Born of Worry

"Mo asked, where are we going to set off the fireworks?"

"Find a place where no one is around."

"Why go to a place where no one is around? Isn't it more lively when there are more people?"

"There are too many people." Mo Wen held his hand tightly to prevent him from running around again, "Have you forgotten your identity? Are you afraid of being recognized as an ornamental object?"

Li Xianbian pursed his lips and said in dissatisfaction: "Really, I haven't been recognized after I have been out for so long... Besides, I don't usually go out of the palace very often, how many people know me?"

"Huh? Last Mid-Autumn Festival, didn't you show up in front of so many people?"

Li Xian's eyes drifted a little, "It's so far away... I can't see clearly."

Mo Wen smiled, and finally found a relatively quiet alley, hung up the firecrackers, put the fireworks aside first, took out the fire folder, and asked Li Xian, "Do you light it, or should I light it?"

"I'll order it!" Li Xian volunteered and ignited the fire, and Mo Wen said again: "Be careful."

Li Xian used the firecracker to light the firecrackers, then immediately backed away and hid directly behind Mo Wen, covering his ears, but he didn't hear the firecrackers exploding. Looking around, he found that they were not lit at all.

"Fool," Mo Wen sneered, "what are you doing running so fast, nothing is lit."

"..."

"I'll do it." This time Mo Wen went into battle himself, and finally managed to ignite the firecrackers. Just after the first sound, Li Xian yelled and covered his ears tightly. Mo Wen stepped back, looking at him helplessly, Said: "What are you afraid of?"

The sound of firecrackers was deafening, Li Xian could only see his mouth moving, but couldn't hear what he said, and said loudly: "You-said-what-what-?!"

"I said, are you—afraid—what—what—"

"I-I'm not-afraid-!"

"Then-you-run-what-what?"

Li Xian didn't speak any more, just stared intently at the crackling, burning and jumping firecrackers.

It took a while for the firecrackers to finally burn out. Li Xian let go of his hands and let out a breath, "It's finally quiet."

Mo Wen rubbed his hair and said with a smile, "Is it fun?"

"Fun. Shall we light the fireworks too?"

"Okay." Mo Wen set up the firework stand, ignited it, and pulled Li Xian to stand a little further away, then heard a "swoosh", a firework shot up into the sky and exploded in the air.Immediately afterwards, another one, two, one after another, dyed a small piece of sky colorful.

Li Xian was stunned, watching the fireworks in the sky flickering, rising and falling, blooming and extinguishing, wondering what kind of magical power could be so captivating.Until Mo Wen blocked his sight and pressed a kiss on his forehead, he was still wandering in a daze.

Mo Wen looked at him, couldn't help feeling very funny, and kissed his lips further, Li Xian finally came back to his senses, shrinking his neck, "Um... what are you doing?"

Mo Wen didn't speak, pressed him against the wall, lowered his head, skillfully pried open his lips and teeth and continued to kiss deeply.

Li Xian didn't have any precautions, and he didn't expect that this stinky dragon would dare to do such a thing in broad daylight...not only Tianhuayue, but he was very nervous for a while, and even forgot to breathe.

It took a while for Mo Wen to let go of him. Li Xian was panting, unable to control his limp legs, and sat down on the ground.

"Why, can't this work?"

Li Xian didn't want to talk to him, and sat on the ground to catch his breath.The fireworks had also come to an end, the last one dyed the sky, and after a few seconds of silence, a stream of sparks shot out from the firework seat, about half a foot high, splashed in all directions, and disappeared in an instant. flower.

Mo Wen leaned down and called him, "Xiao Xian."

"what?"

"Angry?"

"...Not at all."

Mo Wen smiled, "Xiao Xian, didn't you say before that you wanted to ride a dragon?"

Li Xian was a little surprised, "Will you ride for me?"

"Well...you close your eyes."

"Ah? Oh..." Li Xian closed his eyes, only to feel a gust of wind blowing, and then opened his eyes, but saw a black dragon lying on the ground, the dragon's head was in front of him, and the black dragon's eyes reflected slightly starlight.He couldn't help stroking the black dragon's hard scales, and tugged at his beard, and said, "Mo Wen, I think you've become smaller and cuter."

"..."

The dragon-shaped Mo Wen didn't seem to want to talk much, so he just let him fumble around, occasionally flicking his tail to show that he was still in shape.

Li Xian leaned on him, and he could feel his not-so-soft back through his clothes.There was still the sound of firecrackers in the distance. He looked up at the sky, trying to find a few stars covered by the night, but he was confused by the rising and falling fireworks and couldn't find them.

"Little Xian..."

Mo Wen Long Xing's voice was deeper than usual, and Li Xian was not used to it, so it took two seconds for him to react: "...huh?"

"Come up."

"Do you want to fly with me? Yes, yes!"

Li Xian grabbed Mo Wen's neck and climbed onto his back, stretched out his hands to grab his two black jade-like dragon horns, and sat down firmly. Mo Wen jumped up, rose from the ground, and flew towards the boundless night sky.

This may be the first time for Li Xian to overlook Weiyang City. Even though the winter night is still cold, the warmth in his heart is like the lights of thousands of houses in this city, which stay on all night long.

The wind at high altitude was still strong, Li Xian hugged Mo Wen's neck tightly, his excitement overcame his fear, making him keep looking down, even the blooming fireworks crawled under their feet, and they hadn't returned home in the streets and alleys The people in the city have turned into tiny black spots that cannot be seen clearly, and the ice surface of the Wei River in the distance is glowing with silver light, only the lit firecrackers and lights still dye the capital city with the noisy colors of the New Year.

So... is this his Weiyang City...

So familiar... yet so unfamiliar Weiyang City...

Mo Wen was only concentrating on flying, he couldn't see Li Xian's expression, and he didn't try to pry into what he was thinking in his heart. Naturally, he didn't know that the young emperor had silently made an oath in his heart:

He wants to guard this city, guard this side of water and soil, guard this whole world, and all the people in this world.

Even with his not-so-broad shoulders, he still had to shoulder the responsibility that belonged to him, the emperor.

"...Mo asked."

"Ok?"

"I'm a little tired, shall we go back and eat dumplings?"

"it is good."

Mo Wen stopped circling, turned the dragon's head, and flew towards the direction it came from.
