Xiao Qingning was stunned when she heard this. This rabbit lamp was exactly what she would like and she wanted it very much.

"Boss, aren't these lanterns displayed here to be sold? What do you mean by not selling them?"

The boss smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, girl. Listen to me first. Today is the Lantern Festival. It is different from ordinary markets. Everything is related to the Lantern Festival. These lanterns are not just for sale. There is a prize. There is a riddle in each of my lanterns. As long as you answer the riddle correctly, the lantern is yours. It only costs ten cents to guess the riddle once. If you guess it wrong, you can buy more guesses."

After hearing the boss's explanation, Xiao Qingning's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.

Xiao Qingning rarely had the opportunity to leave the palace, so she was curious about all new things and found guessing lantern riddles very interesting.

"Only ten cents to guess once? That's too cheap, isn't it? Boss, isn't this riddle difficult? Otherwise, if everyone gets the answer right at once, won't you be losing money?"

The boss smiled when he heard this, "Whether the puzzle is difficult or not depends on the person, but of course it's a loss, but setting up a stall during the Lantern Festival is not for making money. It's just for good luck and for everyone to have fun together."

Xiao Qingning nodded upon hearing this and found this boss very interesting.

To be able to have such unique ideas, I guess his family background is not bad.

"Interesting, sir. I'll choose this rabbit lantern. Here, here are ten cents."

The boss accepted it with a smile and handed the rabbit lamp to Xiao Qingning.

"Girl, please."

Xiao Qingning took it with great anticipation and took out the puzzle.

"There are trees in the mountains, but the trees have branches, and my heart is happy for you, but you don't know it."

After reading it, Xiao Qingning frowned slightly. She had read this poem before, but could this also be considered a puzzle?

Seeing Xiao Qingning's puzzled look, the boss reminded her, "Girl, I see that you like this rabbit lantern very much, so I'll give you a hint. The answer to this lantern riddle is four words."

The boss's so-called tips were actually of no help to Xiao Qingning, and she was still a little at a loss.

"What kind of riddle is so difficult? Look how worried you are. Your whole face is wrinkled."

Just when he was frowning, Xiao Qingning suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Xiao Qingning looked up with great surprise. The person standing in front of her was exactly the person she wanted to see very much.

"Li Zhehao? Why are you here?"

Seeing Xiao Qingning's eyes full of smiles when she saw her, Li Zhehao couldn't help but smile too.

"Isn't today the Lantern Festival? I came here to take a look. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Xiao Qingning couldn't control the smile on his face at this moment, and asked tentatively: "Are you here alone?"

Li Zhehao nodded and said, "Yes, I came here by myself."

Xiao Qingning was delighted when he heard this, and was extremely grateful that he had come out alone just now.

There are people coming and going at the lantern festival, and they can meet each other like this. It seems that they are really destined to be together.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Can you show me your riddle? Maybe I can help you solve it."

Xiao Qingning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly handed the puzzle to Li Zhehao.

Xiao Qingning whispered in Li Zhehao's ear: "I really like that rabbit lamp. You must help me get it."

Because there were so many people around, Xiao Qingning stood very close, fearing that Li Zhehao could not hear what she said.

The girl's warm breath came from his ears, and Li Zhehao instantly felt a tingling sensation in his body and his cheeks became hot.

"Okay...Okay, don't worry, I will definitely get it for you."

Li Zhehao opened the puzzle with a little panic and pretended to look at it very seriously.

In fact, both the rabbit lantern and the puzzle were prepared by Li Zhehao. He knew what was written on them without even looking at them.

He wanted to express his feelings to Xiao Qingning through the answer to the riddle, so he specially prepared the rabbit lantern that Xiao Qingning liked.

"I know the answer, Boss, can you lend me a pen and paper?"

The boss was very cooperative and handed Li Zhehao the paper and pen he had prepared in advance.

Li Zhehao picked up the pen and wrote the four words he had memorized on the paper, then slowly placed them in Xiao Qingning's palm.

Seeing that Li Zhehao knew the answer, Xiao Qingning was very happy and hurried to look at the note in her hand.

When she saw what was written on it, she was stunned.

There are four big words written on it: "I love you".

Xiao Qingning was a little at a loss for a moment, not sure whether Li Zhehao was answering the question seriously or if this was what he wanted to say to her.

No matter which one it was, the moment Xiao Qingning saw these four words, her face turned red.

"Li Zhehao, this..."

Li Zhehao knew what Xiao Qingning wanted to ask from her reaction and smiled slightly.

"This is the answer to the puzzle, and this is what I want to tell you."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qingning felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to his face uncontrollably, and his cheeks began to feel hot.

Xiao Qingning felt very embarrassed. She knew without even looking that her face must have turned red.

Xiao Qingning didn't know what to say at the moment, so she could only lower her head to hide her shyness.

The boss saw that Xiao Qingning was embarrassed and said, "Miss, can you show me the answer in your hand?"

After hearing what the boss said, Xiao Qingning finally reacted and quickly handed over the note.

The boss glanced at the note and said with a smile, "This gentleman has answered correctly. Congratulations, young lady. This rabbit lamp is yours."

After the boss finished speaking, he did not forget to hand the note back to Xiao Qingning, with a smile on his face all the time.

"Thank you boss."

The note returned to Xiao Qingning's hands again, and Xiao Qingning put it away carefully, fearing that it would be lost.

Li Zhehao saw this scene and smiled sweetly.

"I have something to tell you. There are too many people here. Let's go to another place. You follow me closely."

Xiao Qingning nodded when she heard this, and she was already looking forward to what Li Zhehao would say to her later.

Li Zhehao had just taken two steps when he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he stopped and turned around to look at Xiao Qingning.

Xiao Qingning was confused when she saw Li Zhehao reach out and hold her wrist.

"There are a lot of people ahead, so I'd better hold your hand and walk with you. Don't get separated."

The moment Li Zhehao held her wrist, Xiao Qingning could clearly feel her heart beating violently.

Xiao Qingning was worried that Li Zhehao would notice her abnormality, so she nodded quickly to hide her panic.

Li Zhehao didn't notice anything unusual about Xiao Qingning. When he saw her nod, he pulled her forward.

Countless people passed by him along the way, but at this moment Xiao Qingning could only see Li Zhehao.

Xiao Qingning only felt the noise around him gradually subside, and when he came to his senses, he found that the two of them had come to a secluded creek.

People are visiting the lantern festival, so the place is sparsely populated and very quiet.
