The two walked towards the depths of the forest, passing by a stream with gurgling water. They couldn't help but look at each other -

It’s the place where we first met.

His steps unconsciously stopped, Wei Yanshi pursed his lips and whispered: "A spring with clear water flows freely, a deep forest hides one's clumsiness, a person who gets something is not lonely, and leaves a lot of blank space when writing."

It's called blank space.

Leave blank space only for yourself,

The capriciousness of leaving blank space is tolerated by others.

He lingered for a long time, causing people who had walked several steps away to stop and look back: "Leave a blank?"

Wei Yanshi raised his eyebrows, responded crisply, and landed beside her on tiptoe: "Qinghe, where is the chestnut tree?"

Gu Qinghe pointed ahead: "It's right there, not far away."

We walked to a not-so-open area, and at first glance the soft ground with weeds mixed with soil was full of round haystacks with sharp thorns.

Wei Yanshi bent over to pick one up, holding a few yellow-green thorns, and carefully examined it in front of his eyes. He turned it twice and saw its mouth exposed. He was a little happy, and said to the little girl as if sharing an interesting thing: "Qinghe, look, it can actually grin. How interesting."

After saying that, he placed the side he saw in front of Gu Qinghe and shook it twice as if to show off, just like a child who was excited to see something new.

Gu Qinghe looked at him helplessly and explained, "Mature chestnuts fall like this. We pick them up and peel them. The fruit inside is edible. We can eat it raw or fried."

After explaining, he casually asked: "Blank space, have you never seen it before?"

Wei Yanshi shook his head: "No."

The food he ate before was all de-thorned and shelled, and served as a non-toxic and edible meal. How could he have the chance to see such authentic wild hairy chestnuts?

Gu Qinghe noticed something from his expression, and immediately bent down to pick up another one from the ground. She stood on tiptoe with the chestnut in hand and gently poked him in the face. Wei Yanshi did not dodge, but just lowered his head, waiting for her move with a smile on his face.

Gu Qinghe held up the chestnut and asked with a smile, "How does it feel?"

His face felt itchy and numb, and even his chest felt the same way. Wei Yanshi threw the fur ball in his hand into the air to hide his discomfort: "Not bad."

What does it feel like to be pretty good?

Gu Qinghe didn’t understand what the ancient people were saying, so naturally she couldn’t feel the excitement that the young man was throwing into the air.

She squatted down, took out the cloth bag from her sleeve, picked up the chestnuts that had fallen on the ground and put them in the bag. Wei Yanshi waited for the ball of hair in the air to fall to the ground, then squatted down to help.

The two of them picked up all the hairy chestnuts on the ground and only filled half a bag. Gu Qinghe stood up and looked up at the tall hairy chestnut tree. Above his head, plump hairy balls hung on the lush green leaves, arranged in an orderly manner.

Gu Qinghe wanted Liu Bai to find a long stick, but before he could say anything, he felt a gust of wind beside him and caught a glimpse of a figure passing by in his peripheral vision.

When I looked up again, the person who wanted to give orders was already standing on a branch. His light blue clothes matched perfectly with the lush green of the leaves. Upon closer inspection, he was more dazzling than the tree or the ball of fur.

"Qinghe, I'll drop it down for you."

The young man stood on the tree, his clothes gently blown by the autumn breeze. He looked down with a smile and spoke loudly.

Gu Qinghe raised her eyes to look at him, feeling inexplicably happy, and she smiled: "Okay."
