This might be the last Lantern Festival she can spend with them...
This is also the first Lantern Festival she is spending with Si Chengye and Si Ye.
How she wishes she had ten more years, twenty years, thirty years, to spend every festival with them.
Just once is far too few, far too few.
Was it because the weather was too cold, or she was too tired from walking that she felt breathless, with her heart racing faster and faster?
Chen Xiangyu moved her eyes dreamily, seeing the bustling crowd, the dazzling lanterns, and finally stopping at Si Chengye's resolute chin.
She gazed at him foolishly and suddenly smiled, "Chengye, I see they're selling candied hawthorn over there. How about getting me a stick?"
Si Chengye looked over and indeed saw a few people selling candied hawthorn.
"Okay, wait here. I'll be right back."
He withdrew the arm around her, adjusted her scarf gently, and then turned away with a smile.
