Chapter 211 "Why, don't you like it?"...

Yu Chang paused when he heard that, and his snow-white fingertips looked even more lustrous and shiny against the backdrop of the red cloth bag.

"nothing."

Yu Chang was silent for a moment and answered hurriedly, then he turned it with his fingertips and put it into his sleeve.

Wen Yu and Song Linsheng looked at each other, both puzzled.

Then there was no conversation along the way.

The closer they got to the Houtu Temple, the more crowded the road became, until the carriage could no longer move forward, and Xiyan asked a few people to get off.

The moon hangs in the middle of the sky, as if it were daytime.

Wen Yu got out of the car with Song Linsheng's hand and glanced at the street. It was bustling and bustling with endless prosperity.

Looking far away, there are lights on in thousands of houses, and the whole city is bustling with noise.

Ever since she came to Jiangyang Prefecture, she seemed to have never gone out for a walk at night. Now that she had suddenly seen the temple fair, she was really surprised by everything she saw.

Wen Yu grabbed Song Linsheng with her backhand, and hurriedly walked into the crowd, like a stream returning to the sea, dissolving into one place.

Yu Chang, who was half a step behind, was about to give chase when Xi Yan, who was tying up the carriage behind him, called out urgently, "Miss Yingying, wait for me!"

Yu Chang's body stiffened and he couldn't help but close his eyes, but he finally stopped.

There are many stalls on both sides of the street, one next to the other, selling all kinds of food and toys.

There are so many things to see and so many to count.

Wen Yu let go of Song Linsheng and trotted a few steps, looking left and right.

Plum blossom sugar cakes, crab stuffed with orange, and candied haws cakes are all her favorites.

I came here with Song Linsheng just after finishing work, and I haven't gone back home for dinner. Now that I see these candies and cakes, I feel a little hungry.

Wen Yu put one hand on her belly and couldn't help but pat it.

What should I buy?

"Boss, pack them all up." Song Linsheng put down a silver ingot and said to the vendor, "I want all of these."

Wen Yu turned around when she heard that. Song Linsheng was standing beside her shoulder. She could just see his straight chest.

"You bought so much, I'm afraid you can't finish it all, right?"

She likes it, but she doesn't want to eat herself to death.

"It's okay, Xiaoyu, try them all." Song Linsheng took the wrapped cakes from the vendor and tilted his head to look at Wenyu from beside the stacked gift boxes. "Would you like to bring some back for Ah Zhu and the others?"

"Hmm..." Wen Yu puffed out her cheeks and thought for a moment, "That's fine."

I don’t know if Azhu and Abai went out today, I’ll bring some for them as well.

Song Linsheng smiled deeply and nodded frequently, then handed the candied haws to Wen Yu, "Xiaoyu, here."

Wen Yu reached out to take it, but was not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, he played with it in the light of the lanterns in front of the stall.

The pale yellow sugar coating wrapped around the deep red hawthorn seeds, and the shiny color flowed back and forth as Wen Yu's fingertips turned, like a ruby ​​trapped in amber.

Wen Yu took a bite and her cheeks puffed up immediately. She took away the candied haws with one hand, and Song Linsheng's smiling face immediately appeared in front of her.

The sweetness of the candied haws melted on her tongue and immediately spread throughout her mouth, leaving her lips and teeth fragrant.

At the same time, the candlelight and moonlight shone on Song Linsheng's face, making his cheeks glow and look red, as if they were sweeter than the candied haws.

"Song Linsheng." Wen Yu handed the candied haws over without hesitation. "Would you like to try some too?"

Song Linsheng's eyes swept across the strings of candied haws in his hand, and then turned to Wen Yu's hand.

Wenyu's fingertips are slender and white, like pearls and jade.

The hawthorns are red like colorful gems and each one is round.

There seems to be an indescribable attraction between the two colors.

I guess the candied haws in Xiaoyu's hand is indeed sweeter than his.

Song Linsheng pursed his lips and chuckled, without refusing, he bent down and took a bite of Wen Yu's hand.

There is no need to chew it, as soon as it enters your mouth, it is sweet and touching, and goes straight into your heart.

"How is it? Very sweet, right?" Wen Yu asked casually while chewing the candied haws.

She looks so cute with her puffy cheeks.

"Yeah!" Song Linsheng nodded affirmatively, not sure if he was referring to candied haws or something else. "It's very sweet."

Wen Yu had dimples and a deep smile as she stood opposite Song Linsheng. In the bustling street, it seemed as if they were the only two people in the world.

A few steps away, Yu Chang, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped when he saw this situation. His eyes were deep and calm, and his whole body was indescribably quiet.

"Miss Xingxing, wait for me." Xiyan came up from somewhere and hurried to Yu Chang's side, "Here—"

Something suddenly appeared in front of Yu Chang. He frowned and looked down.

But it was a string of candied haws.

The scene he had just seen kept scrolling before his eyes. Yu Chang's eyes fell on the candied haws and he was reluctant to say anything.

"What? Don't you like it?" Xiyan looked at Yu Chang blankly, then at the candied haws in his hand.

He clearly saw that when the young master was buying things for Madam Wen, Miss Xingxing was staring at them intently.

Therefore, he thought she liked it very much.

"I don't like it." Yu Chang said lightly without even raising his eyelids.

But for some reason, after he had spoken, he inexplicably took the candied haws from Xiyan's hand.

"Huh?"

Just as he was washing the inkstone, his hands suddenly felt empty, and he was a little surprised.

But when he looked up, Yu Chang had already stepped forward, leaving only a thin and tall figure to him.

"Miss Yingying, wait for me!"

Xiyan shouted hurriedly and followed quickly.

When Xiyan caught up with Yu Chang, they had already reached the bank of the Yuanshui River, and across the water from them were Wen Yu and Song Linsheng.

The stars and the moon are in the same sky, the lights are all over the ground, and they are intertwined with the lanterns on both sides of the river and jump into the golden water.

Wen Yu was half-crouching on the riverbank with her hands on the hem of her skirt, while Song Linsheng was standing by her side with two carp lanterns in his hands. The cakes and pastries they had just bought at the market were piled up like a mountain beside them.

There are many tourists on both sides of the strait, and they are having more fun. With the constant sound of firecrackers, the vast sky is full of fireworks and dazzling lights.

Wen Yu looked up at the fireworks blooming, while stretching out her hand to glide through the waves, and then looked at the flowing light in the sky and the moonlight on the water.

Song Linsheng stood beside Wen Yu, occasionally raising his sleeves to shield her from the debris that fell after the fireworks burned out.

At the same time, Yu Chang stood silently at the other end, clenching the candied haws in his hand without saying a word.

"Miss Xingxing." Xiyan followed Yu Chang's gaze and looked across the river. "What are you looking at?"

No matter how dull he was, it was not difficult to see the sadness and confusion in Miss Xingxing's eyes.

And where his gaze fell were none other than his young master and his wife, Madam Wen.

"Nothing." Yu Chang looked up at the fireworks in the sky and answered lightly.

Xiyan said nothing more, but just looked up following Yu Chang's gaze.

The stars are shining and the fireworks are flashing.

Miss Yingying...could it be that you are attracted to the young master of that family?

But the young master's heart is completely filled with Miss Wen, I'm afraid Miss Yingying will be disappointed...

Yu Chang closed his eyes, only to feel a black screen before his eyes. He couldn't help but ask aloud.

"what's on your mind?"

"Ah? Nothing, nothing."

Xiyan looked away and answered hurriedly.

"I mean, why don't we buy some lanterns and put them up?"

After saying this, he washed the inkstone and ran away, leaving Yu Chang standing there alone.

He turned his head and saw Wen Yu lighting the wick of the carp lantern.

"Huh." Wen Yu blew out the tinderbox in his hand and handed it to Song Linsheng beside him, "Alright!"

Song Linsheng took it and put it away, then watched Wen Yu hold the carp lantern between his hands.

The flickering yellow candlelight illuminated Wen Yu's eyelashes even more clearly, and her dark eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

Song Linsheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

"This is the temple of Hou Tu Niangniang. Xiaoyu, why don't you make a wish to her?"

"Hmm..." Wen Yu pondered, feeling a little unsure for a moment. "The Houtu Temple has been abandoned for a long time. Can a wish come true now?"

It wasn't that she was making random guesses, but the effectiveness of a deity's temple was closely related to the deity's own magical powers. With the Hou Tu Temple in such decline, who knew what Hou Tu Niang Niang was like...

Song Linsheng lit another carp lantern and held it up with both hands, very pious.

"Sincerity is the key to success." Song Linsheng smiled.

Praying to gods and Buddhas is just trying your best.

If you want everything to go as you wish, the gods and Buddhas would be too busy to handle it.

"Hmm! That makes sense." Wen Yu thought for a moment, then closed her eyes and said, "Then I hope Song Lin will be healthy, promoted, and rich!"

After saying this, Wen Yu put the small fish lantern into the water and let it drift away with the waves.

When Song Linsheng saw this, he immediately closed his eyes and silently made a wish. Then, like Wen Yu, he let go of his hand and let the fish lantern carrying the wish float down the water.

"Who would pray for others instead of themselves?" Song Linsheng withdrew his hand and joked with Wen Yu with a smile in his eyes.

"What do you mean by mine or someone else's?" Wen Yu snorted indifferently, "As long as it's a wish I made, it's mine. Besides... who are you to me?"

Wen Yu sat on the shore with her knees hugged, reaching out to poke Song Linsheng's arm.

"Okay, okay." Song Linsheng let Wen Yu make a fuss without dodging or dodging. "Then I should thank Xiaoyu."

"That's not necessary!" Wen Yu shook his head seriously, and then said mysteriously, "You just need to tell me, what wish did you make?"

Wen Yu couldn't guarantee whether Hou Tu Niangniang could fulfill his wish now.

But if she could do it, she would definitely help Song Linsheng get what he wanted.

"desire……"

Song Linsheng looked at the lanterns that filled the river, swaying and drifting with the current, not knowing where they would end up.

"Of course, wishes cannot be spoken out loud. If you do, they won't come true."

"What?" Wen Yu stood up immediately, very surprised. "What's not working?"

But she just said that she wanted Song Lin to be healthy, get promoted and make a fortune!

"Then why didn't you stop me?" Wen Yu grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands and stamped her feet fiercely, "I don't believe it!"

But as she said this, her hand slid across the water, "That won't work. I have to retrieve it and put a new one in."

Regardless of whether what Song Linsheng said was true or just nonsense, she had to believe it.

She would never dare to make fun of Song Linsheng.

Neither dare nor want to.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu."

Seeing that half of her body was lying on the shore and she was almost falling into the water, Song Linsheng hurriedly called out.

"Xiaoyu, be careful!"

In a hurry, Song Linsheng's hand passed in front of Wen Yu, grabbed Wen Yu's body and pulled her back.

Song Linsheng was quite strong, and Wen Yu was completely unprepared, so for a moment he actually held her back several steps. The two of them fell into a heap, their sleeves and skirts tangled together, making it almost impossible to tell them apart.

The breaths are intertwined and the breathing is disordered.

Song Linsheng's eyes tightened, and he felt uneasy. "Xiaoyu, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
