Lanterns one after another, all kinds, girls who rarely go out, walking in groups on the street, seeing those delicate or cute lanterns, feel that they are all loved.

Xiao Xia squeezed through the crowd, walked beside Hu Qing, and pulled his sleeve. Ask the doubts in your heart, otherwise you will definitely suffocate yourself.

"Who did the hairpin that my brother bought for?"

Hu Qing glanced at her and didn't stop.

Xiao Xia was naturally unwilling to get an answer, and rolled his eyes to find a way, thinking about whether to steal the hairpin, anyway, he was still young and understandable if he was not sensible. And the senior brother is seventeen years old this year, and he is an ignorant teenager. In case he has a spring heart sprouting one day, isn't he guarding the cabbage and not arching yet! What a remorse!

Xiao Xia was so engrossed that he didn't notice his feet, and he tripped over something, so he threw himself forward. Xiao Xia reacted quickly and stood firm, but unfortunately there was ice under his feet, and he slipped and fell backwards.

Just when Xiao Xia closed his eyes and felt that he was definitely going to make a fool of himself in public, he was helped by the person behind him.

"Girl, be careful."

The voice was as warm as spring, Xiao Xia only felt a little familiar when he heard it, and when he turned around, the man was dressed plainly, with a light and elegant style, with a half-black mask on his face, revealing thin lips and an angular chin.

"Thank you." Xiao Xia wears a rabbit mask on her face, revealing only a pair of big black eyes.

But the other party still recognized her, those eyes, sometimes playful and cute, sometimes deep and quiet, sometimes as if they had seen through the vicissitudes of life. He'd only seen a man with such changeable eyes.

The man smiled, just now he was still thinking, such a beautiful night, so many lanterns, if Xiao Xia saw it, he would definitely be happy. Unexpectedly, the person he was thinking about just now turned around and appeared in front of him.

"Natsu-chan."

"Is it Uncle Zisheng?"

"It's me."

The weather is still very cold, every time you open your mouth, the heat in your mouth will condense, the crowd on the street will flow endlessly, and the lights on both sides will illuminate the night of Shaoyang City.

Such a scenery is blurry with a touch of hustle and bustle, but also with a strong affection. The two looked at each other and smiled, like friends after a long absence, with surprise and excitement.

"Uncle Zisheng, why is it in Shaoyang City?"

"I entered the Hongshan Academy here, and I also found a private school, and I went to teach when I had time."

"Great! I haven't heard anyone say it, I don't know, otherwise I would have congratulated you. ”

Seeing Xiao Xia pouting and pretending to be angry, Shen Zisheng smiled and explained, "It's a matter of this year's New Year, and I didn't tell anyone." It's a bad year now, and there's nothing to celebrate. ”

"Zisheng, who is this cute little girl?"

Xiao Xia noticed that Shen Zisheng was also accompanied by a slim girl, who was dressed in white and wore the same white rabbit mask as Xiao Xia. If Natsu's appearance in a mask can be described as cute, then this woman is like a fairy flying down from the Moon Palace.

"This is my fellow countryman, I didn't expect to see it here."

"It turned out to be a fellow villager? The girl came to Jiuyang City with your brother to play? The woman looked at the man next to Xiao Xia, although she couldn't see the face, but she felt that it was already good just because of her appearance.

The woman in white couldn't help but look at Hu Qing on the side.

"No, we were supposed to go home after running errands, but for some reason, the people in the city were not allowed to leave the city, so we had to stay. Ay! I don't know if my parents at home will worry about us. ”

Xiao Xia glanced at the woman in white, and this woman knew at a glance that she was not an ordinary lady, and her temperament was not comparable to ordinary people. Xiao Xia naturally thought of a lot, especially Miss Song, who always liked to wear white clothes.

That's why I said this.

This woman is indeed Song Baiyi, a year ago, Song Baiyi fell in love with Shen Zisheng at first sight in Gushan Town, as the eldest lady of Taishou Mansion, it is still easy to find someone. found Shen Zisheng, learned about his background and past, and admired this scholar even more. Hongshan Academy sent an invitation letter to Shen Zisheng It was also Song Baiyi's initiative, otherwise there were so many scholars in Zezhou, and how could the most well-known Hongshan Academy in Zezhou find Shen Zisheng. Song Baiyi did this, firstly, to meet her sweetheart as soon as possible, and secondly, to consider the future of her sweetheart, only if his future is promising, her sweetheart can be worthy of herself.

Shen Zisheng naturally didn't know about this matter, but he thought that his talent was favored by Hongshan Academy, so he was recruited.

It can be seen that Song Baiyi has worked Shen Zisheng, how can the Ruyi Langjun she has already booked be contaminated by others? Xiao Xia's appearance made her feel very unhappy at that time, especially Song Baiyi clearly remembered that when she was in Gushan Town, Shen Zisheng seemed to have a close relationship with a lame girl.

Song Baiyi listened to Xiao Xia's words, glanced at Xiao Xia, smiled gently, and said with relief: "There are too many displaced people, probably for the safety of the people in the city!" ”

She didn't tell Shen Zisheng her identity, Song Baiyi's brother Song Baisong was a student of Hongshan Academy, Song Baisong intended to take the initiative to become friends with Shen Zisheng, and then took the opportunity of the Lantern Festival to introduce his sister to Shen Zisheng.

"Then it should only be allowed to go out and not enter, right? I've heard that the Taishou Mansion has lost something and caught thieves everywhere! Ay! The city doesn't know if it's safe or not? Does Uncle Zisheng live in the academy? It's safe there, so I'm relieved. ”

Shen Zisheng listened to the habit of wanting to touch Xiao Xia's hair, but the raised hand was lowered again, and his face smiled like a peach and plum. "Where do you live? It's a pity that the academy doesn't allow outsiders to enter, otherwise I would have been able to take care of you. ”

Song Baiyi was even more unhappy when she heard this, the matter of the Taishou Mansion being stolen had already made the Taishou Mansion smeared, but who dared to say it blatantly, and said it in front of her, it was simply an unforgivable crime. If it weren't for the girl Shen Zisheng knew, she would have wanted her to know what the consequences would be if she offended her. Even if Shen Zisheng knew her, she had a hundred ways to make this girl unlucky, and she didn't know it.

Thinking of this, Song Baiyi smiled and said: "This is a good attention, you are fellow villagers, and you should take care of each other." ”

Hu Qing, who had been standing on the side, had been the background board for a long time, probably impatient, so he raised his feet and left.

Xiao Xia didn't know why, but if he was impatient, he wouldn't go far anyway. I don't know if it's because I'm angry, but I just didn't catch up.

"Uncle Zisheng, you can study in the academy with peace of mind! If you still can't get out of the city for two days, I'll go see you. ”

"Shen Wu is gone, you hurry up and catch up! Which inn do you stay in, I'll look for you when I have time. Shen Zisheng thought that following Xiao Xia was Shen Wu, the son who passed on to Shen Zhong. Shen Wu originally had a bad reputation in the village, and it was normal for him to be polite, and it was reasonable for Shen Zisheng to misunderstand like this.
