Meng Ke was very satisfied with Jiang Baiyan's red dress.

"I didn't feel that before..."
Looking him up and down, Meng Ke felt blessed: "Jiaoyue Pavilion has recently produced new cosmetics suitable for men. If Bai Yan is allowed to wander around after using it, can it attract more customers?"

Shi Dai's train of thought was led astray by her: "It's feasible."

Of course, the more beautiful the model, the better.
On weekdays, Jiang Baiyan is dressed in white clothes and looks like a gentleman. The sense of alienation is too strong, so he can only watch from a distance.

Seeing him dressed in red, Shi Dai remained silent and secretly looked at Jiang Baiyan's lips.

It's very thin, has a nice shape, and has a light red color. I don't know what it will look like if I apply lipstick on it.

Shi Dai only glanced at it, quickly straightened her gaze, and asked Jiang Baiyan: "What do you think of these clothes?"

Jiang Baiyan looked at the hem of his sleeves.

He has never worn clothes of this color.
But from another perspective, Jiang Baiyan is very familiar with Hongyi.

He is not very interested in complicated colors. The reason why he wears white is because when Jiang Mansion was still in office, his family often bought white shirts for him.

In the vague memory, his parents once praised him for his appearance, which was suitable for Bai.

However, white is the easiest to stain. Once it bleeds, it turns red.
At that time, they would not have thought that a few years later, Jiang Baiyan's white clothes would always be stained with blood and mud.

In fact, he can no longer match pure white.
Things have changed and people have changed, so Jiang Baiyan left this habit behind like a self-abuse.

In the clothing store, Jiang Baiyan thought quietly.

His impression of the color red was mostly focused on the hot and splashing blood, and he didn't think it was that special.
But judging from Shi Dai's expression, she should like it very much.

Thinking back carefully, Shi Dai's dresses were often of crimson color. Whenever she put them on, they looked like the rising sun, bright and eye-catching.

It turned out to be the case.
Using Shi Dai as an analogy, all confusions are explained——
Red is really eye-catching.

Jiang Baiyan answered her question: "It's acceptable."

"Then choose it?"
Shi Dai said: "I buy it today."

Jiang Baiyan smiled and said hello: "Thank you very much."

As it was the festive season, Shi Dai bought new clothes for each of Shi Jingcheng, Meng Ke and Shi Yunsheng, and also put on a furry round hat for Ah Li.

I used the salary I got in Zhenesder.

Growing up in an orphanage, Shi Dai got very few new things from an early age.
The clothes are either donated or hand-me-downs from other children at the orphanage.Daily necessities such as towels and toothbrushes are complete, but nothing more.

No cosmetics were used, desserts were luxurious food, not to mention expensive cameras and mobile phones.

Therefore, after making money through part-time jobs, Shi Dai developed a secret hobby.
Use your earned wages to buy some affordable gadgets.

For example, buy yourself a palm-sized cake, or give a birthday gift to your younger brother or sister in the orphanage.
Such pleasures satisfied her, as if an empty corner in her heart had been filled.

Shidai is always happy easily.

After receiving the ivory white round collar robe as a gift from his sister, Shi Yunsheng quickly took off the bright yellow coat to avoid becoming the third peacock in the Shi family.

Putting on the new clothes bought by his daughter, Shi Jingcheng straightened the skirt and stood on the side of the clothing store.

Seeing him pondering, Meng Ke raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Dede bought me a blue robe, but the headband that tied my hair this morning was light white."
Shi Jingcheng picked up a sapphire-blue bamboo-patterned brocade belt and said softly, "From what I've seen, madam, this one will match?"

He was born with a gentle and pure temperament, with the majestic aura of a swordsman between his brows, and his gentle words were like the breeze blowing through the bamboo forest.

Meng Ke was very impressed by this, and carefully compared the color of the hairband with the color of the robe: "It just matches."
After saying that, he hooked his fingers and said, "Go to the inner room and I will tie it for you."

Shi Yunsheng:......
not understand well.

Shi Dai:......
Her father just wanted to show off his new look in front of his mother and asked her to help tie her hair. What bad intentions could he have?

Shen Liushuang caressed her chin: "I think this is a deliberate move."

Shi Dai smiled and joked: "After all, he is the leader of the Shangyuan Festival."
As she spoke, she looked at the shelf where Shi Jingcheng had stopped.

Zijin Pavilion is in the fabric business. It doesn't sell jade hairpins, but it does sell a lot of hairbands.

Subconsciously, Shi Dai thought of Jiang Baiyan.

He was wearing a white shirt today, but the hairband was dark black. Now he is wearing red clothes, which is both calm and restrained, and also gorgeous and flamboyant. The combination is just right.

Does he want to try other colors of headbands?

The thought flashed past, and Shi Dai realized something was wrong.

Why is she thinking about Jiang Baiyan so much?
"this."
Shen Liushuang's focus was different. She picked up a ball of red on the shelf and said, "Yun Sheng can be used."

Seeing what was in her hand, Shi Yunsheng frowned.

It was a hat with eyes and mouth knitted out, and two ears on top of its head, which were so red that it was dazzling.
Jiang Baiyan's red dress is darker in color and extremely beautiful and aggressive. The feeling of this thing can be summed up in two words.

festive.

Shi Dai: It’s a tiger head hat!
In Dazhao, the tiger head is regarded as a symbol of bravery and bravery. Wearing a tiger head hat on children can ward off evil spirits and cure diseases.
Shi Yunsheng is a bit older, but...

Who doesn’t love playing with the kids at home.

Shi Dai's eyes brightened slightly, and she and Shen Liushuang turned their heads sideways.

Shi Yunsheng:?
Shi Yunsheng took a step back: "Wait..."

After failing to resist, Shi Yunsheng was finally put on a tiger head hat after fluttering with his hands.

Two semi-circular ears stand on top of the head, with round eyes and a wide mouth underneath. Because of the high ponytail, the hat is pushed up high.
The sword eyebrows were deep and pressed down, Shi Yunsheng's black eyes were also round, his cheeks were slightly red, and his expression was dull.

Shi Dai's exclamation came from the bottom of her heart: "Cute."
Shen Liushuang pinched one of the ears: "Cute."

Shi Yunsheng grinded his teeth secretly.
Rather than going out shopping, he would rather practice swordplay for three days and nights without sleep.

Shi Jingcheng and Meng Ke came out and happened to see this scene.
Meng Ke couldn't hold back his laughter: "Whose child is this? He's a tiger-headed boy, he's really energetic."
Shi Jingcheng stroked the new hair tie that had just been tied up: "Tiger and tiger make wind."

Shi Dai smiled, picked up the two ears on her hat and shook them gently: "Yunsheng, the new year is even more powerful."

She bought several sets of new clothes in Zijin Pavilion and asked the store to deliver them to Shi's house. Shi Dai walked out of the front door with a fluttering white on her eyelashes.
She raised her head and saw black clouds in the sky and a cold moon, and heavy goose feather snow falling.

Snow has fallen frequently in Chang'an in the past few days, and the snow on the ground has not disappeared. When Shi Dai stepped on it, she heard a soft rustling sound: "It's snowing!"

"On the Lantern Festival, you have to get some snow."
Meng Ke said: "The lanterns reflect the snow, and the scenery is the best."

The sky was completely dark, and compared to the evening, the streets were much more lively with pedestrians rubbing shoulders.

In a sea of ​​people, children are most likely to get lost. Shi Dai habitually stretched out her hand and took Shi Yunsheng's wrist: "Let's go buy lanterns?"

You don’t have to look for lantern shops, they can be found everywhere in the streets.

A few people chose the largest stall, stood still, and saw a few familiar faces.

"what?"
Yin Rou, the deputy commander in charge of Weisi, crossed his arms: "Commander, Boss Meng."

Turning her gaze, she fell on Shi Dai and the others. Yin Rou's eyes narrowed: "Come to the lantern festival?"

Beside her, Bai Qingpingting stood with a gentle smile.

The two of them were wearing winter skirts, one red and one white, with ferocious animal-faced masks hanging above their heads.
Shi Dai exchanged a few pleasantries, then her eyes moved and she caught a glimpse of the figure behind them.

A zombie as strong as a hill poked its head out, carrying Song Ningyan sitting on its shoulders.
Then there was a stern face with two dog ears dangling from the top of his head. It was the puppet master Xiao Hei.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Rutang's lively voice came: "What a coincidence, you guys also——"

Liu Rutang spoke with a Northeastern accent: "Oh, mother."
Lady Bai Jiu wrapped around her neck: "Oh!"

Liu Rutang confirmed again and again that he was right.

She knew that today was a holiday and everyone was dressed up and dressed up.Shi Dai's clothes were what she expected, but...
Why is even Jiang Baiyan wearing red?

Please God forgive her for her random thoughts.
A red dress with a red skirt looks like a wedding dress.

A good match.
The corners of Liu Rutang's mouth twitched slightly, but he did not suppress the crazy rising smile.

Guessing the reason for her smile, Shen Liushuang's eyes fixed and gradually became sharp.
It turned out to be the case.
No wonder she had a premonition that there was something fishy about Liu Rutang.

Apart from them, there are also several Zhenesi colleagues.
Shi Dai greeted each one and asked curiously: "You guys came together?"

"Yes."
There was a colorful insect on Yin Rou's shoulder, and it flapped its transparent wings as she opened her mouth.

Flicking its wings, Yin Rou smiled: "There are so many people and it's so lively."

"Shangyuan is the day of reunion."
Liu Rutang said: "There are people from all over the world gathered in Zhen'es, and most of them can't go home tonight. The deputy commander invites us to come out to celebrate the festival and keep each other company."

Some have no father or mother and are alone, and some have traveled thousands of miles and are far away from their relatives.
They are all comrades who have lived and died together. Even if they are not connected by blood, they still have a deep friendship with each other.

Shi Dai looked around: "Is Yan Qinghuan here?"

Yan Qinghuan came from the south of the Yangtze River and had no relatives in Chang'an. With his character, he must be very interested in the Lantern Festival.
Shi Dai was stunned not to find him in the crowd.

"We invited him."
Liu Rutang replied: "He said he has an appointment, maybe with other friends."

She changed the subject and mentioned it casually: "Mr. Jiang is wearing red clothes. This is the first time I have seen him."

She bought the clothes. Shi Dai and Yourong Yan said, "Doesn't it look good?"

Of course Liu Rutang nodded: "Your red dress is also very beautiful."

Chen Che, who was choosing lanterns for her, paused slightly and cast a pair of dark eyes.

The next moment, Liu Rutang poked her arm and heard her whisper:
"Shall we go to the clothing store later? Let me change your clothes. Who wears black on the Lantern Festival?"

Chen Che has a rough temper, wears black clothes and a black hair tie, and looks as simple as possible.

Seeing his gaze, Liu Rutang hurriedly said: "Don't think too much, I don't plan to buy you new clothes! It's just that when you walk beside me, you must have something to wear."

Chen Che was silent for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "Okay."
He was tall and had long fingers. He handed over a snake-shaped lamp: "Do you like this?"

Liu Rutang happily accepted it, while Lady Bai narrowed her eyes and hissed the letter.
Young man, you are wise.

Yin Rou chose her ninth lantern: "This is for Lu Lu."
Every time a lamp is released, this person will ask for one for each of her Gu insects.

Bai Qing took it for granted and helped her carry four of them.
Xiao Hei holds the other four.

"The highlight of the Lantern Festival is to put up lanterns."
Shi Dai explained to Shi Yunsheng: "When we buy the lantern, go to the river and put it into the water, and at the same time make a wish, maybe it will come true."

Shi Yunsheng: "Really?"

A very simple question, and the answer is undoubtedly "false".
Shi Dai smiled and coaxed him with a warm voice: "It depends on your luck. There are too many people making wishes, and there is only one God who can't listen."

Ahri in her arms wagged her tail.

There is no truth in the world that everything you wish for will come true. The laws of heaven are always there and it is impossible for things to fall into the sky.
Praying to God for blessings is just a way for human beings to comfort themselves.

If it could really fulfill its wishes at will, it would not be suppressed by the laws of heaven and would not be able to reveal the key information of the world-destroying disaster to Shi Dai.

Wearing a white round hat chosen by Shi Dai, Ali sighed.

"No matter what, it's always right to make a sincere wish."
Shi Dai said: "Look, which lantern do you like?"

Shi Yunsheng's eyes rolled around.

The lanterns come in various shapes, but he is not interested in the gorgeous polygonal gauze lanterns: "Why are there no wolves?"

People put up lanterns for good luck, and wolves are evil beasts, so they are naturally excluded.

Shi Yunsheng grew up with the wolf and still has a wolf demon elixir in his body.
Shi Dai thought for a while: "Because wolf-shaped lanterns are difficult to make. You see, they look majestic, with sharp teeth and long hair, and their demeanor is not easy to imitate - if you make it a little wrong, they will turn into dogs." "

Shi Yunsheng's expression became subtly frozen.
Recalling one or two ulterior memories, he stopped dwelling on it and quickly ended the topic: "I got it."

Not to mention lanterns, even some real wolves may be recognized as puppies.

Burying the memory deep in his heart, his eyes wandered and finally stopped.
Shi Dai saw it was a round rabbit.

Even Shen Liushuang showed rare surprise: "Do you like rabbits?"

"good."
Shi Yunsheng said without hesitation: "Rabbit is delicious."

It is indeed Xiaolang’s thinking logic.
Shi Dai smiled: "Okay, okay. Let the cook cook rabbit meat tomorrow - what will sister choose?"

Shen Liushuang picked up a five-cornered silk lamp: "This."

The lamp body is simple and smooth, painted with ink forest and bamboo, casual yet elegant.
It's a style that Shen Liushuang would like at first glance.

Shi Dai nodded and looked aside.

Meng Ke and Shi Jingcheng were surrounded by colleagues from Zhen'Esi, who seemed to be teaching them cultivation techniques.
When others asked for advice, Shi Jingcheng always taught them everything.

Jiang Baiyan stood in front of the stall, wondering what he was thinking.

Shi Dai took a step closer to him: "What kind of lamp do you like?"

Jiang Baiyan looked up.

No matter how lively the occasion was, when he was silent, he always showed a bit of world-weary desolation.
As soon as he raised his eyes, most of the coldness dissipated, and his pupils were filled with candlelight, like thousands of bits of gold, which outlined the outline of his face sharply and beautifully.

"I know very little about lanterns."
He spoke in a gentle and innocent tone: "Can you pick one for me?"

Like Shi Yunsheng, Jiang Baiyan is celebrating the festival for the first time in several years.
Shi Dai didn't think much and nodded righteously.

"This is a white elephant lantern, symbolizing the purity of the sea, Yan and river."
She glanced around and patiently introduced: "Next..."

After her eyes settled, Shi Dai picked up a fish lantern with colorful patterns.

"The meaning of fish is very auspicious, and there will be plenty every year."
She showed her face and said, "Do you want it?"

The fish lanterns are large in size and colorful. They use special craftsmanship. The bamboo strips fixed inside can swing left and right to imitate the wagging tails of colorful fishes.

Jiang Baiyan thanked him and took it, smiling softly.

"Mutual exchange."
Seeing him accept it, Shi Dai was in a better mood: "Will you help me choose one too?"

She was dazzled by the variety of lamps. When she picked up this one, she felt that the other one was better. She couldn't bear to part with it, and she was almost aroused to have a phobia of choice.

It's better to let Jiang Baiyan help her choose.
Shi Dai was very curious about what kind of lantern he would choose.

Holding the fish lantern in his left hand, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes.

After nuzzling into Shi Dai's arms, Ah Li secretly looked at his expression.

Red clothes are gorgeous. If the momentum is not enough, it will be tacky.
Jiang Baiyan held up the clothes very well, but...

When he suppressed his smile, his body was filled with crimson color. It was not like he was looking at the lanterns, but like he was looking at a corpse that was about to be dissected.
He is a kind of subtle madness, very much like the villain in the novel who kills people if he disagrees with him.

Jiang Baiyan stretched out his right hand.
The fingertips were slightly cool and touched a bright color.

The lantern is small, smart and exquisite, with two erect ears on the top of its head, and a few slender beards on its face, like -

Cat.

A strange feeling flashed through her heart, and Shi Dai asked, "Why a cat?"

Jiang Baiyan looked no different. When he mentioned the cat lantern, his eyes were magnanimous: "Just like you."

Shi Dai was slightly startled: "Where does it look like?"

Jiang Baiyan remained silent, seeming to be thinking.
After taking a breath, he raised his eyes slightly: "Maybe... they all like to eat fish and take naps?"

The tone of voice was very soft, teasing like a joke.

At home, she does go to the dining room to sleep last every day, and she is very self-aware of this.
Taking the lamp from Jiang Baiyan's hand, Shi Dai smiled and said seriously: "Good eyesight, Jiang Baiyan has fiery eyes."

After choosing the lamps in front of the stall, Shi Dai took Shi Yunsheng's hand and headed to the river with her Zhenesi colleagues.

The night is already dark, and the moon is hanging on a thin line, as bright as water.
There are countless painted boats parked on the Phoenix River, and the boat fire reflects into the water, interspersed with the street lights, creating a hazy arc.

There are already many lanterns floating down the river, drifting to a distance beyond the reach of the field of vision. Thousands of lanterns are pouring down like the Milky Way.

People in twos and threes can be seen everywhere along the river, mostly young men and women who behave in an intimate manner.

Shi Dai helped her brother light the lantern: "Have you made up your mind about your wish?"

Taking the white rabbit from her, Shi Yunsheng thought seriously.
Just as I lowered my eyebrows, I suddenly heard a familiar childish voice: "Yun Sheng - Shi Yun Sheng!"

Shi Yunsheng froze.

Shi Dai had never heard this voice before, so she guessed the identity of the person coming and turned her head following the sound.

Not far away stood a boy of six or seven years old, holding a young man who looked like his father in one hand, and holding an imposing dragon lantern in the other hand.
In comparison, Shi Yunsheng's rabbit is well-behaved and pitiful.

Shi Yunsheng's face was expressionless and his mind was blank.The boy's eyes lit up and he said excitedly to his parents: "It's him! This is the new classmate who brought us snacks!"

What a coincidence, I met him here.
The new classmate hugged a fat white rabbit lantern and wore a very cute tiger head hat.
As in my impression, he is a gentle and good man, but he really just looks cold.

——How can a child who likes rabbits be bad?
Shi Yunsheng:......
Touching the lamp in his hand and the hat on his head, he was stuck in place, with a steady stream of heat coming up.

"The kid is shy."
The boy's father laughed heartily: "Thank you for sending Haoran the flower cake. We have discussed it with him and will bring you some gifts in return tomorrow."

Shi Yun nodded quietly: "Yeah... ok."
Shi Dai whispered: "Remember to mention Shangyuan Ankang!"

Enduring the burning temperature on his face, Shi Yun's voice gradually became softer: "Shangyuan Ankang."

The boy said seriously: "You too."

He remembered that his new classmate was shy and would blush when talking to others.
He will definitely help Shi Yunsheng get used to school in the future and prevent this good classmate from being bullied.

What exactly did Li Haoran misunderstand? Shi Yunsheng kept his eyes blank, unwilling to guess.
He only knows that rabbits are bad and so are tigers.

The boy quickly said goodbye and left. Shi Dai looked at his back and sighed: "Your classmate is so enthusiastic."
She smiled brightly and touched Shi Yunsheng's arm: "Okay, how is your wish?"

Before he could recover from the shock just now, Shi Yunsheng's eyes were in a trance.

The wish is——
Let Li Haoran forget everything that happened tonight.
Or when he wakes up tomorrow, the rabbit will turn into a powerful beast, and the status of the rabbit lantern will rise.

wrong.

Distraught, Shi Yunsheng stared at the river.
The river rippled with the wind, like ripples in his heart.

Shi Yunsheng rarely thinks about what he wants.

When living with wolves, he instinctively tried to save his life, and later returned to the Shi Mansion——

He wants to improve his sword skills and become as strong as his father.
He also wants to resolve the demonic elixir in his body as soon as possible and become a true human being.

But in the end, the only people left in my mind were these people around me.

He curled his lips and rubbed the rabbit lantern's ears with his fingertips, which felt hot due to the proximity to the fire.
Shi Yunsheng squatted down by the Fenghuang River and put the lamp into the water as Shi Dai said.

He can practice sword skills on his own, and the demon pill will eventually dissipate.
He couldn't think of anything fancy to say, he just hoped that God would bless his family in safety.

The rabbit entered the water and swayed slightly from side to side. A breath of winter wind passed by and pushed it away.

Shi Dai asked: "What wish did you make?"

I won't tell her.
Shi Yunsheng turned away and snorted: "If you say your wish, it won't come true."

Shi Dai was surprised: "You still know this?"

Shi Yunsheng said in a faint tone: "I am a child, not a fool."
His sister is the idiot.

Shen Liushuang helped him fix his tiger head hat that was blown away by the wind, and joked: "Could it be that the rabbit turned into a beast?"

Shi Yunsheng's ears suddenly became hot: "No!"

Shi Dai kept laughing and pushed the river lantern into the water. Before making a wish, she did not forget the ritual feeling of putting her hands together.

Her wish is very simple, I hope everyone is safe and well, and the disaster of annihilation is successfully resolved.

Shi Dai was usually smart and lively, but now she closed her eyes, her fair cheeks reflected in the moonlight, like snow on the branches, calm and sparse.
Her field of vision was so dark that she couldn't notice the sight of others. When she opened her almond-shaped eyes, she saw that Jiang Baiyan's fish lantern had also entered the water.

Very close to her cat -
Because the fish lantern is placed at the back, at a glance, it looks like it is chasing the cat and biting it.

This fish looks so fierce.
Quite inappropriately, Shi Dai laughed out loud.

Jiang Baiyan turned his head and asked her, "Why are you laughing?"

Shi Dai held her chin in her hand and looked at him, making a deliberately frightening expression: "If your fish lantern is too close, be careful of being eaten by my cat."

Jiang Baiyan blinked, and his black pupils were like the calm lake water under the moon, suddenly ripples appeared.
His voice was soft and slow, bringing out the casual laziness, as if he was smiling: "It's okay to eat it."

Shi Dai: "Huh?"

She didn't have time to ask.
Not far behind, there was a sudden noise.

Looking back, it turned out that the lantern riddle activity by the Phoenix River had begun.

"Guess the lantern riddle?"
Song Ningyan sat on the zombie's shoulder and let out a long yawn: "Is there any reward?"

"Of course there is."
Yin Rou gears up and gets ready: "This time I must guess the right one."

Bai sighed softly and smiled indulgently: "Go, I'll stay with you."
Yin Rou was born in Miao territory and knew very little about the culture of the Central Plains. She never guessed a single lantern riddle correctly. Year after year, she became more frustrated and braver.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Bai Qing said to the tall young man in front of her: "You want to try it too? You have written a storybook, guessing lantern riddles is not a problem, right?"

Humans’ pastime is weird and boring.
Xiao Hei nodded: "I'll try."

Liu Rutang's mind was not on the lantern riddles, and her eyes followed the lanterns in the river.

She could see clearly that after Shi Dai closed her eyes, Jiang Baiyan pushed the fish lantern towards her lamp.
One cat and one fish, eat and be eaten.

If you have read it, you can still remember the plot clearly. Liu Rutang felt that it would be impolite for her to think about it any further.

Shi Jingcheng stood upright, standing on the left side of Meng Ke, and could clearly see the writing on the first lamp.

[The feet are calf-high, wearing a red hat and a white robe. 】

A series of meaningful silences.
Several eyes moved at the same time, silently looking at Shi Yunsheng who was wearing a tiger hat.
The new robe he put on in Zijin Pavilion was exactly white.

Shi Yunsheng:......
Shi Yunsheng was distraught and asked his sister: "Is it targeting me?"

"It's not personal."
Shi Dai: "You are small and your legs are not high."

People say no?
Shi Yunsheng opened his eyes in disbelief.

While everyone in Zhen'es was hesitating, someone else had already answered the correct answer: "Red-Crowned Crane."

Then the second lantern bloomed.
[Sitting is sitting, standing is sitting, walking is sitting, and lying down is sitting. 】

Shi Dai had seen this lantern riddle before, and the answer was "frog".
but--

Silence again.
Several eyes moved again, silently looking at Song Ningyan who was sitting on Fei Zheng's shoulders.

This person uses zombies as a means of transportation. Even if everyone's memories are searched, they will all show her sitting up and down lazily.

Song Ningyan:......
When lying on the bed, she lay down.
She wanted to refute, but she was very tired, so Song Ningyan decided to close her eyes and take a nap.

Yin Rou felt inspired and said: "Some places are officially called Zhen'esi."
Bai Qing thoughtfully said: "It may actually be a rare bird garden."

They even have wild dogs, white snakes and poisonous insects here.
There was also a fox lying in Shi Dai's arms.

Holding Ah Li in her arms, Shi Dai smiled and arched her eyebrows: "Here comes the next question."

After she finished speaking, she moved closer to Jiang Baiyan and whispered, "Are you still used to it?"

Shi Dai remembered that Jiang Baiyan didn't like the excitement.
He has had that experience since he was a child. He has been alone for a long time and it is difficult for him to be enthusiastic about talking to others.Earlier, Jiang Baiyan had refused every celebration banquet hosted by Zhen'Esi.

He was probably not used to being surrounded by loud noises.

Although she thought being lively was not a bad thing, Jiang Baiyan didn't like it and Shi Dai wouldn't force it.

Shi Jingcheng was answering questions for the juniors in Zhen'Esi and couldn't get away for a short time.
"How about," Shi Dai lowered her voice, "you, me, Sister Liushuang and Yunsheng, the four of us, go shopping elsewhere first?"

Shen Liushuang raised his eyebrows.

four people?
Where does Shi Dai want to invite Jiang Baiyan?They don't plan to stay in crowded places?By the way, the Lantern Festival is also a festival for men and women to meet...

Shen Liushuang thought intently.
Would it be better for her and Yunsheng not to go?

Secretly tutting in her heart, Shen Liushuang glanced at Jiang Baiyan.

She now likes Jiang Baiyan everywhere she looks, but dislikes everything she looks at.

I felt that his sword intent was too murderous, but then I thought about it, this is the real invincible swordsmanship.
I think his looks are too attractive, but this is the only way he can match Shi Dai.

I wanted to beat him, but I had to help him.

Shen Liushuang closed her eyes.

"It's okay if you two go together."
Chen Liushuang said: "I want to talk to Yunsheng..."

Really unable to make up a suitable reason, Shen Liushuang said a little awkwardly: "Discussing knife skills."

Shi Yunsheng:?
what are you saying?seriously?
"I mastered a set of sword techniques yesterday, and Yun Sheng asked me about it."
Shen Liushuang's expression remained unchanged: "I was talking to him about swordsmanship, but it sounded boring to you. Why don't we split up in two ways?"

——Dede, take the opportunity yourself. My sister can only help you so far.

Shi Yunsheng:?

To be fair, he was very interested in communicating with Shen Liushuang and would not refuse.
But... he had never heard of "I mastered a set of sword techniques yesterday"!

Unexpectedly, Shen Liushuang said this, Shi Dai was stunned.
Most of the Lantern Festival has passed, they have finished setting off the lanterns, and there are no other important activities.

The rest is just walking around at most.

It's okay if we separate...?
Shen Liushuang and Shi Yunsheng were discussing sword skills, but she was chattering on the side, which only disturbed them.

Shi Dai looked at Jiang Baiyan: "Can you do that?"

Shen Liushuang secretly felt cold.
This brat wants it all.

Jiang Baiyan: "Yeah."

So the final word was made.
In the howling cold wind, Shen Liushuang watched Shi Dai and Jiang Baiyan leave with her own eyes.

Shi Yunsheng's expression was complicated: "What sword skills have you mastered?"
He was very concerned about this.

Shen Liushuang: "Sword skills? Who still talks about swords during the Lantern Festival? In life, you must know how to enjoy it."

His eyes suddenly opened wide, Shi Yunsheng's pupils trembled, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Cheating, lying to children?

"I'll teach you sword skills tomorrow. Don't mention that word for the rest of the night."
With a slender arc raised at the end of her eyes, Shen Liushuang lazily twitched the corner of his mouth: "On the Lantern Festival, I will take you to go shopping for delicious food and fun."

She pinched the round tiger head hat in front of her: "Are you leaving or not? It's going to be fun."

It's hard to guess what adults are thinking.
His stomach growled, but Shi Yunsheng couldn't resist the temptation after all, and pretended to be calm: "Let's go."

*
Shi Dai herself didn't understand how the vast group of people ended up being her and Jiang Baiyan.

If I remember correctly, this was the first time the two of them went shopping alone.

"We were at the river just now," Shi Dai smiled, "You really want to leave?"

Jiang Baiyan did not deny it: "Yes."
He also smiled: "Thank you. I thought you would persuade me to say something to them."

"...I intend to persuade you."
Shi Dai said honestly: "But after thinking about it, isn't it like forcing me to practice sword practice?"

She has no interest or talent in practicing swordsmanship, just like Jiang Baiyan has no interest in socializing.If someone shamelessly persuades her to learn swordsmanship, Shi Dai will be upset and put that person on the blacklist.
What's more, personality is a habit in the bones, how can it change because of her few words.

After a pause, Shi Dai added: "And...you don't seem very happy?"

Jiang Baiyan couldn't express his emotions or anger, and she could only get a glimpse of it from his sometimes dark eyes.
Standing by the Phoenix River, his eyes were dark, with emotions that Shi Dai couldn't understand.

"How come."
Jiang Baiyan's voice was clear and smooth: "I'm just not used to too many people."

This statement is [-]% true and [-]% false.

He was indeed tired of the hustle and bustle, but that was not what he cared about today.

——To this day, Jiang Baiyan still clearly remembers the scenery by the river.

Shi Dai has a pleasant personality and is very popular. She can always say a word or two to anyone she meets.
She looked leisurely when talking to people, with a smile on her cheeks, and the light in her eyes was reflected by the lights.

The stagnant feeling in the painting came back and settled on his heart, like a heavy rain coming and dark clouds covering the sky.

I want Shi Dai to look at him like that.
Look only at Him and always look at Him.

But her smile and kindness had been given to too many people, and she treated him no differently.

For a moment, Jiang Baiyan had the idea of ​​hiding her, so that his eyes could no longer accommodate anything else.

"After eating the Lantern Festival, the lanterns have also been put out."
Shi Dai was very interested: "Let's go find some snacks? There are a lot of delicious food on the streets of Chang'an."

Jiang Baiyan: "What do you want to eat?"

"You don't understand that."
Shi Dai raised her chin: "There are too many delicious things to choose from. It depends on fate——"

She wanted to continue whispering, but someone walked between her and Jiang Baiyan, causing Shi Dai's voice to pause for a moment.

Almost all the men, women, old and young from every household have left the house. No matter how big Chang'an City is, it is still a little crowded to accommodate so many people.
Especially where they were located was the crowded West Market.

"so many people."
Shi Dai hugged the little fox in her arms tightly: "Let's leave the West City and go somewhere else?"

It's so busy here that you can't even hear what's being said clearly.

Should we get closer?There was some distance between her and Jiang Baiyan, and from time to time someone would sneak in and come over to separate the two of them, blocking their view.
Shi Dai needed to keep a close eye on him so as not to be scattered by the crowd.

Several more young people passed by in a hurry. Just as Shi Dai was about to get out of the way, she suddenly felt a breeze blowing by her side.

It’s the familiar cold fragrance.
A corner of her sleeve flicked against her palm, followed by a cold temperature.

Before they were further apart, Jiang Baiyan held her hand.

Fingertips, to be precise.

He only pulled lightly, and Shi Dai subconsciously moved closer, bumped into Jiang Baiyan's shoulder, and quickly moved away.

My heart beat wildly for a moment.
His voice came from above his head, gentle and polite, with no emotion: "This way you won't be separated."

Jiang Baiyan asked: "Is it okay?"

Shi Dai: "..."
Shi Dai: "Yeah."

When she spoke a word, her final voice trembled slightly——

With permission, Jiang Baiyan moved his fingertips upward and followed her fingertips.
What started as a tentative touch gradually turned into an intrusion of marrow-eating taste, passing through the finger bones and slowly caressing her palm.

It's definitely not a normal hand-holding, it even goes beyond the realm of ambiguity.

It's hard to describe this feeling, skin touching each other, warmth blending together, like a snake climbing up, absorbing her warmth.
Jiang Baiyan's movements were extremely jerky, and every inch of progress was cautious, like an ignorant and naive child.

He asked very gently: "Miss Shi, is that so?"
Feeling confused, he actually called me the usual name.

Shi Dai was also in a state of confusion, remembering the hug in the painting.

Jiang Baiyan doesn't know how to hold hands, nor does he understand the feeling of intertwining hands, so is that why he moves around without any rules?

His eyebrows were lowered and Jiang Baiyan's breathing was slightly erratic.

The West Market was noisy, but he heard the sound of his own heartbeat, which was beating down like a drum.

Like stroking a piece of soft warm jade, he tightened it greedily. His body, originally cold, gradually became infected with Shi Dai's heat.

The place where the two of them touched each other was filled with uncontrollable tremors, making his heart feel hot.

This reminded Jiang Baiyan of the first time he killed his enemy.

He spent a lot of effort to find a black-clad killer. When the sword edge pierced the man's chest, Jiang Baiyan's spine trembled and his heartbeat accelerated.
Smelling the strong smell of blood, he was enveloped in indescribable joy. Afterwards, feeling bored, he skinned and tore the opponent's bones.

My feelings today are exactly the same as that day.
In fact, the heart beats faster and more fiercely.

The difference was that Jiang Baiyan was unscrupulous that day, crushing every bone of the man and laughing softly at his screams.
At this moment, he didn't even dare to use any force. He was like a toddler, trying to drag her around.

not enough.
The knife marks on his arms were painful, and he jumped up and begged for more.

... something is wrong.
Shi Dai thought.

Jiang Baiyan's way of shaking hands was very wrong. It was almost a random nudge. His fingertips were trembling as the skin touched each other.

Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes.
The thumb was calloused and rough to the touch, as if curious, it crossed Shi Dai's palm.

Caught off guard, an electric itch spread all over his arm.
She subconsciously withdrew her hand, but was firmly restrained by Jiang Baiyan, unable to retreat. She could hear his chuckle in her disordered breathing.

The silhouette in the eyes is filled with misty lights, and the smile outlines a fascinating arc.
Jiang Baiyan asked softly: "Are you ticklish?"

He did it on purpose.

The tips of her ears felt hot, and Shi Dai was slightly startled.
Then he spread his fingers like a contest and held his palm with his backhand.
