In the middle of March, the northernmost state of the United States was still covered in thick white, and the forest was covered in silver.
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke sat on the sleigh, the wind raging in their ears. Their surroundings were clean and white, and they were running freely in the vast world.
In front of them, a group of specially trained dogs were running quickly, giving off a cheerful atmosphere.
When he stopped, Yan Zheke, who was wearing a cute plush hat, was dressed in white, and had a beautiful face, said with a smile in her eyes,
"So cute! But I like Huskies more! "
"Huskies?" Lou Cheng didn't dare to compliment his little fairy's taste. He muttered, "Stupid, stupid, and dumb …"
Hearing him slander Huskies, Yan Zheke couldn't help but laugh out loud with her gloves covering her mouth.
"What's wrong?" Lou Cheng was confused.
The girl's eyes turned and looked at him with a faint smile. She emphasized each word,
"Stupid, stupid, and dumb, yeah!"
After that, she let out a crisp laugh again, which made Lou Cheng stunned. He opened his mouth and asked, "Can you tell me what the joke is?"
"Nothing! You're thinking too much! " Yan Zheke replied with a "serious" expression and changed the topic. "We've been here for a few days. Why haven't we seen the aurora yet? Didn't they say that if we try for three consecutive nights, we have a 90% chance of seeing it? "
She pouted and said with grievance, "Are we the pitiful 10% of the children?"
"No, we've only tried for two nights." Lou Cheng held his little fairy and walked with her on the way back.
Although the couple had been here for almost five days and rented a cabin at the observation point, they didn't go there at first because of the bad weather. They waited until the weather improved before they tried again.
"Yeah, do you think we'll see it tonight?" Yan Zheke asked for confirmation.
Lou Cheng smiled and said,
"I signed up for a tour group. A driver will take us to the most likely place to see it. He's a local and has led many tour groups before. He's familiar with the place. And the weather forecast doesn't have bad news."
"When did you sign up?" Yan Zheke's dark and beautiful eyes were full of adorableness.
"I'm someone who has made guides before. After failing to see the Aurora twice in a row, I started to think of other ways. Oh right, didn't I mention this to you before? Why do you look so lost? "Lou Cheng laughed and asked.
"I was having so much fun that I forgot … Yes, yes, that must be it!" Yan Zheke beamed like the most beautiful scenery in the boundless snow.
When Lou Cheng turned his head and looked ahead, her expression gradually changed. She seemed to be worried about him and didn't dare to indulge in her emotions.
…
At night, in the minibus.
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke found a place close to each other and chatted in low voices while waiting for the rest of the group to gather.
This was a city, so there was still signal. The couple was holding their phones, which were covered in "thermal clothes," and browsing interesting things from time to time.
Out of habit, Yan Zheke clicked into Lou Cheng's fan forum. She was sad and melancholy to see that the forum had become deserted.
Ever since Cheng posted that Weibo in January, the forum had been bustling with activity for more than ten days. Some were praying for blessings, some were cheering, some were provoking, and some were making counterattacks. There were so many kinds of posts. When it came to the Chinese New Year, everyone became busy. Without the support of passion, the forum, which lacked new content and expectations, gradually lost its popularity. The number of posters and replies decreased day by day.
Some persisted for a week, some persisted for a month. Most people had more than one hobby. After a while, the attention on the forum decreased.
"I don't know what to post except for signing in and praying … [Eternal Nightfall emoji]" Yan Xiaoling lowered her head and sighed.
"Little Nightfall, what are you worried about? [Clenching and dancing expression]" Brahman said. It was just the two of us back then. Wasn't it very fulfilling? "
"But, but at that time, I was full of hope. Now, now, I'm sad … [Wah]" Yan Xiaoling burst into tears.
"I'm sad too … I don't know how many times I've cried …" Brahman said.
"Sigh, Cao Zi, just play dumb. Entertain everyone and raise their hopes!" Unparalleled Dragon King replied with a [Nike mouth emoji].
…
Yan Zheke continued to browse. Compared to yesterday, the number of new posts was less than two thirds of the main page. She pursed her lips and silently exited the forum. She didn't share this matter with Lou Cheng.
While she was fiddling with the digital camera in the various thermal devices, the last few members of the group arrived. The driver and the cameraman said a few words and started the journey.
There was no aurora in one place. There were two places where they still couldn't see it. After changing to a few suitable places for observation, the driver stopped and said apologetically,
"Ladies and gentlemen, the clouds tonight are thicker than expected. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Tomorrow at the same time, we'll meet at the same place. No extra payment. This is my compensation for tonight."
"It takes fate to see the aurora …" Someone sighed and didn't blame the driver. Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
After returning to the city and getting off the bus, a cold wind blew, piercing into their bones.
"It's really ten percent now …" Yan Zheke pouted.
She wrapped herself up like a cute bear with a scarf around her neck and a mask covering her face.
"There are two more days. Don't worry." Lou Cheng comforted her.
Just then, he remembered the weather forecast he had checked. A thought flashed through his mind. "It seems to be getting better at midnight. Why don't we drive to the cabin and wait there?"
Yan Zheke looked up, her eyes clear. She pondered for a few seconds and said,
"Okay!"
Even if they still couldn't see it, it was still a good memory to share with Cheng.
The road was slippery and the wind was howling. Yan Zheke drove carefully and finally arrived at the observation camp safely. She stayed in the cabin.
Warmth filled the air. They snuggled in the chair and looked out of the window. They chatted casually and waited for the time to come.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and it was getting late, Yan Zheke stretched herself and said to Lou Cheng,
"We're not waiting. We'll try again tomorrow night! You're the one who needs to train in the morning! "
"Okay." Lou Cheng exhaled and stood up.
Just as they were about to turn their heads, they caught a glimpse of magical green from the corner of their eyes. It was burning in the sky, twisting and swaying faintly.
"Aurora!" Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke looked at each other with joy in their eyes. Without thinking, they held hands, pushed open the door, and rushed out to a wider and more open place.
They ran and stopped. After an unknown amount of time, all they could see was the vast and boundless cold sky and the brilliant aurora that didn't seem to exist in reality.
It was dreamy, magnificent, magical, beautiful, swaying, burning, majestic, beautiful, swaying, burning, majestic, and vast!
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke felt that they were so insignificant in front of the majestic and fantastical scene of the natural world. They felt that their daily troubles were so insignificant. Their bodies and minds settled down and were not stained with dust. It was as if the word "Confrontation" was written on them.
"It's so beautiful …" the girl exclaimed softly.
Lou Cheng came back to his senses, took out his digital camera, and took a picture of this natural dreamscape.
After taking a few more pictures, he took a group photo of his little fairy and the scene of the Heavenly Court. Then he extended his arm and engraved their heads together under the brilliant aurora.
At the end, Yan Zheke sighed with satisfaction,
"We're pretty lucky!"
As she spoke, she looked towards the campsite and blurted out in shock,
"We ran that far?"
Lou Cheng followed her gaze and chuckled in agreement,
"Yeah, unknowingly."
His eyes twinkled. He turned around, squatted down, and said with a smile,
"Ke, come, I'll carry you back!"
"It's okay, I'm not tired!" Yan Zheke shook her head in surprise. Seeing that Lou Cheng didn't change his posture, she had no choice but to climb onto him.
She supported her knees and stood up. In the cold night, Lou Cheng stepped on the snow, creaking as he walked in the cold wind.
After ten steps, Yan Zheke felt the stiffness of his body and the pause of his movements. She wanted to jump down and lighten her husband's burden, but she sensed Lou Cheng's insistence. She moved her eyes and leaned closer to him, pressing her face against his shoulder. She didn't say anything, didn't mention anything, and didn't care what the future held.
The journey wasn't too long, but Lou Cheng walked and stopped. After a while, they finally returned to the cabin. His back was soaked in cold sweat from various factors.
Closing the door, Yan Zheke looked at the outside world and said happily,
"This trip is perfect!"
"Yeah." Lou Cheng also sighed with emotion.
At this moment, the girl turned around and stared at him with her beautiful eyes. She bit her lower lip and said,
"Cheng, do you have something to tell me?"
"Huh?" Lou Cheng didn't know what expression to make.
"Since the end of February, until the last few days of our trip, you've been like that emoji pack. You want to say something, but you don't. You want to say something, but you want to say something, but you want to say something, but you want to say something, but you want to say it again!"
Before Lou Cheng answered, she added fiercely,
"If you're saying that you're not good enough for me now, then don't say it!"
Lou Cheng sighed and laughed at the same time.
"How could it be this …"
Yan Zheke was stunned and blurted out,
"You really have something to tell me …"
Lou Cheng looked at the dark night outside and turned back to look at his little fairy. He nodded slightly,
"Yes."
