CHAPTER XIX
At eight o'clock in the evening, the mountain was brightly lit, Lin Shuang and Shen Muhan put on masks and walked with the crowd to the outside of the main hall, and suddenly the crowd began to be restless.
In an instant, countless people began to rampage, as if people from all directions were rushing in one direction, and this scene reminded Lin Shuang of the stampede mentioned in the news.
She stretched out her hand to pull Shen Muhan's sleeve but found that there was no one around, she looked up, and there were countless heads surging in the vast sea of people, and she couldn't find him at all.
She remembered that his shoelaces had fallen apart just now, and he bent down to tie his shoelaces and let go of her hand, and he told her to wait, but he didn't expect the crowd to suddenly stir.
They were scattered.
Even though Shen Muhan was tall, standing in the crowd, he looked around in a panic looking for Lin Shuang's figure, but he couldn't find her again.
He took out his mobile phone and tried to call her, but before the call could be dialed, he was bumped by a sudden figure, and then the phone flew out.
Shen Muhan was startled, he opened the crowd and wanted to get his mobile phone back, but he was squeezed to the front by the crowd.
In front of him was an ancient tree that was very luxuriant, with many branches, but not many leaves, and a few strips of red cloth had been tied to the branches at the bottom, which were gently swaying in the wind.
The crowd fell silent as if they had been discussed, and the people who were originally in a mess began to line up in an orderly manner, with the smiles on their faces at the front lined up in antication at the back.
Shen Muhan is not interested in asking for any marriage now.
He turned around and tried to leave, but his arm was suddenly grabbed.
He paused for a moment, turned around, but regained his detachment and indifference the moment he saw that the person who came was Meng Wenyi, "What's the matter?" He quietly withdrew his arm.
"Hang this with me" Meng Wenyi glanced at him lightly, and did not ask Shen Muhan's opinion, and directly dragged his arm and walked forward.
Shen Muhan didn't speak or move.
"Literature and art, why do you casually stay with strangers?"
A strange boy suddenly stopped in front of Meng Wenyi.
"How are you with him? I've never seen this person before," he said, looking at Shen Muhan, and then quickly looked away at Meng Wenyi again.
"Who is he?" He frowned.
Meng Wenyi glanced at him, that glance was even a little colder than the frost that had been frozen overnight, "What does it have to do with you?" ”
She squinted her eyes slightly, and pushed away the boy who was in front of her.
"Don't follow, my new love and I are going to ask for marriage" Her voice came coldly, without a trace of emotion.
This new love must have been heard by many people around, and they all looked in this direction for a while, some people were envious and some people were disdainful, some people thought that this girl had courage and some people thought she was shameless.
And she still frowned lightly, holding Shen Muhan's arm with an expressionless face and walking forward step by step, the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and they walked to the front almost without hindrance.
Just when Meng Wenyi was about to step forward and hang up the red cloth strips, Shen Muhan stopped walking forward, he stood in place with his hands behind his back.
The people around him started talking loudly.
"Yo, what's going on?"
"What's wrong? Needless to say? The little couple quarreled."
"If you want to quarrel at home, what are you arguing about here, everyone has to ask for marriage"
"I don't think so, probably because this girl is too watery Yang Hua, did you hear her say just now, what about her new love...... Tsk......"
"Yo, isn't it, such a handsome guy, it's too aggrieved......"
"Not really, but this little girl is pretty good, look at that little face, tsk...... Give me and I'm willing to be her new love."
"Look at you!"
……
Meng Wenyi's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally fell on Shen Muhan.
"Follow me to hang this up" She took two steps back and walked to Shen Muhan's side, frowning slightly, repeating impatiently, her voice still cold as frost and snow.
Shen Muhan glanced at her with deep eyes when he heard this, didn't speak, turned around and wanted to leave.
Meng Wenyi grabbed his arm, with a lot of force, Shen Muhan seemed to be a little displeased, he frowned and looked back at her.
"My uncle has taught you something, and he won't help with this little favor?" She leaned forward, and the whole person almost stuck to Shen Muhan's body, leaning into his ear and whispering.
Then he quickly moved away, with one hand in his coat pocket and the other with a strip of red cloth, standing there looking at him, still expressionless on his face, but not as cold as before.
Shen Muhan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked down at her, and didn't speak.
Both of them were silent for a moment.
"Hurry up" Shen Muhan looked away and walked in front alone, without looking back.
Meng Wenyi stood in place for a while before slowly following.
Shen Muhan walked to the ancient tree and stopped, he glanced back at Meng Wenyi, and then stood next to her and waited for her to come over.
Meng Wenyi glanced at Shen Muhan lightly, walked to his side and stood still, then stretched out his hand and hung the red cloth strip on the branch in front of him.
Surrounded by smiling couples or men and women looking forward to getting rid of their singles, even the air is filled with a sweet smell, only they have a calm demeanor, and their cold faces are naturally very eye-catching in the crowd.
Especially Shen Muhan, he was still standing sideways under the ancient tree with his hands behind his back, the red lantern next to him was shining with an ambiguous light, so his side face was a little gentler, and his eyes were dark and clear.
Such a good-looking person naturally attracted the attention of countless little girls.
Lin Shuang in the crowd naturally saw this scene, her eyes darkened, her heart seemed to be blocked by something for a moment, the mobile phone in her hand was still vibrating, and Shen Muhan's phone was never answered.
She stood and reached out and hung up the phone.
Then she put on the big butterfly mask and walked away quietly without anyone noticing, without looking back.
And Shen Muhan and Meng Wenyi hung up the red cloth strips and walked back one after the other, walked through the crowd, and the two parted ways, without even saying goodbye.
Shen Muhan took two steps and heard Meng Wenyi call him, and he turned around.
"I owe you a favor, if you have any trouble in the future, just look for me" She looked at Shen Muhan with clear eyes, her face was slightly gentle, and her voice was not loud.
Shen Muhan was silent for a while and nodded lightly.
Then he walked away without looking back, but he searched all the halls in the temple, the golden pagoda, and finally the courtyard.
But he never found her.
They had been to the same place, but they had all missed the time, and she was gone when he came.
Lin Shuang was sitting in the main hall at this time and called Xie Lulin.
"Hey, Frosty, how's it going?" Xie Lulin quickly answered the phone.
Hearing his voice, Lin Shuang's nose was sour, but she held back, and the person on the other end of the phone didn't hear the answer and shouted a few times anxiously.
"Frost? Frost? What happened to you? ”
"No, where are you now?" Lin Shuang's voice was a little low.
She may not even be able to go back to school now, but she really doesn't want to see Shen Muhan at this time.
"I'm here, I'll be outside when you come out," Xie Lulin hung up the phone after speaking.
Lin Shuang was stunned for a moment, got up and walked towards the door of the hall, suddenly thought of something, paused, reached out and took off his coat and put it in the main hall.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, picked up my coat and walked out.
