Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Gene was walking on the street. He had just eaten something on the central street of District 3, and then came to the vicinity of Reed Theater. Gene was browsing the theater's website. There was a classic play "Starry Night" tonight. The performance is a temporary performance.

The promotional picture showed a dazzling starry night. A beautiful woman wearing a purple dress, exposing her white calves and bare feet, holding a cello, her eyes were like the bright stars behind her. In the endless wilderness, the wind was stirring the woman's eyes. Long hair.

Tonight, the stars are shining brightly, it’s a peaceful starry night! ——Jie Lin

This play called "Starry Night" is adapted from a novel written by Yuan Xing, a novelist in the city. Gene also has a little knowledge of this classic novel written more than 20 years ago. It is a very interesting book.

Looking at the door of Reed Theater, many people were already pointing and pointing. Gene had already booked a single-seat ticket priced at 300 on the second floor. Gene showed a gentle smile.

"It's been a long time since I've seen an opera. Let's take a break!"

"I do not want."

Le Xiao decisively rejected Gu Ningning's offer of relaxation treatment after dinner.

"If you keep doing this, I'll make Ning Ning angry."

Seeing Gu Ningning groping in her private parts from time to time, Le Xiao retreated to the door angrily.

"Okay, Lele, I won't tease you anymore, I'm going to the theater."

Gu Ningning said and ran out with a smile. At this point, most people gathered in some large rooms for secret meetings. Le Xiao was not interested in participating, and planned to go directly to a quieter place on the edge of Central Park to sit.

Le Xiao had her own way of relaxing and decompressing, so she didn't need Gu Ningning's unspeakable relaxation treatment. With a brisk pace, Le Xiao wandered to Ximen's old place, but this time he saw a man wearing a windbreaker and wearing a tie. The calm-looking man with pigtails was standing outside admiring the light and shadow on the wall.

Le Xiao also sat on the bench without thinking and took a deep breath of fresh air. Le Xiao chose to eat fish tonight. It was a very good vegetable fish. Le Xiao was very satisfied with the meal. Even the sauce on the bottom of the plate was delicious. Used to mix rice and eat it.

But at this moment, Le Xiao noticed that there was a trace of sadness in the man's eyes. He always felt that he had seen it somewhere before, and he looked familiar. He looked like he was not a member of parliament or someone from the executive branch. He should be someone in the auditorium. Le Xiao I didn’t pay attention to it anymore.

"Hello, Your Excellency Le Xiao."

A mature, steady and magnetic male voice came from behind Leng Buding. She turned her head. The man behind her was very handsome and steady. She had definitely seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't tell for a while.

"Sorry, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yuan Xing, and I am a professional writer."

Le Xiao got up from the chair with a groan, excitedly grabbed Yuan Xing's hand and swung it from side to side.

"You are Yuan Xing. When I was in elementary school, I still had your articles in my textbooks. "Starry Night" you wrote is really wonderful. And that book "Men and Women" is my favorite. The heroine Ai in it is Ni is really a wife."

For a moment, Le Xiao couldn't think of how to describe it, and then she realized that she was a little embarrassed. She blushed and quickly retracted her hand. Yuan Xing smiled and spoke.

"Your Excellency Le Xiao, one day I hope to invite you to my home as a guest, and I can tell you some short stories about my creation."

Le Xiao kept nodding her head, unable to restrain her excitement. This man was the leading writer in the city. Le Xiao still remembered the description in "Starry Night".

Please give me a pen. I want to describe the night sky outside the window. The wind quietly opens the window. There is no sunshine, but it is very bright. There is no rain and dew, but it is very cool. The stars in the distance are like pearls, embedded in the sky, shining. The night is very dark, quiet and distant, but through it, you can hear the tranquility that you have never experienced during the day, and you can see the fantasy of a better life, but no matter how bright the stars are, they can only embellish the black curtain. Close the book and draw a line. At the end of the day, enter that quiet and peaceful dreamland.

Le Xiao reminisced about that wonderful period. She still remembered going home after studying and asking her mother where she should go to see the starry night. It wasn’t until she grew up that Le Xiao realized that in addition to the virtual starry night, this world is also about seeing stars. Not the real starry sky.

Later, it wasn't until Le Xiao went to a middle-level job that she finally spent 20 yuan to buy the full version of Starry Night and read it. It was just different from what she learned in the light and shadow textbook in elementary school. The text appreciation textbook and Le Xiao bought the full version The difference is that without a sentence, no matter how bright the star is, it can only embellish the black curtain. This question has puzzled Le Xiao for many years, but now that he sees the real person, Le Xiao's doubts over the years have rushed to his brows.

"By the way, Mr. Xingyuan, why is there a sentence missing at the end of "Starry Night" that you wrote."

Xingyuan looked a little stiff for a moment, but he still nodded and said.

"It's just a slight modification. Okay, Sir Le Xiao, are you interested in going shopping with me?"

Le Xiao hummed and followed Xing Yuan outside the park. At this time, Xing Yuan squinted at the book and orange emblem on Le Xiao's left arm and smiled happily.

"Your Excellency Le Xiao, do you think it is better to live under the starry night or under the sun?"

Le Xiao blinked, waved her hands and said with a smile.

"Just call me Le Xiao. I think it's good to live under the sun, but I also want to see the starry night. Each one has its own beauty."

At 8 o'clock sharp, the Reed Theater opened. Everyone bought tickets, took the light and shadow mobile phone to complete the inspection of the machine held by the staff, and entered the theater in an orderly manner.

Gene lifted up his uniform, mixed in with the crowd, and walked into the theater. There were already many fashionable and brightly dressed women around him. He smiled softly.

"Sorry ladies, I want to watch the show in peace tonight."

Arriving at the front end of the second floor, there was a separate seating area. Gene sat on the sofa. On the small table next to him, he could choose some desserts, tea, coffee or juice drinks.

The theater was crowded, and after a while everyone consciously became quiet, and the lights in the theater were extinguished little by little.

Along with a burst of sound, a spotlight shined on the stage not far away.

A melodious and melodious violin sound floated out slowly, and the curtain opened little by little. In an instant, the curtain disappeared. The stage, generated by the light and shadow system, instantly transformed into a seemingly empty grassland scene under the starry sky.

The sound of the violin suddenly stopped, followed by bursts of Chongming birds, and accompanied by the gentle piano music with a soothing rhythm, "Starry Night" officially began.
