After the wreath passed through, Xue Chenjing's squeezed and dislocated hand bones returned to their original positions in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened. He didn't mind the branches of the wreath tightly around his wrist. On the contrary, he liked this feeling of tightness.

It was like being tightly held in someone's hand.

He raised his hand and turned his wrist towards the sunlight, carefully and meticulously admiring the wreath on his wrist, only to find that it looked even better now.

Xue Chenjing's eyelashes were coated with the broken gold of the sunset, and the tail of his eyes curved into a beautiful arc. A happy smile overflowed from the bottom of his eyes. At this moment, he happily forgot to wear Xue Mingyuan's mask.

Yu Yi's eyes wandered around the osmanthus tree, and were finally attracted to him. Are you so happy just to wear a small wreath that doesn't fit your hand?

Xue Chenjing was surrounded by the last rays of light that were about to dissipate. He turned his head and said with a smile: "Now, I'm yours."

Hearing this, the warmth in Yu Yi's eyes disappeared along with the rays of light that dissipated in the sky.

This man, when he uses her, his mouth can be as sweet as it can be, and after using her, his mouth can be as cold as it can be. She had the honor of seeing it once in Yunshan, and again in the sea of ​​​​sunken flowers. @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

For the sake of system tasks, he would try to brainwash her, humbly beg to be her dog, ask her to like him more, and would rather pretend to be someone he hates to get close to her. He can do anything.

Xue Chenjing was willing to act, so she would act with him.

The sunset glow faded, the moon and stars were not yet bright, the candles in the Moon Temple were not yet lit, and the sky and the ground were all in a deep night. Lanterns floated out of the osmanthus forest, piercing the thick night, carrying the hot and scorching wishes in the red dust into the sky, like stars born from the earth.

Ribbons were hung under the lanterns, and bells were tied to the ribbons. The night wind blew past, bringing the tinkling sound.

Yu Yi reached out and grabbed his sleeve, stood on tiptoe and leaned close to his ear, chuckled twice, and whispered: "Okay, you are mine."

Xue Chenjing slowly raised his drooping eyelashes, widened his eyes, and reflected the sky lanterns that were scattered in the sky in his pupils. His heart swelled up lightly, and the whole person turned into a lit sky lantern in a trance, floating up together.

But the next moment, the words in his ears pulled him back to the ground. Yu Yi whispered: "Xue Mingyuan, Mingyuan."

Xue Chenjing felt like he fell off a cliff and was broken into pieces, which was more painful than ever. He didn't even know when the person in front of him left, until the subtle fragrance on her body completely disappeared, until the gongs and drums in the Moon Goddess Temple sounded.

The system sighed and said, "Master, why are you doing this?"

Xue Chenjing saw a group of people coming with his peripheral vision. His figure flashed and he retreated into the shadow of the osmanthus tree. His five fingers were deeply embedded in the rough trunk of the osmanthus tree. The osmanthus tree was bearing his suppressed anger, and the tree crown was trembling, and the tiny flowers fell to the ground.

"Bitter? I'm not bitter." Xue Chenjing slowly and restrainedly pulled back his hand, "The faster she falls in love with him, the happier I am."

The system was speechless: "..." If you are not bitter, then don't sniffle.

Xue Chenjing is used to being the one who is abandoned when faced with a choice. It is natural for Yu Yi to like Xue Mingyuan, and it is natural for everyone to like Xue Mingyuan.

When she completely falls in love with Xue Mingyuan, he will tell her, "The person who has always been by your side is me." Isn't this very interesting? Just thinking about it, the frustration in his heart now is nothing.

Xue Chenjing gently stroked the fingerprints on the tree trunk, as if he was comforting the osmanthus tree that he destroyed, and also as if he was comforting himself.

In the other room, Yu Yi found Senior Brother He who had gone crazy, grabbed him and hugged him in his arms, and followed him into the Moon Goddess Temple for a walk.

This Moon Temple is not large in scale, there is only one temple, and the painted beams and pillars are still new and bright. It was a temple that was only built five years ago, and the incense is very strong.

There is only one god worshiped in the temple, the Moon Goddess. @ Infinitely good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Fengsheng County belongs to Liangzhou and is under the jurisdiction of Yunxiao Sect, one of the twelve immortal sects. It is said that many places in Liangzhou believe in the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess in the temple holds a moon in her left hand and twists an osmanthus branch in her right hand. She is wearing a gold-colored dress and a jade bead crown. She looks down at the believers kneeling in front of her with kind eyes.

Legend has it that He will receive the prayers of believers hanging on the laurel tree every full moon night, and then select the lucky ones to fulfill their wishes.

The temple was brightly lit and filled with incense. After a series of rituals to worship the gods, the temple finally came to an end. People returned to the city one after another, holding lanterns.

Yu Yi came out of the Moon Goddess Temple and saw a man sitting on a lantern stall, holding a square lantern with four sides and painting on it with a brush. When she walked over, Xue Chenjing had just finished his last stroke.

He picked up the lantern and asked the stall owner to add candles. After the candles were lit, they illuminated the painting on the lampshade. It was a red-crowned crane with its wings spread and dancing. Simple lines outlined its lifelike appearance. Its neck and wings were painted dark black, and the cinnabar on its head was dazzling red in the light.

Senior Brother He immediately flapped his wings and flew over, landing on the lantern pole and chirping, obviously very satisfied with his portrait.

Xue Chenjing glanced at the wreath on Senior Brother He's neck, then at the one on his wrist, and snorted in his heart.

Xue Mingyuan actually wore the same wreath as Senior Brother He.

When Yu Yi approached, he turned the lantern in another direction, revealing the portrait of the woman on the other side. The brushstrokes were smudged to create cloud-like hair, carefully drawn eyebrows and eyes, and even the long eyelashes were outlined with a fine brush, with a bright red flower dotted between the eyebrows.

Xue Chenjing held the lamp, his eyebrows flying, but he suppressed them, with a suitable smile on his lips, he asked softly: "Do you like it?"

Before Yu Yi answered, Senior Brother He chirped first, like it, it likes it! It is indeed the unique red-crowned crane in the world, even its courtship dance is so handsome and unrestrained.

Yu Yi couldn't help but chuckle, and reached out to touch it, but was afraid that the ink was not dry yet, "This flower ornament is a hibiscus flower."

Xue Chenjing paused subtly, and only then realized that Xue Mingyuan must have never seen her wearing a hibiscus flower ornament.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he tried to deceive her by saying, "Well, I don't know why, but I always think that the hibiscus flower ornaments you draw must be very beautiful. Facts have proved that they are indeed very beautiful."

Yu Yi seemed to be convinced by him, and raised her eyes to smile at him, "Your painting is indeed very beautiful."

Xue Chenjing stared at her smiling face and shook his head, "No, it's the people in the painting who are beautiful."

"Beautiful, all of them are beautiful." The stall owner suddenly interrupted and raised a finger to point at the flower lantern in the air, "Young master's painting skills are good." He raised another finger to point at Yu Yi in the air, "The girl is also beautiful." He put the two fingers together, "When the two are combined, isn't it better?"

The stall owner's mouth was as sweet as honey, and he continued, "You two standing together are really a perfect match, a perfect match made in heaven."

Yu Yi was a little embarrassed. Xue Chenjing looked at the stall owner with wide eyes and asked seriously, "Really?"

Yu Yi: "..."

The stall owner probably didn't expect that someone would take such polite words seriously. He was stunned for a moment before nodding and said, "Really, seriously, you dare not tell lies in front of the temple of the Moon Goddess."

Xue Chenjing immediately took out a handful of silver from his arms and put it into the stall owner's box. The sound of the silver coins falling stunned the stall owner.

Yu Yi couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she grabbed his hand and hurriedly dragged him away from the lantern stall: "Go quickly, don't disturb the stall owner's business."

The stall owner turned around to take a look at the box full of silver and shouted: "Hey, it's okay! Sir, please stay, you really gave too much silver!"

Xue Chenjing was dragged forward by Yu Yi. He lowered his eyes and stared at the hand that was holding him. Yu Yi's palm was soft and her fingers were slender. He only needed to gently clench his five fingers to hold it in his palm.

Unfortunately, the person held by this hand was Xue Mingyuan.

However, he changed his mind and thought, what does it matter, anyway, the person she really holds on to is him. Anyway, the person she really faces from now on is him, and only him.

Xue Chenjing moved his fingertips, and took the initiative to squeeze into her fingers, tightening them, and holding them.

Yu Yi paused, pulled her hand, but didn't pull it back, and turned back to look at him in silence. Xue Chenjing wore an impeccable smile. At this moment, he really looked no different from Xue Mingyuan. He asked politely and gently, "Can I hold your hand?"

Yu Yi pointed at their intertwined fingers with her eyes. She couldn't pull them apart. "You already hold your hand."

Xue Chenjing lowered his head slightly. His eyes were illuminated by the candlelight, and her face was reflected in them. His tone was gentle and irresistible. He said, "Then can you not get rid of me? Just consider it a reward for me to draw this lantern. You see, Senior Brother He also likes it."

Senior Brother He nodded vigorously on the lamppost.

Yu Yi looked at him like this, and her heart was actually a little shaken. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was Xue Chenjing or he was really Xue Mingyuan?

The road was full of people holding lanterns and walking back. Everyone walked in groups, hand in hand, and joy and laughter floated lively in the moving lights. It would be really lonely to walk alone.

When Yu Yi was held by him and took a step forward again, she did not refuse.

Xue Chenjing held the lantern in one hand and held her with the other. The two fires in his body returned, and his body was no longer as cold as before. He already had human body temperature.

The two hands were tightly clasped together, and the skin touching each other gradually spread the hotter temperature.

The Moon Goddess Temple is not far from Fengsheng County. It only takes about half an hour to walk back. This is during the festival when everyone is walking and playing.

On festival days, the city gates are closed late. The city was also brightly lit, shops and restaurants were still open, stalls were set up along the streets, and many jugglers were performing on the streets.

He was still reluctant to let go until they entered the city, so Yu Yi had to say, "My palms are sweating, and I feel uncomfortable."

Xue Chenjing then led her to the street, put the lantern on the ground, let go of her hand and took a look, then pinched the hem of his sleeve to wipe away the wet sweat in her palms one by one.

Yu Yi looked at his focused and gentle expression, and her heart was shaking even more. She shouted uncertainly, "Xue Mingyuan?"

Xue Chenjing's movements subtly paused for a moment, and then continued as if nothing had happened, and replied softly, "Hmm?"

Was it really Xue Mingyuan? Could it be that she was wrong before?

Yu Yi wanted to say something else, but when she glanced over his shoulder, she suddenly saw a familiar figure. She turned her eyes slightly and saw an elderly figure pulling a doctor-like man and hurriedly passing through the crowd.

The wrinkled face was full of anxiety, and under the light, there were still traces of tears.

"Grandma Li?" Yu Yi said in surprise, pulling her hand away and rushing in the direction where Grandma Li left. @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

Senior Brother He immediately flapped his wings to catch up, and Xue Chenjing waved his sleeves to put the lantern into the storage bag and followed.
