78 Won’t you give me the flowers?
I asked several passers-by along the way before I found the location of Xiangqiao.
The bridge was very lively at this moment. Colorful lights were hung along the bridge, and the glazed tiles on top were shining brightly.
There were crowds of people at both ends of the bridge, all with happy or shy looks on their faces.
Xiao Tingyun was wearing a rabbit mask and holding a lotus in his hand.
Stepping onto the Xiang Bridge, the colorful lanterns swayed in the wind, the water was gurgling under the bridge, and the river lanterns were swaying along the water.
Xiao Tingyun stuck his head out and stood on tiptoe to look at the river lanterns below. There might be some playful people upstream who wanted to imitate the ancient books' description of "falling flowers, flowing water, small bridges and people's homes!"
The river lanterns float down the river, accompanied by flower petals, and the boatmen carry their guests to recite poems and paint.
It’s a unique feeling.
"Miss, it's so lively here!" Cai Xing was dazzled and felt that everything was beautiful and interesting!
"Well, I guess all the young men and women in Kyoto are called out for the Chinese Valentine's Day." Xiao Tingyun said as he carefully picked an unopened lotus petal so that it could also learn to be fashionable.
Follow those river lanterns and flow away.
Xiao Tingyun saw the petals gradually disappear, and was satisfied, "Let's go and see if this fragrant bridge can live up to its name."
Walking forward with big strides, many pedestrians gave each other flowers on the Xiang Bridge and happily tied the flowers together.
Xiao Tingyun slowed down her pace and looked at everyone carefully. Some of them were wearing masks like her.
Xiao Tingyun frowned, pursed his lips, and felt a sense of melancholy.
This fragrant bridge is not long. Even if Xiao Tingyun slows down his pace, he will eventually reach the end and step down the last step.
The colorful and lively scene gradually fell behind her and had nothing to do with her anymore.
Xiao Tingyun sighed and said with his back to Caixing, "Caixing, do you think I am being too wishful? How could he have walked onto this bridge by such a coincidence?"
Cai Xing did not answer, so Xiao Tingyun said, "Forget it, let's take this lotus back and raise it so that it can bloom its final glory."
After talking for a long time, Xiao Tingyun still didn't hear Caixing's answer. Xiao Tingyun realized that something was wrong.
Suddenly looking back
Xiao Tingyun was stunned. The person standing behind him was not Cai Xing, but a man wearing a tiger mask.
Although he didn't see his appearance clearly, Xiao Tingyun recognized him at a glance.
Pei Yuning...
Looking behind him, not far away, Cai Xing was looking at Li Ming with a look of disgust.
Cai Xing felt really aggrieved. Seeing the look in Master Pei's eyes, she immediately lost all desire to resist. It was too scary!
Li Ming was even more excited and grabbed herself directly. Cai Xing watched Pei Yuning follow Xiao Tingyun.
Pei Yuning's eyes were deep, and in his dark pupils was a shocked Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Tingyun was speechless for a long time and stared blankly at the person who came.
He opened his mouth again and again, "You..."
Suddenly her eyes felt a little sore, she bit her lip, and the lotus in her hand was unconsciously squeezed tighter.
Pei Yuning lowered his eyes and saw her hands which were slightly red from being squeezed, so he reached out and touched her tentatively.
Seeing that she didn't reject it, he held it tightly.
Xiao Tingyun took a deep breath, suddenly held his hand, and smiled brightly at Pei Yuning's slightly surprised look.
"Let's go!" Xiao Tingyun said loudly and happily.
Without waiting for anyone to reply, she pulled him up by his skirt and ran forward.
Pei Yuning curled his lips, raised his feet and followed her steps.
After running for a distance, they reached a street intersection. Xiao Tingyun really had no strength left as her body was too weak.
Pei Yuning and the others took control as soon as they calmed down and led the person directly into a remote and dim alley.
Xiao Tingyun was not afraid but trusted him wholeheartedly.
It was not until the noisy sound disappeared around the corner that Xiao Tingyun burst into laughter.
Pei Yuning held her waist loosely so that she could use the force for a moment.
After finally laughing heartily, Xiao Tingyun took a breath and stared at his mask curiously, "Why did you choose a tiger mask? It doesn't suit you at all!"
Pei Yuning didn't comment, looked at the rabbit mask on her face, and said softly, "Your rabbit doesn't fit either."
Xiao Tingyun raised his hand and touched it. The hard touch on his face was a bit uncomfortable, and the rabbit ears on his face looked particularly funny.
Seeing her discomfort, Pei Yuning reached out to help her take it off, revealing a beautiful face with a bright smile.
Pei Yuning was slightly absent-minded, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Without any restraints, Xiao Tingyun felt that the sky was much brighter.
The tiger was so adorable that it was hard to imagine how he got the mask on his face. I reached out and touched his face, and the mask gave off a slight coolness.
But the weather was warm, and the lively sounds of unmarried men and women outside stimulated everyone's senses.
Xiao Tingyun tried to help him untie it, and Pei Yuning did not refuse.
Xiao Tingyun stood on tiptoe slightly, reaching the height of his lips, and passed his hair, which was cool and a little hard but very smooth, and untied the rope at the back.
The warm breath hit her cheek, and Xiao Tingyun's face suddenly turned red.
Pei Yuning lowered her eyebrows, and could clearly see the fine hairs on her profile, her fair skin was stained pink like rouge.
It's like the warm breeze in the early morning, intoxicating and addictive.
Xiao Tingyun's tiptoeing was not high enough, and his whole body seemed to be hugging him.
The small figure embedded in the tall body seems to be a perfect match made in heaven.
Xiao Tingyun showed a hint of embarrassment and anxiety. Why was this knot so difficult to untie today? Didn't he think she threw herself into his arms on purpose? !
She really didn't this time! She swore!
Pei Yuning lowered his head, and to make it easier for her to reach him, he put his big hands around her waist and lifted her up slightly.
The distance was closer, and Xiao Tingyun seemed to be able to hear the "thumping" of his own heartbeat.
She could kiss him just by turning her head a little. The hot hands on her waist pressed against her clothes. Xiao Tingyun quickened his movements to help him untie the mask.
Pei Yuning returned to his original form, still handsome and elegant, yet with a bit of oppressive nobility.
Xiao Tingyun took a step back, but the hand around his waist brought him back into his arms.
Xiao Tingyun was startled, and the flowers in his hand were pressed between the two of them.
"Is this your flower?" Pei Yuning asked with lowered eyebrows.
Xiao Tingyun turned his face away and nodded slightly.
"You won't give it to me?"
Xiao Tingyun looked towards him suddenly; the two were only two palms apart.
Xiao Tingyun turned his face away again as he thought of something, muttering softly, "Don't you understand the principle of reciprocity?"
Pei Yuning naturally heard the little girl's cute speech.
Pei Yuning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his chest rumbling, and he asked in a low voice, "How do you know I don't have any dealings with you when you haven't even shown your courtesy?"
Xiao Tingyun's eyes lit up, brighter than the most beautiful lantern Pei Yuning had seen tonight.
Xiao Tingyun wanted to send him off directly, but recalling what happened in the evening, she patted his arm and signaled him to let her go.
Pei Yuning finally took back the hand that was restraining her, and gently rubbed it behind her back.
Xiao Tingyun thought for a moment and cleared his throat and said,
"On the bank of that lake there are cattails and lotus.
There is a beautiful person, how can I be hurt?
I was at a loss whether awake or asleep, and my tears were streaming down my face.
There are cattails and reeds on the bank of the lake.
There was a beautiful man, with huge and curly hair.
I am idle whether I am awake or asleep, and my heart is filled with resentment.
There are cattails and lotus on the bank of the lake.
There was a handsome man, huge and dignified.
I was unable to do anything, waking or sleeping, tossing and turning on the pillow. ”
After reciting the poem, Xiao Tingyun bowed again and said in a crisp voice, "I hope this gentleman can accept this flower!"
