Chapter 022: Disappearing
"It's called a petal cake, and the filling is made with fresh flower petals, and it's only sold every year during the Flower God Festival. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" She paused and asked curiously, "Do you want to taste it?" ”
"You can try."
"It looks like it's sold over there."
Ruan Jiuwu looked around and found that there was a stall selling petal cakes in the southwest corner, and when she was about to walk over, she was confronted by a group of children running over with a bang, Xu was running too fast, and they couldn't stop at all when they saw that they were almost at the lake.
She glanced at the bottomless lake behind her and simply stopped where she was, waiting for them to crash into her.
In the blink of an eye, the children fell on her one by one like a stack of arhats, and she clenched her teeth, but she still slipped and fell backwards.
Instead of falling as she imagined, there was an extra force in her back to support her, and she turned her head to see that Ye Che was already standing behind her at some point, his arm blocking her body strongly.
"Be careful." Ruan Jiuwu didn't have time to thank him, so she hurriedly grabbed one of the little boys who almost fell and whispered, "Walk slowly, the lake is very dangerous." ”
The children in front of him came back to their senses, glanced at Ruan Jiuwu embarrassedly, and continued to run around.
The little boy who was held in her arms raised his head and looked at Ruan Jiuwu, his immature little face quietly flushed, and he said shyly, "Thank you, sister." ”
"You're welcome." Ruan Jiuwu squatted down and helped him tidy up his messy clothes, "Okay, let's go play." ”
"The wish-making activity is about to start, isn't my sister together?" The little boy asked with wide eyes and a milky voice.
"Wishing ......"
Gradually, the surrounding people also began to gather on the side of Huashen Lake, and Ruan Jiuwu and Ye Che, who were already standing by the lake, were unknowingly wrapped in the innermost excellent position.
Seeing that Ruan Jiuwu didn't answer him, the little boy quietly ran away to find other playmates.
"What are they going to do?" Looking at the crowd of people around him, Ye Che frowned unhappily.
He wasn't used to getting too close to people.
Before Ruan Jiuwu could answer him, the pleasure boat on Huashen Lake began to move along the edge of the lake, and it was a young man rowing a boat, who shouted to the place he passed while rowing:
"The annual Flower God Festival wishing event is about to begin!"
Cheers rang out around the lake, and men and women of all ages looked expectantly at the middle of the lake, as if there really would be a god of flowers coming down from the sky.
Ruan Jiuwu was also infected by this pleasant atmosphere, raised her head and smiled at Ye Che and said, "You can also try to make a wish, and it will come true." ”
At this time, the pleasure boat happened to pass by them, and the bright candlelight on the boat shone on her little face, making Ye Che, who was looking at her, lose her mind for a moment.
I have to admit that this woman is really ******* childish when she laughs. Ye Che snorted coldly, not denied, but there was less of the usual coldness in his deep gaze.
The boat had already circled around the lake, and the young man rowing the boat stood at the bow of the boat and shouted, "I announce that the wish-making activity has officially begun!" ”
In an instant, the originally noisy and lively scene became silent, and everyone closed their eyes, folded their hands, and quietly faced the lake to make their wishes.
Ruan Jiuwu gently poked Ye Che's arm, motioned for him to come along, and then closed his eyes reverently.
Time passed little by little, and people's faces were happy or sad, extremely sincere, as if they hoped that the flower god would really be able to fulfill his wish.
After Ruan Jiuwu silently recited his wish in his heart, he did not open his eyes, but quietly waited for the next order.
This wishing ceremony is a two-step process, the first step is to make a wish silently in your heart, and the second step is to tell the person around you that you have made a wish, whether this person is an acquaintance or a stranger you have never met.
She couldn't help but feel a little nervous at the thought of exchanging wishes with Ye Che.
In previous years, her wish was to tell Yuehe, but she didn't expect that this year, Yuehe and the people around her were replaced by Qingying, and by her side was this mysterious man who suddenly broke into her life.
He is as proud as he is, and does not know what his heart's desire is.
Half a tea time had passed, and the rowing boy shouted loudly again: "Please open your eyes and tell those around you your wishes, and the god of flowers will hear!" ”
"Phew."
Ruan Jiuwu took a deep breath, suppressed her heartbeat, and slowly opened her eyes.
However, after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he was unexpectedly stunned in place.
"Yuqing?" How could he be in front of him, Ye Che?
She looked around and didn't notice him.
"Sister Mai, I didn't expect to see you here." Lin Yuqing hugged her excitedly, and his strong arms tightly wrapped her in his arms.
She was in a coma that day, and he walked away. Because he felt shameless to face her, he never dared to visit the deserted mansion again. Now that she has fully recovered, he can finally let go of the guilt in his heart.
He missed her so much, he wanted to hold her like this in his dreams.
"Yuqing...... You let go of me first......" Ruan Jiuwu struggled to break free of his embrace and asked suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly appear?" ”
"I came out with my mother, my mother was tired of walking, and I was resting in the teahouse over there, and I heard Xiao Er say that the lake was going to start making a wish, so I came to join in the fun, but I didn't expect to see Sister Wu from afar!" Lin Yuqing's dark eyes looked at her burningly, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze.
"Just ...... Is there anyone around me? "He has seen Yeche, and if he sees it, he should recognize it, but if he doesn't see it...... It should have been Ye Che who had already left.
"Aren't we all around people?" Lin Yuqing pointed blankly at the people around him.
"Oh...... yes, I'll just ask. She smiled awkwardly, her eyes searching.
However, she stood in the innermost layer of the crowd, her line of sight was very limited, Ye Che's figure was not found, but she found Yuehe and Qingying not far away, at this time, Yuehe was shyly whispering something in Qingying's ear, and Qingying lowered her head shyly.
"Sister Mai, let's ...... I haven't told each other my wish yet. Lin Yuqing's voice pulled her gaze back.
"That'...... Let's just say it. ”
"My wish is to ......" he looked at her affectionately, "I hope that I can inherit the great cause of the Lin family as soon as possible and have the ability to protect Sister Wu." ”
Ruan Jiuwu hesitated for a moment and responded, "My wish is to improve my swordsmanship. ”
"Haha, my dancing sister is really different from ordinary women!"
She smiled and said apologetically: "Yuqing, I still have some problems, you should go back to accompany the third lady." ”
"Sister, are you still going to Dad's birthday party?" Seeing that she turned around to leave, Lin Yuqing hurriedly asked.
He had already heard about what had happened in the silk village a few days ago.
"Well, go." Ruan Jiuwu replied firmly.
It is very likely that this will be her last birthday celebration for her father as a daughter, and she will go anyway.
"Okay, then we'll see you in a few days!"
"Okay." With that, Ruan Jiuwu quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Looking at her back as she left in a hurry, the smile on Lin Yuqing's face gradually froze, was it his illusion, Sister Wu, who had always been calm, seemed to have changed a little......
