Yin Shaojie held up one of her little hands. Smiling, he said, “Didn’t we come here to release water lanterns together? If I don’t have a water lantern, what can I do? It would be time-consuming if I were to make a new one right now.”
Even though he could buy a ready-made one, making one himself would have more meaning.
The tradition in Nanxiang Old Town was to release one’s own handmade water lantern. This showed more sincerity in the wish-making, which meant that one’s wishes would be granted.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her face away and hinted softly, “Can you beg me? Just beg me to give one to you.”
Yin Shaojie’s smiled deepened. So that was what the girl was trying to say.
He walked behind her and embraced her with his muscular arms. Leaning his lips close to her ear, he said in a mesmerizing tone, “My great wifey, oh please I beg of you, please give me a water lantern, alright?”
Mu Xiaoxiao then smiled, pleased.
The smile on her pursed lips almost reached her ear. “Alright, I’ll give you a water lantern on account of you pleading so pitifully for it.”
“Thank you, great wifey, for the reward!” Yin Shaojie said, and even gave her a peck on her fair cheek.
Song Shijun couldn’t watch anymore and said deliberately, “Are you done? You should also know your limits when abusing single dogs. If you continue, I’ll call the police!”
Han Qiqing rolled her eyes at him and squeezed between them as per habit, forcing Song Shijun to one side.
“You should light yours first. I don’t even know if you can light yours with the way you made it. I told you to make it wider.”
Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie ignored them.
Yin Shaojie received the pen to write his wish on the water lantern.
Mu Xiaoxiao stood next to him, trying to see what he was going to write.
“What did you write?” Yin Shaojie asked her and gestured for her to show her water lantern to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and held up her water lantern.
Yin Shaojie saw the line of words and his gaze trembled. He looked at her.
It was because of last night’s accident, right?
This was why she wrote that she wished him to be blessed with good health and a long life.
Yin Shaojie’s gaze softened and he really wanted to kiss her. However, he didn’t do it. He still had an opportunity at night and it would be no different than giving her some tender loving care later.
His smile deepened and he lowered his head to write on the water lantern.
“What are you going to write?” Mu Xiaoxiao craned her neck over.
Yin Shaojie wrote very quickly. His handwriting looked way nicer compared to Mu Xiaoxiao’s, and his strokes were so nimble that he was done in a flash.
“Hurry up and show me. What did you write?” Mu Xiaoxiao was extremely curious.
“Don’t rush, I’ll show you.” Yin Shaojie wrapped a hand around her slim waist to prevent her from falling into the river from over-excitement.
He showed her the water lantern.
Mu Xiaoxiao read the natural and unrestrained handwriting.
On one side were both their names, and on the other side was written: “To grow old together and be together eternally.”
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled till her eyes resembled crescents. “Be together eternally? You sound so greedy.”
Yin Shaojie nodded seriously, “Humans should be a little greedy.”
He didn’t just want to stay with her for his entire life. To him, one lifetime was too few. If reincarnation was real he would want to be with her for every single one of his lifetimes.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled as she read the written words, “‘Grow old together’… Isn’t this wish a little too common? We’re still so young and you’re already writing for so far into the future.”
