I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

During the Lantern Festival, the night fell, the lights came on, and the entire capital was decorated with bright lights like a dream. In the Duke's Mansion, Chen Jia and Chen Jue had just finished dinner. The siblings were in high spirits and did not want to miss this beautiful scene.

Chen Jia was wearing a moon-white brocade dress with a light pink cape embroidered with plum blossoms on the outside. Her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, making her look even more gentle and charming.

She gently pulled Chen Jue's sleeve, her eyes full of anticipation: "Xiao Jue, today is the Lantern Festival, the streets must be very lively, let's go out and take a look at the lanterns."

Chen Jue was dressed in a blue brocade robe, with an upright posture and heroic spirit between his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.

He looked at the desire in his sister's eyes and responded without hesitation: "Since you are interested in this, I will accompany you. But there are so many people outside, so please follow me closely and don't get separated."

After saying this, he carefully adjusted Chen Jia's cloak, and asked the maid to bring two hand warmers, and then he walked out of the mansion side by side with Chen Jia.

As soon as she walked out of the house, a gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Jia couldn't help but shiver slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Jue hurriedly protected Chen Jia by his side, using his body to shield her from the cold wind, and handed her a hand warmer in his hand: "Sister, take this hand warmer, don't catch a cold."

Chen Jia took the hand warmer, feeling the warmth, and was deeply moved. She leaned towards Chen Jue and said, "With Xiao Jue here, I feel much more at ease."

The two walked slowly along the street and soon arrived at the core area of ​​the lantern festival.

I saw all kinds of lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, including gorgeous lotus lanterns, phoenix lanterns with wings spread out as if about to fly, and adorable rabbit lanterns... colorful and beautiful.

The crowd was bustling with people and laughter. Children were running through the crowd, holding sugar figures, windmills and other small toys in their hands, shouting excitedly.

Chen Jia's eyes were attracted by an exquisite revolving lantern, on which were painted patterns of various mythological stories. As the candlelight swayed, the patterns seemed to come alive and kept turning.

She couldn't help but stop and stare at the light without blinking.

Seeing that his sister liked the lantern, Chen Jue said to the stall owner nearby: "I want this lantern, you wrap it up." The stall owner hurriedly agreed, wrapped up the lantern and handed it to Chen Jue.

Chen Jue took the lantern and handed it to Chen Jia: "Sister, this lantern is a Lantern Festival gift for you." Chen Jia took it with joy: "Xiao Jue, you are so thoughtful."

As they walked, an enticing aroma of food wafted over. Chen Jia sniffed it and said with a smile, "It smells so good, Xiaojue, there seem to be a lot of snacks over there, let's go take a look."

Chen Jue nodded and accompanied Chen Jia to the snack stand. The stand was filled with a wide variety of delicacies, including steaming Yuanxiao, golden and crispy fried cakes, and fragrant barbecue skewers...

Chen Jia's eyes fell on the skewers of barbecue, and a trace of desire flashed in her eyes. Chen Jue saw it and said to the stall owner: "Give me ten skewers of barbecue."

After a while, the skewers were ready. Chen Jue took them and handed one to Chen Jia first: "Sister, try this skewers and see if it suits your taste."

Chen Jia took a bite and found the meat fragrant and tender. She praised, "It tastes very good."

Chen Jue watched her sister eating happily, so she picked up a skewer and started eating. While eating, the two of them walked among the crowd, feeling the lively atmosphere.

As the night deepened, the chill grew stronger. Chen Jue saw that Chen Jia's nose tip was slightly red, and worried that she would catch a cold, so he looked around for a place to keep warm.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw an open-air bonfire not far away, where many people were sitting around it to keep warm. Chen Jue took Chen Jia over and found a place to sit down.

Chen Jue picked up some branches from the side and put them on the campfire. Soon, the flames became stronger.

He said to Chen Jia, "Sister, come over here and warm yourself by the fire." Chen Jia approached the campfire, stretched out her hands, and felt the warm flames.

Chen Jue watched his sister quietly from the side, adding branches for her from time to time to ensure that the fire would not weaken.

After roasting the fire for a while, Chen Jia felt a little bored. She looked at the burning bonfire and suddenly had an idea: "Xiao Jue, the bonfire is so strong, why don't we roast something to eat, just like the kebabs we had just now."

Chen Jue found it interesting and nodded, saying, "Sister, this is a good idea. But there are no ready-made ingredients nearby. I'll go find some."

After saying that, he stood up, walked around, and soon came back with some sweet potatoes and chestnuts.

Chen Jue placed the sweet potatoes and chestnuts in the ashes next to the campfire and poked them with a branch so that they could be heated evenly.

Chen Jia looked at it curiously, with excitement flashing in her eyes: "Xiao Jue, can this really be roasted?"

Chen Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. Just wait patiently for a while, and you will be able to eat delicious roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts."

While waiting, Chen Jue and Chen Jia sat by the campfire and looked at the crowd around them.

Chen Jue said softly to Chen Jia, "Sister, look at this Lantern Festival, everyone is so happy. I really hope this time can continue forever."

Chen Jia nodded slightly: "Yes, such liveliness and peace are rare."

After a while, the aroma of sweet potatoes and chestnuts gradually spread. Chen Jue used a branch to pick them out of the ashes, patted the ashes on them, and handed Chen Jia a sweet potato and a few chestnuts: "Sister, be careful of the heat."

Chen Jia took it and gently peeled off the skin of the sweet potato, revealing the golden flesh, steaming hot.

She took a bite and found it soft, sweet and fragrant, leaving a lingering fragrance in her mouth: "Xiao Jue, this roasted sweet potato is really delicious."

Chen Jue looked at her sister's satisfied expression and started to smile. She also picked up a sweet potato and started to eat it.

After eating sweet potatoes and chestnuts, Chen Jia and Chen Jue continued to play in the lantern festival.

They saw a stall for guessing lantern riddles, and Chen Jia said to Chen Jue, "Xiao Jue, let's go guess lantern riddles, too. This is a fun thing to do during the Lantern Festival."

Chen Jue replied, "Okay, sister is very quick-witted and will be able to guess a lot."

The two came to the lantern riddle stall, and Chen Jia fell into deep thought while looking at the lantern riddles hanging there. After a while, she guessed a few lantern riddles and won a few small prizes from the stall owner, including exquisite sachets, small fans, and cute dolls.

Chen Jia handed the doll to Chen Jue: "Xiao Jue, this is for you as a thank you gift for accompanying your sister today."

Chen Jue took the doll and said with a smile, "Sister, I will definitely treasure this doll."

Before they knew it, it was already late at night. Chen Jia was a little tired, and she yawned softly. Seeing this, Chen Jue said softly, "Sister, you are tired, let's go back home." Chen Jia nodded. Chen Jue protected Chen Jia and slowly walked out of the crowd and walked towards the Duke's Mansion.

Along the way, Chen Jia recalled every detail of tonight, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
