Quickly travel: The paranoid boss behind the Shura field has become sickly

Chapter 183: Put out lanterns, Kongming lanterns, and make a wish to grow old together【11】

An Ting and Situ Yue were walking on the night market streets in Kyoto. It was very lively with people coming and going, including acrobats, vendors shouting, and talented people and beauties playing lantern riddles.

An Ting glanced at the lantern riddle and then paused. Seeing this, Situ Yue immediately asked, "An An, do you want to play with this?"

"I'm just curious about a puzzle."

"which one?"

An Ting held Situ Yue's hand and walked through the crowd. He looked at a certain puzzle and asked Situ Yue beside him, "Beauty under the moon, what is the answer to this?"

While Situ Yue was thinking, the person who asked the question immediately said: "Two gentlemen, if you guess any of these five riddles, I will give you a lotus lantern as a reward for answering the question."

An Ting looked at the puzzle and thought about it. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of the answer. People on the side were also rushing to guess the question. After a while, An Ting looked at Situ Yue and asked, "Have you thought of the answer?"

Situ Yue shook his head, "Beauty under the moon, beauty under the moonlight..."

Suddenly, An Ting saw a little girl walking by carrying a flower basket. An idea flashed through him and he came up with the answer to the mystery.

He walked up to the person who asked the question, picked up a brush and wrote his answer on rice paper.

The person who asked the question took a look at the answer written by An Ting, and he immediately handed a lotus lantern to An Ting with a smile.

"Congratulations, sir, for answering the riddle correctly. This gift is for you."

"Thank you."

An Ting took the lotus lantern and Situ Yue walked out of the crowd and continued walking to the river.

"How did you come up with this idea?"

"I just saw a little girl selling flowers walking by, and I suddenly thought of Epiphyllum. Epiphyllum only blooms at night, and Epiphyllum is also known as the beauty among flowers, so I guessed the answer to this puzzle."

Situ Yue rubbed the back of An Ting's neck and praised loudly: "My An An is so smart, even smarter than me. It seems that I have to learn more from An An, otherwise I will become illiterate."

"Are you making fun of me?"

"No, I am sincerely praising you. With a lover as smart as you, how can I bear to be sarcastic."

……

An Ting and Situ Yue came to the river. Situ was more worried that An Ting would fall into the water, so he was not allowed to get too close to the river.

"I'll put the lanterns out, and you can just watch from the side so you don't fall into the water and catch a cold."

"I'm not a three-year-old child, you don't have to worry about me so much."

"I'm just so worried about you."

An Ting lit up dozens of lanterns, some in the shape of lotus flowers, some in the shape of red lanterns, and some in the shape of little rabbits.

An Ting lit the lanterns in the back, while Situ Yue helped put the lanterns in the front. The two cooperated with each other and finished putting out the lanterns in a short time.

An Ting stood on the shore and looked at the lanterns drifting away. He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and began to make a wish.

"What wish did you make?"

"If you don't say it, it won't be effective if you say it."

"If it's a simple wish, I can help you realize it. You don't have to make a wish to God."

"But I feel that maybe only God can help me with this wish."

Situ Yue was silent for a while, then he smiled and rubbed the back of An Ting's neck.

"I know what you wish for."

An Ting and Situ Yue looked at each other, and they were silent for a while. After a while, An Ting looked at the sky lanterns on the horizon and suggested: "Yue, do you want to put off the sky lanterns again?"

"If you want, I'll accompany you."

"Okay, then let's buy a Kongming lantern and write our wishes on it."

"Ah."

After the servants bought the Kongming lantern, An Ting and Situ Yue wrote in the blank space of the Kongming lantern together: The life and death agreement is broad, and they told Zi Cheng that they would hold his hand and grow old together with him.

After finishing writing, Situ Yue immediately lit the Kongming Lantern. Then, he and An Ting raised the Kongming Lantern high at the same time. With the evening breeze, the Kongming Lantern flew higher and higher, getting further and further away from them.

Situ Yue stood beside An Ting, looking up at the Kongming Lantern for a long time, then looked at An Ting and asked: "It's getting late, why don't we go back?"

An Ting nodded, "Okay."

Situ Yue held An Ting's hand and was about to walk to the carriage. Suddenly, Situ Yue saw a little girl selling candied haws. He immediately said to An Ting: "An An, wait for me here with your eyes closed. Don't do it." Open your eyes, I'll be back soon."

"what are you going to do?"

"Nothing, soon."

Although An Ting didn't know what Situ Yue was going to do, he knew that Situ Yue would not leave him alone on the street, so he obediently closed his eyes and waited patiently for Situ Yue to come back.

"An'an, open your eyes."

An Ting didn't expect Situ Yue to come back so soon. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Situ Yue standing in front of him with a cheerful face, holding two bunches of candied haws in his hand.

"Give it to you."

An Ting took the two bunches of candied haws on a stick from Situ Yue's hand. He looked at them carefully and said, "Do you think these candied haws are sweet or sour?"

"It's sweet to have you."

An Ting smiled and took a bite of the candied haws. The fruit inside was indeed sweet.

Situ Yue held An Ting's hand and took the remaining half of the candied haws that An Ting had just eaten into his mouth, not disapproving at all that it was what An Ting had eaten.

"Well, it's really sweet, and it tastes even sweeter with you."

"You seem like a crazy person now."

Situ Yue raised his eyebrows, "I will only be your idiot, my sickly beauty."

After saying that, Situ Yue hugged An Ting's waist and strode towards the direction of the carriage.

……

When the carriage stopped at the gate, An Ting had fallen asleep in Situ Yue's arms. In order not to disturb him, Situ Yue kept holding An Ting and sitting in the carriage. Fortunately, there was a quilt and a heater in the carriage. Situ Yue The more you don't have to worry about the cold coming to An Ting.

"Cough cough cough."

An Ting was woken up by coughing. He held his chest and sat upright uncomfortably. Before his consciousness was fully awake, he felt a teacup next to his mouth. He naturally opened his mouth and took a sip of warm water.

"Are you feeling better?"

An Ting glanced at Situ Yue and asked weakly: "Are you home?"

"We're here, but I was worried that I would wake you up, so I didn't get off the carriage."

"You should have called me. Your arms are sore from holding me in the carriage all the time, right?"

"It's okay. Are you still sleepy? Do you want to take a shower and then rest?"

"I want to take a shower before going to bed. I won't be able to sleep if I don't take a shower."

"Well, okay, I'll take you to the bath."

Situ Yue got down from the carriage with An Ting in his arms. Not long after they entered the gate, Situ Yue's secret guards killed the person who was secretly following them with a sword.

An Ting let Situ Yue carry him to the bath. The bath was very big, almost as big as An Ting's room in Gu's mansion. He and Situ Yue sat in the water leaning against the edge of the bath. The two of them were steamed by the heat. Face flushed.
