A Ze's heart suddenly raced; he felt a bit nervous, unsure whether to approach and say hello.
After a moment of hesitation, he slowly walked over.
Xiao You seemed unaware of A Ze's arrival, completely focused on something in the grass.
A Ze reached Xiao You's side and softly asked, "What are you doing?"
Startled, Xiao You turned around and, upon seeing A Ze, broke into a delighted smile.
"A Ze! What are you doing here?"
"I... I was just wandering around," A Ze replied awkwardly.
"Are you catching fireflies?" he asked, noticing the net in Xiao You's hand.
Xiao You nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I want to catch a few fireflies to give to my grandmother."
"To your grandmother?" A Ze asked, puzzled.
Xiao You explained with a smile, "Grandma says fireflies can bring good luck. I want her to be happy every day."
As A Ze looked at Xiao You, a warm feeling surged within him. He thought that this girl was not only lively and cheerful but also kind-hearted and filial.
"Can... can I help you?" A Ze mustered his courage to ask.
Xiao You's eyes lit up. "Sure! Let's catch them together!"
With A Ze's help, catching fireflies became much easier.
Although it was his first time catching fireflies, A Ze was clever and quickly mastered the technique.
He and Xiao You carefully searched for traces of fireflies along the edge of the field, in the grass, and between the rice paddies.
Whenever they discovered a firefly, they would excitedly call out, gently cover it with a net, and then place it into a small transparent glass jar.
The jar had been prepared by Xiao You in advance, filled with some moist soil and a few tender green leaves, creating a cozy little home for the fireflies.
As the sun gradually set, the sky was painted in a brilliant orange-red hue.
The glow of the fireflies also grew brighter.
They danced in the fields like twinkling stars, adorning the beautiful dusk.
Xiao You and A Ze sat side by side on the edge of the field, watching the fluttering fireflies, their faces lit up with joyful smiles.
“A Ze, look how beautiful they are!” Xiao You said softly.
A Ze nodded. “Yes, very beautiful.”
He turned to look at Xiao You.
In the afterglow of the sunset, her face appeared particularly lovely, her eyes sparkling like stars in the sky.
Suddenly, A Ze felt that Xiao You was even more beautiful than the fireflies.
He wanted to say something to her but found himself at a loss for words.
“A Ze,” Xiao You suddenly spoke, “did you know that the light of fireflies is actually a language?”
“Language?” A Ze was a bit surprised.
“Yeah,” Xiao You nodded. “Grandma says that fireflies use different flashing frequencies and brightness to express different meanings.”
“Really?” A Ze found it fascinating.
“Of course it’s true!” Xiao You exclaimed. “Grandma also said that if we observe carefully, we can understand the language of fireflies.”
A Ze looked at the dancing fireflies, trying hard to comprehend their language, but he couldn’t hear anything.
“What are they… saying?” A Ze asked Xiao You.
Xiao You smiled and pointed to a firefly flying towards them. “Look, it’s saying, ‘Hello, new friend!’”
A Ze watched the firefly; it seemed to be winking at him.
Suddenly, he felt as if he truly understood the language of the fireflies.
He smiled, and for the first time since coming to the countryside, it was a genuine smile from his heart.
