During the live broadcast, he was confessed by the wealthy and proud

Xu Qisi was stunned for a moment before carefully opening his mouth and calling out tentatively: "Brother Wen Xi..."

Ruan Wenxi came back from under the tree and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"Ah? No, nothing..."

Suddenly being asked back, Xu Qisi became at a loss and lowered his head a little: "I-I was just thinking, when did Brother Wen Xi go over there, I didn't even notice."

"When Xiao Qi was praised by others." Ruan Wenxi responded, "Xiao Qi is really amazing."

There was still a smile in his eyes, but compared with the usual gentleness, it seemed to have a little more meaning.

And even though it was the same compliment as at the beginning, Xu Qisi still heard something different.

With a thought, Xu Qisi seemed to understand something at once: "Did Brother Wen Xi bring me here on purpose?"

Ruan Wenxi didn't hide anything: "Yes. I followed your circle of friends before and know that you are very good at guessing lantern riddles."

From time to time, Xu Qisi also shared some daily content in his circle of friends. Although he didn't remember if it was related to guessing lantern riddles, since Ruan Wenxi said so, it might have been mentioned before.

Xu Qisi didn't doubt anything about this, and asked again: "But why did Brother Wen Xi bring me here on purpose?"

Ruan Wenxi replied: "Because Xiaoqi is very powerful, very cute, and very likable, but Xiaoqi, you seem to have never realized these things yourself."

Xu Qisi: "Uh..."

Suddenly being complimented a few more times, Xu Qisi didn't know how to react, and subconsciously retorted: "I'm not as good as Brother Wen Xi said."

"Yes." Ruan Wenxi responded to him gently, "or in other words, it is better than what I said."

"excellent……"

Xu Qisi didn't seem to understand why Ruan Wenxi described him in this way.

For Xu Qisi, words like "excellent" have never been able to become a label that appears on himself.

He still wanted to shake his head in denial, but he felt a gentle force on his shoulder.

"Xiaoqi, you don't have to be so anxious to deny yourself. Sometimes you can raise your head and look, and you will find that there are actually many affirmations for you around you."

"These may come from your family, your friends, or some strangers. They don't need to talk about scenes, they just affirm you sincerely."

"The paper carving lamp you got also proves this, doesn't it?"

Ruan Wenxi looked at Xu Qisi, the smile in his eyes turned serious and sincere.

Xu Qisi couldn't help but glance at the paper carving lamp in his hand.

Because he can clearly distinguish between reality and games, he usually doesn't take compliments in games seriously.

But in reality, because of his resistance to socializing, the scene just now was considered a social disaster for him. Being in such a scene only made him feel at a loss.

But because of what Ruan Wenxi said, if you think back to the scene just now...

Seems like it really isn't that bad?

Xu Qisi was stunned for a moment, but for the time being, he still didn't completely get out of his own thinking.

Ruan Wenxi was not in a hurry as before, seeing that he had listened to him, he stopped talking and led him to continue walking around the lantern festival.

The Lantern Festival in Town S is indeed much more grand and lively than City A. In addition to all kinds of fun, there are also places that sell food.

Xu Qisi walked around with Ruan Wenxi, and then gradually let go, and played happily all night.

In the end, they went to one of the most distinctive places of the Lantern Festival - the Lantern Wishing Pool.

The reason why the locals in S town can make lanterns is that there is a tradition at the end of the annual lantern festival, that is, people who come to the lantern festival will bring lanterns they made themselves or bought elsewhere to the Wishing Pool.

The lanterns in the Lantern Wishing Pool will also be recycled after the Lantern Festival ends, and each lantern will be photographed and recorded, and will be hung in the form of photos at the Lantern Festival the following year.

The Lantern Wishing Pool also defaults to make a wish for the new year. If you want to fulfill your wish, you can still look for photos of last year's lanterns in the second year.

Therefore, the uniqueness of lanterns has become an essential component of the Lantern Wishing Pool. All handmade lanterns and lanterns sold in shops will have different patterns.

Ruan Wenxi also brought over the lanterns they completed this afternoon, and borrowed paper, pens and special fire pockets from the nearby staff.

He handed Xu Qisi a piece of paper and a pen: "Xiaoqi, come and make a wish too."

Xu Qisi nodded: "Okay."

In terms of making wishes, he has never had any special wishes. In the end, he only wrote a sentence on the paper, "I wish the people around me to be safe and healthy."

Ruan Wenxi caught a glimpse of it inadvertently, and teased: "Sure enough, it's Xiao Qi's wish."

The Lantern Wishing Pool does not particularly pay attention to the saying "it will not work if you say it", but also encourages people who are traveling together to witness each other's wishes.

Xu Qisi scratched his cheek: "I don't have any special wishes...It's good that everyone can be safe."

After finishing speaking, he immediately changed the subject: "What wish did Brother Wen Xi make?"

"A wish related to you." Ruan Wenxi answered frankly, and signed his wish to Xu Qisi.

There is only one line of chic and neat handwriting on the wishing signature——

"May next year today, Xiaoqi will be even more shining."

Ruan Wenxi added at this time: "This is my wish, my blessing, and also a New Year's gift that I really want to give you."

Xu Qisi curled up his fingertips slightly, and the emotions he had deliberately ignored tonight resurfaced.

Become more "sparkling"...

He didn't know if he could do it.

Xu Qisi looked at the paper carving lamp in his hand, but in the end he still didn't respond.

Ruan Wenxi didn't make things difficult for him, and took the initiative to change the subject: "Let's go, let's set off the lanterns."

"Okay." Xu Qisi nodded and got out of his emotions.

There are many lantern wishing pools, and when put together, there are four big numbers, which are exactly the number of this year.

Many wishing pools have been filled with lit lanterns, exuding a warm yellow and bright light.

Xu Qisi and Ruan Wenxi put their lanterns in a temporarily deserted wishing pool, and watched the lanterns float towards the center of the wishing pool guided by the water flow.

All the lanterns will gather in the middle of each pool, and then spread out a little bit, lighting up the entire wishing pool.

Finally, all four numbers of the year are lit up.

Carrying the wishes of the new year, there will always be a dark or bright light in the heart of every wisher.

Xu Qi thought for a while, and took out his mobile phone to take a photo of the wishing pool.

One year is very short, and they have spent more than 20 years in the blink of an eye.But for them who have just come to the beginning of the new year, a year seems very long.

The vision is left in the wishing pool, no one knows what they will look like next year, and whether the people who walk with them are still there.

But at least today, they had longings and companionship.

Xu Qisi fixed the scene of the wishing pool in his mobile phone. He looked at the lights in the mobile phone and recalled Ruan Wenxi's wish.

Next year today, can he really do it?

Xu Qisi had no answer, and soon followed Ruan Wenxi back.

Before leaving, they also went back to Gu Ke's courtyard to remove their make-up and changed back into their own clothes before they really prepared to go home together.

The Ruan family had already returned to their villa area at this time, so Ruan Wenxi took Xu Qisi directly to the downstairs of the villa they rented.

"Then let's meet again next time."

Ruan Wenxi rolled down the car window to say goodbye to Xu Qisi.

Xu Qisi nodded: "Okay. Thank you Brother Wen Xi tonight too. I had a great time."

Ruan Wenxi: "As long as Xiao Qi is happy. Rest early tonight, good night."

"Good night."

Xu Qisi waved to Ruan Wenxi, watched him disappear into the night, and finally turned back to the house.

The light in the living room was on, but it wasn't there. Xu Qisi immediately guessed that it was Xu Qixian who left the light for them.

Because he was going to play games tonight, he came back early to see the arrangement of the shoes in the porch. At this time, Xu Qixian was the only one at home.

Xu Qisi looked at the time, and this point was basically the point when Xu Qixian would just stay in his room and do his own things.

He didn't bother Xu Qixian for the time being, he went back to his room directly, and threw himself on the big soft bed.

Tired all day, as expected, lying on the bed is the most comfortable.

Xu Qisi let himself go for a while, then picked up his phone to see if Ruan Wenxi had sent him a message home.

But after looking at it, he realized that he had received messages from many people tonight.

There were those from his sister Xu Qiqi, there were those from Lin Kexi and Mo Yanxiang, and there were those from Gu Ke who only added them when they changed their clothes.

He looked it over roughly, only to find that Ruan Wenxi had taken a few photos of him while he was guessing lantern riddles, and then posted them on his circle of friends.

There are photos of him listening to crossword puzzles attentively, of him answering with confidence, and of him when he finally won the prize.

The people who sent him the message were also praising him for his appropriate attire today and his skill in guessing lantern riddles.

In the past, he might just feel overwhelmed, thinking that this should be just ordinary encouragement rather than affirmation.

But with Ruan Wenxi's words tonight, Xu Qisi's thoughts suddenly changed.

Perhaps, in the past, he really thought wrong.

The influence of Xiao Baohui and Shi Chanan on him was so deep that he lost the ability to truly face the people around him and himself.

But now Xiao Baohui and Shi Chanan have already received what they deserved. If he is still immersed in the past, Ruan Wenxi's busy time during that time will really be in vain.

Xu Qisi pursed his lower lip, and first replied to the other people's WeChat messages one by one.

And just at this time, he also received news from Ruan Wenxi that he had returned home smoothly.

He replied "yes" to Ruan Wenxi, opened the phone's photo album, and took another look at the wishing pool that he took tonight.

【"This is my wish, my blessing, and the New Year gift I really want to give you."】

Become more "sparkling"?

He asked himself for the third time in his heart.

Maybe, he can really try.
