June is our farewell song

Chapter 28 On a Starry Night ([-])
On the night of October, the shadow of the moon gradually elongated, and the moonlight gradually diffused towards the classroom in all directions like water waves. It was faintly cool, like a clear spring in a mountain, chilly.The air conditioner has been turned off by the squad leader. Above the head is a ceiling fan that is dangling non-stop, as if it is about to fall down at any time, turning leaf by leaf. It seems that a one-act play is being staged in the huge classroom. Many people or They walked out of the classroom with their shoulders crossed or in twos and threes chatting and laughing, and soon there were only a few people left in the rows of tables and chairs.

"Hmm..." Qi Yu turned sideways to face him, then looked him up and down, with a rare trace of tender pity in his eyes, and said, "Are you still going? Over there at the Astronomical Society."

"Hey——" Gu Yuan sighed softly, he couldn't feel the existence of his right ankle at all, but if he twisted it a little, it would hurt him, "Let's forget it."

"Okay, then I'll go first, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Watching Qi Yu walk out of the gate, he was finally the only one left in the classroom.

Gu Yuan looked away slightly, feeling a little helpless, an inexplicable emotion gradually emerged in his heart, soft and cool, like pieces of falling feathers, piled up in a certain corner .

The bell for the evening self-study get out of class had just rang, and the students filed out from each class, like a menacing army of ants marching collectively, and merged into the same broad avenue from different directions.Suddenly, Gu Yuan saw a girl who was against the flow of people.

When I saw Chi Yu again, she was already standing at the gate of Class One (1) of Senior High. Gu Yuan saw a pair of starry eyes, like a lake, sparkling ripples blown away by the breeze. , like light dancing dust leaking through the bright leaves of a plane tree.

Gu Yuan stared blankly at the smiling girl, from that moment he knew that he would never forget this scene forever.

"How did you come?"

"Huh? Didn't you say you want to watch the meteor shower together?"

"Ah, yes, but that should be me looking for you."

Many strange ideas popped up in Gu Yuan's mind, but he still didn't say a word in the end, and he still understood the truth that if you talk too much, you will lose it.

"Meteor shower..." Gu Yuan turned his head to look at the sky outside, and murmured, the sky is cloudless and the sky is perfect for observing the weather, but the viewing angle here is really not that good, not to mention the school The eaves of the Hui-style buildings used in the teaching building quite block the line of sight, and the correct observation direction of the Taurid meteor shower should be facing east, but the windows on his side are facing northeast.

"Yes, yes, because you were injured. I guess it is too inconvenient for you to go to the Astronomical Society, so I ran here by myself." Chi Yu's tone was quite brisk, but from her faintly trembling eyelashes However, Gu Yuan clearly felt a deep, deep tension.

"Hmm..." Gu Yuan wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, his eyes moved erratically from side to side, but at such a close distance, such a clear outline, no matter how wandering his peripheral vision was, The destination is always unable to avoid Chi Yu's cheeks, so he can only laugh foolishly, "Haha...haha..."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, but Chi Yu only crossed her hands and fingers in front of her chest, smiling cutely with the corners of her eyes crooked, and looked at Gu Yuan tenderly and patiently.

The boy's smile froze on his face as if it had expired. He slightly turned his head and lowered his eyelids, dissipated the smile, took a deep breath and adjusted to a relatively peaceful posture.

Speaking of it, the two seem to have never officially known each other.

You can't keep silent like this, can you?Gu Yuan plucked up his courage and took a new step.

"Hello, classmate Chi Yu, my name is Gu Yuan."

What a terrible opening.If anyone could now see what wasn't there, they would see a soul twisted as twisted as an enchanted villager.

"My name is Chi Yu, hello." Chi Yu smiled lightly.

Actually, I have known you for a long time.

"Wow, look!"

Gu Yuan turned his head and looked at the night sky, a beam of silvery white light flashed past, like a naughty child lightly drawing a short stroke on the black curtain with a colored pen.

"It's already started, the meteor shower."

"Hey, Gu Yuan, do you know the legend of Taurus? It seems that it is different from what many people imagine, but Taurus is the symbol of love and beauty in the twelve constellations."

"Yes, according to legend, in the very distant ancient Greek era, the continent of Europe had no name yet. There was a kingdom called the Phoenician Kingdom. The capitals, Tyre and Sidon, were rich places. King Agenor had a One day, Zeus, the god of heaven, passed by here when he was wandering in the world, and happened to meet Europa who was playing in the sea. Zeus fell in love with this princess at first sight, and after returning to the sky, he still loved her. This princess never forgets."

"Well, what then?" Chi Yu's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"In the Kingdom of Phoenicia, there is a very large pasture with countless cattle. Princess Europa often comes here to play with the cattle. So, on a sunny day, In the morning, when the princess appeared in the pasture again, she suddenly discovered that there was a very special big white cow in the herd."

"Big white bull?"

"Yes, this big white cow is not only fit and handsome, but also has a sweet singing voice like the sounds of nature. The princess was attracted by the singing without knowing it, and walked towards it unconsciously. Then leaned on the cow's body , and sang with it unrestrainedly.”

"It's Zeus, right? This cow must be Zeus."

"Hahaha, yes, it is Zeus. He turned into a cow in order to avoid the eyes of the queen Hera. The most popular, Princess Europa became the goddess of the earth. Her name was used to name her encounter with Zeus. The continent of Europe, which is now Europe, and Zeus put his incarnation white bull into the starry sky as a commemoration, and it became the current Taurus. In fact, the story of Taurus is that the Lord of the Gods fell in love with a mortal. The story is cliché, isn't it?"

Chi Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, Chi Yu discovered something astonishing, she pointed out the window and called out: "Look!"

Outside the window, a golden-red flash of light flashed across the sky, accompanied by a faint "rustling" sound, and amidst Chi Yu's soft cry, this short-lived ray of light returned to darkness again.

"Fire meteor, I didn't expect to be able to see a fire meteor." Gu Yuan looked at the trail left by the flashing light and shadow in the night sky and murmured softly. This was the first time he saw a fire meteor, maybe It is also the last time, in other words, this is very likely to be the only chance in his life.

"It's so beautiful..." Chi Yu said, "By the way, did you just make a wish?"

"Well... it's a promise. What about you?"

"Of course. Meteors are stars that crash into the atmosphere, which is the 'present tense'; and starlight is just the shadow of ancient stars, which is the 'past tense'. So, if you want to make a wish, of course you must look for the present My Xing Xing is here to help." Chi Yu said in a very serious tone, but at the end even she couldn't help laughing out loud.The figure covering his mouth and laughing lightly reminded Gu Yuan of the sunflower on the balcony of the room, both of them exuded a faint warmth.

He turned his head and looked out the window. From time to time, a short stream of light flashed by in the night, and the time passed by every minute and every second. At any moment, the universe is constantly evolving, and stars are born and fall every minute and every second. The journey of starlight spanning hundreds of millions of years leaves traces in people's eyes, and then flies away, disappearing in the darkness far away from the earth.

Everything we see, because of the limitless distance and the speed of light, is just a silhouette of a long time ago.

Even the light of the moon has a delay of more than one second to reach the ground. In fact, in this starry night sky, only meteors are the only "present continuous tense".

Thinking about it this way, it is really a very romantic thing to watch a meteor shower with someone you like.

At this moment, on the big lawn outside the school observatory, more than 100 people gathered in groups of three or five in different places, chirping and discussing the fire meteor they just saw. On the steps, holding an unopened letter in his hand.This is the letter he wanted to send to Chi Yu on the playground yesterday, but he never expected that the girl would reject it so quickly.

He pursed his lips, then smiled helplessly and mockingly, and threw the letter into the trash can beside him.

Liu Qingsi and Qi Yu stood on a high place, and there were meteors flashing across the sky above, but their gazes fell on different places.

Liu Qingsi was still holding the thin copy of "The Great Gatsby", she gently stood on tiptoe and put it down again, her body went up and down continuously.

"Aren't you looking for him yet?"

"..." Qi Yu didn't reply, but just cast his gaze to a distant corner.

Feng Ziqiu leaned against the tree, quietly looking up at the pitch-black sky, the dust in the air was divided by light, and the shadows overlapped together, making the two seem to be separated by an infinite distance.

"Go ahead, don't worry about me."

When Qi Yu finally plucked up the courage to walk towards Feng Ziqiu, Liu Qingsi puffed her lips and smiled softly.

Along an invisible straight line, the two walked in opposite directions.

On the way back to the dormitory from the observatory, there is a very dark path. There are only three lights on the 150-meter road that can only illuminate a small lawn.

"Ok?"

But when she walked here tonight, Liu Qingsi didn't feel scared, because about ten meters in front of her, there was a boy bouncing a football.

There was no words or even eye contact, the girl held the book in her hand, and the boy was bouncing the ball on his feet, the two just walked in tandem on this dimly lit road, silent, only the shoe surface and the The sound of footballs colliding echoed in the air, which was surprisingly pleasant.

Of course, Gu Yuan doesn't know all this now, his attention was completely attracted by what Chi Yu whispered just now as if joking, "Can we watch the meteor shower together every year from now on?" past.

There is also the phrase "Okay" that I blurted out. Immediately responding to other people's jokes, it makes Gu Yuan feel like a clown, with a red nose and a painted face, which is very ridiculous.

But then Chi Yu's reaction turned everything around.

When the girl smiled and said to him, "From now on, please teach me a lot!", the moment the two looked at each other, Gu Yuan felt as if his heart was suddenly on fire.

A dreamy sense of unreality engulfed him,

　Today is the first day of the college entrance examination. Oh, I suddenly realized that my college entrance examination has happened many years ago. At that time, I was still taking the Jiangsu paper. The Chinese composition questions at noon on the 7th will be popular every year... I will write at this time Memories really do trigger a lot of emotion.

　　I know that there is a book friend who is struggling in the examination room today. Here, I wish him best wishes.

　　Life does not end on the day you are admitted to university, nor does it end abruptly when you get a job offer.Geniuses are always very few. For most people, how to live a valuable and happy life as an ordinary person is the real issue.

　　Time is like water and years are like songs. I hope that every book friend who sees here can be filled with the things he likes and the people he likes.
