In mid-March, the northernmost state of the United States was still covered with thick white, and the forest was covered with silver.
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke were sitting on the sled, with the sound of the wind in their ears, and the surroundings were clean, they were running freely in the vast world with both body and mind.
In front of them, a group of specially trained dogs were running fast, exuding a sense of joy.
When it came to a stop, Yan Zheke, who was wearing a cute fluffy hat, was white all over, and had a pretty face, rolled her eyes and said with a hidden smile:
"It's so cute! But I like huskies more!"
"Husky?" Lou Cheng didn't dare to compliment the little fairy's aesthetics, and muttered, "Stupid, clumsy and stupid..."
Listening to him "slandering" Erha so much, Yan Zheke finally couldn't bear it anymore, covered her mouth with gloves, and laughed out loud.
"What's the matter?" Lou Cheng looked bewildered.
The girl turned her starry eyes halfway, looked at him with a half-smile, and emphasized emphatically:
"Stupid, stupid, and two, umm!"
After um, she let out a crisp laugh again, making Lou Cheng stunned for a moment, and asked back, "Can you tell me what the joke is?"
"It's nothing! You think too much~!" Yan Zheke replied with a "serious" expression, and turned to other things, "We have been here for several days, why can't we always see the aurora? Not to say, three nights in a row Try it, is there a 90% chance?"
She flattened her mouth and said aggrievedly: "Could it be that we are those ten percent poor children?"
"It's nothing, we only tried it for two nights." Lou Cheng stretched out his arms to embrace the little fairy, and walked with her along the way back.
Although the young couple arrived here for nearly five days and rented a cabin at the observation point, they didn't go there at first because of the weather. They didn't try until the weather improved.
"Yeah, do you think we can see it tonight?" Yan Zheke asked for confirmation.
Lou Cheng smiled and said:
"I signed up for a tour group, and a driver drove us to the places we were most likely to see. He is a local and has led many groups. He is very familiar with him. He must be very good, and the weather forecast is not bad."
"When did you report it?" Yan Zheke's dark and beautiful eyes were full of cuteness.
"I'm a strategy guide. After I didn't see the aurora twice in a row, I started to think about other ways. By the way, didn't I mention it to you before? Why do you look so confused?" Lou Cheng asked with a smile .
"I had so much fun that I forgot... Mmm, it must be like this!" Yan Zheke burst into a smile, like the most beautiful scenery in the vast snow field.
When Lou Cheng turned her head and looked forward, her expression gradually calmed down, as if she was worried and did not dare to indulge herself.
...
After dark, board the minibus.
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke found a place close to each other, chatted in low voices, and waited for other members of the group to gather.
This place belongs to the city, and there is still a signal. The young couple took their mobile phones wearing "warm clothes", and swiped interesting things from time to time.
Yan Zheke clicked into Loucheng's fan forum as a matter of course, and was a little sad and melancholy to see that this place had become deserted.
Since Orange posted that Weibo post in January, the forum has been lively for more than ten days, with some praying, cheering, provocative, and counterattacking, and so on. When entering the new year cycle, everyone becomes busy, without passion support, forums lacking new content and new expectations are slowly lost, and the number of posters and replyers is decreasing every day.
Some people persisted for a week, some persisted for a month, most people are not only interested in this hobby, after one goes up and down, the attention allocated will inevitably decrease.
"Aside from signing in and praying, I don't know what to post..." "Long night is coming" Yan Xiaoling "bowed her head and exhaled".
"Huan Fan" "clenched his fist and waved" said: "Xiao Changye, what are you worried about! There were only the two of us back then, wasn't it also very fulfilling?"
"But, but I was full of hope at that time, but now, now, I feel sad..." Yan Xiaoling "wowed and cried".
"Huan Fan" "stretched his arms to hug" and said: "I'm also sad...I don't know how many times I cried..."
"Hey, fucker, just act stupid, entertain everyone, and raise hope!" "Dragon King Unrivaled" replied with a "Nike Mouth" emoji.
…
Browsing down, seeing that compared with yesterday, the number of new posts is less than two-thirds of the home page, Yan Zheke pursed her lower lip, silently exited the forum, and did not share this matter with Lou Cheng.
When she reached out to play with the digital camera in the heavy heat preservation device, the last few members of the group arrived. The driver and the photographer on board explained a few words and started the journey.
There is no aurora in one place, and there are still no auroras in two places. After changing a few places suitable for observation, the driver stopped and said sorry:
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's cloud cover is thicker than expected, which has disappointed you. At the same time tomorrow, we will meet at the same place without extra payment. This is compensation for tonight."
"Seeing the aurora really needs fate..." Someone sighed, without blaming the driver, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke glanced at each other, both smiling wryly.
Returning to the city and getting out of the cart, a gust of cold wind blew and pierced the bone marrow.
"Ten percent really..." Yan Zheke pouted.
She covered her neck with a scarf, covered her face with a mask, and wrapped herself up like a cute little bear.
"There are still two days, don't worry." Lou Cheng comforted.
At this moment, he remembered the weather forecast he had checked before, and thought flashed: "It seems that it will get better in the middle of the night, why don't we drive to the cabin and wait?"
Looking at Yan Zheke's eyes, black and white are distinct, she pondered for a few seconds and said:
"OK!"
Even if I still haven't seen it, this is also a good memory I experienced with Chengzi.
In the middle of the night, the road was slippery and the wind was howling. Yan Zheke drove very carefully, and finally arrived at the observation camp safely and stayed in the cabin.
Warmth pervaded, they cuddled up and sat on the chair, looked out the window, chatted casually, and waited second by second.
Seeing the blackness getting darker and the time getting later, Yan Zheke stretched her waist and said to the building:
"Don't wait, try again tomorrow night! You are the one who needs to train in the morning!"
"Okay." Lou Cheng exhaled and stood up.
Just when the two were about to turn their heads, a touch of magical green appeared from the corner of their eyes at the same time. It burned from the sky, twisted and swayed, and was faintly visible.
"Aurora!" Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke looked at each other with joy, held hands without thinking, pushed open the door, rushed out, and ran to a place with a wider and more open view.
Running and stopping, I don't know how long it took, only the high and boundless cold sky remained in front of their eyes, and only the gorgeous aurora that did not exist in reality remained.
It is dreamy, magnificent, magical, beautiful, swaying, "burning", majestic and vast, full of eyes!
In front of this majestic, vast and fantastic scene in nature, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke only felt that they were so insignificant, and that their daily troubles were so insignificant. .
"It's so beautiful..." the girl exclaimed in a low voice.
Lou Cheng came back to his senses, took out his digital camera, and took a picture of this "natural dream".
After several shots in a row, he took another photo of the little fairy and the scene of the "Heavenly Court", and then stretched out his arms, engraving the heads of the two next to each other under the brilliant aurora.
At the end, Yan Zheke sighed in satisfaction:
"Our character is still good!"
While speaking, she looked at the location of the camp, and blurted out in astonishment:
"Have we run that far?"
Lou Cheng followed suit, chuckled and agreed:
"Yes, unconsciously."
His eyes flickered twice, he turned around, squatted down, and said with a smile:
"Ke Ke, come on, I'll carry you back!"
"No need, I'm not tired!" Yan Zheke shook her head in surprise, seeing that Lou Cheng's posture didn't change, she could only reluctantly lay down on the floor.
Supporting the bend of his legs, he stood up, and Lou Cheng walked forward creakingly on the snowy ground in the cold and windy night.
After walking about ten steps, she felt the stiffness of his body and the pause in his movements. Yan Zheke wanted to jump down to relieve her husband's burden, but she sensed Lou Cheng's persistence. Tighter, put your face on your shoulder, let the other party take you on a trek, without saying anything, without mentioning anything, no matter where the future is.
The journey was not too long, but it took Lou Cheng a while to stop and go back to the cabin. His vest was already soaked in cold sweat from various factors.
After closing the door and looking at the outside world, Yan Zheke said happily:
"This trip is complete!"
"Yes." Lou Cheng sighed with emotion.
At this moment, the girl turned around, stared at him with her beautiful eyes, bit her lower lip lightly and said:
"Chengzi, do you have something to tell me?"
"Ah?" Lou Cheng didn't know what expression to make.
"From the end of February to the few days of traveling, you have been like that emoji from time to time, wanting to speak and then stopping, stopping and then wanting, wanting to stop and then talking!" The briskness ended here, Yan Zheke pursed her lips Said, "Say it, I can bear it!"
Before Lou Cheng could answer, she added viciously:
"If something is not worthy of me now, it goes without saying!"
Lou Cheng half sighed half laughed and said:
"How could it be this..."
Yan Zheke was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out:
"You really have something to tell me..."
Lou Cheng looked at the deep night outside, turned his head to look at the little fairy, and nodded slightly:
"Ok."
