[Short Story]
This work contains two separate stories set in the same world.
It's rather abstract and may not fit neatly into any category. Thank you for reading.
Background:
In the future, a large number of people come, willingly or otherwise, to a planet that could be called "paradise on earth."
But reality rarely lives up to expectations.
Those who manage to survive there go on to have children and carry on "civilization."
☆ "Ants":
The "ants" living in the city beneath the city also want a glimpse of "paradise on earth."
☆ "Candlelight":
Witness the civilization of this so-called "paradise."

P.S.:
1. I chose the danmei category because this world has more to it than these few thousand words. After I finish the "Mystery Trilogy" series, I'll start a new novel in this setting, Qin Huan x Gan Qiyu. This story only covers their first meeting.
2. I'm collecting title ideas for a full-length novel in this setting. Feel free to leave a comment. Thanks!

Theme: Love peace and cherish it
I'm not very good at naming names, but I have an idea: 1. What people desire is undoubtedly the brightest and most beneficial event that they hope to see. People are always self-interested and will take what they want regardless of the cost. But people have their own ideals. Education tells them that everyone is equal, so they will create some ideals and desires to try to make up for their own innate psychology, similar to Jesus' belief that he would not go to hell if he respected the Lord. The most respectable thing about people is their humanity, and the most destructive thing about them is their humanity. It makes everyone aware of their own insignificance and weakness, but also makes people unable to recognize reality. 2. Molecules - They long for the so-called light caused by the sun, and the things they want are out of reach. Even though they are small, they have their own yearnings and desires, ideals that are worthy of respect but will never be realized. People will keep trying to get closer to the ideal, and they can't stop fantasizing about the sun. Here is the first sundog. 3. Candlelight - They are witnesses, which also proves the supreme existence of their authority. They stand on a high cliff overlooking the world, watching the ants underground building tall buildings, and witnessing their fantasy of the sun. This is the second sundog. 4. How to say, peace-loving, the Romans' heliotheism, reverence and respect for the sun, they believed that people will be generated under the action of light, and believed that impolite things should not be done under sacred things. They revere peace, or they revere peace because of the things they cherish. Fantasy of the gratuitous divinity of the sun. Here is the third sun dog that I think can be derived. 5. I wrote Huanri in the long comment question. It was not a typo. When Gan Qiyu asked Qin Huan what his name was, Qin Huan gave his first orthodox response to his question. Huanri and Huanri are homophonic. The copywriting is also unsatisfactory, so I think things that exist in fantasy after all do not have to be too real, just have homophonic meanings, and then add a layer of meaning. I have forgotten the specific name of the Roman sun god, but the meaning is still the same. My thoughts are very messy, haha, I basically just say whatever comes to mind, as long as I can understand it. I don't really understand the specific world view, so I add, subtract, and even expand my mind based on my own understanding. If it's too outrageous, I'll just treat it as a joke. 6. I don't think it's appropriate to put this one above, so I'll put it here with the explanation! Huanri - Qin Huan's sun or Qin Huan is the sun itself. These two boundaries are blurred for me. I had a cool picture in my mind when I came up with this layer. The connection between heaven and earth is confusing and ethereal. The vast expanse above is a vast expanse, and below you can see everything, study deeply and remember the past. The ancient building that has stood here for thousands of years is lying across here. The upper part is rebirth, and the lower part is purgatory. On one side, dead trees are blooming, and on the other side, there are drunken skeletons and endless silence. Qin Huan stood at the highest point of the ancient building. Standing at the southernmost tip of the New World. It is infinitely close to the sun, yet infinitely far away. Qin Huan's fingers brushed through the misty clouds and passed through the light. He looked down. The sun is prosperous and peaceful. I don't know if you can imagine it, but I think it's quite possible, hahaha. Looking forward to finishing this book!! (*?ω?)
