Chapter 1247: She Had Wanted to Come Since She Was a Child

When she woke up the next day, she realized that the plane was already in Finland.

She could see the beautiful natural lakes and forests through the windows of the airplane.

After they disembarked from the airplane, they took a car to the beautiful Northern Lights Village in Finland.

Finland was much colder compared to Ye City and Paris, so even though it was almost summer, it still felt as cold as winter. The temperature in the day was still in the single digits.

They were forced to purchase warmer woolen sweaters and boots.

After they had changed, they strolled down a narrow and winding path. Beautiful snow-capped pine trees lined both sides of the pathway and they could even see a clear lake peeking through from the trees. They admired the view, sampled local delicacies, and partic.i.p.ated in hunting and reindeer sledding activities. They only returned to their resort when night fell.

They stayed in a small wooden cabin with a domed roof. The cabin had a wooden structure but it was covered in gla.s.s panels, so they could see the beautiful stars at night from their cabin.

The cabin was constructed in such a way that tourists would be able to admire the beautiful northern lights from their rooms.

Unfortunately, northern lights weren’t an everyday occurrence. Moreover, it was already the 3rd of May, so the chances of them seeing northern lights were not high.

Nonetheless, she was still very happy because she had finally visited the place that was on the top of her bucket list.

She remembered that there was a song that went, “The waters over there are always clear, the air is full of calm, the white snow and bright moon hangs over the earth…”

She felt as though she was walking through the place that the lyrics had described.

She stared up at the beautiful night sky, the bright moon, and the stars that dotted the sky from her wooden cabin that was only 30 square meters. The galaxy looked like a white belt that gave off a faint glow as it spanned an enormous distance across the starry skies.

“Have you been here before?” she asked the man who lay beside her and saw that he was also admiring the stars in the sky.

“No,” he replied.

He had been to many countries and cities but he usually traveled for business. He hardly had time to relax, to admire the beauty of nature, or to experience a different culture.

“I really like this place. I have wanted to come here ever since I was a child,” she said with a small smile. “I really enjoyed sketching portraits of nordic mythological characters when I was in middle school. I liked drawing Odin, Frigga, Thor, Sif… I would always dig out the book of mythology that my mother had given me whenever I drew these characters. I would read the stories and capture the most beautiful scenes depicted in those stories.”

She thought back to her childhood. She was a girl who was full of curiosity and would always create very imaginative drawings.

Ye Hao gently held her hand as she talked about her past. He knew that she was a sensitive and imaginative woman. He also knew that she would let her imagination run wild at times. The movies she watched were also a reflection of her personality. She didn’t enjoy watching comedies, romantic, or action films but she enjoyed watching fantastical, magical, science fiction, or horror films. This was why he had chosen to bring her to the observatory to admire the vast universe. Just as he had guessed, that was what she had wanted to see most.

“Thank you, Ye Hao!” she said with a smile.
