Chapter Forty-Eight: Huh? What to wish for
It is said that when you see a meteor streaked across the sky, close your eyes and put your hands together, and then make a wish, then that wish may come true in the future.
Not long ago, Yinglong heard that a meteor shower was coming.
I saw on the Internet that there would be a meteor shower a few days later, Yinglong told Yuxin, and Yuxin asked Yinglong to take her to see it.
So Yinglong made an appointment to go to the nearby mountain top to watch the meteor shower.
On that day, Yinglong asked Yuxin to go to a nearby mountain in the evening.
He rode a motorcycle to pick her up.
It's a red Suzuki, and the British Dragon spent a lot of money on it.
Yinglong handed a red helmet to Yu Xin and asked her to put it on, and he put on a black one himself, and ran towards the suburbs with a puff of smoke.
Still some distance from the nearby hills, motorcycles drive through dark streets with their headlights flashing. Snowy lights illuminated the road ahead, piercing the darkness.
Passing through the city, the road becomes sparsely populated, with only a few small cars passing by with their headlights on.
Yu Xin hugged Yinglong tightly and sat behind obediently.
She was nervous and excited because someone had taken her to see the famous meteor shower tonight, and nervous because on such a dark night, Yinglong was taking her on a remote road.
Yinglong's speed was a little fast, and the cold wind blew through his neck.
It's already the early winter season, and the temperature is relatively low at night, so it's a little chilly.
The motorcycle was moving fast, and the air currents passed by, making a "whoosh" sound.
The road is immersed in darkness, and the trees on both sides show blurred outlines in the passing lights, and they are swarthy.
In less than an hour, they came to the foot of the mountain.
There are some vehicles parked in the open space below the mountain, and it seems that there are really a lot of stargazers tonight.
Yinglong parked the car in a conspicuous place and walked towards the mountain with Yuxin.
They all prepared thick clothes, and Yinglong wore a cotton jacket with a hood on his clothes.
Yu Xin was wearing a tweed coat and wrapped her body tightly. There is a silk scarf around his neck, and the tassel at the end is draped on his chest, which looks very elegant.
There was still some time before the midnight meteor shower, and they decided to walk up the mountain.
I heard about the Leonid meteor shower, famous for the comet Temple-Tuttle.
Every year in mid-November, a number of tiny meteors are dropped near the constellation Leo, which is famous all over the world.
Because there are more meteors sprinkled, like a drizzle, it is named "Leonid meteor shower".
Yinglong and Yuxin had heard the story of the meteor shower for a long time, but when they grew so big, no one accompanied them to see it.
Therefore, as soon as Yinglong said that he would take her to see the meteor shower, Yuxin happily agreed, and also prepared warm clothes early and waited for Yinglong to take her up the mountain.
She knew that it was cold at night, and repeatedly told Yinglong to wear more clothes in case she caught a cold on the top of the mountain.
They walked slowly along the path.
The mountain is actually not high, because it is not too far from the city, so Yinglong decided to take her here to see the meteor shower.
There were a few people walking in the dark on the trail, discussing tonight's meteor shower.
It seems that Yuxin and Yinglong also have some like-minded enthusiasts all the way.
The road was dark and there was no light, only the light of a few houses on the side of the road projected from the windows to the road.
Because of some development here, there are still a few street lights on the side of the road, but they are far apart, so the road surface is a little dark.
Yinglong held a small flashlight to shine on the road in front of him, and Yuxin nervously grabbed Yinglong's hand to follow his steps.
Halfway up the mountain, they were a little out of breath, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on their bodies.
Yinglong stopped, stood on the road and stretched his waist, took Yuxin's hand and asked, "It's so hot, are you tired?" ”
Yu Xin pinched her waist and gasped: "I'm so tired!" How can you not get tired? ”
Yinglong saw that she was too tired, so he straightened up and said, "You are too bad! Just walking so far, I say I'm tired! ”
Yu Xin saw Yinglong laughing at her, punched Yinglong in the chest, and protested loudly: "Hmph! Who the hell can't do it! ”
With that, she shook off her stride and ran forward, spilling crisp laughter along the way.
Yinglong was still stunned just now, and suddenly saw Yu Xin running away, he chased after him in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Hey! Be careful, don't run so fast, beware of the bad guys! ”
Yu Xin happily quickened her pace in front of her, and shouted at Yinglong: "You have the ability to chase after you!" ”
When Yinglong heard this, he was immediately unconvinced: "Are you still afraid that I won't be able to catch up with you?" ”
He immediately threw off his stride and chased after him, the light of the flashlight flickering up and down the path.
Within a few minutes, Yinglong caught up with Yu Xin and hugged her by the waist, Yu Xin struggled in Yinglong's arms, but soon lost her strength and simply leaned on Yinglong's arms.
Yinglong's heart was beating, he hugged Yuxin to his chest, kissed her ruddy lips in the night, and stroked her hair with one hand, while Yuxin simply closed her eyes and let Yinglong kiss her.
Although through the thick coat, Yinglong can still feel Yuxin's undulating and graceful curves.
At this moment, time seemed to stop turning, and the air seemed to condense.
There was silence all around, except for a few crickets hiding in the grass and making a crisp chirp.
After a while, they let go of their hugs and stood silently in the dark, Yinglong was excited, took Yuxin's hand and said, "Let's go!" Don't run away alone! ”
Yu Xin cut her long hair, shyly silent, and let Yinglong take her hand and walk towards the mountain.
Soon they reached the top of the mountain.
At the top of the hill, some stargazers have taken up a vantage point, setting up astronomical telescopes to observe the sky, and they are standing there whispering about the heavens tonight.
Yinglong and Yuxin found a place with few people and sat down and looked at the night sky.
The flat land at the top of the mountain is relatively empty, and some granite railings have been built along the side of the mountain, and some stone benches have been placed behind the railings to sit and rest.
Not far away were a few houses, and I don't know if there was anyone, and the lights were turned off and the doors were closed.
At this time, it seems that only these astronomy enthusiasts are left on the top of the mountain.
The two of them sat on the stone bench, feeling that the stool was cold and a little oozing, and they could almost feel the cold on the top of the mountain.
But they didn't care about it at the moment, after all, the cold was almost negligible.
Looking up at the starry sky, the view is very open, and on a clear day, the dark night sky is almost cloudless.
You can see the stars in the sky, and the crystal clear hangs high in the dark sky.
From the top of the mountain, you can see the city at a glance.
Under the orange street lamps, cars are flowing endlessly, and the headlights on the front of the car illuminate the road ahead.
In the distance, the high-rise buildings are almost lit up, and rows of flashing windows indicate that it is a signal that families are together.
Under this light, perhaps the family is savoring the hostess's elaborate dinner, so that they can sweep away the worries and tiredness of the day.
There are as many lights as there are households.
Under this endless sky, I don't know how many human dramas are being staged.
It can be said that there are as many twinkling windows as there are stories of joy and sorrow.
Yinglong said to Yu Xin beside him: "You look at those lights in the distance, do you see them?" ”
Yu Xin looked at it and felt deeply: "I saw it, it's beautiful, isn't it?" ”
Yinglong nodded: "Yes, it's beautiful, it's really a thousand lights!" ”
Yu Xin looked at Yinglong: "Bright as stars!" ”
Yinglong nodded: "Well, that's what I'm talking about. ”
Then they looked out at the distant scenery and thought of something in silence.
It's not far from midnight, and maybe a meteor shower is coming.
Suddenly, a few meteors crossed the sky, dragging their long tails and flashing by.
At this time, the surrounding stargazers exclaimed one after another: "Look! Meteor showers are coming! ”
Then, one after another, a number of tiny meteors crisscrossed the sky, leaving a shining trail on the black velvety night.
The fleeting starlight leaves a surprise in the eyes of stargazers.
Yinglong happily called Yu Xin to come and see the meteor.
Yu Xin raised her head to look at the night sky, grabbed Yinglong's arm tightly, and showed a surprised expression on her face.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring a telescope, so I couldn't see clearly." Yu Xin had some regrets.
"Alas, do you need a telescope for such a bright meteor?" Yinglong comforted her.
"Yinglong, look, the big meteor is coming!" Yu Xin shook Yinglong's arm and whispered.
Sure enough, an even more violent meteor shower silently streaked across the night sky.
The meteors with their long tails scattered into the sky like exploding flowers, leaving a silver trail on the black canopy, but unfortunately the meteors only flashed, leaving a moment of brilliance.
At this time, a larger and brighter meteor suddenly flew across the night sky, which was particularly eye-catching, and its tail was longer and brighter.
"Make a wish! Yinglong! ”
Yu Xin spoke quickly, clasped her hands together, and silently recited a wish with her eyes slightly closed.
"Ah, what wishes? Oh, Meteor Wish! ”
Yinglong also saw it, and he put his right hand on his chest and silently made a wish.
After a while, Yinglong looked at Yu Xin, who had just made a wish, and asked, "What wish did you make?" ”
Yu Xin blinked her big eyes mischievously: "If you don't tell you, it won't work if you say it!" ”
Yinglong was a little unconvinced: "Really! Then don't talk about it, I won't tell you! ”
After saying that, the two of them laughed stupidly.
Poignant and ephemeral meteor showers take away the best wishes of the world, but where do they send them?
Maybe it's the omnipotent, omniscient God that people often say? Or do you quietly bring the wish you made to the dream of the person to whom you have been entrusted?
It's like a spider who can dream, quietly carrying his wish into people's dreams, whispering to him that someone who has been caring about him has made a good wish for him.
The poignant meteor shower has passed.
Yinglong led Yuxin down the mountain, and they accompanied the crowd down the mountain to the parking lot.
Yinglong started the motorcycle and took Yuxin home.
Yu Xin pressed her body tightly against Yinglong's broad back, wrapped her arms tightly around Yinglong's waist, and rested her head on his shoulder.
The cold wind howled along the way, but their hearts were as hot as fire.
The two of them made their own wishes when the meteor shower came, so whether these wishes could be fulfilled or not, they really hoped to have a clear answer.
But the God of heaven would not tell them, after all, they were the ones who fulfilled these wishes.
Yinglong sent Yuxin home, and after watching her enter, he rode straight to his home on the deserted street.
He hopes that his wish will come true, and whether the meteor will work or not, he hopes that his wish will come true one day.
