As night deepened, radiant streaks of light slashed across the sky — the Perseid teor shower had arrived, marking its debut performance in the northern hemisphere.
At first, there were only one or two, but gradually, more and more teors wove through the sky like fireworks, bursting forth in their most dazzling monts.
Witnessing this grand and splendid spectacle, Xia Nuo and Fang You couldn't help but sit up from the flat expanse of lawn, craning their necks to gaze up at the glittering starry sky.
By now the sky had darkened, but the bright campfire revealed that there were quite a few astronomy enthusiasts nearby, their cheers rising and falling in waves. Fang You, too, was caught up in this excited atmosphere, staring at the brilliant Milky Way. Continue reading at empire
As ti passed, the frequency of the teors increased, arriving from different directions until, at last, they fell like rain with trailing tails streaking across the firmant.
This wasn't being inside any ga fantasy, nor was it so magical fantasy world; it was a real scene observable with the naked eye!
In the midst of the twinkling stars, Fang You didn't feel the sorrow of human insignificance but rather a sensation of knowledge rapidly flooding into his mind, giving rise to an unprecedented sense of etherealness spreading within his heart.
Power, status, wealth, fa, the aning of life, value, anything nebulous — in the face of this macroscopic grandeur constructed by the universe, seed to lose their importance.
Once this sense of existential void arose in Fang You's mind, the breathtaking starry sky before him began to exude a special kind of Magic Power, enticing Fang You to unconsciously raise his hand, attempting to touch that piece of the celestial do.
[You have felt a stir in your soul, knowledge energy 300]
At the distant end of the galaxy, it seed as if sothing was calling him.
Even the whispering in his ears beca clearer and clearer.
The voice was made up of two overlaid syllables, as if he had been hearing them since infancy...
With the return of his spiritual soul, the murmuring call beca even clearer until it was a real presence beside his ear —
"You You!"
Ah, so it was Nuo Nuo calling !
Then it's all good!
Xia Nuo, leaning on Fang You's elbow, said earnestly,
"You You, You You, don't just keep looking, rember to make a wish!"
With that, Xia Nuo entwined her arm with Fang You's, hand on hip, "Just for the record, the wish I made was to hope that we can still go to all sorts of places together in the future and see lots of really beautiful scenery!"
"Dummy, how can your wish co true if you say it out loud?"
Facing Fang You's head-knocking tactics, Xia Nuo said unhurriedly, "Wishing upon a teor is not the sa as making a birthday wish, of course, you have to say it out loud!"
"Common sense... Is that so?"
This indeed touched upon Fang You's area of ignorance; he couldn't confirm it.
"That's the way it is!"
Xia Nuo, holding Fang You's arm, her eyes watery and bright, implored, "You really should make a proper wish to the teor shower now! What is your wish?"
After a mont of hesitation, Fang You looked up at the starry sky where teors were showering down and, after contemplating for a while, gave his answer.
"Well, then I'll make the sa wish."
"I hope we can still go to all sorts of places together in the future and see lots of really beautiful scenery."
Hearing Fang You's wish, Xia Nuo suddenly felt curious, "Isn't it a waste for two people to make the sa wish?"
"Not at all, since this wish requires the other person to work towards it together, and it's the sa for you."
"Don't you have another wish that you really want to co true?"
"Everything else one desires can be achieved on his own."
"Then, can you make yourself have another sister just like that?"
Xia Nuo shook his head, presenting Fang You with a soul-searching question:
"That… that's not for to decide, either. My efforts are useless."
"See, there are still so many things you just can't do by yourself."
Xia Nuo complained, "But you know, our You You doesn't like to express his own thoughts."
"But that's okay, after all, I've already grown up."
Xia Nuo took Fang You's hand, "So whatever wishes you have, you can whisper them to , no matter how difficult, I will help you fulfill them."
"I—"
Fang You was about to speak, but Xia Nuo interrupted him.
"Okay, okay, don't be so formal with ..."
She stepped forward, holding Fang You's hands, gently swaying them, and spoke the most trustworthy words, "After all, we are best friends, aren't we!"
Just as Xia Nuo's voice had fallen, right across from her, on the northwestern horizon behind Fang You, a bright and huge teor streaked across the sky.
Unlike the previous dark green cot tails, it was a streak of bluish-purple light, even brighter and more vivid. And it didn't just trace a path across the do of stars and end, but with its long tail, it appeared from the west and kept moving toward the east.
Then, it suddenly burst into a dazzling explosion in the sky, brightening the entire starfield so intensely it was like dayti, before continuing to fall towards the other end of the horizon.
People cheered at this magnificent scene, "Wow! That's a fire teor! You You, look quickly!"
Xia Nuo shouted for Fang You to observe it quickly.
anwhile, as the fire teor neared the end of the horizon in the sky, it suddenly burst into a brilliant purple light once more, lighting up the night sky again.
"How about it, You You, isn't it beautiful?"
Xia Nuo's voice was still in Fang You's ear, but at this mont, although he could clearly discern Xia Nuo's voice, his consciousness had beco sowhat hazy.
A fire teor is a natural astronomical event that occurs when a teoroid with a diater of 1 ter or greater enters the Earth's atmosphere at high speed. Due to the intense friction between the teoroid and the atmosphere, its surface temperature rises sharply, causing the teoroid to start burning and ablate, resulting in an extrely bright light.
This process makes the fire teor appear like a shining fire dragon in the night sky, often with such high brightness, thus presenting this magnificent spectacle before our eyes.
However, at this point, Fang You was no longer able to concentrate on appreciating the splendor of the teor shower.
Nuo Nuo's voice still echoed in his ears.
At the sa ti, Fang You tightened his grip on Xia Nuo's hand even more.
Although it's quite uncomfortable to feel one's innermost being scrutinized, those examined inner thoughts seed impossible to ignore…
