Zilian angrily took my hand and rushed forward, suddenly, an old man holding two baskets of lanterns stopped in front of us, he turned his head and said to Zilian with a kind smile: "Buy a lantern!" Childe buy a lantern and give it to the girl! ”

Lantern? Listening to the old man's reminder, I remembered that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the world. Looking at the two baskets full of lanterns, I couldn't help but feel a little moved. Seeing that Zilian stopped and didn't go any further, I couldn't help but hold a glimmer of hope in my heart, waiting for him to give me a lantern.

"No, I don't."

To my surprise, I replied in three simple words, and after speaking, Zilian grabbed my hand and walked straight ahead directly around the old man selling lanterns.

I felt very sad to see myself passing by those lanterns without any way. Looking at the round moon in the sky, the various lanterns hanging on the street, and then remembering what Botai said to me, buying lanterns is to give them to the person I like, to express love, finally, I mustered up the courage to reach out and pull Zilian's sleeve.

"Master, Xiaoyu wants lanterns." I tugged at his sleeve, stretched out my hand to the two large baskets of lanterns that he had just ignored, and whispered to him.

"All of them?" I grabbed him, didn't go any further, looked in the direction of my finger, and he asked in confusion.

"It's not." I shook my head with some heat on my face. Seeing that there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, he nodded affirmatively to him, "Xiaoyu only wants to buy a lantern, and one is enough." ”

"Uh......"

He thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement, "Then go buy one!" ”

"Master Xiexie."

Pulling him by the sleeve and walking back, we came to the basket that was piled up with two full baskets of lanterns. Seeing these lanterns stacked together so crowded, I couldn't help but feel a little worried, these lanterns seem to be so weak, they are picked up and sold around by this old man every day, and I don't know if there are any broken lanterns in them.

Reaching out and taking out a lantern from the basket at random, I lowered my head to take a random look, and found that the pattern painted on the lamp surface actually had a fish, and gently pushed the lamp body with my fingers to rotate, and saw that there was a blood-colored red lotus swaying and blooming in the wind on the blue water, and the fish were companions, growing freely together in the water.

Fish and lotus? Isn't this me and Zilian?

I nudged the body of the lamp with my fingers, watched it spin gently in my hand, raised my head to see the light of the lantern spinning across his face, and said a little shyly, "Master, what do you think of this lamp?" Xiaoyu likes it very much. ”

I like to have myself above, and I like to have him above. Can the pattern on this lantern be regarded as a prediction of the future? Predicting that I will be with him forever in the future, and we will never be separated.

He didn't know where to look, he didn't look at me at all, he nodded casually, and he didn't say anything, praising whether the lantern I picked out was beautiful.

I pursed my lips and felt a little lost in my heart, "Master, don't you like this lantern?" ”

"Nope."

He replied casually, suddenly looking back, glancing at the lantern in my hand, and his brow furrowed.

"Master, look."

Seeing that his eyes finally turned to me, I excitedly raised the lantern in my hand and shook it in front of him. He brought the lantern in his hand close to his eyes, pointed to the pattern on the lamp surface, and said to him with a smile: "Master, look, this lantern has the pattern of 'fish playing lotus leaves' on it, as well as lotus flowers. This fish is a small fish, and this lotus flower is you, Master. ”

"Lotus and fish?"

Hearing this, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and his eyes looked at the lantern in my hand with complicated eyes, and suddenly, he reached forward and snatched the lantern in my hand, and said with a displeased face: "The color of this lantern looks too cheesy, either red or green, it is really a little uncomfortable in the eyes, let's change it." ”

Before I could nod my head in agreement, he bent down and took out another lantern from another basket. The frowning brows stretched, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he looked down at me and said, "Pick up, this lantern is quite suitable for you." ”

"Really? There is something more suitable for small fish than that lantern. ”

I leaned forward to take a closer look, and my heart suddenly cooled. I saw that on the lamp, I don't know which master, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I actually drew a pair of men on this lamp, a pair of men whose relationship looks not as close as you think, just a white-bearded old man sitting in front of the desk holding a silk book to watch, and there is a boy listening carefully to the class under the desk.

Zilian bowed slightly: "This lantern is suitable for you, the color of the lantern just now is too gaudy and ordinary, where is that thing worthy of the first disciple of Benjun, this lantern is really suitable for you." ”

The old man selling lanterns on the side glanced at Zilian, turned his head to look at me, and suddenly understood what was going on, nodded and said, "The old man is confused, it turns out that the relationship between the two is just a master and apprentice." ”

"Hmm." Zilian nodded and handed me the lantern in her hand, "This lantern is very compatible with you." ”

"Xiexie, Master."

I took the lantern he handed over, and looked at the 'fish play lotus leaf' lamp placed in the basket, and my heart was a pang of depression. Is there any other purpose for him to do this at this moment? He's reminding me that I'm only in a mentor-apprentice relationship with him, and I can't expect anything else.

I buried my head there, letting the cold wind blow, and the inside of my eyes suddenly became a little moist again. Don't blame me, it's not that I'm too hypocritical, and only when I'm with him does I want to pretend to be hypocritical and want him to comfort and comfort me. However, at this time, he didn't react at all, he didn't reach out and touch my head, and he didn't smile and tell me that he was just teasing me.

"Let's go! It's not too early, and the lanterns have already been bought for you, so go back. ”

What do you mean by having bought it for you? What does it mean to be already? He...... Is he bothering me? I buried my head and grabbed his sleeve with one hand, let him pull it, and followed him slowly forward.

I don't know where he's going, and I don't know where I can go with him, I just know that I'm sad and sad now, but I still tug at his sleeve and refuse to let go.

Perhaps, compared to these, there is no pain that saddens me more than the loss of him.
