[I’ve never envied anyone in this life, but Yan Xiao Xiao, you are too blessed! I want to flip cards too!]Yu Shu gritted his teeth. “Yan Xiao Xiao, is my makeup skill all you wanted to mention?”
This wasn’t what he wanted to hear. Yan Jin, you blockhead!
“Did you want me to say something else?” Yan Jin was puzzled. “Weren’t you concerned that you alone couldn’t compare to thirty men? I said your makeup skills are so good that you alone are worth thirty men, was that not appropriate?”
“Who told you to actually compare me to them?” Yu Shu pursed his lips. “If I couldn’t do makeup, would you think I couldn’t measure up to them?”
Understood, so Yu Shu was feeling uneasy about this.
“I compared you to them to objectively tell you that there is a huge gap between them and you, that you are far more outstanding than them.”
Yan Jin: “However you are, that’s the Yu Shu I love.”
The corner of Yu Shu’s mouth quirked up. “But I don’t want to hear your objective comparison.”
“Then what do you want to hear?” Yan Jin: “The things I would only say if my head was muddled?”
“Yes!” Yu Shu nodded vigorously. “I just want to hear the completely irrational things Xiao Xiao would say when her head is muddled.”
Even though Yan Jin felt these were just nice-sounding but insubstantial words, since Yu Shu said he liked them, Yan Jin sighed and still said a bunch of things she would only say if her head was muddled.
“In my heart, you are the most important, Yu Shu. Others can’t even compare to a single strand of your hair.”
…
“As long as you are by my side, Yu Shu, there is no room in my heart or eyes for anyone else.”
…
Seeing the smile return to the corners of Yu Shu’s eyes, Yan Jin handed the lantern she had been holding to Yu Shu, finally completely diverting his attention.
“A lantern?” Yu Shu joyfully took the lantern. “Xiao Xiao, how did you think to buy a lantern? Don’t you dislike these kinds of frivolous things?”
“Just now when we were parading in the streets, I saw your eyes kept falling on the boys carrying lanterns, so I bought one for you.” Yan Jin’s tone was light and playful. “What other boys have, my boy should have too.”
Yu Shu’s chest was filled with sweetness.
Although he had complained about Xiao Xiao being dense when he was angry, Xiao Xiao was actually quite amazing.
To say Xiao Xiao was considerate, sometimes her EQ was so low it could infuriate him half to death; but to say Xiao Xiao was dense, she could quickly coax him every time.
This time was no exception.
Listen, my boy should have it too.
Xiao Xiao always liked to be so direct.
Her tone was quite domineering too, when did he become Xiao Xiao’s boy?
While Yu Shu wasn’t paying attention, Yan Jin secretly touched the red string on his wrist. The weaving technique was exactly the same as the bracelet of indistinguishable color on that woman’s wrist.
It was probably just a coincidence.
It couldn’t be that she had an old acquaintance in An Guo when she had never been here before, right?
Yan Jin smiled and shook her head, suppressing the conjecture that had just arisen.
Not far away in the carriage, that woman lifted the curtain and looked at the wife and husband chatting and laughing while holding lanterns. The corners of her lips also couldn’t help but curve into a smile.
The city was even more lively than when Yu Shu had paraded.
The sound of fireworks on the horizon mixed with the bustling voices of the crowd, forming a lively night scene.
Originally, Yan Jin had planned to go back to the inn to rest after watching Yu Shu’s parade and buying the lantern.
But when Yu Shu saw people carrying river lanterns in their hands, going to the riverside to release them, he turned his head and stared at Yan Jin with burning eyes. “Xiao Xiao.”
With just Yan Jin’s name, she knew what meaning Yu Shu wanted to convey.
“We both have two protective talismans on us now, it’s double insurance.” Yan Jin sighed. “There’s no need to go release river lanterns to make wishes.”
[Laughing to death, Yan Jin is almost scared by Yu Shu who loves collecting talismans.] [Fortunately there’s no internet now, otherwise I suspect Yu Shu would be the type to prick his fingertip to make a protective pendant with blood for Yan Jin.]…
[The previous commenter, don’t malign Yu Shu. He may be a bit silly but he’s not stupid. He wouldn’t prick his fingertip to make a protective pendant.]“It’s not to make wishes with the lanterns.” Yu Shu’s eyes curved. “It’s to test our tacit understanding, Xiao Xiao and me.”
“Tacit understanding?” Yan Jin was puzzled. “We still need to test that?”
They had no tacit understanding at all.
Small ordinary things were fine, but as soon as it got convoluted, it was like a bull meeting a horse, chicken talking to duck.
Yan Jin recalled when they had just become a couple, Yu Shu thought by exchanging glances, he could let her know they were going for a stroll together later. But she had no idea at all that she had just made such a date with Yu Shu.
Let’s not do these things that impact their relationship.
But Yu Shu didn’t hear Yan Jin’s hidden meaning. Instead, he was in high spirits. “If Xiao Xiao can find which lantern is the one I release, then we are a couple with telepathy.”
“…Do I have to find it?” Yan Jin: “Can I choose to quit this nitpicking game?”
Yu Shu blinked. “This shouldn’t be too difficult for Xiao Xiao, right?”
Yan Jin: It’s not that simple.
Yu Shu’s tone was light and cheery, full of adoration. “In my heart, Xiao Xiao has always been amazing. This kind of small matter must be a piece of cake in Xiao Xiao’s eyes.”
Yan Jin: Stop seeing her through filters.
Yu Shu lowered his head to look at Yan Jin and pursed his lips in a smile. “When we go back this time, I also want to tell Ah De and the others, among so many river lanterns, Xiao Xiao, you recognized which one I picked at a glance.”
The total word count of this book is: 1,155,280
Yan Jin: “…I’ll find it then.”
Catching sight of Yan Jin looking completely lifeless, Yu Shu raised his hand to cover his smile.
His girl was really too cute.
[Before Yu Shu acts spoiled, Yan Jin: I won’t do irrational things. After Yu Shu acts spoiled, Yan Jin: I’ll do it then.] [No wonder Yu Shu likes Yan Jin so much, she really dotes on him!!]When Yan Jin brought Yu Shu to the riverside where people were releasing lanterns, the shore was already packed with people.
On the shore, besides affectionate young couples, there were also families. They all had two things in common: regardless of gender or age, they all had smiles on their faces and were holding river lanterns.
Before Yu Shu went to buy the lantern, he even suspiciously warned, “Xiao Xiao, I’m going to pick a lantern, don’t peek.”
Yu Shu is naturally beautiful and very skilled at makeup. With him alone, one can enjoy different types of beauties. This point, I truly envy Xiao Xiao.
