Chapter 18
Unlike during the day, Yongshu Township is decorated with lights and colors at this moment, and men and women mingle among the vendors, as if some festival celebration is being held.
"I didn't expect it to be so lively at night, with lantern shows, lantern riddles and treasure hunts! These people are really amazing, they can use spiritual weapons in so many ways." Jiang Wan exclaimed in amazement. As she walked along, she saw countless people using various spiritual weapons to make dazzling and gorgeous confessions of love.
It is simply a matter of making full use of the light at night and playing with it in a variety of ways.
"This is what Senior Brother Yousheng meant by a big scale..." Jiang Wan's tone was empty, and her eyes, which were originally bright when she left, dimmed and looked disappointed.
"It's just that no one is in a pair." Jiang Wan looked straight at the three people walking by, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
It's just some threesomes or foursomes, just some entanglements of her loving him, him loving her, but she doesn't love him but loves her.
If it's a little more complicated, it's just half-siblings, brothers and sisters who love each other wrongly, and the relationship is messier than a ball of wool.
She perfectly integrated into the crowd of onlookers around her and sorted out the entire relationship before leaving.
And it was obviously a fake love story, so why did these people give her such a weird feeling?
Jiang Wan couldn't explain it. This kind of real and fake thing couldn't possibly turn into reality while acting, right?
That's not right. Are demon cultivators so pure and kind?
After observing several couples in a row, I found that these people either confessed their feelings to each other in a competitive manner, or at more serious levels, they would just quarrel and then start crying madly. None of them actually fought, not even one of them used their mouths.
She didn't even need to let Lin Xubai cover her eyes.
Tsk, boring.
Listening to Jiang Wan's disdainful complaints, on the other side where she couldn't see, Lin Xubai raised the corners of his mouth.
He never pointed out the fact that the people he met along the way were not from the Demon Sect.
Want to see the big scene?
Oh, dream on, there is everything in dreams.
"These spiritual foods look pretty good." Jiang Wan was a little greedy.
The food street with its delicious food really tempted her.
"That's right. I heard that the spices used in these dishes are all sourced from the local flower fields. The spiritual foods here are unique outside of the area." Lin Xubai lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze landing on the small stall Jiang Wan was staring at. His peripheral vision swept across Jiang Wan's cold face, and he changed the subject, "But we sneaked out anyway, and I see that you, Junior Sister Jiang, are not in the mood. Why don't we just go home now?"
You've already come out, why are you going back like this?
Jiang Wan decisively refused.
It's impossible to go back.
Jiang Wan turned her gaze to Lin Xubai, who had sneaked out with her without any complaints. Seeing his smile, which was as elegant and gentle as before, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
It seems that it is not a good thing to always rely on Lin Xubai's good temper and only do your own things.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me junior sister? We are friends. Just call me Jiang Wan." Jiang Wan had talked about this with Lin Xubai since the second day they met, but Lin Xubai insisted. Jiang Wan had no choice but to go along with him.
But now, according to the friendship progress chart, calling her junior sister would be too distant, and it would sound like our relationship is not close enough.
"Are we still friends?" Jiang Wan glared at him, pretending to be angry. "You can use Xiao Jiang or Xiao Wan, but don't use the same words!"
Lin Xubai tried to refuse, but this time Jiang Wan took it to heart and forced Lin Xubai to change his address.
"Awan." Lin Xubai was helpless.
"Well, that's fine. Just call me that from now on. You can call me by my full name whenever you want. It depends on your mood!" Jiang Wan's mood turned from gloomy to bright.
"Let's go! Your best friend invites you to go shopping and see the lanterns!"
Jiang Wan bluntly considers herself Lin Xubai's best friend.
Because she is Lin Xubai's only friend.
"I don't know what story Qingqing and Tu Changxing made up, but we can discuss our character settings. By the way, character settings are..."
Jiang Wan talked to Lin Xubai enthusiastically, not only explaining to him what character setting was, but also sharing with him the script she had in mind.
Speaking of the script, Jiang Wan had a lot to say. She had debated with Rao Zhiyi for so long that she had forgotten about it. Now she had time to have a good discussion with Lin Xubai.
Whether it's a tragic love story or a deep affection, this environment can empathize with them all!
Although the young couples here are fake, the festive atmosphere of this couple's date is real.
Such a good opportunity, a rare experience, Jiang Wan took Lin Xubai to play one by one without saying a word.
She was responsible for paying for the lanterns, and Lin Xubai was responsible for solving the puzzles.
As we all know, good relationships need to be maintained.
Cater to their needs, starting from food, clothing, housing, transportation, and all aspects of their physical and mental care.
Jiang Wan reflected on it and realized that everything she had bought for Lin Xubai before was always given from her own perspective.
But he did not stand in Lin Xubai's perspective to analyze what he needed.
She had previously relied on the fact that she was Lin Xubai's only friend for many years, but now she reflected that she was getting too proud again.
With Lin Xubai's deliberate cooperation, Jiang Wan unknowingly spent all the spirit stones on her body without even knowing it.
Jiang Wan is out of money again, but she doesn't know it yet.
The folding fan in Lin Xubai's hand turned more lightly.
"call out--"
"Bang!"
By the river filled with colorful lanterns, grand fireworks roared up and then exploded at the highest point.
Crimson lotus flowers bloomed in the night sky, and the night wrapped in the fire of broken stars gradually fell, like a galaxy spreading its brilliance.
The flames in the sky turned into starlight, falling towards the earth and scattering on the two people who were placing river lanterns by the river.
"What beautiful flowers!" Jiang Wan exclaimed, "They are so pretty."
At that moment, she was squatting on the bluestone steps, her fingertips gently pushing the river lantern into the water. Attracted by the grand sound of fireworks, she looked up at the flowers blooming in the sky.
Jiang Wan was still wearing the same moon-white blue dress, with the same indifferent expression as before, and her whole body exuded the coolness of rinsing ice and washing snow, but the excitement in her eyes was extremely lively.
Lin Xubai, who was standing behind her, was wearing a scarlet dress and had a gentle smile on his face. His eyes were dark as he looked at the night sky, with no sadness or joy in them.
She has a thin figure but not weak, with a unique clean and elegant temperament, mixed with a bit of lazy curls.
It seems as if it is isolated from the hustle and bustle of this world, far away from the mundane noise, and a sense of indifference and coldness arises spontaneously.
"There are so many different shades of red! That one doesn't look like a twin lotus."
Thanks to the passionate atmosphere tonight, she found the lotus familiar, but she couldn't recognize the other flowers.
“It’s peony.”
Although Lin Xubai also looked up, his gaze involuntarily fell on Jiang Wan. The dazzling fireworks reflected in her eyes were particularly vivid.
On the winding river, butterfly-shaped spiritual lamps seemed to have come to life, flying vividly on the river surface and dancing above everyone's heads.
Unlike Jiang Wan, who was living a peaceful life as if she was enjoying a trip, Tu Changxing and Bai Qingqing encountered trouble.
You Sheng, Chu Yingluo and the other two successfully reunited with Tang Zheng from Sifangfang, Liu Huaifeng and Fang Xinxi from Qiyaomen.
