The two sat under the moon, drinking wine. The moonlight shone on them, making them look like they were draped in silver light, as beautiful as gods.

Especially when Shen Ye was drunk, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and his stubbornness and smile were so captivating that people dared not look directly at him. He gently leaned his head on Su Yan's shoulder, and the two looked like a perfect couple.

Passersby were utterly astonished; such a distinguished figure was actually a homosexual...

At this moment, Shen Ye leaned on Su Yan's shoulder like a little girl. If it weren't for his men's clothing, who would know that these were two men?

"Su Yan, do you miss home?"

“I want to, but I want even more…” Su Yan’s eyes flickered, and he paused, “to be with you.” He said the last sentence very softly.

"Look, Kongming lanterns," Shen Ye said, pointing to the sky like a child.

Su Yan looked up and saw many Kongming lanterns rising into the sky, their vibrant colors dispelling the darkness, dazzlingly beautiful. These lanterns carried heavy blessings, flying far away...

Shen Ye cried, a heartbreaking cry, and then laughed, a laugh like a child.

Su Yan suddenly turned around, the silvery moonlight illuminating his features in the still night: long, willow-like eyebrows, dark eyes, and thin, pink lips beneath a high, straight nose.

The night was so beautiful, so dreamlike and enchanting. Su Yan looked at the person in front of him, his expression inexplicably tender.

"Changjun".

"Hmm?" Shen Ye lifted her head off Su Yan's shoulder and looked at him quietly.

"Are you willing to leave here and come with me to Suzhou?"

Shen Ye chuckled, "Why are you suddenly asking this? Are you going back?"

"no......"

"What is that?"

"It's nothing," Su Yan chuckled.

The two fell silent, and the atmosphere grew quiet. Suddenly, Chen Ye spoke up, "I remember when I was little, every Mid-Autumn Festival, my mom would take me to release sky lanterns. So I asked my mom, 'Will you take me to release sky lanterns every year?' My mom said yes. Later, when I was 15, she got sick and left me."

Her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "I stood behind the door, peeking out to look at her. In her last moments, my mother reached out to touch my face one last time. The moment her hand lifted, she fell asleep..."

"Don't be too sad. Your aunt hasn't left you. She's watching over you from heaven."

Shen Ye turned his head and looked at Su Yan. Su Yan was already extremely handsome, but now, with tears in his eyes, he was even more charming. He said calmly, "Is that so?"

"Yes, believe me."

It wasn't until dawn that Shen Ye and Su Yan returned to the Prince's Mansion.

The door was ajar; it opened with a gentle push. Someone had come in! Shen Ye immediately looked up and saw a tall figure by the window with his back to him.

"Who's there?" Shen Ye asked tentatively.

After asking a few questions, the person did not respond, but remained standing there calmly and motionless. Was it a dummy?

Shen Ye mustered his courage and took a few steps closer before realizing that the person's back looked familiar. After taking a few more steps and looking more closely, he exclaimed, "Damn it! It's that plague god surnamed Lian again!"

Shen Ye was so angry that he almost cursed, "Lian Jingzhi, are you sick? Get out of here right now, or do you believe I'll spread the word that Prince Ning'an likes to sneak into servants' rooms at night to spy on them!"

Lian Jingzhi remained motionless, as if petrified, his back always turned to Shen Ye.

"What the hell are you doing?" Seeing that he ignored her, Shen Ye couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to his side, grabbing him in a fit of anger.

He turned around, looking at Shen Ye with a gloomy expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you go with Su Yan tonight?"
