Love Comes After Learning

"Murousuer, when we leave the woods later, we may still see Bisuyi and Bisuer. The combination of these four forms an autumn quadrilateral..."

"It's almost December, and you can still see the autumn quadrangle..."

"Because it's the "prosperous period" of the winter starry sky, probably starting from late October..."

Along the way, Guqiao Wennai happily shared knowledge about the stars.

She was talking happily, and the two of them listened attentively. The time and journey seemed to be blurred in memory, and only her pleasant voice remained clearly.

Unknowingly, the gap between the trees becomes wider and wider, and the branches covering the zenith are gradually thinned out.

"strangeness……"

Guqiao Wennai suddenly stopped explaining, and sniffed the air with some doubts, as if he smelled something different from the smell of rotten leaves.

Looking toward the end of the road, several cedar trees are staggered to form the entrance of the secret base: after that, a faint light flickers among the branches and leaves, like a treasure hidden in the woods.

Rizu also cast her gaze over there, her round eyes widened in surprise.Then, like a moth chasing a light source, she subconsciously quickened her pace and walked towards the entrance.

The other two hurriedly followed, and soon came to the end of the road, passed through the fir trees, and stepped into the space behind——

"here it is……"

Guqiao Wennai stopped abruptly, his eyes widened in astonishment, his eyes froze, and he looked straight at the scenery that suddenly unfolded ahead.

She even let go of Asada's hand unconsciously, and stood there blankly, murmuring inadvertently.

"There are two pieces, the starry sky..."

this moment.

The stars in the sky were freed from the shackles of the branches and leaves, the dark clouds dispersed to reveal a night, and the beauty of silver light poured down to the ground.

The stars on the ground are rippling with the water waves, and the clear lake surface is wrinkled by the wind, making the bright stars sway and dance happily.

Whether in the sky or on the ground, these lights are all stars.

Not only that……

Asada turned his head to look, the girl's upturned eyes were full of light, and the brown-black pupils were brighter than ever.

It was as if the most dazzling star in the night was set in her eyes.

He couldn't help smiling, turned his gaze to the lake about the size of a gymnasium again, and spoke softly.

"This is a hidden scenic spot that is not open to students. Because of the excellent view and the clear water of the lake, as long as the weather is good, you can see the beautiful scenery of the sky and the earth, and the stars shine together, so the hotel calls it [Lake of Stars] .”

"Through the great help of the Thorn Society, we can monopolize this place today. Although it can't be too long, let's sit back and enjoy the scenery.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"There are only two things in the world that are worthy of our deep admiration, one is the brilliant starry sky above our heads, and the other is the lofty moral law in our hearts. — Kant

The three of them sat down on the grass full of stars, surrounded by insects and birds, filled with the unique gentleness and tranquility of nature.

The breeze engulfed the moisture on the face, and the coolness of the night was refreshing.

The upper and lower starry skies are connected together, as if the stars of the entire universe are gathered here.

Asada took a deep breath, propped his hands on the wet grass, and regardless of the two girls beside him who were immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of him, he sighed.

"I've only seen such an extremely beautiful starry sky in books or on TV."

The two turned their gazes to him, a little surprised.

"I know the quadrilateral in autumn, and the big ellipse in winter. I heard that if you are lucky, you can see the Leonid meteor shower, right? In the video, meteors fall from the sky. Many people say it is beautiful, but I don't think it is shocking enough. In the end, I fast forward Finished watching."

He said.

"However, even if the correct shape and color can be known through the data, the size alone cannot be imagined."

Asada Shinichi leaned his upper body back, enjoying the feeling of being shrouded in starlight, the corners of his mouth could not help but bend slightly.

The starry sky in front of him was much larger than he imagined.

The dazzling starry sky is like snow falling from the sky, but it doesn't feel the coldness it deserves.

Even if there is no meteor shower, even if it just hangs quietly above the night, such a beautiful scenery still shocks him.

"Wen Nai, what you like...is this kind of starry sky?"

"……me?"

Facing his side face in a daze, Guqiao Wennai couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

Then, slowly lowering his eyes, he smiled helplessly.

"Yeah... I like it."

"I, like it the most!"

Even if I once thought about giving up, until now, it is still my favorite thing and the last thing I want to let go.

Really...

It's really great to be able to persist until now.

And from now until the distant future... She wants to continue to maintain this liking.

"call……"

Fumino Guqiao turned his face away, and quietly wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

She remembered that she didn't tell Asada about liking Xingkong, but it didn't matter what the reason was.

Maybe he discovered it himself, or maybe Xiao Lizhu told him.

But for Fumino Guqiao at this moment, the surprise he gave her had already moved her to the point where she didn't have the heart to think about those unnecessary things.

——The starry sky tonight is not only particularly beautiful.

"Hey, let me tell you a story, do you want to hear it?"

She also put her hands behind her back, revived her cheerful smile, and stared at the two starry skies ahead.

Asada and Rizu looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and put on a posture of listening attentively.

Therefore, Fumino Guqiao spoke slowly, letting the gentle voice flow around in the wind.

"My mother likes the stars very much. Even if she is not in good health, she often takes me to watch the starry sky on the rooftop all night. Even if my father scolds me, I will never change."

"Perhaps because of her relationship, I fell in love with the starry sky without knowing it. I liked its beauty, its brilliance, and those wonderful stories."

"I was not very literate at that time, and I couldn't understand many books about the stars. I always clamored for my mother to explain it to me, and then immersed myself in the magnificent and romantic star legends."

"My mother died of illness when I was about seven years old."

"My father started to distance me after my mother died, and our relationship became very rigid. So since then, I have no one to go to the stars with me, and no one to explain difficult books to me."

"I like the stars, but the stars will not be with me, they are too far away... Looking back now, such a childhood is really lonely."

She said softly, but there was no sadness on her face, just a nostalgic smile.

"Maybe I thought of this beforehand? My mother told me this before she left——

"Mom, I won't disappear.I will turn into a star as written in the book, watching you in the sky all the time. 』

"So, Fumino...""

Fumino Guqiao stretched out his hand, and the fingers were filled with soft starlight.

"'On a starry night, find me'."

As the voice fell softly, Guqiao Wennai smiled a little embarrassedly, but his eyes were calm.

"It is because of this sentence that I plan to engage in astronomy-related work. I hope that one day I can find the star that my mother turned into."

"Hey hey... isn't it a little childish?"

"would not!"

Ogata Ritzu shook her head vigorously, staring at her seriously across Asada.

"Although I said it once before, I still want to say... Wen Nai, your dream is not childish at all, it is much greater than mine!"

Guqiao Fumino blinked, smiled and said, "Well, thank you, Xiao Lizhu."

"Have you found the star that belongs to your mother..."

Asada's murmur came from the side, she turned her head in surprise, and saw him pinching his chin, serious in thought.

"In this case, there are two more feasible methods... one is to find stars that have not been discovered by anyone and make breakthrough research progress, and the other is to buy the naming rights of stars, but the ones with higher visibility than teachers have not been bought long ago Well, the price is scary... No, money is not a problem, as long as you can buy it and name it as Wen Nai's mother, Wen Nai's dream can come true..."

"Hey, what are you thinking!"

Guqiao Wennai patted him dumbfounded, and he looked at her strangely as if he had just come to his senses.

"A way to live out your dreams."

"That's too realistic!"

"Okay, then let me put it another way." Asada Shinichi coughed twice, holding the hand she had withdrawn from mid-air with his palm, and looking directly into her eyes affectionately.

"Whether you are young or not, I will use my methods to support your dreams. So don't be afraid, Wen Nai, just go straight ahead!"

"It's you who scares me! What you said is very touching, so give me a good look at the atmosphere before talking!"

Guqiao Fumino complained one after another, her flushed cheeks were clearly illuminated by the stars, but she turned her face away as if nothing had happened in the thick night.

"Well, it's just that I'm really happy... Thank you both very much."

The stars are far away from us, but they are very close to us.

Fumino Guqiao stared at the starry sky in the pool, and couldn't help chuckling.

"Especially Asada-kun, I specially prepared this surprise... Do you want to apologize for what happened on the Ferris wheel? Or do you simply want me to 'be happy and return to my usual smile'?"

Hearing her slightly teasing tone, Asada's expression suddenly sank.

"Can I say... both?"

As expected, Fumino sighed heavily, broke free from his hand, and looked over him at Ogata Rizu.

"So, Lizhu, have you forgiven him?"

Ogata Rizu also smiled.
