The day of the twelfth lunar month is short, and before the gate is closed, it is almost dark.
Of course, this is also because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are too many people going out to buy and visit relatives, so the owners had to quietly relax the access control and would only close the door to the evening.
There are people everywhere on the streets. There are also children who are crazy, who are playing firecrackers, kick shuttlecocks on the roadside, and clapping their hands and singing nursery rhymes for the New Year.
“Twenty-three, paste window flowers; twenty-four, sweep the house.
Twenty-five, grind tofu, twenty-six, stew big meat.
Twenty-seven, go to the market, twenty-eight, take a bath.
Twenty-nine, please ask the door god, celebrate the New Year on the night of thirty..."
Su Yingxiu leaned her head against Lu Yun's shoulder, and the fire meteor with colorful flames in her hand, listening to the nursery rhymes with satisfaction.
Lu Yun was very regular, just holding Su Yingxiu's left hand with his right hand. But today, he had already broken through the limit several times...
"I am so happy today. The wish I have been fulfilled for so many years!" It was almost time to Shengpingfang that Su Yingxiu stood up reluctantly and threw away the fire meteor that had already been extinguished in his hand.
"Where is this? It's just lively on the Lantern Festival." Lu Yun blurted out: "When the food will be ten times more fun than today, and he will also put on lanterns and juggle..."
"Are you inviting me?" Su Yingxiu blinked her eyes narrowly. Even in the night, her eyes were still as bright as black gems, making people's heart-wrenching.
"Uh..." Lu Yun was stunned. When he thought about what he said, it seemed that he really meant. He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he forced himself to hold it back.
After grunting for a long time, Lu Yun said with a rough neck: "That's right..."
After saying that, he closed his eyes depressedly, thinking that he would definitely be teased by this witch again. Unexpectedly, after waiting, he did not wait for Su Yingxiu's laughter.
Lu Yun opened his eyes strangely, but found that Su Yingxiu's gaze dimmed.
He couldn't help but feel nervous, and waved his hand in a panic and said, "It's me Meng Lang..."
"My husband finally spoke up for him, and I was naturally very happy." Su Yingxiu shook his head and carefully looked at Lu Yun's handsome and suffocating face. After a long time, he said: "But to be honest with my husband, I have never played the things you took me to play today..."
"Is that right?" Lu Yun was stunned. The things he tried with Su Yingxiu today were all things that he would buy for his children, from rich officials to ordinary people. Besides, Su Yingxiu is Sun Yuanlang's beloved disciple, so what can't be played with?
"It's true." Su Yingxiu suddenly said sadly: "I grew up in Taiping City, where water turns into ice in less than October. People are just thinking about how to survive the long winter without spending a little effort on these useless things."
"So that's it..." Lu Yun nodded and thought to himself, that's probably because Sun Yuanlang wanted her, the saint, to set an example.
"If you have the opportunity to live in Taiping City for a while in the future, I think your view on Taiping Dao will definitely change. They are all arrogant people who swear to defend my Chinese clothes to the death, but they are unwilling tolerated by the courts of all generations and have suffered hardships in the bitter and cold land..."
"So today's enjoyment is already a terrible thing for me. If I have a carnival with you on the Lantern Festival again, I will have no face to face them." Su Yingxiu said to Lu Yun as if he was defending himself, and as if he was self-pity. The glitter in his eyes darkened, "I don't know, can you understand if you say this?"
But how could a young man from a noble family like Lu Yun understand his thoughts? Su Yingxiu smiled self-deprecatingly, and asking Lu Yun in this way would be a quarrel.
"I understand..." Unexpectedly, Lu Yun gently covered Su Yingxiu's cold little hand, as if using her cheeks and palms to help her warm up. "I really understand that it was a kind of guilt that seemed to betray someone else..."
After hearing Lu Yun's words, Su Yingxiu's dim eyes lit up in an instant, but in a flash, another mist appeared. Crystal drops of water seemed to be hanging on her long eyelashes...
Lu Yun was about to speak, but Su Yingxiu stretched out her hands and gently held his face.
Lu Yun couldn't speak immediately, his heartbeat was like beating a drum, and he could hear it clearly.
Su Yingxiu gently tiptoed, Lu Yun widened his eyes, watching her face getting closer and closer to him, so close that he could feel her breathing...
"Close your eyes." Su Yingxiu suddenly became shy.
Lu Yun quickly closed his eyes. The next moment, a soft touch came from his lips...
The cold lips were printed together, but there was actually no special sensory stimulation, but Lu Yun's heartbeat seemed to have stopped.
After a while, he realized that the soft and fragrant feeling on his lips had long disappeared, and only a piece of coldness remained.
Lu Yun opened his eyes in a loss, and where was the shadow of Su Yingxiu in front of him?
.
At the corner of the street, Cui Ning'er, who had been waiting there for a long time, widened her eyes and looked at Su Yingxiu who had turned around one step and three times.
It was not until Lu Yun's figure disappeared into the night that Su Yingxiu turned around reluctantly and saw Cui Ning'er in a daze.
Su Yingxiu sorted out her hair with some guilt and asked Cui Ning'er, "Where is the Lu sister?"
"I have sent her home long ago. I found that you and Mr. Lu are missing, and she is still worried. Will you be bullied by her?" Cui Ning'er said as she laughed: "Actually, whoever bullies him has to say it well."
"People mouth." Su Yingxiu knew that she couldn't help herself, and was seen by Cui Ning'er. In the past, she had always been unscrupulous with this little girl and dared to make any jokes. But today, Su Yingxiu felt shy and ignored Cui Ning'er and walked towards the gate with her head down.
Seeing that the saint was really shy, Cui Ning'er dared to joke with Su Yingxiu again? She quickly accelerated her pace and whispered to change the topic: "Miss, how did he answer you?"
"I didn't tell him." Su Yingxiu shook her head and sighed softly.
"Ah? Then what have you been doing all day?" Cui Ning'er was shocked and stamped her feet in an anxious manner, saying, "Miss, isn't it said that only Mr. Lu can help us get through this level in front of us?"
"I thought of another way, so I don't need him..." Su Yingxiu said toughly, but tears suddenly flowed in her eyes.
"Then why are you crying?" Cui Ning'er was completely confused by the saint.
"Who cried?" Su Yingxiu wiped the tears with her sleeves, and finally returned to peace and said: "So what if they join forces? This saint soldier comes to block the enemy, and the water comes to cover the earth."
Cui Ning'er looked at the abnormal saint in confusion, smacked her lips, not knowing what to say.
At this time, the gate not far away began to slowly close. The two of them hurriedly ran a few steps and rushed into Shengpingfang before closing the door.
