don't pull my short legs

The night is cold as water.

By the time they crept out cautiously, the monsters in the town had already fallen asleep.Even the chirping summer insects were much quieter, only thousands of grass blades blown by the wind made fine rustling sounds while gently scratching their exposed ankles.

It was obviously the ankle that was touched, but Zang Shixi felt itchy in his heart.

Tu You took his hand and walked side by side on the path leading to the top of the mountain.The night sky was clear, and the silvery-white moonlight fell between the thickly painted eyelashes, melting and dragging, revealing a bit of brilliance that was not visible on weekdays.Trembling with breathing.

Zang Shixi still couldn't hold back, and leaned forward to take a bite.

"Walking." Startled by the sudden attack, Tu You couldn't help but glared at him.

Probably startled by this human voice, in the dense grass, some small animals rustled away towards the distance.

Zang Shixi squinted his eyes.

"Hey—" In the next second, Tu You, who was suddenly hugged horizontally, exclaimed, "You—"

"Shh." Zang Shixi lowered his voice as he carried Tu You effortlessly through the forest, "If you make more noise, the fireflies will be scared away."

The wind blows the grass leaves, the shadows of the trees are scattered, and the moonlight becomes fainter as you go deeper into the forest.The light gradually dimmed.

But Tu You was not afraid at all, he stretched out his arms to hug Zang Shiyi, listening to the soft and heavy wind in his ears, silently raised the corners of his mouth.

When he reached the top of the mountain, he lightly bit Zang Shiyi's shoulder: "Here we are."

"It's right here?" There was no trace of fireflies at all, but Zang Shixi still stopped in his tracks, holding Tu You in his arms and turning around, "Didn't you see it?"

They are at the end of the mountain forest, and going up is the top of the mountain.The forest is dim, even if he is a monster with excellent eyesight, he still needs some effort to see Tu You's face clearly.

"There will be." Tu You was very sure.

He jumped off Zang Shiyi, found a bush and squatted down on tiptoe, and stretched out his hand to greet Zang Shiyi.

Amused by this childish behavior, Zang Shixi followed him and hid behind the bushes, lowering his voice: "How do you know?"

Zang Shixi didn't have much interest in fireflies, but since Tu You brought him to see them specially, he didn't want to see Tu You's disappointment when he didn't see the fireflies.

Tu You tilted his head, with a confused look on his face, and then whispered, "I just know."

"I often came here to visit when I was young." After all, it is a valley, and even in midsummer, the night wind is a bit cool.Tu Youjiu sneezed, and the second half of the sentence had a soft ending, "I like fireflies the most."

Afraid that he would catch cold, Zang Shixi didn't care about getting his clothes dirty, so he brushed the leaves of grass casually, sat down and put Tu You in his arms: "Why?"

I've never heard Tu You mention this before.

Huddled in the warm embrace, after a moment of silence, Tu You raised his head: "Because they are very bright."

"It's very bright in the dark." Sensing Zang Shiyi's confusion, he quickly added, "I like it very much."

Hearing what Tu You said, Zang Xixi slowly frowned.

"Are you afraid of the dark?" He carefully put his hands on Tu You's back and asked obliquely.

This question seemed to make Tu You a little embarrassed, but Zang Shixi didn't get an answer right away.

In the sudden silence, a thin layer of fog rose in the forest for some reason.The cool mist drilled straight into the bones, making people feel chilly.

It seems that there will be no fireflies tonight, Zang Shixi thought.

He was thinking about what comforting words to say when Tu You, who had been silent in his arms until now, moved.

"I used to be very scared." Tu You lowered his head, and Zang Shixi could only see his eyelashes fluttering rapidly when he spoke.

He couldn't help tightening his hands.

But Tu You didn't obediently lean on his chest as he expected, but broke away from him a little, and then raised his head.

"Now I have you." In Tu You's pure black eyes, starlight suddenly appeared from nowhere, "I'm not afraid anymore."

Those starlights were only faint at first, flickering on and off, but gradually became denser as they stared at each other, and gradually merged into a luminous galaxy.

Zang Shixi was suffocated and wanted to speak, but Tu You covered his mouth.

Then, he saw a scene he had never seen before.

Thousands of bright green light spots flowed out from the depths of the forest like flowing water, opened and closed like breathing, and fell lightly on the tops of each cluster of trees.Even in the clearest night sky, the number of planetesimals is less than one ten-thousandth of that in the forest at this time.

Huge groups of fireflies flutter lightly, leisurely shuttling among the branches and leaves.Wherever it went, it was brilliant, from the lowest shrubs to the top tree crowns, the entire forest was occupied by this group of glowing fireflies.

The cold mist had long been hiding somewhere, and a spot of light flew past Zang Shiyi's hair, and then spun around Tu You's head, before chasing after his flying companion in a leisurely manner.

Zang Shixi didn't know what to say, so he could only hold Tu You's hand tightly.

They watched the group of flying stars pass through the forest silently, and no one spoke.

Following the night wind, tens of thousands of fireflies gradually flew towards the top of the mountain, as if they were going to fly to the sky and become real stars.

Seeing that the fireflies were about to rush out of the forest, Tu You suddenly stood up.

Before he had time to react, Zang Shiyi was already being dragged by him, and he followed Liu Ying closely.

Frightened, the firefly began to move quickly and flew high.But they are faster.After a while, they caught up with Liuying who kept spreading out and then quickly gathered because of the fright.

"Do you like it?" There was no need to keep silent at this time, Tu You held Zang Shixi's hand, and while walking under the moving stars, he turned his head and asked Zang Shixi loudly.

I have already run out of the forest with the group of fireflies, and arrived at the top of the mountain with no shade of trees and a wide view.The clear moonlight dimmed the fireflies a lot, but there was still a twinkle in Tu You's eyes.

Zang Shixi suddenly stopped the car.

The swarm of fireflies spread out, and there were faint light spots floating on the entire mountain top.Hold them tenderly in the moonlight.

He didn't speak, and stretched out his hand to gently embrace Tu You.

This is a kiss that is not mixed with a little passion/desire, as pure as Liuying.Dense and long, as if it will never end.

In the end, Zang Shixi reluctantly let go of Tu You who had been kissed so breathlessly.

He stared at Tu You, even though the full moon was hanging high above his head and fireflies were flying around, they only had one other in their eyes.

"I like it." He said warmly.
