There were many lanterns on the street, and many people, mostly young men and women, except for vendors. Lantern festivals have always been a good opportunity for men and women to develop feelings for each other.
Of course, many men were very interested in her beautiful face, but after seeing the men beside her, none of them dared to approach her.
Fengguang's hand was held by Sijia the whole time, and it was thanks to him that she wasn't swept away by the crowd. But with his hand in hers, her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter. If he had always been this passionate, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly. But he was a cold and aloof person, and that's why his intimate gestures made her feel even more...excited.
That's right, it's exciting.
There was another old woman selling candied hawthorns on the street. When she saw the candied hawthorns, her eyes lit up instantly. Since she had no money, she naturally turned her gaze to Sijia. Her sparkling eyes practically screamed, "Please buy some for me!"
Sijia just watched her act cute, unmoved.
Feng Guang shook his hand and began to plead, "Will you buy it for me?"
He's the kind of person who loves buying her clothes, so buying her a string of candied hawthorns shouldn't be a problem, right?
"You've already eaten three candied hawthorn skewers on the way here."
"But I still want to eat."
He coldly refused, "No, you'll get a toothache."
"Sijia, you're the best person. Just one string of them, okay?" When she pleaded, her lips were like cherry blossoms, her eyebrows like ink paintings, and her eyes like autumn water, exuding an indescribable gentleness and delicacy.
Si Jia enjoyed her pleading tone for a while, and her voice softened his heart, so he took action. However, instead of going to the candied hawthorn vendor, he took her hand and led her to a jewelry store.
She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "There's no food here, what are we doing here?"
He glanced down at her. "Buy something."
"Jewelry stores only sell women's things, do you mean you're planning to buy it as a gift for Feng Miyin?" This statement was full of hostility.
Si Jia suddenly raised his hand and touched the top of her head, a slight smile playing on his lips. He said to the shopkeeper, "Bring out the best gold hairpins and jade hairpins here."
"Please wait a moment, sirs." The shopkeeper could tell at a glance that the two were dressed in expensive clothes and would certainly be generous with their money, so he did not dare to be negligent and quickly laid out the items.
Feng Guang paused for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Are you going to buy me a hairpin?"
He stroked her soft, flowing hair behind her head, a faint smile playing on his lips. "See if there's anything you like."
When he softens his voice, it seems to possess a strange charm that penetrates the eardrum and reaches the heart, making one's heart flutter uncontrollably.
Feng Guang was once again certain that she was indeed powerless against him. With one hand still being held by him, she could only use the other hand to press against her cheek, trying to cool down her burning face. But looking into his eyes, which held a hint of amusement, she failed. She could only turn her head away from him to feel a little better.
The shopkeeper was very perceptive. "Young lady, look, these are all the best hairpins in our shop. Do you see any you like?"
"Let me see..." She glanced at the gold hairpins on the table, then looked at them again. All of these pieces of jewelry were exquisitely crafted and beautiful. She also realized that she seemed to have a problem making choices.
