Xiao Ziyan couldn't understand why that Young fool was taking so much care of her, so she kept the < Classics of Tendon Changing > in her arms, "It's a good thing after all. Let's practice this < Classics of Tendon Changing Technique > from now on." Xiao Ziyan was not stingy at all. Moreover, she truly saw the book as a good brother. Naturally, she didn't want the book to be weak either.

"Big brother Xiao, I also want to learn!" If you say something nice, I'll let you learn it. " Sima Xiao pouted, "You always make me say something nice. I'm not going to learn it yet, hmph!"

"Big Brother Xiao, there's no need for big sister Yue to say anything nice. She has long since given up on following you." The most favorite thing about writing a book in Chinese was the fact that Xiao Ziyan and Sima Xiao were arguing with each other over it. Sima Xiao was so embarrassed that he kicked the book in Chinese, puffing out his cheeks in anger. The Chinese student clutched his calf in pain as he frantically massaged, "Why am I always the one getting hurt?"

Xiao Ziyan felt very satisfied and gratified at the same time. "If only I could continue living like this with Xiao Yue Zhong. That would be great."

"Big Brother Xiao!" When Xiao Zi Yan heard Sima Xiao Yue's voice, she came back to her senses, "What happened?" Tomorrow is Lantern Festival, you won't forget what you promised me, right? " She asked Xiao Zi Yan to accompany her out on the night of the Lantern Festival to admire the lanterns, "How could I forget? Your big brother Xiao promised to do it, I will definitely accompany you out tomorrow night." Hearing this, Sima Xiao Yue felt relieved. He leaned over and said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "Why are you doing this, Brother Xiao? Could it be that you're only taking elder sister Yue out and abandoning me?"

Seeing the expression on the Chinese book, Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "How could that be? We are brothers, we share fortune and drink wine together!"

"Hahaha, big brother Xiao is big brother Xiao. We share good fortune and drink together!" After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt very upset in his heart. Xiao Ziyan truly treated him with sincerity, but he had always kept an important matter hidden from Xiao Ziyan, "Big Brother Xiao. Me. I want to tell you something. "

"Whatever it is, just say it."

"Actually. "Me." The book in the book hesitated for a long time, but in the end, it still did not speak, "I'm not full yet." Xiao Ziyan laughed out loud after hearing this, "Stupid boy, what are you shy about if you haven't eaten your fill? Waiter, serve me two more dishes!" "Customer, please wait a moment ~"

Afterwards, the three of them went out to buy some things, and Sima Xiao Yue bought two books to read in order to relieve his boredom. Xiao Ziyan bought a set of white clothes for Zhonghua and put it on happily. After buying all the miscellaneous items, she returned to the inn to rest.

The first month was the first month of the Central State calendar. The ancient people called it "Xiao", and the fifteenth was the first full moon of the year, so it was called the fifteenth day of the first month. In this day and night, the people will eat Yuanxiao, floral lanterns, dragon dance, lion dance, it is very lively. Xiao Zi Yan and the other two walked through the crowded streets, looking at all kinds of lanterns and magnificent lions dancing. They truly enjoyed themselves. Brother Xiao, do you know why there is this New Year's Eve? " Xiao Ziyan was stunned by the question. Although she knew that the Lantern Festival was coming, she didn't know why it would be coming. She just didn't know why.

"I don't know, but you've been reading ever since you were a child. You've been through a lot, so I'm sure you know about it." Hearing Xiao Zi Yan praise her, Sima Xiao Yue couldn't help but be elated, "Of course I know. I will tell Brother Xiao and the idiot in the book about how there were many vicious birds and fierce beasts that attacked people and livestock a long, long time ago, so everyone organized an attack on them. As a result, there happened to be a divine bird that landed on the ground because it was lost, and accidentally got shot to death by an unsuspecting hunter. When the Celestial Emperor found out, he was furious. He immediately passed down an order for the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the human world on the 15th of the first month, burning all of the human and animal property. The daughter of the Celestial Emperor was kind and could not bear to see the innocent people suffer, so she took the risk of her life and secretly rode the auspicious cloud to the human world to tell the news to the people. When the crowd heard this news, it was like a clap of thunder had struck their heads. They were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. Only after a long time did an old man come up with a plan. He said that on the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth of the first month, every household would open lanterns and decorations, light firecrackers, and light fireworks. In this way, the Celestial Emperor would think that people had been burned to death. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and then split up and prepared to go. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, when the Celestial Emperor looked down, he discovered a patch of red light in the world. The sound was deafening, as it had been for three consecutive nights. In this way, people preserve their lives and property. In order to commemorate this success, every year until the fifteenth day of the first month, every family would hang lanterns and light fireworks to commemorate this day. "

Xiao Ziyan couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy when she heard this. After the story was finished, she thought to herself, "If it wasn't for that kind fairy goddess, I would have definitely suffered in the mortal world."

"That's right, it's all thanks to that fairy and smart old man." Xiao Ziyan thought for a while, then smiled: "Could it be that the more beautiful she is, the more beautiful she will become, and specifically come to tell me this story?" When Sima Xiao Yue heard this, he pinched Xiao Zi Yan's arm, "Pah!" If I were that fairy, why would I tell you this story? "

"Presumably, I am the reincarnation of the smart old man, so you have come."

Sima Xiao Yue's face flushed red. "Nonsense!" Seeing the two of them ignoring him again, Zhong Shu shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had long since gotten used to this.

The three of them finished watching the lion dance and the dragon eat the candied fruits. After walking for a while, they saw a couple by the river in front of them. They all carried lanterns in their hands and placed them in the river.

"Come take a look at the lanterns ~ The cheap lanterns ~ are placed in the river and ask the river god to bless the marriage fate ~" Zhong Shu heard this and felt that there was hope. "Big brother Xiao, big sister Yue, I'll go take a look. The two of you wait here for me."

"Alright, we'll wait here for you." After Xiao Ziyan finished speaking, the book in her hands slipped away like a wisp of smoke. Big Brother Xiao, let's go to the river and put out a flower lantern. " Xiao Ziyan nodded and dotingly scratched Sima Xiao Yue's nose. "I also have the same intention."

"Humph!" You call me stupid? You said just now that I was smart! " Xiao Ziyan laughed out loud, "You're still saying that you're not an idiot? "If I say you're stupid, you think you're stupid. If I say you're smart, you think you're smart. You really are a little idiot."

Sima Xiao's expression suddenly became gentle as she looked at Xiao Zi Yan's handsome face, "Brother Xiao said I was stupid, so I'm stupid. Whatever Brother Xiao says, the more you think it's true, the more it's true." As Xiao Ziyan heard these words, an indescribable sweetness filled her heart. For a moment, she was lost in thought.

"Big Brother Xiao, let's go put out the lanterns!"

There were many kinds of lanterns. After a long time, the two of them picked one of the lanterns that belonged to a groom and his wife, "These two look like a couple, hahaha, a talented couple. You are the most compatible couple I've seen tonight, so I'll give you these lanterns as a blessing.

The lanterns seller was a simple and honest old man. He was very cordial with the two of them. "Then, thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome. Go and let the River God bless your future." Xiao Ziyan took Sima Xiaoyue's hand and squatted down by the river, "Yueyue, do you have any wish?"

When Sima Xiao Yue heard this, his face flushed red, "I hope to be with Brother Xiao forever." Xiao Ziyan's heart warmed when she heard that. "I also hope to be able to protect you forever." After saying that, he put down the lantern in his hand. The lantern floated gently in the river and slowly disappeared into the distance.

"Wish us. Always together. "

Lantern Festival, the shadow follows, the river bank reminiscing a few time back.

Forever relying on each other, returning together, an inch of mutual love an inch of ash.
