Next Chapter

The town's annual lantern festival began, and although it is the same every year, it is still very lively.

The market is full of clamour, all kinds of goods are spread all over the market, food, clothing, and use, so that people can't see it at a glance.

The young man pursed his lips and shuttled through the flow of people, and the little man was buried in the crowd, and he could not be seen from afar.

The boy held a string of sugar gourds in his hand, the syrup on which had melted, and dripped on his hand along the skewer.

Hands full of syrup, always unpleasant, walked to a corner, saw that there was no one around, the boy threw away the sugar gourd in his hand, shook his hand vigorously, and wanted to throw the syrup out.

"Littering, no quality!"

A crunchy drink rang in the boy's ears.

The boy turned around, and a little girl in a red dress looked at him with disgust, her eyes were full of disgust, and she looked at the sugar gourd on the ground, and showed pity again.

"If I throw my stuff away, it's thrown away, what can you do?"

The boy replied coldly, then stopped looking at the little girl, and then shook the syrup in his hand.

"Why are you so indifferent? If people don't think you're good-looking, they won't pay attention to you?"

The girl returned angrily, and then pouted again, glanced at the sugar gourd on the ground, and said, "I don't care, you apologize to me!"

"Or, buy me a string of sugar gourds, and Miss Ben will forgive you. ”

The boy raised his head and glanced at the girl, full of surprise, I'm afraid it's not sick, right?

Stunned, the boy smiled, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, it was very good-looking, as the girl said, the boy was really good-looking, and he was very young, although he was still immature, but he was also very likeable.

"Want to eat sugar gourd, no money?"

The girl was full of embarrassment, and her little face was flushed and she looked very cute.

"You, do you know how many people are trying to give gifts to Miss Ben? I don't want anyone else to spend money on me, and I appreciate you by letting you buy me something. ”

Holding back for a while, looking at the young man's more and more presumptuous smile, the girl became angry.

"You don't know what to do!"

Looking at the little girl who was getting more and more anxious in front of him, a little girl with an embarrassed face and extremely cute, the young man sighed, "Don't worry! Isn't it just a sugar gourd? Buy you two strings." ”

"Really?" the girl was very different, blinking her eyes and looking at the teenager in front of her, the boy was a head taller than the girl, and his eyes were bright.

"Let's go!" the boy smiled, then turned and walked towards the market, where on the other side of the street there were people buying sugar gourds.

"yes, you're so nice!"

The girl jumped, and then took the boy's hand and dangled it, very happy, with a smile on her face.

At night, the lantern festival is even more lively, with people coming and going, and there are countless beautiful river lanterns, floating down with the water along the river that runs through the town.

Many beautiful lanterns are hung in the shops on both sides of the riverbank, and the lights illuminate the two banks, and the bridge is crowded with people.

A man under the bridge confessed to his favorite woman through the lantern festival, and the woman was very surprised, and took the two lamps in the man's hand with the cheering blessing of the people around her.

Not far away, the boy and the girl watched this scene, the boy had no expression on his face, his eyes were indifferent, and the girl seemed very moved and full of yearning.

"In the future, how good it is for my crush to confess to me like this, it must be very romantic. ”

"Oh!" the boy echoed softly, looking disinterested.

"Oh, you don't have any ideas, aren't you moved?

"No!" the boy was still indifferent.

The girl pursed her lips and said nothing, looking at the young man next to her, she looked so good-looking, why was she so cold, she wasted a good skin and a waste of that face.

"Dead wood. ”

"What did you say?" the boy looked at the girl with an unfriendly look in his eyes.

The girl turned her face and looked into the distance, the lights will illuminate the town with countless lights, people come and go, lively and lively, he likes this feeling very much, not deserted, there are people, how good.

"My family lives in Chang'an, I am from the Tang Dynasty, I only have one friend from you, tomorrow, I will go back with my father, I may not come here again in the future, and I will never see you again." ”

The boy was silent, looking at the girl deadly, and felt inexplicably sad for a while.

"When I grow up, I'll go to Chang'an to find you. ”

"Okay?"

The girl turned her head and looked at the young man, her immature face full of seriousness.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in Chang'an!"

After saying that, the girl turned and walked into the distance, where a middle-aged man was waiting for her quietly, ready to take her back.

The boy looked at the girl who walked away and was silent.

The girl suddenly turned around and ran towards the boy, opened her arms, and hugged the girl into her arms, and the boy's eyes were full of reluctance.

"Take this, go to Chang'an, go to Huaiwang's Mansion, where am I waiting for you. The girl shoved a jade pendant into the boy's hand and said earnestly.

"I'm waiting for you in Chang'an, you must come!"

The lantern festival continued, countless people came and went, but no one noticed that a girl disappeared into the sea of people, and in the market, a teenager looked at the jade pendant in his hand blankly, held it tightly, and put the jade pendant into his arms.

"Goodbye Chang'an!"
