Gu Lichen quickly pulled Xie Zhanning to look, "Zhanning, the fireworks are set off."

Xie Zhanning looked at the fireworks blooming all over the sky, with a good-looking smile on his face, "It's so beautiful, is this the fireworks?"

The night sky filled with fiery trees and silver flowers lit up the night sky as if it were daytime. Gu Lichen looked at the child beside him who was almost as tall as him, with a sophisticated and deep appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was only in his early fifteen years.

Gu Lichen asked suddenly, "Zhanning, are you happy?"

Xie Zhanning turned his head to look at Gu Lichen, very happy, "Happy! Very, very happy! As long as you are with Master, you can be happy in everything!"

Gu Lichen asked the question casually, never thought that Xie Zhanning would answer it so unabashedly, so he was stunned, "..."

Seeing that Gu Lichen was silent in a daze, Xie Zhanning called out, "Master, Master?"

After a while, Gu Lichen came back to his senses and said, "Master is also very happy with you."

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the moon on August [-]th is surprisingly big and round. After the fireworks, the hustle and bustle dispersed, and the crowds on the street began to rush back one after another.

The moment the fireworks ended, Xie Zhanning suddenly felt extremely lonely, "The lantern festival is over..."

Gu Lichen saw the loneliness on Xie Zhanning's face, and said softly: "This year's lantern festival is over, and next year, every year after that, Master will accompany you to see it, okay?"

After hearing Gu Lichen's words, Xie Zhanning's eyes were filled with twinkling stars again, and he nodded heavily, "En!"

Gu Lichen reached out and touched Xie Zhanning's head, and said softly, "Okay, let's go home too, Master has something else to give you."

Going home, back to their home, Xie Zhanning's heart was about to overflow with warmth, "What is it, Master?"

Gu Lichen pursed his lips and chuckled lightly, "You'll know when you go back."

Xie Zhanning pouted, and then laughed too, "..."

As soon as the two returned to Heguangyuan, Gu Lichen took Xie Zhanning straight to the kitchen.

I saw Gu Lichen looking for something in and out of the kitchen, "Where did you go, I obviously put it here."

Xie Zhanning didn't know what Gu Lichen was looking for, and asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong? What are you looking for?"

Gu Lichen didn't raise his head, and said anxiously: "Before leaving the valley, I obviously made moon balls and put them in the kitchen, why can't I find them?"

Seeing Gu Lichen flustered, Xie Zhanning hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, if you can't find it, don't look for it, I will accompany you to do it again."

Gu Lichen was taken aback for a moment, raised his head, and asked, "You know how to make moon balls?"

Xie Zhanning scratched his head and whispered: "No..."

Seeing Xie Zhanning's stupidity, Gu Lichen smiled and said, "Then, come and help me make a living."

Xie Zhanning had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go, "Master, I have a question."

Gu Lichen said: "What?"

Xie Zhanning said, "Why are your cooking skills so good?"

Gu Lichen paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "When I was young, I often helped my sister. After my sister left, I learned to come here by myself. After a long time, I have acquired this cooking skill without knowing it. .”

Xie Zhanning put his hips on his hips, and said loudly: "Master, let's make more, let Master Gu Zhi and Zhao Hua try it too."

Gu Lichen smiled and said, "Okay, do more."

I saw Xie Zhanning clumsily living the dough, adding dough when it was thin, adding water when it was hard, living it back and forth, and finally turned into a giant.

Xie Zhanning was very tired, so he wiped his face with the back of his hand, "Master, the dough is ready."

"Pfft..." Seeing that Xie Zhanning's cheeks were covered with flour, Gu Lichen couldn't help laughing, "Zhanning, your face."

Xie Zhanning widened his eyes and asked in doubt, "What's wrong with my face?"

Gu Lichen walked over, took out a brocade handkerchief and gently wiped Xie Zhanning's face, "Why do you look like a cat?" The brocade handkerchief brushed over the tip of his nose, and Xie Zhanning couldn't help but sneezed violently. This time, the remaining flour was scattered everywhere, even Gu Lichen's face was stained a lot.

Xie Zhanning was stunned for a moment, and said in a panic, "Master, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it."

Gu Lichen closed his eyes and shook his head lightly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Zhanning who could only see his eyes and nose clearly, "Hahahaha..."

Xie Zhanning saw Gu Lichen laughing so recklessly, and seeing that Gu Lichen, who was always neat and tidy, was covered with white face, couldn't help but also laughed, "Hahaha, Master, your face looks like Flower cat."

Gu Lichen and Xie Zhanning, you looked at me and I looked at you and smiled for a while, until the moon ball came out, Gu Lichen said: "Go and wash your face, we will send you the moon ball to Uncle Zhaohua."

Xie Zhanning nodded and said, "Yes."

The two cleaned up the kitchen, then took the food box and walked towards Zhaohua Hall, but no one in Zhaohua Hall was very quiet at the moment, Xie Zhanning asked, "Where did Master Zhaohua go?"

"I know where he is." Gu Lichen knew that Fu Zhaohua must have gone to accompany Gu Zhi, but he didn't expect that he hadn't come back at this hour.

Gu Lichen led Xie Zhanning to Gu Zhi's tomb. As Gu Lichen expected, Fu Zhaohua stood in front of the tomb with his hands behind his back. Gu Lichen stepped forward and called out, "Zhaohua."

Fu Zhaohua heard the voice and turned around, "Brother, you are here."

Gu Lichen asked: "Zhaohua, are you staying here all night?"

Fu Zhaohua pursed his lips, nodded and said, "I want to spend more time with Senior Sister."

The two were silent for a long time before Xie Zhanning said: "Uncle Zhaohua, we have brought you and Uncle Gu Zhi a moon tour. These are made by Master and myself."

Fu Zhaohua took the food box and said, "Thank you."

Gu Lichen stepped forward and stroked the tombstone for a moment, "Sister, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, we all came to see you."

After offering the moon ceremony in front of Gu Zhi's tomb, the three of them sat in the gazebo not far from the tomb. The fields here are open and the moon is shining in the sky. It can be regarded as admiring the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Yanzong has been around for a while, I think he seems to have grown a lot taller, brother, isn't Zhanning almost 16 years old?"

Fu Zhaohua's question confused two people at the same time. After such a long time, both master and apprentice still don't know each other's birthday.

29 Each has his own concerns

"Master, you are so kind."

Ever since Fu Zhaohua asked that question, the two of them kept this matter in their hearts, and when they returned to Heguangyuan, it was already past time.

Gu Lichen coughed lightly, and said, "It's past time, go to bed early."

Xie Zhanning nodded blankly and said, "Yes."

Gu Lichen couldn't remember the last time he played like this for a whole day. Now he was lying on the bed, reminiscing about everything that happened today, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and after a while, he muttered again. Muttered: "Zhanning's birthday..."

"Master's birthday..." At almost the same moment, Xie Zhanning also sighed in the next room. If Fu Zhaohua hadn't asked, he would not have thought of this.

Gu Lichen turned over on the bed, "I'll ask tomorrow."

Xie Zhanning also turned over, "I'll ask tomorrow."

At this moment, the two faced each other with a thin wall separating them.

Heguangyuan was originally extremely quiet, but now the two of them were thinking deeply, and the chirping of birds and insects was especially deafening to their ears. The pots and pans in the kitchen were knocked down in sevens and eights.

Hearing the sound, Gu Lichen got up, put on his clothes, and rushed to the kitchen, but as soon as he arrived, he saw Xie Zhanning standing there, and Gu Lichen asked, "Why are you here?"

Xie Zhanning turned around when he heard the words, "Master, you haven't slept yet?"

Gu Lichen was taken aback for a moment, then stammered, "Mmm, yes."

Xie Zhanning saw Gu Lichen looking at the broken pots on the floor, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Master, it wasn't me, I didn't do it, I just came here to have a look when I heard some movement in the kitchen."

Gu Lichen smiled and said, "I know you didn't do it."

Suddenly, a little furry head jumped out from a dark corner of the kitchen, "Meow~"

Xie Zhanning looked intently, "Cat?"

Gu Lichen walked over slowly, squatted down, and said softly, "Okay, so it turned out that you, the little guy, stole my moon ball."

Xie Zhanning also came over, "Master, it seems to be injured."

Gu Lichen took a closer look and said, "Fortunately, the injury is not serious."

Gu Lichen said again: "Little guy, how did you come to me and Guangyuan, huh?"

"Meow~", this stray cat didn't seem to recognize its life at all, as it walked up to it, it rubbed against Gu Lichen's knee.

Seeing this, Xie Zhanning said, "Master, it seems to like you very much."

Gu Lichen smiled, and said: "To be able to run to Heguangyuan, I think it must be a cat with only spirits."

Xie Zhanning curled his lips, seemingly displeased, "Master, let's let it go."

Gu Lichen stretched out his hand and rubbed the kitten's head very skillfully, "This cat is injured, and it is long and skinny. It must have been bullied a lot outside the valley. Otherwise, let's raise it. , Wako-in is inherently clean, so it’s okay if there are many small things that are lively and lively, tell me, don’t you, meow~”

Gu Lichen's sudden 'meow' nearly caused Xie Zhanning to fall, his almond-shaped eyes were wide open, as if they were going to pop out of their sockets in shock, "..."

Gu Lichen noticed Xie Zhanning's gaze, coughed lightly, stood up and joked again: "Cough~ In this way, I will really have both cats and dogs by my side."

Xie Zhanning frowned suddenly, and muttered: "Master, I'm not a dog, I should be a wolf if I insist."

Gu Lichen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's a wolf."

Seeing that Xie Zhanning did not speak, Gu Lichen
