Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu had dinner very late. After a nap, Xu Yu had no appetite and just had two bites.
"Why are there so many people outside? What's going on?"
Chu Zhaozhao was standing on the balcony when she suddenly noticed that there were many people standing in the square in the distance.
"Oh, I remember now. There will be a Kongming lantern launch today. The people over there should be waiting for the Kongming lanterns."
"Kongming Lantern, wow Xu Yu, let's go out too."
Chu Zhaozhao really wanted to go, but looked at Xu Yu, who was very hesitant.
Every year, there are accidents of varying sizes at the Kongming Lantern Festival, such as children and parents getting lost, or stampedes.
"There are a lot of people outside, you..."
"Xu Yu, just let me go. I promise to be a good boy and not wander around. I will definitely follow you."
Chu Zhaozhao held Xu Yu's hand, then grabbed Xu Yu's arm and began to shake it continuously, which was considered as acting coquettishly.
"but……"
"Don't worry, if we go too late we really won't have any seats left. Just let me go."
Chu Zhaozhao stamped her feet and acted coquettishly while gritting her teeth.
Xu Yu had no choice but to take Chu Zhaozhao out.
"Then we have a deal. We wear masks when we go out and don't go to crowded places. If you get lost, you call me and don't run around anymore."
Chu Zhaozhao kept nodding her head. At this time, no matter what Xu Yu said, Chu Zhaozhao agreed.
"Oh, I was controlled by my third brother before, and now I have to be controlled by you too. I'm really impressed."
Chu Zhaozhao said as she changed her shoes.
Xu Yu chuckled, then went to the room to get a coat for Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt. She was only thinking about going out and didn't consider whether it would be cold outside at night.
"How long does this Kongming lantern show last? Why doesn't it seem like it's even started yet?"
Everyone around them was rushing to the scene. If Chu Zhaozhao wasn't inconvenienced, she would really want to run over.
"It doesn't start until nine o'clock every night. There's still an hour left. Don't worry, we can get there."
The square is not far from Xu Yu's home, but there is traffic control on the road, so many people can only take a detour, and drivers cannot drive there.
"Xu Yu, I want to eat buns."
Walking on the road, Chu Zhaozhao saw a bun shop.
Xu Yu looked at the time and said, "It's past eight o'clock in the evening. Do you want to eat buns?"
"I don't know why, I just want to eat."
Chu Zhaozhao didn't act like a rogue, he just spoke calmly.
"Hello, do you have any buns left?"
"It's already this late, I'm about to close the shop, where are the buns left?"
The shop owner was also puzzled and kept looking at Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao.
The two people were wearing masks and didn't look like they were here to buy anything. Instead, they looked like they were looking for trouble.
"It's out of stock here. I'll take you somewhere else to buy it."
The two of them walked along the street and didn't see any buns being sold.
"Forget it, I won't eat it. I'm not hungry anyway, I'm just greedy."
"It's easy to just eat something. Have you forgotten that there's takeout now?"
Xu Yu held Chu Zhaozhao's hand with one hand and took out his mobile phone with the other hand to order takeout.
The smile on Chu Zhaozhao's face brightened, and her tone sounded much better.
"Oh, yes, Xu Yu, you are so smart."
Chu Zhaozhao excitedly wanted to hug Xu Yu and kiss him, but her mask restricted Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao obediently held Xu Yu's hand, and the two of them slowly walked towards the square.
As soon as they arrived at the square, Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu spoke much louder, and they stood very close to each other, fearing that they would be separated by the crowd.
"Xu Yu, it's so lively!"
Chu Zhaozhao's eyes were bright. She hadn't seen so many people for a long time.
"Yeah, there are a lot of people here, so don't let go."
Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao held hands. It was the first time Chu Zhaozhao saw so many people after being discharged from the hospital, and she was a little scared.
"Where is the Kongming lantern, Xu Yu, have you been here before?"
Chu Zhaozhao blinked, curious about everything.
In the past, when Chu Zhaozhao was free at work, he just wanted to lie at home. After lying at home for a long time, Chu Zhaozhao realized that outdoor life was better.
"I haven't been here before, but we can all go around and treat it as your training for the day."
Xu Yu had been looking for somewhere to buy Kongming lanterns, and then he saw a stall selling them at the entrance.
"Take six Kongming lanterns."
"Six, what do you need so many for?"
Chu Zhaozhao asked in confusion.
Xu Yu had already paid, so Chu Zhaozhao could only pick up six Kongming lanterns.
"I'm going to put one for you and one for myself, and the rest are yours. Write your little wishes on them, and they will come true one day."
Xu Yu took the Kongming lantern, took Chu Zhaozhao to a corner with fewer people, and began to write something.
"I haven't released a Kongming lantern yet, so I don't know what to write on it."
Chu Zhaozhao was a little scared, and it was obvious that her hand holding the Kongming lantern was still shaking.
"It's okay, just write whatever you want, whether it's a wish or an idea. As long as it's released by the Kongming lantern, someone will see it."
Xu Yu said to Chu Zhaozhao, Chu Zhaozhao nodded, then picked up a pen and wrote on it.
Xu Yu quickly finished writing his two Kongming lanterns. Chu Zhaozhao wanted to see them, but Xu Yu didn't let her.
“Keep it mysterious.”
“And keep it mysterious.”
Although Chu Zhaozhao was a little upset, she also felt it was understandable.
"Isn't this like what others say, that you can't tell others about your birthday wishes, because if you tell them, they won't come true."
Chu Zhaozhao thought she was very smart and guessed the truth at once, so she started humming "Community".
The person in charge of the process in the square took out a large broadcasting device and turned on the large screen that was usually not turned on.
The countdown for releasing the Kongming lanterns is displayed above. There are still two minutes left before the Kongming lanterns are released.
"Two minutes, it's okay, it's almost there, almost there. Do you think our Kongming lantern can fly? Why do I feel there's a risk?"
Chu Zhaozhao held her Kongming lantern and began to worry.
"You said I was becoming nagging, but it's obviously you who's becoming nagging. You never worried about this kind of thing before."
Xu Yu joked with Chu Zhaozhao, and Chu Zhaozhao felt embarrassed all of a sudden.
What Xu Yu said was not wrong, but Chu Zhaozhao was unwilling to admit it.
Chu Zhaozhao looked at the big screen next to him, and there were only thirty seconds left.
"Twenty-nine, twenty-eight, twenty-seven... let it go!"
Chu Zhaozhao kept counting down according to the time on the big screen. When the time reached zero, Chu Zhaozhao released the Kongming lantern in his hand.
