The day of the "Fire Festival" was really lively and bustling, with BMWs and luxury cars coming and going, laughter and playfulness heard everywhere, and crowds of tourists, jostling each other shoulder to shoulder, as if all the people who had originally stayed at home had run out to the streets that night.
In the past, we could just walk side by side on the street, but now we can only hold hands, for fear that someone would come and we would be lost in the crowd and unable to find each other.
Although I felt that Eunuch Afu and Guard Li must be keeping a close eye on Song Heng and me where I couldn't see them.
The girls were putting on makeup and cursing in coquettish voices, while the men were handsome and elegant. Mixed in with the sounds of passionate shouting, warm applause, and children playing on the roadside... Song Heng and I were walking quietly on the street, not knowing where to go.
Suddenly, a child's tender voice was faintly heard: "Brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for this lady!"
"Brother, this young lady is so pretty, she deserves this pink flower!"
"I wish you and my dear brother a long and happy life together!"
…
I felt happy and wondered if Song Heng would also buy me a flower.
Just as I was thinking about it, a little girl carrying a small bamboo basket ran towards us. Her eyes were round and sparkled even brighter under the lights of the street.
I looked at the branches and leaves in her basket: small pink lotus buds lying on a large lotus leaf, snow-white jasmine, quietly blooming lilies, and large golden sunflowers... It seemed that she had put a lot of thought into it.
I don’t know which one Song Heng will choose.
"Sister, buy a flower for the gentleman next to you!"
I only saw the chubby little girl grinning at me innocently.
?
Why do other people ask their brothers to buy flowers for their sisters, but in my case I am the one buying flowers for Song Heng?
Suppressing the strong doubts in my heart, I smiled gently at the little girl: "Okay!"
"Which one do you think I should pick?" I asked the little girl curiously.
The little girl glanced at me, then seemed a little shy and lowered her head to look at the basket: "How about, sister buy them all?"
If the person in front of me wasn’t a child, I would have thought I had encountered an unscrupulous businessman!
"Why do you say that?" Since I'm a child, I naturally speak in a soft voice.
"Because, because..." The little girl looked up at Song Heng, then immediately lowered her head: "Because these flowers together are only a little bit worthy of this brother..."
?
!
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that Song Heng’s reputation as the “killer of thousands of girls” is really coming true. I turned to look at Song Heng, and he tilted his head slightly and smiled at me.
It seems to be saying that there is nothing I can do, I didn't do anything.
All right! Since the little sister said so, I am just giving her a favor.
And in fact, even if she didn't say it, I would have planned to buy them as well. It's such a fun festival, I must sell the flowers quickly and play with other children.
I gave the money to the little girl: "Okay! Sister thinks you are right!"
The little girl handed me the flower basket with both hands: "I wish you, brother and sister, a long and happy life together!"
I was about to thank her and tell her to go back and play, but Song Heng suddenly squatted down and kept the same height as the little girl: "Okay, brother will remember it, thank you."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but as soon as she did, I saw the little girl's face flush red, just like a red lantern tonight.
Seeing this, I immediately changed the subject and said lightly, "Hey, little sister, I want to ask you, why did you ask other brothers to buy flowers just now, but you asked me to buy flowers?"
The little girl came back to her senses and looked at me. She glanced at Song Heng guiltily and whispered, "Because, because my sister looks more like someone who manages the money..."
puff!
Yeah?
I turned to look at Song Heng and found that he was holding some pastries we had just bought in one hand. Was it because I was walking around with nothing in my hands while Song Heng was carrying things?
But that was Song Heng's idea! I was the one who was supposed to bring it!
Song Heng wasn't annoyed: "Yeah, that's right, really smart."
This made the little girl blush even more. She shouted "Goodbye, brother and sister" and ran away!
I watched the little girl run away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then turned to look at Song Heng, his eyebrows were like cuts, his eyes were like ink, and the noisy crowd coming and going seemed to have become a barrier that isolated him from the world.
It was as if he was born with brilliance, outstanding and unique.
I handed him the flower basket and said, "Come here, little brother. I hope you can manage your money soon!"
Song Heng chuckled lightly: "Shuang'er, have you forgotten? You said you would make money to support me. You can take care of the money you earn. It's enough for me to just stretch out my hand for clothes and open my mouth for food."
I resisted the urge to put all the flowers on his head and immediately changed the subject: "Well, look at your face, you scared the little girl away just now. For the sake of street safety, I have to find a mask for you to wear!"
"Huh? Was he scared away?" Song Heng responded from the side.
"Yes, yes, you can't see what the girl is thinking, but I can!" I said nonsense while pulling him to a mask stall, picked up a fox mask and compared it to him. It was a perfect fit.
After paying, Song Heng suddenly took another smaller fox mask from the stall and said to the boss, "Buy this one too."
"Hmm?" I looked at him.
"We have to wear them together," Song Heng shook the mask at me. "For the sake of street security, I'm also afraid that you will scare the little boy away."
"Wow! You have good taste, sir!" The vendor quickly took the money. "So many young ladies and gentlemen are wearing this together! They are both talented and beautiful, a perfect match!"
