Having accomplished a long-cherished task, Shi Jinzhe returned to his original world. Due to excessive blood loss, he slept for three days and could not be woken up.

Feeling bored, Shekh asked the driver to take him to the zoo.

The driver was very capable, accompanying us throughout the trip and communicating with the park in advance. However, due to the suddenness of Shehti's collapse, the reptile house could only be closed that day.

Shekh didn't care; she was just going to see the reptile house anyway.

The beautiful ink-colored reticulated python lay in the water, the two snakes staring at each other for a long time, neither moving.

After watching for a while, Sheikh leaned closer and asked through the glass, "Have you ever ridden a Ferris wheel?"

The reticulated python inside the glass turned around and left.

Seeing that she had hidden in a blind spot, Shekh looked from another angle, but unfortunately the snake was a little afraid of her and ran away.

She spent two hours in the reptile house, and surprisingly, not a single snake was willing to listen to her share her troubles.

Shekh propped himself up on his arm, rested his chin on his hand, and sighed softly.

I am bored.

"Why are you sighing?"

Shekh turned around and saw Shi Jinzhe walking in from outside, still looking tired.

"I thought you were going to sleep forever."

"I woke up as soon as you left," Shi Jinzhe said, blocking a yawn. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

“You were sleeping like you were dead. Those people, seeing that you didn’t go out, thought I was trying to murder you for your money.” Shekh recounted what he had overheard. “Two of them even imagined how I would commit the crime.”

“…Tell me what you’re imagining.”

"You said I drained you dry, but you're so weak you can't even get out of bed."

"???"

Shi Jin was left with a head full of questions.

“Actually, you look quite weak right now,” Shekh tapped his eyes. “You look very listless.”

"Okay, let's stop here." Shi Jinzhe pulled her outside. "I can't be weak no matter who is weak. I'm just tired from losing too much blood."

Are you still half asleep?

"Guess why I came out? I just came to sleep with you."

"But it's daytime now, I'm not sleepy."

"Don't sleep now." Shi Jinzhe handed his phone to Shehe. "This weather is perfect for camping. I'll take you to sleep in the mountains, and we'll go see some new things over there."

Sher opened his phone and saw a picture of an inflatable tent. Money made him impulsive and unpredictable; he could make a decision as soon as he had a plan and arrange for someone to set it up.

The background looks quite remote, but the scenery is beautiful; it's on a mountaintop with a wide view.

It's a bit far, though. The chat window says that if you go there now, it will take until midnight to get there by highway.

Shekh was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice how many people were turning their heads to look at Shi Jinzhe as he pulled her along.

She didn't look up until she heard a gasp of surprise from the crowd. Then she saw the peacocks roaming freely in the zoo, displaying their magnificent plumage...

"You're quite popular; even male peacocks are bewitched by you."

Just as Shekh finished complaining, several butterflies came and fluttered around Shi Jin. Then, two elephants called out from behind the bushes.

She flung her arms: "...Can you let go of me? It's so embarrassing to walk with you."

Shekh heard it; someone in the crowd whispered that this was some kind of Disney prince who had escaped.

Although she couldn't understand it, the combination of those words gave rise to a sense of shame, and she didn't want to embarrass herself by being associated with Shi Jinzhe.

But Shi Jinzhe not only didn't let go, he pulled her a little closer, saying, "No snake knows you, so don't lose the snake."

Instead of talking to me, you should hurry up and quiet these animals down.

"That's human nature, I can't control it."

Shi Jinzhe quickly returned to the car, pulled open the door, and blocked all the curious glances outside.

The driver left through another gate of the zoo and headed towards the campsite.

Shekh leaned back in his chair. "What's wrong with you?"

Shi Jinzhe whispered the word "upgrade" in her ear.

The idea that sleep cures all ailments applies to everything, including him. Sleep can effectively regulate one's state, even if one has overslept.

"When all things grow, it's not courtship; it's asking me for the origin of life, wanting to go further."

"Newly acquired?"

"yes…"

The car was quiet. Shi Jinzhe's eyelids drooped; he was really not awake. As soon as he found Shehe, he felt sleepy again.

Shekh's shoulders slumped, and he glanced to the side to see a slumped head. When he realized it, Jinzhe had fallen asleep again, silently gazing at the sky.

He even said he wasn't ashamed as he seemed; he's really stubborn.

night.

Sheikh sat in the tent holding his phone, having already watched two Barbie movies, before Shi Jinzhe showed any signs of waking up.

"What time is it?"

"It's one in the morning, and if you don't wake up, I'm going to go to sleep."

Shi Jinzhe rubbed his eyes: "You brought me in here?"

"Guess," Shekh said expressionlessly. "If you guess right, I'll tell you."

"Then I won't guess anymore." Shi Jin lay down, pulled a pillow behind his head, stared at Shehe for a while, then got out of bed.

"Can you see it through the telescope over there?"

Shekh nodded. "I've looked at it, but I don't know how to use it."

"I'll show you."

Shi Jinzhe stepped out of the tent. There was no moon, so the conditions were barely suitable for stargazing.

"The conditions here are not really suitable for deep-space photography, and the equipment that can be prepared in a short time is also limited. I will take you to see better places when I have the opportunity. Today, just experience it."

"It will be all right."

Sher couldn't understand what he was doing, fiddling with this and that, so she just stood aside, staring at the small screen.

After a while, Shi Jinzhe pointed to a pale yellow dot of light and said, "Look here."

It was a planet with wide rings, and even the blurry image couldn't hide its strange beauty.

"It has an aura, it's magical."

“These are Saturn’s rings.” Shi Jinzhe looked at the planet with Sher and said, “Saturn has a strong gravitational pull. When the celestial bodies orbiting it broke through the Roche limit and were torn into fragments by tidal forces, these rings were gradually formed.”

"So this halo was formed because it was torn apart and couldn't escape?"

“Yes, because it’s so attractive,” Shi Jinzhe said, slowing his speech and making his voice gentler. “Once you’re near it, you can’t help but be drawn to it.”

Shech admired it for a while, then asked, "Does that mean that once you see it, it's like embarking on a road of no return?"

“Yes, there is no other choice, this is the only outcome.” Shi Jinzhe emphasized: “That is to always center everything around it.”

His emotions were undisguised, and Sheikh, looking at him, realized that Shi Jinzhe wasn't talking about stars.

She turned her gaze away to look at the star hidden in the lens again, and realized that its magnificent halo was formed by countless pieces of debris.

Suddenly, I realized this thing wasn't so beautiful anymore.

Are there no stars that can't be torn apart?
