Chapter 45: Lighting Lanterns May you be safe in this life, everything goes well, and all your wishes come true...
"Oh."
Qingzhou sneered, obviously not taking Cheng Changgeng's words seriously. He stuffed the jade pendant into Su Mian's hand, said nothing more, and without giving them a chance to return it, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
"What a strange man."
Su Mian looked down at the jade pendant in his hand. Both its quality and touch were extraordinary, even comparable to those in the dog emperor's private vault.
“Tsk tsk.”
[I’m rich, I’m rich!] ]
Su Mian couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this person is not an ordinary person. If you have the chance, you can go to Manchun Pavilion to find out.
But Cheng Changgeng couldn't help feeling a little jealous after hearing all of this. Not only did Su Mian accept the man's things, he also kept talking about going to take a look. Could it be that he was bribed by a broken jade pendant?
Cheng Changgeng unconsciously tightened his arms around Su Mian.
When he got back, he gave all the things in the warehouse to Su Mian. He didn't believe that the man who didn't even show his face could be better than him!
Su Mian naturally had no idea of Cheng Changgeng's psychological activities. When he reacted, he only felt that the distance between them was too close, and he moved his shoulders awkwardly.
"There are a lot of pickpockets out there, I'll keep this for you, come on, let's go light up the lanterns."
Cheng Changgeng calmly replaced the jade pendant in Su Mian's hand with the lantern he had just bought, and only then was he satisfied.
He didn't throw the jade pendant away, but just tossed it to the servants and told them to keep it. After all, Su Mian was a money-grubber and might make a fuss if he lost it.
Su Mian's attention was drawn to the lanterns, so he didn't pay attention to these details.
Cheng Changgeng bought two lanterns himself, one is a kitten and the other is a rabbit.
In his eyes, Su Mian has always been like a cute and playful kitten with fluffy fur, and sometimes as docile as a good rabbit.
But Su Mian didn't know. He just thought that the kitten was Qiming, so he happily took it and walked towards the river.
Cheng Changgeng followed him closely, holding the rabbit lantern.
At this moment, night is falling and it is almost time to light the lanterns. Many people gather by the river holding lanterns in their hands and praying, waiting for the fireworks to bloom and then putting the lanterns carrying their wishes into the water.
Su Mian finally squeezed into a convenient place to put the lantern, turned around and waved at Cheng Changgeng, then closed his eyes and prayed.
Cheng Changgeng walked towards him step by step, listening to the wishes he expressed in his heart:
[Gods and Gods above, I, Su Mian, have a few small wishes that I hope can come true. ]
[First, I hope to live peacefully in this world. ]
[Second, I hope Qiming grows up healthy and happy. ]
[Third, I hope that Qin Caizi and Rong Ceqing will finally get married. ]
[Fourth, I hope to have the opportunity to return to my original world. ]
The more Cheng Changgeng listened, the colder his heart became. He shook his head helplessly. This heartless guy gave him so many good things, but he didn't even remember him when he made a wish.
[Fifth, I hope the dog emperor...]
Just when Cheng Changgeng finally waited for Su Mian to mention him, fireworks burst and the crowd cheered, drowning out Su Mian's voice.
He didn't hear clearly what Su Mian's fifth wish was, but his amber eyes reflected the young man with a smile on his face as he floated lanterns into the water amid the brilliant fireworks.
"May you have a safe life, everything goes well, and all your wishes come true."
"Hey, Cheng Changgeng, come here quickly! What wish did you make? Let the lantern go!"
As Su Mian called him, Cheng Changgeng walked towards him holding a lantern, and therefore did not notice the danger lurking in the darkness.
