Chapter 472 You and Me
"Cangcang looks so good. It suits you better than I thought. You should wear more bright-colored clothes! They suit you better!" Sang Luo helped him adjust his collar, looked at him with bright eyes, and gave him a thumbs up with great satisfaction.
Lan Cang originally felt a little awkward, but was flattered by her so much that he almost couldn't help wagging his tail, but luckily he managed it.
He looked at himself in the mirror and thought he looked alright.
It turns out Luoluo likes this style.
If so, it would be better if he could be younger.
I rarely lament the ruthlessness of time, but at this moment I feel a little helpless and regretful.
But it's not too late now, he still has half of his life to stay with her.
The two arrived on the last day of the Lantern Festival, which was also the busiest day.
Watch the lanterns and set off fireworks.
Sang Luo hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.
In the moat not far ahead, many orcs placed river lanterns carrying wishes or blessings into the water, and let them flow away with the river.
Lan Cang took Sang Luo's hand and walked over.
The old orc selling river lanterns was surprised to see him coming, but when he saw Sang Luo beside him, he understood and asked with a smile, "The city lord has brought his wife to see the lanterns this year. I wonder what style of river lanterns his wife likes? I'll give them to you two."
"Thank you very much." Sang Luo picked two classic lotus river lanterns from the stall and gave one to Lan Cang.
The old beastman selling river lanterns said, "Legend has it that the river lanterns' destination is the sacred pond of the beast god. If you two have any wishes, you can write them on the river lanterns. If you are lucky enough to be seen by the beast god, your wish may come true. Even if your wish doesn't come true, it will be a beautiful sustenance and memory."
"Old man, do you have a pen?" Sang Luo asked.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The old orc brought out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"By the way, the wish can only be known to you. You can't let others see it, otherwise it won't work."
Sang Luo looked at Lan Cang with a smile, "Then let's write with our backs facing each other. When we release the river lanterns later, close your eyes and don't peek!"
Lan Cang also smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After writing their wishes, the two held their river lanterns in their hands, found a relatively quiet place, and placed the lanterns in the water.
After Sang Luo closed his eyes, he quietly opened one eye and glanced to the side.
Unfortunately, Lancang also released the lanterns back into the river, and in the thick fog of the night, nothing could be seen clearly.
The two lanterns drifted farther and farther away with the river, meeting and separating, parting and reuniting... Soon, they were lost among the thousands of lanterns and could no longer be found.
Countless lanterns meander along the river, and from a distance, they look like a bright and beautiful galaxy.
…
The days go by.
Sang Luo's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but there was no sign of giving birth.
"I had been pregnant with Xiao Zhenzhen for less than a year. I thought this baby would be born soon, but I didn't expect that it would be so long." Sang Luo lay on the bed, patted her belly, and sighed sadly.
"The higher the parents' cultivation, the higher the realm of their offspring will be when they are born. When I was pregnant with Zhenzhen, I was at the peak of the King Beast realm. Now I am at the Half-Step Venerable realm. The realm of this child after birth will only be higher, not lower. The time required for gestation is incomparable to that of little Zhenzhen back then." Si Ye has been very diligent in the past few years. He found all kinds of food to supplement her, and from time to time he would dig some money from his uncle to make up enough to raise the child.
Little Zhenzhen lay on her mother's round belly and wagged her tail curiously, "I wonder if the baby in my mother's belly is a brother or a sister."
Sang Luo smiled and patted its head, "Do you want a brother or a sister?"
Little Zhenzhen tilted her head and thought carefully, "I really want a little brother."
"Oh? You like your brother?"
"Hey, my little brother can serve me tea and water, so easy to use!"
Sang Luo laughed out loud.
Little Zhenzhen was a little distressed and tangled. "But I also want a sister. A sister who is cute and well-behaved and can play with me! Just like the little koi fish at Daddy Lou's house! I also want a sister as beautiful and cute as this!"
Si Ye's expression suddenly changed. "Say it again, who are you calling daddy?"
"Uncle Lou, my favorite mermaid uncle! He is so beautiful, hehe." Little Zhenzhen is crazy about him.
Si Ye's mouth twitched wildly, what a rebellious girl!
It really doesn't know the hardships its biological father went through when it was young! It didn't get a good sleep all day and all night! It just turned around and recognized a fish as its father!
Seeing that her father was angry, little Zhenzhen quickly threw herself into his arms and acted like a spoiled child, "But I still love my dear father the most! Father is the best to me and loves me the most!"
Si Ye snorted lightly, and his expression looked better. His silly girl finally understood something.
"Luoluo, there will be a banquet in the mansion in two days. I haven't decided on a name for the banquet yet, but remember to notify the children first and call them over, especially the two little mermaids!"
“…” This is going to be a competition.
On that day, Sang Luo called the children to the party. Si Ye took the opportunity to abduct the two little mermaids and became their little father.
Well! Not a loss, I even gained a cub!
This made Lou Xianyue very angry.
It was just that he was the one who came up with this dirty trick first, there was nothing he could do, he was in the wrong.
…
Xiao Shitou and Heng Tao from Suilin City had been together for several years, and their relationship was quite stable. The parents of both sides felt that the time was right, so they decided to arrange the marriage. When the children were older and ready to welcome their new family, they could choose an auspicious date for the wedding.
On the day of the engagement party, Lan Cang drank a lot of wine. He was very happy, but he could not hide the reluctance hidden in his heart.
Although Xiao Shitou went to Suilin City to work a few years ago and was not at home most of the time, he did not start a new family. Lan Cang still felt that his child was by his side.
The child he raised with his own hands and stayed by his side for so many years finally grew up one day and flew away from him completely. He felt empty in his heart, like a hole that was difficult to fill with anything else.
Xiao Shitou also told Lan Cang that he planned to move to Suilin City and settle there permanently in the future.
Lan Cang helped his son pack his luggage.
There are still a lot of small stone items at home, so I packed them up and moved them to my new home.
The day Xiao Shitou left.
Lan Cang was lost for a long time. He had given his son a lot of beast crystals. Leaving home to work hard required money and resources to gain a foothold. Everything he had done over the years was enough for his children to not have to endure the hardships he had faced in his youth, but there were also risks and difficulties. "Dad is always here. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, remember to come to me."
"Yeah! Thank you, Dad!"
He was still the calm and reliable father in the children's hearts, but at night, he shed tears.
It was the first time that Sang Luo saw him cry, or rather, the first time she saw him cry in front of her.
Lan Cang never showed his vulnerability in front of others, especially in front of her, but this time, she was the only one he could confide in.
"Luoluo, I...I can't bear to leave my children..."
It was clearly he who first suggested letting the child go, but he was also the one who was most reluctant to do so.
Sang Luo hugged his head and leaned him in her arms.
"You still have me. The children will leave one day, but I will always be by your side."
…
I'm so sad that these two chapters were written in a discontinuous manner.
