The late night of August calms down the heat of the day, and the night is slightly cool.

On the outskirts of the city, an elegant little villa. The roof is arranged like a garden, surrounded by potted jasmine in bloom, with swings and rattan chairs in the middle, and rocking chairs and small tea tables that are clearly freshly moved up. At this time, a teenager was lazily lying in a rocking chair, squinting at the starry night sky.

Luckily, there was no moon tonight, and the starry sky was exceptionally bright.

At a glance, the dazzling Big Dipper is the constellation Ursa Major, next to it is the constellation Ursa Minor, the huge one to the south is the constellation Scorpio, and the inconspicuous constellation Centauri to the lower left.

The boy glanced at his watch with some boredom, twelve forty-nine.

The news said that there would be a huge meteor shower tonight, why didn't I see a meteor so late, could it be that the staff of the observatory were fooling people again.

The boy thought with some slander.

I don't blame him for his malicious speculation, this kind of thing has a criminal record. Last spring, the city observatory also sent a message that there would be a meteor shower, but after waiting for a night, the meteor shower did not arrive, and a drizzle came. Fortunately, my health is not bad, otherwise I am afraid that it will be another cold.

"Huh ~ ~~" A wave of sleepiness hit, and the boy couldn't help but yawn, and his eyelids slowly drooped.

"Sky spreading the sun

Children Under the Sky I

Fly like a dream

My Life is a Beauty”

The pleasant ringtone temporarily dispelled the sleepy insects, and the boy picked up the mobile phone on the tea table and swiped his hand to connect the phone.

"Su Muran, you're not asleep, are you!" The shouting on the other end of the phone made Su Muran completely sober up.

"Not yet, your eldest lady Tong is staying up all night waiting for the meteor shower, how dare I go to bed first?" Su Muran sighed helplessly.

"Giggles, that's good, I'll tell you, when the meteor shower comes, open the video for me immediately, or I'll kill you when I go back to school." ”

Miss Tong Tong on the other end of the phone didn't seem to hear Su Muran's helplessness at all, and still threatened him happily.

"Okay, okay, I know, when are you coming back?"

"I'll be back in a week, it's winter here in Sydney, it's cold, there's nothing fun. If it weren't for my dad not being able to go back, I wouldn't be here for my birthday. Miss Tong Tong said angrily.

Su Muran couldn't help but smile, Tong Tong is his childhood sweetheart, his birthday on August 18, a typical Leo.

Since listening to the song "Leo" sung by Brother Zeng many years ago, he resolutely cut his hair short, and changed from a gentle and lovely little sister to a quirky eldest lady.

Her father is the consul general of the Chinese Consulate General in Sydney, Australia, because he is too busy, he has not been home for two years.

"Oh, no, my mother seems to be coming to check the room, I'll hang up first!" Without waiting for Su Muran to answer, Miss Tong Tong on the other end of the phone hung up the phone in a panic.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Su Muran couldn't help but laugh softly. It's no wonder that the parents of seventeen-year-old girls will definitely be stricter, and it is almost three o'clock in Sydney according to the time zone.

Put down the phone, picked up the teapot on the tea table and wanted to drink some tea to refresh yourself, only to find that the teapot had dried up, so I had no choice but to put it down again.

Su Muran smiled bitterly and shook his head, he had already drunk three pots of tea, and he had already gone to bed at half past ten, where would it be so late, but in order to satisfy Sister Tong Tong's wish to watch the meteor shower, it was better to be patient, and give her a birthday gift two days in advance.

I grabbed the slightly worn book next to my phone and turned the first page.

—Achilles and Agamemnon were feuding over a quarrel

Sing it, goddess, for the wrath of Achilles, the son of Peleus."

The Homeric Epic is Su Muran's favorite tale, which is divided into two parts, the Iliad and the Odyssey, which tells the story of the ten-year war caused by the ancient Greeks and the Trojans for the beautiful queen Helen and the ten-year wandering of the Achaian leader Odysseus on his way home after the war.

Among them, Su Muran's favorite is the tragic hero Achilles who was shot to death by Apollo, but Su Muran prefers to call him Achilles.

"The sinister and cunning Apollo, relying on himself to be a god, is really shameless to shoot dark arrows at mortals. ”

After turning a few more pages, Su Muran put down the book stupidly, this book was bought when he was just in high school, and it has been two years now, and he has already memorized the plot in it, and it doesn't matter if he reads it or not.

"If only I could become Achilles. Su Muran thought in his heart, if he was Achilles, he would never give Apollo any chance to release the cold arrow, and he would have to teach him a good lesson. It seems that in mythology, these gods have low IQs, so it is better to soak his sister by the way, disgusting Apollo to death.

Su Muran was thinking beautifully in his heart, when suddenly a dazzling light crossed the night sky in front of him, it was a meteor!

Then another meteor streaked across the sky and quickly disappeared into the night. He was shocked by the ensuing scene! Hundreds of meteors swept across the vast starry sky, and at this moment, even the Milky Way was overshadowed! The long-awaited Perseid meteor shower has finally arrived!

Su Muran looked at the scene in front of him in shock, the stars fell like rain, like a dream, it was impossible to describe the magnificent beauty in words, nature is the greatest artist, and the casual works are so shocking.

I don't know how long I watched it, and before I knew it, the meteor shower also became sparse, and Su Muran, who had just woken up from the shock of the meteor shower, suddenly remembered a very important thing, Tong Tong was still waiting for his video call!

Thinking of the consequences of the no-show, Su Muran even had a faint pain in his teeth, and hurriedly launched a video request, and at the same time glanced at the starry sky, and secretly prayed in his heart, "The Jade Emperor is like the Buddha, the Queen Mother, Guanyin Bodhisattva, don't stop bless the meteor shower." ”

Su Muran waited anxiously for Miss Tong to answer the phone, her eyes staring at the night sky, hoping that the meteor shower would rain more. However, the gods and Buddhas didn't seem to hear his prayers, or they didn't want to pay attention to the small wishes of this little mortal, and the meteor shower became more and more thin.

"It's over!" Su Muran only had this thought in his heart now, thinking that Miss Tong couldn't see the meteor shower's violent appearance, Su Muran couldn't help but shudder.

"Toot-toot-" After a busy tone, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded on the other end of the phone: "The other party can't answer for the time being, please dial again later." ”

Didn't answer!

Su Muran was overjoyed and put down her mobile phone without hesitation, although in the end, Miss Tong still didn't see the meteor shower, but the nature of not calling and not answering the phone is always different, it was you who didn't answer the phone and didn't see the meteor shower, so you can't blame me anymore.

Su Muran snickered in her heart, it is estimated that Miss Tong was discovered by her mother, and then her mobile phone was confiscated, well, it must be so!

Lying on the rocking chair, Su Muran suddenly thought of something, and patted his forehead in frustration, "I am really stupid that so many meteors actually forgot to make a wish." "Look up at the night sky again, but unfortunately the night is as cold as water at the moment, where is there still the shadow of a meteor.

"It's okay, there will be a Geminid meteor shower in a few months, and then I will make a wish. Su Muran had no choice but to comfort himself like this.

However, he also knew that it was almost impossible, because according to the Observatory, the scale of the Geminid meteor shower this year was outrageously small, and it was not certain whether the meteor shower would be visible at that time.

Su Muran glanced at his watch, it was almost three o'clock, fortunately it was a holiday, and he didn't have to care about getting up early tomorrow. Although he thought so in his heart, he still stood up without hesitation and prepared to go downstairs to sleep.

Picking up his mobile phone and books, his eyes swept over the cover of Homer's epic poems, and he thought of Achilles who died under Apollo's arrows, "If only I could be Achilles." ”

Su Muran muttered to himself, and walked downstairs leisurely.

However, what he didn't notice was that behind him, another meteor with a red light suddenly crossed the night sky. As if hearing his wish, the long tail of light drew a strange arc and headed straight towards him!
