On the eve of New Year's Day, the school held a New Year's Eve party.
However, because it was too cold, Gu Fan didn't go to see it. Instead, he stayed in his dormitory and video-chatted with Jiang Yumeng.
As for Liu Qian, he naturally accompanied his girlfriend to see it.
Some couples generally wouldn't miss out on such large-scale events.
Tomorrow is the start of the holiday, and Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng are discussing where to go for the break.
"I have a three-day holiday, and I might have to work at the flower shop one of them."
Gu Fan explained that during holidays, there are many more people buying flowers, so flower shops experience a peak season, and he needs to purchase a batch of flowers.
"Hmm, it seems like I can't do anything much during those two days off." Jiang Yumeng tilted her head.
Gu Fan said, "There will be a lantern festival in Guangcheng Yao Town from tomorrow night to the night after tomorrow. If you want to go, I can go with you."
Jiang Yumeng's eyes lit up: "A lantern festival? Is it like those streets lined with lanterns in TV dramas?"
Gu Fan chuckled and said, "Not exactly, there is a difference. The lantern festival is not held on the streets, but by the river. It is a local custom. People hold it during major festivals such as the Spring Festival, New Year's Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival. Over time, it has become a local feature and has attracted a lot of attention."
"Then let's go take a look."
The two chatted until 11:30, when the lights in the girls' dormitory were turned off.
After saying goodnight to each other, we hung up the phone.
The holiday began the next day.
Most people had already boarded the high-speed train home the day before the holiday, leaving the campus deserted.
Okay, it's just that our bright college students haven't gotten up yet.
Gu Fan arrived at the flower shop early, opened the door, and started business.
There are relatively few people in the morning, but on holidays, there are many orders in the afternoon.
The flower shop has registered on Meitun, and people can place orders through the app, which will then be delivered by a delivery driver.
At nine o'clock, Sister Tang also appeared at the flower shop. Her face looked a little swollen, obviously because she hadn't slept well last night.
"Sister Tang? Aren't you going on a date?" Gu Fan asked in surprise.
Sister Tang waved her hand: "Don't mention it, we had another fight last night."
Gu Fan was stunned and didn't react.
Sister Tang casually picked up a bottle of water and drank it: "You men are really awful."
Gu Fan smiled wryly.
As far as he knew, Sister Tang and her boyfriend often argued, mostly because the guy was too straightforward and always made the girl angry.
However, within a few days, the two made up again, and over time, they got used to it.
It might not be that the guy is a straight man, but rather that he knows the answer but just doesn't want to do it.
For example, when trying to appease a girl, even though it's obvious she's angry, the guy knows it perfectly well but doesn't want to, leading to a cold war. This is a typical example of a "straight man" type of guy.
Since Sister Tang was there, Gu Fan decided to take the opportunity to go wholesale.
As noon approached, orders gradually increased.
Gu Fan was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon before he could take a short break.
After get off work, he checked his phone and sent a message to Jiang Yumeng, asking if she was ready to leave.
After receiving a positive reply, Gu Fan closed the shop door and went to the agreed location to meet Jiang Yumeng.
They traveled together to Guangcheng Yao Town. The driver was also from Guangcheng, so they chatted and laughed together.
When we arrived at the riverbank, it was already getting dark. The lantern festival site was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Lanterns of various shapes and colors hang along the riverbank, creating a beautiful scene.
Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng strolled hand in hand through the lantern festival, enjoying the festive atmosphere.
They admired the lanterns while enjoying local delicacies.
At that moment, a huge dragon-shaped lantern on the river caught their attention. The dragon lantern was so lifelike that it seemed to be soaring through the air.
"So beautiful!" Jiang Yumeng exclaimed.
"It's truly spectacular." Gu Fan took out his phone and captured this beautiful moment.
"Senior, let me take your picture. Hurry up and stand there." Jiang Yumeng waved her hand and directed.
Gu Fan looked resistant: "No need, I don't need to film."
"Want to take a picture with me?"
"good."
Jiang Yumeng rolled her eyes at her arrogant boyfriend, but she also happily moved closer to Gu Fan and snuggled into his arms.
Gu Fan then put his arm around her waist.
Against the backdrop of the dragon lantern, the two took several photos together.
They continued walking and came to an ancient bridge.
The river flows beneath the bridge, reflecting colorful lanterns on its surface, creating a dreamlike scene.
"Look, there's a beautiful woman!"
Jiang Yumeng suddenly exclaimed and pointed ahead.
Gu Fan looked at her calmly.
A look of boredom crossed Jiang Yumeng's face: "Really, senior didn't fall for it."
Gu Fan smiled calmly.
If he actually saw it, his kidneys would definitely swell up.
The junior girl pinched him.
Gu Fan gently patted Jiang Yumeng's head and asked with a smile, "Can you swim?"
"Huh?" Jiang Yumeng's eyes widened as she looked at him in surprise. "No way, no way, senior isn't going to push someone as cute as me off the cliff, is he?"
Gu Fan said with a serious face, "Of course not, am I that kind of person?"
As he spoke, his hand was already on the girl's back.
It seemed that with just a little effort, it could be pushed into the river.
Jiang Yumeng quickly grabbed his arm and said with a grin, "Senior, you're so annoying! How dare you scare me! If you dare to scare me today, you'll dare to scare me tomorrow... um!"
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Fan silenced her with a kiss.
Jiang Yumeng struggled symbolically for a moment, then gave up resisting.
Well, it's not that she didn't struggle; she did struggle, but men and women have different physical abilities, and he gripped her too tightly.
Thinking this way, Jiang Yumeng succumbed to Gu Fan's advances.
Passersby who saw the couple kissing all gave them knowing smiles.
It's so good to be young!
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"Wow! That dragon is so beautiful!" A pretty girl exclaimed, pointing to the dragon lantern in the distance.
Beside her stood a boy with a cold expression.
The boy looked at the dragon lanterns on the river, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "Jiang Liuer, you made me travel all this way just to watch this stuff with you?"
Upon hearing this, the girl called Jiang Liuer rolled her eyes at him: "What's wrong? Jiang Che, you're my brother, isn't it only natural for you to accompany me shopping?"
Jiang Che sneered: "So you know I'm your brother, not your boyfriend?"
"Oh, don't worry about such details. You just came back from abroad and transferred to Xida University. You need to know these things! Besides, next time your parents urge you to find a girlfriend, I'll help you fend them off," Jiang Liuer said nonchalantly.
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, snorted coldly, and looked away without saying a word.
At that moment, his gaze paused.
In his line of sight, a girl in a floral dress stood by the riverbank, seemingly about to walk into the water.
