The meteor shower lasted until dawn.
As the sky started to lighten, the brilliant spectacle came to an end.
Students who watched the whole phenomenon from the building's base and stadium reluctantly departed.
This morning, unusually many people skipped class, even more than during the World Cup finals; post-excitement exhaustion pulled everyone back to their dorms for a deep sleep.
Even Su Zelin, who has been a model class monitor, uncharacteristically skipped class—not because he couldn't manage, as a natural slacker, he could easily stay awake for two days straight.
But he knew their mentor wouldn't come to class today either.
First, the mentor could predict the attendance would be dismal.
Second, the mentor also watched the meteor shower and needed some catch-up rest.
In a past life, it was a mutual understanding between mentors and students to have an unspoken class strike the morning after the Leonids meteor shower; likely it would be the same this time.
