There were already bursts of exclamations from upstream. Fearing that she would be late, Xu Jiang didn't hesitate and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
"What's the big deal? Compared to the help you've given me and Xiao Ping, this is nothing."
The two walked hand in hand through the crowd and alleys and soon arrived at the street.
"That's the car." Xie Hongxing pulled Xu Jiang to the front of the car and said to the driver, "A Liao, please take Madam Xu and me to Shuiyun Lake quickly."
"Who?" The man leaned over and met Xu Jiang's eyes. "Is it you?"
Xu Jiang was also a little surprised, "Why is it you?"
The person Xie Hongxing called "A Liao" was none other than the "donkey thief" from Xiao Zhuxi, named Chi Liao.
The two stared at each other, and Xie Hongxing urged Xu Jiang, "Aren't you going to be late? Hurry up and get in the car."
"Oh, oh, okay." Xu Jiang climbed into the car first, and then pulled Xie Hongxing up.
Chi Liao looked back at her several times and asked, "Going to Shuiyuntan?"
"Um...excuse me." Xu Jiang thought of the time they celebrated the festival in Xiaozhuxi and felt a little awkward.
Chi Liao was also not very comfortable, but he did not make it difficult. He just whipped the horse and drove the carriage towards Shuiyuntan.
Xu Jiang lowered the carriage curtain and whispered to Xie Hongxing, "Why is he here? And why is he traveling with you?"
At the Zhuxi Elegant Gathering, this man had spoken rudely to Xie Hongxing and was even taught a lesson by Xu Jiang, but now he was riding in the same car with them. What a strange coincidence.
Xie Hongxing sighed, "It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I have the chance." Then she said to Xu Jiang, "Xiaoping wrote to me a few days ago saying she went to Gusu."
Gusu? Xu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "But should we go find Master Mu?"
Xie Hongxing nodded.
Xu Jiang guessed that Jiang Gu went to find Mu Cong to apologize. After all, if it weren't for helping him, Mu Cong would not have ended up in such a situation.
Thinking of the two of them, Xu Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
Xie Hongxing said quietly, "I don't know if I'll ever meet him again in this life."
Xu Jiang patted her hand and comforted her, "I believe he will come back one day, because there are people in this capital who he cares about."
Xie Hongxing smiled, feeling much relieved, and then asked, "Who are you going to see at Shuiyuntan?"
Xu Jiang whispered a name in her ear.
Xie Hongxing was surprised at first, then she covered her mouth and laughed, "No wonder you ran so fast."
Xu Jiang was embarrassed by her laughter and patted her gently.
Xie Hongxing said sincerely, "Congratulations." She had already heard the news of their engagement.
Xu Jiang held her hand and said, "Thank you."
The two of them whispered a few more words, and soon, Chi Liao's voice was heard from outside.
"We've arrived at Shuiyuntan."
Xu Jiang quickly raised the carriage curtains and saw that they had indeed arrived at Shuiyun Pond. She said to Chi Liao, "Just park by the street. I'll walk over there myself."
Chi Liao parked the car on the side of the street as instructed.
Xu Jiang asked Xie Hongxing, "Do you want to go down and take a look?"
Xie Hongxing shook her head. "No, let's go to the gate. We'll go to Qujiang Pond later to attend the banquet and perform."
Xu Jiang sighed inwardly, bowed to her, and then said to Chi Liao, "Thank you."
Chi Liao replied dryly, "You're welcome," and drove away with Xie Hongxing.
Xu Jiang waved to Xie Hongxing, then ran to the edge of the pond.
Zhaoyue must be waiting impatiently.
But when she arrived at the willow tree by the pond, she did not see Lou Yunchun.
She breathed a sigh of relief, as the person hadn't arrived yet and she didn't keep him waiting.
But after blowing the water breeze in her sleeves, she couldn't help but feel anxious. The water god is coming soon, but where is he?
She searched everywhere but did not see Lou Yunchun.
Seeing that more and more people were coming to the pond, Xu Jiang did not dare to leave, fearing that Lou Yunchun would not be able to find her when he came, so she had to wait there.
Cheers erupted from upstream, followed by a sharp roar.
Immediately afterwards, fireworks shot up into the night sky, exploding into gorgeous flowers.
"It's fireworks! There are fireworks this year!"
"So beautiful! Come on, make room for me!"
Xu Jiang was also stunned, but then she became more anxious.
Where did this stinky cat go? If I don’t come now, I will not only miss the Welcoming Water God, but also miss the rare fireworks.
He was so anxious that he didn't even have the heart to watch the fireworks. He was only focused on finding someone.
But where is she?
A golden and majestic dragon swam out from the clouds, water and flames, and wherever it passed, there were bursts of cheers.
Xu Jiang couldn't find him, and her eyes turned red with panic. Could he have gotten stuck somewhere? Or was he in trouble?
Is he not coming? Or is he unable to come?
The giant dragon was approaching, Xu Jiang stared at it blankly, his heart feeling empty.
He broke his promise.
The giant dragon came before them, bright and majestic, but the light in Xu Jiang's eyes gradually dimmed.
Suddenly, a white rainbow emerged from the small boat accompanying the giant dragon, and then huge fireworks exploded one after another above their heads.
The screams beside him were deafening. Xu Jiang came back to his senses and looked up, only to see a magnificent scene.
So beautiful.
But it is really lonely when it withers.
While everyone was looking up, the dragon's head came ashore.
"Ajahn."
It was clearly a very light sound, but it struck Xu Jiang's heart hard.
She looked over suddenly and was startled by the dragon head in front of her, but what shocked her even more was the person standing next to the dragon head.
The man was wearing a thick water god mask that covered his entire head, but Xu Jiang still recognized him immediately. It was the person she was waiting for.
"You..." Her vision blurred and she was too excited to call out his name.
He jumped ashore from the dragon boat and came to her in two steps.
