"Really?" Li Xiyue asked, her eyes slightly flushed and misty, her voice soft and sweet. "Could I possibly compare to such a beautiful night?"
Chu Xun felt a surge of excitement. Looking at her slender, fair fingers, he had an urge to hold them, but out of respect for her, he restrained himself.
He said softly, "Of course, it's even better."
"Brother Chu is usually so upright, yet he can be so sweet-talking," Li Xiyue said with a smile.
Under the cover of night, his features softened, and his eyebrows and eyes looked even more handsome.
It has to be said that Chu Xun's appearance is impeccable; he's very pleasing to the eye.
Considering he wasn't young anymore, she asked, "Are you married?"
"No," Chu Xun said seriously.
Doesn't she know he's single?
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Li Xiyue asked again.
Chu Xun shook his head, "I'm not married, I don't have a girlfriend, I'm currently single."
"With your qualities, you should have no trouble finding a partner, so why are you still single?" Li Xiyue asked curiously.
Chu Xun stared at her intently. "I haven't met a girl I like."
"You must have very high standards, right?"
He must come from a good family, be good-looking, and talented. Someone as outstanding as him would probably have high standards when looking for a partner.
Chu Xun said, "It's not high, as long as you like it."
"So what kind do you like? Let me introduce some to you?" Li Xiyue said.
Chu Xun clenched his fists, looked at her for a long time, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Someone like you."
Li Xiyue's red lips parted slightly, her eyes wide open, "You like younger girls?"
Chu Xun: "..."
"Yueyue, look." Suddenly, Huang Xinrui rushed in from outside the courtyard, clenching her fists as she approached Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue looked up. "What?"
Huang Xinrui's eyes sparkled as she smiled and opened her fist.
A tiny, twinkling insect flew up from my palm.
"What's this?" Li Xiyue stared in disbelief. "A firefly?"
Huang Xinrui nodded, "Yes, there are so many over in the fields!"
"Take me to see it quickly!" Li Xiyue stood up excitedly.
Fireflies disappeared in later generations, and she never saw one in her entire life, only seeing pictures of them in books. She always longed to see these insects whose bottoms glowed.
Huang Xinrui pulled her out the door, and Xiaobai excitedly followed.
Chu Xun was left sitting at the table, gazing helplessly at the sky.
Arriving at the edge of the field, looking into the distance, one could see clusters of fireflies twinkling like stars in the sky.
Li Xiyue exclaimed, "Nature is truly amazing!"
"Yueyue, shall we catch some and put them in the house for lighting?" Huang Xinrui was also very excited.
There were no fireflies in the city. The weather was cold before, so the fireflies didn't come out either. This was the first time she had ever seen fireflies.
Li Xiyue nodded in agreement, and the two of them rushed back to the educated youth settlement to get a canned jar. They caught some fireflies, put them in the glass jar, and carried it back to the settlement. They placed it on the table, and the light inside could indeed illuminate the table.
"So beautiful," Li Xiyue exclaimed again.
With starlight, fireflies, friends, a safe place to live, and her family member Xiaobai, she feels she has no regrets in life.
Looking at the smiling girl, Chu Xun felt that she was a girl who was easily satisfied. She could be happy and content with the smallest things, and he liked her even more.
After Wang Jiaxing finished cleaning up the kitchen, he came over to look and said, "Why are you all acting like children?"
Only children in the village catch fireflies; their actions are no different from those of children.
“We are children after all.” Huang Xinrui made a face at him.
Wang Jiaxing's lips twitched. "An eighteen-year-old kid, so shameless."
"Hahaha..." The four of them laughed heartily, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely pleasant.
