"I want this for twenty yuan." Miao Jian said, pointing to the dragon and phoenix dragon and phoenix.
The uncle picked up a Kongming lantern and said, "How many do you want, little sister? How about two? It would be great for you and your boyfriend to play together." The uncle looked at Shao Xinghan with a smile on his face.
He has been selling Kongming lanterns here for a long time, and many couples have bought Kongming lanterns from him. When he saw Shao Xinghan and Miao Jian walking over, he was already not surprised.
Shao Xinghan stood behind, watching Miao Jian pick up the Kongming Lantern. Shao Xinghan raised his eyes and met his uncle's eyes. The uncle smiled, his eyes clear.
Shao Xinghan's Adam's apple slid inadvertently, his eyes were calm, and he lowered his eyes again, looking at the top of Miao Jian's head.
"Ah? Hahaha..." Miao Jian was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and turned around with some embarrassment: "How many should I buy?"
Her move was very much like an intimate gesture between a couple. The uncle was a discerning person. He looked at her with enthusiasm and smiled. He took the opportunity to say, "As long as the two of us live a good life, one or the other will be fine."
Shao Xinghan's eyes met with Miao Jian's, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes drifted away without trace.
"Let's see how many Miaomiao wants to buy." His voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes seemed to dodge unnoticed.
Miao Jian blinked and looked at him with wide eyes. Shao Xinghan's heart tightened when she saw him, and his Adam's apple slipped again inadvertently.
"Buy two." Miao Jian turned her head and stopped looking at him, and said to her uncle with a smile.
"Okay." The uncle bent down, picked up two of them, and handed them to Miao Jian's hand.
Shao Xinghan didn't bring any cash. He took out his mobile phone and looked at his uncle: "Is there a QR code?"
His voice was brighter than before, full of youthfulness.
The uncle searched among the pile of Kongming lanterns and gadgets nearby and took out a WeChat QR code.
"I have cash here, no need to scan the QR code." Miao Jian had already taken out the money from her pocket. She took out a hundred and handed it to the uncle.
The uncle was about to reach out to pick it up, but he found that it was a hundred. He was afraid that he would not have enough change to make change. At the same time, he was also a sharp-eyed person, so he accidentally glanced at the man in front of him. His face had no expression and his eyes were light.
, his eyes wandered for a moment on the hundred-dollar bill held in Miao Jian's hand, and then he continued to lower his head and look at his mobile phone.
"Uncle, I'll give you the money, just give me the change." Miao Jian handed the money out but no one took it, so she added.
The uncle smiled and said: "I accept transfers all year round. I don't have that much change to give you change. This handsome guy can just transfer the money." He smiled at them.
Miao Jian looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that this uncle had a very strong desire to survive.
"Okay." Shao Xinghan, who had been bored all the time, showed his cell phone to his uncle, his eyes were dull and showed no emotion.
The uncle smiled even wider: "Look, it's so convenient to transfer money so quickly, hahaha, little sister, your boyfriend is very good to you."
Miao Jian froze for a moment, took back the money and stuffed it into her bag, her face felt a little hot for no reason.
It was not Miao Jian who was smiling with her mouth closed, nor was she not smiling. This was a different feeling to the uncle. This was a common behavior of young girls when they were in love, half-smiling but not smiling, wanting to refuse but then welcoming.
Shao Xinghan put his arm around Miao Jian's shoulders and said, "Let's go."
Miao Jian was suddenly surrounded by him and walked forward. She was stunned. When she turned around, she turned back and smiled at her uncle: "Goodbye, uncle."
The uncle was also confused by Shao Xinghan's sudden action. Before he could react, he saw Miao Jian smiling at him. He suddenly came to his senses and grinned as well: "Little sister, walk slowly.
"And waved his hand.
Miao Jian followed Shao Xinghan's steps towards the lantern, and the bright lights illuminated Miao Jian's face. Miao Jian raised her head and looked at Shao Xinghan's profile and his outline.
It has sharp edges and corners, running from the temples to the chin. The strong lines bring out a bit of youthful softness, and the profile of the face is mature and full of youthfulness.
Miao Jian's eyes moved upward and landed on Shao Xinghan's ears. His ears were small and the fleshy earlobes looked very full. They turned a little red under the bright and colorful lights.
Miao Jian stared at his ears several times, always feeling that his ears were not red due to the light, but the ears themselves were red.
Miao Jian glanced at the tourists passing by and stared at their ears.
Normal skin color, except for being a little shiny under the light, does not have a faint dark red color.
Miao Jian suddenly had the answer in her heart. She leaned against Shao Xinghan and raised her head to look at the colorful lanterns.
The uncle was right. She and Shao Xinghan looked like lovers when they were so close. Besides, she and Shao Xinghan were almost the same.
Miao Jian counted her fingers in her mind. She and Shao Xinghan had held hands, kissed, and confessed (even though it failed). They had done all these things between lovers, didn't they still count?
If we want to talk about more, she and Shao Xinghan slept in the same bed. Of course, that was when they were children, and Miao Jian had almost forgotten it.
Shao Xinghan noticed that Miao Jian had been staring at him, and he turned his head: "What's wrong?"
Miao Jian shook his head: "The lanterns are beautiful."
Shao Xinghan did not doubt that he was there, and he and Miao Jian continued to enjoy the lanterns.
The two finished watching the lanterns and walked from one end to the other. Behind the lanterns was a large square. Walking through the alley of the lanterns, the narrow field of vision suddenly became a lot more empty. Miao Jian looked around and saw this
There is a fountain in the middle of the square, and some flowers and plants are planted around it. When you raise your head, the stars in the sky are reflected in your eyelids.
This place is very suitable for placing Kongming lanterns.
Miao Jian held the Kongming lantern and some tools in her hand, and let go of Shao Xinghan's hand: "Let's put the lantern here."
"Hold that Kongming Lantern for me." Shao Xinghan stretched out his hand.
Miao Jian was stunned: "Brother, won't you let me go?"
"I'll just watch you release it." Shao Xinghan took the Kongming Lantern from Miao Jian's hand.
Miao Jian picked up the Kongming Lantern and lit the wick with a lighter.
The 20-yuan Kongming lantern had some quality issues. The Kongming lanterns that Miao Jian used to put up were all bought by Shao Xinghan for her. She didn’t know which one was better, so she just bought the most expensive one, but found that the quality was also poor.
Not so good.
The paper was flat. It finally stood up, but when the wind blew, it blew sideways again. Miao Jian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and she couldn't help but let out an "ouch".
Shao Xinghan looked at her: "I'll hold it, you can just light it."
Miao Jian's slightly frowning brows relaxed. The Kongming lantern was dragged by Shao Xinghan, and she lowered her head to light the wick.
After lighting it for a while, it didn't light up. Miao Jian was a little frustrated: "What kind of material is this wick made of? How can I light it otherwise?" Miao Jian waved his hand impatiently and kept it raised in the air, and his hand was sore.
