"Cheng Mo, today is the Lantern Festival, don't stay too late in the teaching and research room, go home early."

"Understood, thank you teacher."

Cheng Mo raised his head from the book and smiled at the mentor who was about to leave by the door.Just after the new year, the senior brothers and sisters are lazy at work, only he lives close to him, and he is very diligent in running the teaching and research office.It was still very cold outside, and a cloud of water mist appeared on the glass windows. In winter, it gets dark early, and the street lamps blurred into a large area of ​​warm orange on the windows.Cheng Mo was stunned for a while, and gradually heard the lively sounds outside, knowing that the lantern festival was about to start.

The city where he lives will hold a Lantern Festival every year. It happens every year. The school is right in the center of the Lantern Festival. As the night gets darker, hardworking hawkers should have set up their stalls, waiting for the official start of the Lantern Festival. The gong sounded.

A person hugged him from behind, and the hot breath made his ears itch a little.Cheng Mo shrank his head, and didn't push the man away, so he hugged him. After a long time, the man seemed to smile, and pressed a warm thing to his cheek.

Cheng Mo's eyes lit up: "Sticky bean buns?"

"Just out of the pan, eat it while it's hot." The man hugged him from behind, "If you like sweets so much, you'll gain weight."

"I want you to take care of it." Cheng Mo elbowed him back, but he was not willing to use his strength. The man grunted, stood up and opened the window, and the lively voices from outside poured in.

"Go out for a walk? It's been a long time since we watched the Lantern Festival together." The warm light cast a gentle light and shadow on the man's face, softening his deeply contoured profile.For a moment, the face in front of him overlapped with the boy who looked at Cheng Mo from the classroom window that summer many years ago.The breeze that hits the face is tinged with dusk and the smell of the old days, as if everything that happened before was an absurd dream.

But Cheng Mo knew that it was not a dream, Qin Chuhe had indeed been away for many years.

And now, half a year has passed since he returned to reality from an independent game.

After the disintegration of Jupiter, its influence on the world was completely reset, and the timeline was set out of order. People who once became rich overnight because of games returned to ordinary life, and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that Cheng Mo acquired back then was also eliminated. The proof was the result of Jupiter's interference.Cheng Mo still remembered the scene when he returned to reality from the game and saw Qin Chuhe lying beside him, tears streaming down his face.

There was a lot of people on the main road, parents with children were dragged forward by the children, the stalls of ingot cakes, spring cakes, and small glutinous rice balls were steaming, bamboo horns screamed, New Year drums thumped, firecrackers crackled in every corner , the sugar blowing booth was crowded with colorfully dressed children.

The lantern market has already opened, and there are row upon row of colorful lanterns. The flickering lights are accompanied by the cries of stall owners mixed with accents from all over the world, which is full of fireworks.In addition to the traditional lotus lamps, there are also rabbit lamps that children like, small lamps held in hands, or large lamps placed on the ground with several layers, all of which look so delicate and festive.

Cheng Mo held the eight-treasure cake in his right hand, and the brown sugar Yuanxiao in his left hand. Qin Chuhe followed him silently, carrying a large bag of small prizes won by guessing lantern riddles, watching him eat the Yuanxiao with his cheeks bulging, and his eyes were very gentle. .When Qin Chuhe was away, Cheng Mo acted like a cute and cute kid, but he was actually spoiled by Qin Chuhe, and he didn't pretend to be a cute baby in front of him, showing his bad taste.

Cheng Mo was uncomfortable being watched by Qin Chuhe, thinking that he was carrying his own things in both hands, and finally realized his conscience scooped up a spoonful of glutinous rice balls and handed it to his mouth: "Eat one?"

Qin Chuhe bit one, and immediately frowned: "So sweet?"

"Of course, double candy." Cheng Mo's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and there was a spark of fire in his eyes, which stunned Qin Chuhe, and for some reason remembered a line of poetry.

——Fire trees and silver flowers close, star bridge iron locks open.The dark dust goes with the horse, and the bright moon comes with people.

At this moment, the lights are full of lights, the crowds are bustling, flickering lights and bright fireworks are blending layer by layer, light snow falls from the sky, and Qin Chuhe finally touches the real world again.

The author has something to say: [Note] "Fire trees and silver flowers close, star bridge iron locks open. The dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon follows people." It comes from Su Weiwei's "Fifteen Nights of the First Moon" in the Tang Dynasty.
