I discovered I liked Fez on a sunny afternoon.

That day, Dorian accompanied Fez to the mountains to search for wood to repair the house.

Dorian remembers that the weather was great that day; the sun was shining warmly on him, and his mood was inexplicably uplifting.

They were also very lucky that day, and found the wood they needed in no time, almost two hours less than expected.

On the way back, Fiss suddenly pulled a flower bracelet out of his pocket.

The bracelet was woven from small purple flowers. Dorian was not familiar with plants and could not name these small purple flowers.

However, there are many flowers of this color in the mountains, and Dorian guessed that it was probably made from wildflowers picked by the roadside when they were scattered looking for wood.

Dorian thought the bracelet was beautiful, even more beautiful than the jewelry he had seen before made of rare treasures.

He was about to praise Fies's craftsmanship when Fies handed him the bracelet, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Dorian took the bracelet in a daze, his mind going blank, and a blush quickly rose on his face.

He thought Fies would say something next, but Fies didn't say a word. However, when he took the bracelet, his eyes shone with a light brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Afterwards, they walked home in silence. Although neither of them spoke, an ambiguous atmosphere lingered between the two insects.

As soon as he got home, Faith shouted something.

"It's getting late, I'm going back to my room to rest. You should go to sleep early too."

After saying that, he ran back to his room in a flash, and Dorian only had time to see Fies's bright red ears.

He looked up at the sun, which was desperately radiating heat, and realized that Lord Fez was right; it was getting late and he should go back to his room to sleep.

......

Back in the room, Dorian carefully placed the flower bracelet on the bedside table, then stood to the side and stared at it for a long while.

The corners of his mouth gradually curved into an arc. Now, whenever he thought of Fez, it was as if a butterfly was fluttering in his heart.

Even though he had never felt this way before, Dorian knew that this feeling was called liking someone.

He likes Fiss, and judging from Fiss's behavior just now, Fiss probably likes him too.

But before long, the smile on Dorian's lips slowly faded, and his eyes dimmed considerably.

He has a fiancé, and even if he didn't, his family wouldn't allow him to be with a low-ranking male insect.

Dorian sat quietly in the chair all night.

As the morning light streamed into the room, he made a decision in his heart.

He will find a time to talk to Lord Fez and make things clear that they should keep their distance from each other in the future.

He cannot break his engagement, nor can he do anything to bring shame to his family. Let him end this relationship that could never begin himself.

Consider everything that happened during this time as the most wonderful accident in his insect life.

After making the decision, Dorian wearily closed his eyes, covering the tears welling up inside.

......

To Dorian's surprise, it was Fez who first created distance.

The next day, Fez was like a completely different insect. She no longer took the initiative to get close to Dorian, nor did she share any interesting stories with him. When they went out to work together, she would find various reasons to do her own thing, trying to reduce the time the two insects spent alone.

The sight of Fez, blushing slightly, handing Dorian a flower bracelet that day, seemed like nothing more than a dream Dorian had.

Dorian felt there was an insurmountable chasm between him and Fez. He didn't know why Fez had changed so drastically overnight, nor could he ask, because objectively speaking, this was exactly the result he wanted.

So even though he felt a tightness in his chest and an indescribable discomfort every time he saw Fies's evasive eyes and his departing figure, he could only endure it.

Dorian spent the rest of his days in a daze.

For him, life in the mountains, which he used to find easy and pleasant, now only brings him bitterness and sadness.

Time passed like flowing water, and soon the period of seclusion on Yog Star ended, and it was time for Dorian to leave.

On the day Dorian left, Fies didn't come out to see him off like last time, but secretly slipped two hundred star coins into his room beforehand.

However, D'Orion didn't touch the money. On the day he left, he didn't take any luggage with him, only a flower bracelet hidden in his pocket.
