【Quick Wear】I always go to the wrong plot

The days that followed passed quickly.

Jiang Shuliu never told Zhao Xi the main content of the business, but it was undeniable that he came back later and later, and Zhao Xi attended more and more parties.

The looks of others also changed from contempt at the beginning to solemnity now. Even if Zhao Xi didn't say anything, some people came over to try to get close to him. Zhao Xi realized that Jiang Shuliu's influence was already very great.

Zhao Xi checked the plot progress again and it had reached sixty-five, which meant that the world plot was already halfway through.

After Zhao Xi completed the seduction mission, there was no news about the next mission. Zhao Xi didn't know if she had gone astray in this mission, but an inexplicable premonition in her heart told her that she must have gone astray again.

Ah, headache.

Zhao Xi lay dejectedly on the table, but his elbow accidentally knocked the invitation letter on the table to the ground.

This was left by Jiang Shuliu. Zhao Xi thought it was another banquet invitation from a partner, so he opened it curiously and saw that it was actually an invitation to Mr. Ning's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, formally inviting Jiang Shuliu to participate in Hong Kong's unique Mid-Autumn Festival event: the Fire Dragon Dance in Tai Hang.

The Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance is a folk custom held in Hong Kong to ward off plague and pray for good fortune every year to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The event is held three nights before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every year, residents of Tai Hang make a new fire dragon, and on the night of the 14th day of the eighth lunar month, a consecration ceremony is held for the fire dragon in the Lotus Temple, which is dedicated to Guanyin. After that, it will parade all the streets of Tai Hang in a clockwise direction for three consecutive nights.

I heard that Mr. Ning had a very pleasant cooperation with Jiang Shuliu and had expressed his appreciation for Jiang Shuliu many times. He even hoped that Jiang Shuliu could get along with his little daughter, even though Jiang Shuliu showed that they were in a marital relationship.

For people of this era, there is really no difference between one wife and two wives.

At that time, Zhao Xi thought that Jiang Shuliu would agree. After all, the relationship between them was just a fake husband and wife. According to Jiang Shuliu's character of not doing anything without benefits, if he formed a family with Mr. Ning, the resistance Jiang Shuliu would face in Hong Kong would be much less. However, Jiang Shuliu directly refused.

Zhao Xi refused decisively. At that time, she was standing next to Jiang Shuliu, and he held her hand. She only heard him say, "Since I hold your hand, I will grow old with you."

Not expressing disgust or aversion saved Mr. Ning's face and also expressed his loyalty to his wife.

Mr. Zhao's infatuation spread again.

But it was this Mr. Zhao who, as soon as he returned, had a dark face and was drunk, and he hugged Zhao Xi and vented his anger.

Shameless old man, he's still so arrogant even if you give him some face. He has so many illegitimate daughters and he still has the nerve to say that he's his most beloved daughter...

Zhao Xi covered his mouth to stop the venom from splashing out. Fortunately, the gentleman was drunk and was soon coaxed into falling asleep, otherwise it would be a sin to continue scolding him.

Although Jiang Shuliu was not allowed to say these words, Zhao Xi could not deny that she was happy to hear them.

Zhao Xi picked up the invitation letter again, and this time he looked at it carefully. He was satisfied to see that the invitation was for Mr. Zhao Liushu and Ms. Zhao Xi.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to go to those banquets anymore?" Jiang Shuliu asked when he saw Zhao Xi running over with the invitation and saying he wanted to go.

Jiang Shuliu had attended too many banquets in the past few days. He was preparing for his subsequent trip to the mainland and was naturally very busy. It was only when he received the invitation from Mr. Ning that he realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.

Jiang Shuliu originally intended to refuse because this was the first Mid-Autumn Festival he and Zhao Xi spent together.

"I heard that the fire dragon dance in the big pit here is very beautiful. I want to see it." Zhao Xi said with a smile.

Jiang Shuliu smiled and said, "If you want to go, we'll go."

Zhao Xi felt a little hot in her ears when she saw his beautiful smile. She felt that Jiang Shuliu treated her a little strangely.

A little too gentle, not at all like the vicious and venomous person she was before, the side of her neck where Jiang Shuliu had bitten her seemed to hurt again. After that day, the two of them got along as if nothing had happened, but Zhao Xi always felt something was different.

"You go ahead and do your work first!" Zhao Xi said and ran away immediately.

In Hong Kong, Mid-Autumn Festival is also a very important festival.

In addition to family reunion and moon watching, watching lanterns and lighting lanterns are also a Mid-Autumn Festival custom in Hong Kong. Whether in the streets, parks, or at the beach, colorful lanterns are hung high, reflecting the bright moonlight, adding a touch of joy to the festival.

Jiang Shuliu knew that Zhao Xi didn't like the catering atmosphere at the banquet. It just so happened that the place Ning Lao had decided on was the tallest building on the largest street in the Mid-Autumn Festival parade street. Jiang Shuliu asked Zhao Xi to go to the parade by herself first, and he would go to find her after the matter was settled.

Zhao Xi strolled leisurely in this bustling street.

The whole street is red, with colorful lanterns hanging high and colorful hanging strips fluttering in the wind. People are walking around in this lively venue, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

Zhao Xi walked to a small stall and was attracted by a rabbit lantern. The stall owner was an old man who enthusiastically introduced the meaning of the rabbit lantern to Zhao Xi.

It is said that if the Jade Rabbit accidentally ends up on earth, as long as it carries this lantern, it will be found by Chang'e and brought back to heaven.

The cute little story made Zhao Xi smile knowingly, she bought the rabbit lantern and continued to walk forward. Suddenly, she heard a cheer, it turned out that the fire dragon dance had begun.

A huge fire dragon shuttled through the crowd, and people ran after it.

It is called a fire dragon dance, and there is real fire. The long dragon made of special material is steaming with flames, charging forward with unstoppable momentum, with people's cheers and screams, as if to defeat all the suffering and bring all the happiness.

Zhao Xi stood in the middle, holding the rabbit lantern, and felt deeply shocked.

It would be nice if Jiang Shuliu was here too.

This was the only thought in Zhao Xi's mind.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and took the rabbit lamp from her hand, and Jiang Shuliu's cold and pleasant voice said: "Why did you buy such a small thing? Do you like rabbits?"

Zhao Xi looked at him blankly. Jiang Shuliu was studying the little rabbit lamp. The bright yellow light fell on his handsome face. When he raised his eyes, his phoenix eyes were captivating.

When the Jade Rabbit wanders in the mortal world, Chang'e can find her by holding this lantern...

Zhao Xi laughed slowly, then his laughter became louder and louder, more and more unbridled.

Chang'e frowned and looked at her: "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Xi didn't say anything, but just stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes. The shadow of the dancing fire dragon was imprinted in her eyes, and Jiang Shuliu saw the little him in them.

Zhao Xi was looking at him wholeheartedly. This realization made Jiang Shuliu's eyes slightly widen, and he even forgot to ask further questions.

"Jiang Shuliu, look at the dragon!" Amid the noise of the crowd, Zhao Xi pointed at the fire dragon and said loudly, "I think it's so beautiful."

A hand stroked Zhao Xi's cheek and turned around. Zhao Xi looked at Jiang Shuliu leaning over, and as if they had telepathic connection, she gently closed her eyes.

They had their first kiss in the firelight.
