On the day of the Lantern Festival, except for Gu Yunxiao who stayed at home with Zheng Xiuyun, the rest of the Gu family went out as a group when the lanterns were first lit, and the whole family went to see the Lantern Festival together.

At night, the streets of Huating County are brilliantly illuminated by various lanterns. Among the bustling crowds, the cries and shouts of vendors can be heard one after another, interspersed with the laughter of urchins and the scolding of parents. The numerous lights

Underneath, a layer of gauze-like softness lightly covers the smiling faces, enveloping the bubbling popularity in this winter.

They are both lantern festivals, but Lantern Festival and Chinese Valentine's Day are different. At this moment, people are still in the lively aftertaste of the New Year, and their whole bodies are filled with happiness and joy. They are all ready to enjoy traveling with their families again at the end of the Spring Festival.

It's fun.

Although Gu Yunqiao has become much more calm and reserved in the past two years, she can't help but be infected by such a lively and festive atmosphere at this moment, awakening the liveliness and excitement deep in her heart. She opened her bright and clear eyes, and pulled

Gu Yunji looked around, his face full of curiosity and excitement.

"Brother!" Gu Yunqiao tugged on Gu Yunji's sleeve and stared at a stall without blinking, "There are some beautiful lanterns over there!"

Gu Yunji rarely saw his sister so happy. When he saw her showing the rare attitude of a little daughter, he felt soft in his heart and gently stroked the top of her hair: "Then let's go and take a look."

With that said, Gu Yunji led Gu Yunqiao to the stall, turned his head and asked: "Which one do you like? If you like it, I will buy it for you."

Gu Yunqiao was dazzled by the dazzling array of gadgets here. The lanterns he had just noticed at first glance were not very impressive in comparison, so he became entangled and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Gu Yunji didn't rush him, and just waited for her to pick it slowly. While waiting a little bored, his attention was suddenly attracted by a bracelet in the corner.

This is a smoky blue crystal bracelet, exquisite and clear, with a clear texture and looks elegant and pure.

Looking at this bracelet, Gu Yunji suddenly remembered Xu Shuhua's wrist, which was as thin, white and delicate as a jade bamboo shoot. Such a dexterous and white hand would look even better if paired with this crystal bracelet.

Thinking like this, Gu Yunji immediately bought the crystal bracelet and carefully put it in the box and put it away.

Here, Gu Yunqiao finally picked out a cute rabbit lantern. When he turned around, he found that Gu Yunji had bought a woman's bracelet. He couldn't help but be a little confused: "Brother, why did you buy this kind of bracelet for girls? Is it for you?"

To whom?"

When asked by Gu Yunqiao, Gu Yunji was a little embarrassed: "I want to give it to someone as a gift."

Catching a glimpse of the tips of his blushing ears, Gu Yunqiao's heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Brother, you can't be... someone is in your heart, right?"

Gu Yunji's hand holding the box tightened suddenly, he buried his head in embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "Yes, yes... I have someone I like."

Gu Yunqiao was suddenly startled and asked with some worry: "Brother, you have stayed in the academy all year round and have not had much contact with girls from wealthy families. Are you fooling around outside and being seduced by some hooker girl?

?”

"What are you talking about!" Gu Yunji glared at her with dissatisfaction, "She is a young lady from a serious family, talented and well-educated, elegant and beautiful, how can she be compared with a Goulan girl?"

Hearing what he said, Gu Yunqiao felt slightly relieved, but when he thought of how pregnant Gu Yunji was when he just bought the bracelet, he felt disapproval in his heart and said disapprovingly: "In this case, brother should inform his parents and ask the parents to be honest.

Instead of giving a random bracelet, which seems frivolous!"

Gu Yunji lowered his head to look at the brocade box containing the bracelet in his arms, and muttered: "This is how it should be. But I'm not worthy of her yet, so I don't dare to propose marriage. I'll buy this bracelet and keep it for later.

In the future, when I pass the Jinshi examination and get engaged to her, I will give it to her generously."

"Ouch, my silly brother!" Gu Yunqiao poked his head with his finger angrily, "Look at you, your soul has been taken away! Since you said you are not worthy of me, you can't

Could it be that you are wishful thinking and have unrequited love here?"

Hearing this, Gu Yunji instantly raised his head and said confidently: "I don't have unrequited love! We have the same mind, she, she also likes me..."

Being stared at by Gu Yunqiao, Gu Yunji became more and more embarrassed as he spoke, and his voice became softer and softer. Finally, he simply turned his head and avoided her sight.

Gu Yunqiao looked amused and followed Gu Yunji's movements relentlessly, looking narrowly into his lowered eyes: "Brother, look at your worthless look! Which girl is it that makes you so attracted?

Can you tell me? As for what is worthy or not, maybe you are belittling yourself, what if the girl doesn’t have this intention? "

Gu Yunji's face was as red as a ripe shrimp, and his ears were a shy pink. He turned sideways to avoid his sister's burning gaze, touched his nose to cover up, and prevaricated: "You don't care what you do, but now there is still no trace.

What's the matter? Maybe when you find a sweetheart, you will be less promising than me!"

"Ah, father and mother have gone so far! Let's stop talking and catch up!" Gu Yunji looked up and looked ahead. After saying this in a pretentious manner, he raised his legs and walked quickly without waiting for Gu Yunqiao's reaction.

When he stepped forward, his movements seemed to be like running away.

Gu Yunqiao, who stayed where he was, shook his head and laughed. Just as he was about to follow his footsteps, he was knocked away by a sudden flow of people. When he was trying to avoid it, Gu Yunji had already disappeared.

"Brother!" Gu Yunqiao shouted from a distance, but received no response. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She wanted to get rid of the crowd blocking her, but she was squeezed further by several groups of people. During the pushing, Gu Yunqiao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Yun Qiao's body was unstable and he was about to fall to the ground.

"Miss Gu, be careful." At this time, a gentle voice came from behind. Gu Yunqiao felt an arm gently support her back with just the right amount of force, stabilizing her shaky body.

Body.

Then, the hand was quickly retracted, and the gentleman behaved himself without making any unnecessary movements.

After standing still, Gu Yunqiao turned around and saw a clear young man with a familiar face standing there. She asked with some uncertainty: "...Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Yan smiled slightly: "I just met Master Gu at the wedding banquet last year, but I didn't expect that Miss Gu would still remember my name."

Gu Yunqiao sorted out his slightly flustered mood and said to him, "Thank you Mr. Cheng for helping me just now."

Cheng Yan nodded and said politely: "It's just a small effort. Miss Gu doesn't need to say thank you."

When Gu Yunqiao saw Cheng Yan alone, he couldn't help asking: "Did Mr. Cheng come to the lantern festival alone?"

Cheng Yan said: "I was originally traveling with my family, but I saw Yun Ji here from a distance earlier, so I came over alone to say a few words to him, but I didn't expect to see Miss Gu."

"Qiaoqiao, are you okay?"

At this time, Gu Yunji, who had not waited for his sister, turned back worriedly. Seeing that his sister was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Cheng Yan next to him with some surprise: "Cheng Yan? Why are you here?"

Cheng Yan said: "Just now I saw you over there from a distance, and I wanted to come over and say hello to you, but I didn't expect to be dispersed by the crowd."

"Oh, that's it." Gu Yunji didn't hesitate anymore, "I can't find where my father and mother are now. In that case, why don't the three of us travel together?"

Cheng Yan smiled and agreed: "Of course it's no problem."
