Chapter 173 Aurora Display
Chapter 173 Aurora Display
"I promised tomorin, right? A lifelong band is no joke!"
Aine spoke very seriously and a little angrily—seriously out of respect for her promise, and annoyed that Deng dared to say such doubtful words about herself.
"Wow...anon-chan, you're so nice!"
Anon-chan... etc. It's quite rare for people to give me nicknames. Although Deng has called me "Anon-chan" a few times before, that was in front of a lot of people after all.
It seemed like this was the first time that he addressed himself like this in a situation where only two of us were present, not to mention that Tomorin clung to him like a little penguin looking for its mother - soft and with a faint scent of milk, it was so comfortable for Tomorin to hold him!
"Hehehe..." Aine laughed for a while, but she still remembered her mission - to trick Tomorin outside!
"Tomorin, shall we go stargazing?"
Deng's associative ability always becomes extremely rich at such times - when he hears the word "stars", he thinks of the Astronomy Department, and thinks of the report being rejected, and thinks that the doctor doesn't like him for the rest of his life, and all his thoughts are completely invalidated.
Deng slowly loosened his hand and pulled Ain to his room. Ain sat on the edge of the bed, while Deng knelt on his bed, fiddling with a clear yellow crystal with a few dark spots in his eyes.
"Fireworks—that's the name of this crystal," Deng said word by word, so slowly that Aiyin didn't know what to do except to listen patiently.
"The doctor gave it to me. When we first met, he asked me to name it - I wrote a song with the same name."
A look of reminiscence began to flicker in Deng's eyes. Although Keailin listened in agreement, she was thinking in her heart: This happened only a few months ago! And you're only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl! Why are you reminiscing about the past like an old man or woman?
"Yeah, but...never mind, tomorin, listen to me!"
I originally wanted to trick Deng out with gentle persuasion, but now it seems that I either have to listen to Deng rambling for half an hour and fail to complete the five-minute task given by Ke-chan, or I just blow myself up and take Tomorin out by force!
Deng was a little sad that his train of thought was interrupted, but he still calmed down and listened to Aine’s words with a serious expression. Well, not really honestly, Deng’s eyes moved back and forth between Shuijing and Aine’s face.
tomorin, if you like playing with crystals, just play with them, as long as you listen carefully!
"This morning, I forgot to tell Deng something—"
Taking a deep breath, Aine’s gaze and Deng’s eyes were now closely intertwined.
"Ke-chan, please tell Deng that he didn't approve Tomorin's report because he had a serious reason for not approving Tomorin's report! But Ke-chan is too busy to find time to see you, so he wants you to go to the infirmary to find him - that's what's going on!"
Now the case is solved - it turns out that it’s not that the doctor doesn’t like me anymore, but that Aine just accidentally forgot something!
Deng suddenly became visibly happy - Aine couldn't be lying, although she didn't know why, but she didn't lie to herself!
"So that's how it is... Thank you, Aine. I almost misunderstood the doctor!"
Didn't Tomorin already misunderstand Ko-chan? He just looked like he was going to put the final nail in the coffin of Ko-chan's life. I can't even imagine what Tomorin will do after he finishes saying those words!
But - phew...that was a close call.
Aine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly put on a cheerful expression, hugged Deng's shoulders, and said enthusiastically, "So can we go see the stars, Tomorin?"
“Eh… Aine doesn’t want to look at the stars, right?”
Does Tomorin's radio-wave system have a built-in lie detector in his brain? How do you know that I don't actually want to look at the stars right now!
But since Deng had already said this, she couldn’t just casually deny it and pretend she hadn’t heard it. Aine could only look at Deng’s clear, deer-like eyes and said helplessly:
"Actually, it was Ke-chan who said that there will be a super spectacular night sky tonight!"
No way, it's been cloudy all day today. I could only see the dark clouds in the sky when it got a little light. It looks like it's going to rain soon.
But in order to complete Ke-chan's mission... this is a white lie!
"Hey hey hey, really?"
Deng was obviously excited all of a sudden. He jumped off the bed and bent down to crawl under the bed to look for something.
Tomorin, can you wait for me to lift my feet before crawling down to look for something? I just ran here, and my feet are all sweaty... But it's a good opportunity, I can take this opportunity to contact Ke-chan!
Aine quietly took out her phone from the pocket of her skirt and opened the LINE interface as quietly as possible... No signal?
Isn't it the beginning of the month? My phone bill is overdue.
"Aine—we found it! Let's go out to the balcony and look at the stars!"
Deng crawled out from under the bed in a somewhat embarrassed manner, his head and face covered with dust, carrying a package of unknown instruments sealed with oil paper tucked under his arm. He struggled to grab Aine's ankles wrapped in white woolen socks and climbed up with great effort.
"Ah...Tomorin, what is this?"
"telescope!"
Deng responded briefly, then quickly vacated the chair in front of the desk and reassembled the disassembled telescope.
Aiyin thought that since she couldn't help anyway, she decided to check if it was raining outside and went to the balcony alone.
"...Hey, tomorin," Aine called softly a few moments later, causing Deng to look up in surprise. "Come and see, you don't need a telescope."
“What did Aine say… It’s so beautiful.”
The aurora - it's absolutely nothing compared to the fake aurora created by special effects in a planetarium.
The green color like lake water is interwoven with the light blue as smooth as silk and the bright blue as shiny as gems. It spreads like a rising tide along the trajectory of the cloud line, and plummets three thousand feet.
The neighbors outside the window were all whispering in surprise at this moment. The unprecedented beautiful scenery of Tokyo shocked everyone's heart - at least this beautiful scenery currently belongs only to the people in Tokyo.
The network was disconnected, and even the power switches of several households were inexplicably affected and fused - this was the case in Deng's home. Nearly ten lights in the house dimmed with a "swish", and the faint blue color that had been gradually dimming the bulbs due to self-induction quickly disappeared.
But no one cares - is there any sight more breathtaking than the aurora?
Aine subconsciously wanted to take a photo as a souvenir, but accidentally found the message that Kashiwa Miki sent her before the network was disconnected.
[This is my gift to Deng—Please, Aine, tell Deng this. Maybe I’m the only one in the world who can predict this aurora~]
"tomorin."
"Hmm? What happened to Aine?"
The starlight was dim, and only each other's eyes were bright in Tou and Aine's eyes.
"Does it look good?"
“Beautiful—but precious.”
"Because gifts are precious—this is a gift from Ke-chan to Tomorin…Tomorin and me."
Aine smiled somewhat unwillingly, but the aurora was beautiful and she didn’t see the lights… maybe she didn’t care.
Because I want to enjoy the beauty of this moment and engrave it in my mind for the rest of my life - because this is a gift from the doctor.
