Gone is the chill and vigilance she felt when she was awake; now, she is as pure and beautiful as an elf fallen to earth.
Jian Yiqiu's gaze was as deep as the sea, churning with complex emotions that were difficult to describe.
He reached out, his fingertips hovering above Xiao Jin's cheek, as if he wanted to touch her, yet was afraid of disturbing this rare moment of peace.
In the end, the fingertips merely brushed a strand of hair that had fallen across Xiao Jin's forehead, the movement as gentle as if handling a rare treasure.
He sat there quietly, watching over and gazing at Xiao Jin's sleeping face.
He gently took off his dark gray suit jacket and carefully draped it over Xiao Jin to shield him from the chill of the night wind.
The Milky Way flows silently overhead, and the flower of light blooms quietly at our feet.
Time seemed to lose its meaning in this secret realm blessed by starlight.
Jian Yiqiu maintained the same posture, like a guardian sculpture, his gaze never leaving Xiao Jin for a moment.
Until the first ray of dawn pierced the deep blue night sky, eclipsing the stars one by one, and gradually merging the light of the flower of light into the morning glow.

If Xiao Jin wasn't mistaken, that thing should be the one she saw last night.
Lifting her suit jacket, Xiao Jin picked up the glass bottle.
The fireflies seemed to be asleep, but when Xiao Jin grasped the bottle, the fireflies inside suddenly began to flap their wings.
Then it awoke from its slumber and emitted a brilliant light.
[Night Firefly: When you're bored, try shaking it; it might bring you a little surprise.]
Xiao Jin paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips as she carefully put the glass bottle into her spatial storage...
