Liang Du usually implements a curfew, and after nightfall, it is strictly forbidden to wander around the street, and if he is caught, he will be punished.

Today is the Lantern Festival, the imperial court has canceled the curfew as usual, and a grand lantern festival has been held, and even the royal family has issued an edict saying that they should have fun with the people.

On the street, it is also very lively, and there are crowds of people everywhere. It feels even more lively than the day of the Spring Festival.

For ancient times, this should be a rare peaceful time.

Chen Fan walked on the street and saw a lot of officials maintaining order, which would be full of people, one was not good, and it was easy to cause chaos.

In addition to Liu An, he was accompanied by Zhao Gang, who was also in the nursing home.

After Chen Fan walked around the street and experienced the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival, he went to the courtyard where he often gathered with Lin Xiuwan.

The courtyard is very clean, and there is a table at the pavilion.

Chen Fan asked several servants who were in charge of taking care of the yard to go home, and sent Liu An and Zhao Gang away. A man sat at the table, poured a glass of wine, and waited as he drank.

A pair of lanterns hung on the pavilion and a few candles were lit on the table.

In the middle of the table, there is a charcoal stove with a copper pot on it, covered with a lid, constantly steaming upward.

There are plates of green vegetables and various meats on the side, and what he prepared today is shabu-shabu.

This will be winter, Liang is located in the north, the weather is cold, there can be such a few vegetables, Chen Fan also spent some effort to come up with greenhouse planting technology. It's just the first time I got it, I don't have enough experience, and the yield is very low, so it's enough to eat by myself.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw a light at the gate of the courtyard, and someone came with a lantern.

"Here we go."

Just by looking at his figure, Chen Fan knew that it was Lin Xiuwan.

"Sorry, it's late."

Lin Xiuwan walked over alone, she wore a lilac dress today, wrapped in a white coat, which set off her slender figure.

"I've just arrived, too."

Chen Fan lifted the lid of the pot and added ingredients to the boiling soup base, while saying, "Speaking of which, this is the first time we have met at night. It feels quite different. ”

"If it weren't for today's Lantern Festival, there would be a lantern festival, and I wouldn't be able to get out." Lin Xiuwan looked at the table full of ingredients, and said with some regret, "If only there were chili peppers." ”

At this time, if you want to make chili peppers, you have to go to the Americas. Chen Fan doesn't have that much ability.

"Taste this." Chen Fan handed over a small plate of dipping sauce.

Lin Xiuwan dipped a little with chopsticks, tasted it, and said, "It's mustard." ”

"And this, made of dogwood, also has a spicy taste."

Lin Xiuwan put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at him, and whispered, "Thank you." ”

"Why are you so polite?"

Chen Fan poured her a glass of wine, which was a low-alcohol fruit wine, sweet and refreshing, and it was her favorite drink.

He raised his glass and said, "I wish you a happy Lantern Festival." ”

"Happy Lantern Festival." Lin Xiuwan touched a glass with him and drank it all.

The two chatted while eating.

Suddenly, a firework lit up in the sky, lighting up a large area of the night sky.

It's time to set off fireworks.

The two of them looked up and saw fireworks blooming in the air, and each time, they could hear bursts of cheers, and those sounds seemed to be far away, and they seemed to be close by.

After a while, the fireworks dispersed. Everything is calm again.

Lin Xiuwan put down her chopsticks, stood up, walked to the pavilion, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

The weather is fine tonight, there are no dark clouds, and the moon and stars are clearly visible.

She suddenly raised her hand, pointed to the sky, and said, "That's the Big Dipper, right?" ”

Chen Fan walked up to her, looked in the direction she was pointing, saw stars everywhere, and didn't know which ones she was referring to, and said, "It should be." ”

Lin Xiuwan said, "In this way, this is really the earth, and we have traveled to hundreds of years ago. ”

"To be precise, it should be a parallel world, originally in history, there was no such Great Liang Dynasty."

Lin Xiuwan didn't speak again, looking at the Big Dipper in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chen Fan looked at her face, the fire of the lantern and the white moonlight seemed to make her face covered with a layer of brilliance, which looked so moving. There was a strong throbbing in his heart, and he shouted in a somewhat tight voice, "Lin Xiuwan." ”

"Huh?"

When she turned her head, Chen Fan kissed her.

A hand pressed against his face, letting the kiss fall short.

"Don't do that." Lin Xiuwan's voice was very soft, but very resolute, "I just treat you as a friend......"

"Don't talk about it."

Chen Fan interrupted her and didn't let her continue. From the strength of her hand, and the resolute tone of her voice, he knew that she didn't mean that kind to herself.

He turned around and said, "I see, today's incident, I'm sorry." With that, he walked out.

"Chen Fan......" Lin Xiuwan's shout came from behind him, he ignored it and walked out of the yard quickly.

After going out, he was blown by the cold wind, but Chen Fan didn't feel cold at all, this time, he was still hot.

"It's a shame."

He smiled bitterly, to be honest, he was not without being rejected by women. Only this time, he was full of confidence.

In this world, just the two of them, when they came together, he thought it was a natural thing. Now it turns out that he thinks too much.

It's a shame to throw it to grandma's house.

"Young master, are you alright?"

At this time, Liu An and Zhao Gang chased out.

He said, "It's okay, let's go back." ”

"But Miss Lin is still inside......"

"Are you leaving?"

"Let's go, young master, wait for us."

…………

Shame is shame, Chen Fan has long passed the age of dying and living if he is out of love, this is nothing. He went out for a walk, played outside for more than ten days, and recovered.

On this day, as soon as Chen Fan arrived home, he was called by his mother-in-law.

"Chen Fan, you will be eighteen soon, since you have no intention of taking a scientific examination, you should get married as soon as possible, this is also what your father meant. Do you have a girl you like? ”

"Nope. Everything is at your disposal. Chen Fan knew that since this was his father's intention, there was no room for refusal. This is also the price of his abandonment of scientific research.

Mrs. Chen was very satisfied with his attitude and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with you when I find a few candidates." I promise to find you a satisfied woman. ”

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, you look for it slowly."

After talking about business, Chen Fan left.

As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw Liu An standing outside the door, and as soon as I saw him, I ran over and said excitedly, "Young Master, Miss Lin is here, and I am waiting for you inside." ”

Chen Fan let out an "oh" and walked in.

"Oh?"

Liu An repeated the young master's words and scratched his head in confusion.

In the past, when the young master talked about Miss Lin, he was always very happy. It's never been so cold as it is now.

What happened on the night of the Lantern Festival?
