Rows of red lanterns sparkle on both sides of the river, and sparkling lanterns float on the river of Hongfang street lights. Boys and girls walk on both sides of the river, like a lively and moving picture.

"Really! It's so pretty! Chu Yue said happily, and the previous worries in the secret passage were swept away.

When Xuanyuan Hao came out of the secret passage, Chu Yueqing had already chatted with Su Yiyi. He and Yan smiled helplessly and sat down at the table.

……

"By the way, did you also come in through the secret passage?" Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Chu Yueqing asked.

"yes." Su Yiyi nodded, but she didn't come over. But she can't tell her the truth now, and it's not the right time for her to tell her.

"Oh, but how did this secret passage come about? Although it is extremely narrow, it occupies the structure of the restaurant? Chu Yueqing sighed at the wisdom of the ancients, which may not be possible in modern times.

"Who knows?" Su Yiyi didn't dare to be interested in this topic, and instead raised her eyebrows and said, "I heard that the roast duck here is very famous, do you want to try it?" ”

Chu Yueqing smiled and hugged Su Yiyi's shoulder, "Ha, roast duck!" Of course! However, how to send it in is a problem? ”

At this time, Xuanyuan Hao and Yan Yan walked towards them, and Yan Yan said, "This is what the shopkeeper should worry about, let's just wait and eat." ”

After speaking, Yan Yan looked at Su Yiyi, "Did you say that?" ”

Su Yiyi was slightly embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "Not yet." ”

"How?" Chu Yueqing looked at the two of them, "Something to say?" ”

Su Yiyi took Chu Yueqing's hand at this time, with reluctance in her eyes, "I originally wanted to tell you after eating this meal." Except for some things in Yan's hometown, we have to go back. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yueqing didn't say anything, walked over and gently hugged Su Yiyi.

After a long time, she let go and only said three words, "Okay." ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull and sad, and the four of them sat at the table and did not speak for a long time.

Suddenly, a window peeked upwards from the wall opposite the table. Chu Yueqing raised his eyes and found that there was a tender and delicious roast duck meat on it!

The aroma wafted from the window.

"It smells so good!" Chu Yueqing and Su Yiyi both looked at the plate of roast duck at the same time.

Xuanyuan Hao chuckled, got up and brought the plate of roast duck from the window. After a while, the window looked like a jingle cat's pocket. Plates of delicious delicacies keep appearing.

"So ingenious!" Chu Yueqing said while eating, "Just put the vegetables on the tray and sent them in, but they didn't spill it!" ”

Su Yiyi didn't care about what she said at all, her mouth was full, and she muttered. "Good~ Eat!"

In a moment, the food on the table was almost wiped out, Xuanyuan Hao and Ji Yan looked at the empty roast duck dinner plate, and asked at the same time, "Or... Order another roast duck? ”

“… That's enough! ”

"No need!"

……

After a meal, the night is deeper. But the streets of Hongfang are still full of people.

"Why are there so many people?"

"These stalls will be set up until dawn the next day. Today is also one of the few days when women in Beijing can play all night, and the ladies of the family will only go home when they have fun. Chu Yueqing said to Su Yiyi.

Standing by the window, looking at the still lively Hongfang Street, Su Yiyi sighed, "It's a pity." I have to go... It seems to be walking around here with you. ”

"There will be opportunities in the future." Chu Yueqing comforted.

Xuanyuan Hao didn't say anything to Yan Yan, not even a hug. It wasn't until Yan Yan and Su Yiyi left from the secret passage that Chu Yueqing remembered his clear voice in his ears, "Take care." ”

Chu Yueqing looked at the figures of the two of them walking farther and farther away from the window, and said in a low voice, "Yiyi, I will protect myself, and you too." ”

She didn't retract her gaze until she could no longer see. But by chance, I saw a lantern stall on the riverbank, and the crowd was unusually crowded.

At this time, Xuanyuan Hao said behind her, "Qingqing." Let's go back too. ”

"Wait a minute." Chu Yueqing pointed to the crowded place, "It seems unusual there." ”

Listen. Xuanyuan Hao looked at it fixedly, wasn't that the stall they had just guessed the lantern riddle?

"Let's go down and have a look." He groaned.

"Okay." As soon as her words fell, people and Xuanyuan Hao had already fallen to the ground from the window on the second floor.

… She just wanted to go back to the secret passage and go out!? Sure enough, Xuanyuan Hao is so simple and rude every time!

The two walked briskly into the crowd. "Hey, isn't this where we just guessed the riddle?"

Standing on the periphery of the crowd, Chu Yueqing asked a woman next to him, "Eldest sister, do you know what's going on inside?" ”

The woman was in her thirties, and saw Chu Yueqing calling her eldest sister. Proud in my heart. Excitedly chatted with her about gossip, "I heard that the stall owner of this stall is a little girl who is smart, some time ago, this girl didn't know what luck she had, but she was taken by a rich boy in Beijing, and said that she wanted to marry her and go home to be an aunt!" But this little girl doesn't agree. I want to live with a poor person.

If you want me to say, this little girl is really stupid, what kind of temperament! If you don't do it with a good rich aunt and grandmother, you are willing to live a poor life. In the future, there will be those she regrets. Ay... Why didn't anyone take a fancy to me in the first place, if someone had taken a fancy to me, I would have been with our family a long time ago! ”

"Hehe," Chu Yueqing smiled awkwardly, "Eldest sister, what's going on in there?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, talk about the little girl here. There's a stubble to come. Didn't this little girl disagree? But the rich boy still takes a fancy to her temperament! Baba ran to her house to carry someone! ”

"Carrying people? The girl was carried away! ”

"Of course not." The woman was satisfied with the quality of her storytelling. smiled, "If I had been carried away, I wouldn't have been here today." More than an hour ago, the rich boy's servant came and called the girl away, and the girl did not come back for a long time. I thought the girl had promised the rich boy! I didn't expect this girl to be so awkward that she jumped into the river!

Gee... It's a pity, it's the age of flowers, what's not to think about? ”

"How's the man? Did you get to the hospital? ”

"I don't know. Okay, okay, just follow and watch the excitement, why are you still so much..."

The woman sighed, but at the same time she looked like she had nothing to do with herself.

Chu Yueqing took a few steps back, returned to Xuanyuan Hao's side, and said, "Someone jumped into the river, life and death are uncertain." I don't know if I called a doctor, so many people were around, and we couldn't squeeze in! ”

"Don't squeeze," Xuanyuan Hao looked at a pair of catchers running not far away, and said loudly, "Catch is coming!" ”

However, in a few breaths, a sea of people surrounded by three circles inside and outside dissipated in an instant. The two of them were the only ones standing still. (To be continued.) )
