Chapter 9: Glimmer

"I don't want to go home too early, I'll just go for a walk." Tang Song didn't say anything in the end, just looked at the sunset in a daze,

"What about you?"

"I skipped class," Yuan Qing said with a sigh,

"If you're in a bad mood, you come out and play." After a long time, Tang Song asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?" Normally, you don't. Yuan Qing shook his head and said, "You'll know when you grow up." ”

"But I've grown up, and I'm no longer a child."

“…… At least in some ways I feel like you are. Yuan Qing picked up the ball and threw it, the same three-point shot as usual, but it was smeared with a soft glow by the setting sun.

"Song Song, go home, don't think about those things that make you feel bad." Yuan Qing continued to play ball with himself, and did not take another look at Tang Song, so Tang Song walked towards the school gate.

"Brother Yuanqing!" Tang Song suddenly turned around.

"Huh?"

"Thank you......" Tang Song's faint smile bloomed, Yuan Qing only felt dizzy, but he didn't know if it was because of the sunset or because of Tang Song.

After Tang Song's figure disappeared from sight, Yuan Qing threw down the ball and sat aside.

"Song Song, don't you know why I'm in a bad mood?" Yuan Qing took a sip of water and leaned against the wall,

"It's weird, what's wrong with me?" Yuan Qing smiled. Maybe Yuan Qing still hasn't admitted his intentions, but his mind is full of Tang and Song's smiles, and he has to admit it.

When the bell rang, Yuan Qing wiped his sweat, went back to the classroom to get his things, and glanced back at the basketball court at sunset among the classmates who hurried home, and went home with Yuan Ming.

"You seem to be in a bad mood," Yuan Ming said to Yuan Qing,

"You've been like this for the past few days, and it's easy to get sick if you're in a bad mood."

"I'm fine!" Yuan Qing pretended to be relaxed and said. Of course, Yuan Ming knew that Yuan Qing was pretending to be fine, but he still changed the topic: "...... Is the sunset pretty? Yuan Qing glanced at the sunset that was about to disappear completely, and said: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk - but you are a big man to see the sunset, it is better to play games." Yuan Ming looked at Yuan Qing and said, "Okay, go home and do your homework." The remnant sun used the last of its rays to stretch the brothers' figures very long, silently waiting for them to return home.

It was late at night, Yuan Qing had just finished his homework, and Yuan Ming was sleeping soundly, so Yuan Qing stood on the balcony and looked at the stars.

"The light of the stars is faint, but even a little glimmer can illuminate the darkness." Yuan Qing remembered a sentence that he saw out of nowhere.

"It's not your way to stay up in the middle of the night and look at the stars." Yuan Ming's voice sounded, almost scaring Yuan Qing.

"What's wrong with me being breathable?" Yuan Qing glared at his brother. Yuan Ming stood beside Yuan Qing, looked up at a little glimmer, and said, "It's been a long time since we've looked at the stars together." Yuan Qing was silent.

Yuan Ming then said, "Is it useful for you to keep thinking about her like this? She doesn't have to think about you, so it's no good. You are the night, but she is not necessarily your bright moon, do you want to be Li Bai who fished for the moon and died? ”

"I don't want the bright moon, I just want a little glimmer of the stars!" Yuan Qing thought in his heart, but the tip of his tongue changed: "Li Bai didn't necessarily die from fishing for the moon, at least I believe that he drank too much, and you are so romantic." Yuan Ming stopped talking, looked at the stars for a while, and yawned: "Go to sleep, otherwise we will all be sleepy in class tomorrow." Yuan Qing nodded and went back to his room to sleep.

The curtain next door flickered and flickered, and finally, the last glimmer of light dimmed.
