Chapter 181 No Call from Family
What kind of experience is it like to run on the top of the mountain to watch meteors in winter?It's my first experience, so nervous.

Before going out, Xiao Hengyan inspected her clothes from head to toe, frowning tightly.

"If you wear too little, add more coats."

Xiao Xingxing has already put on the warmest down jacket, and now standing at home, his cheeks are flushed with heat: "I think it is already very warm... This down jacket was bought by my mother, it is very warm."

"..." Xiao Hengyan didn't speak, stared at her empty neck, sighed, and wrapped the scarf around his neck around her, it's just that he was not proficient at doing this kind of thing for the first time, and almost wrapped her up completely Not angry.

The scarf with a clear smell hid half of her face, she managed to peel off the excess fabric from her face, and saw Xiao Hengyan looking at her with a faint smile on his face, that The snickering face made her a little annoyed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing."

He quickly restrained his smile, and finally put a hat on her, and went out to drive.

Although it is said to be a nearby mountain, it takes about four to ten minutes to drive. When they drove to the foot of the mountain, it was already eleven o'clock, but the mountain was full of cars.It seems that everyone came to watch the shooting star after seeing the news.

Looking at the people around carrying big bags up the mountain, it seems that they plan to camp overnight on the top of the mountain.However, the two of them came here with only two backpacks, and with the cold wind blowing, Xiao Xingxing followed behind his brother and started the mountain climbing activity after a long absence.

This mountain is actually not too high, and the road is much easier after the stairs are built.But Xiao Xingxing was a useless and weak man, he was out of breath just halfway through the walk, half of his exposed face was flushed red by the cold wind, and his bangs were messily raised on his forehead.

Xiao Hengyan looked back at her, the girl was shrunk in the bloated down jacket, trembling on crutches, crawling slowly like a little turtle.With her speed, it is estimated that the meteor shower will be over by the time she climbs up.

Helpless, Xiao Hengyan had no choice but to stop and wait for her for a while, then handed her the thermos cup: "Can you still crawl?"

"...It's, it's okay." The voice didn't sound very good, and with the sound of the wind, it felt like he was going to die in the next second.Xiao Xingxing leaned against the tree trunk and took a sip of water, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, "I can hold on for a while..."

"..."

Xiao Hengyan looked at her with suspicion.He thought for a few seconds, turned the backpack on his back to the front, and said, "I'll carry you up."

He squatted down directly in front of her, his broad shoulders looking very reliable.This figure she had been chasing since she was a child would not only stop and wait for her, but was even willing to take her with her—Xiao Xingxing felt a little sour in his eyes for a moment, holding the hem of his clothes, he dared not go forward.

"I... can really walk by myself..."

"Don't waste... Cough, don't waste time, the fastest way is for me to carry you up now, if it's later, I won't see the most exciting meteor shower."

He didn't turn his head, and his voice blew into her ears along the cold wind, but it wasn't as cold as the cold wind.

"What's more, I pulled you here, and I have to take this responsibility."

"Come up quickly."

"..."

Another shooting star streaked across the night sky, leaving behind scattered and misty stardust and the wishes of all those who were watching the shooting star under the sky.

Maybe Meteor Shower really has the magical power to make wishes come true, and her childhood wish finally came true after being late for so many years.

"..." She stepped forward and lay on her brother's back.Although her brother doesn't look particularly strong, he still possesses the strength that an adult male should have. Even with two backpacks on his back, every step he takes is so steady and powerful.

"elder brother."

The girl whispered behind his ear, lightly fluttering and somewhat muffled, being disturbed by the night wind, Xiao Hengyan didn't hear the crying in it.

"what?"

"Actually, I... have always wanted to be like you. It doesn't matter if you study sports well, you can easily get into the first place in your grade, and finally get into a good university—but I really can't do it. Is it because of this, parents? I don’t like me...you, you too—”

"..." Xiao Hengyan heard the broken thoughts behind him. He understood that these were all the worries and grievances that his sister had hidden for so many years, but because no one had ever cared about it, and neither did he, so until now, in this unknown place, In the dream that knew whether it was true or not, I finally heard these words.

"Brother, do you also think that I have disgraced you?"

"No, I don't think you... are having a hard time."

As the steps passed step by step, his voice was inevitably mixed with gasps: "I just... don't know what to do."

School and tutoring taught him a lot of knowledge, but no one taught him how to care for and love a person. As he grew older, his time began to be crowded with a large number of courses, and his personality was gradually ruthless and severe by his father. Influenced by the lessons he learned and the pressure exerted by his mother, he really seems to have no extra energy to focus on others.

They are all the same in this family, never letting their emotions out.

"I've been... not taking your feelings into account, I'm sorry. Xing Xing, can you forgive me?"

"Why..." The girl buried her face in his back, her voice was vague, "If it could be earlier..."

"Star?"

"It's too late...I've already..."

The rest of the words were not finished, and the top of the mountain in front had already burst into a shout of incomparable surprise: "Look! It's really coming! Meteor shower!"

They looked up to the sky together, and the starlight falling from the universe flashed across the night at an extremely fast speed, breaking the silence of the world, and the dazzling and bright broken light shuttled through it like silver threads all over the sky, causing the dark clouds to disperse , the moonlight appeared from behind the clouds, dyeing the boundless night with an elegant brilliance like flowing water ripples.

Xiao Hengyan quickly climbed to the top of the mountain with her on his back, watching this fireworks display from nature at a closer distance, how spectacular and exciting it was.

This is the first and last meteor shower.The New Year’s Eve bell has already sounded. Looking from the top of the mountain to the brightly lit city in the distance, one after another firework soars to the sky, and then blooms——

"Happy New Year!!"

The surrounding crowd congratulated and celebrated each other, but this joy failed to pass on to Xiao Xingxing.

Because no matter how lively and warm the scene in front of her was, she understood it clearly.

All this is but an illusion.

...

The New Year's Eve event ended in this meteor shower and fireworks.The turbulent tide in my heart gradually subsided as the meteor shower disappeared.The ending after a grand banquet is always disappointing, not to mention she cried while watching the fireworks and meteor shower for no reason.

Xiao Hengyan didn't know why she was crying, so he could only silently block other people's sight for her, and then handed her a tissue. Finally, seeing that she was tired and drowsy from crying, he resignedly carried her down the mountain.

The breathing of the girl on his back gradually stabilized. Listening to her breathing, Xiao Hengyan slowed down deliberately as he watched the stairs continuously extending down one step at a time.

There are sighs dissipated in the wind, submerged in the boundless night.

"Where are you now……"

"Come back soon."
