Gu Qiqiao took the silver ticket given by Gu Yanran and walked to the stall where the colorful glass lanterns were hung.

However, the lantern festival was crowded with people, and Gu Qiqiao couldn't move an inch at all.

Gu Yanran stood in a place where there were fewer pedestrians in the past, and saw Gu Qiqiao's thin body being squeezed around by the bustling crowd, and felt a little distressed.

Alas, it's all to blame for her accidentally hurting her foot, otherwise she would be able to walk to the stall and buy the colorful glass lantern by herself now, why bother to let Qiqiao suffer this sin on her behalf.

"Ugh." Gu Yanran sighed slightly apologetically, narrowed her eyes, but bumped into a back that she was all too familiar with. "Xuanyi ......"

It's him!

It's Xuanyi!

Gu Yanran stepped forward, ignoring the injury on her foot, to pursue the man who made her miss in her heart.

But the man's feet were fast, and Gu Yanran couldn't speed up his pace due to a foot injury, so he quickly lost it.

Gu Yanran stood on the covered bridge that framed the moat, anxiously looking out of the crowd.

But no matter how she looked, she no longer caught the slightest clue about the man in her eyes.

"......" Gu Yanran's heart was gloomy, and she was distracted when she stood in the middle of the covered bridge.

On the covered bridge, there is an endless stream of passers-by.

Passers-by who saw a lost woman in the middle of the road took the initiative to avoid it, and naturally they didn't see it, so they didn't bumble into it for a long time.

Gu Yanran was knocked and stumbled, came back to her senses, and subconsciously wanted to stand firm with her right foot as a support.

But the moment her right foot touched the bottom, there was a tearing pain in the center of her foot.

"Ahh Gu Yanran screamed in pain, and then the whole person fell backwards uncontrollably.

It's over, I'm going to be crippled now...... Gu Yanran closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the impending unwarranted disaster.

Seeing that Gu Yanran's thin body was about to have a zero-distance contact with the hard ground, a helping hand was extended in the crowded crowd.

Immediately after, Gu Yanran only felt a tightness around her waist, and she was hugged into a hot and wide chest.

"Are you alright?" A low, familiar male voice sounded.

Gu Yanran opened her eyes and couldn't help but be surprised. "National ......"

"Shh Night Netherworld pressed his finger against Gu Yanran's slightly open mouth and smiled slightly. "There are many people, don't make a noise."

"Okay." Gu Yanran nodded, indicating that she would not make any more noise.

The night ghost arm exerted a slight force and straightened Gu Yanran. "I heard that you hurt your foot, and you don't stay in the house to recuperate, why are you here?"

"It's not like you want to see the lanterns, hehe."

"Looking at the lanterns?" Night Nether raised a frown. "You're alone?"

"Naturally not, there are tangrams...... Ah, the tangram! Gu Yanran snorted, secretly screaming that it was not good. Oops, I left the Tangram behind, and she's definitely looking for me everywhere now. ”

The Night Netherworld learned of the situation and said. "Alright, don't worry.

You have an injury on your foot, and it must not be realistic to go to her by yourself, so just stay by my side obediently, as for your little girl, I'll just ask Forget Chen to bring her over. ”

"Forget the dust?" Only then did Gu Yanran notice Ye Wangchen standing behind the Night Nether.

"I've seen Miss Gu." Ye Wangchen greeted Gu Yanran and went straight to the point. "May I ask where Miss Gu got separated from the Qiqiao girl?"

Gu Yanran raised her hand and pointed to a place, sincerely asking for the night to forget the dust. "It's over there, near the ancient tree that helps with a lot of red cloth strips, forget the dust, and the tangram will be entrusted to you."

"Miss Gu, don't worry." After Ye Wangchen finished speaking, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd.

Gu Yanran's gaze followed the distance of Ye Wangchen, and she didn't notice that there was a person next to her who was not long-eyed.

"Be careful!" The night ghost sounded a warning, wrapped Gu Yanran's slender waist with one hand, hugged her tightly in his arms, and led her to the position on the side of the covered bridge.

Suddenly in the position closest to the water source, Gu Yanran was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged the night nether. “！！！”

Oh my God, it scared her to death, she felt like her heart was going into arrest.

No, it's just that she's on the side of the moat, why is she scared?

In the morning, she approached the Huxin Pavilion where the night ghost was located.

Wait, it's not fine!

It turned out that the sudden severe pain in her heart when she was by the lake was not all due to mistaking the back of the night ghost for Nangong Xuanyi, but also because it was inseparable from the constantly rippling turquoise blue lake.

Gu Yanran finally found that because of the relationship between falling into the pond and dying in her previous life, she seemed to have developed a fear of places such as pools, lakes, and rivers.

Speaking of which, at noon, her focus was all on the night and how to become Mr. Shang Heng Academy, so she didn't notice the effect of the lake on her.

At this moment, the night was dark, and the lake was completely dark, like a bottomless abyss of a huge pond that made people fearful, and her fear of the water source was completely released.

Night Netherworld noticed the strangeness of the person in her arms, and then thought of the situation when she was by the lake during the day...... "Are you afraid of water? ”

The unique magnetic voice of the night ghost sounded in her ears, and Gu Yanran suddenly came back to her senses. "Ah, I'm sorry."

Gu Yanran tried to withdraw from the embrace of the Night Nether, but she couldn't muster the slightest courage to face her fears, resulting in the process of withdrawing from the embrace of the Night Netherworld not going well.

After trying several times, Gu Yanran still couldn't loosen the clothes that were clutching the waist of the night ghost, and she was so annoyed that she was about to cry. "Hmm......"

"Alright, don't toss." Night Nether patted Gu Yanran's back with one hand and pressed her face to her chest with the other. "Since you're afraid, just hold it like this, nephrite is in my arms, I can't ask for it."

Night Nether's words were very straightforward, and it sounded as if he was taking Gu Yanran lightly.

But Gu Yanran knew that the Night Netherworld said such words in order for her to be able to stay in his arms without burden.

"Thank you." Gu Yanran sincerely thanked the night nether, but she still felt that it was inappropriate. "But......

You are a dignified national teacher, holding the daughter of the Protector Mansion who everyone is criticizing and disgusted in public, aren't you afraid of being affected by your reputation? ”

"I thought you were more worried about your own reputation at this time."

Gu Yanran buried her smiling face in the chest of the night ghost. "Anything else to worry about?"

"Hahahaha." Night Nether couldn't help but laugh. "My reputation is less worrying than yours, right?"

Gu Yanran was amused by the statement of the night nether. "Poof...... It seems like that's really the case. ”

Not wanting to be silent, Night Nether took the initiative to change the topic. "By the way, I heard that Wangchen said that you want to move out of the Protectorate Mansion and live in the old mansion of the Shen Mansion near the Netherworld?"

"yes, yes." Gu Yanran didn't hide the night nether, and immediately apologized to him. "I'm really sorry that you were scolded as a 'wild man' and that you couldn't hold them accountable."
