Affectionate

Looking at the fallen men all over the ground, Tuantuan was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, "Then what are you going to do now? Go back to the mountain?" She pursed her lips and said, "They won't just... die, right? "

Yu Shuman shook her head, "If there is no accident, I will wake up after a few hours of sleep, and I will forget what happened tonight when I wake up." She looked at the flickering lights outside the window, "Don't you want to Do you want to watch the Lantern Festival? You should enjoy it better on the boat.”

Tuantuan nodded, and pulled Yu Shuman towards the stand.The two stopped behind the side of the boat, watching the lanterns flickering and flickering on the lake.

"It's so beautiful..." Tuantuan sighed, "I heard from Li Niang that most women would write their wishes on paper and put them in the lantern. If the lantern floats with the water to a distant place, the wish will be fulfilled." She put her hands together. With her cheeks propped up, her black water eyes stared at the lantern on the water, her voice envious, "I want to make a wish too, but I don't have a lantern."

Yu Shuman turned her head to look at Tuan Tuan, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from her waist pocket and put them in Tuan Tuan's hands.Seeing Tuantuan staring at her blankly, Yu Shuman said, "Since wishes can be fulfilled by floating away with the water, then if wishes can be realized by flying up into the sky, they will naturally be fulfilled."

Although Tuantuan didn't know what "flying up into the sky" looked like, but looking at Sister Yu's serious eyes, she couldn't help but clenched the pen and paper, and her ears turned slightly red.Sister Yu... Do you also want to help her realize her wish?If Sister Yu is willing, her wish will come true in an instant.She wrote her wish on the paper with trembling fingers, and asked with a pen, "Sister Yu has any wish? We can..."

After hearing this, Yu Shuman was lost for a moment.She has lived for so many years, almost without any desires and desires, and has nothing she wants.She quickly came back to her senses, and shook her head from Tuantuan, "Have you finished writing your wish?"

Tuantuan nodded, and tightened his fingers holding the paper with the wish written, "It's finished." She pursed her lips a little shyly, "Sister Yu, do you want to see it?"

Seeing the eagerness in Tuantuan's eyes, Yu Shuman couldn't help but froze.Wishes cannot be seen by other people, if they are seen, they will not work... This is a "custom" passed down by human beings.But Yu Shuman didn't understand this, and she nodded as she would hardly reject Tuantuan.So she took the tissue paper from Tuantuan's hand.

"Tuantuan is willing to marry Sister Yu as his wife."

The words on the paper are neat and beautiful.It's just the last stroke of the word "wife", slightly distorted because of shyness or excitement.

Seeing Yu Shuman take the paper, Tuantuan stared at her face, unwilling to let go of any change in her mood.If Sister Yu is a little loose, she will firmly seize the opportunity.

But... no.

After watching Yu Shuman calmly return the note to her, her heart became sore and her eye circles suddenly turned red.

"Sister Yu... don't you have anything to say?" Tuantuan held back his crying, looked at Yu Shuman and said every word.

"The handwriting is very good. It seems that you have been practicing hard." Yu Shuman replied.

"Only, only this one sentence? Is sister Yu unwilling to fulfill my wish?" After finishing speaking, Tuantuan quickly bit her lips tightly, fearing that she would cry out.

"If you are a husband and wife, you must have love. But I am not a human being, and I don't understand love." Yu Shuman's voice was very calm.After finishing speaking, she saw that Tuantuan was already in tears, but she didn't make the slightest sound, blood was faintly appearing on her lips.

Yu Shuman sighed inexplicably, she raised her hand and gently touched Tuantuan's cheek, her voice softened a bit, "Why do I still love to cry like when I was a child?"

Hearing Sister Yu's gentle coaxing, Tuantuan couldn't bear it anymore.Holding Yu Shuman's waist tightly, she leaned against her neck and cried, "I'm crying because Sister Yu rejected me... I don't like to cry." After she finished speaking, she continued to cry He muttered: "But if Sister Yu agrees to me, I will definitely cry with joy..."

"So I still have to cry, what a little crying bag." Yu Shuman took her words, and patted Tuantuan's back in a very unfamiliar way.

"It's all my sister Yu's fault...I hate you the most." Tuantuan couldn't hold back her tears after being comforted, "I hate that Sister Yu is too beautiful, too gentle, too lovable..." She sobbed, softly The voice overturned the previous words, "Sister Yu, I like you so much... Even if I can't marry Sister Yu, I will stay by Sister Yu's side for the rest of my life."

"Maybe Sister Yu suddenly wants to get married one day, and then she will think of me the first time."

Not only a little crying bag, but also a capricious little liar.Yu Shuman patted Tuantuan on the back, quietly listening to her slandering herself.After a while, Tuantuan calmed down and rubbed Yu Shuman's neck affectionately.She reluctantly let go of Yu Shuman, and handed the paper with wishes to Yu Shuman, "Sister Yu, I want to make a wish." There was a bit of piety in her hoarse voice, "Maybe I will make a wish." After making a wish, Sister Yu will change her mind."

"There are no lanterns or Kongming lanterns. How can I... tell my wishes to the gods who can help human beings realize their wishes?"

Yu Shuman raised her hand to brush the eyes of Tuantuan, touched the white paper again, and said, "Throw it out."

Without the slightest hesitation, Tuantuan threw the paper overboard.Seeing the white paper that was supposed to be falling freely, it seemed to be pulled by something and flew into the sky.Tuantuan's eyes followed the white paper all the way up, and then saw the stars spontaneously mobilized, gradually "drawing" into a "painting".

"This is..." Tuantuan stopped crying again, but this time it was not because of sadness, but because of joy.Because of joy and emotion, she was a little speechless.Even if elder sister Yu didn't like her that much, she would always look at her.

The picture painted by the stars is the "Snake and Rabbit Playing Picture" that Tuantuan asked the old man to draw before.

"Do you like it?" Yu Shuman asked, but when she turned her eyes, she saw red circles around her eyes again.She raised her eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled, "Don't like it?"

"No!" Tuantuan was afraid that Yu Shuman might misunderstand, so he quickly replied: "This is crying with joy, because I like it so much and I am so moved."

After she finished speaking, she replied a little shyly, "I like it very much."

Tuantuan stared at the "painting" in the sky for a long time, then turned his eyes to Yu Shuman and said, "Since I sent the paper with my wish to the sky, will my wish...have a chance to come true? "

"Perhaps." Yu Shuman no longer dared to say anything. If she made Tuantuan cry again, she would have to comfort her for a while, so she chose an ambiguous statement.At least... Tuantuan can still get a little "hope"?

"En." Tuantuan got this answer, and as expected, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his voice became sweeter.

"Sister Yu, do you think...there are gods in the sky?" Tuantuan asked suddenly.

"Of course there are." Yu Shuman replied slowly: "They are only high above the ground, and they seldom set foot in the mortal world."

Tuantuan was in a daze, and after a while, he responded in a low voice and stopped talking.

Late at night, people also scattered.Even during the festive season, the number of people is slowly decreasing.

"Sister Yu, let's go home too." Tuantuan pulled Sister Yu spontaneously, but when they passed by a few people who were still asleep, Tuantuan suddenly said: "Why don't you throw them into the water to 'wake up'."

Yu Shuman nodded, "Yes." After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves lightly, and several people stood up with their eyes closed, and jumped into the icy lake one by one.

But for a moment, cursing voices sounded in the lake, and Tuantuan pursed his lips into a smile, and pulled Yu Shuman out of the boat.

"Yaqin, go back." Pei Huaijie held Ruan Yaqin in one arm and the child in the other.

Ruan Yaqin nodded, but froze in the next moment, her hand tightly held Pei Huaijie's palm, "Then, is that Yayu?" After her long-lost sister left without saying goodbye , she searched hard for a long time, but there was no news.Coupled with the birth of the child, her energy was occupied by the child, and she didn't have much time to find her sister.

"Ya Yu!" Ruan Yaqin wanted to catch up, but was blocked by the crowd, but after a while, the somewhat familiar figure disappeared in front of her eyes.Ruan Yaqin's fingers trembled slightly, "My sister...she must have been adopted by someone nearby." Otherwise, why would the meeting be near the town after a few years.Just for some reason, I haven't been able to find it.

Pei Huaijie stepped forward and hugged Ruan Yaqin, "Don't worry, since it's in the town, you can always find it." His eyes flickered, "Why don't you ask the people around Mrs. Ruan?" It's better than you being so sad .

Ruan Yaqin hesitated, "It's not that I haven't asked her, but her mouth is too hard... Even if she is bribed with money, she still can't speak."

Pei Huaijie smiled, "Don't worry, I'll find a way."
