Along the long street, exquisite and beautiful lanterns can be seen everywhere.
However, Chi Yan felt regretful because the beautiful lanterns could only be won by solving riddles, which touched on his blind spot in knowledge.
I originally wanted to show off in front of Shen Tangning.
Shen Tangning studied his expression and coughed lightly: "Which one do you fancy? I'll help you win it."
Chi Yan slowly raised his eyes: ?
Wait a minute, shouldn't that be one of his lines?
Never mind, might as well take it.
Chi Yan selected a lantern, and Shen Tangning walked forward with a calm expression. A crowd had already gathered in front of the stall, all eyeing that lantern.
However, no one has solved it yet, which shows that this problem is not easy.
The shopkeeper smiled and looked at Shen Tangning: "Would Madam also like to play a riddle?"
Shen Tangning nodded slightly.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Please listen to the questions. The first question is: What character is associated with the Lantern Festival?"
While Chi Yan was still reading the question carefully, Shen Tangning had already given the answer without hesitation: "The End".
He thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that the question was not difficult, but it would take a normal person a little thought, while she answered it fluently.
The earlier questions are generally easy, but they become increasingly difficult as you progress.
"Rat head, tiger tail, guess a character."
"Son."
"The wedding date is set after the Lantern Festival. Guess the Chinese idiom."
"Overjoyed."
...
For the last two questions, Shen Tangning pondered for a long time before giving her answers.
Everyone watching was dumbfounded; the speed at which the riddle was solved was simply too fast.
The shopkeeper smiled and congratulated her, then took down the lantern and gave it to Shen Tangning: "Congratulations, Madam, on guessing all the riddles. This lantern is yours."
Shen Tangning took the lantern, examined it for a moment, then turned and handed it to Chi Yan: "Here, we won it back."
In an instant, all sorts of complex gazes fell upon Chi Yan, mostly conveying the same message:
No, normally it's the men who win the lanterns for the women, how can there be someone who just sits back and enjoys the fruits of others' labor!
Do you think this is acceptable?
"Thank you for your hard work, Madam. You won in such a short time. That's amazing!" Chi Yan accepted the gift without any shame. These people were just jealous of him.
They want it, but no one has given it to them yet!
The expressions on the faces of the onlookers were quite varied.
Shen Tangning turned her face away reservedly; he was quite good at talking.
...
The two strolled along, and Shen Tangning was surprisingly in a good mood. Seeing people releasing lanterns by the river, she looked at Chi Yan and said, "Shall we release some lanterns too?"
Chi Yan had no objections: "Okay."
She paused, then asked tentatively, "Don't you find doing all this pointless?"
Chi Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Why do you say that? Whether it's interesting or not depends on who you're with."
Shen Tangning was taken aback. He suddenly realized something and guiltily scratched the back of his head, looking like he was trying to cover something up: "You, you don't misunderstand, I meant with Ba Liang, hey, where did that kid Ba Liang go?!"
Eight-Liang, who was squatting in the corner gnawing on a roast chicken: "..."
It's kind of you to still remember me.
Shen Tangning stared intently at Chi Yan, a smile playing on her lips: "Chi Yan, I'm very happy today."
Happy Lunar New Year's Eve.
