Chapter 883 Encounter again, cleverly guessing lantern riddles

Chu Xixi was amused seeing his serious face.

Realizing that they had been walking aimlessly for a long time, he suggested, "Since guessing lantern riddles won't start for a while, why don't we find a place to rest for a while, and we will go there later when guessing lantern riddles starts."

Mo Shuang naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.Mo Shuang alone was enough to attract attention, and with the addition of Chu Xixi, who was particularly eye-catching today, the two of them sat in the rest place by the roadside and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The resting place was small, and the people who were already sitting inside gathered together in twos and threes, without the bustle outside, restraining their expressions and talking to each other in a low voice.

After Mo Shuang and Chu Xixi came in, the conversation stopped for a moment, and then started again. It's just that the voice of the conversation was softer this time, and the voice sounded like a whisper.

Chu Xixi and Mo Shuang had seen such gazes a lot, and they should have been indifferent, but today they seemed very restrained. In addition to the usual envy, the gazes of passers-by also added some exploration and speculation.

Qiqiao Festival is said to commemorate the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, but I don’t know how many people are waiting for today to find a good marriage for their children. Anyone who walks in pairs on the street is looking at each other and preparing to get married. .

Chu Xixi and Mo Shuang came out together for some reason unknown to others. Although they didn't mean it themselves, in the eyes of others, they felt that they were a pair of golden boys and jade girls. There will be more happiness and envious blessings that some good things are approaching.

Mo Shuang was not a very talkative person, so even if he felt that the eyes of passers-by were a little weird, he would not open his mouth to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Chu Xixi's eloquence is good, but she is not a person who likes to talk very much. Since others are willing to read and guess, then let them go. More explanations may only draw black and white, and in the end it will have the opposite effect.

So the two of them drank tea calmly in the eyes of everyone, their nervousness and uneasiness were well hidden, and none of them leaked.

The small habitat of the people became more and more crowded because of the arrival of Mo Shuang and Chu Xixi. Many people were obviously drinking tea, but secretly looked at the two of them secretly. There is a feeling like a thorn in the back.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the small room was very strange.

"Dang~~" The gong sounded suddenly, startling everyone who was talking in low voices in the room, and Chu Xixi looked out of the room with a confused expression.

After hearing the gong beating, someone shouted outside quickly, "This year's lantern riddles guessing is about to start, all interested and talented young ladies and gentlemen, come over here!!—"

When Chu Xixi heard that guessing lantern riddles had started, she became a little excited, and her usually quiet eyes became sparkling. She turned her head and said to Mo Shuang, "Shall we go and see too?" Look.

Mo Shuang had never participated in this kind of activity before, and he was eager to try, and because of Chu Xixi's invitation, seeing her shining eyes, he couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

The rest of the people in the house were naturally waiting for the activity of guessing lantern riddles, and when they heard the yelling outside, they all started to move.

Mo Shuang and Chu Xixi were squeezed into the crowd and were forced to move forward. Mo Shuang subconsciously carefully protected Chu Xixi from being squeezed by others. Seeing Mo Shuang's careful protection, Chu Xixi felt a little shy, but was very happy.

"I don't know what the lantern riddles are like this year." A person who squeezed by the side of the road said excitedly, with smiles and curiosity all over their faces.

"That's right, last year's lantern riddles took a lot of effort to guess." Another person who was with him said so.

Mo Shuang and Chu Xixi didn't know what the lantern riddles were like last year, so they were looking forward to the lantern riddles at the meeting.

When Mo Shuang and Chu Xixi followed the crowd to the place where the lantern riddles were guessed, they both froze there.

The lantern riddles were hidden in the little red lantern, and now the lantern almost extended to the end of the market, Chu Xixi was stunned seeing the redness in front of her eyes.

The scenery is very beautiful, even the boats on the river full of singing and dancing are not so spectacular.

No wonder you have to guess more than anyone else. There are so many lantern riddles and everyone participates. No matter how many guesses, there are probably not many.

I don't know who took the top spot in previous years. I thought it was a very simple thing, but now it seems to be very difficult.

"Aren't you going?" Seeing Chu Xixi standing there in a daze, with surprise and worry in his eyes, Man Man said a little jokingly.

He was also very surprised by the sight, but the surprise was nothing but surprise, he recovered immediately, fearing that Chu Xixi would see what he was just now.

Unexpectedly, when she tilted her head, Chu Xixi stayed there like that, so she felt a little more balanced.

"Let's compete?" Chu Xixi's eyes sparked with some inexplicable fighting spirit, it was just a lantern riddle, but it was naive to even try it out.

But it's such a naive thing to do now, but it's not interesting.

"All according to Miss San's orders." Mo Shuang also thought of joking, and cupped his hands like a servant. Chu Xixi was amused by him and smiled, and then the two of them disappeared into the crowd.

It is very difficult to find the lantern riddles that you can just guess in the crowd, especially when Chu Xixi is still relatively short.

Sometimes the lantern riddles that he likes are won by others before he has time to win them. Although Chu Xixi is frustrated, he becomes more and more courageous as he gets frustrated.

Not far away, Mo Shuang was carelessly playing lantern riddles while paying attention to Chu Xixi's situation. There were so many people here, it would be bad if Chu Yurou didn't give up and sent someone to look for her again.

So it was not surprising to see Chu Xixi's childish side, and Mo Shuang looked a little happy, but also inexplicably throbbed.

Every time he sees Chu Xixi's appearance in front of him, he feels fresh.

In addition to being clever in front of Chu Yurou and the others, in addition to being obedient and forbearing in front of her parents, she still has some real childishness in front of Mo Shuang. It seems that this year's Qiqiao Festival was not in vain.

Although the town is small, there are many people.Even though there were so many lantern riddles, there were only a few left after about half an hour, probably too difficult for anyone to guess.

Mo Shuang strolled over, took down the lantern riddles, and after a quick glance, he knew the answer.That's why he was interested but never very involved.

Lantern riddles may seem complicated to others, or even impossible to guess, but to him, they are almost like pediatrics.

It's not that he's so smart, it's just that he has read a lot from small books, and has seen a little bit of everything, so he has seen almost all of these lantern riddles. If it is really a competition, he must win the top prize.

Let's not say that he doesn't have that interest, a big man like him can't really go to the competition with a girl like Chu Xixi.

Even if he wins, he won't be very happy, not to mention that he has to watch the situation around Chu Xixi, so it's better to just take a stroll.

When the final count was made, Chu Xixi was two behind No.1. She was a little unwilling, but she had nothing to say, so she could only accept the facts silently.
