When passing by the blacksmith's shop, the blacksmith called me.

"Are you okay?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Blacksmith, what's wrong? Is my sword ready?" To be honest, it has been a long time, it should be almost done, right?

"That's why I called you." He walked to the side of the shelf next to the stove where weapons were placed, took out a long wooden box, opened the top, and inside was the sword. "My most perfect work, no other... It shines like a star, it's really perfect..."

I took out the sword. There were no excessive patterns on the scabbard and the hilt was very comfortable. I held it in my hand and waved it gently twice. It was a suitable weight, not too heavy, nor too light.

I made a sword flower. I hadn't practiced for many days, so I was a little rusty, but what was certain was that this sword was very comfortable to use.

"Your craftsmanship is really good! There is probably no one else in the whole Mondstadt who can create such a work." It is normal to give a few more compliments for a satisfactory work. After all, compliments are free, make people happy, and are the simplest thing.

"Thank you for the compliment." He started to hammer the tool in his hand again. "Sorry, I have a few commissions to come, so I won't chat any more."

It seems that this blacksmith shop has always been so busy since ancient times...

Walking in the sunset, step by step, I heard a familiar voice when I was leaving the city gate. It was the enthusiastic young man at the gate: "Hello!"

"Hello, what's the matter?" It was not like a normal greeting, this time it seemed as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Your mask?"

He touched the coldness with his hand and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, right? Although it was made in a hurry, it's still very beautiful."

"It's really beautiful..." What else did he want to say? The other person on duty grabbed his throat and made him speechless.

"I'm sorry, he was absent from work during work and caused you trouble."

"It's okay, I'm not bothered. Goodbye." After saying that, he left slowly. The heels of the shoes he wore today were a bit high, not very suitable for running or brisk walking.

"That captain?" The man who was being choked was gradually let go. He was a little confused as to why he was being stopped from saying the next words.

"Are you an idiot?!" He was hit hard on the head. "Ms. Eldana is a respectable person. She held back the monster in that accident. The scars on her face were caused by the battle. Who knows what rude questions you will ask? Fortunately, you didn't get angry!"

Eldana, who was slowly leaving, was thinking about this tactless guy. Should I stop saying hello to him in the future? He has no tact at all! I won't say hello to him in the future! It's decided.

The breeze brushed across my face, and the setting sun dyed everything with its look. I unconsciously quickened my pace, trying to outrun time, but time always passed by like that, and before I knew it, it had already passed through my fingertips.

In the end, we didn’t get to see the sunset on the Zhaixing Cliff. When we arrived, it was already completely dark.

There is no moon today, only stars.

It feels like the road is getting a lot darker, but it doesn’t matter, the stars can still guide the way.

Even if you reach your destination, the other party seems not to have arrived yet?

Then look at the stars for a while, look at the starry sky, and look at the different destinies.

"Sorry for the long wait..." The voice came from behind, but it was not very close. She stood up from the stone, patted her skirt, and turned around.

The moonlight coated everything with a layer of silver gauze. The person who seemed to be in a daze smiled happily: "Finally you are here. I thought you had encountered something today?"

"Sorry... there's something..." He walked over, and the distance between them was very close, only about 20 centimeters.

In the past, I would feel uncomfortable even when I was this close to a girl... It's really strange...

"It's okay, let's look at the stars together. The stars here are really beautiful..." I have never seen the stars, except when I was very young, in that summer in the countryside filled with the smell of garlic, watermelon and mosquitoes. I would just sleep on the ground, lie on the hard mat and count the stars.

At that time, my mother told me that the stars were countless because there were too many of them, but I kept trying hard to count them, and from time to time I would wonder if I had counted that star?

"..." Seeing the person next to me hesitate to speak several times, and not opening his mouth first, I don't know what he wants to say. No, I know a little bit of what he wants to say...

"Just say whatever you want to say. I'm in a good mood now." A cool breeze blew over. Since coming to this world, I haven't encountered mosquitoes. It's so comfortable! The evening breeze in summer is very comfortable, and it's even more comfortable without mosquitoes!

"I..." His Adam's apple moved several times, as if he had swallowed a lot of saliva. He didn't know how to start, "That... I... um..."

"Can't say it? Then don't say it, you haven't thought it through yet." I used to always be unable to say it, but later I realized that it was because I hadn't really thought it through. When I really wanted an answer and wanted to say something, it was no longer like this...

"Then let's look at the stars together... The starry sky tonight is so beautiful." The stars are twinkling. Some people say that the soul will turn into stars. Maybe, a soul that turns into a star should be noble and shining, beautiful like a flower, or at least live out its own life, right?

"Boring..." Thinking of this, he lost interest in continuing to look at the stars. The starry sky here is indeed beautiful, but he is no longer in the mood. "It's getting late if we go home. Do you want to look at it for a while longer, or go home together?"

"Let me accompany you." The real purpose was not to enjoy the scenery. If the person you wanted to accompany you decided to leave, then what reason was there to enjoy the scenery alone?

I really like the feeling of wind blowing. I like the Huizhou wind that is not too strong, and I also like the wind that is so strong that it can even break an umbrella.

They walked slowly on the way home, and both of them were very quiet. One was embarrassed about what he had just said, and the other didn't want to speak.

"Actually, when I was very young, I liked stars very much. Although I still like them now, the liking then was different from the liking now." The voice was soft, and he turned around and walked backwards, with sadness in his eyes. "I had a pretty good childhood when I was young. Probably, at least I was safe and sound, without any illness or... I had a little injury that was not too serious. At that time, I didn't like to write a diary, so I would tell everything to the stars."

"When I was a kid, I would tell everything to a puppy..." Children always need to find something to rely on, but this reliance will change without them realizing it.
