"Don't be verbose, open it quickly!" Song Rui urged.

"Hey, hey, I just said that this wine is suitable for autumn!" Tao Ran squinted at Song Rui, "Do you want to slap your face so quickly, the words haven't cooled yet!" ”

"Hmph, Sangluo or something, I can make it too!" A voice next to him said suddenly.

Song Rui was not convinced at the time, this was won by his hard work (it was Abel who won!). He looked back and saw no one ...... Well, at the foot, "What, it's Carly!" ”

Carly saw Song Rui turn around, swooped behind Rand, grabbed his leg and showed a little head, "Sister Nicole's wine is the best!" But Carly won't lose either! ”

"And how does your wine compare to Nicole's?" Song Rui is obviously deliberately teasing this little girl.

"En......" The little girl immediately became entangled, looked to the left, and then looked to the right, unable to make up her mind, "Sister Nicole is the best!" But Carly won't lose either! ”

"As a result, do you still think about this sentence for a long time?" Tao Ran smiled, and Song Rui and the others also laughed.

Carly was unhappy, her face turned red, although she looked more cute, but she was really angry, "Carly will be very powerful in the future!" Carly is also very good now, Carly is going to make wine, you will all say it is delicious! ”

After saying that, he stomped his foot and ran away without looking back.

"Uh...... Are we going too far? Tao Ran stretched out his index finger and scratched his forehead, "I'll go and see, don't anything happen." ”

…………

Carly wasn't in a good mood, not because of the good-natured laughter, but because of ...... The existence of that group of people.

She understood that none of those people were bad people, even the scary skeletons were not bad people, but they wanted to take Sister Nicole, she ...... I don't want to be separated from Sister Nicole.

She remembered that when Sister Nicole was often in a daze, she said that she longed for the starry sky.

"Sister Nicole, what are you looking at?" Carly asked, seeing Nicole staring at the sky in a daze under the eaves.

"Darkness, and light......" Nicole's voice was soft and faint.

Carly wondered, "Is it the light of the dome?" ”

"No, not the light of the dome." Nicole rubbed Carly's little head, her soft blonde hair was smooth and silky, and it felt very good, "It's above the dome, through the deep, deep darkness, there will be light, some very bright, some dim. ”

Carly looked up, trying to imagine a very different light from the dome, "The light above the head of the ugly fish?" ”

Nicole knew that the ugly fish Carly was referring to was the deep-sea anglerfish, and she chuckled, it was indeed ugly, "Does Carly want to know what's on the surface of the sea?" ”

"Yes!" Carly nodded her little head, maybe knowing what was on the surface of the sea, she could understand how Sister Nicole felt.

"I've only heard some things from Master, but I haven't seen them myself, so if I have the chance, I really want to go and see it!" Nicole laughed, "The outside world is very vast, as if there are no boundaries, there are days full of light, and there are deep nights. ”

"Is it dark?" Carly shrank and said, she didn't want to admit that she was afraid of the dark, she would definitely not be afraid when she grew up!

Nicole was amused by her reaction, "Carly don't be afraid, even if it's night, there will be a lot of light, starlight, moonlight...... No matter how the darkness spreads, there will be these lights that will illuminate the night sky. Like in a desperate place in the world, there is always hope, even if that hope is as faint as the stars. ”

"Hope?" Carly was a little confused.

"Well, hope, people who have hope will not be lonely."

"Are the stars hope?" Carly tilted her head, her voice soft and cute.

"For some it is hope, for others it may be a signpost, a wish, a puzzle to be solved, a fortune...... There are various legends about the stars, and some people say that every star in the sky corresponds to a person below, and I don't know what my star will be like, so I really want to see it! Starry sky! ”

"Heavenly? Will there be so many stars in the sky? Carly's eyes also had a hint of yearning in her eyes.

"Well, many, many, countless stars form a starry sky, a galaxy, a sea of stars...... It must be very vast, very spectacular. Nicole touched Carly's head, and the shallow curvature of the corners of her mouth was extremely moving.

Carly's pace slowed down, Sister Nicole's eyes seemed to be glowing and shining when she talked about the starry sky, if there really was a starry sky, it must be as beautiful as Sister Nicole's eyes.

And now, Sister Nicole has the opportunity to look up at the vast starry sky and embrace the world of infinite possibilities, she ...... Do you want to stop it?

"Carly~" was Sister Ranran's voice, and Carly stopped.

"Running so fast, little girl!" Tao Ran stopped in front of Carly, took a breath, stretched out his fingers and flicked her forehead, it didn't hurt, but it inexplicably made Carly's eyes red.

Tao Ran looked at Carly's eyes and panicked instantly, "What's wrong Carly, my sister hurt you?" I'm sorry, I'm going to blow it~"

Tao Ran exhaled softly on her forehead, the soft breath brushing on her skin, but it made Carly's tears even more turbulent, "Wow-"

Tao Ran was a little in a hurry, put aside the small snacks that he brought to Carly, hugged her and kept comforting, looking at little Carly who was crying, Tao Ran vaguely understood the reason why she was crying.

"Good Carly, don't cry, don't cry~" Under Tao Ran's comfort, Carly's crying finally weakened, but she was still sobbing and burping, a little out of breath.

"Don't take Sister Nicole away......" Carly felt a little sore in her heart when she said this, she knew very well that Sister Nicole would leave, even if not now, but in the future. And I have already accepted this fact in my heart, so I will cry, right?

"Be sure to be good to Sister Nicole, don't bully Sister Nicole! Sister Nicole's cooking is delicious, her body is very fragrant, she speaks very gently, she laughs beautifully, and the wine is delicious......" Carly was a little incoherent, "Be sure to take Sister Nicole to see the sea of stars, go to many, many fun places, if ......"

Sister Nicole used to always say that she was still a child, and she didn't understand why she was still being said to be a child when she was growing up day by day? She tried to look more mature, trying to get Sister Nicole to say, 'My little Carly has grown up.'" But it wasn't until today that she understood that maybe the meaning of maturity is to be able to think about others, even if it is uncomfortable, she can learn to accept it.

Maturity is not indifferent and willful, not freewheeling, not sophisticated and tactful, but becoming more gentle, to people and the world, is to ignore their own hearts, just to make that person happy. The process of growing up is always accompanied by a vague pain and a sense of self-transcendence, Carly is only eleven years old, and she uses a cry to say goodbye to her past wayward self, and there will be no time in the future.

"If Sister Nicole misses me, be sure to bring her back!" Carly added, choking up.

"Yes." Tao Ran answered one by one, seeing the figure behind Carly, smiling, I am afraid that I will have to come again in three years, but having said that, she did not feel any regret or hesitation at all.
