At night, it's so quiet and comfortable.
The two of them strolled under the orange-red light, their figures getting longer and longer, gradually blending into the comfortable black surrounding them.
"Your three sisters are so cute! Why are there so many children in your family?"
"Don't ask, asking is setting."
"It would be nice if I had younger siblings too."
"What's so good? I'm annoying you to death."
"You are surrounded by blessings and don't know how to be blessed." Xing Biqi held Chen Yu's wrist and said softly: "Actually, I'm quite envious of you. Your uncles and aunts are so sensible, and your sisters are considerate. We are really a happy family."
"Hehehe..." Chen Yu sneered: "This family is not as normal as you see."
"... How can you talk like this!" Xing Biqi pinched the soft flesh of Chen Yu's waist in feint of anger.
"..." Chen Yu was indifferent: "Why are you touching me?"
"You...don't you feel pain?"
"It won't hurt if you pinch me with pliers."
"Amazing..." The girl was surprised: "I didn't expect that your whole body is as thick-skinned as you are."
"...You're going to get beaten."
"Hee." Xing Biqi stuck out his tongue: "Then come and fight."
"No, you are a rich woman now, and I don't want to work hard anymore. I have to have a good relationship with you."
Hearing this, the girl immediately became depressed: "Speaking of which, sometimes I feel that your attitude towards me has changed."
"Changed? Why?"
"You don't like me as much as you did before."
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why did you say that?"
"Before, you bullied me every day and even attacked me. But now... you don't even say harsh words to me."
"?"
"Did I do something wrong?" Xing Biqi raised his head and stared at Chen Yu eagerly: "You can just tell me, and I will change it."
Chen Yu also stared at Xing Biqi eagerly: "???"
"Why are not you talking?"
"No...I don't know what to say..." He stretched out his hand and touched the girl's forehead: "If you must say something, I would like to suggest that you see a psychiatrist."
"Disgusting~"
Xing Biqi rolled her eyes charmingly, Chen Yu was shocked and suddenly felt dull.
"By the way, I've gone this far, where are you taking me?"
"Small forest." Chen Yu said concisely.
The girl's face suddenly turned red: "It's...it's too cold, why not go to the hotel..."
"Why are we going to the hotel? Let's go to the woods."
"Won't it be cold?"
"Wear clothes, what are you afraid of?"
"You...do you like this..."
"What do you mean I like this?" Chen Yu was confused: "It's such a cold day, why don't you freeze to death if you don't wear clothes?"
"Okay..." Xing Biqi buried her head on Chen Yu's not broad shoulders, and said in a voice as fine as fine lines, "I will listen to you."
"?"
…
Along the straight street, the two of them soon arrived at the People's Square together.
Under the street lights, you can still see a few young people having snowball fights.
"There are still people playing at this late hour."
"Because the warm spring is coming soon." Xing Biqi bent down and picked up a snowball from the ground: "Shall we have a snowball fight? When the temperature rises and the snow melts, there will be no chance to play again."
"What's the point of having a snowball fight?" Chen Yu led the girl towards the grove behind the square: "Now I'll show you what's really fun."
The girl threw away the snowball, lowered her head, and gently pinched the corner of her clothes: "It's the first time outside... it's too much."
"What are you mumbling about?"
"No...nothing."
Bypassing the large billboard and passing through the cobblestone path between two rockeries, Chen Yu led Xing Biqi straight into the snow-covered woods and drilled deep into the depths.
Xing Biqi kept his head down from beginning to end, biting his lips, slowly took out a Durex product from his bag, and took a deep breath: "Okay..."
"arrive."
Chen Yu stopped.
"Come...come." The girl closed her eyes tightly.
"Take off your clothes."
"Will it be cold?"
"No, it will warm up after a while."
"Hmm~" Xing Biqi squeezed out a sound from his throat, then unbuttoned his down jacket and raised his head at the same time: "Dear, I brought a safety... Ang? Why is there a door?!"
"Isn't it normal to have an ordinary door in the woods?"
"That's not normal at all!"
"What's that in your hand?"
"Ah? This... nothing!" The girl immediately hid the items in her hands behind her back.
"Bubble gum?"
"Yes...yes."
"Give me one."
"No! It doesn't taste good!" Xing Biqi decisively changed the subject: "What...what's going on with this door? Who opened it?"
"I put it." Taking a step forward, Chen Yu walked to the portal and gently touched the frame: "Do you recognize it? I guess you don't recognize it. Because I have never shown it in this form in front of the camera."
Xing Biqi gradually opened his mouth: "What...what do you mean..."
"Look." Chen Yu stretched out his hand, pointed at a bright planet in the night sky, and asked, "Do you know the name of that star?"
“…”
"do you know?"
"Sky...Sirius..." Xing Biqi covered his mouth and nose with trembling hands to suppress his increasingly rapid breathing.
"It seems that you know a lot about astronomy." Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, that star is called Sirius, and its scientific name is also called Alpha Canis Major. On the earth, apart from the sun, it is the only star we can see. Even the brightest star, including Venus, Mars and other nearby planets, its brightness is not bad at all. So do you know how far away it is from us?"
"8.6 light years."
"Yes, nearly nine light years, such a far distance. But the reality is often very dramatic. If you look at something far away, you may not be able to tell if it is right in front of you."
Drops of crystal tears rolled down.
Her vision was blurred, but the girl still stared closely at Chen Yu's face.
"Why are you crying?"
"I...I don't know either."
"It also has a romantic and beautiful legend. Do you want to listen?"
"want!"
"Now... According to legend, a long time ago, there was an orangutan named Sirius who was pursued by a match girl. But Sirius felt that he was of a different race from the other girl and would not have good results. But he couldn't bear to refuse and hurt her. So, he killed the girl. Sirius knew that the girl was afraid of the dark and was worried that she would not be able to find the way to the underworld, so he lit himself on fire with a match and burned his life."
"God has seen it..." Xing Biqi choked up: "Let Sirius burn even more fiercely, and eventually become the brightest star in the night sky, forever... forever..."
She stepped forward and put her head against Chen Yu's chest, listening to the surging, fierce, blazing heartbeat inside, and whispered: "... I will always burn for that girl."
"Is this story romantic?" Chen Yu smiled like spring.
"Yeah!" The girl nodded heavily.
"Like it?"
"like!"
"Then..." Chen Yu looked at Sirius: "Do you want to go to that star?"
"I want to go."
"Make a wish for it. If Sirius hears your wish, he will grant your wish."
"I have already promised." The girl wiped away the moisture on her face, raised her head, and stared at Chen Yu: "I will never go to that bad place..."
"Unless it's with you..."
