Alexander found it somewhat amusing as he pinched her cheeks and sighed. "Are you silly?"
He said again, "In this kind of place, even if | don't want you, where else can | go?"
Quinn pursed her lips. She couldn't think much. Waking up and not seeing him, her natural first reaction was
feeling abandoned.
Her bright blue eyes stared directly at him, tears hanging at the corners, looking as pitiful as could be.
There was always a magical charm on Quinn's face. A pout from her small mouth could easily dissipate one's
temper.
Alexander gazed at her for a while, then sighed helplessly and pulled her up by the arm.
With Alexander around, the wind seemed to soften, and the bird songs in the branches no longer sounded eerie,
as if singing a lullaby for the birds.
Alexander put his arm around her shoulder; and Quinn nestled tightly in his embrace as they walked through the
bushes.
Quinn had run too deep into the forest. They had been walking for a long tbut still hadn't found their way
out. The trees around them all looked the same; and the canopy overhead was so dense that they couldn't use
the night sky to determine their direction. To put it another way, they were completely lost.
Alexander had only one lighter, which he extinguished after finding Quinn. Now, they were completely blind in
the forest, making it dangerous to proceed.
Alexander was searching for a seemingly safe spot when he suddenly noticed many green glows floating ahead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuinn widened her eyes slowly and joyfully tugged at Alexander's arm.
She recognized them as fireflies. Quinn had never seen fireflies before, only on TV. At this moment, seeing living
fireflies, her heart surged with excitement. She let go of Alexander and ran towards the fireflies.
Alexander cautioned her from behind. "Slow down!"
His first reaction upon seeing the fireflies was not romantic but about water sources. Where there were fireflies,
there should be water sources.
Quinn reached the group of fireflies, the green lights surrounding her, flickering around her.
She joyfully reached out to catch them, but each firefly she caught ended up crushed when she opened her
hand.

Alexander leaned against a nearby tree trunk, watching her dance in the glow. In his tired eyes, a hint of
inadvertent trance crept in.
The grass here wasn't very tall, reaching just up to Quinn's knees. Illuminated by the glow of fireflies, one could
still make out the flowers blooming amidst the grass.
With mist rising in the woods, a faint mist hung in the air, complemented by the large green glows and flowers,
resembling a world from a fairy tale.
Quinn's nightgown was torn; and in the hazy halo, it appeared distant and unreal yet blended with the forest as if
she belonged there.
She seemed like an elf returning to her fairy-tale forest, every expression fitting perfectly. It felt like she could
disappear into the mist at any moment.
Alexander raised his hand to his chest, breathing, pulling at his lungs. He couldn't tell if it was his ribs hurting or
the pain coming from his back.
In a daze, Quinn had already cup to him. She held out her hands, offering them to Alexander. Quinn slowly
opened her palms, and a few fireflies with green light flew out from her hands, dimly illuminating their faces. His
gaze passed through the speckled lights and landed on Quinn's face.

She beamed at him, her smile radiant, her eyes curved, her long hair lifting in the wind.
Alexander's eyes twinkled for a moment, then he extended his hand, gently touching her face.
She held his hand, tilting her head and rubbing it in his palm, a signal of her affection.
Alexander's lips moved slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing.
