"Teacher Meng, tonight is Flower Lantern Festival!" Are you free? Xiao Yuan wants to go to the night market with you! "

Ye Xiaoyuan stood in front of Meng Kang, with her head lowered and a blush on her face, she spoke like a mosquito.

Meng Kang was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Ye Xiaoyuan would invite him so directly and directly. He felt that it wasn't very good, but he found it difficult to say no.

"Um, Junior Sister Xiao Yuan, I've been feeling unwell recently so I'm not in the mood to go shopping. Moreover, he even made an appointment with Gu Tian to take care of some matters tonight. This matter of shopping in the city? You want me to think about it? "

Meng Kang was also in a bit of a dilemma, because even though he had created Ye Xiaoyuan's peerless appearance, he didn't have the slightest bit of affection for her, and had completely treated her as a little sister.

Every time he saw Gu Tian chasing after Ye Xiaoyuan, he would be humiliated.

But even so, Meng Kang had long considered Ye Xiaoyuan as his life goal, so he didn't want to get too close to her.

Hearing Master Meng's rejection, Ye Xiaoyuan bit her lips. Her face looked extremely ugly, as though she was about to cry.

She mustered a lot of courage to invite Master Meng because the Lantern Festival held an extraordinary significance to her.

Ever since she was young, she had dreamed of being able to stroll around the flourishing Shanghai City with the man she liked for the Flower Lantern Festival.

"Master Meng, where are you and Gu Tian going at night? Were they going to pick out the Golden Branch Pavilion again? If Xiao Yuan doesn't mind, Xiao Yuan can accompany you! "

The young girl was determined to minimize her dignity and fulfill her childhood dream.

Meng Kang was speechless, thinking, could it be that in these girls' hearts, I have already been reduced to the same as Brother Tian, where I always enjoy going to the Golden Branch Restaurant to drink!

Without waiting for him to reply, Brother Tian, who had been sneakily peeking at him for a long time, finally could not hold it in anymore. He rushed over and shouted angrily: "What a coincidence! Xiao Yuan's sister wants to see the flower lanterns too? We were just worrying about how stuffy these two men were! Why don't we go for a walk tonight? After you finish strolling around, I'll take you guys to a good place! It's ten thousand times better than the Golden Branch Pavilion! "

Hearing Gu Tian's words, Meng Kang could only nod his head.

Ye Xiaoyuan looked at the two men in front of him.

"That's fine! See you tonight! I'm going to train! "

Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Kang hurriedly used the excuse of his cultivation to slip far away.

Gu Tian saw that Ye Xiaoyuan's expression was a little dejected, and her heart was sour, but at the same time, it was a little pitiful. He took a step forward and said, "Xiao Yuan's sister, laugh! "You look really good when you're happy. Although your cold face looks really good, I still like the look of you smiling when you're happy!"

"Idiot!"

Ye Xiaoyuan could not be bothered with him, and turned to leave.

"Sigh!" You look the best when you're scolding! I want to see it for the rest of my life! "

Gu Tian shouted from behind.

Night time, the entire Shanghai City was decorated with lanterns and flowers, the lanterns looked like brocades.

The annual Flower Lantern Festival had arrived. The streets were filled with people walking in groups of three or five. Each of them held a flower lantern in their hands, lighting up the entire Shanghai City as if it was daytime.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street. All the shops on both sides of the street were in the night market, brightly lit and bustling with noise and excitement.

Even the hawkers on the street were doing exceptionally well tonight.

Because everyone knew that tonight was definitely a good time to do business.

Meng Kang, Gu Tian, Ye Xiaoyuan and Zi Yan were walking together on the long street. With lanterns in hand, they followed the crowd and arrived beside Luo Shui.

Countless water lotus lamps were lit on the shore. The flower lights were floating in the water like small boats. They were twinkling and swaying like the Milky Way in the sky. It was very beautiful and pleasing to the eyes.

"Hua!"

Another wave of people rushed over.

In this group of people, the young wives of the young ladies who usually didn't leave their houses and didn't step out were all dressed up in gorgeous skirts tonight. They were all squeezed into the crowd, feeling the liveliness of the festival.

As for the hot-blooded young men, they took advantage of this rare opportunity to look at the lights, desperately pushing their way towards the girl they liked, enjoying the wonderful skin contact between a man and a woman.

Such subtle scenes were common during the Lantern Festival.

However, if it was just a mutual affection, then it would be fine as long as they had a relationship between the ears and the temples. But if it was one of those pranksters who deliberately took advantage of the situation, then it would become an unsightly scene that would infuriate others.

When Ye Xiaoyuan came out tonight, she was still wearing her veil, if not she would reveal her exceptional appearance, she would very likely cause the entire street to be blocked so that not even a drop of water could leak out.

Although Zi Yan did not wear a veil, she was smart enough to put on an exaggerated makeup. It cleverly covered up Hua Kui's face, making him look like a young lady who was still considered beautiful, but not that beautiful.

Even so, the charms of the two girls were quite attractive. Quite a few of them were tempted to make a move. If not for the fact that the two ladies' escorts were not easy to deal with, they would have already rushed over to push them down.

Gu Tian rushed out from the crowd without a care for his own safety, and with great difficulty managed to grab the four strings of the famous Li Ji's candied flakes, and happily handed them over to his comrades.

At this time, it didn't matter if you were a prince, grandson, or a rich young master, it would be so arduous for you to buy a bunch of candied fruits.

"Hehe!" Do you know who I met when I was buying the candied fruits just now? King Jing! He was such a big duke, but he had actually brought his wangfei to snatch the candied flakes! How could that old guy possibly win against me? In the end, the last four strings were all taken back by me! Here! Each person will be connected to a string! "

Gu Tian's smile was especially sincere, matching with the carefree and hearty feeling unique to rich kids, and it had a lot of affinity.

Ye Xiaoyuan took the candied flakes and looked at him. She couldn't help but steal a glance at Master Meng and suddenly felt that these two boys were very outstanding.

"This life is not a wild one!" Hmm, this lamp riddle is very imposing. This was a poem in the first place? Big Brother, why don't you solve a riddle? "

Gu Tian looked at the lights on the streets, excited like a child.

"How can I be a punk!"

Meng Kang casually replied.

"Then what about losing all face? "What poem is that?"

Gu Tian pointed to another place as he asked.

Meng Kang smiled slightly, and said: "I don't know where the human face went, the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring wind. If we can't find face anymore, isn't that just losing face? "

"Damn!" You know that, why didn't you take the top scorer's test? You are full of knowledge. No wonder all the girls like you! "

Gu Tian said with a bitter face.

Meng Kang shook his head, and laughed: "All of these are just insignificant skills, if you don't believe me, ask Zi Yan, she knows how to do it, it's just that she doesn't want to say it!"

Being praised like this by Meng Kang, Zi Yan smiled, looking very generous.

Ye Xiaoyuan watched the conversation between Lady Zi Yan and Teacher Meng, then looked at Gu Tian, her heart feeling a little disappointed.

"So Sister Zi Yan and Master Meng are the same kind of people. They're both so smart!

Poems, books, articles, even the way of medicine is so outstanding. I only know how to treat illnesses, and my medical skills are even a few floors above Teacher Meng's. I wonder when it will be before I can catch up to him!

"For a moment, my lanterns are like stars, but Ye Xiaoyuan is a little self-pitying, sad and depressed.

Unknowingly, the four of them had traveled for more than four hours. The number of people on the streets had also started to gradually dwindle.

It was already the latter half of the night, and many people wanted to go home and rest. The hawkers that were peddling were also preparing to close their stalls, while the shops on both sides of the street were also preparing to close for business.

Gu Tian raised his head to look at the sky, suddenly pulled Meng Kang to the side and whispered: "It's about time, I'll bring you to see someone!

"Meng Kang nodded, and only took a glance at Zi Yan and Ye Xiaoyuan.

Gu Tian understood and immediately straightened his back, making a posture of coughing twice, before shamelessly saying: "About that! Brother Meng Kang and I have something to take care of. It's getting late, you two can go back to the Academy first! "

When Gu Tian said these words, Ye Xiaoyuan's expression darkened, her face full of hidden bitterness.

Zi Yan only chuckled a few times before grabbing onto Ye Xiaoyuan's arm and said: "At the very least, you have to send us back to the academy first! It's the middle of the night, what if we run into bad guys? "

Gu Tian raised his arm and made a signal with his hand, and the people around immediately surrounded them.

"Get a carriage and escort the two ladies back to the academy!"

Gu Tian ordered his subordinates.

Very quickly, a carriage bearing the symbol of the Gu Clan arrived in front of the four of them.

"Ladies, please! We are really busy, we are definitely not going to the Golden Branch Restaurant! I, Gu Tian, swear on my reputation! "

"Let's go!" Xiao Yuan's sister, let's go back! Do not delay the work of men! "

Zi Yan chuckled.

Ye Xiaoyuan could only reluctantly board the carriage and leave.

After sending off Ye Xiaoyuan and Zi Yan, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Gu Tian stretched his back, and even his smile relaxed a lot.

Meng Kang was puzzled and asked: "Gu Tian, do you really like Ye Xiaoyuan? You seem happier when I see you aren't! "

Gu Tian glared and said angrily: You don't say! Of course I like her! I like that timid look of hers. I pity her weakness and need someone to protect her! And I, the one who protected her! Big Brother, our brothers, to be frank, you! Don't even think about it! "

"Hehe!" Cut the crap! Let's go! Go see the person you were talking about! "

Meng Kang laughed and said.
