Rebirth is not a dream.

Qin Yi and Su Yue stood side by side, quietly standing on the Luo River Bridge, their eyes cast towards the vast night sky.

Colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, like gorgeous flowers blooming in the darkness. The light of the fireworks illuminated the entire sky and dyed everything around with colorful colors.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his lips. He quietly admired this beautiful scene, and a sense of peace and joy surged in his heart. And Su Yue also looked at this strange fireworks with some surprise. Her face was filled with a happy smile, like the brightest star in the night sky.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the world was left with only Qin Yi and Su Yue and the dazzling fireworks. They were immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, feeling each other's warmth and company.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and messed up Su Yue's hair. Qin Yi reached out and gently brushed it behind her ear, his movements were extremely gentle.

"It's so beautiful." Su Yue said softly.

"Not even one ten-thousandth of you." Qin Yi responded in a low voice, his eyes full of affection.

Su Yue's face instantly turned red, and she turned her head away, avoiding Qin Yi's gaze. The two stood there quietly, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. They slowly left the Luohe Bridge until the fireworks gradually faded and the sky became dark again. Qin Yi and Su Yue came down from the bridge and strolled along the bank of the Luohe River.

As they were walking, Su Yue accidentally stepped on a stone and nearly fell. Qin Yi quickly supported her and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Su Yue shook her head and smiled shyly, "I'm fine, thank you." Qin Yi looked at Su Yue's smile and his heart was moved. He couldn't help but hold Su Yue's hand. Su Yue's hand trembled slightly, but she didn't break free and let Qin Yi lead her forward.

There was a lantern stall in front of them, which was crowded with people. The lanterns on the stall were colorful and very beautiful. Qin Yi led Su Yue in and asked, "Boss, how do you buy these lanterns?"

Someone nearby replied, "You can't buy the lanterns at this stall. You have to guess the lantern riddles and get a lantern for every three you get right. You have to guess seven sets of lantern riddles to win the Lantern King."

Qin Yi turned around and asked Su Yue: "Which lamp do you like?"

Su Yue looked at the colorful lanterns hanging on the shelves. They were colorful and varied in shape. Some looked like elegant fairies, some looked like mighty dragons, and some looked like blooming flowers. Each lantern was carefully crafted, and the delicate patterns and smart decorations were amazing. Walking on the street, it was as if you were in a dream world. The light of the lanterns illuminated the night and also illuminated the hope and beauty in everyone's heart.

The king of lanterns was a Chang'e flying to the moon, the painting was very vivid, and the lantern was still spinning. Su Yue looked at Qin Yi and said, "The king of lanterns is the most beautiful."

Qin Yi looked at the boss and said, "Boss, where is the lamp fan?"

The boss smiled and said, "Sir, look at the rope above your head. If you guess three riddles, you can choose a lantern. If you want the King of Lanterns, you have to guess seven sets of riddles. Then if you guess the last King of Lanterns, you can take the King of Lanterns."

Qin Yi looked up and saw a lot of notes hanging on several ropes above his head. Qin Yi picked up the nearest note and opened it to read the riddle written on it. Su Yue leaned over and read, "January 1st is not today."

Qin Yi: "Ming"

"Half green and half purple"

Qin Yi: “Vegetarian”

"Half of the Spring and Autumn Period"

Qin Yi: "Qin"

The boss looked at Qin Yi and said, "Sir, do you want to choose a lantern or continue guessing?"

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said softly: "Keep guessing." After that, his eyes fell back on the paper and continued to think about the answer.

However, at this moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came: "Third cousin, you are here too!"

Qin Yi was a little dazed for a moment, and before he could come back to his senses, he saw a pretty figure coming in front of him. The person who came was Lu Anruo. She looked at Qin Yi excitedly and said in a soft voice: "Third cousin, do you want to guess which lamp king it is? I like it so much, can you give it to me?"

Qin Yi smiled helplessly, secretly admiring the straightforwardness and innocence of this little cousin. He touched Lu Anruo's head and said gently: "Cousin Anruo, this lamp king is not so easy to guess. However, if you are interested, we can try it together."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhe and Lu Zhi also came forward, saluted Qin Yi, and said in unison: "Third cousin, third cousin's wife."

Lu Anruo then noticed Su Yue beside her. She blinked and said in surprise, "Oh, my cousin's wife is here too."

Su Yue couldn't help but feel speechless, thinking that she was standing here like a grown-up, didn't Lu Anruo see it? It was clear that there was only Qin Yi in her eyes!

However, she still kept a smile on her face and replied calmly: "Well, hello, cousin."

Lu Anruo turned around, showed Su Yue a sweet smile, and said in an intimate tone: "Cousin, you don't mind me guessing lantern riddles with my third cousin, right?"

Su Yue smiled slightly and said softly, "Of course I don't mind. If my cousin likes it, let's play together."

Qin Yi looked at Lu Anruo helplessly, sighed in his heart, and continued to think about the puzzle. At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw that it was Li Yanche and Qin Yue walking towards him.

Qin Yue walked forward quickly, bowed to Qin Yi and Su Yue, and said, "Third brother, third sister-in-law." Su Yue also turned around and responded with a smile, "Fifth brother."

Qin Yi nodded and introduced to Su Yue: "This is Yan Che." Li Yanche smiled and greeted Qin Yi and Su Yue to express his greetings.

At this time, Qin Yi's eyes returned to the puzzle. After thinking for a moment, he confidently said the answer: "Ninety-nine hits a word, it should be 'white'."

The boss took the note and asked Qin Yi to continue, "Born with elegant bones. Can draw and decorate, after all, it is difficult to be independent. Just because I am in a hot place. Guess an object"

Qin Yi: "Folding Fan"

Qin Yi guessed seven sets of riddles quickly. The last riddle was given by the lantern king owner himself. "There are eighteen on the left and eighteen on the right. Two four equals eight. One eight equals eight. Guess a word."

Qin Yi thought for a moment, and a gleam of inspiration flashed in his eyes, "Fan."

A hint of appreciation flashed in the boss' eyes, "Congratulations, sir, you got the right answer. This King of Lanterns is yours." Qin Yi took the King of Lanterns and handed it to Su Yue, "For you." Su Yue took the King of Lanterns with joy, held it carefully in her hands, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes.

At this time, Lu Anruo suddenly interrupted and said, "Third cousin, I also want this King of Lanterns. Can you give it to me?" Qin Yi looked at Lu Anruo with some embarrassment, "This is something I won specially for your cousin's wife. I'll help you win another one next time."

Lu Anruo insisted, "I don't care, I just want this one."

The scene was awkward for a while. Su Yue didn't want to embarrass Qin Yi, so she smiled and said, "If my cousin likes it, I'll give this lamp to her."

Qin Yi hurriedly said: "How can this be possible..."

Su Yue interrupted him, "It's just a lamp, if your cousin likes it, just give it to her."

Seeing Su Yue's insistence, Qin Yi had no choice but to give up. Lu Anruo took the King of Lights triumphantly and smiled provocatively at Su Yue, as if showing off her victory to her. Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but she didn't show it. She just looked at Lu Anruo silently, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. The last time she saw Lu Anruo, she was still so quiet, giving people a feeling of tea. But today, she provoked herself so blatantly, which surprised Su Yue. After all, Lu Anruo is just a fourteen-year-old girl. According to common sense, she shouldn't be so scheming. However, her naive behavior today is really confusing.

She turned to Qin Yi and said, "It's getting late, let's go back." Qin Yi nodded and was about to leave with Su Yue when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "There's a fire, there's a fire..." Then a group of people rushed over from the west.

Qin Yi was walking forward with Su Yue as his guard was guarded. Taozi and Qiuzhu also rushed over from the other side to guard Su Yue. "Miss, be careful." Lu Anruo rushed up from nowhere and grabbed Qin Yi and shouted, "Third cousin, third cousin, there are so many people..."

The raging fire spread rapidly like a demon, devouring everything around it mercilessly. People were terrified and fled around like headless flies. Qin Yi held Lu Anruo's hand tightly and led Su Yue and others to run towards a safe area.

“Third cousin, I’m so scared…” Lu Anruo’s voice was full of fear. She clutched Qin Yi’s arm tightly, her body shaking uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Qin Yi comforted softly, but his eyes were always scanning the surroundings vigilantly, looking for the best way to escape.

However, in the chaotic crowd, Su Yue and Qin Yi were unfortunately separated. Qiu Zhu protected Su Yue and walked towards the less crowded direction with difficulty. They didn't know where they were squeezed to. Finally, Su Yue and Qiu Zhu stopped, but found that Taozi had disappeared.

"Where is Taozi?" Su Yue asked anxiously.

Qiu Zhu quickly replied: "Miss, don't worry. I'll ask Taozi to find a carriage. Let's go to Dingding Gate first. Taozi will be waiting for us there."

Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement, but her eyes revealed a hint of loss and sadness that was difficult to conceal.

Qiu Zhu keenly noticed Su Yue's emotional changes and asked with concern: "Where is the third young master?"

Su Yue's mind instantly flashed back to the scene just now - Qin Yi let go of her hand because of Lu Anruo, causing her to be swept away by the crowd. If it weren't for Qiu Zhu's selfless protection of her, she would probably have been lost long ago.

Su Yue bit her lip, trying to suppress the grievance and dissatisfaction in her heart, and whispered: "It's okay, let's go find Taozi quickly."

So, the two of them continued on their journey to Dingding Gate. Along the way, Su Yue remained silent, but her heart was surging like a vast ocean. She couldn't help but reflect on her own behavior: Was she really too dependent on Qin Yi? Weren't the painful lessons from her previous life enough for her to remember?

Why do we always unconsciously want to rely on others? Is it really reliable to put all our hopes on another person? Perhaps, only ourselves are the most trustworthy! After all, the road of life is full of variables and unknowns, and no one can guarantee that they will never leave or betray us.

Thinking of this, Su Yue's mood became heavier. But at the same time, she also felt a little relieved. Now that she understood this truth, she should be more determined to walk her own path and face all difficulties and challenges independently. No longer expect too much help or support from others.

As her thoughts gradually became clearer, Su Yue's steps became lighter. She decided to let go of the burden of the past and re-examine her life. The little flame that had been ignited in Qin Yi was extinguished again.
