In the dark night, the outline of the buildings in North Yard could be vaguely seen.
When Nina followed Nine forward, Chester walked aside with a book in his arms. He didn't complain at all, but looked forward to it.
His Aunt Nina had been depressed for the past two days, Chester hoped that Uncle John's preparation tonight could make Aunt Nina happy.
The two walked on the winding cement road, with flowers blooming on both sides and swinging gently in the breeze.
Less than a minute later, Nine suddenly stopped, and so did Nina.
According to Nina's memory, it should be the open space in front of her in the back garden, but a huge black creature appeared in front of her and occupied the whole open space.
There was a slight sound around, pleasant to hear, and some wind bell that was waiting for them under the eaves.
After listening carefully, Nina didn't hear the crisp sound as the wind bell did. It was a little lower, and then she heard the buzzing sound as thin as a mosquito.
"What's this sound?" Nina's ears moved slightly, but the surroundings were too quiet that she could heard something.
"I don't know." Said Chester, shaking his head.
Chester guessed that it might have something to do with the surprise that his Uncle John had prepared.
Nina looked up at the darkness in front of her.
Suddenly, there was a fluorescent light in front of her.
Thousands of fireflies danced in the dark night, and the fluorescent haze on their bodies was like a bright incandescent lamp covered with a layer of soft gauze. The light was slightly, gentle as the breeze.
"Fireflies?" The forest island of C Island flashed through Nina's mind. Every summer, fireflies would stroll at night there, quiet and gentle, just like the stars shining in the sky.
When Nina stretched out her right hand, a firefly stopped on the back of her hand, flapping its wings gently, and the faint sound became clearer.
It was not the sound of a firefly flapping its wings, but a mechanical firefly with a firefly's outline and a round glow at its tail.
The people who controlled these fireflies were all on the rooftop. More than 20 people were playing the remote control wholeheartedly.
They couldn't stand there too obviously and they could only squat on the ground.
Unlike others, Amy and Lena had micro cameras on the fireflies that they controlled. While Richard was sitting at the table, staring at the screen.
The three of them were still bandaged.
They did their job with injure on their body.
It was no way if they didn't do their job, or John would let them stay in the hospital for a longer time.
With the help of fireflies, Nina also saw the huge monster in front of her clearly. It was a huge black curtain that covered the scene behind it, which aroused her curiosity.
"Aunt Nina, open the black cloth and have a look?" Chester held the book tighter and looked at Nina with his bright eyes.
He was a little nervous, afraid that he would expose John's surprise.
However, Nina had already guessed.
"Your Uncle John did it?" Nina grabbed a Firefly with her bare hand, bent over and put it on the back of Chester's hand, smiling at him.
When Chester saw her smile, he also smiled and nodded.
"Well, let's see what's behind it." Nina stood straight and walked towards the black curtain step by step.
On the rooftop, Richard watched every move of Nina and hurriedly reported to his men, "Mrs. Nina is about to pull open the curtain. Everyone is ready."
Therefore, everyone in the darkness was ready.
Whoosh...
Nina stretched out her hand to pull down the curtain, and North Yard instantly lit up. The light tonight was different from usual, and it was not as bright as before. It was a little hazy, like the moonlight pouring down from a curved moon.
With a sudden light, Nina subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes.
"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you……"
A cheerful and nifty birthday song rang out, accompanied by the gentle laughter, like the wind blowing into Nina's ears.
Nina was stunned and then remembered what day it was today.
