On both sides of the river, lights were shining brightly, and singers were singing quietly beside them. The beautiful and melodious music soothed the hearts of those who were wandering at night. Before they knew it, Li Mo and Zhao Zhaoyuan were walking side by side.

She didn't let him, and he didn't let her.

"Is the song good?" Zhao Zhaoyuan suddenly asked.

Li Mo turned her head and looked at him, and also looked into the depths of his eyes. Zhao Zhaoyuan felt that her eyes were sharp for a moment, and then it was as if nothing happened, still calm, and she only heard her say: "Not bad, can Mr. Zhao sing poetry?"

"No." Zhao Zhaoyuan said coldly.

Li Mo smiled: "Is it because singing is a lowly art that serves others and is inferior to others?"

"..." Zhao Zhaoyuan was silent for a moment, then asked: "Do you think so?"

"It's not just me who thinks so. It's just that the eldest son of the Zhao family should all think so, right?" Li Mo smiled even more brightly, but for some reason, Zhao Zhaoyuan felt that her smile was like an invisible knife, stabbing people's hearts and stirring people's emotions.

He rarely saw a woman so bold, especially one of humble origins.

Considering her background, she was very bold, even to the point of risking her life.

What does she rely on?

Is it because you rely on your love for her?

Do you think you will spoil her greatly?

He suddenly thought of this, but suddenly he didn't want to think about it any further...

Li Mo suddenly stopped her aggressive attitude, smiled and turned her head away without saying anything else, and the two of them slowly walked with the tourists.

The two walked side by side in the bustling crowd, and the lanterns along the way were bright, like stars, shining brightly on their way forward. The lanterns on the street were in various shapes, some resembled flowers, some imitated butterflies and jade rabbits. Each lantern was extremely exquisite. I heard that this lantern festival was the "Yanyun Lantern Festival" held every 30 years, and the first place would have a huge prize, so many craftsmen from other places also came here to participate.

And I heard that someone temporarily increased the reward for the first place in this lantern competition, which was three times the original amount, so those skilled craftsmen were like being injected with chicken blood.

Walking to the center of the hottest market, I saw the high-hanging lanterns, tied to the air with invisible silk threads, dangling densely between the moon sky and the ground, like a layer of starry sky that people can touch, so shocking...

They swayed gently in the breeze. Zhao Silang and Li Mo shuttled between the lanterns. At this time, the lantern selection was at its climax. The selection site was crowded with enthusiastic people and a little chaotic. All they could hear was someone shouting, "Dragon lanterns, nine dragon lanterns are the best."

"No, the Seven Phoenix Lantern is the most beautiful and gorgeous. The feathers look like they are alive."

"No, the bunny lantern is the cutest and most interesting. It should be the first place."

"Butterfly, butterfly lantern..." People were arguing with each other, their faces red and their voices rising one after another, making it very lively.

Zhao Zhaoyuan, who was beside Li Mo, suddenly asked, "Which one do you think is prettier?"

Li Mo raised his eyes, looked at Zhao Zhaoyuan, and said, "Fourth Master, which one do you think I look better?"

"You didn't answer, but asked me my own question instead, because you didn't have an answer, and you thought every one of them was unattractive."

Li Mo admitted that he was absolutely right.

All I can say is that she is no longer at the age or age to appreciate lanterns.

A lamp is just a lamp.

Li Mo, who was seen through by Zhao Silang, smiled and said, "Fourth Master, you have a good eye. It's just a little secret that can't be hidden..."

This statement seemed like a compliment... Zhao Silang narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "But you don't agree with this..."

"Have it?"

"Of course." Zhao Silang stared at Li Mo's face and said softly, "Compared to my brother, you are more relaxed around me. It seems that you dare to say anything and do anything. I can't guess what you are going to say or do... Why?"

"Why?" Li Mo looked back at him with a smile: "What does the Fourth Young Master want to ask the most?"

Zhao Silang narrowed his eyes slightly. She was actually pressing him step by step, turning defense into offense, and asking him about his true inner thoughts... Usually women would not hold such an attitude when there is an ambiguous relationship between men and women, because men in the world like weak and gentle women.

But she is like a night rose, a rose with thorns that can prick people's hearts.

She continued, "Do you want to ask what I want to do, or why I ignore your brother and only take it easy with you?"

Zhao Silang's fingers, hidden under his sleeves, trembled slightly. This trembling was for no reason and he couldn't control it. However, he felt a strange feeling surge into his heart, which was extremely dangerous and extremely confusing...

He was rarely disturbed by women, and the woman in front of him was the first one.

He felt a little excited, a little happy, and a little disgusted... Maybe it was because this was the first time he felt this emotion. He was stunned for a while before saying, "I want to ask, what do you like..."

I like...

Normal people would think that he was asking Li Mo which young master of the Zhao family she liked...

But Zhao Silang said, "Which lantern?"

"Ah?" Li Mo was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Silang pointed his bamboo-like finger toward the sky. There was a thin layer of callus on his middle finger, which made people feel familiar. He flicked his finger lightly, and countless lanterns, like stars, slowly began to rotate above them with Li Mo as the center point...

The children began to scream with joy, and the adults were stunned to look at the lanterns in the sky. The lanterns were spinning like a whirlpool in the night sky, as if it was an eternal sea of ​​lights in the starry sky. As the lanterns spun, the people around seemed to be brought into a dreamlike world.

Some of these lanterns were small and exquisite, like red lotus and white butterflies, while others were huge and magnificent, like giant dragons and fire phoenixes. As people looked up, they slowly cleared a space above the glass, and then a huge white lotus pink-core lantern emitting moonlight appeared in the middle of the lanterns, emitting a dazzling light, like the bright moon in the world, and all the lanterns were eclipsed by it.

The petals were covered with a golden halo, dreamlike and breathtakingly beautiful. As it slowly descended, people could see the fine glow of light flowing under its petals, drifting down from the sky, like an inverted Milky Way, leisurely spreading in the world...

The dazzling and sacred lantern seemed to have captured everyone's attention as soon as it appeared. At this time, no one could dispute the result of the best lantern. Zhao Silang moved his fingers lightly, and the shocking white lotus like the moon slowly shrank. Finally, it turned into a small and dazzling jade flower and fell into Li Mo's temples...

People were amazed, not knowing whether they were regretting the disappearance of the most beautiful lanterns or envious of the honor and favor that Li Mo had received at this moment. Once they saw the handwriting of this young man, even those who did not know Zhao Zhaoyuan would guess that he must be from a wealthy or noble family. And when they saw Li Mo's stunning face, they would feel that everything seemed natural.

Amid the crowd's discussions, Li Mo curled her lips slightly, smiled at Zhao Silang and said, "Fourth Young Master, what a generous move."

"Of course, I'm not like my elder brother and the others, I won't favor women. And I hope... you at this moment, remember me at this moment..." He looked deeply into her eyes, and raised his fingers gently...

"Really..." Li Mo smiled with an ambiguous tone. Then he said, "Tonight, the Fourth Young Master has mentioned the First Young Master twice. Do you care about him?"
