Because I had to continue working the next day, even though the entire crew gathered together to have a meal, I was very conscious of not drinking.

It was almost eight o'clock when everyone was separated.

There is a custom of holding Mid-Autumn Festival activities in City K. The Mid-Autumn Festival lantern riddles conference is just around the hotel. The downstairs of the hotel are noisy and very lively.

The crew members went to play at the entrance of the hotel, in groups of three or two, and each went to play.

Of course, several young actors with Ning Zhou had a good relationship with Ning Zhou at this time. They were not blind. Since Ning Zhou and Jiang Hangting appeared in front of them at noon, the two of them were like conjoined babies, and they had never seen them separate.

The moonlight tonight is already bright enough, so there is no need for these light bulbs to shine and heat up again.

However, Wang Yiqing pulled Jiang Hangting aside and warned Jiang Hangting: "I know you and Ning Zhou's separation will be better than the newlyweds tonight, but please be more at ease. He will have to film a movie tomorrow, so I won't ask for leave here."

"Am I that kind of person?" Jiang Hangting glanced at Wang Yiqing.

Wang Yiqing: "Haha."

Wang Yiqing: "Whoever is sluts knows."

Jiang Hangting: “…”

Wang Yiqing waved his hand in disgust, "Hurry up and go shopping with Ning Zhou, I won't be a light bulb."

Jiang Hangting walked simply, turned around and walked to Ning Zhou, and left with Ning Zhou with his fingers connected.

Wang Yiqing felt sour when he saw it. Tsk, this dog food is crispy.

The moonlight tonight is very bright, round like a white jade plate hanging in the sky, and the silver light scattered spread all over the ground.

There were noisy people around, and Jiang Hangting and Ning Zhou walked in the crowd like ordinary couples.

The streets were covered with paper notes of riddles, and there were several people in front of each note, either meditating or taking out their cell phones to find the answers to the riddles, which was noisy and full of fireworks.

The prizes for riddles are very simple, such as soap and toothpaste, and other small items. People gather together not just for the prize, but just to make up for the fun of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Giant lanterns in the shape of jade rabbit stand in the middle of the road, looking up at the moon in the sky. In addition to the colorful lights that challenge aesthetics, they are also lifelike.

Ning Zhou was stunned for a moment when he looked at the Jade Rabbit Lantern, and the long-standing vague memories suddenly became clear.

How old was he that year?

Seven or eight years old? Anyway, it's still very young.

But that day was not the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the Lantern Festival. His father, Mr. Ning Changxiong, finally squeezed out time to take him to the Lantern Festival with Zhang Yao on the night of the Lantern Festival.

That day, people were coming and going like today. Ning Zhou, who was like a little bean sprout, sat on Ning Changxiong's shoulders, happily asking about the shape of the roadside lanterns, and Ning Changxiong patiently answered him.

There is a stall selling small lanterns in the lantern festival, and Xiao Ningzhou clamored to buy a small lantern.

At that time, Ning Changxiong should still be willing to spoil his son and asked Zhang Yao to pay for Ning Zhou to buy a rabbit lantern.

The rabbit lantern is made vividly, with a switch on the lamp stick. After pressing the switch, the rabbit lantern will not only flash colorful lights but also sing.

Xiao Ningzhou likes this lantern very much because he belongs to the little rabbit.

At that time, Xiao Ningzhou was very happy and felt that the Lantern Festival, where his parents were around, was the happiest Lantern Festival.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Ning Changxiong's subordinates called Ning Changxiong and said that the company had an urgent matter and asked Ning Changxiong to go back to deal with it. Ning Changxiong had to hand over Xiao Ningzhou to Zhang Yao and left hurriedly.

Xiao Ningzhou felt a little disappointed, but when he thought that his mother was still by his side, he held his mother's hand tightly and jumped and continued to move forward.

The incident happened at this moment.

A man ran into the back, and Xiao Ningzhou staggered, but his hand was not firmly held, and the lantern fell to the ground. He had to let go of Zhang Yao's hand and pick up the lantern that fell on the ground.

This is what my father bought for him. It has been a long time since my father bought him toys, so he must cherish it.

Xiao Ning picked up the lantern with precious land and looked up to show off to her mother, but she didn't see Zhang Yao.

At that moment, Xiao Ningzhou panicked.

He stood there, holding the rabbit lantern in his hand, at a loss.

All around were strangers, and the shadows projected on him were like giant beasts with teeth and claws, as if they would open their bloody mouths in the next second and swallow him into their stomachs.

Xiao Ningzhou was frightened and anxious. He stood there and didn't dare to move, thinking that his mother would come to him soon.

But time passed by minute by minute, and more and more adults came to ask Xiao Ningzhou, but Zhang Yao was not there.

Xiao Ningzhou held the lantern tightly with his hands, pursed his lips and said nothing, and tears were in his eyes for a long time but he didn't dare to fall.

The police came, and Xiao Ningzhou finally couldn't help crying when he saw the familiar uniform.

The police wanted to take Xiao Ningzhou away, but Xiao Ningzhou stood stubbornly and said thrustly: "I won't leave...my mother...my mother will come back to find me..."

The teacher said that if you get lost with your parents, stand there and don’t move, don’t talk to any strangers, and don’t leave with strangers. Your parents will come back to find him soon.

But he has been standing here for a long time, why didn’t his mother come to him? Does his mother want him anymore?

The night was getting darker and deeper. In order to appease Xiao Ningzhou's emotions, the police did not force Xiao Ningzhou away. They tried to ask for more information from Ningzhou's mouth, and finally contacted Ning Changxiong.

When Ning Changxiong learned about it, he hurriedly put down his work and called Zhang Yao.

On the phone, Zhang Yao said anxiously and blamed herself, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't answer the phone. If I don't answer the phone, I can watch Zhouzhou."

Ning Changxiong was upset, "Enough, now go and take Zhouzhou back with me."

More than ten minutes later, Ning Changxiong and Zhang Yao rushed to the Lantern Festival neighborhood.

Ning Changxiong saw that Ning Zhou, who was standing next to the police, did not feel a sense of glory as he had lost it, but was very angry. The angry little Ning Zhou ran around and caused him trouble.

He walked up quickly, noticing Ning Zhou's surprise look when he looked at him, and slapped Xiao Ning Zhou in the hand with a heavy slap, "I'll let you run around! What should I do if I lose my run?"

Xiao Ningzhou felt pain, and the lanterns in his hand flew out.

The quality of the little rabbit lantern was not very good, and it immediately fell apart after it hit the ground heavily.

The small objects that can sing are not broken yet, and they still play pleasant music, but the little rabbit is already split.

Xiao Ningzhou stared at the little rabbit who was separated in a daze, but he didn't cry, but tears couldn't stop gushing out of his eyes.

The next second, Zhang Yao rushed over and carried Xiao Ningzhou into her arms, crying and tears, "It's good that Zhouzhou is fine, what should you do if something happens to you, mom!"

After returning to his mother's arms, Xiao Ningzhou was not happy at all.

He said to himself, "Mom, I've always been here, why don't you come back to find me?"

"Ah, sorry."

Someone bumped into Ning Zhou and pulled Ning Zhou's thoughts back.

He said to the man, "It's okay."

However, the next second he froze because Jiang Hangting was no longer in his sight.

The distant panic once again invaded Ning Zhou's heart. Although Jianzhi told him that Jiang Hangting would not leave him alone, the shadow buried deep in his heart turned into a bone-attached cervix and tightly wrapped around Ning Zhou.

His hand couldn't help but clenched, and he opened his mouth to call someone, but he seemed to have lost his voice and could not call out anything.

Sweat beads precipitated on the forehead, and when the cold wind blows, the coolness will penetrate into the skin.

At that moment, Ning Zhou seemed to have returned to the bustling neighborhood. There were people coming and going, and everyone had laughter and joy on his face, and only he was abandoned.

"What's wrong?"

A familiar voice sounded in Ning Zhou's ears, and Ning Zhou turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

Jiang Hangting stood there, looking at him with a worried look on his face.

Ning Zhou's mind was blank. He didn't care about where this place was or how many people were around him. He rushed over and hugged Jiang Hangting.

It was very tight, as if it was about to inlaid himself into Jiang Hangting's body, so that he would not have to separate from Jiang Hangting.

Feeling the strong uneasiness coming from Ning Zhou, Jiang Hangting was a little panicked and replied to Ning Zhou, "Zhouzhou, I'm here, I'm here, I've never gone anywhere."

It took a long time for the people in their arms to react.

"Mr. Jiang, where did you go just now?" He buried his face in Jiang Hangting's chest, making his voice look dull and a little hoarse.

Jiang Hangting: "I saw this and found it very cute and suitable for you, so I went to buy it."

Jiang Hangting said as he raised one hand and pressed the switch on the lamp rod.

The sound of light music sounded, and Ning Zhou raised his head from Jiang Hangting's chest and looked at Jiang Hangting's hand holding something.

The colorful flashing lights shone on Ning Zhou's face, and tears flashed slightly from the corners of his eyes.

This is a lantern in the shape of a jade rabbit, which is much more refined than the little rabbit in Ning Zhou's memory. What remains unchanged is the gaudy colorful lights and cheerful music.

Ning Zhou smiled and complained: "It's so ugly."

But he unconsciously reached out and took the lantern and held it tightly in his hand.

Jiang Hangting lowered his head and kissed Ning Zhou on the forehead. Although he didn't know why the child had such a big reaction just now, it was indeed his fault that he left without saying anything to Ning Zhou.

Jiang Hangting apologized softly: "I'm sorry, will I tell you wherever I go in the future?"

He might be able to guess why Ning Zhou's sleeping posture was so extremely insecure.

Deep in Ning Zhou's heart, there is a very deep scar that time cannot heal.

Ning Zhou felt a little embarrassed. He had been here alone for so many years, but today he was emotionally out of control because he didn't see Jiang Hangting for a short time.

He held the Jade Rabbit Lantern in one hand, and was held tightly by Jiang Hangting in the other hand. He looked down at the ground, allowing Jiang Hangting to lead him forward.
