I hung up the phone and went back to the restaurant.

Yuan Xiaomei asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sister, will you go back to the city in a while? Why don't you drop me off? ”

Before Yuan Xiaomei could reply, Yuan's mother took over the conversation: "I don't know how to live at home after the holidays, just now your grandfather Chu praised you for being sensible." ”

She stuck out her tongue: "Mom, I really have something, I'll come back to accompany you during the next long vacation." ”

Mother Yuan glanced at her, and Old Man Chu laughed: "Mother Xiaotang, the children are all older and have their own space, so we don't have to worry so much about being elders." Xiaotang, take Chu Yi's car, we can rest assured that he is by his side at night. ”

Yuan Xiaomei hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, I live at home tonight, you can follow Chu Yi." ”

Yuan Xiaotang looked at Chu Yi, who put down his chopsticks and asked her, "Are you going back to school?" ”

"Hmm."

Seeing that her eyes were a little fluttering, Chu Yi didn't continue to ask, and after eating, Yuan Xiaotang happily followed him out of the house and got into the white SUV - a very ordinary but practical car.

"Teacher Chu, you can just put me in the department store in the city, I still want to buy something, and I will go back by myself after I finish buying."

Chu Yi glanced at her, but didn't ask.

"Call me when it's over, I'll pick you up."

"No need, Mr. Chu, it's already very troublesome for you."

"It's a big night, I'm not worried about you alone, what time is the entrance control of the dormitory building?" It was not a tone of discussion, and Yuan Xiaotang did not insist anymore.

"Ten o'clock."

"Okay, I see, call me when it's over."

In a moment's trance, a faint light hit the side of his face, a small warmth filled her heart, and she smiled and nodded.

Almost trotted to the Fina bar, put on makeup casually in the lounge, changed into a sportswear that he was used to, said hello to Brother Qi and went on the small stage, regular customers saw her coming, applauded again and again, the lights came down, she was bright like a small pearl in the center of the stage, Chu Yi, who was sitting in the corner of the bar, kept looking at her, and Brother Qi was very understanding and sent a bottle of mineral water to him.

"The little girl sings well." Brother Qi lay on the bar and looked complacent.

"Not bad." Chu Yi replied briefly.

"You hurriedly threw down Xue Min and left that day, the girl looked a little sad."

Yuan Xiaotang left that day, and Chu Yi chased her out, until she walked into the department store and walked out in a student uniform.

So just now she said she was going to buy something, and I guessed that she was coming here.

"What did she say?" Chu Yi asked.

"I didn't say anything, just some emotional words, what happened to the two of you back then? Why did the two people who were right say that they were scattered? Brother Qi said regretfully.

Chu Yi turned around and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's probably inappropriate, didn't your Fina look back." ”

Brother Qi made a heart-piercing pose.

"You kid just poke me in the heart, you haven't been here for several years, you didn't run to me when you went to school, I remember that Xue Min also sang there at that time, yes, you also looked at her like this. What a familiar picture. Brother Qi quipped.

Chu Yi looked at Yuan Xiaotang on the stage, thoughtful.

"They're different."

。。。。。

Tonight is really singing, when she came to her senses, it was already more than eleven o'clock, her heart was broken, and she found a quiet place to call Chu Yi.

"Teacher Chu, I'm sorry, I may not be able to go back to school tonight."

There was some noise over there, and after a long silence, I heard his voice coming from the microphone: "Where do you live?" ”

Where to stay? I can only make do with it in the bar, but I can't tell Chu Yi like this, anyway, I lied all night, so it's not bad, I comforted myself in my heart, and I have already begun to talk nonsense: "Fellow student." ”

"I'm still waiting for you at the place where you got off, is thirty minutes enough?" His tone was resolute, not giving her the slightest chance to refuse.

"But... Well, enough, fifteen minutes is enough. ”

"Okay, I'll see you in fifteen minutes." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, Yuan Xiaotang was stunned for a while with his mobile phone, turned around and went back to pack his things, and said hello to Brother Qi by the way.

Chu Yi hung up the phone and looked at Yuan Xiaotang, who was walking back with his head down, out of the bar first.

When Yuan Xiaotang arrived there, Chu Yi was leaning against the car door and looking up at the sky.

Walk around to him and look up with his gaze.

"Teacher Chu, I'm really curious, is the night sky seen from your eyes different from what I see?" She followed his gaze, the moon was round, there were not many stars, but each one was very serious.

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth had a faint smile.

"It shouldn't be any different."

Yuan Xiaotang was dumbfounded, and listened to him again.

"The night sky of the city is flooded with this bright neon like day, and the light pollution is so severe that it is difficult to reproduce the starry sky."

Yuan Xiaotang thought about it: "When I was a child, the night sky was indeed full of stars, and I don't know when I suddenly couldn't see it, probably because of this sleepless light that made us forget them, and when we remembered it, they had lost their original color." ”

Chu Yi snorted and was silent for a moment.

"But there are still many places where you can see the beautiful starry sky even with the naked eye, such as the summit of Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island, where the air is thin, rainfall is low, there is zero light pollution, and the vision is good.

There, you can see that everything in the world is shrouded in stars, and the spectacular summer Milky Way is like a still tornado perpendicular to the horizon, and like a sword straight into the earth... Speaking of the starry sky, his eyes seemed to be full of stars, bright like an excited child, and she suddenly felt that this person loved astronomy from the bottom of his bones.

She looked at him infatuatedly, and the picture he painted gradually came to her mind, and a sense of reverence for nature made her feel a little excited.

"It's so beautiful, let you say this, you feel like you have to go and see it in vain. Looks like I'm going to have to get my passport. She said jokingly.

Chu Yi smiled, he said: "You can see such a beautiful starry sky without going abroad, just like Namco in Tibet, Heima River in Qinghai, Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia, etc., the starry sky you see there will make you feel very close, there is a kind of artistic conception of picking the stars in ancient poems, and it will also make you feel your own insignificance, the vast universe, and human civilization can only explore a drop in the ocean, so there is no impetuousness or hurry, only tranquility and contemplation." ”

Yuan Xiaotang's yearning eyes made him laugh: "Do you want to go?" ”

Yuan Xiaotang nodded, and then grinned: "It seems that he will take me there." ”

"That's not for sure." At this time, an advertisement was playing on the big screen of the mall, the white light hit the side of his face, and a pair of eyes were as clear as the starry sky he had just described, but she saw herself stunned for a moment in that galaxy.
