Chapter 17: Spend the Night Together

The moon is like a silver plate, and the sky is full of lanterns!

The two stood side by side on the arched bridge, the sound of rushing water through the bustling crowd lingered in their ears, and the lotus lanterns with flickering flames floated leisurely under the bridge, covering the water surface...

In the distance, the lights are bright, and a large area of Kong Ming lanterns carrying endless wishes slowly rises into the air over the two rows of roofs on both sides of the bridge, adding a beautiful color to the transparent night.

"It's so beautiful!" Looking at the lotus lantern flowing under his feet, and the Kong Ming lantern slowly rising in the distance, Ling'er held a sword in one hand and stood quietly beside Xi'er, sighing obsessively.

At this moment, Ling'er was already deeply immersed in this wonderful night scene, and the intoxication on her face was even more inextricable, and she couldn't wait to rise into the air with it.

On the side, Xi'er also has a panoramic view of all the beautiful scenery, never expected that there is such a beautiful scenery in the world, and I never expected that the Mid-Autumn Festival in Fancheng would be so vast!

"The beautiful scenery of a good day is nothing more than this, if only it could survive in the world forever!" bustling, looking at the happy pedestrians in the past, Xi'er said meaningfully.

In this life, Xi'er's only regret is that she couldn't enjoy such a beautiful scenery with her mother, and the same is true for Ling'er!

"Brother Mengxi, or let's go put one too!" tilted his head slightly, his tender gaze turned to Xi'er, his ruddy lips opened and closed slightly, and his charming tone said with a hint of excited expectation.

"Okay!" Xi'er responded, took Ling'er's white and tender left hand, and walked down the arch bridge with a full of longing.

This time, Xi'er is no longer passive, as a boy, he can't let Ling'er rush to the front every time, and now he can't afford any regrets, so no matter when, he will always stand in front of Ling'er and shelter her from the wind and rain, men, you should be responsible, even if it's a trivial matter!

After a while, several stalls selling lanterns appeared in front of the two, and each stall was surrounded by noisy pedestrians, coming in and out, extremely lively.

Unlike the others, the owner of this stall was a woman dressed in dark cloth with gray hair who looked to be about seventy or eighty years old, but despite this, the old lady was still diligent in selling all kinds of lanterns there, and it was very lively.

Don't look at the old grandmother's age, but her simple paving, but there are some of the most beautiful lanterns in many paving, not only exquisite and beautiful, but also full of inspiration, even the patterns depicted on it are lifelike, which is incomparable to other paving. I can't help but let the front of the paving be surrounded by pedestrians.

"Grandma, how do you sell this lamp?" Before paving, Xi'er picked up the brand-new Kong Ming lantern and looked at it carefully, with a hint of excitement in her gentle tone.

Beside him, Ling'er held a sword in his right hand, and behind his hands, a pair of watery eyes fluttered around, pouting his ruddy and delicate beak and looking at all kinds of lanterns on the paving, looking like a bird.

"Do you want a river lantern or a sky lantern?" said to the old lady who was buying a lamp on the side, without looking at Xi'er.

"I want a sky lantern!" Xi'er's gaze froze slightly, and in an instant, he was covered by a little excitement, raised his eyebrows, and said quickly.

"Two copper coins in a normal way, five in a little better. There was no trace of emotion in the bland words, and the old grandmother still didn't look at Xi'er, and said casually to others.

"I want to be fine!" At this time, Ling'er, who had not spoken beside her, suddenly turned her eyes to the old grandmother and said excitedly.

Immediately, Ling'er buried her head and took out a silver coin, ready to pay it to the old woman, but was stopped by Xi'er.

"I'll come!" Holding Ling'er's white and delicate hand, a warm feeling suddenly came to him, and Xi'er said with a slight smile.

After that, Xi'er took out five copper coins and paid them to the old woman, and after Ling'er chose a Kong Ming lantern she liked, the two turned around together, laughing and leaving...

......

On the square, the lights are bright, the seemingly crowded crowd is silent and orderly, the bright lights rise leisurely in the crowd, the moonlight is like water, sprinkled with the language of flowers!

You pushed me, laughing and laughing, Ling'er danced and frolicked in the square, looking up at the starry sky with fiery red sky lanterns and bursts of amazement.

"Brother Mengxi, look at you, that lamp is flying so high!" Ling'er at this time was like a child who let go of himself, releasing the long-lost joy from his heart.

This is naturally not the first time Ling'er has seen such a situation, but it is the first time that someone has spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with her! So, under this premise, everything and scenery has become extraordinarily beautiful, especially the sea of lights in the sky!

"Brother Mengxi, do you remember the question I asked you ten years ago?" After sighing, Ling'er looked at the twinkling starlight through the sea of lights in the sky and said suddenly.

"Which sentence are you referring to?" Turning her gaze to Ling'er, Xi'er's brows furrowed slightly, and she asked with a puzzled expression.

After all, there are too many things that have been said between the two, and it is impossible for Xi'er to know just by asking in time.

"Do people really turn into a star after death?" Slightly emotional, Ling'er still looked at the starry sky and said with a little sadness.

The sudden sentimentality made Xi'er not know what to do, he stood in place, only felt his throat tight, and he couldn't speak for a while...

Without waiting for Xi'er to answer, Ling'er temporarily handed over the drifting snow to Xi'er, took out his rather delicate Kong Ming lantern, propped up the four corners, and the light blue clothes slowly squatted down with Ling'er, lying quietly on the ground, exuding a faint fragrance.

Lighting the pine resin fixed at the bottom, Ling'er held the Kong Ming lantern in her hand, slowly got up with the slowly bulging lamp body, lifted it above her head, and released the Kong Ming lantern that filled her wishes, and let it float towards the vast night sky and blend into the lanterns in the sky.

Ling'er slowly lowered her head, her graceful figure loomed under the light blue clothes, her thick and slender eyelashes slid slightly with her eyes closed, her hands were crossed, closed in front of her chest, and the cuffs slid down, revealing a white and delicate wrist.

On the side, Xi'er held a sword in one hand, and stood by Ling'er's side without saying a word, quietly watching the sky lantern that was gradually moving away.

At this moment, the two lonely hearts are completely fused together, and they will never be separated, and this moment will be a new beginning in their lives, regaining their vanished hope!

"Brother Mengxi, what is your wish!?" After making a wish, Ling'er put down her hands, looked sideways at Xi'er's kind face, and asked curiously with a pair of big eyes.

"What is your wish?" Returning to her senses slightly, Xi'er turned her gaze to Ling'er, who looked curious, and asked rhetorically.

"That can't be said, if you say it, it won't work!" Ling'er twisted her head to the side, peeking back at Xi'er from time to time, the flickering loss in her eyes was quickly replaced by a spirit, and she said with a slight resentment.

"I hope everyone I care about is well, no worries, and happy for a lifetime!" With a little melancholy on her face, Xi'er raised her head again and looked deeply at the large Kong Ming lantern slowly rising in the air.

As he spoke, the endless moonlight mixed with the sky light sprinkled on Xi'er's face, reflecting the loneliness and helplessness in his heart.

His expression froze, his smiling face gradually faded, Ling'er looked at Xi'er looking up at the sky in amazement, and there was a ripple in his heart, he never thought that his wish would be so simple, but so difficult to achieve!

"Brother Mengxi...!" Ling'er smiled, but two lines of light tears slipped across her cheeks, her rosy lips opened and closed slightly, and she muttered in a voice that only she could hear, indescribably sentimental.

"Let's go!" The corners of her mouth rose slightly, Xi'er squeezed out a reluctant smile, handed the snow to Ling'er, said lightly, and strode away without looking back.

At this moment, Ling'er seemed to see the moment when her wish came true, after a charming smile, she gently picked up the teardrops on her cheeks, trotted up in a few steps, gently put her head on Xi'er's shoulder, hugged the drifting snow, held Xi'er's lonely arm, felt the special warmth that only the two of them have, and left a pair of beautiful backs in the crowd and quietly left...
