"Little Uncle, I want to release a lantern!" She tugged on Lu Beichen's sleeve, becoming like a child who loves to act spoiled in front of him.
Lu Beichen chuckled, went to buy lanterns for her, and the elderly lady selling the lanterns smiled at them: "These two kids are so good-looking, they're sure to be happy and long-lasting!"
"Thank you!" Ji Niandong took the lantern from her hands, delighted by the blessing.
Since he first took her home, her fear towards him has evolved—from guardedness and cautious cooperation, to trust...
And now, finally seeing her genuine happiness!
Still so innocent and playful, stirring one's thoughts!
The elderly lady had already lit the small candle in the middle of the lantern for them, and Ji Niandong carefully shielded it with her hand, worried it might be blown out by the wind.
They walked to the riverbank to release the lanterns, where a tall wall blocked the night breeze, making it perfect for releasing lanterns.
