Envy

Except for the occasional commotion in the middle of the night, Meng Tou pestered Yan Zhaohan to do some unspeakable things.Generally speaking, he is very stable.That night, he suddenly wanted to go out to eat noodles.

These days when Xue Ye and the others came, Meng Tou led them around every day, feeling very excited.At night, his interest still persisted, and he leaned against Yan Zhaohan's side and asked, "Shall we go out for some supper?"

Yan Zhaohan didn't feel empty in his stomach, and he didn't have the habit of eating supper, he just went for a walk with him when he was awake.

There is a noodle stall on the corner.The aroma in the air is mouth-watering.Meng Tou sat down with Yan Zhaohan and ordered a bowl of mutton noodles.A few steps away, there is a noisy night market full of people.There was a lantern festival that day, so he just remembered.

The stall owner was of a certain age, with his sleeves rolled up, and his clothes were stained. He greeted them warmly, and even gave them two extra plates.The bowl of noodle soup was sprinkled with scallions.Yan Zhaohan didn't eat green onions, so Meng Tou put the hot noodles in a plate to cool down, and picked up all the green onions with chopsticks before feeding them into his mouth.

"Is it spicy?"

Yan Zhaohan swallowed, "It's okay."

"I think back in the past, the food in Mu Mi's dining hall was unpalatable. I ran out over the wall with Xue Ye and the others at night just to eat a bowl of noodles in Zhao Lin. At that time, there were senior brothers patrolling the city, and the few of us hid Eating bowls of noodles whole at the noodle stall against the wall is like being desperate." Meng Tou tasted the noodle soup, which was a bit spicy.

Yan Zhaohan chuckled, "Shen Gui's food is delicious."

"Shen Gui's food is good. You are angry with me, right?" Meng Tou put noodles on the plate, "In the past, I was eagerly looking forward to going to Shen Gui again, all because of the food there."

Meng Tou watched him eat half a bowl of noodles, took his hand after paying the bill, and led him to the noisy street.Yan Zhaohan asked, "Where does third brother want to go?"

"Itchy, I want to go to the Lantern Festival. If you get sleepy later, let me know, and we'll go back right away." Meng Tou was in a great mood as he played with that suet-like hand.

He squeezed Yan Zhaohan into the crowd, looking for interesting places.The dim light of the lanterns illuminates the faces of strangers walking towards them.Everyone jostles shoulder to shoulder.Yan Zhaohan swam with Meng Tou, feeling like a drowning fish.

At the lantern festival, it is natural to guess lantern riddles.For Meng Tou, this is a breeze.Instead, he found it boring, and distributed the small objects he won to the passing children.But later, he met his opponent and met a talented girl.

The girl had beautiful eyebrows and lively eyes. She was wearing a short white cloak embroidered with flowers, and she was accompanied by a little maid.Her demeanor is elegant, her voice is melodious and crisp, and she looks calm and relaxed when facing the riddle.

They fought for thirty rounds, and their strength was evenly matched.The stall owner wanted to cry but had no tears: "You two, do me a favor and save the little one a way out." They just gave up.

Meng Tou gave the rabbit lamp he won to the girl.He was already good-looking, and with a gentle smile holding a lamp, anyone would be moved.She asked shyly, "Can I go to the Lantern Festival with you tomorrow?"

He still smiled: "I'm sorry girl, my wife is watching closely, so I'm sorry." He walked into the crowd with Yan Zhaohan, without turning back a step.

The little servant girl looked around on tiptoe: "Such a good-looking young master, is he already married?" She turned her head and saw her young lady's disappointed expression, so she quickly shut up and stopped talking.

After walking a certain distance, Yan Zhaohan approached him, his voice was clear amidst the noise of the crowd: "Did you have a good chat with other girls?"

Meng Tou apologized with a smile, took him to a sugar painting stall, and asked for a rabbit.The master is skillful, and the sugar painting is also lovely.They walked along the street, Yan Zhaohan bit the rabbit's ear a little.His black hair hung on his shoulders, and his expression was gentle.

Meng Tou lowered his head slowly, approached, approached, and pressed his forehead against his forehead, and then let out a "wow": "It's stuck to the hair."

Yan Zhaohan: "..."

As a result, before he took a few bites, the piece of candy was thrown away.Meng Tou said guiltily that he would buy another piece tomorrow, and walked home holding his hand.

At that time, the flow of people dwindled, but the street was still very crowded. I don't know who it was, and when it passed by his side, it didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.He subconsciously called "Meng Tou".Meng Tou gave a brisk "hmm" without noticing it.

He smiled: "It's okay, just a little sleepy, let's go back soon."

Walking under the bridge, Meng Tou bumped into Meng Xi and the others.Meng Xi set up lanterns by the water, Xue Ye and Huo Zhi accompanied her.He took Yan Zhaohan over to say hello.

When Meng Tou and Huo Zhi met, they felt a little strange and alienated, so they didn't talk much.He and Xue Ye were still the same, and exchanged a few words with each other shoulder to shoulder.

Holding up her skirt, Meng Xi stood up, called her brother a few times with a smile, and invited him to put the lotus lantern together.She said: "You can write your wish on a piece of paper and put it in the lantern, so that the water god will realize your wish when it sees it."

Meng Tou laughed at her: "Three-year-olds only believe it, but you are eighteen, and you still believe it."

Meng Xi was so angry that he wanted to splash water on his face.

Having said that, he stopped when he saw a stall selling Kongming lanterns at another street corner.Sitting at the small table provided by the stall, he wrote down his wish.He took Yan Zhaohan to fly paper lanterns and watched his lanterns melt into thousands of Kongming lanterns.

The closer they got to their door, the more deserted it became.When Meng Tou lowered his head and kissed him, a firework exploded in the sky.The whole town was immersed in joy.The people on the other side of the street are lively and lively.

One after another, gorgeous fireworks outline the cool night sky.Meng Tou leaned into his ear and said, "I wrote to wish you a safe life, but I don't know if it will work or not." His voice suddenly softened in the last sentence, Yan Zhaohan knew that sentence was very important, but he His hearing failed again in an instant.He couldn't hear the noisy sounds in the distance, the sound of fireworks blooming.

Dead silence.

Yan Zhaohan didn't panic this time, he tugged on Meng Tou's sleeve and hugged him tightly: "Me too."

Meng Tou rested his hand on his waist.He tenderly kissed the tip of Yan Zhaohan's ear.
