Pei Ruoxuan and Mu Qinglan were walking slowly on the bustling streets of Kyoto.
They walked very close to each other. The man was handsome and the woman was bright and dignified. For a moment, everyone's eyes looked over from time to time.
Mu Qinglan felt the stares of people around him and frowned slightly.
Pei Ruoxuan noticed her discomfort, so he quietly took her hand and tried to comfort her.
"I heard that we can set off lanterns by the river tonight, why don't we go take a look?" Pei Ruoxuan suggested, looking down at the beauty next to him.
Mu Qinglan seemed to have not yet recovered from the fact that the other person was holding her hand, and nodded woodenly.
On the stalls, all kinds of lanterns come into view, including rabbit lanterns, fish-shaped lanterns, lotus lanterns, in different colors, which are dazzling.
Mu Qinglan picked up the rabbit lamp, turned around and asked, "Look, what do you think of this rabbit lamp?"
The light fell on her face, giving her a hazy beauty.
Pei Ruoxuan didn't look at the lanterns, but looked straight at her. "As long as you like it."
Seeing this, the lantern shop owner nearby casually said, "Sir, buy one for your wife?"
"I'm not..." Before Mu Qinglan could finish his words, Pei Ruoxuan took out a piece of silver and handed it to the boss.
After the purchase, the two walked towards the river.
"The boss said the wrong thing just now, please don't mind it." Mu Qinglan glanced at him quickly and lowered his head.
Pei Ruoxuan chuckled, showing that he was in a good mood at the moment.
Hearing this, Mu Qinglan let out a long sigh, and then felt a little lost in his heart.
But I don’t understand what I’m losing.
People were coming and going on the riverside, and in order to avoid getting lost, Pei Ruoxuan held her hand tightly.
On the sparkling river surface, there are more than a dozen lanterns floating on the water.
Each lamp carries people's wishes, floating on the lake, drifting away with the waves.
"Miss Mu, do you want to make a wish?" After saying that, he handed her a brush.
Mu Qinglan looked at the hand he extended to her and was slightly stunned.
His hand was large and strong, and it was this hand that held her hand as she walked through the crowd.
"Okay." It was a simple answer, as if he was afraid of revealing his thoughts.
After she took the brush, she wrote a few words on it.
Then she carefully placed the lantern in the water.
The river flows slowly, the lanterns float away with the water, and her thoughts can't help but drift away.
I still remember that before leaving the beggar’s house, there was a beggar who was unwilling to be caught and wanted to escape.
He was very close to Mu Qinglan at the time, and when she wasn't paying attention, he took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Mu Qinglan.
At that time, Pei Ruoxuan, who had been watching silently, noticed the other party's intention and rushed forward without caring about his own safety.
Mu Qinglan was so frightened that he couldn't move. He pushed her away and was stabbed by the beggar.
Fortunately, the wound was not very deep, and the other party was stopped when he wanted to stab a second time.
Her heart ached when she thought about how he was hurt because of her.
"Does your arm still hurt?" Mu Qinglan asked softly after coming back to his senses.
She didn't even dare to touch his arm for fear of hurting it.
Pei Ruoxuan looked at her red eyes and couldn't help but be attracted to her.
He gently wiped her tears and coaxed her softly: "It doesn't hurt, don't worry."
After being stabbed, he immediately sprinkled some wound medicine on the wound, and now the wound is slowly healing.
Pei Ruoxuan secretly felt lucky that he was the one who was injured at that time. He really couldn't bear to see her get hurt.
Perhaps because of this, she no longer avoids him like before.
He knew that he and her had a chance to meet after they parted last time.
But she seemed to be avoiding him intentionally, and he didn't want to force her, so he had to find an excuse to avoid her.
But today he didn't want to hide anymore, even though he was injured.
He felt it was all worth it.
If Pei Ruoxuan's friends were here, they would probably tease him.
It would be unexpected that such a cold and aloof person like him would one day fall in love with someone else.
The wish that Mu Qinglan wrote down just now was related to him.
I hope he lives a long and healthy life and everything goes well for him.
His rough fingers stroked her face, and she suddenly felt her face getting hot.
For a moment, an ambiguous atmosphere lingered between the two of them.
After separating from Pei Ruoxuan and the others, Mo Linyuan strolled along the street holding Mu Nanyan.
"Brother Yuan, I want to buy this." Mu Nanyan pointed at the sugar man in front of her.
She has only grown a few teeth now, so Wanfei usually pays special attention and does not let her eat too many sweets.
Now that I finally have the chance to eat it, of course I have to eat it.
The vendor took one look and said with a smile, "Miss, you have good taste. My candy figurines are very delicious and worth a try."
Mo Linyuan wanted to accommodate her, but paused when he thought of Concubine Wan’s disapproval.
"Your mother said to eat less sweets, Yan'er, look..."
Mu Nanyan blinked her big watery eyes and stared at him.
"Brother Yuan, I just want to eat a little. It's rare for me to come out today."
Being stared at by her aggrieved eyes, Mo Linyuan became a little restrained.
He sighed, unable to do anything about her. "Boss, take this."
The stall owner was so happy that he quickly handed over the candy man.
Mu Nanyan took it and took a bite. Hmm, it tasted pretty good.
The fruit-flavored candy has a refreshing taste that is unforgettable.
This boss is quite good at doing business.
The night was getting darker and darker, and they had been out of the palace for several hours.
Mo Linyuan said to her: "Yan'er, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace."
As soon as they returned to Jinxiu Palace, they met Wan Fei who had been waiting for them to come back.
When Wan Fei saw them, a light flashed in her eyes.
"Why did you come back so late? Are you not hurt?"
Seeing Wan Fei's worried look, Mu Nanyan hugged her. "Mother, we are fine. We are sorry to have worried you."
"I'm glad you're not hurt." As soon as she finished speaking, she moved her nose slightly and sniffed hard.
"What's that smell? It seems to be the smell of candy? Yan'er, have you eaten candy again?" Wan Fei frowned.
Oh no, my mother can smell this? Mu Nanyan was a little annoyed. She should have rinsed her mouth earlier.
In order to prevent Wan Fei from continuing to be angry, she said flatteringly: "Hey, mother, I only tasted a little bit, really, you have to believe me."
Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Mu Nanyan asked Mo Linyuan to testify for her, "Brother Yuan knows."
Wan Fei almost laughed out of anger. Not only did she eat it herself, but she also dragged others into it.
She tapped Mu Nanyan's forehead and said helplessly: "Mother is not forbidding you to eat, but you should try to eat less."
“Too much sugar is bad for you.”
Mu Nanyan acted coquettishly to her: "Mom, I'm not a child, I know all this, I just couldn't help it for a moment."
Who can blame the boss for making such beautiful and delicious sugar figures?
"I will definitely eat less next time. Forget it this time."
After all, she had already eaten, so there was no point in her regretting it.
"You, just know that your mother can't bear to scold you." Wan Fei snorted coldly.
