it. On Saturdays and Sundays, as well as holidays, Chen Xiao will go out to work part-time by herself to earn living expenses and tuition fees.

As for meteor showers, Chen Xiao is also extremely curious, since he was a child, he has heard a lot of legends about meteor showers, but he has never seen them once.

This time, I happened to hear on the school radio news that there would be a meteor shower tonight, so Chen Xiao, who has always been curious, also planned to see it.

"The news says that the meteor shower started around 11:30 tonight, and it's now 10:30, and there's still an hour left." Chen Xiao walked alone on the campus of HKUST, "Those who have no conscience, can they bear to let their boss wander the streets alone?" ”

Although it is now 10 o'clock in the evening, the campus of HKUST is still brightly lit at night. Chen Xiao looked up and saw that he could barely see a few stars in the clear night sky.

"No wonder no one wants to come out." Chen Xiao shook his head, although the campus of Jinghua University of Science and Technology is not in the center of Jinghua, it is also surrounded by a bustling population and high-rise buildings. The night sky is already lit up by bright lights, and even on a sunny day, there are not a few stars in sight.

"It seems that at school, even if you go to the playground, you can't see anything. I haven't seen a meteor shower like when I'm so big, do I have to give up like this? ”

Chen Xiao thought about it, but she was unwilling to give up like this.

"Let's go to the Chaobai River, there is still about an hour, it's too late." Chen Xiao thought about it and made up his mind.

More than ten miles east of Jinghua University of Science and Technology, there is a big river that has long dried up, called Chaobai River, and Chen Xiao has not gone to that place. When I first entered school last year, I had a picnic with my classmates.

Chen Xiao no longer hesitated, he grew up in the countryside, and walking at night was a common thing for him.

Chen Xiao returned to the dormitory, borrowed a bicycle like Liu Xu, the second child in the same bed, and headed towards the Chaobai River.

After leaving the school, the lights around me gradually dimmed, and the number of pedestrians who wandered at night gradually decreased. Half an hour later, Chen Xiao rode a bicycle to the suburbs, on the edge of the Chaobai River.

The riverbed of the Chaobai River is 100 meters wide, and the dry riverbed has become a huge open space, in which there are occasionally a few small waterholes, and it has also become a place for fishing and entertainment for the surrounding people.

At this time, it was eleven o'clock in the evening, the spring breeze in April was blowing on Chen Xiao's face, slightly cool, and the surrounding high and low trees, weeds that had not yet become a climate, the atmosphere seemed a little gloomy.

But this is nothing to Chen Xiao, he grew up in the countryside, and he went to his own mountain fields to guard the mountains at night, or went up the mountain in the middle of the night to trap and catch hares and pheasants, he did a lot of things.

"It's still better than the air here!" Chen Xiao took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, without the influence of lights, the starry sky, which was still a little dim just now, is much brighter now.

"At 11:30 p.m., there will be a massive meteor shower in the north...... It is expected to be 300 ...... per hour" Chen Xiao muttered to herself, then found a relatively spacious open space, sat on the ground, and then stared blankly at the northern sky.

There are no other buildings around the Chaobai River except for some trees, the perspective here is very good, and the Chaobai River is in a north-south direction, as long as Chen Xiao faces the north, the sky in the north will enter his sight.

After about ten minutes, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

In the northwest sky, a meteor that was not very bright streaked across the sky and disappeared in a flash.

Meteor! A small number of meteors appear as a precursor to meteor showers!

Chen Xiao couldn't help but get excited.

Thundered......

At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly appeared above the sky, and in just a few seconds, dark clouds filled the entire sky.

After a burst of lightning and thunder, raindrops the size of a coin fell from the sky in an instant.

"Why is it raining?" Chen Xiao was dumbfounded all of a sudden, the weather forecast clearly said that it was sunny in the past few days, and there was no trend of rainfall, why is it raining now?

But Chen Xiao didn't have time to think about it, he jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, pushed the bicycle on the side and headed towards the river bank.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the ferocious rain is smashing on Chen Xiao's body, and there is a feeling of pain when it hits Chen Xiao's body, and the visibility around it is also greatly reduced at this time, it was originally night, coupled with such a heavy rain, Chen Xiao can almost only see the distance half a meter in front of him.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Chen Xiao's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously turned his head to the north and looked above the sky.

A little blue light the size of a bean broke through the blockade of night and rain and directly entered Chen Xiao's eyes.

"What's that? Meteor? Blue shooting stars? For a moment, Chen Xiao's head was a little foggy, and the visibility around him was obviously not high, but this blue point of light was clearly reflected in Chen Xiao's eyes.

I don't know why, at this time, he forgot to keep running, but was dumbfounded, his eyes staring at that little bit of blue light, as if his whole spirit had been sucked into it.

Brush......

In less than two seconds, that bit of blue light pierced the night sky and rain and came to Chen Xiao's face, and the next moment, it rushed directly into his body.

"It's so pretty......"

Chen Xiao only had time to let out a sigh of emotion, and his head was dizzy, and he didn't know anything.

……

Chen Xiao felt that she had a long, long dream, and in the dream, it seemed to be a world of water, and there was a blue patch everywhere. A very comfortable feeling rose from Chen Xiao's heart, as if she had returned to her mother's arms.

A gentle voice kept babbling something in his ear, as if it was exhorting, as if it was teaching.

……

The sun rises in the east, and the warm sunlight shines all over the land.

"Ahh

Chen Xiao subconsciously exclaimed, and jumped up from the ground with a bang.

"What's going on, what's going on just now? Well? Is it dawn? Chen Xiao looked around a little dumbfounded.

At this time, he was already standing on the bank of the Chaobai River, and the originally dead river in front of him seemed to have regained its vitality after a night of heavy rain, and the hundred-meter-wide river channel was already full of rain.

"Last night, was it just a dream?" Chen Xiao shook his head fiercely, "No! ”

Chen Xiao tried hard to recall what happened last night, and when the blue light flashed, he didn't know anything. At this time, he was standing in the open air, and strangely...... His body was extremely dry, without a trace of water!

Almost numb, Chen Xiao rode Liu Xu's bicycle back to school.

It was already half past eight in the morning, and the dormitory was empty, and everyone had already gone to class. Chen Xiao returned to his bed and lay still, trying to think about what happened last night.

As soon as the blue light flashed, he didn't know anything, apparently fainted, and spent the night in the rain. However, although Chen Xiao didn't know when the rain stopped, he wouldn't believe that the rain on his body would dry up so quickly.

Moreover, the clothes on his body, without a single wrinkle, were as if nothing had happened, and it was completely impossible to tell that he had been soaked in water before. Chen Xiao was already sure that he had spent the night by the Chaobai River.

Weird, weird!

"Could it be that it has something to do with that blue light?" Suddenly, Chen Xiao's mind flashed, and his heart moved.

"What the hell is that blue light?" At this time, Chen Xiao was refreshed and indescribably good, and everything that happened last night was deeply imprinted in his heart, as if it had just happened.

Especially that bit of blue light, which was deeply engraved in his heart.

"Forget it, don't think about it."

Chen Xiao thought about it, but he really couldn't think of what was going on, he was a person who was at ease with what happened, and if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't want to.

"Oh no, this morning's line surname algebra ......" Chen Xiao suddenly patted his head, hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and found that there were already more than a dozen missed calls and text messages in the mobile phone. And the most recent one was sent by Qiu Cheng, the third elder in the dormitory.

"Boss, roll call, come on!"

Chen Xiao was helpless again.

"Wash and sleep." He jumped out of bed and went straight to the bathroom in his bedroom. Although there was nothing wrong with the body, it was also raining overnight.

Chen Xiao took off his clothes three times and twice, and stood under the water spray head naked.

"Huh? Where did this come from? Chen Xiao lowered his head and saw that there was a light blue mark on his chest, as if a diamond-shaped crystal was engraved on the skin, which was quite three-dimensional.
