【001】Meteor shower

Next Chapter

On April 28, 1995, Chu Lei was born in Xiangrong City, his parents worked hard for most of their lives, in 2002, they met the golden age of real estate sales, and the family's building materials business is also getting better and better, and they have bought four houses in this beautiful coastal city, which is not very rich, but it is much stronger than the average well-off family, and life is also happy.

But in 2010, Chu Lei's parents passed away in a car accident, which also made his personality change greatly when he was only fifteen years old.

The smile that was originally on his lips disappeared, and his lively and cheerful personality gradually became withdrawn and silent, and his once top academic performance plummeted, and in the end, he dropped out of school and went home without even finishing high school, which made a group of teachers who were optimistic about him sigh.

Losing the meaning of life, he has no plan for his life, relying on the rent of three houses and the compensation of the travel company to live the life of an otaku, which has passed for more than eight years since 2010, and eight years have allowed him to get out of the shadow of the death of his parents, but also shaped his independent character that is different from ordinary people......

……

"Guest, the seaside community has arrived, a total of thirteen yuan."

Hearing the taxi master's prompt, Chu Lei nodded, paid the car money, and then walked towards the community where he lived with two large bags of food.

It's evening now, the golden sun is not as hot as the daytime, and there are many residents walking in the green community, and people come and go, and it is very lively.

"Dad, how are you playing with your mother in the South China Sea? …… Well, I just came back from learning the piano, and I was on my way home...... Roar, I'll take care of myself, don't worry...... Uh-huh, got it...... Have fun...... Well, bye-bye. ”

On the side of the road, a girl with a piano bag was sitting on a stone chair and making a phone call, although the voice was not loud, Chu Lei happened to walk in front of her, heard the familiar place name, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the girl.

The girl is very beautiful, with delicate facial features, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a black short skirt on the lower body.

"Very beautiful girl...... this was Chu Lei's first impression, and then ...... There is no then, for him, an otaku who has stayed at home at the age of fifteen and has no bad habits, although he has fantasized about women because of his physical maturity, he will not be unable to walk when he sees a beautiful girl, just hearing what the girl said about the South China Sea.

His parents were killed while traveling in the South China Sea.

At this time, the girl also hung up the phone, looked up and saw Chu Lei, who was also looking at her, she blinked, although she was a stranger, her lively and outgoing personality and good tutoring made her still smile and nodded, and said hello.

Chu Lei nodded slightly as if in response, his expression did not change, his footsteps did not stop, he naturally turned his head and continued to walk in the direction of home, which seemed to him to be just a small episode, and he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

"It's almost my parents' death day, let's go buy some incense candles and paper money another day." Looking at the road under his feet, Chu Lei thought in his heart.

Maybe it was because Chu Lei looked at her eyes a little strangely just now, the girl stared at Chu Lei's departing back for a while, and after a few seconds, she shook her head and muttered, "Strange person." Then he put this episode behind, gathered the hem of his short skirt and stood up, and walked happily towards the small supermarket in the community.

There's a meteor shower tonight, and she wants to buy some snacks to pass the time of the boring wait......

……

"Bang!"

The door closes, the crystal lamp in the living room is turned on, and the soft light instantly illuminates the entire living room.

The living room is connected to the dining room, which makes this house of more than 100 square meters look quite spacious, the furniture is neatly arranged, and the ground is spotless.

After putting the shoes into the shoe cabinet, Chu Lei went to sort out the food he bought today, these are all foods that are not sold in the supermarket in the community, he is not short of money, so in terms of eating, he has never treated himself badly, it can be said that eating is one of his few hobbies, and it didn't take long for the originally empty cupboards and refrigerators to be filled with all kinds of food again.

"Bought too much." Looking at the remaining three packs of snacks, Chu Lei frowned, he had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the extra snacks made him a little uncomfortable.

Casually put three packs of snacks on the coffee table, Chu Lei returned to the kitchen to fry two side dishes, solved his dinner, and cleaned the dishes and chopsticks.

After eating, the time has reached about seven o'clock in the evening, the sky outside has darkened, and every house in the surrounding buildings has turned on the lights, and the flow of people in the community at night is obviously much less, far less noisy than during the day, and a little more quiet.

Chu Lei opened the floor-to-ceiling window, the cool summer night breeze blew on his face, and the comfort on his face made him squint his eyes pleasantly, and then, with some thoughts, he turned back to his bedroom, and when he returned to the balcony, he already had a book with a delicate cover in his hand.

Similarly, all kinds of novels are also one of his hobbies, sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, blowing the cool evening breeze, eating snacks, Chu Lei began to read the books in his hand.

……

Time passed quietly, Chu Lei looked at the book in his hand with relish, as if he had entered the wonderful world in the book, feeling the experience that could never be truly experienced, although there were only words, but this did not hinder his thoughts, compared to reality, maybe the world in the novel is what he really longed for......

Immersed in the world of the book, he did not feel the passage of time, and it was not until the light around him became noticeably brighter that he came back to his senses from the world of the book.

He looked up and looked at the two residential buildings diagonally opposite.

The windows with the lights on in the two residential buildings are now almost all curtained, and figures are shaking in front of each window, as if something has happened.

Chu Lei put down the book in his hand, looked at this scene, recalled it slightly, and remembered that the TV station seemed to have a special report a few days ago, and there would be a meteor shower in the next few days, and in retrospect, the time predicted by the TV station seemed to be June 6th, that is, tonight.

He had never seen a meteor shower before, and it was said that this was a large-scale meteor shower that was rare in a century, so he couldn't help but feel a little interested, put down the novel in his hand and stood up, leaned on the window edge, blowing the evening breeze, and waited for the meteor shower to come with those strange neighbors.

I didn't have to wait long, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, which was very conspicuous!

Like a signal, meteors kept appearing in the sky, and these meteors flashed in the dark night sky, streaked through a series of brilliant streamers, short and beautiful.

Not to mention, the dense appearance of meteors is indeed a rare and strange scene, Chu Lei was also a little stunned for a while, looking up at the sky, admiring this wonderful scene.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a different meteor, which lasted for a long time, with a bright tail drawing a bright line in the night sky, as if splitting the dark night sky in half, it was very spectacular!

In less than a minute, like the last bloom of fireworks, in the night sky, the fleeting meteors did not decrease, but more and more meteors drew bright rays of light, which did not disappear for a long time!

For a while, the night sky seemed to be cut apart by countless meteors, and it was full of color!

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

"Baby, hurry up and make a wish, so many meteors, your wish will definitely come true!"

"Son, come and take a picture of me and your mother."

"It's spectacular, hurry up and shoot a few videos to record this beautiful moment."

"Wife, help me take out the SLR in the bedroom, and I'll take a picture of you!"

For a while, the whole community was lively, and people took out their mobile phones to record this beautiful moment, but some people just watched quietly and deeply imprinted this wonderful scene into their minds.

Chu Lei was also enjoying this scene, but it didn't take long for him to suddenly notice a bright point of light appearing in the sky, which lasted for a long time, and was very obvious in the dark night sky, and this point of light was getting brighter and brighter, as if it was ............ It's falling to your side!

A sense of danger came to his heart, and without thinking about it, Chu Lei instinctively turned around and ran towards the living room, wanting to escape from this meteor that seemed to fall towards him!

But just two steps away, the meteor had already smashed into the balcony where Chu Lei was standing before, and an invisible energy shock wave was instantly formed, sweeping away the surroundings, Chu Lei didn't have any extra thoughts at all, and in the impact, he lost consciousness!

The glass of the floor-to-ceiling window shattered, the ground was instantly pierced by a meteor, and his body was pushed out by this shock wave, smashed on the wall, and finally fell on the sofa in the living room, his eyes were closed, unconscious!

After Chu Lei fell into a coma, countless meteors fell from the sky, of different sizes, like cannonballs, baptizing the entire community!

There are traces of penetration on the outer wall of the building, deep pits have been smashed out of the clean and tidy ground, and the cars in the parking space have been smashed flat under the impact of meteorites......

Death, panic, strong tremors, buildings collapsing, disasters happen in an instant, people don't even have time to react, without warning!

If you look down from the sky at this moment, you will find that not only the seaside community, but also the entire Xiangrong City, the whole country, and even the entire planet are now happening the same scene......
