"Hold him and sit up together."
Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou spoke almost at the same time.
After Meng Xunzhou finished speaking, he pointed behind him and motioned for Song Shishi to sit up.
Song Shishi originally wanted to say that she would take Li Haoyang to take the bus, but before she could finish her words, she froze in place when she heard what Meng Xunzhou said clearly.
Meng Xunzhou thought she was worried that he couldn't carry her, so he added, "Come on up, the lion dance will start soon."
When he heard about the lion dance, Li Haoyang completely forgot about his fear, grabbed Song Shishi's hand and walked towards Meng Xunzhou's car.
He urged, "Pretty aunt, let's hurry up, I want to see the lion dance."
As soon as the corner of Meng Xunzhou's mouth rose, he quickly clenched his fist and covered his lips with it, and even pretended to cough twice.
Seeing Li Haoyang jumping up and down in a hurry, Song Shishi smiled calmly, "Then let's go."
...
...
After Song Shishi held Li Haoyang and sat in the back seat of Meng Xunzhou's car, Meng Xiaoqi shouted, "Let's go~"
Li Haoyang had never looked at Beijing like this before. He held Song Shishi's neck with his little hands. Although he didn't dare to move his little head, his bright eyes were looking around all the time.
When we arrived at the street where the Lantern Festival was being held, there were so many people that it was impossible to ride a bicycle.
Meng Xunzhou and his friends parked their bicycles at the intersection and locked them.
Several people walked side by side into the street market.
"Brother, I really want to hear the gong sound of the lion dance."
As Meng Xiaoqi spoke, she jumped on the spot and looked toward the crowd, trying to see if the lion dance team was coming towards them.
Li Haoyang also wanted to see, but he was too short and could not see anything.
Song Shishi was afraid that he would be squeezed by the crowd, so she had to pick him up.
"Let me do it. This street is very long. If you hold him, you won't be able to lift your arms tomorrow. How can you go to work?"
As Meng Xunzhou spoke, he did not give Song Shishi a chance to refuse. He directly picked up Li Haoyang, lifted him above his head, and let Li Haoyang ride on his shoulders.
Li Haoyang was a little afraid of Meng Xunzhou. When Meng Xunzhou carried him over, his whole body stiffened.
However, when he sat on Meng Xunzhou's shoulders and his vision instantly widened, the little guy forgot all his fears.
He pointed straight ahead and cheered happily: "Lion, lion, there it is!"
Song Shishi raised her hands high to protect Li Haoyang behind her, fearing that he would accidentally fall down out of excitement.
Meng Xunzhou turned around and looked at Song Shishi, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and with his other hand tightly grasped Li Haoyang's leg.
"Don't worry, I'm here and won't let him fall. I'll take you to the front to see."
Because the lion dance team arrived, the tourists in the middle began to retreat to both sides of the street.
Meng Xunzhou took Song Shishi and Li Haoyang forward and soon got separated from Xu Qiang, Meng Xiaoqi and others.
Fortunately, Li Haoyang was in a high position, so Xu Qiang and others could see where they were in the crowd at a glance.
Meng Xunzhou was indeed a soldier, strong and healthy. When the lion dance team came over, they had already squeezed to the front.
Meng Xunzhou stood behind Song Shishi, protecting her to prevent people from crowding behind and bumping into her.
"Wow...wow...beautiful aunt, look, there's also a dragon dancer."
Li Haoyang kept clapping and asked Song Shishi to watch with him from time to time.
The surroundings were bustling with activity, but Song Shishi felt extremely calm as she watched the hustle and bustle in front of her.
Because she clearly felt that the person behind her was protecting her very well.
Just now, not far from her, a girl was almost pushed out by the people behind her and hit the dragon dancer.
If the accompanying staff hadn't supported her in time, who knows what the situation would be like now.
After the dragon and lion dance team left and the crowd dispersed, Meng Xiaoqi and the others squeezed over.
"Brother, let's go guess the lantern riddles together. I just heard someone say there are prizes for guessing the lantern riddles correctly."
Meng Xiaoqi was extremely excited as it was a rare opportunity for her to come out and relax.
Meng Xunzhou did not agree immediately, but turned to Song Shishi and asked for her opinion.
"Let's go. There are a lot of fun things and delicious food over there."
Li Haoyang was also intrigued by Meng Xiaoqi's words, "Let's go, let's go."
"Then let's go and have a look together."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Song Shishi smiled helplessly.
Seeing the candied haws, Li Haoyang started to make a fuss about wanting to eat some, while Meng Xunzhou and Song Shishi were guessing riddles over there. Finally, Xu Qiang and Xu Li said they would take Li Haoyang to buy some, and the little guy finally calmed down.
When Song Shishi came to her senses, Meng Xunzhou was the only one left by her side; everyone else had disappeared.
"Hey? Where are they?"
Meng Xunzhou took the lantern from the boss, handed it to Song Shishi, and replied, "Maybe they saw something else interesting. Don't worry about them. They must think it's boring because they didn't guess the riddle."
"Yeah, that's right." Song Shishi nodded and stopped hesitating.
She and Meng Xunzhou haven't celebrated the Lantern Festival or visited the lantern festival together for several years.
In the past, she and Meng Xunzhou won the most prizes at the annual lantern festival.
"Comrade Song? I didn't expect to meet you here by chance."
Song Shishi lowered her head to admire the lantern in her hand. As soon as she looked up, she saw Xie Youan walking towards her.
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
She smiled awkwardly and subconsciously glanced at Meng Xunzhou.
Sure enough, when he saw Xie Youan, Meng Xunzhou's face turned very ugly.
"that……"
"I just saw an acrobatic performance up ahead, do you want to go and watch it?"
Song Shishi was just about to speak to ease the embarrassment, thinking of just finding an excuse and leaving with Meng Xunzhou.
Who knew that Xie Youan would directly invite her to watch an acrobatic show. How could she refuse?
After all, Xie Youan is her superior now and has no ill will towards her, so she shouldn't do anything too embarrassing.
"No, we have something else to do, go and see for yourself."
When Xie Youan reached out to pull Song Shishi, Meng Xunzhou, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood between Song Shishi and Xie Youan, blocking all possible opportunities for Xie Youan to get close to Song Shishi.
Realizing Meng Xunzhou's intention, Song Shishi turned her head and smiled secretly with her hands covering her lips.
Meng Xunzhou is jealous, right?
This time, the jealousy was a bit strong and Song Shishi couldn't ignore it.
"Comrade Song, is this true? Are you really in trouble?"
Xie Youan didn't believe what Song Shishi said at all. He took a step to the side, looked at Song Shishi and asked.
Song Shishi nodded, "Yes, we have companions. After meeting up with them, we will leave."
In front of Xie Youan, Song Shishi naturally defended Meng Xunzhou and helped him cover up his lie.
Xie Youan was obviously a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
Song Shishi replied politely, and then she heard Meng Xunzhou snort coldly beside her.
After Xie Youan left, Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou continued to move forward.
Suddenly Meng Xunzhou walked to the street. Song Shishi stopped and looked, and saw Meng Xunzhou standing next to a stall making candy figures.
"I remember you loved eating this when you were a kid."
Meng Xunzhou took a finished sugar man from the boss and handed it to Song Shishi.
I didn't expect Meng Xunzhou still remembered this.
“That was when I was a kid, but I still like it now.”
When you hold the sugar man in your mouth, your mouth and heart will feel sweet.
"Let's keep going and see if there's anything else fun to do."
Having said that, Song Shishi turned around and continued walking forward.
"Shishi!"
Meng Xunzhou's eyes narrowed.
