“What’s the matter?”
Bai Xianyu grabbed his sleeve tightly. Her slender white fingers formed a strong visual contrast with the black robe. Under the dim moonlight, there was an indescribable ambiguity.
“There are so many mud pits…”
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Xingyun bent down and picked her up. His voice was calm, but there was a faint doting look in his eyes.”… fragile.”
Bai Xianyu pretended not to hear and looked away.
When they arrived, Xie Xingyun put Bai Xianyu down. When she came down, she kept a distance from the man.
The young man looked at her position, then half-squatted down and took out a sulphur match and the river lamps he had bought from the street.
“Come here.”
Bai Xianyu leaned closer and lifted her dress to squat down. She took the lotus-shaped river lamp Xie Xingyun handed her and asked in confusion, “Why do you suddenly want to make a wish?”
Xie Xingyun looked at her and pointed at his expressionless handsome face.
The corners of Bai Xianyu’s mouth twitched slightly as she revealed a smile. “Why do you suddenly want to play with these childish things, Young Marquis?”
She did have the habit of releasing wishing river lamps every Lantern Festival, but Xie Xingyun had always felt that it was very childish and never brought her to play.
“1 come here as 1 wish,” he replied simply. “Light the lamp.”
Bai Xianyu touched the wick in the lotus-flower river lamp and approached Xie Xingyun, wanting to rub it against the fire in his sulphur match.
Under the light of the fire, Xie Xingyun’s handsome face became even more mysterious and profound. His high nose bridge cut out the intersection of light and darkness. Warm flames rose and danced in his hand. It was clearly an extremely tiny dot, yet it seemed to have the temperature to burn away the darkness of the night.
The flames reflected in the man’s eyes seemed to dispel some of the indifference deep in his bones. Bai Xianyu inadvertently caught a glimpse of it and stopped for a moment. Immediately, Xie Xingyun turned around as if he had noticed something and stared at her with his deep black eyes.
His body was clearly as cold as ice.
However, she felt that his eyes were brighter and hotter than fire.
Xie Xingyun’s voice was teasing as he knocked the top of her head not too heavily.
“Why are you in a daze?”
Bai Xianyu,
Damn it.
She had obviously seen Xie Xingyun’s face for so long, yet occasionally, she would still be dazzled; it was really bewitching.
Bai Xianyu chanted the Heart Cleansing Incantations in her heart and lit her river lamp with a look of seriousness.
Two wishing river lamps were placed into the water, and the waves swept them into the distance. Two candle lights flickered up and down.
“It’s time to make a wish.” Bai Xianyu closed her eyes and pressed her palms together.
Xie Xingyun stretched his chin to look at her. He raised his hand that was clasped by the dark golden armor and pinched her delicate face.
There were thin calluses on the man’s fingers. Bai Xianyu’s skin had always been delicate, so she immediately felt a little uncomfortable from the friction.
She opened her eyes and glared at the man. “Don’t touch me.”
Xie Xingyun’s thin lips curled up slightly, looking a little like a bandit. “What wish did you make?”
Bai Xianyu said, “It won’t work if I tell you.”
Xie Xingyun did not disturb her anymore and closed his eyes like her, but his actions were a little flippant.
After a while, the two of them finished making wishes. Xie Xingyun carried Bai Xianyu out again. Bai Xianyu could not help but ask, “What’s the second thing? What’s the second thing?”
Xie Xingyun hugged her steadily. “1 repeat, after you finish three things with me, if you take the initiative to look for me, this agreement will automatically expire.”
She, taking the initiative to look for him?
It was really unlikely..
