QWTBWASIFOC Chapter 38
by VolareInside Wuzhou City.
Vendors lined the streets, and the crowds surged.
Beautiful lanterns were arranged on the stalls, staggered along the entire length of the street.
The hawkers’ cries rose and fell.
The handsome young man, following Lu Yunqi through the most prosperous part of the city, raised his eyes and saw a scene of earthly life, full of the scent of fireworks.
Children chased and played, their smiles pure.
Girls veiled their faces with light 虎, some accompanied by their sisters to the temple fair, others hand in hand with their husbands and children, admiring the exquisite lanterns.
Lu Yunqi took Gu Changli’s hand and led him to a pastry stall on the side of the street.
“Changli, see if there’s anything you’d like to eat?”
The young man lowered his eyes, looked at the various pastries displayed on the stall, and carefully chose two that he liked.
“These two will do, please wrap them up.”
The young man’s voice was clear, gentle, and refined, causing the pastry vendor to take another look at him.
“Alright, young master, please wait a moment.” The vendor skillfully wrapped up the two pastries that Changli wanted, and also gave Changli two other pastries as a gift.
“… These are for the young master to try something new.”
He had just seen this young master glance at the other two pastries a few more times, so he would treat it as a gift from him for today’s Lantern Festival.
Changli’s expression paused slightly as he felt the vendor’s kindness. The half-tied and half-draped hair fluttered in the wind, revealing a hint of helplessness between his brows.
“Then thank you very much, vendor.”
He took the box of pastries and said in a warm voice, “I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth.”
The vendor smiled upon hearing this, “Thank you for your kind words.”
Look, this young master not only looks good, but even speaks so pleasantly.
Changli looked at the vendor a few more times, and continued forward with that kindness.
At this time, he was more peaceful and docile, not as cold and lonely as usual. In addition, Lu Yunqi’s careful nurturing over the past few months had also added a bit of flesh to him, making him look like a little immortal in the eyes of the world.
Lu Yunqi was happy to see Changli happy.
He took Changli to visit all the interesting places in Wuzhou that he had already become familiar with.
As time passed, the sky darkened.
However, the streets were still bright, and various lanterns illuminated the dim streets, allowing the interested people to continue playing.
The usual curfew was also lifted today.
The once dark and silent streets were bustling and lively, with colorful lanterns reflecting each other.
Changli, who had been wandering for a long time, did not show any signs of fatigue. He was still carrying the rabbit lantern that Lu Yunqi had bought for him, and the frosty aura on his body had also been diluted by the noisy festival, bringing a bit of festive joy.
“Lu Yunqi, I like the Lantern Festival in Wuzhou.”
Changli, who had not received any warmth in the original owner’s memory, felt the most simple folk customs in the completely unfamiliar Wuzhou.
This feeling was not bad, he liked it very much.
Lu Yunqi stared intently at the very shallow tenderness on Changli’s face. At this time, the young man looked like a small snowflake melted by fire in his eyes.
A fleeting moment of beauty, so beautiful that it could not be described.
He put his arm around the young man’s shoulder in a carefree manner, and looked at the lanterns in the distance with a smile, “It’s good that you like it, we can come every year in the future.”
“I will always accompany you to celebrate the Lantern Festival.”
Changli tilted his head and looked at Lu Yunqi. The fiery red light shone on the young man’s face, making Changli look like a Demonic beauty walking out of the fire.
The corners of the young man’s eyes were slightly raised, and his ice-like eyes flowed with a soul-stirring charm, intentionally or unintentionally stirring Lu Yunqi’s heart.
“A gentleman’s word is as good as a bronze chariot.”
Lu Yunqi nodded blankly, but his eyes could not leave Changli for a moment, his brain buzzing, staring with wide eyes like a fool.
His heart was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest and rush into Changli’s arms, not caring about the feelings of its owner at all.
Why did he feel so happy?
Lu Yunqi, who was lost in thought, covered his heart and began to think about questions he had never thought about before, his expression as serious as if he was thinking about major life events.
Changli poked the rabbit lantern in his hand, and then looked at the lotus lanterns and peacock lanterns elsewhere.
Why are there no Phoenix lanterns here?
Oh, right, humans in this world have never really seen what a Phoenix looks like.
Perhaps next year he could make a Phoenix lantern himself to attract the people in the city to come and see, and he would also make a lion lantern to put next to it.
By the time the two were ready to return to the mansion, Lu Yunqi still hadn’t figured out why.
*
Changli, who was about to return to the mansion, pulled Lu Yunqi’s big hand and turned in the direction of the Lu mansion. On the way, they passed a stone bridge hung with red silk.
The blue-clothed girl who had just finished hanging the red silk raised her eyes and saw Changli walking slowly, and was immediately attracted to him, feeling that the God of Love had tied them together.
She straightened her hair and walked forward gracefully.
“Young master, this little girl Liu Yuyun is being polite, may I ask what your name is?”
Once she found out, she would ask her father to come and propose marriage, ensuring that she would not fail the God of Love’s red thread.
Changli calmly glanced at Liu Yuyun, and before he had time to refuse today’s share of romance, he was pulled behind him by Lu Yunqi beside him.
“???” What’s wrong with this idiot again?
Lu Yunqi glared fiercely at the rich lady from the Liu family in the west of the city, and asked in a cold voice, “What are you doing? Don’t you know you’ll scare people?”
Liu Yuyun put her hands on her hips and said angrily, “Lu Yunqi, when is it your turn to interfere in this lady’s affairs? Quickly hand over my future husband!”
She also recognized Lu Yunqi’s identity.
The nephew of Lord Lu, the governor of Wuzhou, who had left home five years ago to travel far away and disappeared, suddenly returned home last month, and he didn’t know what medicine he had taken.
Lu Yunqi, who was ridiculed in Liu Yuyun’s heart, gritted his back teeth and glared at the eldest Miss Liu, whose temperament was so fierce that she still couldn’t marry to this day.
“Liu Yuyun, stop talking nonsense!”
“Changli is my adopted brother, how would I not know when he became your fiancé!”
No, his heart felt blocked and he wanted to cry when he said the word “fiancé.”
Changli is not Liu Yuyun’s fiancé!!
Liu Yuyun chuckled, “Then you know now, hurry up and get out of the way, don’t disturb me and Young Master Changli from developing our relationship.”
So the beauty is called Changli, what a nice name.
Lu Yunqi felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and his mood was like a teacup that he had broken into Slag himself.
He didn’t retort, just frowned and worried.
Changli poked his head out from behind Lu Yunqi, and said in a soft but extremely decisive voice, “Thank you for your kindness, Miss Liu, but I have no intention of being with you. I hope you find another good match, we won’t bother you any longer.”
He dragged the absent-minded Lu Yunqi away from the stone bridge that seemed to have the meaning of seeking marriage.
Liu Yuyun sighed in place, “I failed again, when will my destined husband appear? The God of Love temple is about to be flattened by me, but this lady still can’t marry.”
Her requirements are not high, just a beauty is enough.
For example, the little beauty who just rejected her, that face is really too much to her liking!
Just looking at it, she can eat two more bowls of rice.
[…] System 143 listened with a black line on his head, and felt that the host was quite capable of attracting romance.
Men and women, a wide variety!
Speaking of the last world, there were so many men and women who dug Xie Chi’s corner, if Xie Chi’s ability to catch mistresses was not strong enough and Gu Changli only loved Xie Chi, the beautiful host could change partners every day without repeating.
Tsk tsk tsk, he is indeed the host he chose.
