Liangdu usually imposes a curfew. After nightfall, it is strictly forbidden to wander around the streets and be caught. If you are punished.

Today is the Lantern Festival. The court canceled the curfew as usual and held a grand lantern festival. Even the royal family issued an order to share the joy with the people.

The streets are also particularly lively, with crowds everywhere. It feels even more lively than the Spring Festival.

In ancient times, this should have been a rare peaceful time.

When Chen Fan walked on the street, he saw many officials maintaining order. There were people everywhere. If one was not good, chaos would be prone to happen.

In addition to Liu An, he also followed Zhao Gang, the guard guard.

Chen Fan walked around the street and experienced the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, and then went to the yard where Lin Xiuwan often had parties.

The yard is very clean, and there is a table of things in the pavilion.

Chen Fan asked several servants responsible for the yard to go home, and sent Liu An and Zhao Gang away. He sat alone at the table, poured a glass of wine, and waited while drinking.

A pair of lanterns were hung on the pavilion and a few candles were lit on the table.

In the middle of the table, there was a charcoal stove, a copper pot on it, covered with a lid, and it kept steaming upwards.

There were plates of vegetables and various meats next to it. What he prepared today was hot pot.

It will be winter. Liang is located in the north, and it is cold and freezing. Chen Fan also spent some time to develop greenhouse planting technology. It was the first time I made it. I lacked experience and had very low yields, so I could eat it myself.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I saw a light at the entrance of the yard and someone came over with a lantern.

"Come."

Just looking at his figure, Chen Fan knew it was Lin Xiuwan.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Lin Xiuwan walked over alone. Today she wore a lilac long dress wrapped in a white fur coat, which set off her slim figure.

"I just arrived, too."

Chen Fan opened the lid of the pot and put the ingredients into the boiling soup base, saying, "It's the first time we met at night. It feels quite different."

"If it weren't for the Lantern Festival today, there was a lantern festival, I wouldn't have come out." Lin Xiuwan looked at the ingredients on the table and said with some regret, "It would be great if there were chili."

At this time, if you want to get chili peppers, you have to go to America. Chen Fan does not have that great ability yet.

"Try this." Chen Fan handed over a small plate of dipping sauce.

Lin Xiuwan dipped it a little with chopsticks, tasted it, and said, "It's mustard."

"And this one, made of dogwood, also has a spicy flavor."

Lin Xiuwan put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at him, and said softly, "Thank you."

"Why are you so polite?"

Chen Fan poured her a glass of wine. This was a low-alcohol fruit wine, sweet and refreshing, and it was her favorite drink.

He raised his glass and said, "I wish you a happy Lantern Festival."

"Happy Lantern Festival." Lin Xiuwan touched him a glass and drank it all in one go.

The two of them were having a chat.

Suddenly, a ball of fireworks lit up in the sky, illuminating a large night sky.

Fireworks are starting to be set off.

The two looked up and saw fireworks blooming in the air. Every time, they could hear bursts of cheers. The sounds seemed to be far away, and they seemed to be near.

After a while, the fireworks disappeared and everything returned to peace.

Lin Xiuwan put down her chopsticks, stood up, walked to the pavilion, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

The weather was very good tonight, with no dark clouds, and the moon and the stars in the sky were clearly visible.

She suddenly raised her hand, pointed to the horizon, and said, "That's the Big Dipper, right?"

Chen Fan walked to her side and looked in the direction she pointed. He saw stars everywhere. He didn't know which ones she was pointing to, and said, "It should be."

Lin Xiuwan said, "So, this is indeed the earth. We traveled hundreds of years ago."

"To be precise, it should be a parallel world. In history, there was no such Daliang Dynasty."

Lin Xiuwan didn't say anything anymore, staring at the Big Dipper in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chen Fan looked at her face, the fire of the lantern and the bright moonlight seemed to have a layer of light on her face, which looked so moving. There was a strong throbbing in his heart, and he shouted in a tight voice, "Lin Xiuwan."

"Um?"

When she turned her head, Chen Fan kissed her.

A hand was pressed on his face, leaving the kiss empty.

"Don't do this." Lin Xiuwan's voice was very soft, but she was very determined, "I just treat you as a friend..."

"Stop talking."

Chen Fan interrupted her and did not let her continue. From the strength of her hands and the firm tone, he knew that she had no meaning to him.

He turned around and said, "I understand, sorry for what happened today." After that, he walked out.

"Chen Fan..." Lin Xiuwan's shout came from behind. He ignored it and walked out of the yard quickly.

After leaving the door, Chen Fan didn't feel cold at all when he was blown by the cold wind. At this moment, his whole body was still hot.

"It's so embarrassing."

He smiled bitterly, to be honest, it was not that he had not been rejected by women. But this time, he was full of confidence.

In this world, just two time travelers came together, and he thought it was a natural thing. Now it proved that he was thinking too much.

It's so embarrassing to my grandma's house.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

At this time, Liu An and Zhao Gang chased after him.

He said, "It's okay, let's go back."

"But Miss Lin is still inside..."

"Are you going?"

"Let's go, Master, wait for us."

…………

Even though he was embarrassed, Chen Fan had already passed the age of being in love with one's heart, so that was nothing. He went out to have a breakup and played outside for more than ten days before he recovered.

On this day, as soon as Chen Fan arrived home, he was called over by his legitimate mother.

"Chen Fan, you will be eighteen soon. Since you have no intention of taking the scientific exam, you should get married early. This is what your father means. Do you have a girl you like?"

"No. Everything follows your arrangements." Chen Fan knew that since this was what his father meant, there was no room for rejection. This was also the price for him to give up the scientific examination.

Mrs. Chen was very satisfied with his attitude and said, "Okay, wait until I find a few candidates, and then discuss with you. I promise to find a satisfactory woman for you."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, you can look for it slowly."

After talking about the main business, Chen Fan left.

As soon as I returned to the yard, I saw Liu An standing outside the door. As soon as I saw him, I ran over and said excitedly, "Young Master, Miss Lin is here, I'll be waiting for you inside."

Chen Fan said "Oh" and walked in.

"oh?"

Liu An repeated the young master's words and scratched his head in confusion.

In the past, when the young master talked about Miss Lin, he was always very happy. He was never as cold as he is now.
