The area that the lantern needs to be drawn is not very large, and Xu Qisi finished his drawing after most of the afternoon.

The paint they use dries quickly, and after a while it's done.

Ruan Wenxi also finished his drawing and handed the lantern to Xu Qisi.

Xu Qisi took it to look at it, and found that Ruan Wenxi painted the main body of the lantern in tender green, and there were lifelike little white rabbits on the petals. It looked like a little rabbit jumping on the grass, very lively and cute.

Ruan Wenxi smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"

Xu Qisi hadn't seen such a lantern before, so he nodded slightly: "Well, it's very cute."

"As long as Xiao Qi likes it." Ruan Wenxi responded, "What about Xiao Qi's drawing?"

Xu Qisi also handed his lantern to Ruan Wenxi.

The overall color of the lantern is orange, smudged upwards from the base of the lantern, gradually turning into a lighter warm yellow.

Ruan Wenxi guessed the source of his inspiration after only looking at it for a while: "Is it the sunrise we watched together in City B before?"

Xu Qisi nodded: "Yes! Brother Wen Xi actually saw it."

Ruan Wenxi praised: "Xiaoqi did it exquisitely and vividly. I like it very much."

After being liked by Ruan Wenxi, Xu Qisi's mood became obviously better.

There was still a while before going out at night, Ruan Wenxi checked the time, and said to Xu Qisi: "By the way, Xiao Qi, before going to the Lantern Festival, I still have a new year gift for you."

Xu Qisi: "New Year's gift? But I didn't return it to Brother Wen Xi..."

At the beginning, Xu Qisi did not expect to meet Ruan Wenxi in S Town. What Xu Qi thought was to bring back a special product of S Town to give to Ruan Wenxi when he was traveling.

After meeting Ruan Wenxi, Xu Qisi completely forgot about it between surprise and surprise.

Ruan Wenxi patted his head: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. And it's enough for me that Xiao Qi has this heart."

In this regard, Xu Qisi didn't like one-way giving very much, and said, "Then, I'll deliver it in a few days."

Ruan Wenxi: "Okay, then I'll wait for Xiao Qi's gift."

Xu Qisi nodded, and asked again: "Then what is the gift that Brother Wen Xi wants to give?"

Ruan Wenxi did not say clearly: "Well... this gift may also have to go through a friend of mine in S Town. I wonder if Xiao Qi would like to go? That friend is very nice."

"Brother Wenxi's friend..." Xu Qisi hesitated for a moment, but seeing Ruan Wenxi's look of expectation and encouragement, he still agreed, "Yes, it's okay."

Ruan Wenxi smiled and said, "Then shall we go out now? We can have a meal first before going there. The time should be about the right time."

Xu Qisi nodded and went out with Ruan Wenxi.

The restaurant Ruan Wenxi chose for dinner was a nearby Chinese restaurant with a good reputation and really good taste. Xu Qisi was very satisfied after the meal, and even felt much less nervous about meeting strangers.

However, Ruan Wenxi said that he wanted Xu Qisi to meet a friend, and finally took him to an antique Hanfu shop—or, in other words, a courtyard house with this theme.

The courtyard is not far from the outskirts of the ancient town, and there are many similar shops around, but this one is obviously the most exquisitely furnished and the largest. The entire courtyard completely imitates the decoration of ancient houses.

"Second Young Master Ruan, you're here."

A man in Tang suit came out, and when he saw Xu Qisi, he also greeted him: "Surely this is the young master of the Xu family?"

"You, hello." Xu Qisi tried his best to maintain his calm.

"Still shy." The man teased in a friendly way, "Hello, my name is Gu Ke, and I'm the boss here. I'm here to change clothes and make-up, right?"

Xu Qisi was at a loss: "Huh?"

Ruan Wenxi answered at the right time: "I haven't talked to Xiao Qixi yet, let's go in first."

Gu Ke didn't say much: "It's fine, then you can go to the room on the east side, that room is specially reserved for you. I'll go there after you change."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Ruan Wenxi replied politely, and then went to the east room with Ruan Wenxi with a still dazed expression.

This room seems to be a special changing room. After entering, you can see a set of clothes neatly arranged on a chair.

It was only then that Ruan Wenxi finally explained: "I asked Gu Ke to choose a suit of clothes suitable for wearing in the ancient town yesterday. It's rare that Xiao Qi came to play. How about trying to be a different self this time?"

Xu Qisi: "A different...me?"

He still didn't understand Ruan Wenxi's meaning for a while, and Ruan Wenxi didn't explain in depth for the time being, so he asked him to change his clothes first.

Xu Qisi followed suit ignorantly, and took the clothes on the chair to the changing room separated behind the screen to change.

Ruan Wenxi chose a set of Wei-Jin style Hanfu. The inner and middle clothes are plain white, and the skirt of the middle clothes is embroidered with golden bamboo leaf patterns.The large-sleeved blouse and lower skirt worn outside are light green as a whole, with large clusters of delicate fine gold patterns, and silver dark patterns can be seen looming under the light.

Generally speaking, it is a very fresh and energetic style.

Xu Qisi had never worn this kind of clothes before. Although the way of wearing it was not troublesome, he was still a little uncomfortable after wearing it.

He flicked up his wide cuffs a few times, walked out of the fitting room and wanted to find Ruan Wenxi, but found that Ruan Wenxi had disappeared, replaced by Gu Ke who was waiting with some other things.

Seeing him coming out, Gu Ke raised his brows lightly, and praised without hesitation: "This suit suits you very well. If you dress up a little more, the chance of turning heads for tonight's lantern show will not be low."

Xu Qisi was still not used to being alone with strangers, and his voice became stumbling: "Thank you, thank you. That, please, where did Brother Wen Xi go?"

"He's gone to change too." Gu Ke patted the chair in front of him with a smile, "Come and sit, I'll give you a simple makeup first."

Xu Qisi was a little frightened: "Do you still want to put on makeup?"

Gu Ke: "Although your appearance is indeed cute enough, but if you modify it, it may be even more brilliant. Don't worry, my skills are very good."

If it's makeup...it means getting in close contact with someone you don't know for a while.

Xu Qisi stood there uneasily, instinctively repelling such an approach, but at this time Ruan Wenxi was not there, he had no way to seek Ruan Wenxi's comfort as before.

He glanced at Gu Ke's friendly smile, but still didn't dare to step forward.

Although Gu Ke heard that Ruan Wenxi said that he was afraid of strangers, he never expected to be so timid, so he smiled helplessly: "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you. Your Brother Wenxi, for tonight's lantern festival, but You have been harassing me since yesterday afternoon to confirm my schedule, you don't want to let him down, do you?"

Hearing Gu Ke mentioning Ruan Wenxi, Xu Qisi finally wavered a little.

He remembered what Ruan Wenxi said just now, hoping that he could try to be a different self tonight. After a while, he finally plucked up the courage and moved to the chair and sat down.

Gu Ke put his hands on his shoulders and pressed: "Relax, if you are really nervous, just close your eyes and pretend that it is your friend who is helping you with your makeup. You don't like chatting, and I won't take the initiative to find anything in the process topic."

Xu Qisi nodded his head lightly, with a little shy red on the tips of his ears, and replied obediently: "Thank you, thank you."

Gu Ke laughed, and sure enough, as he said just now, he didn't bring up any topics, and picked and picked from the tools he brought.

Xu Qisi also slowly closed his eyes, relaxing himself as much as possible, feeling the slight touch of the makeup brush sweeping across his face.

After a while, Gu Ke stopped and said with satisfaction: "Okay, do you want to open your eyes and have a look?"

Xu Qisi opened his eyes according to his words.

His foundation was already very good. Gu Ke didn't do any heavy makeup on his face, but just put on a light base makeup, made some modifications, and painted him with a lighter color, which is very suitable for improving his complexion. The lipstick fully revealed his delicate and lovely face.

Then Gu Ke put on a long wig for him, paired with a light green hair crown, which gave him the feeling of a lively young man.

Although the person is still such a person, the feeling and temperament seem to have changed a lot all of a sudden.

Xu Qisi couldn't help showing some surprise in his eyes: "Okay, that's amazing..."

Gu Ke responded proudly: "That's right, my skills, Gu Ke, are among the best in S Town. Right, Er Shao Ruan?"

When Xu Qisi heard Gu Ke's last address, he immediately turned his head and saw that Ruan Wenxi had returned at some point, standing not far behind him.

At this time, Ruan Wenxi had already changed into a light pink Wei-Jin style Hanfu of the same style, on which there were also large clusters of delicate fine gold patterns and silver dark patterns.

Ruan Wenxi had already put on the same light makeup, and her wig was tied into a high ponytail.Although he is wearing pink, it doesn't look feminine on him, but it brings out his gentle temperament even more.

He was leaning against the door, with a gentle smile on his brows and eyes, showing the gentle temperament of a gentleman: "This outfit is very suitable for Xiao Qi."

Xu Qisi recovered from his astonishment, and praised in a low voice: "Brother Wen Xi is also very good-looking."

Ruan Wenxi walked up to him and rubbed his head: "As long as Xiao Qi likes it."

Then he turned his head to look at Gu Ke: "Thank you for your hard work, too."

Gu Ke responded with a smile: "It's okay. Your little boyfriend has a good foundation, and I didn't bother much."

Hearing the title "little boyfriend", Xu Qisi's ears turned redder, but he just lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything to correct him.

Naturally, Ruan Wenxi would not take the initiative to correct him. Seeing that the time was almost up, he took Xu Qisi out after saying goodbye to Gu Ke.

Xu Qisi was still a little uncomfortable: "Just... just go out like this?"

Ruan Wenxi: "Of course. Otherwise, why would Xiaoqi think I brought you here at this time?"

Xu Qisi looked at the other tourists who came in from outside and still wore ordinary clothes, and always felt a little awkward: "But this...wouldn't it be strange?"

Ruan Wenxi comforted: "Don't worry, this is an ancient town, there will be many tourists like us at the lantern festival."

Xu Qisi was still not at ease: "Really, really..."

Ruan Wenxi nodded: "Well, I won't lie to you."

Relying on his trust in Ruan Wenxi, Xu Qisi finally relaxed a little, and asked as if thinking of something: "So the New Year's gift Brother Wenxi mentioned...does it refer to this suit?"

Ruan Wenxi: "Yes, but not all of them."

Xu Qisi looked at him blankly.

Ruan Wenxi looked at Xu Qisi, who was still shy and timid, and just smiled slightly, without continuing to explain.

The New Year's gift he really wanted to give Xu Qisi was confidence.

He wanted to tell Xu Qisi tonight that he was not as bad as he thought, and he was also a person worthy of praise from others.
