At night, the Guogong Mansion is still lively.

With a few loud bangs, colorful lights pierced the dark night sky and bloomed in the sky with dazzling light - red, yellow, blue, green, purple...... The entire sky was lit up in an instant.

At the same time, hundreds of lotus lanterns are slowly being put into the lake by the girls, and the delicate small lamps drift with the waves, the lights and water shadows, flickering, and soon merge into a bright galaxy.

The little girls who came to visit were all interested, and they hurriedly asked their girls to go over and get a few lamps, and asked for pen and ink, and wrote on the lanterns good wishes for their future life, or prayed for the safety and success of the elders in the family, or had the courage to secretly come a sentence or two of obscure verses to express their love...... Everyone had a great time.

Everyone in the Song family has different thoughts at the moment.

…… Song Lan stood by the lake, looking at the candle flame dancing in the lotus flower.

"Sister Lan, why did you come here?" Behind him came the gentle voice of the young man.

Song Lan was stunned for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Qinghan walking over from the opposite side with a smile.

"Cousin Qinghan." Song Lan owed him a debt.

"Everyone is putting lanterns over there, why don't you go over?"

Song Lan glanced at it with interest and shook her head, "I don't want to go." ”

Seeing her depressed, Shen Qinghan couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong with you?" Look at your listlessness...... Why are you worried? ”

Song Lan pouted, and was about to speak, but she remembered something, and finally shook her head, twisted her handkerchief and whispered, "There's nothing ......"

"If you don't want to say it...... Shen Qinghan didn't think it was wrong, and still smiled like a spring breeze, "By the way, I promised to give you a lotus lantern last year-" Shen Qinghan said, taking out a small lantern from behind him like a trick, "Look, I brought it to you today." ”

Song Lan was stunned for a moment, and then took it happily. The small lamp was made of lotus canopy, and the inside of the lotus canopy was hollowed out, and a candle was inserted, which was actually very simple.

Thinking that she just said casually a year ago, he actually took it to heart...... I forgot the previous unhappiness for a while, and I only felt like I had knocked over a honey pot in my heart...... It's not what it's like to say it's bad.

“…… So you remember. She whispered.

"Not really." Shen Qinghan said with a straight face, "I have always remembered Sister Lan's words. Shen Qinghan changed his words as he spoke, "It's just that now that you have grown up, you don't treat me as close as before." He sighed wistfully, "Well, if you don't want to tell me, I just won't bother you." "After saying that, he was about to leave.

Song Lan was in a hurry, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Shen Qinghan stopped and glanced down at her hand.

Song Lan's face flushed, and she quickly withdrew her hand, and said angrily, "How can there be ...... I'm with—" she paused, "I'm the same as before." ”

Shen Qinghan glanced at her and asked softly, "Then why were you upset just now?" Seeing that Song Lan was still hesitating, Shen Qinghan continued, "If you say it, maybe I can also help you think of a way." ”

Song Lan couldn't help but sigh, "You can't help me." Seeing Shen Qinghan looking at her intently, he lowered his head and whispered, "You don't know...... Snowball today, snowball is in trouble. ”

"Snowball? Just your little white dog? Shen Qinghan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Isn't it quite well-behaved." ”

"That's it." Song Lan pouted, and her eyes turned red. "I don't know what happened to it today...... actually broke into the yard of the big brother and bit someone...... My sister-in-law is still in bed. ”

Shen Qinghan saw her crying, hurriedly took the handkerchief and handed it to her, and comforted her gently, "Don't cry...... It's not your fault, your brother and sister-in-law won't be angry with you. ”

Song Lan pursed her lips and thanked her, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, "I understand...... I'm not just here for that, either. Song Lan's voice was choked, and when she saw Shen Qinghan looking at her inquiringly, she said sadly, "Cousin Qinghan, you don't know...... My sister-in-law is very good to me, and she always thinks about me when there is anything delicious and fun...... Snowball scared her like this today, I actually felt very uncomfortable in my heart, but what made me even more uncomfortable was ......" Song Lan finally sobbed, "They beat Snowball to death!" ”

Shen Qinghan also seemed to be taken aback, "Killed?" ”

Song Lan nodded with teary eyes, "Mother said that Xueqiu went crazy, if you don't kill it, more people will suffer, and I also know that her words are right, everything is Xueqiu's fault...... But I'm still sad...... Do you think I'm too bad......"

"Not really!" Shen Qinghan patted her, "You have raised it for so long, it is normal to be uncomfortable, and it is also because you are kind-hearted, how can it be bad?" Shen Qinghan thought for a while, and then said earnestly, "But if you want me to say, just tell me what you say, it's best not to let others know, otherwise your eldest brother and sister-in-law may be annoyed by you." ”

Song Lan nodded, "Well, I know, I won't say anything to anyone." He sniffled again, and said in a thick nasal voice, "Brother Qinghan, you are so good." "Always listen to her patiently and help her with ideas.

"What's this?" Shen Qinghan smiled casually, and became more and more gentle and handsome, like jade and bamboo, "Who told us to grow up together since childhood?" I'm not good to you, good to whom? ”

Song Lan's face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to wipe her tears. Somehow, I suddenly remembered Du Rongzhi's earlier words of knowing the roots and kissing each other...... My heart became more and more like I had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and I only lowered my head and didn't dare to look at him.

Although Shen Qinghan is not yet fourteen, he has already tried Yunyu with the adults in the house behind his back, and at this time, seeing Song Lan's shy little daughter, where is there anything he doesn't understand?

On the one hand, he was secretly proud in his heart, and his face became more and more gentle and considerate to the extreme, "Don't cry, otherwise you will go back and let your aunt see it, and you will have to worry about it again." ”

Song Lan bit her lip, looked down at the handkerchief in her hand again, and said softly, "Your handkerchief...... I'll wait until I've washed it back, and then I'll have someone give it back to you." ”

"It doesn't matter." Shen Qinghan smiled warmly, "It's the same for me when we meet next time." ”

"Next time, ......" Song Lan thought about it, and couldn't help but raise her little face and ask expectantly, "Then when will you come next time?" ”

Shen Qinghan smiled, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Nian Xia hurriedly looking for him.

"Second girl," Nian Xia Chao Shen Qinghan blessed his body and smiled at Song Lan, "Why did you come here alone?" But it is easy to find slaves and maids. Seeing that Song Lan's eyes were red and obviously crying, he smiled and said, "The third lady is still looking for you, you should hurry up and go with the slave maid." ”

Song Lan looked at Shen Qinghan. "Brother Qinghan, then I'll go first."

"Hmm." Shen Qinghan nodded, "Go quickly, don't tell the third aunt to wait." ”

Song Lan nodded, and then reluctantly followed Nian Xia.

Shen Qinghan sent them away with a smile, and it was not until the figures of the two of them were so far away that they could no longer be seen, and the corners of their mouths hooked up a mocking smile.

He kicked the pebble into the lake, causing a small splash.

This idiot.
