Hundreds of lanterns floated above the Qinghe River, and people in twos and threes stood by the river, laughing and talking.
The breeze was blowing, and the fragrance of flowers drifted past the tip of his nose. Mu Changting looked up at the starry sky, smiled slightly, and enjoyed the rare peace and tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.
Vendors selling candied haws walked through the streets, yelling loudly, and the candied haws stuck on the grass target were red and glistening.
The glutton in Mu Changting's stomach moved, and he told Xing Yusheng to wait for him where he was, and ran towards the old man happily.
Xing Yusheng stood quietly under the tree, looking at Mu Changting's back in a daze, a soft and shy voice sounded behind him: "Brother Xing, what a coincidence, are you coming to the Lantern Festival too?"
The young man was wearing a purple embroidered cloud suit unique to high-level disciples, and his handsome features made him even more heroic. Instead of making people feel intimidated, the indifferent aura gave off a feeling of wanting to be close but afraid of offending him by saying the wrong thing. Unhappy anxiety. However, I haven't seen him for more than three months, and his stature has grown a lot. The handsome young man looks back and stares quietly.
Xu Biyun's cheeks turned red again, and she felt extremely nervous.
Xing Yusheng gave a "hmm" and said lightly, "Just take a stroll."
Xu Biyun bravely looked up at him, blushed and said softly, "Thanks to senior brother Xing for saving his life last time, Biyun never had the chance to thank senior brother personally, this is, this is the sword tassel I made up myself, Brother, please accept it."
She handed over a light blue sword tassel, which was very delicately braided.
Xing Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at her face carefully, and then remembered that the girl in front of her was the one who was rescued in the Immortal Sword Trial last time.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Biyun bit her lip and whispered, "I don't have any other intentions, I just want to thank senior brother."
Xing Yusheng is not a fool, and this kind of situation has not happened before. He instantly understood the girl's mind.
This Jiansui was even more unacceptable, Xing Yusheng remained silent, not knowing how to refuse.
At this moment, Mu Changting's smiling voice broke the embarrassing atmosphere between the two: "Junior Sister is really eccentric, and I also contributed that day, why did he save you alone?"
Xu Biyun's eyes were slightly red, and he was about to cry. Hearing this, he quickly put away Jiansui and walked down the steps: "Senior Brother Mu is right, I didn't think carefully, I should make up two."
She glanced at Xing Yusheng, with deep disappointment and unwillingness in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Then I will go first, and next time I will send it to the brothers together after we make it up."
Mu Changting quickly smiled and thanked: "Then I will have the cheek to thank my junior sister first!"
The girl turned and ran away. Mu Changting watched her run fast while wiping away tears, and couldn't help sighing.
Xing Yusheng looked at him: "Why are you sighing?"
Mu Changting didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he stuffed him with a bunch of candied haws, and said, "How can you treat a girl like this?"
Xing Yusheng thought for a while, and said, "Maybe if you don't show up, I might accept it."
Mu Changting let out a long "Oh" and sighed with feigned regret: "So, do you think I caused you to lose the chance to accept the gift? Well, what should I do then? Why don't I chase my junior sister after you?" come back!"
A faint smile flashed in Xing Yusheng's eyes: "Also."
Mu Changting rolled his eyes at him, and took a bite of the fruit. The sweet and sour taste hit his taste buds, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes: "Forget it, I think you broke people's hearts, maybe you won't be here in the future. I don't care about you anymore."
Mu Changting walked towards the bustling long street, and Xing Yusheng followed closely.
Taking Xing Yusheng all the way to a musical instrument shop he just passed by, Mu Changting walked in, picked out a jade flute from it with a clear goal, handed it to Xing Yusheng, and said with a smile: "How about this?"
The jade flute is full of jasper, the material is transparent, and the tentacles are warm, it is not ordinary at a glance.
Xing Yusheng nodded: "It's really good, do you want to buy this?"
Mu Changting smiled, and asked without answering, "Do you like it?"
Xing Yusheng didn't know what he meant for a while, so he nodded hesitantly.
"Then I'll give it to you!" Mu Changting smiled, turned around and asked the boss to buy it, and said to Xing Yusheng, "Didn't I make you miss a gift? This jade flute is for you."
The jade flute was so precious, Mu Changting bought it for Fu Xifeng to play with on a whim, he believed it, but now he said it was bought for him. Xing Yusheng still had self-knowledge, knew it was impossible, and insisted on asking: "I don't believe it, why give it to me, I don't want it if I don't make it clear."
Mu Changting was helpless: "You..."
Xing Yusheng was stubborn, so Mu Changting waved his hand and could only explain with a smile: "I happened to see it when I came to buy candied haws just now. The owner said that this jade flute has an nickname called Shengge. I think this jade flute is quite similar to your name. Yes, and if I remember correctly, your birthday is coming soon, so this will be my gift to you."
Xing Yusheng's heart moved, and he said in a daze: "Why do you know..."
Mu Changting touched his nose and turned his head away.
Xing Yusheng suddenly realized, yes, when he was in the land of Jianzhong, he also saw everything about his past through the sword spirit.
Although the illusion has more or less recorded every detail of his life, it is just a flash memory, and it is not easy for Mu Changting to bother to notice this.
Xing Yusheng pursed his lips, held the jade flute in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Mu Changting smiled brightly: "Let's go, I'll take you to a good place!"
After buying a few jugs of good wine, Mu Changting took Xing Yusheng and jumped to a rooftop.
Mu Changting took the lead to sit down, opened a jug of wine and took a big sip, then smiled and sighed: "The scenery here is beautiful, look, there are stars all over the sky when you look up, and you can see the mountains and rivers at your feet .The beautiful scenery is in front of you, the wine is next to you, life is like this, so happy! Wonderful!"
It was only then that Xing Yusheng noticed that the roof where they were located was the tallest moon-watching building in the whole town.
With a smile on his lips, he walked up to Mu Changting and sat down, followed his example and opened a pot of wine, and drank it boldly, his handsome face relaxed, and the melancholy that had been pent up in his heart seemed to be As the drink fell down, it burned up hotly.
Mu Changting laughed loudly, picked up the wine jar and clinked glasses with him, no matter what time it is, let's get drunk!
Zhou Zhi was under the care of Fu Xifeng, so Mu Changting was not worried at all.
Xing Yusheng is a boring gourd, most of the time it is Mu Changting who is talking, and Xing Yusheng is listening quietly, occasionally responding a few words. But even so, Mu Changting was still very happy, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he lived in such a reckless and unrestrained way.
After hiccupping, Mu Changting's eyes blurred, and he said with a smile, "In the past, Ah Feng and I would often sit on the roof drinking and chatting. Later, after joining the Qingxin School, it was not so happy."
Xing Yusheng didn't drink much, his mind was clear, and after hearing Mu Changting's words, he asked, "Have you known each other for a long time?"
Mu Changting said with a "huh" and nodded heavily: "I've known each other since I was very young. My parents died young, and I lived with my eldest sister since I was a child. Later, my sister got married and I couldn't go with her. Ah Feng's parents have the same relationship with my parents. The life-threatening friendship offered to adopt me, and then...then I lived in their house."
Xing Yusheng didn't think that his parents had passed away, so he was stunned for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Then you are a student of the Qingxin School, won't it be a long time since you can see your sister?"
Mu Changting smiled bitterly, and murmured: "Sister, well, it's been a long, long time since I saw you." He raised his head and took another sip of wine, "She is weak, she was married not long ago, when she gave birth to a child Dying to die."
Mu Changting has always given people the impression that he is optimistic and cheerful, as if there is nothing in the world that can make him unhappy.
It turned out that when he was sad and depressed, it was like peeling off the strong shell, revealing the softest and most fragile side inside.
Mu Changting smiled at him, feeling the shadows in front of him, he couldn't help holding his head with his hands, and murmured: "Look, I'm actually alone, so I can understand you very well, but just like you What mother said, you should be strong. Although your loved ones have passed away, there are still many scenery waiting for you to see in this world. They also hope that you will live well, right? My sister said that there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome if you have hope. …”
The two were very close at this moment, their fiery breath intertwined.
Xing Yusheng stared at him with deep eyes, feeling sour in his heart.
Mu Changting smiled briefly again, and then stood up staggeringly.
The night wind blew his black hair up, and with a faint smile on his lips, he shouted to the world: "Sister, Changting is doing well, don't worry!"
He turned around, stepped on the eaves, raised his hands to maintain his balance, and walked towards the edge step by step.
"I'm really good now..." He muttered in a low voice, swaying left and right, walking in a frightening manner.
Xing Yusheng knew that he was probably quite drunk at this time, so he followed behind him with a frown.
Mu Changting walked safely to the end, turned to look at Xing Yusheng, and smiled triumphantly: "Haha! Great!"
Xing Yusheng is as good as others: "Excellent."
Mu Changting waved his hand to tell him to step back, but he still had to walk back.
Xing Yusheng backed away a certain distance, but Mu Changting thought he didn't back far enough, so he waved his hand again, telling him to back away, but Xing Yusheng couldn't, and no one could reason with a drunkard, so he backed away a little more.
The distance was enough, and Mu Changting started again satisfied.
His head was very heavy, and his eyes seemed to be glued tightly after they were closed and refused to open them again. Mu Changting walked a few steps with force, but suddenly his feet slipped, and he threw himself forward!
Xing Yusheng's heart was suspended, and he flew over in a hurry, hugging him in his arms.
He stopped in a hurry, and Mu Changting rushed towards him with great force, unexpectedly knocking him back several steps! After finally standing still, the two raised their heads at the same time, his cold lips brushed against the soft corners of Mu Changting's.
Xing Yusheng was stunned, his heart beat fast, and his voice was as loud as a drum, but the person in his arms was ignorant and smirked at him in a daze.
Mu Changting's cheeks were flushed, and the water in his eyes was rippling, which made Xing Yusheng's eyes dim.
