Chapter 44: Unexpected Circumstances
When Chu Yu returned to Murong Villa, Mingyu and the others were already there, and they talked endlessly after a few people met.
Because they said that they would go together to buy materials for making river lanterns the next day, everyone who had just experienced the fatigue of traveling went to bed early.
After breakfast the next day, Chu Yu handed over his happiness to the old lady and went out with Mingyu and a few people.
Because it is the Midyear Festival in two days, the streets are particularly lively, and there are especially many people selling sacrificial supplies and river lanterns.
Chu Yu went to the restaurant to take a look, she didn't plan to wander the street, so she quickly bought the things she wanted to use, and prepared to go back to the villa.
Chuyu, who turned sideways to avoid pedestrians, felt Ruoshui next to her pull her sleeve, she looked at Ruoshui, and then looked in the direction that Ruoshui signaled. It's Nan Muxi again, I didn't expect to meet again so soon!
Nan Muxi also saw Chu Yu, and he watched her approach. "Yu'er." After speaking, he glanced at the people around Chu Yu.
Chu Yu knew that this time she would obviously open her eyes and say nonsense if she said that she was not Chu Yu, so she simply didn't say anything, but she didn't hear Nan Muxi's next words.
There are a lot of people on the street, and they stand in the middle of the road like this, which will cause some inconvenience to others, and Chu Yu opened his mouth when he thought about it: "If the prince has nothing to do, we will leave first." Chu Yu smiled dryly, avoided Nan Muxi's eyes, and walked past him.
What Chu Yu didn't know was that after she walked over, Nan Muxi looked back at her for a long time.
"Sister, why is the prince in Star City?" Every time they met and chatted, they chatted, but they never talked about Nan Muxi, so when they saw Nan Muxi, Mingyu automatically made up a lot of plots in her head.
Chu Yu told her about the previous meeting with Nan Muxi, and after speaking, she realized that Nan Muxi had left the Medicine Valley so happily before, and it turned out that she had only returned to Star City first.
"I was bumped into by the prince and was with us, so my sister couldn't continue to deny it." Yongxue in one sentence.
"yes, but it's going to happen sooner or later."
"Sister, we can all see that the prince is sincere to you, don't you really think about returning to him?"
"Mingyu, what do you say? My sister has a rare peaceful life, how can she go back! Yongxue listened to Mingyu's words, and without waiting for the first words to answer, she reprimanded Mingyu.
"That's it, even if it's sincere, no matter what, life is the most important!" Ruoshui also agreed, she and Yongxue were obviously much more rational than Mingyu.
"Let's not discuss this for now, let's talk about it later." After Chu Yu finished speaking, he quickened his pace, but there were some mixed feelings in his heart. Is Nan Muxi determined to chase after himself and fight to the death?
After returning to Murong Villa, Chu Yu began to prepare the river lantern, she still learned the production of the river lantern from her subordinates, after learning, the river lantern for the past two years were made by herself, various shapes and colors, she was tired of it. Everyone said that she could definitely go out and sell river lanterns, and it was definitely much more novel and chic than the ones sold on the street.
Chu Yu originally thought that Nan Muxi would come to Murong Villa to find her soon, but it didn't, and she simply didn't think about it when she was busy making river lanterns.
On the morning of the Midyear Festival, Hatsuyu got up early and went to the kitchen because he had to prepare offerings. It was not until after the noon ritual that they sat down to have lunch with everyone.
"Yunyu, thank you for your hard work."
"What did my mother say, this is what Yunyu should do." Chu Yu was very happy to be able to do something for the Murong family, not to mention that it was something she liked to do.
"Mother, when can we go to release the river lantern?" Happy thinking of the rabbit lamp that my mother made for herself, my face was full of anticipation.
"It's going to be night!"
"Is Uncle Yunxi going with you?" happily looked at Murong Yunxi.
"Of course, let's all go together." Murong Yunxi would not have done this kind of thing in the past, but since Chu Yu came to Murong Villa, this has also become an annual practice.
In the evening, everyone went out with a river lantern. There were obviously many more people on the street than during the day, and most of them, like them, went to put out the river lanterns, and as they walked, the groups were separated by some distances.
Chu Yu followed Murong Yunxi closely, and Murong Yunxi kept holding his happiness until he reached the river.
There are already many river lights on the river, and as the water drifts into the distance, you will see a colorful river in front of you.
"Wow, so many river lanterns, so beautiful!" The happy voice was a little excited.
"Come, be happy, follow my mother." Chu Yu said, took his happy little hand and walked towards the riverside, and Murong Yunxi followed.
Chu Yu found a position with few people, and happily squatted down next to her.
Murong Yunxi helped light the candle, and the three of them gently put the river lantern on the surface of the river, and then watched it slowly drift away.
Chu Yu looked at more and more river lights, the clear river, the bright moonlight, and the starlight on the river, it was really an amazing summer picture, and every time I saw it, I would be shocked.
When Chu Yu realized that he was caught in an infinite reverie about the beautiful scenery, he suddenly thought of the happiness around him, and hurriedly lowered his head to look.
At this glance, Chu Yu panicked, and happiness was not on the side. She looked ahead again and saw a small figure walking along the riverbank, and Chu Yu hurriedly chased after her.
Murong Yunxi noticed the strangeness of Chu Yu, and only then did he realize that something was wrong, and he hurriedly walked in the direction of Chu Yu.
There are more and more people on the riverside, and Chu Yu's eyes have been following Happy, but the pace on his feet can't be accelerated because of the flow of people. Just when she was about to catch up with Happy, someone directly blocked in front of her, and she squeezed over sideways in a hurry, but found that she couldn't see Happy.
"Happy! Happy! Hatsuyu shouted loudly, but there was no response.
"Cloud Language." Murong Yunxi, who heard the first shout, rushed to her side.
"Big brother, I can't see happiness anymore." As he spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably.
"Don't worry, let's keep going, we'll find it." After speaking, Murong Yunxi pulled Chu Yu and continued to walk forward with difficulty.
The two walked along the riverbank for a long distance, but they never saw happiness.
Hatsuyu, who had been holding out hope, broke down a little, and she began to blame herself for being so careless.
"Mother!" Just when she didn't know what to do, she heard a happy voice.
Chu Yu looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Nan Muxi standing not far away with happiness, and Nan Muyi was also beside her.
Chu Yu stepped forward with three steps and two steps: "Happy, you're going to scare your mother to death!" She hugged Happy directly.
"Mother, why are you crying, isn't it good to be happy?" said happily and wiped away the tears from his face for Chu Yu.
"Thank you, ...... Wang" Murong Yunxi wanted to open his mouth to thank him, but was interrupted by Nan Muxi.
"Murong Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, I just happened to see him, after all, there was still a relationship, I remember him."
Chu Yu, whose emotions had stabilized, looked at Nan Muxi and whispered, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"Miss Murong is polite."
"If the prince doesn't mind, Murong Villa will give a small gift in the future to show his gratitude, it's not early today, let's go back first." Murong Yunxi hugged Chu Yu happily and gestured slightly to Nan Muxi.
"Please."
"Second brother, why did you stop me from talking to my sister-in-law just now?" Nan Muyi looked at Chu Yu's back and didn't understand Nan Muxi's intentions.
"Nothing." Nan Muxi didn't explain much, he silently stared in the direction where Chu Yu left, recalling the warmth that the small hands around his neck had brought to him a moment ago.
