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

"Let's go to see the lanterns together?"

Before the passing people noticed the two people who were hugging tightly, Liang Yan finally let go of him, but the connected hands were still reluctant to let go, holding his fingertips in his palms and kneading them lightly and heavily.

"Hmm..." Shen Jinghe responded sullenly.

He knew that under normal circumstances, he should take his fingers out of Liang Yan's palm, or seriously question why he did that just now.However, the bright moonlight in the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is really good, and the melodious tunes of the sheng song looming from the jade tower in Fenglou made him forget all the reactions he should have in a daze, and he could only close his eyes tightly. He looked firmly at Liang Yan's face.He looked over with black eyes full of smiles, and he was also filled with joy.

You are really worthless.

Shen Jinghe secretly spat at himself in his heart, but as soon as Liang Yan's warm and dry palm came up, he could only obediently lower his eyes and obediently follow behind him.

Before the flower lights, the painted skirts are drawn, and the fragrance of clothes is dark all the way.Yinhua crimson trees bloom thousands of feet on both sides of the street in Dengshi, with tourists like weaving and dancing sleeves like clouds.Although the night is becoming more and more intense, the patchwork and exquisite lanterns hanging on the high ropes on the road ahead are shining with colorful brilliance under the moonlight.

Hanging under each lantern is a note swinging in the blue musk wind, on which are written various riddles.If you guess right, you can take the lantern off with a note and take it away.If you really can't guess it right, but you really like it, you can also find a nearby vendor and buy it directly.

"Do you want to try guessing lantern riddles?" Liang Yan seemed to be unable to get enough of him, but kept tilting his head and looking at him with a smile, "No...according to the ingenuity of our Sixth Highness, if we really go, just go I'm afraid that the shop where the lanterns are hung will have to pay a lot of money today."

Shen Jinghe was also amused by him, "If General Liang can't bear it, he can count the money to them one by one after I guess correctly."

"Okay!" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows vigorously, "You can guess freely, even if you have guessed all the lantern riddles in this half of the street today, I will not spare the money to buy lanterns."

"Little General Liang is really rich, but I'm too embarrassed to go there again." Shen Jinghe blinked at him and smiled slyly.

"It's okay. If you're interested, we'll go over and have a look together." The more Liang Yan saw his smile, the more he liked it, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his head. "Today, you just choose what you like to do, and I will accompany you You are."

Shen Jinghe didn't speak any more, but gently held his hand back, and the two of them wobbled slowly towards the lantern, chatting and laughing with their heads turned from time to time.Pedestrians around excitedly greeted their friends and pointed out, but the two of them just walked quietly and slowly, admiring the light and moonlight while walking.

The night is very long, even if you walk slowly, it will not hurt the good night of Qingge and Shuyue.

The ten miles of fragrant wind blew their fluttering clothes and belts together again, Shen Jinghe looked down, but first saw their tightly holding hands.

He didn't know what to think, but he raised his head and tilted his head to look at Liang Yan, "Now that there is no snow on the sky, and the long street is not slippery, why do you still hold me?"

Liang Yan was taken aback by his straightforward question, but Shen Jinghe seemed to be slightly drunk in the aroma of fine wine floating in the city. He stared at Liang Yan intently.

Seen by his undisguised eyes, Liang Yan raised his head to look at Yinhan Qinghan in the sky like a cover, and said softly: "It will snow soon."

Shen Jinghe seemed dissatisfied with the answer, curled his lips, "You might as well say that the Lantern City is crowded with people, afraid that I might lose it."

"I won't lose it." Liang Yan looked at his slightly dissatisfied face again, his eyes were shining brightly, "My eyes recognize you, no matter where you are, they can see you at the first sight."

He slightly moved the hand he was holding tightly with Shen Jinghe, and changed his hands into interlocking fingers.

"I won't lose it." Liang Yan moved closer, looked deeply into his pupils, and emphasized again in a firm tone.

Shen Jinghe glanced at him, then quickly turned his gaze back.It can't be said that he is dissatisfied with this explanation, after all, the corners of his lips finally hooked up slightly.

"You two gentlemen, are you interested in guessing the lantern riddles? If you guess correctly, you can take the corresponding lantern away, and you don't need a penny!" Before reaching the high-hanging lantern, the sharp-eyed peddler was already there. He stepped forward with a smile, and couldn't help but persuade him enthusiastically.

The two looked at each other, both remembered the joke just now, and couldn't help but smile at each other.The merchant was a little puzzled, but he still led the way with undiminished enthusiasm for these two handsome young masters.

"Come and have a try, two sons!"

Shen Jinghe nodded at him, turned his head to Liang Yan and raised his eyebrows, deliberately pretending to be a dandy, "Which lantern do you like, just tell me, and I will bring it for you right away! "

After Liang Yan was taken aback for a moment, he half-closed his eyes angrily and amusedly, squeezed his jaw threateningly with one hand, and said in a low tone, "Who is the master, huh?"

"You are the master, you are the master." Shen Jinghe was like a cat whose neck had been pinched, and let go of his arrogance just now, he could only rub his chin on his fingertips flatteringly, "... Master Liang? I don’t know which one you like, but I’ll pick the smaller one for you.”

Liang Yan saw that he had only been threatened for a few words, so he lost his integrity and lost face, so he couldn't help grinding his teeth, and then lightly pinched his face with his fingers.

"I said you just pick what you like today." He raised his chin and pointed to the thousands of dotted lanterns scattered nearby, "here, let's go."

Shen Jinghe took a step back to free his jaw from his hands, looked at him with a smile, then turned and stepped into the shadows of thousands of radiant lights.

Yan Ning was slightly dizzy, and the flames were about to turn into a glow. Looking around, all kinds of exquisite lanterns almost dazzled people's eyes.Shen Jinghe casually walked to a lifelike rouge lotus lamp, stretched out his hand and unfolded the small note tied under the lamp.There was a line of small characters written on the note: half a spring and autumn, type one word.

He chuckled lightly, looked up at Liang Yan who was looking sideways at him with arms crossed, and attracted the merchant just now.

"Half of Spring and Autumn, take half of the character Chun, and add half of the character Qiu, but the character 'Qin'?"

"Sir, you are really smart!" The vendor praised him, took the initiative to untie the lotus lantern for him, and sent it to Shen Jinghe, "This lantern is for you."

"Thank you." Shen Jinghe nodded at him, but he was not in a hurry to leave, and turned his head to look at the tung oil paper lantern in the shape of orchid petals on the other side.

"The wind is rustling, the water is cold, play three chess pieces." He pinched the paper and looked it over carefully, read out the riddle word by word, and smiled slightly, "It's quite interesting...Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Qin , never to return. Shopkeeper, the answer to this riddle is the three characters of soldier, general, and soldier?"

The vendor was really surprised this time. He looked at Shen Jinghe's calm and confident look, but he had to nod convinced, "That's true, that's true! Young Master is indeed a great talent."

"Don't dare to do it, it's just good luck." Shen Jinghe took the second lamp he handed over, turned his head and glanced at Liang Yan, raised his chin slightly, and there was a hint of complacency in his eyes.

Seeing his high-spirited and unrestrained appearance, Liang Yan smiled even wider on his face.If it weren't for the pedestrians all around at this moment, he might have already squeezed him into his arms, ruffled his smooth black hair with one hand, and looked carefully at the half-ashamed and half-anxious expression he showed when he raised his head again. .

Not knowing that a strange passer-by saved his hair, Shen Jinghe still looked around at the lanterns unconsciously.The colored lanterns nearby are all very similar, and after he took the two just now, he lost interest in the similarities.

"Can you guess the lamp?"

Suddenly, he pointed to a crystal lamp inlaid with silver elephant camel not far away, and asked the shopkeeper curiously.This lamp looks extremely luxurious. Under the cover painted with gold and silver, there are strings of pearls strung together. Overshadowed.

The merchant saw that the young master had taken a fancy to the lantern, and a little sweat broke out on his forehead.In the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, in order to attract passing customers, which lantern shop has to put on some gimmicks.This exquisite and precious crystal chandelier is the highlight of their shop this year, specially invited the best craftsmen in the capital to carve it, and the materials used are also more expensive than each one.

This little boy can tell the first two lantern riddles at a glance, he is very clever, if he really guesses this one...

The merchant has a bitter face, but the most important thing for a merchant is reputation, so he can only tell the truth, "This lamp can indeed be guessed, but it is the most valuable lamp in our shop, and it is also the lamp of this year's lamp market. Lantern King, this puzzle is naturally the most difficult."

"Oh? Let me see." Shen Jinghe stepped over slowly, facing the dazzling brilliance, unfolded the incense paper sprinkled with silver powder——

When I looked at it in May, I put on more clothes when I went out. The wanderer was away from home for a long time, and I didn't write poems on plain paper.Type the names of the four herbs.

Is it the name of the medicine?Shen Jinghe bent his knuckles and tapped the note lightly, looking at the mystery face thoughtfully, and muttered to himself.

He was thinking on the spot, but the merchant secretly looked at him, and secretly prayed to all the bodhisattvas to bless this young master so that he would not guess correctly.

"Ah, there it is!" Shen Jinghe clapped his hands happily, but the vendor took a step back as if he was unsteady, with despair already in his eyes.

——What if, what if he guessed wrong?

The vendor looked at him nervously, but Shen Jinghe said with a calm expression, "The names of these four medicines are Pinellia, Fangfeng, Danggui, and Baizhi. I don't know if they are right or not?"

He looked at the vendor with a smile, and the vendor's vision was already darkened, and his five points of despair turned into a very high one.Although he was helpless, he could only drag his steps forward, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and was about to untie this expensive and exquisite lantern.

A hand suddenly stood in front of Hua Deng and stopped him.

The merchant looked over in surprise, but Shen Jinghe withdrew his hand naturally, and nodded slightly at him, "This crystal lamp, the shopkeeper should keep it for himself. Since I am the lamp king this year, then I am not good." Deprive others of the pleasure of appreciating it."

After saying that, he raised the two lanterns in his hand to signal him, and his tone became brisk again, "But these two lanterns, I won't give up any more!"

After being dazed, the vendor repeatedly nodded gratefully to Shen Jinghe, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

Without looking at the vendor behind him again, Shen Jinghe chuckled lightly, turned around and walked towards Liang Yan who had been waiting by the side.

Liang Yan naturally took the lantern in his hand, tilted his head and jokingly said, "Do you really want to not take the Lantern King?"

Shen Jinghe curled his lips at him angrily, but a smile flashed across his eyes, "If we follow what we discussed before, I'm afraid that if I really take that crystal lamp, General Liang will be left behind today. This place is in debt!"

Liang Yan shook his head with a wry smile, looking at the shining lantern in his hand with soft eyes.

"The two lanterns you picked are water lanterns, why don't we take them under the bridge?"

Shen Jinghe approached him with a smile, stared at his face, and smiled even wider, "I want what I want, I dare not ask for it."

Dozens of lanterns, large and small, have floated on the clear waves under the stone bridge. Thousands of bright lights flickering slightly are projected in the water, like stars all over the sky falling on a pool of sparkling blue waves.As soon as the night wind blows, the lanterns will slowly collide and swing on the river surface, and the layers of ripples will startle the stars all over the river.

Shen Jinghe took the lotus lantern and handed the orchid lantern to Liang Yan.The two squatted side by side by the river under the stone bridge, quietly looking at the colorful lanterns in their hands.

In front of the floating lantern, it is always necessary to make a wish together.The water lamp carries the wish and floats leisurely to the depths of Shibo, and this wish can also be transmitted to the sky, and the day will eventually come true.

How about a wish?

Shen Jinghe silently recited the phrase "Heqing Haiyan, safe and healthy", looked at Liang Yan's side face clearly reflected by the light, and added the phrase "We see each other every year" in his heart.

What is this?

His face was a little red, and he bent down in a disguised way by putting on the lamp.At the same time, Liang Yan also lightly placed the orchid lantern in his hand on the water surface, and the two lanterns shone brightly, drifting away slowly, until they turned into two small light spots at the end of the blue waves.

Shen Jinghe didn't turn his head until he could no longer see the lanterns, looked at Liang Yan who had been exceptionally quiet from just now, and asked curiously, "Just now, what wish did you make?"

Liang Yan lowered his head to look at him when he heard the sound, the lamplight illuminated his brows softly, like the moonlight melted a piece of frost.

"It won't work if you express your wish." He gently took Shen Jinghe's hand, his voice was as mellow as old wine in the evening wind, "When it comes true, I will definitely say it to you word by word. listen."

Shen Jinghe turned his head to look at him, only felt a place in his heart suddenly move, some unspeakable emotion overflowed from the deepest part, making his chest sore and swollen, but there was another An intoxicating sweetness.

I want to get closer to him.

Without thinking too much, he took two steps forward and grabbed his hand, "Come here, I'll take you somewhere."

After saying that, without waiting for Liang Yan to react, he dragged him and strode towards the dimly lit long street.Liang Yan let him hold his hand, walked around one shop after another shouting loudly, passed through the crowd full of laughter and voices, until he stopped in front of a small clay figurine shop.

Shen Jinghe let go of his hand, glanced at him with a smile, then lowered his head and whispered instructions in the ear of the clay figure old man.Liang Yan couldn't hear his deliberately lowered voice, but just looked back at him for a moment, waiting to see what he was going to do.

After finishing speaking, the old man nodded understandingly, took out a pinch of clay from the small bucket, stirred and beat it, and then kneaded it carefully with his hands, and from time to time carefully carved the lines on it with a thin bamboo stick.

At the beginning, Liang Yan couldn't see what the old man was making, until the clay in his hands gradually took shape, and he carefully painted it with pastels, and finally revealed the final product——

Shen Jinghe paid the money, smiled and took the dried clay man crane, took Liang Yan's hand, and placed it gently in his palm.

"Here, I owe you a gift in return."

He looked straight at Liang Yan with his eyes, which were bright, intertwined with some inexplicable emotions.

Liang Yan stared blankly at the lifelike crane in his palm, it was very light, but he felt a heavy piece in his heart, full of joy and relief that he had never had before.

Shen Jinghe lowered his head, and stretched out his fingers to pluck the crane's wings, his ears were slightly red.

"...I can't fly away."

The whisper was not loud, but it aroused wave after wave of wanton and turbulent emotions in Liang Yan's heart, stirring his whole mind.He felt that his fingertips were trembling slightly, and the corners of his eyes were a little dry, which gave him an urge to hug the person in front of him tightly in the next second.

And he did.

Being hugged by Liang Yan into his arms, there was no gap between the two of them for air to flow through, Shen Jinghe only felt that his breathing began to be a little short and unsteady again.He pressed his forehead against Liang Yan's chest, his eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and the familiar aura blowing towards his face made him almost dizzy.

"Little He'er..." Liang Yan's voice was a little hoarse. He tried his best to restrain his emotions, and he did not want to make any more excessive actions, scaring the person in front of him who he had always kept in his heart, "This is me. The best, best gift ever received."

"Thank you."

Liang Yan closed his eyes deeply, he almost had the desire to worship to the sky.How could he, Liang Yan, He De and He Neng, be able to meet a Shen Jinghe from the sea of ​​thousands of people in the world, and get a small place in his heart, engrave his name on it, and accommodate all his cautious approach and uneasy feelings. close.

My heart is full, my eyes are full of him, and only him.

He never believed that he could like someone so much, so much that as long as he looked at him and smiled, he felt that the stars in the sky were also falling into the world in an instant.

Liang Yan took a deep breath, let go of him, bought a mask with blue face and fangs from a nearby shop, and handed it to Shen Jinghe.

The slight heat on Shen Jinghe's face has not faded, he looked at the mask that was suddenly stuffed into his hand in surprise, "This is..."

"You look weak and weak, and others won't dare to bully you if you wear it." Liang Yan seemed to be trying to restrain himself, and just smiled at him lightly.

Shen Jinghe looked at him with some dissatisfaction, "Weak? Others say that I am Xiuzhu, Zhilan Yushu, a gentleman."

Liang Yan looked at him, as if remembering something, with a gentle and moving expression, "In my heart, you will always be that tearful young master by the lotus pond."

How could he still remember so clearly... This hurdle cannot be passed, right?

Shen Jinghe gritted his teeth, but still couldn't help but glared at him, but he couldn't help showing a smile on his face, "The first glance is really important, if I knew I'd be well-dressed and wait for you. I'll wear a jade belt robe, burn incense and play the piano, fold a few more A wind lotus is placed beside the pavilion."

Liang Yan's eyes flickered, he didn't speak, just picked up the mask, and gently covered Shen Jinghe's face with it.

"...No, they love you with extraordinary bearing, but I just want to see the fragile but real you. In front of me, you don't need to hold on."

The cold bronze mask tightly covered his face, only two holes were left in front of his eyes, allowing Shen Jinghe to see Liang Yan's deep black eyes.

He felt like he couldn't take his eyes off again.

The mask isolated the whole world, and finally allowed him to be alone with his own heart.He wanted to take one more look, but Liang Yan had already reached out and tightly covered the eyes of the mask.

Under the darkness, the sense of touch around the body became more acute.He clearly felt Liang Yan leaning over slightly, approaching him slowly but firmly, until the familiar breath once again surrounded him from head to toe.

The mask sank almost imperceptibly, as if the lightest falling snow had blown by, turning into hazy moonlight and dissipating on the face.

Dragonfly.

Shen Jinghe felt that his whole body was trembling uncontrollably - should he know what it is?He clearly knew what it was...

However, he didn't have the heart to distinguish at all, or it was too late to distinguish.He could only pant quickly, tightly closed his eyes in the mask, and let himself be immersed in the numbness and throbbing that spread from the bottom of his heart to his limbs and bones.

Liang Yan gently took off his mask, and under the mask, Shen Jinghe slowly opened his eyes, looking straight at him with a pair of eyes moist with water.

He stroked his face tenderly.

The lights shine brightly in your eyes.Since then, I have something to protect.
