As the giant dragon flew away, Lin Huan fluttered down like a fairy, as if she was in perfect harmony with the surroundings, without making any sound. When she landed steadily in front of her family, the boat under her feet only shook slightly, and then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Just as she stood firm, a lively little kid pounced on her like a cannonball, using his hands and feet to hug Lin Huan's waist tightly, rubbing against her non-stop, showing great intimacy and happiness.

"Aunt Ahuan, was that you just now?" Xiao Yeqi seemed to remember that they were still in public, so she lowered her voice and laughed happily.

"What do you think? Our little fairy." Lin Huan smiled slightly, picked up the little girl and placed her firmly in his arms.

"Well, that's enough, little Aqi. We should...release the sky lanterns for your Uncle Fushe and the others." Lin Huan said softly, with a hint of sadness and solemnity in his voice.

Ye Qi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, and then she jumped down from Lin Huan's warm embrace very obediently. After landing lightly, she took two steps back and stood steadily beside her. Lin Huan smiled and stretched out his hand, tightly holding the tender little hand of little Ye Qi. The two walked side by side to the edge of the ship. Lin Huan gently lifted up the exquisite Xiao Lantern in her hand, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world. Then she carefully loosened her hands and let the Xiao Lantern float away with the wind.

The sky lantern swayed gently in the breeze, drifting slowly into the distance, and gradually disappeared into the dark night. Lin Huan stared at the sky lantern motionlessly as it gradually went farther and farther away until it completely disappeared, and at the same time silently prayed for it in his heart.

Seeing this, Ye Qi also closed her eyes and made her own beautiful wish seriously and devoutly.

At this moment, the surroundings were silent and peaceful. The people on other boats seemed to be infected and spontaneously released their lanterns. In an instant, the river surface was dotted with countless flashing lights, like a brilliant Milky Way, magnificent and beautiful.

"I hope...our lovely little Aqi can be as carefree and courageous as she is today every day in the future." Lin Huan gently stroked Ye Qi's little head and said softly.

Ye Qi nodded heavily, with a determined look in her eyes.

After placing the lanterns, Lin Huan led Ye Qi back to the cabin. The little girl leaned against her aunt, nodding her head from time to time, obviously feeling a little sleepy. Lin Huan gently patted Ye Qi's back, indicating that she could lie down and take a nap. Not long after, Ye Qi fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that someone was staring at her. She looked up and found Rong Zhao standing quietly beside the corridor. He ignored the reactions of the people around him and just stared at her intently. In his arms, he was holding a lantern that had not yet been released. Seeing this, Lin Huan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. Then, she carefully handed the sleeping girl in her arms back to her father, then stood up and walked towards Rong Zhao. The two climbed up the pavilion again, stood face to face, and let the night breeze blow, silently.

After a long time, Rong Zhao let out a sigh of relief, as if he had put down a heavy burden in his heart. He slowly handed the lantern in his hand to Lin Huan, then raised his head and stared into her eyes. Her eyes were bright and honest, like a clear spring, but they contained endless deep meaning. At this moment, the pain and entanglement that had been buried deep in his heart seemed to dissipate, leaving only the deep friendship that had experienced war and life and death together, as eternal as time.

"A Huan..." Rong Zhao whispered, his voice slightly hoarse. His tone revealed a sense of helplessness and relief, as if he had made a difficult decision. "If... this is really what you expect... then maybe I really shouldn't embarrass you anymore."

Hearing Rong Zhao's words, Lin Huan couldn't help but sigh, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She looked at Rong Zhao with complicated emotions in her eyes.

However, Rong Zhao smiled and interrupted her thoughts. "Okay... let everything in the past, whether good or bad... blow away with the wind... from today on, we are still the best of friends." His smile was full of sincerity and determination, making people irresistible.

Lin Huan didn't move or say a word, just stared at him quietly.

Seeing this, Rong Zhao smiled slightly, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I'm not entangled, I have seen everything clearly, you can rest assured." His attitude was still as free and natural as before.

Hearing this, the expression on Lin Huan's face gradually relaxed. She smiled slowly and responded softly: "...Ah, that's good...If it can be like this...then it is really my honor."

After saying this, Lin Huan slowly loosened his hand that was holding the sky lantern, letting it float freely into the distance and merge into the sea of ​​lights that was gradually moving away together with countless other sky lanterns.
