90. Fireflies don’t save fools

The starlight in the sky and the fireflies in the mountains make this summer night particularly moving.

"It's time to go back," Gu Heng patted Xiao Yunxia on the head, "otherwise your grandma should be worried."

"Okay." The little girl stood up reluctantly, and Lin Yuner helped her pat the dust on her pants.

Xiao Yunxia held Gu Heng with her left hand and Lin Yun'er with her right hand, walking along the mountain road towards her home.

"Brother Gu Heng, are you leaving soon?"

"Huh? Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I saw the train tickets bought by brother Gao Yan two days ago." Xiao Yunxia sounded a little disappointed.

"Yes," Gu Heng nodded slightly without denying it, "Can I keep it secret for my brother and Sister Run'e?"

"Yeah," she nodded with a wrinkled face, and suddenly said with hope, "When I grow up, I will come and play with you, okay?"

"Okay, I'll ask Sister Run'e to reimburse you for the air ticket to Seoul when the time comes." Gu Heng responded with a chuckle.

Lin Yuner kicked him lightly, "I haven't asked you to reimburse me for the air tickets yet."

Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Yunxia grinned, "But brother Gu Heng, if you leave, Zhiyan will be very sad."

"Zhiyan?" Gu Heng was slightly stunned and asked hesitantly, "Are you talking about the little girl in your class?"

He can naturally remember the names of the children in the class he teaches, but he is a little confused about the basis of Xiao Yunxia's words.

"Yes." Xiao Yunxia covered her mouth and smiled.

"Why do you say that?" Gu Heng's curiosity deepened.

"I know this." Lin Yuner suddenly interrupted.

"Um?"

"Because the little girl has reserved a seat for someone's girlfriend." As he said this, Lin Yoona rolled her eyes at him.

She still remembered the inexplicable promise she made a few days ago.

"Girlfriend's seat? Me?"

After reacting for a while, Gu Heng finally understood what she meant and couldn't help laughing, "No, this is nothing."

"I have the nerve to laugh, but I don't feel guilty about it." Lin Yuner snorted.

"I" Gu Heng was speechless for a moment.

"Brother Gu Heng, have you rejected many people's confessions?" Xiao Yunxia approached him and asked in a low voice.

The summer night was quiet, and every word of the little girl's words fell into her ears. Lin Yun'er's body froze slightly.

"Why do you ask this?" Gu Heng glanced at the person next to him subconsciously, and his tone was quite embarrassing.

"Because the fireflies haven't left yet," the little girl pointed to the dots of fluorescent lights on the mountains in the distance and seriously suggested, "If Brother Gu Heng feels guilty, you can also make a wish to ask them to forgive you!"

The little girl's thoughts were so clear that Gu Heng fell into deep thought for a moment.

This "them" sounds too strange, right?

Why do I have the inexplicable feeling that an emotional cheat has finally repented?

Gu Heng was about to hit the girl on the head to sternly refuse, but he suddenly stopped when his hand was halfway out.

As if remembering something, he stared at the dots of fireflies in the distance for a while.

Seeing his sudden daze, Lin Yoona blinked.

"Let's go," Gu Heng came back to his senses and grabbed the little girl's shoulders, "If you keep chatting here randomly, your grandma should be worried."

While being pushed forward by Gu Heng, the little girl tried her best to turn her head and asked him, "So, brother Gu Heng, did you make a wish just now?"

"Children should stop asking around about adults' matters."

Gu Heng mentioned the sentence he hated hearing the most when he was a child.

The little girl was sent back to the small village by the two of them, and her grandmother had already been waiting at the door of the house.

"Grandma, we're back." Gu Heng called to the old man sitting on the couch at the door.

"Just come back." Grandma Yunxia smiled, hugged the little girl who had just jumped into her arms, and said to the two of them, "Just stay at home tonight, the mountain road is not easy to walk at night."

Gu Heng and Lin Yuner looked at each other and did not refuse, "Okay, then I won't bother you tonight."

"No need to bother me," the old man said, feeling relieved, smiling and nodding, "Then I'll go make the bed for you two."

"No, we can just clean up ourselves. You can take Xiao Yunxia to rest early," Gu Heng stopped the old man, "This is not the first time I have lived here, so you don't have to worry."

"Okay, then I won't make any more trouble," Grandma Yunxia patted the back of Gu Heng's hand, "After cleaning up, go to bed early. Grandma will make porridge for you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, good night grandma." Gu Heng agreed with a smile and sent the old man and the little girl back to the house.

Because volunteers came to stay from time to time in the past, there was always an empty bedroom in Xiao Yunxia's home.

In addition to an ordinary single bed, there is also a folding camp bed in the bedroom, which is just enough for two people to sleep.

Taking out the folding bed from the corner, Gu Heng was about to carry it to the main room when Lin Yuner, who was making the bed with her back to him, suddenly made a sound.

"You can sleep here."

"Um?"

"It's ventilated in the main room, but it's cold in the mountains at night." Lin Yuner said this.

"Oh, okay." After hesitating, Gu Heng placed the folding bed by the glass window farthest from her bed.

After cleaning up briefly, Gu Heng looked at her, "Then should I turn off the light?"

"Um."

Snap, the lights in the slightly shabby bedroom went out, and the moonlight and starlight quietly fell in through the window.

After tossing and turning for a while, Lin Yuner turned sideways and looked towards the window.

"Do you recognize the bed?" Gu Heng heard her voice.

"No," Lin Yuner subconsciously pulled the quilt to her face, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed, "I just can't sleep."

"oh"

"Gu Heng." Lin Yuner called him.

"Um?"

"Did you make a wish just now?" She tried to make her tone as natural as possible.

"Make a wish?"

"I just saw you in a daze and fooling Xiao Yunxia."

"Actually, it's nothing, I just remembered something." Gu Heng paused, "You seem to have asked me about this once before."

"Huh?" Lin Yuner's breath shortened, and her hands under the quilt clenched tightly, "Are you there?"

"Yes," Gu Heng smiled and looked at the sky outside the window. His tone was full of memories, "Sunny asked me when was the first time I accepted a confession."

"Oh, I seem to have an impression."

"Actually, it's not a complicated matter," Gu Heng said slowly while recalling, "Do you have any impression that when we were in junior high school and high school, if we were pursuing a boy or a girl, we would always take advantage of recess or whatever?

Sneak food, such as snacks and milk, under the other person's table."

"Um"

"Anyway, some people will give me such things, but usually I will just put them back in the corridor outside the classroom and wait for the person who gave them to take them back."

"But for a period of time, Zhien's family had some financial problems, and it was difficult to eat enough."

"It would be fine if I just sent snacks, but one day, I don't know who it was, and suddenly sent a kimbap." Gu Heng coughed awkwardly, "Anyway, I'm ashamed. All those kimbap went to Zhien and Zhong.

Xun Xun's belly. Later, I thought that I had nothing to repay him, so I kept waiting for the girl to confess to me, but my father suddenly found me at that time."

"That's probably it," Gu Heng exhaled and added, "Well, don't tell Sunny and the others about this, otherwise I will definitely be laughed at."

But Lin Yoona did not respond to his request for help. Instead, she remained silent for a moment and suddenly asked,

"So, why did you choose that kimbap? Is there anything special about it?"

"Huh?" Gu Heng replied subconsciously, "It's nothing special. It's just rice carbs, which is more filling than those snacks."

Lin Yoona took a deep breath and resisted the urge to hold the quilt and suffocate someone here.

Because it’s quite full

Okay, very good.

"Are you OK?"

Her sudden silence made Gu Heng a little worried.

".I'm fine." Lin Yuner's whole head shrank into the quilt, her voice was muffled.

There was another moment of silence.

"You, move the bed over."

"Um?"

"That window also leaks air, stupid."

There are some fools that even fireflies cannot save.
