"Nothing." Qu Li smiled and took Ah Qi's hand again. "Have you learned martial arts?"
"A little."
"Quite a quick reaction!"
Ah Qi smiled shyly.
The three of them came to the butter tea stall and ordered three bowls of butter tea.
"It tastes good." Qu Li praised.
Ah Qi asked, "Sister, aren't you from Xiling?"
"No, I came here to check some things."
"What does my sister want to check?"
"You must be eleven or twelve years old. You can't help me."
"How can I..." Ah Qi was about to retort why he couldn't do that, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back: "My family can help you!"
Qu Li couldn't help but laugh and rubbed his head. "Thank you for your kindness, but other people really can't help with these things."
"Oh!" Ah Qi felt somewhat disappointed.
There was a commotion outside, and Qu Li looked over curiously: "What's going on?"
"It must be the Firework Fairy coming!" Tianqing explained.
Qu Li was also curious about how beautiful this Firework Fairy was. He tilted his head and looked at Ah Qi: "Have you finished drinking?"
Ah Qi nodded heavily: "Okay."
The three of them ran out again and saw sixteen burly Xiling men carrying a flower stand, on which stood a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes.
She was indeed extremely beautiful, with skin as white as cream, eyebrows as dark as distant black, and especially her eyes, which were like icy glass.
Tianqing frowned, his eyes moved to Qu Li's face, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ah Qi said, "This time the Firework Fairy seems a bit like my sister."
The reason he chose her in the first place was because she looked very similar to Changsun Lingyue.
Qu Li clenched his fingers and his heart beat fast.
The Firework Fairies of Xiling are basically selected from aristocratic families. If she looks like this Firework Fairy, does it mean that she has found clues related to her biological father?
Seeing that she was silent and only followed Changsun Lingyue with her eyes, Tianqing gently shook her sleeve.
Qu Li regained his composure and asked, "Whose daughter is this year's Firework Fairy?"
"It's the second lady of the Changsun family, Changsun Lingyue." Ah Qi blurted out.
Qu Li looked over suspiciously, and he moved his lips: "The Firework Fairy election is no secret."
"The Changsun family?" Tian Qing frowned. "Is it the former Prime Minister?"
"Yeah." Ah Qi didn't say anything more.
Qu Li smiled and said, "There seems to be some acrobatics going on up ahead. Let's go check it out!"
Ah Qi took another deep look at Changsun Lingyue standing on the flower stand, and then let Qu Li lead him to the circus stall in front.
"You like that Changsun Lingyue?"
Qu Li's sudden question made Ah Qi blush.
If it weren't for the mask, he felt that he would be extremely embarrassed.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!"
"Sister, don't tease me!"
"It's not shameful to like someone."
Ah Qi didn't say anything.
His sister also has someone she likes, but that bad guy will never allow them to spend their whole life with the one they love.
Moreover, it was because of that person that Prime Minister Changsun retired early and returned home.
However, that person did not want to bear the blame, so he let Changsun Lingyue participate in the Firework Fairy election, as if he was very kind to the Changsun clan.
Thinking of this, his grip tightened involuntarily, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Being pinched, Qu Li frowned, "A Qi?"
After shouting several times, Ah Qi finally came back to his senses from his thoughts.
"Sorry, sister."
Seeing Qu Li's hand turned red from being pinched by him, his face was full of apology.
"Are you remembering something unpleasant?"
Ah Qi lowered his eyes, "Today is a happy day!"
Even though he tried his best to smile, Qu Li still felt loneliness and depression in his eyes.
"This is for you!"
There happened to be a candied haws vendor nearby, so she picked up three strings and handed one to him. "Sour and sweet, forget all the unpleasantness!"
Ah Qi nodded, "Sister is so nice!"
"It's fate that we met tonight!"
“So sweet.”
Normally he didn't like to eat these things, but perhaps because the candied haws were given to him by her, or perhaps because he saw Changsun Lingyue, he actually felt that this string of candied haws was particularly sweet.
"How much do you know about the Changsun clan?"
Ah Qi was about to speak, but suddenly changed his mind.
"I'm still very young, I just like the beautiful Changsun Lingyue."
Qu Li stared at the little puppy pretending to be well-behaved in front of him, and suddenly laughed.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Ah Qi suddenly felt guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"Nothing! I just remembered a story."
"I love listening to stories the most!" Ah Qi looked at her eyes that were curved like crescent moons obediently.
Qu Li rubbed the top of his head and told him the story of Pinocchio in a gentle voice.
Ah Qi was very smart and immediately understood that the child named Pinocchio that Qu Li was talking about was obviously him.
He just lied!
But he had no choice!
"Okay, there seems to be a fireworks show over there!" Qu Li looked into the distance, "Let's go over there and take a look."
The fireworks in ancient times were not as diverse and colorful as modern fireworks, but they were enough to make people feel happy.
Many women make wishes to the fireworks, praying that the men they like will accept their tokens of love.
"Ms. Qu, people have been heading to Huahe one after another. Do you want to go and take a look?" Tianqing asked.
"good."
Before they arrived at the Flower River, many couples had already hung love locks by the river.
