At this moment, the night scene by the river was the most beautiful.
There were lights on both sides of the river, and the neon lights lit up the city. The river surface was
sparkling, and there was a boat in it. The water reflected the vast sky, and the stars were all reflected in
the water, showing a deep and shallow scene of the human world.
The city, which had been prosperous for hundreds of years, seemed to be so bright and golden every
night.
Crystal lay on the railing, and the night wind blew her long hair. She looked at a flower forest by the
river and asked, “What kind of flower is that?”
Harold took a look and said, “Crape Myrtle.”
“I haven’t seen it before.” Crystal said, “But standing here, I understand all the poems that Massy Wang
had written.”

like shale.” Crystal said, “The river and the sky are one color without any dust, and the solitary moon in
the sky is shining brightly. Who by the river sees the moon for the first time, and why does the moon
shine on people at the beginning of the year?”
After that, she looked up at Harold. “Who was the first to see the moon by the river, and which year was
it that the moon shone most brightly on people?”
Harold lowered his eyes slightly and said, “If I were a moon.”
“The first person to see the moon is you, and the person that will be shone is you too.”
Crystal was stunned and then said, “This poem is not explained in this way. It’s a philosophical
question, but…”
She smiled and said, “Thank you for letting me be the one who was loved by the moon.”
Harold suddenly bent down, kissed her gently on the lips, and said, “Thank you very much for your
willingness to stand in the dark.”
“Then…” Crystal tilted her head. “In order to thank me, can you carry me?”
Harold looked at the crowd and said, “If you’re not shy, I’m fine with it.”
“I’m not shy,” Crystal muttered.
Harold half squatted down, and Crystal pounced on his broad back. Like a koala, she clung to his body,
and her lips were close to his ear. She said, “Take me to the depths of the Crape Myrtle
Flower.”
Harold carried her on his back steadily. She had eaten a lot every day and had only grown two pounds
of meat after such a long time. She was very light to be carried.
His pace was very steady. From time to time, people would peek at them and take photos of them. It
was dark at night, so their faces could not be taken clearly. There was only a rough outline, so Harold
ignored them and walked all the way into the Crape Myrtle Forest.
There were a lot of people playing here during the day, but it was very empty at night as the flowers
could not be seen clearly. Crystal lay on Harold’s back, and the sea level suddenly rose. She reached

found that I have seen Crape Myrtle Flowers before.”
“But it’s not called Crape Myrtle in my village. It’s called a mosquito flower. It will bloom for several
months.” Crystal said, “When I was a child, I used it to make a wreath.”
“When we get back to Sunshine Village, I’ll take you to have some peach cake,” Harold said. “Are you
going to make a Crape Myrtle Flower Ring for me?”
Crystal stretched out her little right thumb and said, “Let’s make a pinky promise.”
Harold stretched out a hand and hooked it around her little thumb. Crystal was very serious. “Let’s
make a pinky promise and not go back on our words. The person who breaks the promise is a puppy.”
Harold always felt that this kind of childish promise was ridiculous. Even if it was written in black and
white, one could still go back on his word. Not to mention putting two fingers together. Was it a child’s
joke?
But at this time, Harold looked sideways and saw the expectant light in Crystal’s eyes. He thought
again, “I can’t let her down.”I
