Chapter Twenty-Three: Caring for the Whole Star Alone

What is the way to slow down time – the answer is to stay up late.

One o'clock in the morning, outside the kitchen, two high chairs.

On the eaves of the window is a song by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass, a song of Sir Sakars, Ladyfingers, melodious and cozy.

Jiang Baizhi was holding a cup of coffee that had just been brewed with hot water in her hand, and her legs were dangling unconsciously, and it could be seen that she was enjoying it.

She was looking at the starry sky, and Su Ye was looking at her.

In fact, Su Ye was a little sleepy, but Su Ye didn't want to end.

It is written that no matter who is too enthusiastic about it, it will increase the probability of not being cherished, and if you can avoid violent joy, there will naturally be no grief.

But who can really do that?

Like, isn't it the sinking of free will?

"It's been a long time since I've looked at the starry sky so quietly, Su Ye, do you know how far away the nearest star is from us?"

Su Ye shook his head and looked up at the night sky, where there were stars twinkling at the moment.

"The nearest star to us is 4.4 light years, if this star wants us to see its light, we need to walk in the vast and desolate universe for more than four years, just when it arrived, just when we raised our heads, this is an encounter across time and space, from the universe, isn't it very romantic and moving?"

"Romance is long, romance is also bright." This is the evaluation that Su Ye couldn't help blurting out, mainly because he also remembered his reunion with Jiang Baizhi, isn't it the same, spanning more than ten years, how romantic it is to reunite in another country.

When Jiang Baizhi heard this, she glanced at Su Ye deeply, and Su Ye was looking at the starry sky seriously at the moment, this is the starry sky recommended by Jiang Baizhi.

"Some stars are even farther away from us, maybe thousands of years, tens of thousands of years before they come to us, so when you think about it, will there be a feeling of witnessing history?"

Su Ye nodded, "When I read Kant in school, I said that the starry sky above our heads is one of the two things we should look up to, and I have never had a clear feeling, but when I heard you say this today, I seem to understand." ”

"It's rare, I can teach you a lesson too." Jiang Baizhi said with a smile.

"It's really beneficial." Su Ye never hesitated to praise Jiang Baizhi, "When we all look at the starry sky, it seems that many of our feelings are the insignificance of human beings, compared with the starry sky and the universe, we are like a drop in the ocean." But what you feel is moving, and it's an angle I never thought of. ”

"That's because, since I was a child, I've been taking care of the whole star by myself."

Jiang Baizhi stood up, stretched out her arms, and was full of energy.

This is a very poetic sentence, coupled with Jiang Baizhi's proud tone, Su Ye, who listened to it, was also emotional.

Tonight, it's estimated that it will be very late to go to bed......

The next day, at nine o'clock, Su Ye opened his eyes, which was a rare late wake-up for him.

After leaving a message on Jiang Baizhi's WeChat, he went out of the small courtyard and looked for something to eat. According to Jiang Baizhi's habits, it is estimated that she will get up at eleven o'clock.

Out of the small courtyard, I found the restaurant along the main road according to the directions, and just happened to meet Gao Ming.

"Looking for breakfast?"

Su Ye was a little embarrassed, "Brother Hao, we got up late, and we didn't have anything to eat in the kitchen." ”

"It's okay, I'm about to send it to you. The kitchen in the small courtyard should not have been handled yet, and you can go out with Xiao Jiang to buy some in the afternoon. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can just come to our canteen. ”

"I'll eat here, Bai Zhi estimates that it will be a little later to wake up."

Gao Ming asked while letting the restaurant serve things, "Did you sleep late last night?" ”

"I watched the stars for a while, and then went to bed at three o'clock."

"Oh..."Gao Ming instantly showed a gossipy expression, "Are you two together?" ”

"Brother Ming, you misunderstood, we are just good friends."

Gao Ming was very measured, and did not continue to ask, but changed the topic and said, "But it's good that Xiao Jiang can have a friend like you, accompany her to watch the stars, prove that you are someone she can trust, and you are the same age, she has another partner who can speak her heart." ”

Su Ye sighed in his heart, in fact, he wanted to ask when Gao Ming vaguely mentioned it in the car yesterday, and there were more doubts at the moment, but Su Ye didn't speak directly, but took a bite of the bun and said quietly, "Bai Zhi is so good, there shouldn't be a shortage of friends, right?" ”

"But people's hearts are unpredictable, I also heard Lu Qing mention it, you know that Xiao Jiang is an instant hit, she was still a student at the time, and her mind was quite simple. made a few friends who were actors of the same age, but I didn't expect to be used and robbed of roles, in short, I was hurt. Since then, although Xiao Jiang's personality has not changed much, he has been much colder about making friends...... We've been watching, but there's not much we can do. ”

For so many years, Su Ye had actually paid attention to Jiang Baizhi intentionally or unintentionally, but he had never noticed these things......

"As for when I was a child, I also heard Lu Qing say that it seems that Xiao Jiang's parents have been busy with business, and although they have classmates and friends, they are still lonely in their hearts......"

Su Ye suddenly thought of Jiang Baizhi's energetic words last night: Since I was a child, I have taken care of the whole star alone!

At this moment, Su Ye's heart was full of distress, and he only understood the meaning of this sentence at this moment. Yes, because I didn't have my parents with me when I was a child, I could only watch the stars alone. When I grow up, I am deceived by my friends, and I can only watch the stars alone! And the reason why she was moved was probably because in the years when she was growing up, only these stars accompanied her......

Everyone, including himself, only saw Jiang Baizhi's glamour and brightness, and saw her radiant spirit, but he didn't see her heart!

After this period of contact, Su Ye could feel that Jiang Baizhi's heart was still warm and warm, but this was the case, Su Ye was even more distressed, how strong does Jiang Baizhi have to be to still maintain such a beautiful feeling?

For a while, Su Ye only felt that the food in his mouth was like chewing wax, and he couldn't eat it at all.

"Excuse me, am I talking too much?"

"No, if you hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have known that Bai Zhi worked so hard."

Gao Ming nodded, "Xiao Jiang is very good, but for so many years, she has stayed at home in addition to work, and her social circle is very narrow. Xiao Jiang and we are also very close, but Lu Qing and I are older than you after all, and we are more like half elders. It is more natural for you to get along with each other, and it will make Xiao Jiang open his heart more. So if you have time, if she asks you out to play, you can accompany her out for a walk. ”

Su Ye nodded heavily, but he didn't dare to stay any longer, otherwise he was really afraid that he would not be able to hold back his emotions and lose his temper in front of Gao Ming.

"Brother Ming, I'm done, I'll go back with breakfast first."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Looking at Su Ye's hurried appearance, Gao Ming, who was still melancholy just now, instantly gritted his teeth and laughed, he said that it was true that Xiao Jiang was deceived in his early years, and it was also true that he was not keen on socializing, but Xiao Jiang would enjoy life, and he had nothing to do with skiing and skydiving alone and traveling by car, not chic, but it was not good to be so chic, after all, he was also old.

Xiao Jiang, it's the first time I've seen you bring someone back for so many years, and my eldest brother can only assist here......
