Chapter 226 I make a wish and the person next to me grow old
Shen Cangzhu arrived at Jinhua Palace on time, but did not receive Chu Xingchen. He only received a message from her, saying that she had left the palace and left an address for Shen Cangzhu to go there.
There was a reason why Chu Xingchen left the palace early. Everyone knew the meaning of the Qixi Festival. Lingzhou had said before that they wanted to play together, but she didn't agree and came again early in the morning.
Xiao Wang had something to discuss with her. When he saw Lingzhou, he said that he could eat some sweet fruits in the palace and place lanterns for everyone to play together.
Chu Xingchen had already made an appointment with Shen Cangzhu, so he could only say that he had something to do and left the palace early with a guilty conscience.
As soon as Ling Zhou heard that he had given up, he immediately went out to look for Chu Xingchen.
Xiao Wangwu was not in a hurry to go out. He was waiting for Shen Cangzhu. When he saw Shen Cangzhu leaving the palace without hesitation, he guessed right.
She chose Shen Cangzhu.
No fool would know what would happen if they went out alone during the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Xiao Wang gritted his teeth and told Jinyan, "Follow me."
If you are a villain, just be a villain. He can't do nothing.
The carriages went out one after another. Xiao Wang followed secretly, but he was still noticed.
"Mr. Side, someone is following us, it's Xiao Shaoqing."
"Get rid of him." Shen Cangzhu said without hesitation. There was no way he would let Xiao Wang join them again on such a special day as tonight.
Because of Xiao Wang, Shen Cangzhu came a little late, "Sorry, I was a little late."
"I thought you weren't coming." Chu Xingchen stood up, "Let's go, it's really busy outside."
She couldn't wait to get out.
Chu Xingchen and Shen Cangzhu came down from the teahouse, but accidentally bumped into someone at the door.
"Brother Shen." A familiar call came out, and Chu Xingchen took a closer look. Isn't this Luo Wan'er?
Did we actually encounter this?
"Miss Luo." Shen Cangzhu was stunned for a moment and responded politely, then looked at the man beside Luo Waner.
Luo Wan'er followed Shen Cangzhu's gaze and responded, looking away, "This is..."
"I am Xiang Qiming, Wan'er's fiancé." Xiang Qiming is tall and well-proportioned. He looked at Shen Cangzhu, his thin lips raised as pale as water.
After introducing to Qiming, he looked at Chu Xingchen beside Shen Cangzhu who could not be ignored.
Chu Xingchen did not wear red today, but wore a rare moon-white dress, which was exactly the same color as Shen Cangzhu's, with a kind of silent intimacy.
She didn't wear a curtain hat because she thought it was hot and inconvenient. In order to avoid meeting acquaintances, Chu Xingchen wore a thin veil on her face, which was breathable and beautiful.
The effect is really good. Once the veil is worn, it has a mysterious beauty, and people who come and go can't help but take a few more glances.
Luo Wan'er recognized Chu Xingchen at a glance. A trace of uneasiness flashed across her face and she was about to salute.
"Miss Luo, there's no need to be polite." Chu Xingchen said immediately.
Xiang Qiming instantly realized who Chu Xingchen was, and quickly looked away, apologizing.
Naturally, Chu Xingchen would not blame him. It was the first time she met Luo Wan'er's fiancé. He had single eyelids, a nose as sharp as a knife, was humble and gentle, and had a bit of cheerfulness. The first impression he gave was very good.
But Chu Xingchen felt that it was a bit inconsistent. How should I put it, it was a bit fake. His eyes were not like this just now. He looked very arrogant and gentle, but he exuded pride in his bones, which made people feel distant.
But when he looked at Luo Wan'er, his whole person became warm, and his eyes revealed intoxicating tenderness.
Meeting like this was always full of embarrassment, and because they were standing at the door blocking the way, they quickly said goodbye and separated.
Chu Xingchen was polite when he said goodbye, and when he turned around, he pursed his lips.
"Brother Shen, do you like this title? Do you want me to call you Brother Shen too?"
Brother Shen's voice sounded somewhat strange, and Shen Cangzhu didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"I just got used to shouting when I was a kid, so I probably won't shout anymore in the future." He explained quickly.
Chu Xingchen was fine at first, but after hearing the explanation, he couldn't. This was a disguised reminder of their childhood sweethearts.
"That means I don't deserve to shout."
Shen Cangzhu was shocked when he heard this, "Why don't you deserve it? I've been waiting for you to call me brother Cangzhu, sister Xingchen."
Chu Xingchen couldn't help laughing, "I can't shout."
"You will always shout out in the future." Shen Cangzhu breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her sleeves, "Let's go, it's so lively in front."
Shen Cangzhu took Chu Xingchen around. That night, Chu Xingchen saw the most girls on the street. Some of them came out together, and there were also flower protectors following them. Some of them had many flower protectors.
Chu Xingchen was in a good mood, everything he watched was interesting, and everything was fun. The same was true for Shen Cangzhu, who had endless things to say to protect her.
After walking around for more than half an hour, we arrived at the place where everyone put the lotus lanterns, "Let's go put the lotus lanterns, and you can make a wish."
Putting out lotus lanterns is an indispensable part of the Chinese Valentine's Day. Shen Cangzhu had already prepared it and sent the lotus lanterns out together with her wishes.
The lotus lanterns slowly floated away along the water, surrounded by people making wishes and placing lotus lanterns. It was so beautiful.
"What did you wish for?"
"Then what wish did you make?" Chu Xingchen asked, stirring the water with his hand.
"My wife should be able to guess my wish. After all, I'm still waiting for a reply."
As Shen Cangzhu spoke, he looked at Chu Xingchen with incredibly gentle eyes.
Chu Xingchen's heart beat faster. She took a deep breath and said, "I promise to grow old with the person next to me."
She was a little jealous and unhappy just now, and she knew the reason very well.
I said before that I wanted to give Shen Cangzhu an answer, and today is the best opportunity.
Shen Cangzhu should have understood such an obvious answer... Chu Xingchen was just thinking about it when he heard Shen Cangzhu say.
"Who is the person next to you? You have to tell me his name."
Chu Xingchen was just about to say, of course it's you, when she caught Shen Cangzhu's gaze. She turned around and saw Zhou Buyan next to her.
Zhou Buyan didn't know when he reached the other side of her and blocked the people next to her, fearing that she would fall into the river.
Chu Xingchen looked over, and Zhou Buyan looked up at her, his hand still stretched out.
Chu Xingchen: "...Zhou Buyan, didn't I give you a holiday?" An acquaintance was embarrassed, and Chu Xingchen even gave him a special holiday.
Zhou Buyian only said: "It's not safe outside."
He was worried, so he kept following.
"Let's go." Shen Cangzhu saw that there were really many people, and hurriedly left the river with Chu Xingchen.
Zhou Buyan glanced at the lantern that Chu Xingchen let go, and he could recognize it at a glance.
After placing the lotus lantern, if the lotus lantern suddenly sinks or the light goes out, the wish will not come true.
He turned the pebbles in his hand. Although he wanted to take action, he held back in the end.
The most important thing between men and women is atmosphere. The atmosphere between Chu Xingchen and Shen Cangzhu was obviously gone. Chu Xingchen looked at Shen Cangzhu and said, "You understand what I mean. In short, as long as you understand."
"Yes." Shen Cangzhu nodded, looking at Chu Xingchen and reluctant to move away, and couldn't help but hold Chu Xingchen's sleeve with his hand.
It didn't take any effort, but it made him happy enough.
He even wanted to tie their sleeves together so that they would never be separated.
