Chapter 63 Accompanying you to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance
"Xichen, is it cold?"
Phantom asked with concern.
"Uh-huh……"
Xue Xichen suddenly came back to her senses, forced a smile, and replied: "It's not cold."
She said it was not cold, but she unconsciously rubbed her arms. Although it was not the depth of winter, it was still a bit chilly with the cold wind blowing on the lake in the middle of the night.
Noticing Xue Xichen's little movements, Phantom stood up, took out a black cloak from the small box on the bow, and put it on her.
"Thanks!"
Xue Xichen put on a cloak, which instantly shielded her from the deep autumn cold. It warmed her body and was very comfortable.
Phantom took out two copper coins from his arms, played with his fingertips, lay on his back on the boat, put his head behind his head with one hand, and played with the coins with the other.
Xue Xichen tilted her head to look at Phantom, wondering why he was so leisurely playing with coins.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind passed by my ears.
Immediately afterwards, a lantern lit up above her head, with a beautiful pattern and the same shape as the lantern given to her by the Phantom just now.
Then there were several more sounds of breaking wind, and lanterns kept lighting up on the branches overhead. Only then did Xue Xichen notice that the two copper coins in the Phantom's hands hit each other and created small sparks. The sparks flew past and flew towards a hanging overhead
A lantern, a spark lights the wick inside, and it shines like starlight in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of lanterns were lit above and beside the head, with beautiful patterns. The lights reflected warmly into the center of the lake, illuminating the area around the boat translucently, like jade, emitting a warm halo.
The lights reflected on the water surface, swaying gently with the water waves.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
"Like it?"
"Yeah! I like it very much!"
"Xichen, look there."
"Um?"
Following the gaze of the phantom, Xue Xichen saw a small light appearing in the water reflected by the halo. The light blue glistening light was different from the halo of yellow reflected by the lantern on the water, as if it was alive.
Little by little gather in the water and swim little by little.
Soon, there were more and more lights swimming in the water, reflecting the lake like fluorescent blue jade. A faint blue light seeped out of the water, like smoke and fog, making people feel as if they were immersed in a dream.
"Huh?"
Xue Xichen looked strange and couldn't help but lie down on the edge of the boat and look carefully into the water.
She found that many small fishes gathered around the lantern's projection. Their bodies were completely transparent. If it weren't for the light, their existence would be almost impossible to detect.
And that little bit of blue light actually comes from the belly of the fish.
Xue Xichen had never seen such a fish before and couldn't help but reach out to catch it.
Phantom pressed against her from behind, held her hand, and stopped her, "They will die if they get out of the water."
Xue Xichen turned around and glanced at Phantom, retracted her hand, lay on the edge of the boat, and continued to watch the little fish swimming playfully, but no longer reached out to catch it.
"what fish is this?"
she asked curiously.
"Little Blue Ying."
"Little Lan Ying?"
Why doesn't it sound like a fish's name?
Xue Xichen was confused.
Phantom smiled and explained, "Little Blue Ying is the name I gave them."
So that’s it…
Xue Xichen lay on the edge of the boat and looked at the fluorescent lights in the water. They really looked like fireflies sinking in the water. She couldn't help but said: "Since they can glow like fireflies, then I will
Call them glowfish."
Firefish?
Phantom's eyebrows twitched.
This name is really weird, but seeing Xue Xichen so happy, it's hard for him to object. In fact, as long as she is happy, he will obey her no matter what she asks him to do. Even Phantom is wondering when he has feelings for Xue Xichen.
It's already so deep.
"This place is so beautiful..."
Phantom smiled, let go of Xue Xichen, lay down with her hands behind her head, tilted her head and looked at her profile, her eyes dark, "Xichen, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you."
Mid-Autumn Festival?!
Xue Xichen was startled and suddenly remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be in a few days. No wonder the Phantom suddenly gave her a lantern and even took her on a night boating trip. Could it be...
"Ying, you want to leave?"
"Military rations were stolen... Your Majesty ordered me to investigate... I will set off tomorrow..."
"Military rations stolen?!"
Xue Xichen was shocked, the smile on her face disappeared, and she lay down next to Phantom.
The boat was very narrow, so she lay down, and the two people crowded the boat. Xue Xichen could only rest her head on Phantom's bent arm, looking at the lantern hanging above her head, and remained silent for a long time before asking: "
If you leave this time, when will you be able to come back?"
"I don't know...if things go well, maybe it will only take half a month...or maybe..."
He fell silent.
From the tone of Phantom, it seems that this matter is very difficult and it may be difficult to solve it smoothly.
Xue Xichen was silent. She looked sideways at Phantom's perfectly curved profile, and said with stern eyes: "Ying, thank you! Thank you for sending me the lantern, thank you for sending me the Mid-Autumn Festival gift! Shadow, I wish you the best all the way.
Shunfeng! I'll wait for your return at Xiaoyao Building!"
"Xichen..."
The Phantom looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly took his hand out from behind his head, put it around her shoulders, turned sideways, and took her into his arms. His lips were pressed against her temples, and he whispered in her ear.
He said softly: "Xichen, thank you..."
Thank you for being willing to wait for me and making me feel at home for the first time...
Xue Xichen quietly raised her head and looked at Phantom's shining eyes as deep as ink, crystal clear as beads, shining with the brilliance of the moon, like condensed water, with a layer of light blue, flickering bright and dark.
, it was like a dream, making her unable to see reality.
Hugging him face to face, so ambiguous, so intimate.
Being hugged tightly by his strong arms and nestled quietly in his arms, my heart that was empty and floating unexpectedly felt enriched for a moment. It was like a heart that was floating in the wind and suddenly found a place to rest.
Xue Xichen couldn't help but ask herself, if she had never fallen in love with Feng Qingge, would she have fallen in love with Phantom?
The phantom hugged her, and she could clearly feel her heartbeat on her chest. Her heartbeat was steady and strong, but after she felt his closeness, it suddenly became faster, more urgent, and more sudden, "chugging, chugging" like a little rabbit.
.
Xichen...it turns out that she is not careless about him...
"Xichen... it would be nice to accompany me tonight..."
"it's here?"
"I'll hold you in my arms so you won't get cold."
Xue Xichen smiled, snuggled in his arms, leaned on his body, and slept comfortably, smelling the good smell of his body, feeling warm in her heart, and gently closed her eyes.
"good……"
Tonight, I only belong to you...
Phantom quietly looked at the smile on Xue Xichen's lips, turned sideways, and slowly moved closer to her, gently pressing her lips on the smile lines at the corners of her mouth.
Xue Xichen's long eyelashes trembled slightly but did not dodge.
Ying, no matter how long it takes to wait! I will always be waiting for you at Xiaoyao Building! So, you must come back safely!
