“It’s stuck.”

"what?"

"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon." Chen Yuan remembered that he had forgotten something, so he closed the door, cruelly shutting Xinbao out, then returned and finished, then opened the door again, "Let's go."

Xia Xinyu didn't know what it was, but she was sensible enough not to ask.

As she followed Chen Yuan downstairs, she suddenly asked, "How did you know my birthday?"

"This..." Chen Yuan paused and said, "I asked my aunt." "You, you asked your aunt? When...that time in Shaoxiang?" Xia Xinyu was a little surprised. She didn't expect Chen Yuan to be so rude.

Instead of asking your aunt...you might as well ask me directly.

Chen Yuan didn't answer, but nodded in agreement, then said, "Don't tell this to your aunt."

"Yeah, I know."

Xia Xinyu made an OK gesture.

And Chen Yuan's guilt was also slightly alleviated.

Even though I lied, it was indeed my aunt who told me...

Please let me go this time.

From now on, I will fulfill my duties as a candy conscientiously.

1024 Keep it in mind, because I am a soldier of the heart!

The two of them went downstairs. Xia Xinyu wanted to take a walk, but she didn't know which direction to go. Seeing her dilemma, Chen Yuan suggested, "How about we go and release Kongming lanterns?"

"Yeah, okay."

After Xia Xinyu agreed, she suddenly remembered that it was already very late: "But where can I buy a Kongming lantern at this time?"

"You just have to tell me you want to let it go."

After getting the answer, Chen Yuan went to scan a shared electric car that still had not been named.

"...What you said is quite cool." Xia Xinyu exclaimed sincerely.

This ridiculous reliability is surprising no matter how many times I see it.

"I'm Doraemon." Chen Yuan got in the car, "Let's go."

Then, Xia Xinyu also sat on it.

The two men still took advantage of the fact that there was no one around at night and drove on the lonely streets of the old city without wearing helmets.

Finally, we stopped at a newsstand.

After getting off the car, Chen Yuan walked over there.

"Is it too disturbing when I'm sleeping?"

"fine."

Chen Yuan shook his head and then knocked heavily on the door of the newsstand.

Then, an old man with a crooked mouth woke up, hurriedly opened the window, and made unnatural movements with his hands.

"A Kongming lantern, a lighter, and a bottle of ChaPi." Chen Yuan said.

The old man handed Chen Yuan a lighter and tea pie, then pointed at a few Kongming lanterns and made gestures in order: two, five, ten.

"There are also Kongming lanterns for ten yuan, so awesome?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

The old man quickly gave a thumbs up and laughed.

"Then take this." Chen Yuan said.

So the old man handed the ten-yuan Kongming lantern to Chen Yuan and then made a sixteen gesture.

Chen Yuan scanned 16 and showed his Alipay account to the old man.

Then, the old man packed the food in a red plastic bag with trembling hands.

Although it was very slow, Chen Yuan watched him finish before taking it.

In this world, there are always some people who will not get angry even if they are woken up in their sleep.

Chen Yuan woke him up rudely, then paid the original price without any mercy, and finally let him pack the things for him even though his hands were disabled.

Maybe he just 'hates' everyone equally.

"A ten-dollar Kongming lantern." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Ah? It's so expensive, shouldn't it be a few dollars?" Xia Xinyu was a little puzzled. Even if she bought it at night, the price shouldn't be so many times higher.

Then, Chen Yuan took out the Kongming lantern.

"Why does this Kongming lantern have a cat head?"

"As expected of the ten-yuan Kong Ming... ah no, Kong Miao Deng."

"Then where do we put it?" Xia Xinyu asked.

"The place we went to last time was a little off the beaten track. Actually, there's a river beach on the old city side that's a little closer. You can get on it."

Chen Yuan got on the bike with a clear purpose.

"We are both from other places, why are you so familiar with this place?"

Moreover, these are all places for walking.

You wouldn't... have really been in love before?

Chen Yuan didn't even think about it and answered directly: "I used to like watching the old man fishing. It was very interesting to sit next to him all day long."

"..."

Well, the possibility of him having been in a relationship has decreased again.

But what kind of person is it that can watch an old man fishing for a whole day?

It was quite cool tonight. Sitting in the back seat, Xia Xinyu even felt a little chilly, after all, it was late autumn.

So, she held Chen Yuan's sides with both hands and moved her body closer to him, so that the wind would not pour all over her.

That's right, why should I wear a skirt so late at night? Wouldn't it be better to wear a coat like Chen Yuan...

You are too concerned about your reputation.

Fortunately, five minutes later, we arrived at the river beach he mentioned.

Sure enough, there was no one there at this time.

But unlike the last time by the reservoir, this is in the city, so the street lights are still on.

"What a quiet atmosphere! It's really suitable for fishing." Xia Xinyu exclaimed.

"Suitable for fishing?" Chen Yuan smiled faintly, then pointed down, "Fishing is going on!"

"Ah? Is there anyone there?" Xia Xinyu didn't even notice the person Chen Yuan was talking about.

The two walked forward together, and then under the guardrail, they saw several "fishermen" with emergency lights on their heads, fishing boxes and chairs, and complete equipment.

If there was no one there, Xia Xinyu would think it would be okay.

But after knowing that there were some people here, she felt a little embarrassed.

Even if it’s just to put on the Kongming Lantern.

"Have a drink first." After unscrewing the lid of the teapot, Chen Yuan handed it to Xia Xinyu.

Then, he began to study the Kongmiao lamp.

The difference between it and those two yuan ones is not only in the shape, but also in the quality.

Kong Miao’s lamp is thickened and a bit milky white, a typical idol style.

The ten dollars is reflected here.

Those sky lanterns that cost one or two yuan are too thin and can be easily burned through, or simply cannot be put up, and will flip over as soon as they float up.

"Let me help."

Xia Xinyu took a sip of the drink, put it on the stone guardrail, and leaned over.

"Then you take it, hold it with both hands, it's very sturdy."

"okay."

Following Chen Yuan's instructions, Xia Xinyu set up the Kongming lantern, and Chen Yuan lit the candle.

It’s a pity that the lighter is not windproof and it was blown out by the wind several times I tried to light it.

"Come closer." Looking at Chen Yuan, who was already very close to her because he lowered his head, Xia Xinyu reminded him in a low voice, "Stay away from the wind."

So Chen Yuan lowered his head a little lower, and when his forehead just touched the top of Xia Xinyu's head, the candle was finally lit.

But he did not relax, and used his hands to form a 'wall' to protect the flames.

In this way, Kong Miaodeng became bigger and bigger.

It seemed to be able to maintain balance even without anyone holding it up.

Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu supported the lower part together.

They waited in great silence, for fear of blowing out the candles.

Half a minute later, the light floated up...

"Fly higher."

Chen Yuan also has high hopes for it.

up.

Life is all about moving forward!

"But you have to fly slowly..."

Looking up at the Kong Miao Lantern that was slowly rising into the sky and was already out of reach, Xia Xinyu's eyes revealed a light of expectation. Then she closed her eyes and murmured briefly in her heart.

At night, anything that glows is touching.

Because it can dispel darkness and show people the direction.
