When Zhou Mingyang passed the glass curtain wall of the Vancouver Art Gallery for the fifth time, he finally saw the oil painting titled "Summer Solstice 1999" clearly. The painting shows the backs of two teenagers riding bicycles together in a heavy rain. The mint candy wrappers scattered in the bicycle basket are glowing.
In the pocket of his custom-made suit, the mint candy produced in 2000 has been melting for twelve summers. At this moment, through the bulletproof glass, he saw the label on the painting saying Donate
"S. Q. H" - the same signature as the note in the crack of the observatory wall twenty years ago.
The phone vibrated suddenly. It was an encrypted email from the auction house. When he clicked on the high-definition scan of "Untitled 1999", his breath froze in the lower right corner of the canvas: the basketball bracelet hidden in the gap of the medical bed was the one he left in the infirmary.
The rain started again. When Zhou Mingyang turned around, he bumped into a group of people holding Starbucks. The sunflower pattern on a certain Asian young man's sweatshirt stretched in the rain. He suddenly remembered the message on the BB machine that was deciphered last night. The Morse code was translated as: "The third brick on the top floor of the observatory."
The moment the Airport Express whizzed by, Zhou Mingyang took out his treasured IC phone card. When he finally dialed the number he had memorized for twenty years, he heard the sound of rain ringing from both ends of the earth at the same time. The narrator in front of the painting is reading a message from the donor: "To all the stars trapped at the end of the century - we will eventually meet again in the darkest spiral arm of the Milky Way."
