If you can guess the other party's intention, you can respond accordingly. Yu Jiao and Liu Ziqi obviously thought of the same thing, and both of their brows relaxed.
Chang'an Avenue is brightly lit at night, as bright as day. The street is lined with vendors, some selling snacks, some selling masks, lanterns and other small items, as well as dragon and lion dances, jugglers and fire-breathing performers. The crowds are bustling and lively.
As soon as Liu Yaoyu got off the car, she started looking at lanterns at the street stalls. She fell in love with a rabbit lantern at first sight. Liu Ziqi took out his purse to pay and asked Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling to each choose one they liked. Yu Jiao chose a hexagonal lantern with a landscape painting on it, and Yu Fuling chose the same one as Yu Jiao.
The three girls walked down the street holding lighted lanterns, with Liu Ziqi and Wei Lichu following behind.
When Yu Jiao saw this scene, she couldn't help but think of a time before when she, Yao Yu, and Yu Fuling went out shopping together, and Yu Qizhe and Lu Jin did the same, following behind them.
It has only been a short time, but things and people have changed. I am afraid it will never happen again.
After watching the lion dance, they went to watch some acrobatics, and finally guessed riddles. Yu Fuling had been trying to find a chance to talk to Yu Jiao, but as Liu Yaoyu was right beside them, she couldn't open her mouth, so she held back.
It was not until Liu Yaoyu picked something up at a street stall and called Liu Ziqi over to pay that Yu Fuling asked Yu Jiao, "What happened between you and my brother? Haven't you reconciled yet?"
Yu Jiao held the lantern and looked at the crowd in the distance, "Didn't he tell you? Sister, he and I will only be brother and sister from now on, nothing else."
Yu Fuling was stunned. Yu Qizhe had always kept everything to himself since he was a child and never told anyone else. When she knew that Yu Qizhe was going to Liu's house on the first day of the new year, Yu Fuling thought that he and Yu Jiao would definitely reconcile.
But in the past ten days since returning from Liu's house, Yu Fuling could see that Yu Qizhe was becoming more and more gloomy and unhappy, and Yu Jiao had not come to Kanjing Hutong again. Even today, on the Lantern Festival, she just asked someone to invite her out to play, and had no intention of looking for her younger brother at all. Yu Fuling realized that the two had not reconciled.
"Yu...Yu Jiao, don't you like me anymore?" Yu Fuling asked cautiously.
Yu Jiao heard this and smiled softly, "He said that he and I are just siblings." She looked up at the black sky, "Sister Fuling, being siblings is actually pretty good. No matter what happens in the future, I will always recognize you as my sister."
Yu Fuling didn't know what to say for a moment. She didn't understand why her younger brother said that he only had brotherly and sister feelings for Yu Jiao, when it was obvious that these two people were getting along very well before.
Yu Jiao was adopted by the Liu family and became the eldest daughter. She never despised her younger brother's background. Tianhan was always worried that there was not enough charcoal in their yard and that Qizhe would be cold while studying. She also secretly gave her money and asked her to buy paper and pen for her younger brother. Where can I find such a thoughtful and considerate girl in the future?
Liu Yaoyu bought a bunch of things, and Jianjia and Bailu hurried to take them. It was already late, so they prepared to go home.
When she reached the end of the street, Yu Jiao suddenly smelled a familiar scent. Her expression changed slightly, and she sniffed the fragrance and found its source - a food stall on the corner of the street.
The stall owner was dressed in black and had a mask on his face, which was something you could see everywhere on the street. On his stall were freshly-cooked shrimp balls and steamed glutinous rice with pork ribs.
Yu Jiao looked at the two kinds of food, her eyes slightly moistened, "Stayer, how much are these two kinds of food?"
The black-clad stall owner looked at Yu Jiao, narrowed his eyes slightly under the mask, and said in a low voice, "Not for sale."
"Want to eat this?" Liu Ziqi asked in a gentle voice.
Yu Jiao nodded vigorously. This tasted very much like what her senior brother Fu Chuan had made...
Liu Ziqi glanced at the stall owner, took out a heavy purse and placed it on the stall. "This silver should be enough to buy your stall."
Unexpectedly, the black-clad stall owner didn't even look at the money bag. He just waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly and said, "I said I won't sell it."
Yu Jiao looked deeply at the stall owner with her almond-shaped eyes, "But since you have set up a stall, why don't you sell them? I really like these two foods."
The black-clothed stall owner glanced at Yu Jiao and saw that her almond-shaped eyes were filled with watery light. Under the lights of Chang'an Street, she looked quite pitiful. He said, "These two foods of mine cannot be bought with silver. If you can recite the first and second volumes of the Golden Chamber and Jade Box, you can exchange them for these two foods."
Yu Jiao was surprised and had a strange thought in her mind, but she didn't have time to think about it and the thought flashed away.
"Okay, I'll carry you." Yu Jiao answered directly.
“It doesn’t count if you recite it incorrectly.” The stall owner in black had a low voice, but with a hint of amusement.
Yu Jiao felt that the tone sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
Liu Yaoyu said with some dissatisfaction, "You are clearly trying to make things difficult for me!" She tried to pull Yu Jiao, "Third sister, these two dishes are nothing special. They are available everywhere in the restaurant. I will ask the maid in the mansion to learn how to make them for you tomorrow."
Yu Jiao was reluctant to leave. She knew that the restaurant also had these two dishes, but the smell was too familiar. It was very similar to the cooking of her senior brother Fu Chuan. Even though she had tasted it before and found that the taste was different, she still wanted to try it.
