Guoguo lifted her wet face and stared at him: "There’s no cure."
Lei Hu looked at Feng Fuce, hoping the aloof Marquis would say sothing.
However, Feng Fuce seed to have already expected that Chu Ping wouldn’t succeed.
At this mont, he was calmly instructing the other Xiu Luo Envoys; tomorrow he would take the Princess to enjoy the flower lanterns, and so Xiu Luo Envoys would change clothes and hide among the crowd to protect the Princess’s safety.
...
On the night of the Lantern Festival.
The trees were ablaze with light, illuminating the splendid black and blue night.
The stars and the full moon reflected on the small river winding through the city.
A little girl wearing a small red jacket and an orange skirt hem, with a cute cat mask on.
She held the hand of a tall, slender young man.
The young man was dressed in a light red robe, and even though a gold half-mask covered his face, his side profile’s deep jawline showed his handso and extraordinary deanor.
"Brother Ce, look, so many flower lanterns!"
Bai Zhi’er tugged Feng Fuce up the small bridge, excitedly looking at the various flower lanterns on the water, slowly flowing along with the current.
Under the bridge, tourists occasionally passed by on boats.
The boatn paddled as they sang rry tunes.
Feng Fuce pursed his thin lips and smiled: "There’s a place ahead selling flower lanterns, let’s go buy so."
"Okay! Father heard that I’m coming to see the flower lanterns today and specially asked to bring one back for him."
Bai Zhi’er pulled Feng Fuce and ran down the small bridge with joyful steps.
The vendors selling flower lanterns were all gathered in the street by the river.
This was the busiest ti.
Many people wearing masks jostled together, so bringing their entire families, creating a lively scene.
For Bai Zhi’er’s small height, the crowd looked like a vast sea of people.
The little one had to tiptoe to see ahead, only to see people cramd together.
She reached back, holding tightly onto Feng Fuce’s hand, and charged forward headlong.
"Brother Ce, make sure to stay close to , don’t get lost! Otherwise, if soone picks you up, they might not return you!"
The little one muttered.
With her other hand, she tried hard to push through the crowd ahead.
However, Bai Zhi’er’s strength was just too small.
She almost got knocked over by the crowd several tis.
Fortunately, Feng Fuce moved forward from behind her, held her hand tightly, and protected her at his side, shielding her from the crowd’s jostling.
The two finally squeezed to a lantern vendor’s stall.
Bai Zhi’er quickly selected a pink lotus lantern.
She turned to Feng Fuce and asked: "Brother Ce, what do you want..."
However, before she finished speaking, Bai Zhi’er’s eyes widened in shock.
How did she end up holding a stranger’s hand!!
"Who are you!" The little one imdiately shook off her hand.
The stranger in front, a bit taller and leaner than Feng Fuce, also wore a mask.
His gaze carried so amusent.
"You were the one who pulled along, telling to stay close so I wouldn’t be picked up by soone else. I should ask you when you recognized ?"
It was a very young voice.
Bai Zhi’er widened her glossy black eyes.
Oh no! The baby is confused!
There were so many people just now; she assud Feng Fuce was always right behind her, so she reached back and pulled soone along without thinking.
Who would’ve thought she pulled the wrong person!
Bai Zhi’er’s dark, watery eyes anxiously looked around.
Every face was unfamiliar.
Brother Ce, where are you!
At this ti, that young man had already paid, picked up two flower lanterns, and handed one to Bai Zhi’er.
"Here you go, since there are many people here, would you like to take you upstream to set them?"
Bai Zhi’er imdiately puffed her cheeks in suspicion: "I’m not going! What if you’re a bad person who kidnaps children? I want to stay here and wait for my brother."
The stranger couldn’t help but laugh: "It was you who led away, causing to get separated from my house servants. You’re more like the bad person, little one."
