Mercury Dream

Chapter 48: The beauty of secretly hiding... (5)

－－Where are you going to travel?－－[]

－－－I don’t have this idea, why do I suddenly feel like I’m going out for a trip?－－

－－Because, when you see you now, you always feel like you are going to a place that people cannot find.－－

－－The place you can’t find?－－

The night is getting deeper, the moon is slowly rising, and the stars are opening slowly.

The slow water flowed gently from the central waterway beside Piazza San Marco.

Flashes of waves chant in detail where the sea and the city meet each other.

Ferbers and Demos, two bright moon figures hanging high on the treetops.

Moon 2 and Moon 3, the phantoms of two mirrors are faintly painted on the sea.

The sound of footsteps in the streets is getting lighter and lighter.

The children at the entrance of the alley have already returned home.

It was as if I realized that the alternation of day and night was hidden in the bushes, in the forests, and under the eaves, all kinds of skilled performers from nature began to slowly play the music that they wrote as they pleased with the music of tonight.

Every night, the same scene will appear in this city, regardless of the seasons.

But deep in tonight, I found some subtle differences, New Venice.

The brightness of the city seemed to leave here completely as the daylight left. Except for the lights at the Marco Polo International Spaceport, the entire huge city fell into a deep dream tonight.

All this seems to have not changed--

--The moon is still there.

- Star Youyao.

- The night is deep.

All of this has also changed -

--The moon is brighter.

--The stars are even brighter.

--Dark late at night.

A dark city, a dark house.

The figures, big and small, leaned against each other tightly, and refused to spread out. They could feel the slight trembling of each other's bodies.

Shut down, power outage!?

Although I had known the time of the power outage, when I actually encountered it, I couldn't help but yelling in the light.

And at this time, another figure snuggled up in the lamp was naturally not President Ariya, nor could it be Alicia, but Little Saya, who also had dinner at the ariya company tonight.

However, compared with the lamp that was mentally prepared, Sayya's reaction was obviously much bigger when facing the situation that was impossible to happen on Earth.

What is this? Although I didn’t yell, the faint tremor still betrayed Saya’s current emotions. Did aliens invade? Or was there a struggle breaking out in nearby colonies? Just say, I shouldn’t have increased the water, electricity and energy bills last month. Those big fools in the federal government, I have paid so much taxes!!

Uh... Saya, calm down, it's just a power outage now. It seems that she was stunned by Saya's words. Although she is still a little uneasy about the current power outage, the light still tries hard to comfort the little sister beside her. Don't worry, sister, I'm right next to me.

Wan, Wan!! President Aria, who was also huddled in the lamp, nodded, but after only a short while, he immediately retracted his head back into his warm arms.

…Isn’t it really a colonial rebellion? Wouldn’t they throw away large abandoned construction waste on the surface?

Well, if I want to lose my target, it shouldn't be Mercury (aqua).

real……?

Of course it's true, so don't worry.

But you are trembling in the lamp, sister.

That's because... I said a few words, and then looked around in the lamp, but no matter how I looked, I still couldn't see my fingers around me, and suddenly I couldn't see them, a little... I was a little scared.

……ah!

When Saya was about to pick up the mobile phone from her bag to act as a light source, a warm and gentle light suddenly emanated from not far ahead.

It is not the cold light like a flashlight or a mobile phone screen, nor is it the strong light source like a roadside light or fluorescent light. The light that appears in this small living room in front of me is very weak and very weak. If it is normal, it is difficult to attract any attention. But at this moment, it is deeply attracted by the two and one cat, and a total of three pairs of big eyes.

Oops, Oops.

A candle placed on the plate, the light fire light flashed, but it still clearly reflected Alicia's gentle smile.

This warmth seems to increase value. It was originally just the brilliance of a candle. With Alicia's gentle steps, the candles' flames spread rapidly. In just a short moment, most of the living room was embraced by the warm light and soft arms.

Sitting in the lamp or Sayer, he naturally saw clearly what Alicia was doing at this time. The two girls looked at each other, nodded at each other, quickly followed suit, picked up a candle, and lighted more and more unlit cord fires.

In just under five minutes, the entire living room changed, at least in Sayer's eyes.

Although Sayya is not aware of this familiar living room, she is quite familiar with it. However, when she put it now, she suddenly realizes that she can't recognize where it is.

There are candles everywhere.

The familiar wall was dyed with a red and yellow aura, swaying slightly, and swinging from time to time with the naughty wind.

Hazy colors cover every corner of the living room.

A trance atmosphere wrapped around every existence in this room.

Sayya stood blankly, looking at everything in front of him, without notice at all, a soft white gauze robe appeared behind him.

Have you seen a candle for the first time?

Well, although I have read relevant materials before, this is the first time I have presented them in front of me in detail.

Don't, that's really great.

As soon as the words were finished, Sayya suddenly realized that he was suddenly hugged and fell into a warm embrace.

Although it was early summer and the temperature was gradually rising, Sayer still felt no discomfort in such a warm embrace. He just was slightly stunned when he first noticed it, and then leaned in his favorite embrace quite docilely.

Because candles are placed in many places, please ask Xiao Shaye to join me.

Alicia gently stroked the top of the little girl in her arms while sitting towards the familiar rocking chair.

As for President Ariya, who was ready to go, he immediately jumped to the rocking chair, but his big blue eyes were interested in the candlelight in front of him and stared at it tightly.

Although the dim candlelight can bring a touch of light to the living room, it is not suitable for reading. Therefore, sitting in the light next to Alicia's rocking chair, he did not pick up the commonly used laptop or read books at this time, but looked at the dreamlike scene in front of him with President Aria.

It's incredible that the whole living room is different.

Holding his knees, the face in the lamp was also dyed with a hazy color by these soft candlelights. At the same time, he slowly stretched out his hand and gently raised the candle closest to him.

It was obviously a place I had been used to, but now it seemed like I had traveled through a time tunnel and secretly opened one of the jewelry boxes, making what I saw become such a strange and familiar beauty.

Oh, oh, is the jewelry box of time? Alicia, who helped Sayya combed her long hair, chuckled at this time, then raised her head and looked at the living room that traveled through the time tunnel in front of her. If that was the case, it would be so beautiful.

Yes, I didn't notice it at all. I slowly put the candlelight wilderness at hand back to its original place, but the face reflected by the candlelight in the lamp was thinking about something, and the smile on my face became bigger and bigger, and I became more and more excited. It was almost impossible to do this. What should I do?!

My mood became more and more exciting, and in the end I could hardly continue to control it. I jumped up and surrounded the entire living room. Finally, my hands were wide open, as if I wanted to embrace everything in my arms.

If such beauty has been hidden by our side, then how many beauty there are still yet, I have not found out yet. Thinking of this, I want to find them earlier!!

He opened his eyes and the first thing he reacted was not Alicia who had been smiling and listening, but Xiao Shayah with a strange expression on his face.

...Is it beautiful? I murmured gently, but the sound was not hidden at all. I think the so-called beauty and happiness must belong to both sides. When one side is found, the other side will quietly fall into the palm.

The five fingers slowly spread out, slowly spread their palms, and gently hold them. Of course, there is nothing on the top, so naturally there is nothing to hold.

Then, I have already walked too far and far, I must have missed many happiness that has hidden secretly in every corner, haha.

He held it again, but still got the same answer. Looking at the result, Sayya smiled bitterly as usual, and did not show any regrets or regrets. All of them were the helplessness that flashed away.

Maybe I really missed a lot, and I slipped away from Shay's palm since I was a child.

Taking Sayya's words and gently shaking Alicia, who was rocking the rocking chair, narrowed her eyes slightly at this time, and gently stroked President Alia who was also jumping beside her.

But... everyone has to move forward, and there is no way to stay in the same place. His eyes slowly opened. Alicia did not pay attention to the child in her arms, but looked out the window quietly, the Milky Way that occupied the entire night sky without realizing it. Perhaps before, Saya walked too fast and too fast, putting down many things, but relatively, at this moment, the scenery she saw was completely different.

...The scenery. Repeat the words softly, and there is also hidden there...

Before he finished speaking, Sayya found that the sister in the lamp that had been looking at the candlelight had suddenly shifted her target and looked at her curious big eyes quietly.

Although she is not afraid of showing it to others, she still feels uncomfortable when she is suddenly observed so carefully.

But this situation didn't last long because they laughed.

- Smiling in the light.

- Alicia smiled.

-Sayah, also laughed.

The moonlight shines on the window, the starlight falls faintly into it, and candlelight spreads in waves.

For a long time, for a long time, the gentle sound slowly drifted away with the wind--

-- It turns out that I found it, the beauty hidden secretly.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Sayya's message: The first time I experienced a power outage, the first time I saw a candlelight, the first time I discovered something I had found long ago. Although I thought several times that I had experienced many things here and gradually became accustomed to it, I only now realize that there are so many things hidden, and I will take me to discover... Yayi.

Yayi’s message: It’s so good, is it a happy thing to hide secretly? Will there be such an existence hidden by my side? I really want to find it quickly!!
