Yi Yami didn't expect Du Yinye to turn around, which scared her.

"Hello, beautiful sister..." Yi Yami greeted first.

"Who are you?" Du Yinye asked in confusion.

"Where are you from? Why are you following us? Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?" the girl asked Yiyami angrily.

"I, came here to have a banquet, I didn't follow you... I couldn't find the way out, so I came here. I was just about to ask you two how to get out..." Yi Yami looked serious, making it hard to doubt what she said.

Du Yinye pulled the girl's sleeve and said, "Dongmei, don't be like this. I'm a guest here to have a drink."

Dongmei was skeptical after hearing Yiyami's explanation, but when she heard her young lady speak, she gave up and pointed Yiyami in a direction, "You're going the wrong way. This is not the way out. You have to go that way."

Yi Yami pretended to understand, "Oh!! Thank you!"

"Wait a moment, have we met somewhere before?" Du Yinye asked Yi Yami when she saw her turning around to leave.

Yi Yami looks like He Huaizhu, who in turn looks like Zhao Hongying. Coincidentally, He Tuyuan also looks like Zhao Hongying. Fang Caixiu often says she gave birth to a male version of her mother-in-law. So, Yi Yami and He Tuyuan do have some similarities.

"Are you talking about my face?" Yiyami turned around and pointed at her own face and asked.

"Yeah, do you have a brother at home? You look very similar to a friend of mine..." Du Yinye asked.

"I don't have a biological brother, but I have a cousin who is studying at Zhizhi Academy and hasn't returned home yet, so I have never seen him." Yi Yami said truthfully.

When Du Yinye heard that she didn't have a biological brother, her eyes dimmed. But when she heard that she had a cousin, and that he was also studying at Zhizhi Academy like that man, a glimmer of hope ignited. "What's your cousin's name?"

Dongmei pulled Du Yinye's sleeve and said, "Miss, you are a little..."

Du Yinye signaled Dongmei to calm down. She believed in her judgment and knew that the girl in front of her was definitely not the kind of person who would gossip about others.

"My cousin's name is He Tuyuan." Yi Yami said with a smile.

"!!!" Du Yinye's heart beat faster when he heard this name.

"I was wondering why this feels so familiar. It turns out you are his cousin..." Du Yinye figured out the key and said with a smile.

"Beautiful sister, do you know my cousin?" Yi Yami looked at her like this and thought, No way! No way! Could it be that this beautiful sister also likes her cousin? Oh no!

"Well, I met him once at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in town a few years ago. He helped me get a very beautiful orchid lantern. I saw him less and less after that..." Du Yinye began to recall the past.

Four years ago, she had just come of age and her elder sister Du Jinzhi was not married yet. She was very happy at that time. She followed her elder sister Du Jinzhi to the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in the town to play. They went there secretly, so neither of them brought any maids or servants.

Unexpectedly, there were so many people in the town going to the Lantern Festival that the two sisters were separated in an instant. Du Yinye tried to find her sister, but in the end she couldn't find her, so she gave up and decided to have fun and enjoy this hard-earned free time.

Like a newborn baby, she looked curiously at the brightly lit streets, the people coming and going, men and women, some holding hands, some with their families, some with children begging their mothers to buy them a lantern. She immediately fell in love with the beautifully painted orchid lantern.

She walked through the crowd and just as she touched the lantern, she saw another hand touching the lantern. She looked up and saw a pair of phoenix eyes, as if there were stars in the eyes, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Although the clothes on his body were old, they could well set off the man's tall stature.

He Tuyuan had originally come out to the Lantern Festival with his parents and sister. He finally saw a lantern that made him feel good. He just stretched out his hand when he saw another slender, tender white hand reaching out. He turned his head and the two of them looked at each other.

After looking at each other, He Tuyuan felt as if he had met a fairy!

At this time, the moonlight shone on the two people, as if there were only these two people between heaven and earth.

"Ahem, um, sirs, this lantern is not for sale. You need to answer the riddle correctly to win it!" The lantern vendor interrupted at an inopportune moment.

The two people came to their senses and retracted their hands at the same moment.

"Oh, this lantern is beautiful. I'll buy it!" The next second, a slightly fleshy hand touched the orchid lantern.

Du Yinye and He Tuyuan looked at the person who came at the same time, and saw that he was a young man who was a little fat.

"Sir, this orchid lantern is not for sale. You need to guess the riddles to get it!" The lantern vendor spoke at the right time.

More and more people gathered around, and the lantern vendor, who was very good at business, shouted the next second, "The orchid lantern competition has begun. Everyone, come and see whose lantern will end up in the end?"

Just like that, He Tuyuan and the fat man were inexplicably pushed onto the ring and the competition began.

"Please listen to the question. There is a thing that sometimes looks like a pancake, sometimes like a scimitar, sometimes like a comb, and sometimes like a ball. What is this thing?" The lantern vendor read out the question loudly.

"Huh?" Qin Guangzu, the fat guy, looked confused. "Are you deliberately trying to mess with us? How can there be such a thing?"

The lantern vendor shrugged. "Try it. It's really simple. You see it every day."

When He Tuyuan heard him say this, he began to think carefully.

Du Yinye stood behind He Tuyuan and poked him.
