It's another Chinese Valentine's Day.

I don't know how many years have passed since Shen Lian and Huang Xi got married.Shen Lian is casual, taking Huang Xi to play around, and the places he goes to are almost never repeated.But every Qixi Festival, I have to come to Chang'an once.

In a person's life, there are always some dead things, which have been static for thousands of years, but contain the best memories and meanings. Looking at those things, it seems to be seeing the past.

For the two of them, Chang'an was such a place.

I don't know how long it has been since I first came here, hundreds of years?For thousands of years?During this period, both Huang Xi and Shen Lian had ascended to become gods, and the Jianyan Inn was no longer seen in the alleys of Chang'an.But in the familiar streets and alleys, the hands of the two are still tightly held, just like before.

Chang'an this year is extraordinarily prosperous.This year's Qixi Festival is extraordinarily grand.Legend has it that on the day of Qixi Festival, the monarchs of the human world get married, and the whole country celebrates together, and the sky and eyes are full of the happiest bright red.

In this bright red, the two people followed the flow of people, holding hands tightly, and went to the Huahe River to watch the lanterns.

Although they never had the habit of being superstitious, the two always bought a pair of lanterns, with their hopes and long-cherished wishes for the future written down, and put them on the Huahe River when they were children.Knowing clearly that it is just a hazy vision and not very useful, but doing this year after year.

The so-called sending a lamp to pray is not what is actually written on the lamp, but who is accompanying me by my side.

After all, Huang Xi's temperament is still reserved, and she is always unwilling to tell Shen Lian what to write. Shen Lian does not give up lightly, and always finds ways to peek, but she never succeeds.

Although he felt it was a pity, he was still open and honest with Huang Xi.Every time it was written on the lamp, it was Huang Xi's name.

When I saw it for the first time, Huang Xi once asked: "This is for you to write down your vision. It is for you to pray for something. What do you write my name for?"

Shen Lian just smiled, put his arms around him and said, "Because what I want most is you."

What Shen Lian said to Huang Xi was always so naive and sweet, and some words were repeated hundreds of times, but neither of them ever got tired of it.Because every scene, every sentence's affection is so fresh and so different.Every day when I open my eyes and look at the person next to me, I will have the feeling of heart pounding when I first met.

After putting off the lanterns, the two stood on the small bridge of the Huahe River, watching the flowing water with thousands of red lights, holding hands tightly, and making fun of each other.

Shen Lian put her arms around Huang Xi, and said softly: "This year, I want to make a bet with you. This bet is very fair. Even you, I will be strict about the outcome."

Huang Xi looked at him, not knowing what else he was planning secretly, and said: "Then so what if you win? So what if you lose."

Shen Lian lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "If I win, I want you right now. If I lose, I'll let you want me once, how about it."

Huang Xi tilted her head, her pupils were shining brightly, as if she had really thought about it seriously.

After all these years, he has never done anything like that.Although I was curious, I was probably used to it and didn't have that kind of heart.

Rather than really wanting it once, it's better to say that he wants to see how Sapo Laipi doesn't fulfill his promise after Shen Lian loses the bet.

So he nodded and replied, "OK."

Shen Lian's eyes lit up, and said: "If you say it, you can't go back on your word."

Huang Xi nodded: "I can't afford to lose, so why not bet?"

Shen Lian's treachery succeeded, and he smiled close to Huang Xi's face: "I'll bet you, how many lanterns will float on this flower river tonight. If you are right, you win, and if you are wrong, I win."

Huang Xi pushed him, frowned, and said: "Tricky trick, it's not fair."

Shen Lian said: "Why is this unfair? It's either right or wrong. The outcome is [-]-[-]. I think it's fair." He bit Huang Xi's lips and said: "What's more, you have already agreed. I still want to regret it."

Huang Xi looked at Huahe, only to think that she was being tricked by Shen Lian again.

Then, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Today, a total of 99 lanterns floated by."

Shen Lian was startled, as if he had never expected that Huang Xi could really tell the number, he only said: "How is it possible, have you counted the cups?"

Huang Xi smiled and said, "How is that impossible? Have you counted the cups again? If you can't prove me wrong, then I've won. Why don't you stay here tonight, count the cups one by one, and finally , and then catch them all for me, if it’s not 99, win it tonight, and I’ll give it back to you.”

Shen Lian was speechless for a moment.

How could he have the time to fish for lanterns?

He had been thinking about this method for a long time, in order to see how Huang Xi stubbornly refused to admit defeat without knowing the answer.

As a result, after some calculations, he was finally trapped by himself.

Huang Xi looked at Shen Lian's embarrassment, her shoulders couldn't help shaking, she was about to laugh out loud, she just wrapped her arms around Shen Lian's neck, and said, "You can't? Then obediently admit defeat, tonight, you have to..."

Unexpectedly, before the words came out, Shen Lian bit her lips.

It was just a kiss, but it seemed to be suffocated, making him out of breath. After a long time, he was still lying on the ground panting for a long time.

Shen Lian leaned on him and said, "Tell me, what will I get?"

Huang Xi refused to admit defeat: "You have to - um..."

Just such a sentence, on this busy night, I didn't say it when I finally arrived.

Huang Xi has Huang Xi's methods, and Shen Lian also has his own shameless cleverness.

In the end, in the ghost king's mansion, the red candle tent was warm, and it was bright all night.

That night, the two of them didn't sleep at all, one of them couldn't stop for half a moment, and the other couldn't speak half a sentence, the two of them were entangled and rolled on the couch.In the depths of love, an old bed was shaken and creaked, as if it was about to collapse in an instant.

In the confusion, what Huang Xi said the most was: "Shen Lian, you bastard, you are too skinny..."

Hearing this, Shen Lian seemed to be praising him, and said: "Baby, if you have time to say this sentence, you might as well finish the first half of that sentence."

Only then did Huangxi remember, and continued: "If you lose, you have to—— um..."

As a result, it still didn't work.

Instead, it made Shen Lian more rhythmic again and again.

The night passed, and all the candles in the palace were burned out.Wax tears fell on the ground, smears of red, so coquettish and eerie.

It was finally dawn, but both of them were tired, hugged each other on the couch and fell asleep quietly.

It seemed to be a tacit understanding that on the day after Qixi Festival, no matter how big the ghost palace was, they would not dare to disturb it.Unless you see Feng Wang coming out of the ghost king's bedroom with a blushing face.

The joy of Qixi Festival seems to be a rule, and it has never been missed every year.

A prosperous dream.

See all the Chang'an lamps.
