"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Wang Yu heard a familiar voice from behind, looked back, and saw Fan Xiaorou standing behind with a pant.

She is wearing a beautiful dress today, and she has also painted light makeup, which is very bright and moving.

"It's not that you're late, it's that I'm too early, it's only half past seven, and it's still half an hour before the time we agreed." Wang Yu said with a smile.

"I really didn't expect you to come so early...... Fan Xiaorou still had some self-blame, she originally wanted to arrive half an hour early to prevent Wang Yu from waiting for herself, but she didn't expect Wang Yu to come earlier than her.

In fact, Wang Yu just came out of the city bureau and stopped by.

"Let's walk around, then." Wang Yu said with a smile.

"Oh." Fan Xiaorou lowered her head and followed behind him, looking a little restrained.

"This year's lanterns are better than last year's." Wang Yu commented.

"Yes, it rained during the Lantern Festival last year, and there weren't many people."

"Did you come to Bayfront Plaza last year to see the lanterns?" Wang Yu asked in surprise.

"yes, but last year I was alone. Because the younger siblings in the orphanage were too young, the superintendent's mother didn't worry about me taking them out. ”

"Coincidentally, I was also alone last year. It's really amazing to say, last year we all came to see the lanterns alone, maybe we passed by each other, but we didn't know each other. But this year we became good friends and went to see the lanterns together. Wang Yu sighed.

"I really feel very lucky to be able to meet Mr. Wang...... Fan Xiaorou said sincerely.

"There's a dragon lantern in front of us, let's go and see it."

Wang Yu excitedly pulled Fan Xiaorou to the crowd gathering place in front.

A traditional bamboo dragon lantern dances wildly to the sound of gongs and drums, attracting the applause of the onlookers.

Wang Yu also applauded.

Fan Xiaorou was very happy to see it, her eyes were shining with candlelight, which was very charming.

That should be the clearest and most moving eye Wang Yu has ever seen in his life.

After watching the dragon dance, the two continued to walk inside.

"Brother, brother, buy a lantern for your sister."

A little girl about eleven or twelve years old, who was dressed very thinly, came out of nowhere with a few lanterns in her hand, and begged Wang Yu to buy a lantern.

Wang Yu looked at the patterns on these lights, and was immediately a little embarrassed, because they all showed the theme of love.

Obviously, this little girl who sells lamps regards herself and Fan Xiaorou as a couple.

"Mr. Wang, this little girl is so pitiful, let's buy one, shall we?" Fan Xiaorou whispered to ask for Wang Yu's opinion.

Wang Yu nodded: "You can pick one you like." ”

When the little girl heard this, she was very excited, and immediately introduced enthusiastically: "Big sister, this is Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, this is Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, and this is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl......"

Fan Xiaorou knew that these were all love allusions for the ages, and she also felt that it was very inappropriate, so she pointed to a lantern painted with daffodils on the shore of the lake and said, "Then I want this daffodil." ”

The little girl said, "Big sister, this is not an ordinary daffodil, there is a poignant love story here." ”

Fan Xiaorou didn't expect that she still couldn't hide, obviously it was just a daffodil, but it was still related to the theme of love.

Wang Yu accepted it calmly, and then curiously asked the little girl what kind of poignant love story it was.

The little girl said, "This is the story of the Greek myth of Nacissos. ”

Wang Yu was surprised: "Now the lanterns are not only painted with Chinese stories, but also with foreign stories?" ”

The little girl continued: "Nacissos was a very handsome hero, and once he went hunting in the forest, and when he saw his reflection in the water next to a spring, he was deeply fascinated by himself. Since then, he has stood by the spring without eating or drinking, and finally died and became a daffodil. ”

Wang Yu seems to have heard this mythical story before, but he didn't understand that a narcissistic man starved himself to death, which has a half-dime relationship with the love story, and where is the poignancy?

The little girl said, "It is not Nacissos that is poignant, but the water of the spring, in which the goddess of the spring gazes at him, and he falls in love with this affectionate man, but the affectionate eyes of this man are not for the goddess of the spring......"

With such an explanation, Wang Yu felt a little poignant.

looked at Fan Xiaorou next to her, her eyes were already shining, and she was so touched that she was about to cry.

Wang Yu's heart is not good, if she cries, she will have it, and today's Lantern Festival will be yellow because of heavy rain.

It doesn't matter if the lantern will be yellow, the key is that you still point to the moonlight to reflect the thousand-year-old pearls!

So he hurriedly paid for the "spring water and narcissus" lantern, and then pulled Fan Xiaorou into a lively stall opposite.

The stall was set up by an old man.

The old man sat behind a table with three porcelain bowls covered with a small ball, and if he could guess which bowl the ball was in, he could pick a prize at random.

Those gifts are all gadgets that girls like, such as music boxes, dolls, dolls, etc., but they are very exquisite, the price is at least hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the prizes that are more common than the common darts and balloons on the street to fool people, I don't know where to be sincere, and there are even fairy water SII that girls can't walk when they see it......

The old man's target customers are naturally young couples.

Because girls like these things, but they don't play with them all by themselves.

Boys are not interested in these prizes, but they will continue to invest in them for the sake of their girlfriends and their own face.

Wang Yu found that Fan Xiaorou's gaze fell on a music box, so he asked, "Do you like it?" If you like it, let's play, right? ”

Fan Xiaorou shook her head and said, "Fifty yuan at a time, it's too expensive, so forget it." ”

"Eh, husband, did you see it?"

"It's really pitiful, fifty dollars is too expensive."

"That's it, what do people come out to play when they're poor, isn't it good to stay at home?"

"It's not the case with the poor, who have to pay every penny."

……

Wang Yu heard someone next to him pointing at him, and when he looked around, it was a young couple, who looked like a little money, and the bags they were wearing were all famous brands.

In this young couple, the woman is jealous that Fan Xiaorou is more beautiful than herself, and the man is jealous that Wang Yu can find such a beautiful girlfriend if she is so "poor", so they deliberately sneered on the side.

Fan Xiaorou also heard their conversation and lowered her head secretly.

Wang Yu took her hand and said, "Don't take their words to heart." ”

The boy took it out and walked to the table and sat down, took out a hundred dollars and lined it up on the table: "Let's play two." ”

The old man of the stall put the money away, and then put the ball in the middle bowl in front of the boys, and then kept changing the position of the three bowls.

The old man's hand speed is not fast, but it is not slow.

The boy kept staring nervously at the table.

The old man put his hands together and said, "Please guess." ”

The boy laughed disdainfully: "Old guy, I'm afraid you're out to do charity at your slow pace." ”

The old man smiled but did not say a word.

The boy confidently pointed to the bowl on the left and said, "It's in this bowl!" ”

The old man opened the bowl, and it was empty.

The surrounding audience laughed and regretted.

The boy was taken aback: "How can it be empty, I obviously see it in this bowl?" ”

The old man then opened the remaining two bowls, and the ball was in the middle of it.

The boy's face turned dark at that time, and he said angrily: "There is another handful, hurry up and don't waste time." ”

In the second hand, the boy guesses the middle, but the ball is on the right.

The boy was unwilling, so he took out another hundred yuan, and went down with two handfuls, but he still didn't guess.

This boy's mentality is not good, he has a tendon, he can't accept losses, and he doesn't know how to stop loss.

Typical gambler mentality.

So there are two handfuls of two, and before I know it, nearly a hundred have been completed, and all the cash in the leather bag is empty.

The girl said, "Okay, stop playing." ”

He yelled, "Don't talk nonsense, give me the money quickly!" ”

The girl had no choice but to keep giving him money, and in the end the money in her bag was empty.

In just ten minutes, he lost nearly 10,000 yuan in front of this small stall.

The boy pulled out a credit card and slapped it on the table: "Go on, I'll swipe the card." ”

The old man waved his hand: "I only accept cash here." Then he persuaded, "Young man, stop it." ”
