Suddenly, a glowing star slowly flew into the air in front of everyone's eyes.

"The air sign Aquarius star diamond has appeared!"

"elder sister."

Beibei closed her eyes, "Star Diamond appeared again!"

Sister Yaya’s words came to Beibei’s mind again.

"Dancing in the light, water, fire, earth, wind, star diamonds flashing!"

As soft music slowly sounded, the Night Star Box slowly rose into the air, and a long string of musical characters flew out of the box.

Beibei invited the three sisters Ling Meiqi as usual:

"Meiqi, Miyuki, Xiaoxiao, let's do it together!"

"Ok!"

The four people quickly lined up, waited a few seconds, and then began singing.

"Star of curiosity, kindness, and friendship, I pray to the night star, to summon the Aquarius star with the dancing figure!"

When the song ended, the Aquarius star floating in the air suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and finally slowly fell into the Night Star Box.

"Aquarius Star Diamond is back!"

Beibei looked down at the Night Star Box in her hand, feeling excited and relieved. She was excited because she had successfully collected another star diamond; she was relieved because she was getting closer and closer to collecting all twelve star diamonds.

"Sister, I have summoned back 7 star diamonds!"

"It's really great!"

The dandelions flying in the sky reflected the innocent smiling faces of each of them, just like people in a painting.

At this moment, they are the happiest people in the world.

In the bedroom, the elves were lying here and there, all sleeping soundly on the table.

Ling Meiqi slapped the table with her hand, instantly waking them up from their sleepiness.

"Come and play with us!"

Xue Feifei yawned, "We've been playing with you for a long time! Please, let us sleep!"

"Forget it, sis!"

Ling Meixue on the side chimed in: "Just let them go!"

"no!"

Ling Meiqi put her hands on her hips and protested seriously: "We can't sleep. If they don't play with us, who will play with us?!"

"actually...."

Beibei added softly, "I can't sleep... I see you can all sleep... I'm sorry for asking you to accompany me!"

"No!"

Ling Meixue explained: "We asked you to come to our house to accompany us!"

"I can't laugh anymore..."

Yan Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and collapsed onto the bed.

"I woke up and played with you guys..."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Flash!"

The elves said this and quickly got into the transformation device.

"Who?"

"it's me!"

Xiao Lan pushed open the door and walked in slowly.

"It's Sister Xiaolan!"

"Why, you guys aren't asleep yet?"

"Beibei can't sleep, we are accompanying her!"

"Great!"

Ling Meiqi seemed to have seen a savior, "Sister Xiaolan, come and play with us!"

"What are you playing for?"

Ling Meiqi looked expectant: "Come and play marbles and checkers with us!"

“This, I don’t understand!”

Xiao Lan looked around awkwardly, and her eyes quickly locked on the storybooks on the bookshelf.

"Let me tell you a story!"

"tell a story?"

Ling Meiqi followed Xiao Lan's line of sight and looked over, a little incredulous, "That's the storybook we read when we were little! Sister Xiao Lan, do you still think we are three-year-old children?"

"Storytelling is great too! I haven't heard Sister Xiaolan tell stories for a long time!"

Ling Meixue pressed Yan Xiaoxiao on the bed and said, "Xiaoxiao, get up quickly. Sister Xiaolan is going to tell us a story!"

"really?"

When she heard that a story was going to be told, Yan Xiaoxiao suddenly lost all sleepiness and sat up.

Beibei: “I want to listen to it too!”

Seeing everyone saying this, Ling Meiqi could only compromise: "Okay! Then tell us a story and make us happy!"

Several people sat down in a circle.

Xiao Lan reached out and picked up one of the storybooks and began to flip through it carefully.

"There are so many little stories here, I'll just pick one at random!"

She flipped through the pages casually and finally stopped at one of them.

"Okay, let's tell this story!"

She cleared her throat, looked at the book seriously, and began to narrate:

"Once upon a time, on a snowy New Year's Eve, a little girl in thin clothes and barefoot stood shivering on the street corner...."

On her thin shoulders, she carried a bamboo basket filled with boxes of matches.

When she saw someone passing by, she would carefully greet them: "Matches for sale! Matches for sale! Buy a box of matches!"

Even though no one was interested in buying the matches, she didn't dare go home, because if her family knew that she hadn't sold a single box of matches, she would definitely be beaten.

Her body had gradually frozen and her stomach was growling with hunger. The smell of food came from the house next to the wall. The people in the house were preparing a feast for New Year's Eve.

The aroma of roast goose meat made her drool.

"smell good!"

Looking at her hands that were already red from the cold, she was gradually losing consciousness.

In order to get a little warmth, she had to take a match from one of the matchboxes to warm her frozen fingers.

With a "click", the match was lit, and in the light in the darkness, the little girl finally found a beam of light that belonged to her.

Although this light was small, weak, and could go out at any time, it still brought her a little warmth.

She couldn't help but begin to imagine that the people in the house, at this moment, were sitting together happily as a family, eating roast goose, roasting fire, and living a happy and comfortable family life.

The roast goose on the table suddenly flew towards her and was about to be eaten by her, but the match suddenly went out at this moment.

The goose also disappeared, and there was only a thick, rough wall in front of her.

The little girl was unwilling to give up, so she struck another match. This time, she saw a huge Christmas tree.

She was delighted, but before she had time to take a closer look, the match in her hand went out again.

At this time, the little girl lit another match, and this time, she saw her grandmother whom she had been thinking about day and night.

"Grandma! Grandma!"

The little girl had tears in her eyes, fearing that the matches would go out again. She was even more afraid that her grandmother would disappear from her sight, so she lit the matches one after another until all the matches were used up.

She squatted down, hugged her grandmother, and begged:

"Grandma, please take me away quickly! I want to eat roast goose!"

The next morning.

People found that the little girl had fallen on the snow and had left the world forever.

There were many burned matchsticks around her, and small bamboo baskets and matchboxes were scattered around her...
