Cheng Mingran turned her head away and didn't look at him, but Ji Lingzhou was the kind of person who only remembered the food and not the beating. He had just made her angry and now he was starting to act up again.

"Ranran hasn't answered my question yet, so do you think my answer is correct?" He repeated the question he had just asked.

Cheng Mingran's eyes dodged: "It's just that I've already guessed 4 before, and I don't want anything to go wrong here. But if you can't guess it, forget it."

"Ranran, do you think I can guess it or not?" Ji Lingzhou still refuses to give up?

Cheng Mingran evaded his answer: "I don't know."

"But what if I insist on your answer? Do you think I can guess or not?" Ji Lingzhou had to hear the answer today.

Cheng Mingran didn't deliberately contradict him this time, so she replied: "Okay..."

Ji Lingzhou was finally satisfied: "Ranran still trusts me."

Cheng Mingran: “…” So childish, what should I do?

"What's the answer to the riddle?" Cheng Mingran no longer wanted to continue this topic.

"The White Snake crosses the river with a red sun above its head, and the Green Dragon hangs on the wall with thousands of golden stars on its body. Guess an object, and the answer is naturally an oil lamp." Ji Lingzhou said with certainty.

Oil lamp? Before Cheng Mingran could react, the shop owner next to him already started to admire her.

"This young man is very knowledgeable! He is right!" said the shopkeeper.

Cheng Mingran was a little bit incredulous. Judging from Ji Lingzhou’s comments, he didn’t seem like someone who would do such things. How come he was so good at guessing riddles?

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you in love with me?" Ji Lingzhou replied without blushing or beating his heart.

Cheng Mingran: “…” Eyes were rolling all over her, she was simply speechless.

"Come here, sir, madam, these are prizes, congratulations to you two!" The shop owner happily presented the gifts.

When Ji Lingzhou heard the shop owner's name, he felt extremely satisfied. He then reached out and handed over a piece of silver: "We won't take your things for nothing. This is for you." He said.

When the shopkeeper saw the silver ingot, the effect on his face became even more real: "Oh, thank you so much, sir! You are really a kind man! You and your wife are a perfect match made in heaven!"

Ji Lingzhou felt even happier when he heard this. He took the lantern from the shopkeeper and said, "I won the lantern. How about it? Do you like it?" He gave the lantern to Cheng Mingran.

Cheng Mingran was just lamenting Ji Lingzhou's childishness, but now her attention has shifted to the lanterns.

The word "hmm" represented her response. She liked this lamp very much because it was really exquisitely made.

Seeing that she was satisfied, Ji Lingzhou was satisfied too, so he took Cheng Mingran's hand very actively: "Then let's go to the next place."

"Do you want to buy firecrackers?" Cheng Mingran replied subconsciously.

Buy firecrackers? Before Ji Lingzhou understood what he meant, he heard Cheng Mingran say, "Didn't you just say we were going to buy some later?"

When Ji Lingzhou heard this, he remembered that he had said he would take her to buy firecrackers when they were not at home just now.

"If you want to go, go ahead. Everything today depends on your opinion." Ji Lingzhou is getting better and better at answering questions!

Cheng Mingran hadn't set off firecrackers for a long time, so naturally she wanted to give it a try: "Then go buy some."

Ji Lingzhou had no reluctance and took Cheng Mingran to a nearby place selling firecrackers. Cheng Mingran hadn't left the palace for a long time, and now that she had finally been able to relax a little, she was naturally curious about everything.

She picked out some of her favorite things from childhood, and Ji Lingzhou was very considerate and satisfied her with all of them. After buying the things, Ji Lingzhou took Cheng Mingran to a place dedicated to setting off firecrackers.

"Are you scared?" Ji Lingzhou took out the thing in his hand. In fact, Cheng Mingran had never ordered these dangerous things herself. When she was a child, it was others who set them off, and she was the one watching from the side.

Now hearing him ask her, she nodded without hiding anything: "A little bit." She was a little afraid.

"Then you stand here and I'll help you order?" Ji Lingzhou was afraid of scaring Cheng Mingran.

But Cheng Mingran was a little unhappy: "I want to try it too..."

"Okay," Ji Lingzhou agreed without any hesitation. Cheng Mingran was about to continue her explanation before she could even say anything.

"I will protect you for a while, you won't get hurt." Ji Lingzhou said something to reassure Cheng Mingran.

However, at this moment, Cheng Mingran herself might not have realized why she felt at ease because of such a sentence.

Ji Lingzhou held her in his arms and held her hand to light the fuse of the firecrackers. Cheng Mingran was still a little nervous, but because Ji Lingzhou had been holding her in his arms, her life didn't get much easier today.

The firecrackers were lit by the two people, and the next moment, sparks bloomed in the air, reflecting on their faces.

At the moment when the fireworks burst, their faces were reflected as if they were caressed by the afterglow of the setting sun, appearing particularly gentle and moving. The sparks jumped in the night sky like stars, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this Lantern Festival night.

The surrounding lanterns also seemed to echo with it, shining brightly, as if sending the most sincere blessings to the couple. The air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder, intertwined with the fragrance of the surrounding flowers, forming a unique festive atmosphere.

Cheng Mingran's mood also seemed to fluctuate because of this. Excitement and joy slowly flickered in his eyes.

Ji Lingzhou held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to hold this happiness firmly in his hand. Cheng Mingran kept looking at the fireworks, and Ji Lingzhou... seemed to have only her in his eyes.

Cheng Mingran seemed to have become the focus of his entire world, and everything around him seemed to bloom for her.

As the sound of firecrackers rang out, people around were also infected by the joyful atmosphere and joined in the celebration. Laughter and cheers rose and fell, forming a sea of ​​joy.

But Ji Lingzhou only felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if Cheng Mingran was the only one by his side, and he could only have room for her.

He couldn't remember the last time he saw Cheng Mingran smile like this. These days, he had always looked at Cheng Mingran with eyes that seemed to be devoid of any color, but now... her eyes became very bright and unusually beautiful, like fireworks were blooming.

She... was supposed to be like this.
