It is said that after being happy, there will be sadness, and when Gu Yuancheng was teased by passers-by for an hour holding the lotus lantern in his arms, he finally deeply realized the wisdom of the ancients.

Thinking that he is the face of a country, there will be this day.

"Gu Yuancheng." I've been pointed at by others, and I'm not very comfortable, "Let's just put the lanterns, it's not a matter if you always hold it." ”

"It's me holding it, it's not you, what are you doing in a hurry?" Gu Yuancheng refused.

"But it's very ......" I lowered my voice for fear of being heard, "It's embarrassing." ”

As soon as his face darkened, Gu Yuancheng wanted to have a seizure on the spot, but he didn't know what the reason was, he suddenly closed his mouth again and stopped talking.

Along the way, he didn't want to talk and stop like he is now, which made me a little nervous, for fear that something would happen suddenly.

"Gu Yuancheng, if you have anything to say, just say it, I will never leak it to you," endured and endured, I still couldn't hold back, and whispered to him.

I thought that I had challenged his bottom line so nakedly, and he should have sarcastically mocked me no matter what, or simply stuffed all the lanterns in his hand into my arms, but to my surprise, he not only did nothing, but asked me with great concern, "Are you tired after walking for so long?" Why don't we find a place to rest? ”

I was glad that he could hear what I was saying, but I was flattered that he was so patient with me.

"Are you alright?" I asked him with a slight hesitation.

Gu Yuancheng looked inexplicable, "What's the matter with me?" What's wrong with me? ”

"Is it really okay?" I stopped, "So where do you want to take me?" ”

Little by little, the sound of the festival disappeared from all around me, until now there was no one to be seen, and he should have known that I could not notice such an obvious change.

"Wait a minute." Gu Yuancheng didn't answer my question immediately, but left for a while, and just when I was thinking deeply about what he was doing, he ran back again.

"What are you doing? Where are you going to pull me? He suddenly grabbed his hand and walked forward, and I didn't react a little.

Gu Yuancheng didn't answer, but pulled me away a little urgently, there was no way, I could only follow him in fear.

There were only a few pairs of young men and women who passed us by with me, but soon their voices of laughter and laughter were left behind us in the endless night.

"This is it." Gu Yuancheng pulled me to a bridge and stood still.

"Here?" I don't understand what it means.

"Here you go." Gu Yuancheng suddenly stuffed a lantern into my hand.

I was puzzled, I just wanted to ask, but I felt that the lantern in my hand was a little strange, as if the appearance was different from those sold by the merchants.

"This ...... It's not a lotus, is it? I hesitated.

"Hmm." Gu Yuancheng seemed a little ashamed to speak, and actually stammered, "This... This is a peach blossom. ”

I was stunned.

"I made it myself." Gu Yuancheng opened his eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly, "But... Probably not very good-looking......"

Suddenly a breeze blew in my heart, I pursed my lips, lowered my head and did not speak.

"Are you still ......" Gu Yuancheng opened his mouth to ask something, but when he saw my blank gaze, he suddenly couldn't ask.

Sighing softly, he combed the messy hair on my forehead, "When will you see me?" ”

A slight tingling suddenly rose in my heart, and I subconsciously raised my head, but it was only dark and empty in front of me.

"I've always seen you, Gu Yuancheng." I smiled at him, "I can feel every word you say, every action you make, your breathing, your heartbeat, and the peach blossom lantern you made, it's beautiful." ”

Since he was a child, Gu Yuancheng had never felt like this, he looked at the girl in front of him who was pretending to be laughing but was clearly fragile and sad, only to feel that something fell straight on his heart, burning and painful.

Is this unbearable? Feeling unbearable for what happened to her? But it doesn't seem to be.

"Green Branches." He hugged me gently, "If one day in the future, we have to swing our swords against each other, don't laugh and stab my sword in the chest." ”

In fact, I have never remembered what I answered him under the thousand lights and moon, but the crooked peach blossom lantern fluttered into my deepest dream.

"What about the lotus lantern I bought? You're not going to throw it all away, are you? "Gu Yuancheng and I were talking without a match, and I don't know when the two of us actually sat down by the bridge.

"Thrown." Gu Yuancheng replied very simply.

"It was all bought with silver." I was distressed, "Since you want to throw it away, why don't you let it go for me?" ”

Gu Yuancheng snorted coldly and said, "It's not enough for you to have Ben Shao doing it yourself?" ”

"Well...... "Although I think that more is better than one, I don't dare to offend Gu Yuancheng at the moment, so I can only echo "Enough is enough, but who doesn't like the icing on the cake?" “

Gu Yuancheng snorted coldly again, and said with a slight warning, "You'd better not do anything that adds to the snake." ”

I spread my hands, "Don't be so stingy, besides, snakes never have feet, only dragons have." ”

"Have you ever seen a real dragon?" Gu Yuancheng asked me rhetorically.

"Nope." I replied.

"Then how do you know that the dragon has feet?" 520

"Guess."

Gu Yuancheng was choked by me, so he didn't continue on this topic.

"There are a lot of lantern riddles to guess on the Thousand Lights Festival, are you going to have fun?" He asked me.

"Just me? Or is it more than who guesses with you? I said.

"Whatever."

I groaned, shook my head, and said, "No." ”

When Gu Yuancheng heard this, he became curious, "Why?" ”

"It's very simple." I said, "If I am alone, then I will feel very boring, if you compare with me to guess the riddle, then I will definitely suffer now, left and right are not pleased, why should I embarrass myself." ”

Although I said crooked reasoning, Gu Yuancheng thought about it for a while, and it really made some sense, "Then what do you want to do later?" ”

"Listen to the singing upstairs, eat, buy some gadgets, and then go to the teahouse to drink some herbal tea." I counted them on my fingers, then stopped and said to him, "But you have to put the peach blossom lantern you made first." ”

"If you want to put a lantern, put it here." Gu Yuancheng stood up from the bridge and immediately helped me up again.

"From here?" I was stunned, "On the bridge? ”

"This bridge is the shortest in the whole of Biancheng, as long as you stand on tiptoe, bend down, and stretch out your hand, you are basically not far from the water." Gu Yuancheng said to me.

Listening to his description, and listening carefully to the sound of the water, it is indeed a good place to put lanterns, but ......

"You seem to want me to put it here, why?" This is what I have been most confused about since just now.

Gu Yuancheng didn't explain much about the water surface, but said, "There will be people who put river lanterns on the large and small rivers in Biancheng, but not here, and the few lanterns naturally can't be involved with others." ”

Although I really wanted to give Gu Yuancheng a face, because of my usual style, I couldn't help but whisper, "You are simply afraid that you won't be able to get your lanterns, so you chose such a place, right?" ”

Gu Yuancheng coughed lightly, but he didn't hear it.

"I'll put the lanterns." I didn't hear him speak again, so I leaned against the edge of the bridge and stood on tiptoe to put the lantern.

"Wait." Gu Yuancheng saw my movements, and hurriedly came up and hugged my waist, "You can't see it now, so it's safe." ”

His cheeks flushed, and for a moment I didn't dare to listen to his breathing as he leaned into my ear.

"Green Branches." He called my name.

"What?" I turned my face slightly.

Gu Yuancheng chuckled, he tightened the hand on my waist, and the whole person was closer to me, "You should put the lamp." ”

Almost subconsciously, I let go of my hand.

The peach blossom lantern falls from the sky, turns around and floats on the surface of the water, and the water waves spread out one by one, spreading all over the river starlight.

Thousands of lights and bright moon, red silk candlelight, if there is a long-term marriage, is the Biren on the bridge also a matchmaker of heaven and earth, worshipping a flying dream that only belongs to the two of them.

"Gu Yuancheng, what do you want to do most in your life?" I turned around and asked him in a low voice.

Gu Yuancheng slowly loosened my waist, but gently took my hand. He led me under the bridge, his voice so calm that I couldn't hear any waves, "When I was a child, what I wanted most was to be a pianist like Uncle Thirteen, playing flowers in spring and snow in winter, but now it's different, now I just want to come and go freely, not to be disturbed by mundane things, and to do everything I feel happy." ”

"You ......," I paused, then laughed self-deprecatingly, "I thought what you wanted to do most was to sweep away the Qin Kingdom and dominate the world." ”

"What about you?" Gu Yuancheng asked me, "What do you want to do?" It shouldn't be to sweep away the Qi country and dominate the world, right? ”

"Me?" My thoughts drifted a little, and for some reason, the first reaction in my mind was actually Wei Yinghou's Mansion.

Wei Yinghou Mansion? Wei Yinghou Mansion.

Ha, that's ridiculous!

"Maybe it's about you." "But it's a little different." ”

"Not quite the same? What's different? Gu Yuancheng was curious.

I shook my head, "I don't know, I just think it's a little different." ”

Gu Yuancheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed, with a little sadness, but also a little mockery, "Maybe, what you and I really want is never this." ”

I didn't speak.

He's right, I know.

A cool wind blew from the north, and the sound of branches and leaves falling to the ground was fluttering.

I was feeling sad in my heart because of Gu Yuancheng's words, and suddenly a cold air rushed towards me, followed by the sound of a dark arrow breaking through the air.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

"Gu Yuancheng!" I exclaimed.
