Chapter 352 The moonlight is so beautiful tonight
The sky above my head suddenly turned red.
Li Mu turned around and saw a fire burning on the other side of the mountain top. The sound of children shouting could be heard faintly from the villages halfway up the mountain and at the foot of the mountain.
Soon, the adults' scolding was heard again.
Mixed with the laughter of children.
Tonight seems to be particularly lively.
"It must be those kids just now!"
Brother Nan looked at the fire in the distance and laughed, "At first they wanted to burn the firewood pile over here, but we scared them away. They were unwilling to give up, so they ran over there to burn it."
"How do you know what they're thinking?"
"I was like this when I was a kid." Brother Nan reacted immediately, his eyes widened, "You are mocking me!"
"No."
"Oh!"
"It won't catch fire over there, will it?" Li Mu pretended to rub his chest.
"No, didn't I tell you that there is nothing flammable on this mountain? Besides, the weather is so cold."
"Oh."
As the two were talking, footsteps were heard on the dirt path leading to the top of the mountain. A short while later, two villagers came up with flashlights.
When they saw the two people, they were stunned for a moment.
"Uncle, we are here to set off fireworks." Brother Nan greeted with a smile and pointed to the firewood pile nearby. "You saw the fire on the mountain and came to see if your firewood pile was burning, right?"
"Yes, I wonder whose child is so naughty!" the uncle sighed.
"Are you from a village nearby? You look unfamiliar." asked another uncle.
"Yeah, we're from Wanwantou over there." Brother Nan pointed in a random direction. "Just now a few kids came here to burn the firewood, but I scared them away."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Children are naughty. Fortunately, we can burn anything on this mountain without causing a fire."
"Yes, it's just a waste of firewood." The uncle shook his head, "Are you college students?"
"No, I'm 28."
"Oh? You look like you're only in your early 20s. Are you this old?"
"Yes, but they are smaller in size."
“That’s you.”
"It's my brother."
"I look like one, too."
"That's it!"
Brother Nan let out a taunting laugh again.
After chatting for a while, the two villagers went down the mountain.
When they disappeared into the darkness in the distance, Li Mu spoke up: "You are 28?"
"What's the matter?"
"Is it fun to act like a big sister?"
"It's fun!" Brother Nan grinned, "Good brother! Come and call me sister!"
"."
"Why aren't you home so late? What did you tell your aunt?"
"Just say it and let me set off fireworks with you."
"Oh~"
"What did you say to your family?" Li Mu asked back.
"Just like you, saying that I went out to set off fireworks with a stupid little brother."
"."
It's not even the fifteenth day of the first lunar month yet, and there's only a half moon hanging in the sky.
But somehow, the moon tonight seems brighter than the full moon on the 15th, and the bright moonlight makes the top of the mountain look like daytime.
After eating the yogurt, I took a walk on the top of the mountain and played with mice to help digest the food.
The two of them also sat on the top of the mountain, looking at the pile of firewood that was still burning in the distance, chatting with each other, talking about everything, as if they had both forgotten that the night was gradually deepening.
Even though the night sky has become quiet, the most playful children are urged by their adults to go home.
Li Mu thought that perhaps many years later, he would still remember this night, and even think of it every time there was a moonlit night.
The firewood pile gradually burned down and only a pile of ashes emitting dark red light remained.
"It's past twelve."
Nan looked up at the moon and then at the time. She felt the chill of midnight in the first month of the lunar year. She hugged her arms and shivered twice, not knowing whether she wanted to dispel the chill or the shyness in her heart: "It's the eighth day of the first lunar month."
"Yeah." Li Mu nodded, "It seems like today is the day when all companies go to work."
"Our vacation is long, until the 16th day of the first lunar month."
"Yeah." "It's the New Year before the first month of the lunar year, so the New Year isn't over yet." Brother Nan changed the topic casually, but his heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably.
"Ah."
"I don't think I've given you a New Year's present yet."
"No need." Li Mu said, he didn't care about that.
"No, this is the first New Year we spend together." Brother Nan said very seriously, "It is very memorable."
"That's it"
Li Mu nodded, thinking that what Brother Nan said made sense.
“In order to make this memorable New Year even more memorable.”
Brother Nan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I decided to give you a New Year's gift."
"What gift?" Li Mu looked at Brother Nan in confusion.
"Don't ask."
"Oh."
Li Mu's doubts grew even stronger, but he chose to obey and not ask, "Thank you, Brother Nan."
"But you know, I don't like giving gifts to others. I'm too lazy to choose. I don't want to receive gifts from others, and I'm too lazy to give gifts in return."
Brother Nan has a carefree personality, "Sending things around like a woman."
"Ok, I know."
"So you close your eyes."
"Ok?"
"Be obedient, be obedient."
Li Mu looked very surprised. He thought he knew Brother Nan quite well, but this was not in line with Brother Nan's character.
Glance upward.
Brother Nan's ahoge was faintly visible in the moonlight.
Glance down.
Brother Nan has put his hands into the pockets of his down jacket, as if he is taking something out.
It seems that a gift was really prepared for him, but judging from the flatness of the pocket, it should be a small gadget - a seemingly ordinary gadget is more in line with Brother Nan's personality.
Maybe he saw some silly little toy on TikTok and bought it for him.
Li Mu quietly curled the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes obediently.
Suddenly, the wind blew beside my face.
The breeze, with heat and fragrance
"Bah!"
Something soft was imprinted on his face, and with a slight smacking sound, it separated immediately.
Li Mu opened his eyes quickly as if he had been electrocuted.
Brother Nan's face was more than a foot away from him, but she was still smacking her lips, which meant that it was not his illusion just now.
Moreover, there was an expression of embarrassment on Brother Nan's face, but he was trying hard to pretend to be calm and casual.
"Ahem, this is Brother Nan's New Year's gift to you."
Brother Nan cleared his throat and pretended to be particularly heroic, "Don't panic."
"This..." Li Mu was stunned for a moment.
"What's the matter?"
"emm"
"Do you want to return the gift?"
"No, no!" Li Mu looked away awkwardly.
"Hesitating and stammering," Brother Nan said with some disdain. Look how generous she is. "Get up, pick up the trash and go home!"
"Oh."
Li Mu quickly got up from the ground, his butt was already cold.
He subconsciously picked up the garbage on the picnic blanket, feeling his mind was confused and a little blank, as if he had lost the ability to think.
Ten minutes later.
Sister Nan walked in the front, going down the mountain along the dirt path, but her steps became hurried involuntarily, so she could only deliberately control her speed.
Li Mu followed silently behind, holding the cat.
The bright moon ran from the horizon to the top of my head, still casting moonlight as clear and silver as water, very cool.
The kitten lay obediently in his arms, looking up at him, its amber eyes reflecting the moonlight, so beautiful.
Li Mu lowered his head, looked at the cat, and then raised his head again.
I just feel that the moonlight is so beautiful tonight.
