It was still early for Xu Qisi and Ruan Wenxi to leave the courtyard, about half an hour before the lantern festival started.

The people around were still wearing ordinary clothes, and when they saw the two of them, they couldn't help but look in their direction.

Xu Qisi was not very used to this feeling, so he approached Ruan Wenxi unconsciously, and gently grabbed the corner of his sleeve.

"Brother Wenxi... where are we going now?" He slightly raised his head to look at Ruan Wenxi, and lost the curiosity and energy he usually had when he went out to play.

Ruan Wenxi smiled reassuringly and said, "Let's go for a walk in the garden. There is a small garden in front of the ancient town, and the layout is pretty nice."

Xu Qisi nodded slightly and followed Ruan Wenxi's arrangement.

The garden is not far in front of the ancient town. Compared with the outskirts of the ancient town, there are now more people in the garden who also wear ancient costumes or Hanfu. Most of them come together and are happily taking pictures with their companions.

In such an environment where everyone was similar, Xu Qisi finally relaxed a little and hung out with Ruan Wenxi.

The gardens are full of evergreen plants with verdant green leaves. There are many red lanterns and streamers dotted in the greenery. The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is very strong.

The two passed by two girls who were taking selfies together, and Ruan Wenxi suddenly suggested, "Should Xiao Qi also take some photos? It's rare that I changed my clothes today, and the scenery here is also beautiful."

Xu Qisi shook his head uncomfortably: "Yeah, I don't want it anymore, I'm not very used to taking pictures."

Ruan Wenxi smiled: "Sure enough, the answer is the same as on your birthday."

Xu Qisi paused for a moment before remembering that Ruan Wenxi was referring to the time they went to the amusement park together.

He remembered that at the gate of the amusement park, Ruan Wenxi asked him if he wanted to take a photo together, and he replied in the same way.Later, they were coaxed by Ruan Wenxi to take a group photo together.

He thought that Ruan Wenxi's mention of this matter meant that he wanted to take a group photo as he did back then, and responded in a low voice: "If... if Brother Wenxi wants to take a group photo together, I, I can still do it."

This time Ruan Wenxi shook his head: "Although I also like group photos, I would rather leave some solo photos of Xiao Qi than group photos."

As he said that, he put on a lost expression again: "I have liked Xiao Qi for so long, I don't even have a single photo of Xiao Qi, and sometimes I always feel that I am not qualified as a suitor."

As soon as Ruan Wenxi said that, Xu Qisi couldn't bear it, and said quickly: "Why? Brother Wenxi has been very good to me."

Ruan Wenxi forced a smile: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, it's still up to Xiao Qi's wishes. If Xiao Qi doesn't like it, I won't force it. Then let's continue walking?"

He spoke freely, but the tone he used was obviously a little bit disappointed.

Xu Qisi couldn't bear it, but he didn't even have the courage to take pictures under such a situation, and finally walked forward with Ruan Wenxi in silence.

Ruan Wenxi seemed to have adjusted his mood quickly, and chatted with Xu Qisi about some common topics.

Xu Qisi, however, was not able to recover from the incident as quickly as before, always thinking about Ruan Wenxi's disappointed expression.

Ruan Wenxi has always been accommodating him to take care of him and satisfy his wishes.

Isn't it unfair to Ruan Wenxi that he only cared about his own refusal?

After a while, Xu Qisi suddenly stopped.

Ruan Wenxi turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

"That..." Xu Qisi lowered his head halfway, holding Ruan Wenxi's sleeve with one hand, "For example, if Brother Wen Xi really wants, I can actually cooperate with Brother Wen Xi..."

Perhaps because there were people around, he lowered his voice very softly, just enough for Ruan Wenxi to hear.

Ruan Wenxi just smiled gently: "If Xiaoqi really doesn't want to, don't force yourself. Compared to these, I still hope Xiaoqi is happy."

Xu Qisi avoided Ruan Wenxi's sight, and his voice was still very low: "But, I also hope that Brother Wenxi can be happy."

"Brother Wenxi takes me to play and takes care of me every time. I, I also hope that Brother Wenxi's wish can be fulfilled."

Hearing his soft and dull voice, Ruan Wenxi paused, and the smile in his eyes couldn't help but feel a little more real: "My biggest wish is to see Xiao Qi happy. Although I really want Xiao Qi's Single photo, but I am not in a hurry. Just like I am willing to wait for Xiaoqi’s reply, I am also willing to wait until the day Xiaoqi can really accept this request.”

Ruan Wenxi did play pity to make Xu Qisi soft-hearted, but he just hoped to shake Xu Qisi's awkwardness about taking pictures, so that Xu Qisi could accept it a little bit.

But now it seems that his Xiaoqi can always inadvertently bring him emotional reactions.

Xu Qisi didn't know what Ruan Wenxi was thinking at this time, but after hearing his words, he became more determined and looked up at him: "Then, I still want to try, at this time. I don't want Brother Wenxi to always wait I, I, I want to keep up with Brother Wen Xi as quickly as possible."

Ruan Wenxi looked at him with obvious cowardly determination.

Xu Qisi is always like this. He is still afraid to move forward, but he can always find the strength to support himself to break through and try. Sometimes Ruan Wenxi doesn't know whether he should be called a brave person.

But this courage that is not brave is also Xu Qisi's unique charm.

Ruan Wenxi smiled more gently: "Then let's go to the rockery in front? There will be fewer people there."

Xu Qisi clasped his hands and nodded.

The two went to the place that Ruan Wenxi had mentioned together, and Xu Qisi hesitated for a while beside Ruan Wenxi before walking forward, to the bottom of the rockery.

Since his temper became silent, he has rarely taken pictures alone, standing under the rockery at a loss.

Ruan Wenxi reassured: "It's okay, Xiao Qi, if you don't know what pose to pose, just relax and stand casually. You don't need to look at the camera, you can look wherever you want."

Hearing that Ruan Wenxi said that he didn't need to look at the camera, Xu Qisi immediately looked away, but he didn't know where else to look. The frozen photos came out clearly.

Ruan Wenxi looked at the freshly released single photo of Xu Qisi on his phone, and finally Xu Qisi, who didn't know how to place his hands and feet, came to his senses: "Okay, Xiaoqi, do you want to come and have a look?"

After taking the photo, Xu Qisi finally let out a sigh of relief, and shook his head with red ears: "It's better... let's not watch it..."

Ruan Wenxi didn't force it: "Okay. Then let's go shopping?"

Xu Qisi was still in an uncomfortable state, and didn't even pay much attention to what Ruan Wenxi asked, and nodded indiscriminately: "Okay."

Ruan Wenxi rubbed his head and took him around the garden.

As Ruan Wenxi said before, the garden is not very big, but when they finished walking around, the sky began to darken.

The Lantern Festival has officially started. All kinds of lanterns and lanterns in the ancient town have been lit up, and the surroundings are filled with warm light.

Xu Qisi had already recovered from the uncomfortable feeling brought about by taking pictures just now, and relaxed a lot in the night.

It is true that there are more people who come to the Lantern Festival who also wear ancient Chinese costumes, because the weather is colder, and many people wear matching cloaks.

Xu Qisi gradually got used to the attire on his body, showing novelty and admiration for everything around him.

There are many people who come to the Lantern Festival, and there is a lot of people everywhere, which is very lively.

In order to prevent being scattered by the crowd, Ruan Wenxi took Xu Qisi's hand again shortly after entering the ancient town, and took Xu Qisi to play along the way according to his memory of the Lantern Festival.

The first place Ruan Wenxi took Xu Qisi to was the lantern riddle activity place of the Lantern Festival.

Lantern riddles are one of the special activities of the Lantern Festival. You can get corresponding rewards if you guess a certain number of lantern riddles correctly.In addition, there is also a competition mode of guessing lantern riddles. The person who guesses the most lantern riddles in a single round will win the final prize-a very beautiful Chinese New Year-themed paper lantern.

Xu Qisi looked at the paper-carved lamp on the prize display stand, and was a little moved.

Ruan Wenxi noticed his emotions, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to try, Xiao Qi?"

Xu Qisi didn't hesitate for too long this time, nodded and said, "Yes! I want to try it!"

There was a little excitement in his voice.

If there is one thing he is best at besides painting, it is guessing lantern riddles.

In the past, "Jianghu Biography" would have similar lantern riddle guessing activities during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lantern Festival and Qixi Festival. Every time Xu Qisi was No.1 in their regional server.

Xu Qisi always took the initiative to solve the related tasks of guessing lantern riddles and crossword puzzles.

He is quite sure that he can get No.1.

Ruan Wenxi, who originally brought him here on purpose, of course would not pour cold water on him, saying: "It just so happens that the next round of the competition is about to start, Xiao Qi to try? I'll wait for you here."

Xu Qisi's excitement cooled down a little: "Won't Brother Wen Xi go with you?"

Ruan Wenxi shook his head: "I'm not very good at such activities. Don't worry, I'll be right here with you."

Without Ruan Wenxi's company, Xu Qisi hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back his enthusiasm for guessing lantern riddles and his love for paper lanterns, and signed up under Ruan Wenxi's encouraging sight.

It was still early, and there were not many people around the lantern riddles. There were seven people participating in the competition together.

There will be a special small stage for the competition. Xu Qisi was still very nervous before going up, and couldn't help but look in Ruan Wenxi's direction.

After the game started, he was completely immersed in answering and guessing, and became very focused all of a sudden.

——It's very similar to him when he usually draws and broadcasts live.

Before painting and live broadcasting, he was always shy and shy, but after he started to devote himself to the things he loves, he seemed to become shining all of a sudden.

Ruan Wenxi stood under the stage and looked at the light green figure on the stage, picked up his mobile phone to freeze his confident answer.

In the end, after several rounds of competition, Xu Qisi won No.1 with an excellent record of all pairs.

"Brother Wenxi! I got No.1!"

Xu Qisi trotted back with the prize he just got, his eyes were still shining brightly, which was particularly dazzling under the warm yellow smudge.

Ruan Wenxi smiled: "Well, I knew Xiao Qi was the best."

Xu Qisi had long been used to Ruan Wenxi's straightforward compliments to him, but he still showed a little embarrassment, which looked very cute.

At this moment, another couple came to Xu Qisi's side.

The girl was the first to say hello to Xu Qisi: "Hello, little brother who just got No.1!"

"You, hello." Xu Qisi suddenly switched back to the fearful mode when facing strangers.

The girl thought she had scared him, and said with a smile, "I didn't pay attention to it on stage just now, but now I see you look so cute."

Facing the stranger's compliment, Xu Qisi was far from calm as when facing Ruan Wenxi, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and he replied in a low voice: "Thank you, thank you."

But now it's dark, the girl can't see his uneasiness, she just thinks he is shy, and continues to praise generously: "You were really good just now! I come here every year to guess the lantern riddles, and I haven't seen them before, but I can answer all of them correctly people!"

At this time, there were many people around who were watching the game in the audience and those who were also competing on the stage. A girl started this, and the people nearby also praised Xu Qisi one after another.

Some said that he was good at guessing lantern riddles, some said that his clothes looked good today, and some said that he looked like a very good person.

Xu Qisi was surrounded by simple and enthusiastic praise, but he became even more at a loss, blushing and didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, everyone simply expressed their praise and admiration for him, and finally left after a while.

Xu Qisi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally managed to separate his mind to look at Ruan Wenxi, and then suddenly fell into Ruan Wenxi's gentle and smiling gaze.

Ruan Wenxi stood under a tree at some point and hid himself in the shadows.

Since the girl came over, he has been just watching quietly, silently watching Xu Qisi who was left under the warm yellow light and surrounded by the crowd.
