Shimmer Forest

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend others." Su Jin shrugged indifferently, and when she looked at Wu Hao, there was a sly smile in her eyes: "Besides, I've always acted appropriately, right?"

As one of the people who is often beaten, Wu Hao somewhat understands Wang Xiaoer's mood.Although Su Jin looked weak, he always had an indifferent appearance.But once revenge or playing tricks, those dangerous eyes and sly smiles always reveal an irresistible, magical beauty.

Wu Hao touched his nose subconsciously, until he was sure that there was no nosebleed, then he looked away embarrassingly: "Okay, okay, I'm convinced."

As if knowing what he was thinking, Su Jin responded with an unclear smile, and then set his sights on the bustling market.

Red lanterns are hung on the doors of every household, and couplets in gold letters on red paper are neatly pasted.The windows are covered with colorful window grilles, complicated and gorgeous.There are small stalls on both sides of the road, and people are hurrying through the stalls to buy ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner.The air is filled with the aroma of food, making people salivate.

The sound of firecrackers resounds in my ears, the continuous crisp sound of hanging whips and the fierce sound of double-blow firecrackers are intertwined, announcing the arrival of the New Year all the time.There are many fireworks placed on the square in the middle of the village, preparing to stage a symphony of fire trees and silver flowers when night falls.

Those aliens who lived in the mountains for a long time were also attracted by this lively scene and came to the village one after another.Many people in strange costumes and masks walked back and forth on the street.Because others can't see it, they make trouble unscrupulously.

"Stupid, what are you looking at?" Seeing him staring at the street in a daze, Wu Hao couldn't help stretching out his hand and shaking it in front of him, asking suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I just feel that there are more guests in the village." Su Jin withdrew his gaze, and a soft smile gradually appeared on the corners of his lips.The breeze lifted his soft hair curtains, and what those clear eyes were looking at was something far away and beautiful that did not belong to the world.

Wu Hao seemed to have understood the deep meaning in his words, so he stopped asking, and took his hand and devoted himself to the lively and festive atmosphere.

There was a sweet and greasy smell from the stalls not far away. Looking at the source of the fragrance, he saw sugar sculptures made of maltose, shining attractively in the sun.Wu Hao's saliva almost stayed, and he dragged Su Jin all the way to the booth.

It was the sugar-turning booth that Aunt Wang opened for fun, and many children gathered around here, waiting to turn the delicate turntable.Various animals are painted on the edge of the turntable, and there is a flexible pointer in the middle.Toggle the pointer, whichever you turn it will make the candy look like that animal.The faces of the children were all red, their eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety, hoping that they could draw the most powerful dragon or phoenix, and their clenched palms were full of sweat.If you get an ordinary animal, you will take the sugar figurine in disappointment or atmosphere amidst the booing of everyone, and then eat it indignantly.

"Yo, you guys are here too?" Wang Xiaoer saw the two people who kept rushing into the crowd, and came over to say hello meanly, with snot still on his face.

"Why is it you again?" Wu Hao became 12 vigilant when he saw him, his brows furious.

"What's wrong with me? I didn't say hello to you again, so don't come up to me." Seeing his hostile attitude, Wang Xiaoer naturally pushed back not to be outdone.

"Don't talk like anyone wants to talk to you!" Resisting the urge to punch him, Wu Hao's anger turned into a mocking smile after seeing the bird sugar figure in his hand: "Why, such luck Bad, all the smokers are birds?"

"Stop looking down on people, this is just a warm-up!" Wang Xiaoer became furious after being poked at the sore spot by the words, "I'm going to draw a dragon soon!"

"Is it~?" Deliberately prolonging the tone of the inquiry, Wu Hao squinted his eyes and looked at him with a suspicious look on his face.

"Hmph! Otherwise, who will draw the dragon first!" Being scorned by his arch-enemy, Wang Xiaoer became even more angry, provoking: "The loser is a puppy!"

"Just compare, who's afraid of you!" Wu Hao had already seen him as disliked, rolled up his sleeves and was about to start smoking.

Surrounded by booing children.Su Jin didn't care about the heated quarrel between the two friends over there, but just stood leisurely outside the crowd, watching them with a smile.

The thin blue long sleeves brushed over the corners of the eyes, and the touch was cold and gentle, bringing a sense of nostalgic familiarity.He was startled, and suddenly turned his head, only to see the bustling and noisy crowd.

"You read it wrong..." He squinted his eyes, trying to identify something among the passing and dense crowd, and muttered to himself.

"Bookworm, come and smoke!" Wu Hao dragged him into the crowd, eagerly urging him, forcing him to join the battle.

Su Jin originally wanted to complain, but what do you two bet on me?But when he saw Wang Xiaoer staring at him with a snot in his nose, he was extremely upset.

Turning the turntable casually, everyone quieted down in unison, staring at the constantly rotating pointer.The pointer turned a few times quickly, became slower and slower, and finally fixed on the dragon-shaped pattern.

After a few seconds of silence, cheers erupted from the group of children.Aunt Wang neatly made a dragon-shaped Tang man, and handed it to Su Jin under the envious eyes of everyone: "This is the first dragon today, good luck!"

The fortune is really good, just turn around and you will be a dragon.Su Jin was muttering in his heart, seeing Wu Hao beside him with his eyes drooling, he handed the candy figurine to him without any hassle: "Give it to you."

"Yeah! You're a nerd!" Wu Hao hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, took the candy man and started to eat happily.Wang Xiaoer, who was surrounded by friends and called puppies, felt even more sad, and ran away whimpering again.

Wu Hao didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and the sugar man grabbed Su Jin and ran to another booth: "Study, there are balloons over there!"

Wu Hao's strength made his wrist hurt. Su Jin gritted his teeth, scolding the muscular man who can only use brute force, and just wanted to teach him a lesson, but seeing his happy look, he let go of his fist silently.

After all, today is New Year's Eve, so it's rare that the village is so lively.So, forget it.Su Jin thought so.

"Hey, baby, are you here to play with balloons?" Uncle Sun, the fish seller, was smoking a pipe leisurely, and when he saw the two of them rushing over, he cracked his yellow teeth happily.

"Study, what prize do you want?" Small, colorful balloons formed a circle on the wall a few meters away.There are various prize boxes in front of him, and the boxes are filled with corresponding reward items.Wu Hao turned his head and asked excitedly. Before he could answer, he bent down to read the reward note written on the prize box: "Five for red envelopes, ten for keychains, fifteen for puppets..."

"Pfft..." Wu Hao suddenly couldn't help laughing while thinking about it, held up a black husky keychain, and shook it in front of Su Jin's eyes: "This one looks a bit like you... "

Before he finished speaking, a sharp light shot out from Su Jin's eyes. He quickly put the keychain back and said in a panic, "Uh... I'm just joking..."

Su Jin glared at him, raised the keychain and looked around.The cute husky tilted his head and spit out his little pink tongue, looking extremely cute.His anger disappeared immediately, and he seemingly casually put the keychain on his finger: "Just this one."

"Huh?" Wu Hao was already prepared to be beaten, but he didn't expect the other party to let him go so easily, and he couldn't recover for a while.

"If you can't hit—" The conversation changed, and Su Jin's seemingly bright smile was instantly overshadowed, and even his words were covered with a threatening atmosphere: "You should know your fate?"

"Oh? One, I'll definitely hit it!" Frightened into a cold sweat by his sunny smile, Wu Hao quickly echoed, tremblingly picked up the dart and threw it.

After five crisp balloon shattering sounds, there was the sound of darts chopping on the foam board.Twenty darts were thrown out, no more, no less, and exactly five balloons were shattered.

"It's pretty good, as expected of a muscular man." Su Jin stuffed the keychain into his pocket in satisfaction, and didn't forget to run on him even if he won.

"Strange...my accuracy isn't that bad..." Wu Hao wanted to show off all 20 darts to the opponent, but he slipped his hand a few times and just hit five darts.As if some invisible force deliberately made his dart deviate from the direction.

"Don't complain if you don't have good skills." Although Su Jin knew in his heart that Wu Hao's muscular man had always hit the mark with every shot, but who didn't have slippery hands?Anyway, he got everything he wanted, and he didn't bother to think about anything else.

"It was hand slipping just now, I'll do it again!" He felt a little bit unwilling to be told by Su Jin, so he bought another 20 darts to show the other party his skills.

"Okay, let's win 5 more and make a pair with my key chain." Su Jin stuffed his hands into his pockets, looked at him with a suspicious face, and said casually.

Looking at his smile, Wu Hao fell into a tangle.Is it to let the other party see his 100% ability?Or use a couple keychain with Su Jin?

Holding up the dart, he hesitated for a long time, but Uncle Sun saw his hesitation, grinned and said, "If you hit all, I can give you an extra keychain."

Wu Hao immediately burst into joy, thinking that I really love you, Uncle Sun, so he focused on throwing darts.Unexpectedly, the situation this time was the same as last time. After hitting five consecutive darts, all the other darts missed.

"I said... Uncle Sun..." Wu Hao looked at the smiling man smoking a cigarette with a dark face, and asked with the corners of his mouth twitching, "You didn't do anything, did you?"

"Little baby, what nonsense are you talking about? What kind of person is your Uncle Sun?" Uncle Sun feigned anger, and knocked his cigarette pouch on the chair next to him: "Don't blame me for not being accurate enough!"
