They charmed me, striking me with awe as I watched until one firefly before my very eyes vanished in the encroaching night. And gradually, all of the fireflies vanished. Darting shadows gobbled them up. Long glass wings vibrated the air. Dragonflies suddenly flooded the plains, elevating the gentle hum into a deafening, droning thunder surrounding me so thickly I couldn’t see. The peace I once felt in my home was threatened.

I had spent so long trying to open the door. Why hadn’t anyone told me the building closed so early? Some taxis drove past, some with passengers, some without. If luck was on my side, I might catch an empty one. I decided to walk, hoping to flag a taxi along the way. On a dark stretch of road lined with trees and no street lamps, I noticed tiny lights flickering near the ground. Fireflies. I stopped walking and smiled wide, the magical sight lifting my spirits for a moment. Mommy used to say that fireflies were fairies who granted wishes during a full moon. I looked up and clapped my hands in delight—tonight was a full moon, glowing red and mysterious.

Beside a pond in a patch of small forest was a large group of fireflies flashing their lights and dancing happily, forming a beautiful scene. Jian Jianan and Gu Mocheng were surrounded by the glowing fireflies and their hearts skipped a beat for a moment. She wanted to reach out and touch them but was afraid that she might hurt them by accident.
