Mo Qing pouted and shifted his gaze to Bai Yao and Shen Li. Actually, three people can fight, right?
Chen Li: "After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, let's go set off fireworks, or go for a walk on the street, so we won't fight anymore."
Judging from how decisively Pei Yu refused, it’s better not to fight.
Bai Yao nodded, "It's almost time for dinner, let's go eat first."
Mo Qing: If none of the four people fight, how can he fight alone?
"Forget it, let's play it another day."
"Let's go, let's go eat."
The New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous, with more than twenty dishes. There weren’t many people, so they simply didn’t have separate tables and sat around a big round table.
Shen Changshan raised his glass and said a few polite words before everyone started eating.
Everyone had a pot of wine at hand, and each poured a glass of wine and drank a glass before eating.
Pei Yu was sitting with Mo Qing and Shen Yuanzhou. He wanted to sit next to A Li, but that was not possible yet.
There was a charcoal brazier in the room, so the food didn't cool down so quickly, and there was no need to talk while eating or sleeping. Everyone ate and talked, and the atmosphere was very warm.
After dinner, the streets were bustling today. Everyone wanted to go out and take a look. In addition, it didn’t snow at night, so there were many people on the streets.
Chen Li and Pei Yu were walking at the back, and as they walked they became separated from the crowd.
Pei Yu pulled her to the other side and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Ali, let's go shopping on our own and not join them, okay?"
Chen Li smiled: "You dragged me here, and now you ask me what I've been doing."
Pei Yu pushed her shoulders and walked forward. When passing by a small stall, he took the masks of the Big Bad Wolf and the Little White Rabbit from the stall. He put the Little White Rabbit mask on Chen Li's face and put on the Big Bad Wolf mask himself. Then he took her hand and walked into the crowd.
Well, she seems to know the purpose of this mask.
The two were walking in the crowd. There were many men and women wearing masks like them. No one said anything. They were all shopping on their own.
Chen Li bought some food on the street. When she couldn't finish it anymore, she stuffed it into the mouth of Pei Yu who was standing beside her. He either ate it or carried it in his hand.
Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui walked around the street for less than half an hour before returning. By then everyone had already dispersed.
Only Xu Taohua stayed with them. She did not bring Shen Mochi out. He was too young, the wind was strong outside, and there were too many people around, so she just let the maid coax him to sleep.
Chen Li and the other person gradually came to a small river. Although it was not that day, there were still vendors on both sides selling river lanterns. Many river lanterns had already been placed in the river.
Pei Yu walked over and asked for a river lantern with a cassia tree in it, wrote a note and stuffed it inside, then walked over with the river lantern.
"Ah, let's release it together."
"You still believe this?"
Pei Yu took her hand and interlocked their fingers. "I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
He had never met Chen Li before, and had never thought about what the person he would spend his life with would be like. In addition, due to his childhood experiences, he did not believe in these illusory things.
But now, he is willing to believe these things, just because there is someone in his heart and they have a bond from then on.
The two walked up along the river and squatted down in a place where there were fewer people.
Pei Yu squatted behind Shen Li, hugged her petite body in his arms, took out the lantern, took the girl's hand, and put the river lantern into the river.
When Chen Li turned around, she saw him with his eyes closed, his thick and long eyelashes hanging on his eyelids. Not long after, he opened his eyes and met her gentle gaze.
"What did you wish for?"
Pei Yu raised his lips and smiled, "Buddha said it cannot be said."
There were a lot of people here, so Pei Yu pulled him up and walked back slowly.
In the previous twenty-two years, he had never stopped to take a good look at this lively scene. Firstly, it was because it had nothing to do with him, and secondly, he had not seen such a warm scene for a long time and subconsciously rejected it.
Now, looking at the girl beside him, he had concerns, a beloved woman. Her arrival brought all these things into his world.
Chen Li saw a stall selling fried meatballs, bought one, and put one in front of Pei Yu, "Ayu, you try it first."
His thoughts were disrupted, Pei Yu took off his mask and opened his mouth to eat.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"tasty."
Chen Li took off the mask and placed it in his hand, "I think it tastes good too. It smells delicious."
As he said this, he put one into his mouth and ate it while walking. There were only twelve meatballs in a serving, and they were quickly finished.
As soon as they reached a quieter alley, they both stopped.
Chen Li looked at Pei Yu and asked, "Who have you offended during the New Year? I won't let you have a good time even on New Year's Eve."
Pei Yu shrugged his shoulders, pulled her to his side, and made a gesture. More than a dozen arrows shot towards their faces in the dark alley.
In the faint moonlight, you can see that the arrow is flashing with a cold light. The color is slightly different and it is also poisoned.
As soon as the secret guard behind him appeared, he started fighting with the man in black who wanted to attack him.
Pei Yu used his inner strength to block the arrows that were flying towards him, batch after batch, but no arrow could get close to him.
Chen Li stood beside him and did not relax her vigilance. She felt that someone was watching her in the dark. She used her mental power to investigate and found a man in black chasing after a bow and arrow in an attic not far away. The arrow was pointing at Pei Yu.
It was obvious that the man had internal strength, because the arrow was surrounded by internal strength, and Pei Yu's mind was mostly focused here. If he was attacked by surprise, injury was inevitable.
