"It's better to take the driveway. There are no lights on the plank road and it's too dangerous."
Ning Xiaofei stretched out her hand and took out a small flashlight from her pocket.
"Deng-deng-deng, look what is this?"
During the day, she heard from the waiter here that fireflies can be seen on the plank road at night, and she wanted to try her luck.
Think about it, it would be just her and him, how romantic it would be if they could meet fireflies!
Of course, this was a small surprise prepared for him, but Ning Xiaofei did not make it clear.
"No, it's too dangerous."
The man spoke firmly.
"Husband-" she shook his arm coquettishly, "let's walk slowly, nothing will happen."
"no."
"I'm going to take the plank road."
Acting coquettishly didn't work, so she started to cheat.
"Xiao Fei, be obedient." He coaxed gently.
She pouted, "But I want to see fireflies!"
firefly
"Why are there fireflies here?"
"There really are!" Ning Xiaofei grabbed his palm, "I heard from the waiter that they are often found on the plank road, and there are many of them. They should be available during this season. Husband, I really want to see them."
Mu Tianye looked at the plank road in front of him in embarrassment, took a breath, and then turned to look at Ning Xiaofei beside him. The girl's eyes were full of anticipation.
He gritted his teeth and nodded slightly.
"Then let's go take a look. If it's difficult to leave, we'll come back right away."
"kindness!"
Ning Xiaofei immediately happily agreed, holding his hand and walking towards the plank road.
At first, the plank roads were all running through the forest. Because there were no street lights, the moonlight fell from the gaps in the leaves above the head, and the ground was covered with silver spots, but it was not dim.
Ning Xiaofei simply turned off the flashlight and walked on the moon with him. The night seemed particularly quiet, and there were insects chirping in the grass at her feet.
In such a cool summer night, there were only the sounds of her and his footsteps.
Holding his hand tightly, she softly hummed an unknown song.
Mu Tianye gradually relaxed and began to enjoy this time with her.
However, the good times did not last long. Soon, the plank road passed through the woods and wound to the side of the mountain. The valley on one side became increasingly steep.
Catching the flash of fluorescent light on the mountainside not far away, Ning Xiaofei clenched his fingers excitedly.
"Honey, look, there are really fireflies."
Beside him, the man responded dryly.
"Really, look!"
Ning Xiaofei quickened her pace and climbed up a few steps without hearing the man's footsteps. She turned around in confusion and saw Mu Tianye leaning on the side of the plank road and squatting down slowly.
Under the bright moonlight, she could clearly see the strange expression on his pale face, as if he had seen something scary.
After knowing him for so long, it was the first time she saw a look of terror on his face.
"Husband?!" Ning Xiaofei exclaimed, hurriedly ran down and held his arm, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine."
The man answered in a low voice, but his voice was dry and astringent, even trembling slightly. She clearly caught the flash of his forehead - he was sweating!
On such a summer night, the coolness in the mountains doesn't mean it's hot at all. It's just sweating.
"Honey, sit down first!" She nervously grabbed his arm and helped him sit on the steps, then reached into his pocket and took out his mobile phone, "I...I'll call someone to come up right away..."
"No!" Mu Tianye reached out and grabbed her palm, "I'm fine, help me to the woods over there."
