C30 Lantern Festival

All along the way, Li Su was upset with herself for doing such a strange thing, as if she was possessed! However, things had already happened, so she couldn't retreat and start over. She could only brace herself and continue forward.

"Where are you going, dressed like this?"

Li Su was shocked by the sudden voice, "Ah, you scared me!" When he came back to his senses, he noticed that it was his older brother. His face darkened as he said, "I … I'm just going to take a walk, it's not appropriate to be a woman after all."

"Really?"

Li Su knew that she could not deceive her brother, but she would not take the initiative to loosen her mouth. "What else do you think?" Without waiting for her brother to speak, Li Su pretended to be sleepy and said, "Bro, it's not like I'm going to do anything. Don't treat me like a child!"

His sister had grown up, and he couldn't help but call her brother. Li Yang remembered that when he was young, Li Su would always follow behind his butt. No matter what he did, Li Su would always call him "brother" in her childish voice.

Now that he had only asked a few more questions, Li Su told him to stop treating her as a child.

"Bro, Yan Zijun said to invite you to the Lantern Festival in two days." Li Su suddenly opened her mouth to break Li Yang's sadness.

"You went to find Yan Zijun?"

Li Su only yawned and said, "Bro, I'm sleepy."

Li Su was no longer the younger sister who loved to follow him around when he was young. Li Yang gritted his teeth. Even though he was quite satisfied with Yan Zijun, this did not mean that he would be willing to have his younger sister fall in love with him.

Before the Flower Lantern Festival, Li Yang had always been brooding over Yan Zijun, to the point that during several military informational meetings, he had always been radiating malice towards Yan Zijun.

Yan Zijun did not know what he meant, "General Li has other brilliant ideas."

Li Yang replied in a strong tone, "No."

However, that expression clearly showed that there was something on his face!

Perhaps Li Yang was just worried about his reputation in front of everyone, so Yan Zijun picked one time when the two of them were alone to ask, "General Li seems to have a grudge against me these past few days?"

Li Yang had wanted to ask this question three times, but he swallowed it back at the tip of his tongue and shook his head.

Now that Yan Zijun and Li Yang were on the same side, it would be taboo for them to get into a disagreement.

"General Li, feel free to speak."

Li Yang then sighed, "Do you like my sister?"

Yan Zijun was stunned for a moment. Li Yang, seeing that he did not have a scientific answer, felt a little dissatisfied, "If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You're too slow."

Yan Zijun smiled gently, "I'm not that fond of her, but I find her interesting."

Li Yang couldn't stand people saying that his sister was interesting, so he immediately became gloomy, "My sister is not!" Li Yang had already reinvestigated about Yan Zijun's character. He was popular among the ladies in the city because of his looks, hence Li Yang was sure that Yan Zijun's character was extravagant. Sure enough, he was just making fun of his little sister.

However, his sister was not someone that Yan Zijun could casually play with. "If you don't have any feelings for her, then stay away from her!"

Only now did Yan Zijun understand the reason why Li Yang was beaming at him these past few days. He remained silent for a moment before replying after some time, "I understand."

And on the day of the Lantern Festival, Li Su had already painted her makeup. She had even specially stuck the pearl hairpin that Yan Zijun had given her on her head.

However, even after the lanterns were lit, no one came.

Li Yang looked at her, "Waiting for someone?"

Li Su shook her head, but her disappointed expression could be seen clearly.

"I'll let Yinyan accompany you."

Li Su was no longer in the mood. "Forget it, I …"

"Didn't you always want to see lanterns? And after seeing lanterns, you're going back to Beijing."

Her brother was really annoying. Li Su rolled her eyes and said, "You don't like your sister that much!"

"I heard that Yan Zijun has made an engagement with the Ning Family's daughter, and that the two families are friends for generations. He has even betrothed a child to her."

Li Su was stunned for a moment before asking, "The Ning Residence's daughter?"

"Maybe you can meet them on the street!"

Yan Zijun had clearly made an appointment with him that day, but why did he turn around to look for Ning Wanfeng? Li Su looked at Li Yang with suspicion. Could her brother have lied to her?

Perhaps he had guessed what Li Su was thinking, Li Yang put his hand behind his head and said, "If you don't believe me, go take a look, I know you. "My thoughts, but I have an engagement with Yan Zijun."

Li Su had once tried to play matchmaker for Ning Wanfeng and Yan Zijun, but at that time, Yan Zijun had gotten angry, saying that he wouldn't like Ning Wanfeng, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

"Yiyan, accompany Su'er to look at the lanterns. I heard that the Yue Lao Temple is the most lively today."

Li Yang purposely emphasized Yue Lao's tone, and Li Su immediately understood his intention. He was telling her that Yan Zijun and Ning Wanfeng would be coming over.

Yue Lao's temple had always been a place where men and women sought a marriage. If Ning Wanfeng and Yan Zijun went there, it would show that they were in love.

On one hand, Li Su wanted to know if what her brother said was true or not. On the other hand, she was afraid that she would see the loving faces of Ning Wanfeng and Yan Zijun.

Zhu Yiyan asked, "Li Su, are you alright?"

There were all sorts of lanterns hanging on the streets. The streets were bustling with noise and excitement, and everyone had a happy expression on their faces. Only Li Su's face seemed to be covered in a layer of dust.

Li Su shook her head. Yue Lao's temple was right in front of her. She suddenly wanted to escape.

"Let's go put out the lanterns." Li Su took a deep breath. "I heard that the lanterns were placed by the river, and the wish was written on the lanterns. If the God of Heaven saw it, it would come true."

Zhu Yiyan followed Li Su's instructions and bought two lanterns. Li Su wrote her wishes on a piece of paper and stuffed it into the lanterns, "Yi Yan, what wish did you make?"

Li Su looked at Zhu Yiyan and saw that he did not write anything on the slip of paper. "Do you have any wish?"

Zhu Yiyan shook his head.

Then the two of them put the lanterns into the river, and Li Su put her hands together and made a sincere wish.

'Bang! 'a loud sound was heard.

Li Su raised her head and saw the colorful flowers exploding in the sky. While she was still in shock, she caught a glimpse of a man and a woman on the bridge.

The flowers in the sky gradually dimmed, just like Li Su's heart at that moment.

"Brother Zi Jun, this is so beautiful!" Ning Wanfeng, who was on the bridge, looked up at the sky with longing.

Yan Zijun was rather absent-minded. There was a familiar figure under the bridge. Was it her?

The person beside him looked like Li Yang's aide, so her brother told him not to approach Li Su. Was it because he wanted to pair up with his sister and his aide?

An unhappy feeling welled up in Yan Zijun's heart. He also didn't understand why he was in such a state.

"Brother Zi Jun."

When Yan Zijun came back to his senses, Ning Wanfeng tiptoed to his lips and gave him a light kiss.
