At this moment, looking at the colorful fireworks rising over Yangzhou City, lighting up almost half of the sky, I seemed to have returned to that night in Jixian Hall, and saw that thin figure standing alone in the fire...

...In a trance, that figure stood on the Yangzhou city tower again, surrounded by joy, but he always looked up with a hint of coldness. The light of the fireworks illuminated the mask on his face, and also illuminated the loneliness in his eyes.

He gave me a free and brilliant sky, but he stayed there alone.

I stared blankly at the sky shining like daytime, and a warm hand gently touched my shoulder, waking me up from the illusion. I turned my head and saw Pei Yuanxiu's gentle pair of eyes also illuminated by the fireworks.

He looked at me with his eyes and said softly: "Qingying?"

I turned back to look at him and smiled.

Tonight, he is hosting a banquet for thousands of old people. He is the busiest person in Yangzhou City, so how can he be lonely?

At this moment, someone around suddenly said: "Look, what is that?"

Pei Yuanxiu and I both raised our heads and saw a dazzling light appearing on the other side of the Yangtze River. At first we thought it was another novel fireworks, but the light actually lasted for a long time and slowly flowed. Only then did we realize that

Those were not fireworks, but floating lights that moved slowly with the flowing water. The floating lights slowly spread and soon dispersed on the river surface, as if someone had sprinkled a bright starlight on the Yangtze River.

We were all stunned when we saw this wonderful scene.

After a while, some sporadic lights drifted closer to us with the surging river waves. After a closer look, we realized that they were actually river lanterns.

Thousands of river lanterns float on the river, lighting up the entire Yangtze River!

Above the head, there are fiery trees and silver flowers, and under the feet, there are flowing water and floating lanterns. This wonderful sight made everyone stunned, and I was almost speechless.

After a long while, I heard Pei Yuanxiu sigh: "What a beautiful river lantern."

"Yes, it's so beautiful."

"Every year, Yangzhou people put out river lanterns during the Cold Food Festival. I didn't expect that this year, such a spectacle would happen."

I stared blankly at the brilliant stars in the sky and the earth, and was so amazed that I was speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that I knew he had lost his memory, maybe at this moment, I would really think that it was him who created this amazing scene for me.

It's a pity that he has lost his memory.

All of this is just a congratulatory gift from him to me and Pei Yuanxiu.

Congratulations...

I smiled faintly and looked at the river lanterns floating slowly in the distance as the river water swayed. I remembered something and turned back to Pei Yuanxiu: "By the way, I have something."

I want to show you."

He turned and looked at me: "What?"

I smiled, turned around and made a gesture to Susu who was standing on the high platform. When Susu saw it, she hurriedly turned around and waved to the people behind her. Immediately, several servants from the palace carried a

The big box slowly came down from above.

Pei Yuanxiu looked at the box with wide eyes: "Is this - the one you brought here?"

"Hmm."

I nodded, and when they put the box down, I smiled and said to him, "I guess you've always wanted to know what's in it, but it's hard to ask me."

He nodded.

I smiled and said: "Then open it now and take a look."

Pei Yuanxiu glanced at me, then leaned down and opened the lid of the box.

A huge lotus lantern, quietly in the box, reflects the brilliance of the fireworks blooming in the sky, making it bright and moving.

Pei Yuanxiu was stunned for a while, and then he raised his head and looked at me after a while, speechless.

I smiled and leaned down, carefully took out the river lantern from the box, and held it in front of him: "Do you remember?"

He didn't speak, but his silent gaze spoke for itself. This river lantern was the one he set out outside Jixiang Village on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After being silent for a while, he finally said: "Why -"

I smiled apologetically.

When I saw this river lantern, I intercepted it. Because at that time, I didn't want him to continue thinking about me, and I didn't want him to have anything to do with me anymore, so I intercepted the lantern.

I also hope that his wish will not be known to God, and I hope that he can meet a woman who is truly worthy of his love.

But now, I know that there will never be that woman. No matter how many river lanterns I block and try to conceal from him, his mind will not change.

So——

I said softly: "Don't ask why, but now, I will put this river lantern together with you. I will help you pray for your wish so that God can hear it."

He looked at me deeply, then smiled slightly: "Okay."

After saying that, he walked to the river with me. The river was very calm at this time, and you could almost hear the gurgling sound. He and I squatted on the embankment holding the river lantern, and were about to put down the river lantern.

Go, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

I was stunned and looked at him.

Pei Yuanxiu stretched out his hand, took out the small piece of paper he wrote from the river lantern, and threw it into the river. He raised his head and looked at my confused look, and smiled: "My wish has come true.

Now, I want to pray to God. I hope God will bless us and stay together for the rest of our lives."

I smiled softly: "Okay."

After saying that, he and I put down the river lantern.

The river gurgled non-stop towards the east, taking the river lantern with it as it swayed away. Although there was only one river lantern, it was not lonely, because the thousands of river lanterns in front seemed to be its destination, and finally it slowly

Slowly blending into the stream of light.

At this time, the people in Jiangnan behind them let out loud cheers.

"I wish the young master and his wife to grow old together and be united forever!"

"My lord and madam, happy wedding!"

……

Amid their cheers, Pei Yuanxiu helped me stand up, smiled and held me in his arms.

Being embraced by those gentle arms, at this moment, I finally let go of all my guard and indulged in the warmth and tenderness he gave me. But when I leaned on his shoulder, I saw that reflection

On the Yangtze River with the beautiful fireworks, the river lantern can no longer be seen, only the waves of the river and thousands of stars are left.

This day is destined to be a sleepless day on both sides of the Yangtze River, and this night is also destined to be a sleepless night.

In order to celebrate our wedding, Pei Yuanxiu held a grand banquet. Not only did he invite celebrities from all over the south of the Yangtze River, he even set up a flowing banquet on the long street outside the mansion so that all the common people could sit down and enjoy it. When he and I returned to the mansion

When you are there, you can still hear the roar of fireworks resounding in the sky outside, and the laughter of the people.

However, unlike the hustle and bustle outside, everything in the mansion is quiet.

On both sides of the road and under the eaves, red lanterns were hung at random intervals, shining in the somewhat gloomy night. The road under my feet was not clear, but it was not dark either. I was pulled by Pei Yuanxiu, and I walked slowly in unexpected silence.

In the garden, listening to the chirping of insects in the grass at night, and the moonlight above me reflected in the lake, it gave the grand scene just now an unreal sense of staggeredness.

The palm of his hand was hot. When he held my hand, he held it a little harder than usual. He didn't say a word, but walked forward in a leisurely manner. I didn't say a word either, and I had been following him obediently since I returned home.

Him.

Finally, we reached the small bridge outside the inner courtyard.

The courtyard is brightly lit.

However, when I got here, I still couldn't see a single serving servant, and no one even came to congratulate me. I finally felt something and said softly: "Master, why is there no one here?"

He stopped and turned back to look at me: "You still call me Young Master?"

The moonlight was hazy, reflecting the light behind him, hiding most of his face in shadow. Only his clear outline and a pair of exceptionally bright eyes could be seen.

I don’t know why, I was a little uneasy by that look, and I subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that my hands fell into his palm, and I couldn’t retreat no matter how hard I tried.

And he took another step closer and looked down at me: "What should you call me?"

The hot breath blew on his face along with his words, and also brought his breath. It seemed to be calm, but it was clearly turned into a mess in the calm.

I felt the hand holding my hand let go, and slowly raised it to touch my cheek. The palm of my hand was also hot.

"Call me."

"...Yuanxiu."

Hearing the name, he seemed to chuckle, lowered his head, his face was almost completely hidden in the shadows, and said in a hoarse voice: "Call me again."

"Yuanxiu..."

"Call again."

"Yuanxiu."

"Call again."

"Yuan——um!"

His name had barely left my mouth when I felt two hot lips pressing down, taking away my voice and breath in an instant.
