Lovely Substitute Bride

Duo Duo opened her eyes in curiosity. Her eyes watched as the faint yellow light slowly flew closer and actually landed on Duo Duo's palm.    

"It's a firefly!" She stared at the firefly.    

Soon after, more and more lights flew out from the depths of the cave and surrounded them like a sea of stars.    

At this time, Duo Duo no longer cared about the firefly that was previously in her hand. She raised her head and looked at the wide cave with wide eyes.    

The cave had been completely illuminated by the fireflies, dispersing all the darkness.    

Fireflies continued to fly out of the cave like a beautiful meteor shower. They circled around them a few times as if they wanted to play with them.    

One after another, the fireflies continued to laugh.    

Luan Zhi looked at the spots of light as bright as the sea of stars before her. Memories from a long time ago surfaced little by little. She had indeed been to this place a long time ago.    

The first time was at America. At that time, she had gone with Min Ann'ge to an almost identical cave. There were also countless fireflies that flew out and danced around them.    

The second time Luan Zhi came to the mainland, because of the matter with Wen Family and Yao Yan, she left home to search for the same firefly, thereby finding this place.    

At that time, the fireflies hadn't hatched yet, so after searching for a while, she still couldn't find the quest, so she finally gave up.    

At that time, she was just a child, not a child.    

But now, Luan Zhi was twenty-five years old, and seven years had passed.    

It was no wonder that even if she had come here earlier, she would not have been able to recall the familiar scenery around her.    

"I said before that I would bring you here."    

At that moment, Min Ann'ge's voice came from behind him.    

Luan Zhi didn't turn around, but the other party had already lifted her up and wrapped her arms around her waist, pulling her into his embrace from behind.    

Luan Zhi didn't struggle, but lowered her gaze a little. He finally understood why Min Ann'ge said he didn't have time to come when he was in the car.    

For the past seven years, Min Ann'ge's heart had been with Wen Tiantian, and he had no place for himself. How could he remember the previous agreement and even bring her here?    

Since he had already forgotten about it for seven years, why would he need to make it up now?    

Min Ann'ge held her from behind and said, "I hope it's not too late yet."    

Luan Zhi's hand clenched into a fist at her side.    

She pursed her lips and said, "It's only been a year since fireflies became adults. Now, seven years later, these fireflies are no longer the same as they were when we first saw them. What's the point of coming here? "    

Luan Zhi frowned as she finished her sentence. She didn't know why she would say such a thing.    

Everything had its own rules. The firefly only has a life cycle of one year, which no one can control at all.    

What's more, she forgot about it herself, so how could she ask Min Ann'ge to remember it all the time?    

But why?    

The reason why he couldn't control himself from saying such harsh words was clearly because he was making a fuss out of nothing.    

Luan Zhi closed her eyes, blaming herself in her heart. She quickly shook her head and got out of Min Ann'ge's embrace.    

"Sorry, I was too impulsive."    

She turned around, smiled at Min Ann'ge and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many fireflies here. I thought that as time goes by, the surrounding area will gradually develop, and these fireflies will lose their place of residence and leave this place."    

Min Ann'ge was stunned. He shook his hand as if Luan Zhi suddenly shook him off before he could react.    

However, when he saw her turn towards him with a smile, he felt a slight pang in his heart and felt even more guilty.    

"He tried his best to hold on to Luan Zhi, who was trying to escape." I prepared the development outside. "    

Luan Zhi looked at him in surprise.    

Min Ann'ge then explained, "Three years ago, the right to develop and build was publicly sold here. I was worried that after being bought by other companies, the development would cause ecological damage, so I bought the fireflies directly since they lost their resting place."    

He kept looking into Luan Zhi's eyes, determined.    

"The surrounding environment is indeed being developed, but it's all for the sake of being closer to nature, so you don't have to worry because all the living creatures here have an environment where they can live in. You see, there are more fireflies these days than there used to be, don't you think? "    

Luan Zhi was slightly taken aback.    

"You've been preparing since three years ago?"    

Min Ann'ge nodded and revealed a wry smile.    

"Sorry."    

He had made preparations too late and had actually kept Luan Zhi waiting for seven years.    

Seven years was enough for anything to happen and change to happen.    

Luan Zhi shook her head.    

"You don't have to blame yourself. If I really want to come over, I can come over by myself."    

She raised her hand, and a few fireflies fell to her fingertips.    

Luan Zhi continued, "Because even I have forgotten this promise. How can I blame you?"    

Luan Zhi's fingers suddenly trembled. The fireflies on her fingertips flapped their wings and flew out of the cave.    

Her gaze followed the fireflies away, like a meteor shower rushing out of a window.    

The beautiful scene created by the fireflies was still fresh in her mind. She reluctantly chased after them until the fireflies could no longer be seen. Finally, she stopped and jumped back to Luan Zhi's side, her face full of excitement.    

"Mommy, when can we see these fireflies again? It's so beautiful! "    

Luan Zhi smiled faintly. After this, we might have to wait until next year. "    

"That long?" Duo Duo's little face immediately wrinkled in disappointment.    

Luan Zhi was thinking about how to comfort her, but in the next moment, a smile appeared on her face, and she was suddenly enlightened.    

"Then next year Mommy and Daddy should remember to bring Duo Duo along. Even Duo Duo would be willing to see such a beautiful firefly."    

She spoke happily, as if she didn't care about the long wait.    

Luan Zhi was stunned. She didn't expect her to accept it so quickly.    

Seeing the happy expression on her face, Luan Zhi was momentarily at a loss as to how to react.    

"You're right, but there's one more thing."    

Min Ann'ge's voice suddenly came from behind. Luan Zhi turned around and saw him standing behind her with a serious expression on his face.    

"It's not meaningless."    

Luan Zhi looked at him with a puzzled expression.    

Min Ann'ge continued, "You just said that seven years have passed and there's no meaning to it. It's not that."    

He turned his head to look in the direction of the cave entrance, and his gaze fell on the fireflies.    

"Although fireflies only have a one year lifecycle, the ones that you see before your eyes are their descendants. "So, it's not meaningless."
