Chapter 208 New Year’s Eve Date

 Tingyun went out, went downstairs, and walked to the street.

During the busiest traditional festival, the streets are the cleanest and people are reunited at home.

Stop and click on the taxi app to call a taxi. After placing the order, there is still no response from the vehicle.

This is normal on New Year’s Eve.

There's no rush for Tingyun, as long as you can catch the fireworks at midnight, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer.

He calmly took out his mobile phone and chatted with Qingyu.

It was really cold, and his hands were frozen after typing for a while, so he just texted her.

After waiting for a while, a car finally answered. After waiting for another ten minutes, the car drove over.

After Tingyun got in the car, he made a direct voice call to Qingyu:

"I'm going to pick you up. Get ready. Remember to take the flashlight and wait for me at home. Come back down when I call you.

"It's hard to call a taxi tonight, so let's take this car."

Let her prepare in advance and be ready to go out at any time. But don’t let her come out early and wait, lest she get cold.

The taxi passed through the streets on New Year's Eve. Outside the car window, it was extremely lively and extremely quiet.

During the Chinese New Year, all kinds of lanterns will be put up on both sides of the Qingshui River, stretching for nearly 20 kilometers, which is brilliant and dazzling.

But tonight, people are all reunited at home and do not care to appreciate the beautiful lanterns. It will not be until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that people will flock to Qingshui River to watch the lanterns in large numbers.

The taxi took Tingyun through this quiet and magnificent scenery and arrived at the gate of Qingyu's community.

Before the car stopped, Zhan Yun saw Qingyu wearing a red down jacket, with his hands in his pockets, standing at the entrance of the community, jumping up and down from time to time, as if to ward off the cold.

He asked the driver to stop the car in front of Qingyu.

Qingyu laughed when she saw him in the back seat.

Tingyun opened the car door from inside and asked her to get in.

Qingyu got into the car, and as soon as he closed the door, his hand was held by Tingyun:

"Your hands are so cold, did you come down before I called you? Why didn't you wear gloves?"

How can I hold hands with gloves on? How can I let you put my hand in your pocket?

Qingyu smiled sweetly at him and didn't answer.

Tingyun put her hands together in his palms and rubbed them back and forth. He raised his head and said to the taxi driver: "Master, go to Lanshan Park."

The taxi restarted and drove through the brightly lit city again toward Arashiyama.

When they were approaching Arashiyama, the driver turned around and asked them: "Should we go to the main entrance or the dirt road? The main entrance must not be open today."

Tingyun also expected this: "Let's go to the dirt road."

The taxi stopped at the foot of Arashiyama. The two got out of the car and immediately turned on the flashlight.

The taxi drove away, and the surrounding area fell into darkness. Only the flashlights in the hands of the two people emitted bright light and made two circles of light.

Tingyun smiled and asked Qingyu: "Are you afraid?"

She would definitely be scared if she came alone in such a dark place. People with night blindness always have an insurmountable fear of the dark.

But with him by her side, she is no longer afraid. No matter how dark the road is, he will lead her through it.

She smiled and shook her head: "You are here, so I'm not afraid. But why would you want to come here to watch the fireworks? Who would come to the mountain to set off fireworks?"

Tingyun smiled: "Who said you're watching it here? I'm going to take you to Chaolan Pavilion on the top of the mountain to watch the fireworks."

Only then did Qingyu understand.

Lanshan is the highest mountain in Lancheng City. A three-story high platform called Chaolan Pavilion is built on the top of the mountain. Standing there, you can overlook the panoramic view of Lancheng.

Tonight, you can naturally see the fireworks all over the city. Speaking of which, it is really the best place to watch fireworks.

Qingyu looked at him with admiration: "How did you think of it? Let's go quickly, we must arrive at Chaolan Pavilion before midnight!"

Tingyun switched the flashlight to his left hand and held her left hand with his right hand: "Can you see the mountain road clearly? The brightness of these two flashlights should be enough."

"Yes." Qingyu smiled and nodded.

Even if he could, Tingyun still held her hand and walked up the mountain with her.

There are two roads in Lanshan. The one at the main entrance is a regular cement road, and this one is completely trodden by the mountain climbing enthusiasts in Lancheng.

The road is not difficult to walk, but it is night now, so it is a bit difficult to walk.

Tingyun leads Qingyu, and two flashlights cast two circles in front, illuminating the road under their feet. Every stone and tree can be seen clearly.

Tingyun was still worried that it was not bright enough, so he reminded her when he saw that the road was not easy to walk:

"There are roots, be careful of tripping."

"There is a stone, move it this way."

"There is a small pit here, go around it."

She could actually see what he said under the light of the flashlight. But he was willing to remind her, and she was willing to listen to his reminder.

The mountains at night were originally very scary, with the shadowy woods and the sound of wind roaring like wild beasts.

But when two people hold hands and walk together, they don't feel scared.

The white halo is like a warm and bright barrier, blocking out all the cold and darkness.

At around 11:30, the two arrived at Chaolan Pavilion.

Chaolan Pavilion is a three-story building, with a circle of small lights on the eaves of each floor. Every night, the small lights will light up, illuminating the surrounding area.

There were lights in the pavilion, so the two of them climbed the stairs to the third floor without any obstacles and walked to the corridor outside the house.

This is a "hui"-shaped corridor, connected end to end. Visitors can stand in any direction and enjoy the scenery.

The direction in which Tingyun and Qingyu come out is due north, facing the Qingshui River.

At this time, the lanterns on both sides of the Qingshui River were all lit up. It was really bright and colorful.

At the head of Tingzhou Bridge in the middle section of Qingshui River, two dragon heads are raised high, looking at a huge pearl together.

And this pearl-like lantern hangs above the Tingzhou Bridge.

The bodies of the two dragons stretch out to the east and west, one soars into the clouds and the other plunges into the sea, looking majestic.

These two dragons are on the north bank of Qingshui River.

On the south bank of Qingshui River, the area is vast and there are more lanterns.

In the square of the sports park, there is a huge white rabbit lantern. The white rabbit is cute and naive, wearing a red bellyband with a big word "福" written on it.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the three big lights in full view, which is better than looking up close. But the other small lights cannot be seen clearly, and you can only see the colorful ones.

Qingyu held her hand on the railing, looked at the lights in the distance, and said in a cheerful tone:

"A lot of lights have been put up this year! It's a pity that it's too far away to see clearly. Zingyun, let's go see the lights someday?"

Tingyun smiled: "I find that every time you do it, before this date is over, you make a date for the next one. You have trapped me tightly!"

Qingyu turned around and wrinkled her nose at him: "It's like I'm using a trick on you!"

Tingyun smiled: "I didn't think so, how could you use routines? You can't help yourself!"

Qingyu gave him a cute look, turned to look at the dragon lantern on the other side of the river, and said to him behind her: "Just tell me whether you want to go or not!"
