What Separates Me and You

Chapter 323 I Have Something Even Better

Amused by Josephine’s statement, Lewis couldn’t help but pinch her cheek. “Are you dumb? Even if I were to abandon you here, where else could I go?”

The young woman pursed her lips in response. She wasn’t in the state to ponder about anything back then. The moment she realized that Lewis had gone missing when she woke up, it was natural for her to think that she got abandoned right away.

Josephine continued gazing at Lewis, beads of tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes. Anyone who laid their eyes on her at that moment could tell that she felt extremely aggrieved.

In a way, she was born with an extraordinary charm. Whenever she pouted, no one would be able to stay mad at her.

Lewis gazed at the young woman for some time before finally letting out an exasperated sigh. Then, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to her feet.

Since reuniting with Lewis, Josephine perceived the once-howling winds as gentle breezes. The caws coming from the birds around her no longer sounded scary. In fact, she thought that those birds were now singing happily.

Lewis wrapped an arm around the young woman’s shoulders while she leaned into his chest. happily. Both of them then proceeded to walk through the bushes.

Since Josephine had run all the way into the deepest part of the woods, the duo spent a very long time navigating the area, but they had yet to find their way out. The trees all looked the same to them, not to mention their multitude of leaves and branches were able to block out the sky. Thanks to that factor, Lewis could not determine which direction they were currently facing by studying the stars in the sky.

Now that Lewis had successfully located Josephine, he opted not to use his lighter anymore, seeing as that was the only one he had. Currently, the pair found themselves surrounded by pitch-black darkness. If they were to continue traveling, they might fall prey to the unknown dangers lurking around them.

The man scanned his surroundings, hoping to find a safe spot. That was when he suddenly discovered a multitude of neon green lights floating ahead of him.

Josephine widened her eyes slowly at the same time. She tugged on Lewis’ arm happily after that.

She could recognize those lights as fireflies.

The

young woman had never seen fireflies in real life, but she did see plenty of them on the television. Needless to say, she was excited when she realized that she had just seen actual fireflies with her own eyes.

Josephine released Lewis’ arm before bounding toward the fireflies excitedly.

The latter called out from behind, “Slow down!”

He didn’t think of how romantic the scene was when he first noticed the fireflies. Instead, he only thought of two words-water source. If the fireflies appeared in this area, a water source was bound to be nearby.

Josephine ran into the cluster of fireflies right away. The green lights surrounded her soon. enough, so she could see countless lights floating around her.

Delighted, she reached out to grab the fireflies. There were so many of them hanging around her, so she was able to catch a few.

However, when the young woman opened up her palm, she realized that the fireflies were already squashed because of the force she used.

Lewis leaned against a tree close to her. The sight of Josephine jumping and twirling happily amidst the fireflies made him look a little dazed despite the fatigue that plagued him.
