That night Bai Yan climbed up to the eaves of the firewood house. He stole a jug of wine and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from somewhere. He sat on the eaves, admiring the moon, and having supper.

While eating comfortably, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a thin figure in the courtyard setting up a Kongming lantern. That woman was none other than Li Huailuo. She held the lantern with both hands, and the lantern rose slowly until it finally rose into the clear night.

Bai Yan sat on the eaves, squinting his eyes at the words on the lantern. After reading for a long time, he finally saw the words clearly: 福.

He lowered his head, and by coincidence, he met Li Huailuo's extremely light-colored eyes. For a while, the breeze was a little warm.

Li Huailuo took the initiative to wave to him, signaling him to go down, but Bai Yan didn't shirk, and drank the wine in the flagon in one gulp, and with a flick of the flagon, jumped down the eaves with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Li Huailuo took advantage of the moonlight to see his face clearly, and said: "You are the servant who came with A'an today."

Bai Yan nodded, and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard as if familiar, and ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, while Li Huailuo sat beside him, Bai Yan gave her a piece, and said with a smile: "It's delicious. "

Li Huailuo looked at the pastry, then at him, and ate it with a little hesitation. Before swallowing a bite, she rolled her eyes with a smile, "It's delicious."

Seeing her bright smile, Bai Yan raised the corners of his mouth, and handed her another piece, which Li Huailuo readily accepted.

The first conversation between Bai Yan and Li Huailuo was because of a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

For a long time afterwards, Bai Yan would sneak into the firewood room late at night to bring Li Huailuo some food. Gradually, he became more familiar with Li Huailuo than Li An.

Li An is not a fool, Bai Yan smiled every day, she knew that she might have a sweetheart, and for a while, she began to feel a little uneasy.

Today, Bai Yan went to the kitchen to steal a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Li Huailuo said that her favorite was sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Thinking of her faint smile, Bai Yan laughed unconsciously.

Bai Yan stole the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and waited until midnight. In the middle of the night, he found the old way and sneaked into Li Huailuo's yard. Li Huailuo was watering the flowers at this time. Her thin hair was hanging down on her forehead, which was really pretty.

Li Huailuo also heard Bai Yan's footsteps, she got up and smiled, "You're here."

With a smile on the corner of Bai Yan's mouth, he let go of his usual carelessness, shook the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, and said, "I specially brought you sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

When Li Huailuo heard the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, her eyes lit up, and Bai Yan joked, "You have to know, your brother Bai Yan stole it himself! If you eat it, you will be responsible for it!"

Li Huailuo smiled, eyes full of tenderness: "Then I really thank Mr. Bai."

The two chatted happily, but Li An, who was hiding aside, saw this, the lunch box in her hand had already slipped to the ground, she turned and left quickly.

On the second day, Bai Yan's face was still full of joy, Li An's eyes dimmed when he saw this.

Bai Yan hummed a little song and walked ahead, thinking about what to bring Li Huailuo tonight.

The sleeve suddenly seemed to be pulled by someone, Bai Yan turned around and found that the person was Li An, Bai Yan said: "Second Miss, what's wrong?"

Li An said: "Bai Yan, let me ask you a question."

Bai Yan hummed, motioning for her to continue talking.

Li An didn't let go of Bai Yan's sleeve, but she made a little more effort and said, "Bai Yan, do you have someone you like?"

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Li An's hand holding his sleeve trembled subconsciously, and said: "Can't you care about the important things in my life?"

Bai Yan said: "Oh." He thought to himself: I didn't expect Li An to be so kind?

Li An's voice became a little anxious, and he said, "Is there any?"

Bai Yan raised his head and thought, there seems to be no one he likes...or there seems to be, for example, Li Huailuo?

Bai Yan said: "Yes."

Li An's heart turned cold, but he still insisted on smiling, and said, "Really! Whose girl?! How is it?"

Bai Yan rubbed his chin and began to find some words to describe Li Huailuo. He smiled brightly: "She has a pair of very light-colored pupils, always very gentle, and she doesn't complain when encountering big things. She is like a snack. I like eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it looks silly and stupid..."

"Hey... hey! Enough is enough, do you want to torture your boss to death!" Li An interrupted him, his face turning pale.

Bai Yan said: "Who told you that you haven't thought about getting married yet? Someone as old as you has already given birth to a litter of children..."

Li An said: "Shut up! If you don't shut up, I'll beat you up!...I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Li An pushed away Bai Yan who was standing in front of him in a messy footstep, and rushed out.

Bai Yan scratched his head, was he really tortured to death?

Li An ran around like a mindless fly. From the first sentence she heard, she knew that he was talking about Li Huailuo. She felt a little sour and a little...unwilling?

"A'an?" A clear male voice sounded from above his head.

Li An raised his head, it was Bai Zhaoli.

Li An sniffed his nose twice and said, "Senior Brother Leng."

Looking at his flushed eyes, Bai Zhaoli guessed that something happened to her and she was sad, so she immediately wanted to comfort her: "What's wrong?"

Li An frowned and said: "It's okay."

Bai Zhaoli looked at the top of her head, couldn't help reaching out to rub it, Li Yu was stunned, Bai Zhaoli noticed his mistake, and quickly let go, saying: "Rub it, the mood will change." Get better."

Li An touched the top of her head, stunned, did she feel better?

Though thinking this way in his heart, Li An still forced a smile and said: "Brother, thank you."

Bai Zhaoli was stunned for an instant, her smile brought him back to that snowy winter many years ago, she was wearing a windbreaker, which was really bold.

When Li An was not there, he talked to Bai Zhaoli more, wiped his nose, and left in a hurry.

Bai Zhaoli looked at her receding back, his eyes drooped, he looked down at the palm of his hand that touched his hair just now, and thought to himself: Is it impossible to touch her after all?

The second lady of the Li family is calm. This is a well-known fact, but I don’t know what happened in the past few days. The second lady made frequent mistakes in her work. look.For this reason, the second wife brought Li An to the room, wanting to discuss with her.

In the second lady's room, the maid poured tea for them, then quietly retreated and closed the door.

The second lady took a sip of tea gracefully, and said, "Yu'er, what's the matter these past few days? I heard from your father that you often make mistakes these days?"

Li An lowered his eyes and said perfunctorily: "Mother, I know, I will be serious."

The second madam saw through at a glance that she had something on her mind, she said: "Troubled by love?"

Li An raised her eyes, and her hand holding the teacup stopped for a few seconds. She tried her best to hide her panic, and said, "No."

The second wife said: "Whose family?"

Li An said: "Mother, did I tell you?"

The second lady said: "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Originally, I wanted to help you find out about that kid."

Li An said: "Mother, that's enough, I'll go first." After speaking, she rushed out the door.

Li An's heart was in a mess, she didn't know where she was going, she only knew to rush forward, unexpectedly, she rushed to the servant's room where Bai Yan was.

At this hour, Bai Yan was slacking off, leaning against the threshold with his legs up, his eyes closed, basking in the sun.Bai Yan's brows are very gentle, but also very cold, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, I'm afraid it's him.

Li An's footsteps stopped, and she didn't know whether she should continue walking, hooking shoulders with him like before.

While Li An was thinking, Bai Yan opened his eyes first. He squinted his eyes and saw the girl in black clothes facing the sun. Bai Yan was not a fool. Li An was avoiding him recently. He could clearly see Come out, but unfortunately, he doesn't want to poke it.

"Second Miss!" Bai Yan called out.

Li An came back to his senses, hesitated for a while, then walked towards him, and sat side by side with him in front of the threshold, basking in the sun.

To bask in the sun is to bask in the sun, there is no need to chat, and for a while, the atmosphere is surprisingly quiet.

After a while, Li An's voice came from the air, and she said, "Bai Yan, you can go with me to the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow."

Bai Yan opened his eyes again, and after a long silence, he hummed. Then, he closed his eyes again and rested.

Li An turned her head and peeked at him, she pursed her lips, she felt infinite bitterness in her heart, but she couldn't vent it, she could only digest, digest, and digest...

The Lantern Festival in Wangcheng is really lively, perhaps because it is located in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, so there are many river lanterns, and the lantern festival is crowded with people.

Today's Li An changed from her usual calmness. She wore a long plain dress, which made her very bright.

Li An was waiting for Bai Yan at the appointed place. Seeing that there were more and more people and the streets became more and more lively, he saw Bai Yan in a green shirt. There seemed to be two people beside him. Bai Zhaoli and Li Huailuo.

Bai Yan laughed and waved at her, but Li An was stunned for a long time before waving back to him. From the beginning to the end, her gaze never moved away from the girl in yellow beside Bai Yan. She was still wearing a thin yellow dress, but she was handsome, so no matter how she wore it, she looked good. The three of them walked side by side, Bai Zhaoli was silent, and Bai Yan turned his head to talk and laugh with Li Huailuo. They laughed happily and brightly. The smile made Li An's heart feel like a needle prick.

Li An forced a smile and said, "You, you are finally here."

Bai Yan nodded and said, "If there are more people, you don't mind."

Bai Yan disdained these boring lantern shows. The reason why he came was because of Li An's invitation on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to show Li Huailuo. , couldn't help thinking about it, Bai Yan smiled helplessly, took her hand very naturally, and said, "Be careful, there are too many people."

Li Huailuo instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but when she saw Bai Yan's smile like a spring breeze, she let it go. She smiled, her pale eyes filled with infinite tenderness.

Li An's hands clenched unconsciously, her nails dug into the flesh tightly, she looked at the two as if suffocating, they were a perfect match.

Bai Zhaoli turned to her side and asked, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"

Li An smiled, "It's okay, brother, can you hold my hand?"

Bai Zhaoli was stunned, but turned into unspeakable joy, he said: "Yes, is it possible?"

Li An nodded, and Bai Zhaoli held her hand carefully, with a lot of thoughts in her heart, did she understand her own intentions?

Bai Zhaoli didn't dare to hold Li An tightly, only dared to hook her fingers, Li An seemed to feel his worry, she grabbed his hand fiercely, and in the next second, her steps were brisk. Pulling him to the front of Bai Yan, he smiled and said, "Brother, I want that lantern!"

Bai Zhaoli said: "Okay." After speaking, he was led by Li An to the front of the pavement, Li An leaned over to pick, and Bai Zhaoli stood beside him, watching her choose with a smile.

Suddenly, the smile on the corner of Bai Zhaoli's mouth froze, and Bai Yan also came. He was standing beside Li An, picking out lanterns. Bai Zhaoli turned sideways, and he could clearly see Li An looking into Bai Yan's eyes. With complicated emotions at the time, Bai Zhaoli's hand held by Li An moved, and he basically wanted to pull it back subconsciously, but when Li An turned around and looked at him suspiciously, he suddenly dismissed that thought, His eyes dimmed.

Bai Yan bought the lantern, but that lantern was not for Li An.It was for Li Huailuo.

Bai Yan Xianbao seemed to hand over the lantern to Li Huailuo, but he didn't know what he said, making Li Huailuo laugh.

Li An's hand picking up the lantern stopped, she turned around, let go of Bai Zhaoli's hand, and said: "I'll go back first." The next second, she quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Bai Zhaoli looked at her disappearing back, and the hand he was about to reach out to hold her froze in mid-air, icy cold.

Bai Zhaoli left sadly, he still couldn't touch her.

And Bai Yan here didn't notice their strangeness at all, he was still thinking in his heart that his elder brother should have taken the second young lady into his pocket, and Bai Yan knew that Bai Zhaoli loved Li An, so he hereby borrowed this This time, Bai Zhaoli was invited, just to create opportunities for him. He only asked Bai Zhaoli to be more competitive and not to be so cowardly.
