In a reed field in the southwest corner of the city is a well-known slum.
This is also where I grew up.
The reed field was full of garbage, and I kept looking for a faint ray of light in the moist soil.
I don't know why fireflies like to live in reed beds of rotting soil, just as I don't know why.
I am so shabby, but I just like her who is out of my reach.
That day I stood outside the Jiang family villa for a long time with Firefly.
For a long, long time...
The place was packed with guests and brightly lit, but I didn't even have the courage to go in.
I thought I would wait until the crowd dispersed, then go in and give out the gifts and then leave.
I can't go in now, I don't want to embarrass her.
I waited for a long time, and the guests in the villa came out one after another. I hid in a corner alone and met classmates one after another.
The other students may not have seen me hiding in the shadows, or they may have seen me but didn’t want to pay attention to me.
Until the last time I accidentally bumped into that girl, she saw me from a distance.
She even got out of the car to ridicule me.
I knew what she meant, so I bent over and walked towards a corner.
"Yun Qian, are you here to give a gift too?" She had a smile on her face, and I knew she definitely had no good intentions in her heart.
I didn't want to pay any attention to her and secretly hoped that she would leave quickly.
"You are the only one who comes to give gifts. I don't know how you managed to get into such a big villa area?" She looked at me with a sidelong glance while speaking.
I still kept my head down and didn't want to say anything.
She reached out to grab the glass bottle from my hand, but I just squatted down and protected the bottle.
She said with disdain: "What good things can you give? Do you think Miss Jiang will appreciate it?"
She turned around, seeming a little annoyed because she couldn't snatch what I had.
The moment she got in the car, I heard a deep male voice coming from the car: "Don't get along with people like this, they will lower your status."
She looked at me with contempt, then snuggled up in the middle-aged man's arms.
"Okay, Dad."
I waited the whole night, but the lights in the villa area didn't go out.
It was not until the sky was slightly bright that I dragged my tired body towards the school step by step.
It was not until many years later that I realized that people living in the villa area did not turn off the lights outside the villa yards at night.
Watching the light of the firefly in my hand go out little by little, it was like the light in my heart that had just been silent for a while, being drowned out little by little.
After that night, I made a secret pact with myself. I would never get close to her again.
Unexpectedly, on the fifth day after I deliberately ignored her, she cornered me.
The girl's shoulder-length black hair shone in the sun, and she confined me in a corner of the playground.
In physical education class, everyone was playing their own sports and no one cared about me being stuck in the corner.
"Why are you hiding from me?"
"No……"
Thinking about it later, this explanation at that time seemed a bit lacking in confidence.
"Aren't you hiding from me?" The girl's voice was drawn out and had a teasing tone.
“No…no.”
"Where's my birthday present?"
I felt even more guilty because the jar that once contained fireflies was still hidden deep inside my desk.
"I didn't prepare any gifts. I...can't afford them."
Poverty has always been the most embarrassing topic in my youth, but I still say it frankly today.
"Really? Look at this." She held up her cell phone and placed it in front of me.
The surveillance camera in front of the villa captured my awkward figure clearly, and my little thoughts were completely exposed in front of her.
"Where is my firefly?" She stretched out her hand to ask me for it.
I lowered my head and dared not say a word.
"Well...the fireflies are gone, can you give me something else as compensation?" She moved closer to me.
I nodded and asked her: "What do you want?"
"I want you. Do you like me?" She suddenly came closer to me, and I couldn't avoid her kiss on the cheek.
"You you you...I I I..."
"Don't like me?" The girl smiled with a hint of amusement.
I still didn't dare to say anything, for fear that this was just a little game she played to kill time when she was bored.
"If you don't refuse, that means you like me." She hugged me tighter and tighter.
"You really don't like it?" She said as she moved closer to me.
I was unsettled by her sudden breath and subconsciously spoke out my true feelings.
"I like it...I like it."
The girl showed a smug smile on her face and took my hand domineeringly, but her tone was affectionate.
"You're the only person I've ever met who's willing to put in the effort for me."
I secretly said in my heart: You are the best person I have ever met, and you are worth all my efforts.
We started dating secretly without telling anyone, she would bring me breakfast. She was bossy but she would also act like a spoiled brat in front of me.
Later, we finally waited for differentiation. Differentiation is the peak period of breakup. As long as two people differentiate into one sexual characteristic, the ending is breakup without exception.
The day I found out that we both differentiated into Alphas, I locked myself in the room and refused to come out.
I used a knife to cut my glands like crazy. I hate it! Why should I be classified as an Alpha? I would rather be an Omega for her.
But she didn't want me to hurt myself, so she and her sister secretly switched gender lists.
She was willing to pretend to be an Omega for me. From that day on, I decided to treat her sister as my own.
