Volume 3: Dance of the Aurora Chapter 27: The Chief's Opinion
On the morning of May 8, Ning Yu'an was awakened by thunder as there was a thunderstorm outside the window.
Although the plum rain season has not yet arrived, it is quite normal for large cities along the Yangtze River to have heavy rain at any stage of summer.
Ning Yu'an sat up dizzy, and when he stretched, his pajamas stuck to his skin, revealing the outline of his body.
My hair was tangled together and my whole body was sticky, which made me feel uncomfortable so early in the morning.
I originally wanted to make up for some sleep today as I didn't have early classes, but now it seems that I won't be able to sleep. The quilt pressing on my body might even get wet if I twist it hard.
According to past experience, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River in early summer is not so unbearable, but the sun will hardly be seen by the end of May at the latest. The sudden rainstorm only makes this difficult time come earlier.
Ning Yu'an slowly climbed out of bed. When her feet touched the ground, she saw the clothesline hanging on the balcony was full of clothes. She felt despair in her heart. If it continued to rain like this for a few more days, she would have nothing to wear.
It's okay to dry your underwear with a hair dryer, but clothes you want to wear outside can only be dried in the laundry room on campus and paid to use a dryer. I'll go there after the lab class tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Ning Yu'an suddenly realized that the lab report she hadn't finished was left at her workstation in the biology building, and her mood suddenly plummeted to the bottom. She wanted to find any excuse to call Fang Cheng and scold him.
Ning Yu'an pulled out the only set of unwashed clothes from the closet and put them on: a large thin hooded sweatshirt and a pair of everyday jeans. She only wore loose clothes after entering college.
After throwing the laptop on the table into her schoolbag, she took a raincoat from the shelf, put it on, kicked her feet into a pair of sandals, and walked out of the house with a sullen face.
If you want to block this kind of rain, you can only wear a raincoat. It’s the same whether you use an umbrella or not.
Ahhh, this is so annoying. Why is it raining! Why is it raining!
When she reached the dormitory gate, she found that the rain had gradually stopped. In the distance, dark clouds were turning black, the smell of soil was rising in the air, and the cool breeze made her feel much better.
The scenery after a sudden rain has always made people feel particularly comfortable, which is probably a kind of delayed gratification.
The black clouds are like ink but have not covered the mountains, and the white raindrops are like pearls jumping into the boat.
Suddenly a huge wind came and blew away the clouds, and the water under the Wanghu Tower was as blue as the sky.
Although in this damn place, after one rain, a second round usually follows.
She folded her raincoat into the small bag she was carrying and walked down the stairs, her feet stepping into the puddles on the road. The rippling waves distorted the clouds on the ground, spreading to the edges and then reflected back to the center, repeating this cycle several times until the energy was completely dissipated.
The air temperature is also gradually rising. Although it is not yet uncomfortable, I will sweat if I exercise. I dare not sweat in this horrible weather. I can't even wash my clothes.
Thinking of this, Ning Yunan slowed down her pace, and when she took a step forward, she would use her toes to scratch the puddle. The slippery and cool touch was very intoxicating in the sultry summer weather.
Well, the oceanic climate in the north is better, with warm winters and cool summers, neither too hot nor too cold, neither too dry nor too wet, and four distinct seasons. At least if all this water turns into snow and falls to the ground, it will definitely give people a completely different feeling.
She remembered that when she was in elementary school, Fang Cheng especially liked to kick the snowmen she had worked so hard to build. One winter, she built a snowman outside the isolation column, and the next day Fang Cheng took a day off sick.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud. They had to pass by that isolation pillar every day when going to and from school. She wondered what that guy was thinking about all day.
But after entering middle school, he became much more honest, which is a sign of boys changing a lot when they grow up. However, he also had a lot of dark history in his middle school years that she had in her hands.
"Hey, Yu'an, what are you so happy about?"
After hearing this voice, the smile on Ning Yu'an's face disappeared instantly.
She looked up and saw the man walking towards her. He was the president of their department's student union, a junior this year. Although they were only nine months apart in age, he would always act in a condescending manner whenever he met Ning Yu'an.
"Yuan, I see you rarely go to the lab recently. Are you trying to be lazy? Studying is important, but you can't slack off on scientific research."
"Ah...hahaha, senior is right. I'll go to the lab after I finish this period of time."
Ning Yu'an had always hated this kind of pretentious way of speaking. As the student union president, she didn't really think she was a teacher, did she? And the reason why she had been going to the research group less frequently recently was very simple. This senior would always find excuses to stick to her, and he didn't stop even after she made it clear that she was uncomfortable.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where are you going now?"
She originally wanted to say that she was going to the laboratory, but in the split second before she said it, she realized that this would probably give the president a ready-made excuse to go with her, so she began to think quickly about a destination that would not take her to the same destination as him.
So she quickly looked at the other person, and after feeling his gaze fixed on her chest, she felt even more disgusted with him and just wanted to find an excuse to leave.
I really want to slap him.
"I'm going to the cafeteria to have breakfast now. Senior should have just returned from the cafeteria."
"Why are you there so late? As your senior, I have to remind you that your sophomore year is a critical period and you can't take it lightly. If you do this again in the future, I will tell your instructor that you are being lazy."
"Hiss... that's enough..."
She basically blurted out this sentence, although her voice was very low.
"Yuan, what did you say?"
"I think the president has a good idea!"
After she finished speaking, she walked around the president and ran briskly towards the cafeteria.
The bustling smell in the cafeteria temporarily dispelled Ning Yu'an's unhappiness. She bought some steamed buns and soy milk as usual, then found a window seat not too far from the TV and sat down, eating while watching the morning news.
Waking up early every day to watch the news is also a habit she developed under the guidance of her father.
"The Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently observed an extremely strong solar flare activity. According to experts, the scale of this flare is the largest in nearly 40 years. Please see the detailed report below."
"It is reported that this solar flare activity will create a huge coronal hole on the surface of the sun, the size of which is the largest ever observed since astronomical records began. According to the materials scientists have, coronal holes on the surface of the sun are often accompanied strong solar wind activities, and the solar wind brought by this flare is also the largest in history. In high-latitude areas, strong auroras that will last for more than 48 hours will be observed with the naked eye..."
