[Whirlwind Girl] Moon White

"...Tingyi, there are so many people, walk slowly."

On the tenth day of May, the Anyang Lantern Festival is held, and the banks of the Luotang River are crowded with people.

Seeing Tingyi walking further and further away, Ruobai's steps became more frequent, and his hands kept separating the people around him.

Hearing Ruobai's words, Fang Tingyi turned around, and a few steps away, Ruobai's tall and straight figure was very obvious, with a still cold face and frowning.

Have you ever had such a friend, no matter where you are, he will meet you across mountains and seas, and across mountains and crowds.

Memories go through the time tunnel, Fang Tingyi thinks of when she was a child, when she was very small.

The Anyang Lantern Festival in my memory was as lively as today, and there were as many people as today.

The few children of them rushed into the crowd in twos and threes. They were not tall and quickly disappeared in the crowd.When I was a child, my elder brother liked to be lively, probably because the environment of Fang's family was too lonely, he yearned for a little light and adorned with fireworks, and he disappeared all of a sudden.At that time, brother Chuyuan was also at the age of playing, and he was attracted by all kinds of beautiful lanterns on the street vendors and turned his eyes away.

The little Fang Tingyi realized that she was separated from the big guys when she was beside the long legs of the big guys, but when she turned her head, she saw the gentle and shy Ruobai.

It's been almost ten years. Although Fang Tingyi has been here every year since then, Fang Tingyi has never been lost with everyone again, but the peace of mind at that moment when she looked back at the beginning still accompanied her through the long river of time.

The boy's figure ranged from short to long, and his delicate and round face was as cold as a knife.

The girl's hair changed from short to long, and her delicate and small face became more and more beautiful.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Through the crowd, Ruobai came to Tingyi, saw her staring at him blankly, and asked.

Tingyi laughed suddenly, "I'm waiting for you. Hurry up, the river lights will be picked out."

Ruobai said calmly: "Eating so much and running so fast, I'm not afraid of indigestion." Although he said so, he still let Tingyi pull his wrist and squeeze into the crowd.

Fireworks are already blooming in the night, dimming the rising moon.

"...Sure enough, the lotus lantern looks simple and beautiful. What do you think, Ruobai?" Fang Tingyi picked and picked at the river lantern sales place, and finally chose a pink and white lotus-shaped river lantern.

Ruobai glanced at the lantern in Tingyi's hand that almost blocked her upper body, and said, "Folian...why don't you choose another one?"

"Huh? Is this a Buddha lotus?" Tingyi asked, "I thought it was an ordinary lotus, but it's okay. When I made a wish, I was blessed by the Buddha, and this one is the biggest."

Ruobai shook his head helplessly, "Only elderly grandmas would pick Buddha lotus, and you don't believe in Buddhism, you'd better get another one."

The Buddha said: love parting, resentment and hatred meeting, letting go and returning home, there is nothing like it.it's just what you see, but nothing deep.

Fang Tingyi thought, I didn't believe in Buddhism before, but now I have to.

How could I miss it.

Ruobai's eyes scanned all kinds of river lanterns on the platform, and he randomly picked up a colorful butterfly and handed it to Tingyi, "It's small and easy to put."

Seeing his hand, Tingyi curled her lips: "Your eyesight is really bad enough. How can such a girly thing suit me? I don't care, I want this, this looks good."

Ruobai insisted: "This is too big, it will be dangerous for a while, be careful not to fall."

"Anyway, with you here, what am I afraid of?" Tingyi muttered, poking the butterfly lantern with her finger, "This is clearly suitable for Xiaoying and the others, and they don't understand me at all."

"Do you know how many people from the Lantern Festival fall headlong into the Luotang River every year?" Ruobai was indifferent, put down the Butterfly River Lantern, took over the big Buddha lotus from Tingyi, weighed it, it was indeed a bit Heavy.Almost everyone in Anyang practices martial arts, and everyone is very skilled. If so, accidents will happen every year when the river lanterns are set off.

Some people slipped on the soles of their feet, some people had an unstable center of gravity, and some people accidentally fell due to the crowd pushing and shoving each other.

"How many people?" Tingyi asked.

Ruobai spoke silently, "Yifeng drank several mouthfuls of river water before going up to the Lantern Festival last year."

Tingyi's pupils were slightly startled, and a few seconds later he burst out laughing, "Then he must be fighting with Xiaoying, and he would fall into the river with his skills, which really embarrasses us Songbai."

Seeing Ruobai's deep eyes, Tingyi continued: "Oh, don't worry, it's just a river lantern. I haven't done this for a long time, so let me fulfill my little wish." She pointed Looking at the lotus lantern in his eyes, he said, "This one is big enough, and it will be replaced once it has been missing for a few years."

Seeing Tingyi's persistence, Ruobai felt helpless, that's all, just look at her for a while, this time to satisfy her little responsibility.

"Then let's go. If you go late, there will be too many people, and you won't be able to get down the river."

Tingyi happily followed Ruobai, "It's because those old ladies would choose such river lanterns. Don't you think these old people always make wishes come true when they make wishes?"

"Instead of making a wish, it is better to do everything well."

"Cut..." Tingyi pursed her lips, "I won't make a wish for you in a while."

Ruobai said flatly, "Thank you, there's no need."

What the Anyang Lantern Festival seeks is peace of mind. The old people say that this is more effective than Buddhist temples.

So I believe that a moment is eternity, and finally I can start over again. I want to give everyone good wishes.

Tingyi and Ruobai came to the bank steps of the lower pond carefully, Tingyi reached out and took the river lantern from Ruobai's arms, and said to him, "Take me to light, I can't swim."

Fang Tingyi can't swim.

At the same time, she is also afraid of water.

It's not that she almost drowned in the water, but she was fooled by Fang Tinghao. Although a small lotus pond was filled with mud, although she was finally fished out by Ruobai, the heavy mud smell kept her away from the water. .

Ruobai frowned, put his arm away from the touch of those around him, and wrapped his other hand around her slender waist.

The water level rises and recedes in summer, and traces of moss can be vaguely seen on the steps they are standing on now. The old bluestone river steps always remind people of the misty and rainy Jiangnan.

Ruobai thought to himself, that river lantern weighs about three catties, and Tingyi only weighs about ninety catties. If the soles of her feet slip and fall, he can hold her.

Feeling the powerful force coming from her waist, Tingyi bent her mouth, flipped the battery switch in the lantern, bent her body under the light by the river, and carefully dropped the river lantern into the water, creating a burst of small waves and circles circle ripples.

Hands together.

The family is well.

My friend is well.

Take care of yourself.

Looking at the river lanterns far away along the river, carrying good wishes, even though she knew that there would be sanitation workers cleaning downstream early in the morning, Fang Tingyi still chose to believe—sincerity leads to wisdom.

She turned around, Ruobai was right behind him, met the young man's handsome face, and said with a smile: "For the sake of our friendship for many years, I also made a wish for you just now."

Ruobai nodded, indicating that he understood.Seeing people rushing up on the small steps and security personnel directing, he said to Tingyi, "The river lights have been released, let's go."

"Well, that's fine too."

The two pass through the crowd, but at this time, by the Luotang River, no matter which direction you go, you are walking against the current.After finally leaning against a tree, Tingyi let out a soft breath: "There are too many people... Do you crowd every year?"

Ruobai was silent, and it took a long time before he said, "No, it's my first time since then."

Tingyi really wanted to give herself a slap, if she didn't mention which pot she would open. "Then, let's come together after that. Even if there are so many people, it will be quite lively."

Ruobai looked at Tingyi quietly, the girl's eyes were full of comfort.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Okay."

It didn't matter to be alone before, Ruobai.

You used to be able to watch Yifeng Xiaoying and the others happily go out to play, while you stayed in Songbai alone.

It doesn't matter, I can accompany you to release the river lanterns every year on the tenth day of May every year.

You will not be alone anymore.

Fang Tingyi knew that Ruobai hated one person the most.

In the past, he and his brother had quarreled and had conflicts, but the one who finally compromised and broke the cold war must be Ruobai.

He couldn't bear it, couldn't bear the loneliness and loneliness in the cold wind and cold moon.

"...Ah, I missed again..." Fang Tingyi put down the empty dart basket in her hand in frustration, turned her head and said to Ruobai, "Ruobai, do you think it's because I haven't practiced Yuan Wu Dao for too long?" , Now you can’t even hit such a big balloon.”

Ruobai glanced at a wall of balloons five meters away, and said calmly: "Indeed, your skills are not as good as a day or two. Even Xiaoying can't match this level."

The two were standing on the game street in the night market. After sweeping through several stalls, Fang Tingyi caught sight of a big gray plush bear, and excitedly pulled Ruobai, whose hands were full of things, to the dart-throwing game. booth.

Five meters, not very far.

Game balloons, not small either.

Twenty darts for ten yuan, all of which are the first prize, which is the bear that Tingyi is looking for.

Tingyi spent 20 yuan, forty times, and hit three times.

"Little girl, are you still here?" The boss said with a smile, probably seeing Tingyi's obsession with the prize.

Fang Tingyi snorted softly, but looked at Ruobai with a pitiful expression.

Ruobai was silent, his eyes met, and it was Ruobai who spoke first: "Hold the things yourself."

"Yes! Ruobai, you are so kind!" Tingyi immediately took the previous victory from Ruobai, several bags, although they are not expensive, but they are exquisite and small, she just likes the simplicity and cuteness of these things .

"Boss, twenty more." Fang Tingyi confidently yelled at the boss, she was sure to get that bear.

Ruobai took the small basket of darts handed over by the boss, with heavy eyes, picked up an iron dart with his slender fingers, raised his hand, and threw it, with a "pop", the balloon burst.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

A series of voices came to mind one after another. At the same time, the colorful balloons on the opposite wall disappeared one by one, leaving only solitary rubber fragments.

When Ruobai threw the last dart, Tingyi shouted happily, "Ruobai, you are awesome! My bear..."

The boss shook his head, smiled, and took off the doll bear wrapped in a transparent plastic bag from the high counter, and handed it to Tingyi.Ruobai looked at it, um, it was really big, about 1.8 meters, only five centimeters shorter than him.

"Little girl, your boyfriend is very good. This night, you are the only ones who got the prize from me."

Fang Tingyi took the big bear happily. The sudden weight and bulk prevented her from listening to the boss's words clearly. She just took it as a compliment to Ruobai. After hugging the bear, she tilted her head and said to the boss, "Of course, if you Bai is amazing!"

"Yes, yes..." The boss nodded with a smile.

Boy friend.

Ruobai, who was standing aside, wondered if Tingyi had heard these three words clearly.

His heart moved, and he looked at the little girl with a deep look, and then returned to his usual coldness.

"Give me the things." Before Tingyi could respond, Ruobai took a few gift bags from her.Now only Tingyi is interested in these things. The game street has been completely captured by the others every year, especially Yifeng, who has brought back pines and cypresses in big and small bags every time for the past few years. .

Tingyi, after all, is still a teenage girl.
