28, Festival(1/2)
He was stunned for a moment after seeing this scene.
"You did it?"
"Yes, so what? Living in your house, I can still do this!"
Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Nimfu simply admitted it openly.
"Thank you for your hard work... This location is very suitable. The wind from the window can blow directly here, and it is not hot at all at night."
"Yeah..."
Nimfu thought to herself that this guy didn't block the road on purpose, but just to blow the wind?
"Speaking of which, will your artificial angels get hot?" Lu Ye asked.
"Yes, but it's not a big problem. Our bodies have adjustment mechanisms and can work in extreme environments."
"Oh, that's good... Anyway, thank you."
With that said, Luye patted Nimfu's shoulder, then got into bed and fell asleep.
Sure enough, one of the most beautiful moments of the day is the moment you climb into bed at night and get under the quilt.
After Nimfu stood for a while, she couldn't help but speak.
"Why are you saying thank you...?"
"Because you helped me lay the floor... isn't it common sense to say thank you to others when they help me?" Lu Ye said.
"But is it necessary? It's obviously just a trivial matter... but not to that extent?"
"Then to what extent can I say thank you?" Lu Ye said.
"Will you also help others?" Nimfu asked.
"Well, sometimes, occasionally, maybe...for example, I'm looking for someone right now."
"Who?"
"A person named Sakurai Tomoki is also studying in that middle school. Do you know him?"
"How could I possibly know him?" Nimfu asked, "Why are you looking for him?"
"Because he disappeared, probably for almost two weeks..."
"You know him?"
"I don't know him, but his childhood sweetheart Chu Yuan is very worried about him... Speaking of which, you know, sometimes I help others, not just because of kindness or something like that, but because I hope that one day when I encounter difficulties, others
He will also come and give me a hand..."
Nimfu fell silent after hearing this.
Until midnight, the only light in the living room was the TV.
The lights in the room inside were still on. Needless to say, Carlos Yin and Violet were still studying how to make the food.
Nimfu pressed the remote control and turned off the TV, then quietly got off the sofa and came to the junction of the living room and the entrance.
Looking at Lu Ye's sleeping face, Nimfu took a deep breath, and then just like last night, she took steps and stepped over his face.
The moonlight in the town is endless.
Nimfu was flying high in the sky, unable to calm down for a long time.
Lu Ye's words touched her.
Sometimes helping others is not purely because of so-called kindness and sympathy, but because of the hope that one day one can also get help from others.
The moon seemed to be within reach, the school on the other side of the town came into view, and the swimming pool behind the playground was sparkling.
What...
Nimfu looked slightly unwilling.
If this is really the case, the one who should thank me is actually me...
…
The next afternoon.
On the way home from school, the town was particularly lively.
Because the festival will be held in the evening, the residents of the town are actively preparing for it.
But in fact, the preparations started a week ago. For example, the purchase of fireworks and the layout of the venue are all ready. Today's day's work is just to assemble these things.
"It's so lively." Violet said as she looked at the people passing by.
"It is a festival after all." Lu Ye said, "Festivals are inherently lively."
"But it will be held in the evening..." Esdeath said, "Let's go to the street to buy some ingredients and make dinner by the way..."
"There's no need for this."
"Why?"
"After all, it's a festival, and there will be a lot of delicious food on sale." Lu Ye said, "You will be full after just walking around."
…
In the evening.
The temperature has dropped a lot, and the wind in the evening is comfortable and pleasant.
As the sun sets, the summer festival of Korami Town begins.
The festival venue is not far outside the town, close to the huge cherry tree of the shrine. The venue is large and very lively. Various vendors line up a long street on both sides of the road. Above the street, there are also
Just on both sides of the building
A string was also pulled up, with bright lanterns hanging on it. People came and went. Many women were wearing yukata, holding marshmallows or octopus balls in their hands. Small fans were inserted into the buckles of their yukata, forming a line.
Beautiful scenery.
Wiping the sauce from the octopus balls from the corners of her mouth with a paper towel, Esdeath touched her slightly swollen belly.
It seems that what Lu Ye said is indeed right. The problem of dinner will be solved by going around this festival.
Esdeath felt that with how full she was now, she wouldn't need any late-night snacks even if she stayed up all night.
Violet, Nimfu and Carlos Yin also each held a candy apple in their hands.
But Carlos Yin was the only one who didn't eat it. She seemed to like round things, and she even tried to touch the candy apples. She seemed to want to plate the candy apples like watermelon, but she gave up after she found that it was sticky and difficult to handle.
.,
Lu Ye was deeply impressed by this kind of candy.
In his memory, the uncle at the gate of the primary school would appear on time at the school gate every time, holding a long stick with many straw ropes inserted into it.
The candied haws are brightly colored, and there are also candied apples like the ones Violet is holding in her hand. They also have a crispy sugar coating on the outside, and a plump green apple on the inside.
But Lu Ye preferred candied haws on a stick, because at that time a candied apple cost 2.5 yuan, and the candied haws on a stick was 50 cents cheaper.
This means that the remaining five cents can be used to buy toys or other snacks.
Violet licked the candy apple in her hand and walked around the festival venue.
At the right time, bright fireworks burst out in the night sky, attracting people to stop and watch. After all, there are not many days when fireworks are set off in Japan.
It was obviously her first time to attend the festival, but she felt very familiar.
She remembered that there was an event like this when she came to the port.
Lively scenes, lively people, and fleeting fireworks in the night.
She still remembered that there, Lu Ye bought her a pair of rings she chose and put them on for her personally.
Although the ring was not brought back to the main world in the end, the meaning and memory they brought were more important to Violet than the pair of rings themselves. It was the first official gift she had received in her life.
The gift is a precious memory that will never be forgotten in a lifetime.
Since you are participating in the festival, in addition to eating, you can't miss out on fun activities as well.
Esdeath found something interesting at a stall not far ahead.
And Nimfu stopped in front of a small stall.
Unlike the food stalls, there is only a small plastic water tank with many small goldfish swimming in it.
"Are you interested in this?" Lu Ye asked.
He has seen it in some comics or Japanese dramas,
Goldfish fishing, a traditional game at Japanese summer festivals and temple fairs.
However, this activity actually originated in the Tang Dynasty and was later introduced to Japan, where it has always been deeply loved by the Japanese people.
In Japan, the history of fishing for goldfish can be traced back to the early 19th century, but it continues to this day.
Looking back at the place where this activity originated, it has not been well preserved.
And not just this one, there are many moving, interesting, and worthy of promotion activities and culture that have either been forgotten in the corners of history, or have been shamelessly stolen by people from certain countries, and then said that
