The baby slapped me, and I said, "Sit on my lap and slap me."

Su Qingyao cried for a long time.

It was as if she wanted to pour out all the bitterness and weight that had been building up in her heart for years, turning it all into tears.

The crying gradually changed from loud wailing to intermittent sobs, and finally only faint breathing after exhaustion remained.

She curled up in Wen Yu's arms and fell into a deep sleep, with wet tears still clinging to her eyelashes.

Wen Yu held her without moving until he was sure her breathing had completely calmed down, then carefully adjusted his position and carried her into the bedroom.

He gently settled her on the bed and pulled the blanket over her.

He bent down and gently wiped away the remaining tear stains from the corners of her eyes and cheeks with a tissue.

Under the warm yellow light of the night lamp, her sleeping face was peaceful, with the tip of her nose and the redness around her eyes from crying, making her look particularly vulnerable and heartbreaking.

Wen Yu squatted down by the bed and gazed at her for a very long time.

Then he lowered his head and gently placed a tender and precious kiss on her forehead.

Goodnight, baby.

"Everything will get better and better, I'll be there for you."

"I'm here, I'm always here."

-

After that day, Wen Yu felt that some invisible shackles on Su Qingyao had been loosened.

She became more dependent on him than ever before, her smile became brighter, and even her steps became much lighter.

It's no longer Zhang Miaoke who's constantly chattering away; she'll take the initiative to lead them out to play, suggest things to do, and even drag Wen Yu to take couple photos.

They posed for a photo at Nyhavn in Copenhagen and hugged at Vigeland Sculpture Park.

Play freely in the snow and ice, and kiss on a cable car at night.

Shout loudly during the polar day, and embrace tightly during the polar night.

Every landscape is given a unique meaning because of the presence of each other.

The camera is full of their photos.

The happy moment when he carried her on his back, the panicked look when he stole a kiss from her, the sweetness of sharing the same cake in the cafe, the sight of their hands clasped tightly on the forest path...

More than a month passed, and Su Qingyao, who was having a blast playing in the snow, felt a little reluctant to leave when she learned that she would be flying back to China the next day.

"Are you happy, baby?" Wen Yu asked softly.

Su Qingyao naturally leaned against his chest, "Happy, extremely happy."

"That's good."

He kissed the top of her head.

"Your happiness is my happiness."

Su Qingyao was already used to Wen Yu's sweet words, and smiled as she softly replied, "Me too. If you're happy, I'm happy too."

The two smiled at each other, said nothing more, and quietly gazed at the starry sky.

As she watched, drowsiness crept in, and Su Qingyao became somewhat sleepy.

Suddenly, an invisible hand gently lifted a corner of the night sky.

An emerald-like halo flowed out without warning, spreading out a hazy green.

"Baby, look! It's the aurora borealis..."

Wen Yu called her softly.

Su Qingyao opened her eyes groggily and witnessed a scene she would never forget in her life.

That green stretched across the sky, as if it had come to life, spreading into a flowing river of light.

The pale purple veil blended in quietly, dancing and entwining with the turquoise light band, its edges tinged with a coral pink hue, creating an incomparably beautiful scene.

The aurora borealis is constantly changing, sometimes like a velvet curtain falling to earth, sometimes like fireflies scattered by the wind, building a swaying and magnificent rainbow bridge between the snowfield and the starry sky.

"Wow!!! It's the aurora borealis! We really saw the aurora borealis! It's a miracle!! A miracle!!"

Zhang Miaoke jumped up excitedly and quickly grabbed her camera to record the moment.

Her cheers woke the others in the tent.

Shen Zhixian strode out of the tent, her gaze immediately drawn to the spectacular scenery on the horizon.

She pushed up her frameless glasses, her eyes gleaming with an almost scorching light.

She unconsciously murmured about the formation and patterns of the aurora borealis. This celestial phenomenon, which should not have appeared, was undoubtedly an unexpected and beautiful surprise for her.

Jiang Shubai stood beside her, looking at the girl who was completely engrossed in her brainstorming, and shook his head and chuckled helplessly.

Falling in love with a future astronomer whose mind is only filled with stars and formulas is both sweet and bittersweet.

He gently draped his coat over her shoulders. Shen Zhixian was slightly taken aback, but did not refuse.

Jiang Shubai's smile spread from his eyes, gradually filling his entire face.

He grinned, smiling like a big boy whose wish had come true, pure and bright.

On the other side, Wen Zhaoyue glanced in the direction of Wen Yan and deliberately avoided him by walking a little further away.

A hint of gloom flashed across Wen Yan's eyes. He slowly approached as if by accident and sat down beside her.

While she was captivated by the changing lights, his hand quietly moved closer, his little finger gently hooking around her pinky.

Wen Zhaoyue's lips curled up slightly, but she did not break free.

She thought to herself, the aurora tonight is just the right amount of beautiful.

Su Qingyao stood up, her eyes reflecting the colorful sky, and couldn't help but wave vigorously at the dazzling light curtain in the sky.

Hello, aurora!

Her voice was filled with childlike joy.

"You're so beautiful!"

"Why did you show up at this time? So Wenyu wasn't lying to me, you really can see the aurora."

Wen Yu stepped forward and draped a thick blanket over her shoulders. "Your husband will never lie to you."

She tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling.

"Mmm, Wenyu, it's so beautiful! Is this a gift from the aurora borealis, specially for me?"

"It's a gift."

He turned his head to the side, his eyes shining brightly.

"It's a miracle too."

He leaned close to her ear, his voice firm.

"A miracle specially given to my baby."

Make a wish.

He whispered, his warm breath brushing against her ear, "Make a wish upon a miracle, and everything you want will come true."

Su Qingyao nodded vigorously, her lips curving into a smile.

She turned around, facing the dazzling, ever-changing colors of the sky, clasped her hands together in reverence before her chest, and closed her eyes.

I hope Mom will wake up soon.

I hope I can succeed in my studies and become a real physicist.

I hope everything is well for Wenyu, and that things will get better and better.

I hope that Wenyu and I...

She peeked through a crack in her eye at the person beside her, only to be met with his smiling gaze.

Once caught, she closed her eyes again and carefully repeated her last wish in her heart.

I hope that Wenyu and I can stay together forever.

Wen Yu gazed quietly at Su Qingyao's face.

After watching for a long time, I slowly raised my head and looked at the magnificent light that was still flowing in the night sky.

If you are truly a miracle.

So,

Please let all of Su Qingyao's wishes come true.

As if in response to the prayer, a dazzling shooting star suddenly streaked across the sky where the aurora borealis had not yet dissipated.

Su Qingyao happened to open her eyes and saw it, and couldn't help but gasp softly.

"Ah—a shooting star! It's a shooting star!"

She immediately closed her eyes again, clenched her hands tighter in front of her chest, and repeated each wish she had just made in her heart, word by word, with utmost seriousness.

Then, she opened her eyes and looked at Wen Yu with tender eyes.

Starlight and aurora borealis swirled in her eyes as she tilted her head back slightly, as if she had made a decision.

"Wenyu, let's do it."

The sound was very soft.

But in an instant, Wen Yu's blood boiled and surged.
