I write novels in Liyue

Good evening! I didn't expect to run into you here.

Ying'er smiled and said, "How does it feel to be with the three of us?"

"Uh, it's fine."

Fang Qiu replied.

"Oh? It feels good? I'll try it sometime."

Sister Ying smiled.

Fang Qiu was taken aback by the mischievous look in her eyes and the amused expression on her face.

Is Sister Ying'er making a suggestive joke?

It was clearly said that the three of them would go to the Lantern Festival together...

She subconsciously imagined the scene, and her pretty face instantly turned bright red. She quickly shook her head, shaking those messy thoughts out of her mind.

Don't let your mind wander...

"What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

Seeing Fang Qiu's flustered expression, Ying'er's mischievous look deepened, and she asked with a smile.

"No...it's nothing, I'm just a little hot from wearing too many clothes."

Fang Qiu said, blushing.

As expected, Sister Ying'er was making a suggestive joke!

"Are you feeling a bit hot? Would you like them to help you take off your clothes?"

Ying'er said with a smile, then narrowed her eyes slightly and said mischievously, "Or do you want me to help you take it off? I'd be happy to help, or do you want the three of us to help you take it off?"

"No need, no need, it's cold without taking it off."

Fang Qiu blushed and quickly refused.

"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you. Here, I'll give you a gift."

As she spoke, Sister Ying'er took out three small paper boxes from her bag and handed them to them.

Her and Shen He's boxes were larger, while Hu Tao's was smaller.

"what is this?"

Fang Qiu asked subconsciously.

"They're stockings."

Ying'er said with a smile, "I just bought it at that lingerie store in Mondstadt. They have a new type of stockings that can be worn up to the waist. They say it's very warm, and you don't need to wear pants when you wear these."

"I see."

Fang Qiu nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Ying'er."

At first, she didn't understand why Sister Ying'er would buy small-sized stockings, but the next moment, she remembered the tight-fitting nightgown that Sister Ying'er had given her before...

Then she seemed to understand roughly.

Shen He and Hu Tao also expressed their gratitude.

"It's just a small gift."

Ying'er smiled, glanced at Shen He and Hu Tao, and said, "By the way, these stockings feel so comfortable to the touch."

After saying that, she waved her hand and said, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to visit the next place."

After seeing Ying'er off, they strolled towards Chihu Rock.

Liyue Harbor was completely shrouded in night.

When they arrived at Chihu Rock, Xiangling had already finished her work.

After handing the food over to Master Mao, Xiangling took Guoba and joined them to stroll around Chihu Rock. During their time there, they also encountered Xingqiu and Chongyun.

When they saw Fang Qiu and Shen He, their minds went blank for a moment.

I can't tell who's who.

However, the moment Shen He spoke, the two of them recognized each other.

Shen He's voice was much colder than Fang Qiu's.

Fang Qiu's voice was very gentle.

Since they had already run into them, Chongyun and Xingqiu decided to travel with them.

After wandering around for a while...

They each bought a lantern from Grandma Ah Shan, and then came to the wooden railing. Before them was the sea, and they watched the lanterns floating in the sky.

"Grandma Ashan just said that if you make a wish when you release the lanterns, the Rock King will hear your wish."

Xiangling said, "Hmm... But, since Prince Yan has passed away, can he still hear my wishes?"

"Then let Lord Yan's spirit in heaven protect us."

Fang Qiu smiled and said.

They made a silent wish in their hearts and then released the lanterns into the sky.

The lanterns, emitting a faint glow, rose into the air and drifted towards the horizon, rising higher and higher until they floated away with the wind and many other lanterns into the distance.

Meanwhile, the little girl who was asking Ah Kuan to buy her toys also released a lantern with the help of her father, Ah Kuan.

Under the lanterns, they chatted while playing with burning sparklers.

The sparkler was burning intensely, dazzlingly bright.

According to Hu Tao and Xiang Ling, during the last Lantern Festival, a fairy was born, and a fairy deer ran through the air, soaring into the sky before exploding in the heavens.

Fang Qiu listened with great longing.

but.

Along the way, she saw many Qianyan soldiers tirelessly guarding the fireworks' ignition points.

This year's Lantern Festival fireworks display, organized by Keqing, will undoubtedly be just as spectacular as last year's.

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu couldn't help but feel very excited, as could Shen He, who had lived in a land of immortals since childhood.

Having lived a simple and abstemious life since childhood, I am unfamiliar with the world. I would never even have seen fireworks, let alone attended one.

"Is it almost time?"

Fang Qiu looked at the sky lanterns floating everywhere and murmured.

……

……

P.S.: I exercised yesterday, but I was so tired afterward that I couldn't stay awake past 2 AM...

There will be two more updates tonight.

I'm also borrowing a book from you: "I, a Uma Musume, Didn't Use Sprint!"

Chapter 264 The Lantern Festival (Part 2)

(The previous chapter was blocked. Plot: The protagonist, Shen He, and Hu Tao strolled through the Lantern Festival together.)

"Fang Qiu, what are you looking at?"

Hu Tao's voice rang in her ears. Just as Fang Qiu was about to turn around, accompanied by the sound of fireworks shooting up, a flame shot into the sky in her crimson eyes and then exploded with a bang, like a blooming glass lily, transforming into colorful fireworks in a beautiful moment, which was imprinted in Fang Qiu's eyes.

As that burst of fireworks bloomed.

Other fireworks also continued to rise into the sky, exploding with a crackling sound.

"Look, look! The fireworks over there are shaped like little pigs."

Hu Tao tugged at Fang Qiu's sleeve and said.

Where? Where?

Fang Qiu smiled and looked in the direction Hu Tao was pointing. Fireworks were constantly going off in the sky, and she couldn't see which one Hu Tao was pointing to at all.

Shen He quietly gazed at the sky.

Chongyun, with an ice pop in her mouth, leaned against the wooden railing, chatting and laughing with Xingqiu, while Xiangling and Guoba joined her and Hutao.

Guoba, with its short legs, hopped up onto the wooden railing and looked out at Liyue at night.

As they watched the fireworks and chatted happily, a voice rang out behind them.

"Hello, Miss Fang Qiu."

Fang Qiu turned around and saw Gan Yu standing prettily behind them.

"Gan Yu, what brings you here?"

Fang Qiu asked.

“Miss Ningguang told me to take a few days off during the Lantern Festival. I originally wanted to come and find you, but I found out you had moved. Then I went to your new house, but I found you had left. I finally found you now.”

Gan Yu said.

"That's perfect, let's go watch the fireworks together."

Fang Qiu smiled and said.

"Ah."

Gan Yu nodded, walked to Shen He's side, smiled at Shen He, and looked up at the sky.

In the distance, a handsome young man returning from outside the city walked to a teahouse. He looked at Fang Qiu and the others standing side by side in front of the wooden railing, nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky, and muttered to himself, "This is very good."

At the foot of Mount Hulao, towering trees swayed in the wind, their leaves rustling as they rubbed against each other. A leaf twirled in the air, drifting and swaying, before landing in a wine bowl filled with wine on the table in front of the tombstone.

The wine rippled.

Next to the wine bowl, there was also a jar of wine.

A red paper was pasted on the jar, with the words "Osmanthus Wine" written on it.
