On the night of Yun Feimiao's fifth birthday, the entire Yuncheng was lit up with peach blossom-shaped New Year's lanterns, and the lights were on all night long.
The Yun family would not do anything that would waste people's money and time. They prepared the lights themselves and lit them themselves.
If it was just one child's birthday, they would only light lanterns inside the Yun family, but Yun Feimiao gave half of his birthday to Xie Yang, so they treated this day as the birthday of both children, and naturally they would light more New Year lanterns.
In addition to celebrating Yun Feimiao's birthday, they were also welcoming Xie Yang's arrival.
The cultivators of Yuncheng were unclear about the specific reason, only knowing that the Yun family was celebrating the birthday of their beloved young master. Most of the cultivators in Yuncheng held the Yun family in high esteem, and many joined in the fun, making the occasion even more grand.
Xie Yang didn't care about the hustle and bustle outside. He sat in Yun Feimiao's room, leaning against the window and looking at the twinkling Sui'an lights outside for a long time.
There was a very tall and big tree in Yun Feimiao's yard. Xie Yang couldn't recognize what kind of tree it was. He had only used it as a tool tree for the two of them to run around for exercise.
But that night, the tree was also hung with New Year's lanterns, just like a tree of peach blossoms glowing with warm light, which made Xie Yang fall in love with the tree at once.
"Isn't Feng sleeping yet?"
Yun Feimiao yawned and came to Xie Yang's side: "From now on, I am five years old. I have to go to the clan school tomorrow."
"Afeng will have to go too. We need to go to bed early and get up early, otherwise we will be late."
Yun Feimiao frowned slightly when he said this.
"Before, the third, fifth, and sixth brothers would be slapped on the palms if they were late. It was so miserable."
"Later, the elders discovered that the third brother wasn't afraid of being spanked, so they punished him by making him copy books. He cried while copying, so pitiful."
Xie Yang nodded, his eyes still wide open looking at the lights outside the window, with a faint smile on his face.
"Then A Miao, go to sleep first."
Yun Feimiao was puzzled: "Afeng isn't sleeping?"
Xie Yang said with a bit of excitement: "I still can't seem to sleep."
He was in a state of inexplicable excitement and couldn't sleep at all.
Xie Yang felt that he had never been so happy. He hoped that time could stay at this moment forever. He had A Miao by his side, the elders of the Yun family who loved him above him, and his brothers and sisters who had awkward attitudes but were very nice to him.
He was able to eat and dress warmly, to read and write, to live in a beautiful house, and to have people light the lamp for him for so many years.
Even though this was not his real birthday, everyone still sent him a lot of birthday wishes. Everyone wished him peace and happiness every year.
Xie Yang is not greedy. He does not expect things to get better in the future. He just hopes that everything now can last forever.
But isn’t this kind of thinking also greedy?
Xie Yang wasn't quite sure.
He asked softly, "Ah Miao, what is your birthday wish today?"
Yun Feimiao covered his face and said a little embarrassedly: "I am quite greedy and I make a lot of wishes."
Xie Yang asked doubtfully, "Isn't it possible to only wish for one?"
Yun Feimiao was also a little confused: "If I say it all in one breath, it should count as one, right?"
"I just hope that grandpa, uncles, aunts, daddy, mom, my uncles, brothers, sisters, and Afeng can live a peaceful life. But if I want my family to be peaceful, I must first ensure peace in the world."
"But if I only pray for world peace, I'm afraid God won't notice how much unrest there is in my family, so I'll just pray for everything."
Xie Yang asked curiously, "What about you? Why isn't A Miao in A Miao's wish?"
Even he, who had just arrived at the Yun family, had his wish taken care of, so why was Yun Feimiao himself not taken care of?
Yun Feimiao smiled and said, "As long as everyone is well, I'm very happy."
Yun Feimiao didn’t feel that this wish didn’t take care of himself. His family treated him very well, so as long as everyone was fine, he would be able to live a good life.
But if one day no one treats you well, then...
He doesn't know what to do either?
Yun Feimiao suddenly felt a little melancholy, and he and Xie Yang leaned against the window in a daze.
As he was thinking, he suddenly said to Xie Yang: "A Feng, if one day no one treats us well, then we should also treat ourselves well."
"Hmm?" Xie Yang didn't know why the topic suddenly turned here.
Yun Feimiao asked in a low voice, "Did Afeng's family treat him badly in the past, so he has always been unhappy?"
Yun Feimiao still remembered how Xie Yang looked when he first came to the Yun family. He probably looked unhappy for a long time.
Xie Yang didn't want to talk about the past, but since Yun Feimiao asked, he nodded slightly.
Yun Feimiao said sullenly, "How bad they are! Ah Feng is so cute, yet they treat Ah Feng badly."
Xie Yang also didn’t understand why those people disliked him so much. He used to think that he was a very annoying child, but the elders of the Yun family seemed to like him very much.
Yun Feimiao hugged Xie Yang and said, "If they treat Afeng badly, then Afeng doesn't want them anymore. Afeng needs to learn to treat himself well."
Xie Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Then how can I be good to myself?"
"Let me think about it..." Yun Feimiao began to think seriously.
Although he is smarter than the average child, it is difficult for him to imagine things like this out of thin air. All he can think of are the people and things around him.
"I think Third Brother treats himself very well."
"Huh?" Xie Yang didn't understand.
In his opinion, many of Yun Feiyin's actions were asking for trouble, and he didn't seem to be doing anything good for him.
