It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

Thousands of string pipes are boiling this night, and the lanterns are flying for ten miles.

If it is said that New Year's Eve is the time for family reunion, then on the day of Lantern Festival, people in the capital will take their families and visit the brightly lit streets to enjoy the festival together.

There is no curfew on this day, and even when the fireworks rain all over the sky at night, the winding streets are even more lively than in the daytime.As the saying goes, cars are flowing, horses are swimming in dragons, and thousands of families are enjoying themselves drunk.The roads are paved with horses and fragrant chariots, the streets are full of people, and the emerald pearls and pearls are shining with silver flowers under the lights.Bustling crowds walk back and forth on the small bridge covered with colorful lights, and silk and bamboo orchestras faintly come out from the tall buildings beside the street, creating a lively and grand scene.

"Do you want to go out with another bowl of Yuanxiao?" The queen stirred the floating white glutinous dumplings in the bowl with a silver spoon, and asked Shen Jinghe, who was already fully dressed.

"No, come back and eat!"

Shen Jinghe smiled at her, turned around and stepped out of the palace gate, his pace was a little faster than usual.

Seeing his vaguely expectant and excited back, the queen couldn't help laughing, secretly thinking that he really has a youthful heart.

——Forget it, it is rare to have such a grand Lantern Festival in a year.Young people are mostly lively people, so let him go.

Shen Jinghe didn't know that he had made such an evaluation from the empress. At this time, he had already pushed back the left and right palace people, walked through the sea of ​​laughing and laughing people on the street, and walked straight to Luo Street.

He didn't know where the faint joy in his heart came from—maybe it was because of a light snowfall in the afternoon, and the lights of Qianmen against the snow made the long street under the light night light extraordinarily bright.

The closer you get to Luo Street, the more exquisite lanterns hang on both sides of you.There are those who paste the paper and paint graceful lotuses with a vermilion pen, and those who use amber as a lamp and mica as a screen, and the crystal-like colored light illuminates passers-by with thousands of shadows.The colorful lanterns shine brightly on the towers, and countless silver flowers bloom overnight, making people suspect that they are wandering among the silver trees in the Milky Way on a leaf of stars.

After turning the corner, there is Luo Street, and the shadows of pearls and emerald lights can be seen in the distance, but Shen Jinghe's footsteps are a little hesitant, and an emotion similar to the feeling of being close to home and timidity arises spontaneously in his chest.

What is he doing so stupid?

Patting himself on the head to suppress his nervousness, he took a photo with the shimmering clear waves under the stone bridge until he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his attire today. The flow of people moved forward again.

There are more than a dozen Lantern Festivals in Beijing, and Luo Street is one of the most prosperous among them.At that time, people said that "the stars continue to be few in the bright moon, and the music of bead curtains and row houses is long." They chanted the fiery trees, silver flowers and Xingqiao iron locks on Luo Street.Shen Jinghe was afraid that there would be too many people taking to the streets today, so he left the palace early, and now he has half a foot in Luo Street, but it has not even reached the hour of You.

The appointment with Liang Yan was at the moment of You Shi, so he was not in a hurry, but curiously gathered around the crowd who burst into applause from time to time, watching the jugglers performing fish and dragon plays, the sound of flutes, drums and laughter could be heard endlessly , looking at the eyes are all clothes and temples, tassels and treasure belts.

Liang Yan was leaning on the stone wall next to the lantern shop, throwing a small square wrapped in oiled paper up and down in his hand, watching the endless stream of people boredly.He weighed the things in his palm with a smile in his eyes.

Thinking of the joyful expression that person might show at that time, he suddenly felt that the long wait was nothing at all.He looked up at the first bright moon on the eaves and pointed pavilion, and felt as if even the moon had turned into that man's handsome eyes.

It snowed in the afternoon, so I don't know if he has enough clothes?

His gaze randomly passed over the bustling crowd not far away, but he couldn't help but pause—the handsome young man standing on tiptoe outside the bustling crowd and looking inside with great interest, wasn't the one he was thinking of, who could it be?

Liang Yan was almost not laughed at, but fortunately he waited here for a long time, it turned out that he had already found his own fun.He squinted his eyes, flicked his sleeves, and walked into the crowd with his stride.

When he was two steps away from Shen Jinghe, he couldn't help but slowly stop.From his angle, he could just see Shen Jinghe's bright eyes full of interest, twinkling, as if they could light up the whole world in front of him.

...Forget it, since he likes to watch it, let him watch it for a while.

The crowd on the left and right still burst into exclamation and cheers from time to time, but Liang Yan didn't have time to take a look at the juggler in the center, his eyes only had time to be filled with the figure of the young man a few steps away.

Standing under the lamplight, he was as bright as the bright moon falling into the world.

The fish and dragon game finally ended with the sound of gongs and drums, Shen Jinghe smacked his lips, secretly regretting that he hadn't seen enough.

The flow of people began to disperse, and just as he was about to turn around, he felt a pat on his left shoulder.

Looking to the rear left in doubt, there is nothing in sight except for the lanterns swaying in the fragrant wind.

Could it be that he felt wrong?

Shen Jinghe turned his head around, but the next second he was taken aback by a greased paper bag that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.He took a step back, calming himself down.The paper bag was removed, revealing Liang Yan's smiling eyes.

Shen Jinghe heaved a sigh of relief, and glared at him, but there was a hint of a smile on his face, "You are here!"

Liang Yan sighed unjustly, "I arrived at Luo Street an hour ago before it was dark."

"Why did you come so early?" Shen Jinghe raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Liang Yan said nothing, but he had already grasped Shen Jinghe's hand naturally and familiarly, and held it firmly.In front of him, laughing and chatting, all the people passing by were flowers arranging flowers and drinking wine, Shen Jinghe blushed slightly, struggled twice, but did not break away, so he could only purse his lips and let him go.

"I'm afraid you came too early, and you won't see me, so I'm anxious." Liang Yan drew a circle lightly on his palm, looked down at him and spoke.

There was an endless stream of talking, laughing and singing around, the flute and the drum vibrated the sky, the whispered words fell to Shen Jinghe's ears, but they were clearly audible as if they fell directly to the bottom of his heart.He looked away a little unnaturally, "...I won't be in a hurry."

"You're not in a hurry." Liang Yan laughed, with an intentionally aggrieved look on his face, "When I saw you, you were enjoying yourself before juggling!"

Shen Jinghe's eyes widened, he didn't expect Liang Yan to see him so early.However, listening to him say this, I also felt a little embarrassed.After all, it was still very cold this day, Liang Yan was waiting alone on the street, it was pitiful to think about it.

After thinking for a while, he took a step back and cupped his hands in a long bow, and deliberately dragged out his tone, "... I can't apologize to General Liang! I hope that General Liang has a lot of people, please forgive me this time. "

Liang Yan looked at him pretending to be here with a smile, as if thinking of something, his eyes flickered slightly, "I remember when someone bowed to me last time, he seemed to be saying something... from now on, I just want to say something, Going to heaven and going to earth to go through fire and water, he will not hesitate?"

Shen Jinghe's body froze, being reminded by Liang Yan, he also thought of what he had said in the Taixue Stone Pavilion before.

——It was just a random talk at the time, how could the person in front of me remember so clearly!

He gritted his teeth and raised his head, "Little General Liang really has a good memory! Thinking about it, is it useful for villains now?"

"I don't want you to go to heaven and earth, and I don't want you to go through fire and water." Liang Yan sighed slightly, stepped forward and lowered his head to carefully close his robe, and covered his ears that were a little red from the cold with his warm palms , "...I just want you to be well."

Shen Jinghe stared blankly at Liang Yan's face that was close at hand, and his ears were held in his palms, causing the cheering voices around him to recede like a tide in an instant, only the beating of his heart almost shook him. His chest hurts.

He moved his lips twice, but couldn't say it out of embarrassment.

——He wanted to tell Liang Yan not to cover his ears anymore, if he kept covering his ears, the reddish pinnae of his ears would burn his face.

Sensing the warming of the skin under his palm, Liang Yan let go of his hand, and took out the oiled paper bag that had just been put in from his bosom.

"Well, for you."

"What is this?" Shen Jinghe rubbed his itchy ears, and took the light paper bag.

Liang Yan stood there without moving, "Open it and have a look."

After the rustling sound of peeling the paper, Shen Jinghe looked at a piece of white and tender pastry covered with sugar crumbs laying obediently in the middle of the oil paper, and asked with some surprise: "...is this?"

"This is the most famous candy corner in Guo's shop in the east of the city. It is only sold on the Lantern Festival." Liang Yan looked at him with a smile. One piece. I heard that if you eat the candy corner during the Lantern Festival, you will have good luck every year, so hurry up and eat it."

Shen Jinghe looked at the small candy corner in his hand in a daze, and felt that he couldn't find any other words besides being moved.He picked up this soft and sticky candy corner, and bit off half of it lightly with his lips and teeth.Biting through the crispy outer skin, the sugar filling slowly overflowing from the inside melts in the mouth, and a rich sweetness bursts on the tip of the tongue immediately.

Sweet but not greasy, with a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, it really deserves to be an old dim sum shop in the city that has been around for more than a hundred years.

Shen Jinghe swallowed the candy filling in his mouth, staring at the half piece of candy corner between his fingers, suddenly thought of one thing——

If Liang Yan only bought one piece, wouldn't he be able to eat it himself?

In a moment of brain fever, Shen Jinghe raised his hand and handed half a candy corner to Liang Yan's mouth.It wasn't until he saw Liang Yan's slightly dilated pupils due to astonishment that he suddenly realized what stupid thing he had done.

——However, if he retracts his hand again at this time, it will appear that he is stingy and reluctant to part with this piece of pastry.

Shen Jinghe's eyelashes trembled slightly, he turned his head away a little stiffly, and his nana voice was so small that he could hardly hear it, "You... you can eat too."

As soon as the words came out, he almost didn't bite his tongue directly.Half of this candy corner was bitten off by him long ago, even if Liang Yan didn't dislike it, he also...he couldn't do such an impolite behavior!

After waiting for a while, the man was still silent.Shen Jinghe couldn't bear it anymore, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, he immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, "You, you can forget it if you don't eat..."

Before he finished speaking, his whole body froze in place.Liang Yan suddenly grabbed his hand tightly, and slowly raised his head, looking straight at him with deep and unpredictable eyes.Liang Yan's warm palm was pressed against his wrist, as if it was about to burn that piece of skin.

He held the same white and tender candy corner between his white fingers, trembling slightly in bewilderment.

Liang Yan didn't look at the cake covered with crystal sugar, Liang Yan just stared at him for a moment, tilted his head closer, gently took the half cake in his mouth, and pulled it out from Shen Jinghe's fingers very slowly, Tear and chew.Like a wolf, it puts the captured prey between its lips and teeth and plays with it repeatedly until the Adam's apple moves up and down, and swallows them all.

Liang Yan's deep and inexplicable gaze never moved away from his face, and there seemed to be a vortex surging in those jet-black pupils, trying to suck the heart and soul of the person in front of him mercilessly.

Shen Jinghe was stared at by such eyes, he felt that even his breathing became unbearably short.Liang Yan has been staring at him since just now, giving him the feeling that...

It was as if he ate all the half of the candy corner for his own face.

Shen Jinghe's face became slightly hot, but he didn't understand why he had such a strange idea.Seeing that Liang Yan finished his last bite, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, "Okay, you..."

His body froze suddenly.

Liang Yan once again tightly grasped the hand he was about to withdraw, lowered his eyes, stared at the sugar granules on his fingertips, and chuckled inexplicably.Putting his aggressive eyes back on his face, Liang Yan leaned over to bully him, sticking out the warm tip of his tongue, and licked his fingertips lightly and slowly, scraping away all the sugar grains.

Shen Jinghe felt his head explode with a "boom", and his face and neck were dyed red at an astonishing speed.He withdrew his fingers abruptly, trembling uncontrollably, his chest heaving up and down, panting uncontrollably.The moist, hot and soft touch seems to be still on the fingertips, and a thin layer of water can be vaguely seen on the fingertips.

How could Liang Yan, how could he...

"Very sweet." Liang Yan lowered his head, leaned into his ear, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.That voice seemed to be suppressing some emotions, and when he spoke, his warm breath rushed behind his ears, almost making Shen Jinghe unable to stand still.

"Sweet? Ah, yes...it's very sweet..." Shen Jinghe only felt dizzy and dizzy. He didn't know what he was talking about. Words in your head.

Liang Yan saw that he was in a daze and couldn't figure out Bei, and finally couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh, and stretched out his hand to wrap him in his arms.Resting his chin lightly on his shoulder, he deeply inhaled the fragrance of grass and trees in Shen Jinghe's hair, and sighed for a long time in an extremely tender and gentle tone.

"Little Crane..."

Shen Jinghe was embraced by him, his mind was still in the chaos just now, and bizarre emotions flashed through his mind like a lantern.He was still staring blankly at the front, and he didn't recall it for a long time.

The familiar breath enveloped him overwhelmingly, his limbs had long been accustomed to such peace of mind, and he relaxed before his thoughts could react.

Leaning on Liang Yan, he didn't know what to think.I just feel vaguely that the glazed lantern hanging high under the emerald eaves in the distance is really beautiful.
