Chapter 81: The Crescent Moon

After Xiao Ling said that, he walked forward silently.

Yun An looked at her back and followed her closely.

Seeing Xiao Ling and Yun An leaving, Liang Caicai stood there for a long time.

"You...want this?" Liang Yi asked uncertainly.

Seeing that he took the initiative to ask, Liang Caicai nodded immediately, "I want that."

Liang Yi bought it for her, and she carefully took the candy man with the corners of her mouth raised crazily. When she looked up, she saw that Liang Yi was already walking in front, so she quickly followed with the candy man.

In late spring and early summer, Bai Yi and Yuan Mu came to the stall next to them.

In late spring, he randomly picked a candy man that he liked, pointed to the dialogue and said: "Buy it for me."

Bai Yi didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately offered the candy man his hands.

Yuan Mu looked at Huan Xia nervously, "Are you happy..."

"I don't need it," Huan Xia said directly, and then chased Ye Sili forward.

Yuanmu stood there in despair. Bai Yi, who was standing beside him, reached out and patted him, reminding him: "Why don't you buy one as a gift?"

Yuanmu struggled: "But she said she didn't want it."

Late spring ate the candy in her hand and said, "Why don't you give it to her if she says she doesn't want it? Huan Xia is right, you are really an idiot."

Bai Yi couldn't help but feel worried for him and urged: "Hurry up, everyone is gone."

Yuanmu finally realized what he was doing, stood in front of the stall, carefully selected a candy man, and quickly chased after him.

This night, the autumn wind is slightly cool, and the moon and stars are sparse.

The streets were noisy and crowded.

Ye Sili, Xiao Ling and Liang Caicai walked hand in hand through the sea of ​​people, looking for the excitement everywhere.

Gu Liyou and the others have been following them, and they are very familiar and conscientious as they pay the bills and carry things for them.

There were crowds of people on the street. Huan Xia held the candy man in her hand, but when she turned around, her princess was nowhere to be seen. Even Wuchun and Bai Yi didn't know where they had gone.

Yuan Mu walked beside her, she said nothing and he said nothing.

These two people seemed out of place with the noise around them.

A troupe passed by in front of them. Various objects were pushed on wooden carts, slowly weaving through the crowd.

"careful."

As the wooden cart passed by the two of them, Yuan Mu reacted quickly and stretched out his hand to gently pull Huan Xia to the side of the road.

Yuan Mu's palms are so wide that he can completely hold Huan Xia's forearm with one hand.

The palm of his hand gradually became hot, and Huan Xia broke free from his restraint.

"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Yuanmu let go of her hand and said at a loss.

The troupe's wooden cart happened to pass by, and a man on the other side caught Huan Xia's eyes.

Huan Xia turned to look at the opposite side, her eyes instantly alert as she said, "This person looks so familiar."

Yuanmu followed her line of sight, and across the crowd in the middle of the street, a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat and black coarse clothes walked past with his head slightly lowered. Yuanmu was surprised and whispered: "He was the one who assassinated Liang at that time.

The lady’s person.”

!!!

The two of them were alert for a moment, and glanced nonchalantly in the direction the man was leaving. They scanned their surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that nothing was going on.

The closure of the case between the Liang Mansion and the Zhou Mansion was the decree of the Holy Father himself. Now that the case has been closed, no one can question it.

The man disappeared on the street, which was still bustling with joy. Huan Xia and Yuan Mu saw that their princess and the young master had disappeared, so they did not dare to delay and hurriedly chased after him.

"Wow, Si Li, look down there, it's so beautiful."

Xiao Ling stood on the pavilion, holding on to the vermilion railing, leaning forward slightly. Under her slender fingers was most of the night view of Kyoto.

In addition to the palace building, this is the tallest building in Kyoto. When you climb up to the building, you can see thousands of lights in the distance.

At this time, it was late at night but no one was quiet.

What catches the eye are the lights of thousands of houses, the lively night market, and the simple and friendly smiles of the people.

"Yeah, it's so beautiful. It turns out that the night view of Kyoto is so stunning." Ye Sili looked down excitedly. She caught a glimpse of the stall where they were buying candy, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Gu Li beside her on the left.

worry.

By chance, the person she was looking at was also looking at her.

Mu Jiufeng stepped forward and stood next to her right side. Seeing Ye Sili talking to Gu Liyou with a smile, he couldn't help but roll his eyes to the sky, turned to complain to Xiao Ling beside him: "Look, look, look.

, we are obviously playmates who grew up together, but she only has Liyou in her eyes and doesn’t care about us at all.”

Xiao Ling looked away from the lights of Wanjia and looked only at him, her tone pretending to be relaxed, "Yes, he doesn't care about me at all."

There seemed to be a hint of loneliness in her eyes, and Mu Jiufeng thought he had seen it wrong.

She doesn't care about me at all.

Mu Jiufeng turned his head and looked at Ye Sili who was holding out his hand to point Gu Liyou, and smiled at Xiao Ling:

"Have you also been left out by Si Li? That's how she is. Whenever Li You is around, she won't care about others. But don't be too disappointed. You are always her good sister."

Xiao Ling looked at him dreamily, with some unexplainable meaning in his eyes, and his expression was slightly sad. Finally, he slowly looked away from his face, and finally returned to the lights of thousands of houses.

Seeing that the smile on her face was still there, Mu Jiufeng knew that he had really made a mistake just now, and she was obviously very happy.

At midnight, the bright moon shines high.

"Look, the moon is beautiful tonight."

Liang Caicai stood beside Liang Yi, speaking gracefully.

It is strange to say that Miss Liang used to be famous for being arrogant and domineering among women in Kyoto's boudoir, but now she behaves politely and generously.

Everyone looked up one after another.

There was a bright moon in the sky at night. It was the end of the month. Naturally, it was not the full moon that everyone loved most. At this time, a waning moon hung on the eaves of the building where they were standing. It was not the perfection of poetry and sung, but it had a different flavor.

Although it was a waning moon, the moonlight was not soft, but overflowing with light, illuminating the entire Kyoto. It even fell on the group of people standing on the pole, and also illuminated their way home.

The group of people stood side by side, regardless of the order of hierarchy. At this time, they did not know the rank of the dynasty, they only had close friends.

Yun An secretly glanced at Xiao Ling beside him. He was holding a wrapped handkerchief in his hand hidden behind his back. He rubbed his scarred fingers repeatedly, clearly exposing his inner nervousness and anxiety.

"male……"

"Bang - bang -"

"Wow! Fireworks!"

In an instant, the sky was filled with fireworks.

Xiao Ling looked up excitedly at the colorful fireworks. Yun An silently clenched the handkerchief and hid it, but never took his eyes away from Xiao Ling's face for a moment.

He watched her look at the fireworks in the sky, jumping for joy like a child.

He watched the gorgeous fireworks bloom in her starry eyes, and for a moment, there were vast stars in her eyes.

In an instant, the vast galaxy came into his eyes.

Liang Caicai and Liang Yi stood side by side. Neither of them spoke, but silently watched the fireworks in the sky.

Liang Caicai lowered her head slightly and glanced sideways.

He is clearly right next to you, but it makes people truly feel that he is "so far away".

His profile was sharp and angular, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he exuded indifference.

Even at this moment, even though the sky was filled with fireworks, even though he could clearly detect her timid gaze, there was no tenderness on his face, like a stranger who couldn't learn to smile.

What exactly does he mean?

If she was ruthless, why would she agree to accompany her tonight, why would she buy candy for her, and watch the fireworks with her? If she was ruthless...

That's all, there's nothing remotely affectionate about him.

No wonder my father always said that he was not a good man during his lifetime.

Liang Caicai silently withdrew her gaze, with a wry smile on her lips.

Now that she has nothing, he is willing to accompany her, even if he is thinking of kindness, this is enough.

At least, she still had a relative in this imperial city that was so dark that it seemed to be in the mud.

This is lucky enough.

"Ayou, Ayou, look!" Ye Sili looked excitedly at the fireworks blooming in the sky, and excitedly grabbed Gu Liyou's hand on the railing next to her.

Gu Liyou lowered her head and looked at the slender hand covering his. The autumn wind was bleak, and her hand was also a little cold.

He slowly turned his head and shifted his gaze gradually to her joyful face. Her eyes were full of joy, and his eyes were full of expectation.

"Ali." He called her gently with a somewhat uneasy tone.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ye Sili did not look away, always looking up at each burst of fireworks.

Gu Liyou was not in a hurry and waited quietly for her to respond. When she was tired from raising her neck, he took her hand and moved to the side.

Ye Sili turned to look at Mu Jiufeng and the others at the corner behind them, then looked left and right in confusion and said, "Ayou, what are we doing here?"

Fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the night sky, one sound after another…

Gu Liyou lowered his eyes and deliberately slowed down his breathing, but he couldn't resist the shortness of breath caused by his accelerated heartbeat.

Feeling an increasingly tight external force on her hand, Ye Sili realized that he had held her hand just now and had not let go until now.

For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.

Suddenly, Gu Liyou raised his eyes to look at him, his eyebrows were gentle, and there was a hint of unprecedented nervousness and apprehension between his eyebrows.

"Ali."

His voice is gentle.

"Do you still remember the day you took me back to Mr. Yu's mansion?"

"Of course." Ye Sili nodded.

Gu Liyou turned his head and looked into the distance. The Moon Protecting River surrounds half of Kyoto. From here, you can easily see the Moon Protecting River.

"You saved me then and said you would take me home, so I believed you."

Ayou, I will take you home.

This was something she said when she was young, and she never thought he would still remember it.

"You have always protected me and cared about me these years. Let me ask you, do you really regard me as your own family?"

Ye Sili's eyes turned slightly, why did this sentence seem so familiar?

If I remember correctly, Xiaoling and Caicai asked her this way before.

"Of course, grandfather said, we have been a family for a long time."

Ye Sili said seriously.

When she was young, her father and brother died in the battlefield, and her mother passed away due to illness. She and her grandfather were the only ones left in the once bustling Yugong Mansion, which was frighteningly deserted.

Later, she met Ayou and took him home.

From then on, there was one more person in Yugong's mansion, and she was no longer so scared of being alone.

Grandfather said that Ayou is their family.

Ayou also said that he would always be with her.
