After coming out of the low house made of stones, one thing has been bothering Gu Zhanqiao.

That's why the rotting threshold at the door was so high, it was as if she had turned into a little friend less than a meter tall.

And then it occurred to her, yes, she was a kid all along.

She has seen her relatives - not sure, but maybe mom and dad, because she ran over unconsciously and enthusiastically.

She hugged the opponent's thigh and looked up at the opponent's face that was invisible due to the backlight.

She really wanted to know what kind of person she hugged.

She wanted to say something, but was vaguely aware that she couldn't speak, or couldn't.

And the grown-ups who are like giants speak more like a language from an alien planet, and they can't understand it at all, even though it's all in their ears.

She looked around in some panic, thinking she might need to run away.

So she ran.

She ran quickly from the base of the high stone wall until she was out of breath, and the surrounding scenery fell into a chaotic haze. She raised her head at a certain moment and was grabbed by the arm.

So she screamed and opened her eyes.

Mo Tongtong blinked and looked down at her, and grabbed her raised arm with one hand.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"You seem to want to hit me—are you having a nightmare?"

"It can't be called a nightmare..."

The content of the dream disintegrated quickly after waking up, leaving only sporadic impressions in the end. Gu Zhanqiao frowned and thought for a while, only thinking of the changing scenery and herself running constantly.

She realized that she was still out of breath, and even had cold sweat on her forehead.

"Someone is chasing me—it's just a dream, let's not talk about it, is it time already?"

"11:30, it's going to be early in the morning - do you really want to go?"

"Of course I'm going."

Gu Zhanqiao thought, this is our first year.

The thing to do is go to the only place in the area that allows firecrackers to set off firecrackers.

Meeting Lu Sanbao and Fengjiang, the four of them went to the open place by the river facing the cold wind.

"Will there really be no small newspapers tomorrow saying "Gu Zhanqiao is full and has nothing to do to set off firecrackers in the early morning"?" Feng Jiang said tremblingly.

"They will write a hundred times worse than what you said." Lu Sanbao looked at Mo Tongtong and Gu Zhanqiao who were snuggling together, and dialed a few numbers, "But we are all friends, what's the use of fabricating news benefit."

Although it was very cold, but since it was brought up by himself, Gu Zhanqiao still pretended to be calm.

Although her teeth were chattering together when she spoke: "Is it time?"

"Ten minutes left."

Mo Tongtong hugged Gu Zhanqiao, took off her gloves and put them into Gu Zhanqiao's pocket to hold her hand.

But when she touched Gu Zhanqiao's hand, she found that her hand was a little colder than hers...

After realizing this, she was about to reach out her hand, but Gu Zhanqiao held her hand.

The red wool cap covered most of Gu Zhanqiao's head. She leaned in front of Mo Tongtong and raised her head. Amber usually looked at her with a sly smile through the sparse bangs pressed under the cap. Touching Mo Tongtong, she said, "Your hands are colder than mine, Tongtong."

"..." Mo Tongtong didn't know what to be proud of.

But when she felt the temperature from her fingers, she just felt that the warmth reached her heart, disintegrating all the chills with the beating of the heart.

She fell into the gentle warmth and nodded obediently.

Time is up.

Gu Zhanqiao jumped up from Mo Tongtong's arms, and went to touch the lead wire that was neither long nor short.

She was wearing a red down jacket and a red hat, and she looked like a small flame.

The sparks flickered with a sizzling sound one by one, and spread to the fireworks and firecrackers placed together by the river.

When the fireworks were lifted into the sky, Gu Zhanqiao just jumped into Mo Tongtong's arms with a smile on his face.

Her eyes were shining, reminding Mo Tongtong of Gu Zhanqiao who had shining eyes on a certain night by this lake.

Her blood was hot again, and her heart began beating so hard that her eardrums swelled.

Gu Zhanqiao stood on tiptoe, her face was very close.

She raised her hands, touched Mo Tongtong's cheek, and then covered her ears.

Mo Tongtong quickly raised her hand to cover her ears.

She secretly blamed herself, thinking that she was falling into delusions, so that she was not as thoughtful as Gu Zhanqiao.

The sound of exploding firecrackers seemed hazy because of the obstruction of the palm.

On the contrary, the sound of blood flowing is like a rushing water, which is constantly recalled in the whole body.

Mo Tongtong saw Gu Zhanqiao open his mouth and speak loudly, his voice intermittent in the commotion.

But she said it several times, causing Mo Tongtong to slowly piece together what she said in her mind——

She said: "I like you! Tongtong, I like you so much!"

As she said this, she closed her eyes and muttered devoutly to herself as if she was making a wish.

In the momentary light brought by the many fireworks that took off into the sky, Gu Zhanqiao's closed eyes were reflected in Mo Tongtong's eyes.

It was obviously a familiar enough face, but at this moment every inch of skin and bone on it still affected every breath of her.

It's as if they're connected by blood, as if they're part of each other's lives—

Or this is the truth.

She was immersed in Gu Zhanqiao's breathing, as if breathing in volatile alcohol. The uncontrollable drunkenness made her lose the ability to continue thinking.

All she thought was that this person was standing in front of me, and I loved her.

She lowered her head and printed her lips on the other's lips.

It's not that he didn't remember that Lu Sanbao and Feng Jiang were nearby.

It's just because of the situation and the situation, she wants to do it.

So everything is soft and warm, crisp/numb to the bone, all of which are caused by love, and it is a matter of course.

……

Feng Jiang was about to call Gu Zhanqiao loudly as he wanted to report that the fireworks had run out.

Lu Sanbao staggered Feng Jiang who was about to turn back, and pressed his head to make him look at the river.

The dark river surface is flashing with the light of fireworks, like a colorful dress.

Before he had time to ask what was the matter, he heard Lu Sanbao sigh deeply and say, "I really want to smoke a cigarette..."

The bright and colorful flames gradually turned into nothingness in the sky,

The sound of fireworks gradually died down.

Another year has passed...
