Chapter 8: A Wish Under the Meteor Shower
"Ren'er, A-Li, hurry up! Stop reading! You can read books anytime, but you can't watch a meteor shower anytime!"
Late at night, after Xu Ren'er and Mo Youli had dinner, they were carefully reading the knowledge in the book, intending to review what they had learned and learn something new.
The house was quiet and peaceful, but unfortunately this tranquility was broken by Tang Qiuyue, who hurriedly jumped in from the windowsill, shouting loudly.
During the period of martial arts training, Xu Ren'er gradually became more and more familiar with everyone, and everyone knew her real name.
Although they felt a little awkward and wanted to continue calling her Xiaoxiao, they still called her by her real name out of respect.
The language used in the books here is exactly the same as in Xu Ren'er's previous life, all in simplified Chinese, so Xu Ren'er does not need to relearn the language.
However, this is a fictional world. Whether it is the cultural background, national conditions, or customs of the people, everything is very different from what she has learned from history textbooks.
Xu Ren'er was somewhat resistant to learning at the beginning because the content of the books was too unfamiliar and required three people to take turns supervising him.
Later on, after adapting, she slowly evolved into jumping into the ocean of absorbing knowledge.
"Meteor shower?"
When Xu Ren'er heard this, he stopped reading the book and threw it aside. His eyes were shining and his face was full of anticipation.
You know, she could only see meteor showers through pictures or videos on the Internet, and had never been there in person to feel the atmosphere.
It is not easy for modern people to make money. She is an orphan with no money and no background. Since graduation, her life has been endless work and overtime. As a social animal office worker who lives an 886 life every day, how can she have extra time to appreciate the natural beauty of the world.
Even if there is, it is a rare holiday time, so it is estimated that there will be huge crowds of people. You won’t see much scenery, but there will be countless people.
"Yes, yes, it's the meteor shower! Didn't I mention it to you during martial arts training today, Ren'er? How could you forget?"
Tang Qiuyue asked.
After knowing each other for so long, Xu Rener's real name has become known to everyone, and now no one calls Xu Rener "Xiaoxiao" anymore.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry, I forgot. Let's go now."
Xu Ren'er quickly apologized, and while apologizing, he cleaned up the table, intending to tidy it up before leaving.
Because of the special characteristics of her body, she always encounters various problems different from ordinary people when learning martial arts, which makes Yu Hui more and more interested in studying her.
So, the two of them would discuss it together from time to time, and during this discussion, many things were put aside for a while.
In order to prevent their tracks from being exposed, the Mo family's house was built basically according to the simplest local decoration design, but in other hidden places, it was different.
All the food, clothing and daily necessities are of the best equipment.
Xu Ren'er and Mo Youli were in the same room, which was Mo Youli's bedroom, but there was a huge desk next to it compared to before, and there were two chairs of different heights on each side of the desk.
Needless to say, the extra high chair was naturally prepared for Xu Rener.
"Don't clean up yet. It's not too late to clean up when we get back. My brother has already showered and is waiting for us outside!"
Tang Qiuyue interrupted the two men's actions in time, grabbed one with each hand, and quickly took them out of the Mo family.
It was now the hour of Chou (two o'clock in the morning in modern times), and the village was shrouded in darkness. Every household had already extinguished their candles and fallen into a sweet dream.
As soon as I left the Mo family, I could vaguely see a figure standing with a sword in his arms through the moonlight.
"Brother, I brought them here. Let's go quickly and don't miss them!"
The figure was Tang Beiju. When he heard Tang Qiuyue's voice, he looked sideways.
"You guys are so slow, I've been waiting for so long!"
He looked dissatisfied and complained to them.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Mo Youli responded with a smile.
Everyone gathered together, and then the three people and the dog began to walk towards the top of the cliff.
They were all martial artists, full of energy and excellent night vision. Due to their anxiety, they walked silently all the way and quickly headed towards the top of the mountain.
We finally reached the top of the mountain, but unexpectedly, the meteor shower did not appear.
Seeing this, Mo Youli couldn't help but sigh: "It seems we are here early."
"It's getting late. It's better to arrive early than to miss the meteor shower." Tang Beiju raised his eyebrows and retorted.
Hearing this, Mo Youli could only smile in response.
"I heard that if you make a wish towards a meteor shower, it will come true. What would you wish for?"
Because she was anxious, Tang Qiuyue walked at the front of the team with her back to everyone.
The temperature on the top of the mountain was very cold. She could clearly feel the cool night breeze, her hair flying. She turned around, faced the others, and asked.
"A wish comes true? You believe that?! This is just a trick to deceive children."
Tang Beiju sneered and didn't believe such nonsense at all.
“I just believe it!!!”
Tang Qiuyue raised her chin and spoke in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Tang Beiju was about to continue to refute, but Mo Youli saw that something was wrong and quickly spoke up to try to ease the atmosphere.
“I think that no matter whether it is a deception or not, as long as you believe it is true, it may not be false.
To be honest, I also believe this statement. So, Qiuyue, what is your wish?"
"My wish..."
Tang Qiuyue clasped her hands behind her back and suddenly turned her back to everyone. She looked up at the dark sky, her eyes shining like stars.
She didn't immediately state her wish, but instead started talking about other things.
"Do you know the goddess of war from Juzi Country—Yong Wushu?
Seventy years ago, due to a sudden disease, almost all the healthy young men in Juzi country died.
To make matters worse, the disease problem had not yet been solved when the neighboring country of Dasuan suddenly attacked the country of Juzi.
There are not enough young men, and only the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as well as a group of women at home who are powerless, are left in the country.
At that time, the Kingdom of Juzi was on the verge of national destruction.
Just when everyone in Juzi was desperate and resigned to their fate, she stepped forward, armed with a giant axe, and led a group of women and the remaining men to forcefully defeat the Dasuan Kingdom.
Several people listened quietly. After Tang Qiuyue finished speaking, they stopped talking. Tang Beiju immediately stepped forward and asked.
"What do you mean by telling this story from decades ago? Do you admire Yong Wushu and want to be like her?"
"No!"
Tang Qiuyue shook her head and continued to look up at the sky with a firm gaze and a bright smile.
She said, “I want to surpass her!”
Tang Beiju was delighted when he heard this.
He couldn't help but say "Hey" and commented:
"You are so ambitious!"
After he finished speaking, Tang Beiju's eyes rolled, and he expressed his inner doubts: "However, you often slack off when practicing martial arts. Are you sure you can surpass that Yong Wushu?"
"Let's put things one way or the other. I just believe I can do it." Tang Qiuyue curled her lips, snorted coldly, and said.
Tang Beiju was about to say something to wake her up, but unexpectedly Mo Youli stepped forward, pressed his shoulder and stopped him.
Mo Youli said with a pleasant expression, "Qiuyue, you can do it. I believe in you."
As soon as the words fell, Tang Qiuyue was extremely moved, her eyes lit up, she turned around and expressed her gratitude to Mo Youli from the bottom of her heart.
Then, she stared straight at Mo Youli and asked, "What about you? Ah Li, what is your wish?"
"My wish?" Mo Youli was stunned. He lowered his head and frowned. After thinking for a long time, he slowly replied:
"My wish... well... how should I put it... I don't have any particularly big ambitions. If possible, I hope that my future life will always be in a leisurely and comfortable state."
"Oh wow?! I didn't realize it, Ah Li. Seeing you study so hard, I thought you had great ambitions. At the very least, you wanted to become a high-ranking official and stir up trouble in the officialdom."
As soon as Mo Youli finished speaking, Tang Beiju was suddenly surprised.
He really didn't expect that Mo Youli's wish was so simple!
"What about you, Beiju, what is your wish?" Mo Youli glanced at Tang Beiju.
"I don't even believe in this stuff. What wish can I have? Ren'er, what's your wish?"
Tang Beiju said something perfunctorily, then immediately changed the subject and threw the question to Xu Rener.
At this time, Xu Ren'er listened to the speeches of several people with great interest, sighing from time to time:
It’s great to be young. Unlike her, who has been a corporate slave for so many years, she has long forgotten what dreams are.
When Tang Beiju called her for no apparent reason, she subconsciously let out an "Ah" and her brain suddenly froze.
A wish? A time traveler in a dog's body, what could she possibly wish for? Her biggest wish was to have no mission, and for the King of Hell to let her reincarnate directly.
But I obviously can’t tell them this, so forget it, just fool them around.
"My wish is..."
Before Xu Ren'er could finish speaking, Tang Qiuyue's shout instantly caught everyone's attention.
"Look, the meteor shower is coming!"
The three people and the dog looked up at the sky at the same time.
Under the night sky, only white shooting stars can be seen streaking across the sky, illuminating the entire sky.
Each charging meteor is fleeting, and the subsequent dazzling silver light follows behind to replenish energy, striving to embellish the night and create this rare and beautiful scenery.
“How beautiful!”
Several people said in unison.
Tang Beiju was the first to react. He quickly reminded everyone: "Make a wish quickly, don't miss it!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, looked at the shooting star in front of him, and silently recited his wish in his heart.
Hearing this, the others no longer cared about enjoying the beautiful scenery and followed suit, fearing that they would miss the opportunity to make a wish.
Xu Ren'er opened his eyes wide and looked around. The other people gradually opened their eyes after making their wishes.
"Tang Beiju, didn't you say this was a trick for children? Why are you so enthusiastic? You are the first one to make a wish!" Tang Qiuyue raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically.
"Beiju is just a little bit arrogant, but deep down he believes it more than anyone else here."
Mo Youli narrowed his eyes, covered his mouth and laughed, teasing.
Xu Ren'er seemed to be trying to persuade him, but in fact he was increasing the intensity of the attack:
"Stop talking, stop talking. We still have to take care of Beiju's self-esteem. Look, his face is redder than a monkey's butt, hahahahahaha!!"
"I'm not blushing!!! Xu Ren'er, stop talking nonsense and take this!"
When Tang Beiju heard what everyone said, his face turned red and his eyes were evasive. But Xu Ren'er still exposed his shortcomings in front of him. He was so angry that he picked up his sword and was ready to teach Xu Ren'er a lesson.
"Oh my, I'm so scared, I'm so scared!"
Seeing Tang Beiju running towards her, Xu Ren'er shuddered and quickly kicked her four legs to avoid the attack.
However, even though she was afraid of Tang Beiju's attack, she still didn't give in to him, shouting as she ran away, aiming to make Tang Beiju furious.
"Tang Beiju, what is your wish? You don't want us to collectively hide the fact that you have a pure and innocent childlike heart, do you? Hahahaha!"
Seeing that Tang Beiju was about to catch up with Xu Rener, Tang Qiuyue shouted loudly.
Although he knew that Tang Qiuyue's purpose was to help Xu Ren'er avoid danger, Tang Beiju was still very angry and turned around and rushed towards Tang Qiuyue.
"Tang Qiuyue, shut up!"
"I don't want to listen!"
Tang Qiuyue covered her ears while running away, muttering to herself, and the smile on her lips was almost broken.
Mo Youli stood alone on the edge, quietly watching Xu Ren'er and Tang Qiuyue teasing Tang Beiju with a warm smile in his eyes.
He couldn't help but look up at the meteors flying across the sky and thought to himself.
This kind of life should be able to exist between them forever!
