Three stars
This period of time is exactly when Grandpa Feng and his friends have dinner.
When I opened the door of the living room and walked towards the stairs, I happened to pass by the dining room.
Catching a glimpse of Feng Chibai's figure, Xu Jianyun pretended to shout, "Xiao Chi is back. Do you want to come over for dinner?"
Feng Chibai responded by turning sideways. Through the open door of the restaurant, he could see the situation inside clearly.
He kept a distance from everyone, but had no intention of getting closer, and responded, "No, Miss Lin and I had dinner outside."
He lied.
But it wasn't out of vanity or wanting to show off, but to lead her to ask that question.
As expected.
The next second, Xu Jianyun said, "Is that so? Xiao Chi mentioned this to that girl. Should we treat her to a banquet to express our gratitude?"
Feng Chibai raised the corner of his lips with a barely perceptible smile: "I mentioned it before, Miss Lin doesn't want to start a big fight."
Xu Jianyun had rarely found an opportunity, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of it. "Is it that Miss Lin doesn't want to make a big fuss, or is it that she doesn't want to give you this face?"
"If Aunt Xu doesn't believe me, you can go and invite them yourself, or ask your son to go."
He paused, then said calmly, "After all, you have always placed high hopes on your son. So your son must be very proud."
"Have you said enough?" The harsh words pierced his heart, and Feng Yunjing couldn't help but yell.
Feng Chibai's expression remained calm. "You should ask your mother, has she said enough?"
After all, everyone present had ears. It was Xu Jianyun who first brought up this topic and she was the one who started the dispute.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Old Master Feng stopped them with a shout: "Alright, if they don't want to, forget it. Do you have to quarrel just for a meal?"
Feng Chibai apologized respectfully first, then said, "I'll go upstairs first."
The moment his figure disappeared in front of the restaurant door, Xu Jianyun knew he was in the wrong and apologized to the old man.
Feng Junming sat next to her, glanced at her, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "It's best to stop making trouble during this period."
Xu Jianyun was dissatisfied with these words, but he couldn't express it at this moment.
I can only swallow my anger and keep it in my heart.
*
Weekend night.
When Lin Tang came out of the research institute, he noticed at a glance that a familiar black Maybach was parked in a bright open space not far away.
She had a good memory and when she glanced at the license plate number, she immediately remembered whose car it was.
However, she did not walk towards the car, but turned a corner and walked straight forward.
After all, she is not in the habit of being self-righteous.
However, after she walked a distance, a flash of light suddenly appeared behind her, and the road ahead was instantly illuminated.
She stopped but didn't turn around.
There was the sound of whistling wind and cars speeding along the road.
The light source was getting closer and closer to her.
After a moment, the Maybach drove up to her and stopped.
The window next to the driver's seat was rolled down, and the person inside the car looked at her and called out in a light tone, "Ms. Lin."
Lin Tang slowly met his gaze. The air was silent for a moment. She leaned forward slightly and said, "Boss Feng, are you here to supervise us? It's a pity that today is the weekend."
Apart from her, few people have time to come here on weekends.
"Not an overseer."
Feng Chi's bony fingers were still gripping the steering wheel. His expression was indifferent, and there was a sense of distance in his expression, yet he was like an endless black hole, sucking people in.
He did not wear a crisp suit. Today he wore a British-style woolen jacket with a high-necked white sweater, which made him look less serious and formal.
He raised his chin slightly, curved his lips into a smile, and said slowly, "Come and see... the one I want to see."
Lin Tang's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. She crossed her arms, feigned ignorance, and replied, mimicking his tone, "Is Xiaofeng always talking about projects? Or... is he referring to something else?"
Feng Chibai's smile deepened. "A few days ago, the astronomical forecast said there would be a meteor shower tonight. Did Miss Lin know about this?"
Lin Tang found it funny. Was he telling an astronomer about astronomical phenomena?
"Boss Xiaofeng, this is very deliberate."
"Really?" Feng Chibai pretended to realize something was wrong, thought for a moment, and then said, "I suddenly want to learn more about this. I wonder if Miss Lin is free to answer your questions today?"
Lin Tang slowly straightened his back, lowered his eyes and looked at him for a moment. Without saying anything, he walked to the other side, opened the car door, and got in.
"Could you please take me home, Mr. Xiaofeng?"
Feng Chibai raised his eyebrows.
Lin Tang smiled: "You're not planning to go watch the meteors like this, are you?"
Feng Chibai withdrew his gaze, but the smile on his face did not fade.
The car slowly drove out. He looked ahead and suddenly asked, "Why did Miss Lin agree so readily this time?"
Lin Tang hummed, then replied, "Most of the research funding was provided by President Xiao Feng, so naturally I have to give you this honor."
But it wasn't to please the investor. It was just that she suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since she had the time to sit down and watch a meteor shower.
A split second of thought helped her make the decision.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car remained quiet, but the two did not seem to feel awkward.
Lin Tang went home to get a telescope and got in the car again.
"Go to Yunluan Mountain." She ordered him naturally.
Yunluan Mountain's altitude is neither too high nor too low, and with minimal light pollution, it's one of the best places in Huaizhou to watch meteor showers. As for why she chose this place, it's because it's less crowded, and she doesn't like crowded places.
Feng Chibai said okay and drove to the location she mentioned.
The night scene outside the window drove rapidly backwards. Lin Tang sighed and said helplessly: "The drivers have all gone off work, and President Xiaofeng still wants me to work overtime."
She remembered that last time, he had a personal driver to drive him.
Feng Chibai was amused by her words. "If this makes Miss Lin unhappy, then it is indeed inconsiderate of me. However, I still sincerely hope to watch this meteor shower with you."
Lin Tang chuckled: "Is this how President Feng usually pleases girls?"
"I have only ever pleased Miss Lin."
"Then I'm truly honored."
"It's my honor that Miss Lin is willing to give me a favor today."
The speech was really... flawless.
They stopped at a place and got out of the car.
The meteor shower hadn't started yet, and the two of them leaned against the front of the car.
Lin Tang handed him the telescope.
He was stunned for a moment and asked, "There's only one, don't you need it?"
"After all, Mr. Feng is in a better mood today," said Lin Tang.
Feng Chibai chuckled softly and asked, "Why did Miss Lin choose to become an astronomer?"
This made Lin Tang unable to respond immediately. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Life is too boring. I have to find something interesting myself."
She looked up at the deep night and was distracted for a moment.
The vast and infinite universe can free people from being confined to a small alley.
As the voice fell, a slender silver light streaked across the sky.
"The Quadrant comes, the fallen stars come to you."
The next second, countless stars, carrying long tails, broke through the dome.
In the view through the telescope, against the background of stars, the asteroid dust with a "fireball" shape on its head burns out a bright trail.
One after another, the night sky suddenly exploded with light.
This was Feng Chibai's first time to witness a meteor shower. This cosmic visual feast would shock anyone who saw it.
In an instant, he suddenly understood what Lin Tang had just said.
In the silence, this is the unique charm of the winter Milky Way.
Under the bright and quiet night sky, Lin Tang subconsciously looked at Feng Chibai.
At this moment, he didn't seem as sharp as before.
When the telescope falls, it turns out that those eyes will also reveal a sense of loneliness.
The moment their eyes met, she suddenly felt that through him, she seemed to see her former self.
Perhaps they are people of the same frequency.
The two of them stared at each other in silence for a long moment before Feng Chibai broke the silence. "I heard the best time to observe this meteor shower is in the early morning."
Lin Tang remained silent, crossed his arms and smiled, "Boss Feng, you're not going to keep me here until the early morning, are you?"
Feng Chibai glanced at his watch and said, "It seems to be about the same."
Lin Tang didn't understand at first, and then he looked at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock.
Time flies so fast.
Feng Chibai asked her, "Do you want to go back to the car first?"
After all, it's very cold outside now, and the wind makes people shiver.
The heater was on in the car, a stark contrast to the temperature outside.
Thinking they were going back, Lin Tang fastened his seatbelt. However, after waiting for a while, the car didn't start.
She casually raised her head and looked at him, "Boss Feng, do you have any other plans?"
But I just heard him say: "Wait a little longer."
The meteor shower outside the car window is still going on, and the flow shows no sign of abating.
Meteor showers were flying by, time was passing, and the car was as quiet as ever.
At one point, Feng Chibai lowered his eyes to check the time. Finally, there was a sound inside the car.
"Could you please tell me, Miss Lin, happy birthday."
Hearing this request, Lin Tang was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously checked her phone, where the time read: January 5, Sunday, 00:00.
Jump to zero exactly.
Feng Chibai's eyes were surprisingly serious, as if he had been waiting for this moment tonight.
After a long pause, Lin Tang suddenly laughed. Although the request was ridiculous, she still agreed: "Happy birthday, President Xiaofeng."
The moment the voice fell into his ears, his emotions finally fluctuated. He smiled, his left hand on the steering wheel, and asked again: "Are we going home?"
If it was just now, she would have said yes without hesitation. But now, she has changed her mind.
"Want to go for a drink?" she asked.
Feng Chibai looked at her in surprise, but still chose to agree.
There were countless pubs still open at this time, and Lin Tang randomly chose one to go in.
The lighting in the pub was not very bright. She ordered a pot of plum wine, which was slightly sweet and had a distinct taste of alcohol, but it was not intoxicating at first.
Feng Chibai did not drink with her. After asking the waiter to bring him a glass of boiled water, he sat opposite her and watched her drink one glass after another quietly.
She had a good alcohol tolerance and drank three or four glasses in a row without any change in her expression.
The reason I want to drink is not because I’m in a bad mood, but simply because I’ve been out for too long and my craving for alcohol has come, so I take the time to have a drink.
They sat in the corner, away from the noisy area and away from the brightest place.
After a while, Feng Chibai slowly spoke: "Ms. Lin, it is indeed very different from what I thought."
Lin Tang supported his head with his left hand, raised his eyelids to look at him, and motioned him to continue.
"It's so late at night, and you actually invited a man you've only met a few times to drink."
"Mr. Feng, you're joking." After swallowing the last glass of plum wine, she slowly leaned back.
No matter who she is talking to, her eyes are always bold and confident.
She chuckled and followed his words, saying, "You did the same, inviting a woman you'd only met a few times to watch the meteor shower in the middle of the night."
Feng Chibai's expression remained calm: "Then it seems that we are very compatible."
Lin Tang chuckled twice in evasion, obviously not wanting to reply to him.
After a moment, she lazily stood up and walked straight to the door. However, when she passed him by one step, she noticed that he didn't move, so she stopped again, leaned back slightly, and leaned over to look him in the eye.
"Boss Feng, are you planning to sit for a while?"
The tails of her eyes were long, giving her a sharp edge whenever she looked at them. The alcohol slowly evaporated from her body, leaving her face a light blush and her eyes becoming translucent.
Under the dim light, that face with clear contours and a rather bony beauty has an indescribable temptation.
The two of them stood, and the other sat, and Feng Chibai could only look up at her. He still had a smile on his face, his almond-shaped eyes locked on her face, and the smell of alcohol permeated the air.
After a while, he calmly replied: "It's time to go back."
The shadows of the trees outside kept swaying. It was already very late at night and there were not many vehicles on the road.
After the car stopped at the entrance of the community, Lin Tang got out of the car and walked a distance, but the car was still parked there.
Remembering something, she slowly returned to the driver's seat and tapped the window.
The moment the car window rolled down, Feng Chibai's face appeared.
Lin Tang said slowly: "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to say thank you."
The man in the car smiled and said, "You're welcome, Miss Lin. It's an honor to be your driver."
Lin Tang snorted and chuckled, then turned around again. This time, he didn't care when the car behind him left.
