Zou Xinning opened her mouth.
She'd basically just heard the remark and let it pass.
Was he especially popular with fireflies?
How much could fireflies like him?
Could he make them land on his hand, like in the TV dramas?
That couldn't be possible, could it?
Or, lowering the bar, could he keep fireflies from flying away in fright when people approached?
