For a moment, Ye Youqing felt a rush of hot air rushing up from his feet, and when passing through his heart, he clearly felt its tremor and throbbing.

Ci Ke didn't seem to react, her body didn't move, her lips were softer than expected, and she could taste the sweetness through the gauze.

The fireworks hadn't stopped yet, and the bright flames illuminated a large open space. Ye Youqing couldn't help but close his eyes, watching the flames dance through his eyelids, and his eyes were orange.

It seemed as if no sound from the outside world could be heard, only his own heart beating like a drum.

Bang, boom, boom.

The veil slowly slipped off, revealing Ci Ke's face, his eyes were wide open, and he looked caught off guard, but not only did he not avoid it, but even a small piece of joy and dimples flashed across.

At this moment, a piece of gunpowder burst out of the fireworks stand and bounced towards the two of them. Ye Youqing caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and quickly leaned back away from Ci Ke's lips, and pulled Ci Ke aside by the way. Falling like wings.

"Ye Youqing, you..." The grated words murmured in his mouth, and Ci Ke's eyes suddenly became moist. At this time, the fireworks burned out, the surroundings gradually became dark, and the breath of gunpowder smoke spread.

"You have never been a catastrophe." Ye Youqing said, putting his hand on the back of her head, gently kneading along the downy hair, which caused Ci Ke to tremble, and his chin slightly raised.

"The catastrophe will not look so good-looking." Ye Youqing said, "I can still believe that it is a fairy from the sky who went down to save the catastrophe."

When Ci Ke heard the words, he laughed through his tears.

"The immortal is pure and upright, how can a woman like me be worthy of it." Ci Ke said softly.

Ye Youqing exhaled, she bent her waist slightly, and said to Ke Ping, "What kind of woman are you?"

Ci Ke looked at her for a while, and said in a smooth voice, "He has a lot of thoughts and will use any means."

It is true, Ye Youqing smiled.

"If you are not serious, you should die. You are very brave." Ye Youqing said seriously, "You are the bravest girl I have ever seen."

Ci Ke's mouth moved, and suddenly he lowered his head, and threw a bean-sized teardrop on the ground: "Then what about the fact that I lied to you? I used you to get close to you time and time again. Have you forgotten?"

"Forgot." Ye Youqing said crisply, she gently embraced the man's shoulders, gently pushed her closer to her, and watched the woman put her forehead against her shoulders, while her soft hands climbed up the rock, trembling while pinching the lapel .

"I always thought you would look down on me." Ci Ke sobbed.

Seeing her cry, Ye Youqing's heart melted, and he patted her on the back lightly: "Don't hold back alone in the future, even the strongest people can't bear such patience, cry when you want to, and talk to me if you want to talk." Accompany."

Then can you stay with me all the time, Ci Ke wanted to say, but stopped.

She knows how much she depends on Ye Youqing, but she doesn't want Ye Youqing to feel burdened.

"I will always be with you." Ye Youqing said.

Ci Ke's shoulders trembled even more, and he cried and laughed, covering his lips with his hands.

A kiss can really make people know what they think, even if it's just a taste.

Ye Youqing really wanted to taste some more, wanted to hold the girl in front of him, kiss away her tears, kiss away her trembling and sobbing, and even want to kiss her...

It turned out that this was what Shili said he liked.

Ye Youqing's eyes darkened, and then he smiled sweetly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, put it in Ci Ke's hand, watched her wipe away tears, and apologized: "I wanted to make your birthday happy, but I don't want Made you cry."

Ci Ke sniffed, her swollen nose seemed to be more beautiful than usual, she shook her head with tears, suddenly put her hand into Ye Youqing's palm, and after being wrapped by Ye Youqing, she pursed her lips in satisfaction.

"But I feel better," she said.

"Then it's best, go back with me, Shili also said that I have prepared a gift for you." Ye Youqing said with a smile, she took the very obedient Ci Ke, and strode in the direction when she came back, "Everyone remembers your birthday , everyone cares about you."

"Then what about you?" Ci Ke whispered.

"I care most about it." Ye Youqing turned his head, and Ci Ke's smile became shy and satisfied.

When the two of them reached the door, they heard the commotion in the courtyard, the noise seemed to be breaking open the wooden door, it was completely different from the dead silence just now.

Ci Ke glared slightly, watching Ye Youqing push the door open, a burst of festive lights suddenly came into view, the small courtyard was full of lanterns, bright as day, the trees around the courtyard stood out from the crowd, and the dark clouds were also thin a bit.

The aroma of the food attracted a few stray dogs, barking and whimpering outside the door, wagging their tails. The horse who was carrying the plate threw a few bones over, and they whimpered and took them away, chasing each other away.

The haze in Ci Ke's heart was dissipated by the fireworks long ago, but now it was filled by the lights again, and only joy remained on his face.

The door next door opened, and a familiar old man staggered out leaning on a wooden stick, looked towards the courtyard, and smiled kindly: "It was you who made the noise, but what's the happy event?"

Ye Youqing pushed Ci Ke out, teasingly said: "Her birthday."

"Birthday? Happy birthday!" The old man said, waving for them to stop, then turned and went back to the courtyard. When he came out again, he held a few eggs in his arms and stuffed them into Ci Ke's hands.

Ci Ke took it with some trepidation, and said lightly: "This..."

"It's a custom in Weizhou that we must eat one on this birthday, to win a prize in our hearts. Don't be too polite, just take it." The old man said, waving his withered hand towards Ci Ke.

"Thank you, old man." Ci Ke was a little at a loss while holding the egg, and bowed his head in thanks.

Weizhou's folk customs are really simple, Ye Youqing quickly pointed to the courtyard, and said with a smile: "We made dinner, why don't we come and eat some together?"

The old man waved his hands quickly when he heard the words: "No, no, I'm old, it's time to rest, you little ones can eat by themselves."

As he said that, he narrowed his cloudy eyes and said to Ye Youqing: "Why does your girl look familiar, where is that little official in the courtyard?"

Ye Youqing smiled, and answered calmly: "I left Weizhou a few days ago."

"It must be because of bandits kidnapping people. Don't be afraid. Now that the young people who have been kidnapped are being sent back one after another, our Weizhou is finally at peace again."

"Okay, let's go in quickly, I'll go to rest." The old man said, turned around tremblingly and went back to the house, closing the door.

"Thank you!" Ye Youqing shouted towards the door with a high voice, then blinked at Ci Ke, stepped into the door, and walked through the outer courtyard.

Ma Da was carrying a plate and putting it on the stone table. Seeing Ye Youqing and Ci Ke, he hurriedly shouted to the door: "Young escort, the girl is back!"

Hearing this, Shili's figure appeared in the shadows, holding two lanterns in his hands, walked quickly to Ci Ke, and said with a loud smile, "Ci Ke, how about the fireworks?"

Hearing this, Ci Ke pursed his cherry lips, seemingly annoyed: "So you all know that you are cooperating to deceive me."

"How dare I lie to you, it's not Xiaoqing's idea." Shili shirked his responsibility, and then stuffed the lantern in Ye Youqing's arms, "Go, help Master hang up this lantern."

Ye Youqing had no choice but to take it, walked to the dry willow tree that hadn't hung a lamp, and looked up to study.

While looking at Ye Youqing, Ci Ke put the eggs given by the old man on the stone table. At this time, the table was already full of big fish and meat, and it was difficult to put a few eggs.

"Ci Ke." A man's mellow voice sounded from behind, and Ci Ke turned around, only to see Zhou Hongzheng approaching at some time, holding up a knife-cut bird, and handing it to Ci Ke.

"Now that I have no money, I can't afford to give you any good things. I can only give you some small things." Zhou Hong blushed a little, and he turned the bird in Ci Ke's hand, "This is the bird you used to engrave on me when you were young." I came to give it to you, and I thought it was troublesome at that time, so I never did it for you."

"Don't think..."

"I like it." Ci Ke held the lifelike wooden bird with a smile on his face, fondled the bird's tail with his fingers, and the tail could swing up and down.

Seeing that she was happy, Zhou Hong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled too. He reached out to touch Ci Ke's head, and the corners of his eyes were red.

"Ci Ke!" Ye Youqing's call suddenly came from the side, and Ci Ke turned his head quickly, only to see Ye Youqing playing with the lantern, trying to hang it on a branch.

Ci Ke put the wooden bird into his arms, then ran towards Ye Youqing with the hem of the skirt, and looked up with her: "Can't you hang it up?"

Ye Youqing stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "It's too high, I can't hang it up."

Ci Ke's fox eyes flickered, and he looked ten miles away, but was called back by Ye Youqing.

"Come on, I'll hug you, you hang up." Ye Youqing said.

Before Ci Ke agreed, she gave the lantern to Ci Ke, then squatted down, hugged Ci Ke's legs, and when she stood up again, Ci Ke's head touched the swaying willow branch.

"Ye Youqing!" Ci Ke cried out in fright, and hurriedly grabbed some useless willow branches, blushing, "It's too high."

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Ye Youqing smiled secretly, and said with his neck raised.

Seeing that she wouldn't let go, Ci Ke could only raise his hands bravely, hook the hook on the lantern into the branch, and then said in fear: "Hang it up, let me go!"

Ye Youqing let go of his hand, and Ci Ke fell to the ground with a scream. Before falling, Ye Youqing hugged his waist, his upper body tilted, and he staggered and fell on Ye Youqing, with his hands clasping her shoulders.

I don't know whether it's because I was scared or what, my heart was pounding.

"Ye Youqing, what are you doing!" Ci Ke raised his head to blame in fright, but almost drowned in the woman's deep sea-like eyes, his body floated up and down, and the words disappeared from his mouth.

"Are you happy?" Ye Youqing opened her red lips and said softly.

Ci Ke nodded, secretly put in some strength, let himself lean deeper in her arms, until his cheek touched her neck, then narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and hummed.

"Look, now you have more family members than usual." Ye Youqing whispered in her ear, patting her slender and soft back as if comforting.

"Let's celebrate our birthday first and don't think about anything else. If you want to worship your relatives, I will accompany you at midnight." Ye Youqing said again.

The tip of Ci Ke's nose was sour, and the heart lake seemed to be boiling water, steaming warmly.

The kiss that was ignored just now because of the unexpected reappeared in my mind, just thinking about it made my legs ache, and then I felt intense joy.

The light of the lantern above her head dimly shone, she opened her eyes, and saw the eyes of Shi Li and Zhou Hong sitting at the table, she was dazed, and hurriedly pushed Ye Youqing away, straightened her clothes, and at the same time faded away the blush on her face .

Ye Youqing also turned around, met Zhou Hong's eyes, watched Zhou Hong blushing and looked away, and turned to look at the dishes on the table.

"Let's go, if you don't eat any more, the food will be cold." Ye Youqing said, and took Ci Ke, who was obviously stiff, and sat down together.

When Martha brought a bowl of egg custard at the end, the birthday banquet was ready. Ci Ke called Mian'er softly, and the girl ran over from the corner shaking her short legs, and hugged Ci Ke with a smile.

Ci Ke carried the girl to an elevated chair, and six people, five, one, and one, gathered around the dining table and began to have a lively meal.

"Here." Ye Youqing reached out to pick up a peeled and braised prawn, and put it near Ci Ke's mouth.

Ci Ke glanced at Zhou Hong, lowered his eyes and opened his mouth to take it.

Looking up again, Zhou Hong was carefully looking at the two of them from the corner of his eye. When he was discovered, he quickly moved away, put a piece of unpeeled shrimp into his mouth in a panic, and chewed hard.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, pretended to pick up something, and touched Shili secretly, and only opened his mouth timidly when Shili came over.

"Is the relationship between Ci Ke and elder brother always this good?"
