Chapter 42: Shooting Stars Passing By
Yan Yimo usually looks serious, and he can't react to such a romance in a cold way.
"Look, meteor shower?"
Su Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised and stuttered a little.
"Whoa." Yan Yimo handed the stack of materials clipped to the car door to Su Xiaoxiao, and pointed to the back seat, "I heard that there will be a Leonid Minorid meteor shower that occurs once in thirty-three years tonight, and everything is ready." ”
Su Xiaoxiao leaned on the seat and looked at the back seat of the car. On the seats were two thick woolen blankets folded neatly, simple household items, and some food and water. A small dark green corner leaked out of the trunk of the car.
"Still need a toothbrush? Mr. Yi, what do you have in the trunk? How to have a little horn. ”
Su Xiaoxiao hooked her body to look, a little far away, and didn't see what it was.
"Oh that." Yan Yimo hooked the corners of his lips, "Camping tent." ”
This answer explained all of Su Xiaoxiao's doubts.
"Huh?" Su Xiaoxiao cried out in a lost voice, "My mom, this surprise is too big, how do you know that I want to camp!" ”
Yan Yimo smiled but did not speak.
Su Xiaoxiao giggled vigorously.
Something came to mind, "Then should we tell Mother Yan first, don't wait a while, she thinks that the two of us were eaten by bears, and let the police come to us." ”
"What do you little devil think about every day?"
Yan Yimo snorted, and Su Xiaoxiao quickly sent a message to Yan's mother.
Soon Yan's mother replied. They were told to pay attention to safety.
It was about a two-hour drive from Toronto to Torrance Barrens, and Su Xiaoxiao was in a very good mood. It was mainly Su Xiaoxiao who was talking.
The black wrangler slowly drove into a meadow, surrounded by several bushes, with a wide view.
Because it is a stargazing spot, it has not been too modified by the day after tomorrow, and there are some small pebbles on the ground.
After a few bumps, there it is.
Yan Yimo parked the car on the side of the road, Su Xiaoxiao loosened his seat belt, couldn't wait to pull the car door, and jumped out of the car with a bang.
Several families came to the neighborhood. Everyone brought their tents, sat in the tents, drank hot beers, looked at the sky expectantly, and waited for the moment when the meteor shower fell.
Su Xiaoxiao followed Yan Yimo to set up the tent first, then went to the nearby rest area to pick up some hot water, and got into the tent with a blanket. The tent with Yan Yi Mo has a lot of space and can put a family down. The inner wall of the tent is covered with an insulating coating, and it doesn't feel like it's February winter at all.
Su Xiaoxiao held the black tea, gently blew the foam on the surface, and drank it in small sips.
Bitter, sweet.
There was only a faint street lamp outside the camp, and it was not clear that Yan Yimo's expression was on his face now, so Su Xiaoxiao looked at the outline of Yan Yimo's face.
"Mr. Yi, have you ever come to see a meteor before?"
Yan Yimo shook his head.
When you think about it, this is really the first time he has seen a meteor in 22 years, and he made a decision in one day.
Yesterday, when I was doing the final handover with Henry, I heard him say that North America can see the Ursid meteor shower once in decades tonight, and he wants to take his daughter to see it. Yan Yimo silently wrote it down.
I checked with Linda about Friday's work and asked her to help get the ticket back in advance, in order to take Su Xiaoxiao to see the shooting star.
Wait until 12 o'clock, and listen to a few experienced astronomy enthusiasts around me say that the observation of the Leonid meteor shower is unstable, and the weather will not be until the second half of the night.
Su Xiaoxiao yawned, and her eyelids were fighting.
After a day of class, I watched Zeng Yunlong's musical, and now I come to Torrance Barrens with Yan Yimo to watch the meteors, and Su Xiaoxiao has a full schedule for a day.
Yan Yimo smiled lightly and helped her pull the blanket up, "You go to sleep first, I'll call you later." ”
Su Xiaoxiao hummed unconsciously, pillowed Yan Yimo's legs, and fell asleep in less than a minute.
Yan Yimo looked at her sleeping side face, and gently stroked her face with his fingertips with pity. The fingertips slowly slide down from the eyebrows to the eyes to the bridge of the nose to the tip of the nose and finally land between the lips.
He leaned down slightly, brushed away the shredded hair from her face, and kissed her forehead.
Su Xiaoxiao slept in a daze, and felt a warm cloud floating on his head in his dream, and when he opened his eyes half-asleep, he saw Yan Yimo's enlarged facial features and the high bridge of his nose.
Yan Yimo first chuckled in his heart, but didn't let go, just looked at her quietly.
"Brother?" Su Xiaoxiao had just woken up, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Huh?"
"Is it a meteor shower?"
Yan Yimo looked out of the tent, and everyone really took out their tripod cameras and gathered together in twos and threes.
"Well, it seems to be."
At the moment when the two of them walked out of the tent with blankets, several sporadic meteors flashed white light across the sky, and Su Xiaoxiao disappeared into the night before he could make a wish.
As soon as he sighed lightly, a whole meteor shower fell from the sky, illuminating the original dark blue sky.
At first, it was just a very bright thin line, but the moment Su Xiaoxiao opened his eyes and made a wish, the thin line just now was scattered like a galaxy.
Yan Yimo gently hugged Su Xiaoxiao's shoulders and whispered softly in her ear.
"Happy Valentine's Day."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were shining with stars, and he turned his head to meet Yan Yimo's dark black pupils, revealing the two small dimples at the corners of his mouth.
"The next time the Leonid Minor meteor shower comes, I'll watch it with you."
"Okay."
Meteors flashed in the sky, and in an instant they became eternal.
Su Xiaoxiao snuggled tightly in Yan Yimo's arms.
