Chapter 492: The purpose of the wishing lantern
Perhaps she was infected by the atmosphere of this festival, Mu Yifei couldn't help but feel something in her heart when she looked at the old but happy smile on the old man's face.
He picked up his steps, walked to the old man's lantern stand, reached out and took the wishing lantern from the old man's hand.
The old man continued: "Girl, do you have a sweetheart?"
The old man's seemingly abrupt question made the smile on Mu Yifei's face freeze. She was stunned for a moment when she looked at the old man's smiling face.
Then, he smiled at the old man without hiding anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
When the old man saw her expression, the smile on his face grew wider. He pointed at the lantern in Mu Yifei's hand and continued:
"Haha, little girl, you write your sweetheart's name on this lantern and put it in the river in front. If there is a chance, your sweetheart will see your wishing lantern on the other side of the river.
You can be together forever from now on."
"Really?"
Mu Yifei looked at the old man with a hint of smile in her eyes and asked.
Although she knew that this was just a story made up by the old man to sell money, Mu Yifei was still willing to choose to believe such a story.
Even though she knew that her relationship with Qianye Yunxuan would be fruitless in this life, she still wanted to use this day and this way to tell Qianye Yunxuan that the man in her heart had long been replaced by him.
"Of course it's true. It doesn't hurt to give it a try, girl."
The old man answered with a smile.
"OK."
After taking the wishing lantern and paying for it, she carried it to the river, squatted down, and stared at the cool autumn lake, dazed.
Around her, many girls of her age were scrambling to write their sweethearts' names on lanterns, then put them into the water and watch them walk towards the other side of the river.
Seeing the nervous expressions of anticipation and longing on their faces, she couldn't help but become nervous along with them.
Reaching out to pick up the pen and ink on the big stone in front of her, she looked at the wishing lantern, but she didn't dare to put down her hand.
She was very conflicted in her heart. She was afraid of being seen by Qianye Yunxuan, but she was also looking forward to being seen by Qianye Yunxuan. She was also looking forward to the fable told by the old man being true.
She can really be with Qianye Yunxuan forever and ever.
Seeing the happy faces of the girls around her, her mood couldn't help but be infected by them.
He picked up the brush and wrote the name heavily on the lantern——
Chiba Yunxuan.
Watching the black ink seep into the oil paper, the name that made her heartbeat floated with the river, gradually drifting towards the other side of the river.
Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, even though she couldn't help but hope that Qianye Yunxuan would see her light in this vast sea of lights.
She stood by the river, quietly watching the light drifting further and further away. She thought of Qianye Yunxuan's firm black eyes again, and her eyes couldn't help but soften.
But that day, the coldness and unfamiliarity in the courtroom still made her smile freeze at the corner of her mouth.
"Sir, buy a wishing lamp. Write your sweetheart's name on the lamp, and you can grow old with her."
On the other side of the river, Qianye Yunxuan was also walking alone on the street. He never had much emotional involvement in this kind of day.
Nothing overly festive, nothing overly indifferent, everything is business as usual.
