Chapter 44 I only wish that everything goes well for me

Gu Ci picked out a rabbit-shaped lantern.

The chubby rabbit was wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress. She looked cute and had big eyes, which were a bit like Nianxi's. She was very cute, and Gu Ci thought she would definitely like it.

When I went out, I couldn't find anyone.

Qin Lang and Wen Qingheng were watching the show not far away. Gu Ci walked over and asked, "Have you seen Nian'er?"

Wen Qingheng was just playing tricks and was unaware of it. Qin Lang, on the other hand, was paying close attention. He watched Pei Jian pull his sister to the alley behind him.

He did not dare to speak loudly and waited in fear.

I kept comforting myself silently in my heart. Although Pei Jian had no bottom line, he was a student of sages' books after all, so he was not a beast.

But no matter how long I waited, no one came out.

He was anxious, fearing that Pei Jian would not take the matter seriously after being rejected and that his sister would get hurt.

The heart is filled with pain and condemnation.

What a sin.

In fact, he had already prepared to look for it before Gu Ci came.

When asked this time, Qin Lang pointed to the dark alley without hesitation, "I vaguely saw my sister going in that direction..."

Gu Ci looked at him deeply, said nothing, turned and left.

Wen Qingheng scolded him, "You saw my sister walking into a dark alley alone and didn't stop her. What the hell are you thinking?"

After this night, Qin Lang was already exhausted. He glanced at Wen Qingheng and said weakly, "You are a brother."

Wen Qingheng ignored him and walked forward quickly. But before he had taken two steps, Nianxi had already hurried over.

Seeing Gu Ci's anxious face, she calmed down and took two steps forward, "Are you waiting impatiently? I just saw something interesting and was distracted for a moment, so I was delayed for a while."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and rubbed it, saying dejectedly, "Just now I accidentally broke Gu Xiaoliu's arm. Don't be angry with me."

Gu Ci raised his hand and touched her head with warm comfort. Although his usual smile was gone, he was still gentle to Nianxi, "Nian'er, I will never be angry with you."

He didn't ask any more questions. He took the Mohelo from Nianxi's hand, took it in his hand, looked at it, and whispered to comfort her, "It's okay."

After that, Gu Ci held Nianxi's hand tightly all the way and never left her side.

The two went to the river to buy lotus lanterns.

This is also a custom of the Qiqiao Festival.

Put a cup lamp in the base of the lotus lamp, place it in the water, follow the water along the river, and light the lamp to pray for blessings.

Nian Xi prayed silently in her heart, wishing for peace for her family.

When she turned around, she saw Gu Ci still gazing at the floating lotus lanterns. She couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What wish did you make? Why did you silently recite it for so long?"

She looked up at him, a faint smile on her lips, "Don't be too greedy."

Gu Ci did not argue with her. He lowered his head, his handsome face full of smiles and his eyes like the autumn moon, full of pious tenderness.

He said slowly, "I just hope that everything goes as I wish."

The moonlight is hazy, and something is rising from the depths of my heart, gradually seeping into the intoxicating warm breeze of Chinese Valentine's Day, leaving an indelible mark.

As the sky gradually darkened, the West Market was still bustling. There was no curfew tonight, and many young men and women were walking together on the street.

Gu Ci prepared to send Nianxi home.

Before leaving, he said to Qin Lang, "Didn't we want to drink just now? It's such a festive occasion, let's have a good drink after I send Nian'er back."

"Remember to ask Shi Zhang to come along."

Qin Lang's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

A bad feeling came over me.

"……good."

Wen Qingheng just remembered Pei Jian at this moment, "By the way, where is Shi Zhang? Why haven't I seen him for a long time? He has been acting strangely tonight? Is he frustrated in love?"

Qin Lang asked, "Did you see it?"

"I'm not stupid. He has a cold face. Who can't see that?" Wen Qingheng was speechless. "I don't know who this girl with earrings is. She's called Shi Zhang, a good young man, but she's moody all day long."

Qin Lang closed his eyes. "It's not easy for you to pass the imperial examination."

…

Pei Jian walked out of the dark alley alone.

He heard Nianxi's excuse and knew that Gu Ci did not believe it.

Because Gu Ci gently stroked Nianxi's shoulder and spoke softly, while a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark.

Pei Jian looked back expressionlessly.

He saw Gu Ci holding Nianxi's hand, saw the same purse hanging around their waists, and saw her snuggling against him without looking back once.

Pei Jian wanted to laugh, but when he moved his mouth, he found that he couldn't laugh at all.

There was a deep wound on the index finger.

At that time he leaned forward and lowered his head, but she avoided his kiss and turned her head away. He had completely lost his mind, and only plunder was left in his mind.

He kissed her neck.

They had had many happy times together, and they had an indelible familiarity with each other's scent.

He knew that her neck was fragile and sensitive.

So she bit his finger tightly.

She must have been terribly angry at the time.

Pei Jian lowered his head and rubbed his index finger. The blood stain had dried up, leaving a thin mark, like a red line wrapped around the fingertip.

He knew that she was upset by him again.
