The night in Shangjing City is brightly lit, bustling with people, and extremely lively. In spring, after nightfall, the entire street is filled with all kinds of special snacks.

Song Wanyin and Xiao Jingheng walked side by side on the bustling streets, watching the people living and working in peace and contentment, with happy smiles on everyone's face.

It was so late that few people could notice them. Song Wanyin simply took off the veil on her head. It was a rare occasion for her to come out, and she felt as if she had found the time when she sneaked out to the street to play as a child.

Xiao Jingheng cherishes this moment of reunion very much. Recalling his childhood, whenever he visited temple fairs and lantern festivals, he would sneak out with the Song brothers and sisters to join in the fun.

The three of them were so happy at that time, they shopped, ate, and played at the same time. They would satisfy whatever Song Wanyin wanted and spoiled her like a little princess.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Song Wanyin tilted her head to look over and asked in confusion:

"Brother, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Jingheng smiled and said gently:

"Junior sister, do you remember the year when we sneaked out at night to visit the Lantern Festival?

We left in such a hurry that no one had any money on us, but you wanted to eat candied haws.

There was really no other way, so my brother Wanfeng and I had to go and negotiate with the boss of the street jugglery and ask him to lend us suitable weapons.

Later, brother Wanfeng and I worked together in perfect harmony, put our lifelong learning into practice, won applause from the whole room, and received a lot of tips.

We paid the boss some money, and used the rest to buy you delicious food and fun things. At that time, you were innocent and carefree. "

Song Wanyin's cheeks flushed, like the sunset glow in the sky, and she smiled and said:

"At that time, I was young and ignorant. I stayed in my room all day practicing calligraphy and painting. I was so bored that I just wanted to go out and play.

You and my eldest brother love me very much. One of you feeds me all kinds of delicious food every day, and the other takes me out to play whenever he has the chance.

We seemed to have formed a tacit understanding and became the Three Musketeers, always inseparable.

I still remember that we went to the river to release lanterns, but I was bumped by someone and fell into the river. You and my elder brother were so scared that we jumped down and rescued me.

Later, my father came out with his servants to look for us. When he saw the three of us all soaked to the skin, he felt angry and distressed.

You and my elder brother were both punished to kneel and reflect on our mistakes facing the wall for the entire night.

I had a high fever because of drowning, and my mother stayed by my bedside all night. You and my elder brother were filled with remorse and guilt. "

Xiao Jingheng's heart trembled fiercely. He didn't expect that she still remembered it. The smile in her eyes deepened:

"There are so many snacks, I'm dazzled. Do you want to eat anything?"

Song Wanyin thought for a moment and said:

"Tofu pudding, I really want to eat tofu pudding."

Xiao Jingheng's eyes lit up and she forced herself to calm her excitement. Before she got married, she had been talking about wanting to eat a bowl of tofu pudding.

It was very late at that time and every business was closed. He searched every street and alley but couldn't find anyone selling tofu pudding. This became his biggest regret.

"Okay, let's go eat tofu pudding."

The next moment, the two of them said almost in unison:

"I want spicy, not sweet."

Song Wanyin and he smiled at each other. Unexpectedly, their tacit understanding was still there, and they regained their long-lost smiles.

The regrets left over from the past will be made up this time, saying goodbye to the past and starting over.

Sweet Orange and Honey Peach followed far behind, unable to help but feel deeply moved.

"One is a graceful and elegant court noble, and the other is a stunningly beautiful county lady. They seem to be a perfect match made in heaven."

"Yes, I also think that the one who is worthy of our girl is the Master Taifu. He is handsome, has a good figure, is powerful and wealthy, and most importantly, is gentle and considerate."

Jing Mo and Huai Xi followed at the back, trying not to disturb their master and the county lord's time together, and silently protected them all the way.

"Huai Xi, what did you do to Mr. Su?"

"I was afraid that he would see my appearance and cause unnecessary trouble, so I had to knock him out with one palm, and then put him in the next room, pretending that he was drunk and unconscious."

Jing Mo was surprised. He didn't expect his action to be so simple and crude. He silently gave a thumbs up:

"High, it is high!"

The stall selling tofu pudding was run by an old man with gray hair and beard. He looked kind and warmly invited them to sit down.

"My two guests, do you want something spicy or sweet?"

Song Wanyin and Xiao Jingheng said in perfect tacit understanding:

"spicy."

Soon, two bowls of tofu pudding covered with red oil were served. They looked tempting and smelled fragrant.

Song Wanyin took the first bite and it melted in her mouth, with a light bean fragrance lingering between her lips and teeth.

"Yeah, it still tastes the same as before."

Xiao Jingheng also ate with gusto. He had never liked tofu pudding since he was a child, but because of her, he was willing to try this flavor.

"Junior sister, if you like it, I'll come with you next time."

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the night sky, and in an instant it was as bright as day.

Immediately afterwards, dazzling fireworks and firecrackers bloomed in the night sky, changing unpredictably, reflecting the prosperity and bustle of the capital and demonstrating the peace and prosperity of the country.

People stopped and looked up to watch the fireworks display, dancing with excitement.

Song Wanyin also looked up at the sky following the sound and was attracted by the magnificent sight of fireworks and firecrackers.

The fireworks were like flowers competing for beauty, blooming in all colors. Although they were short-lived, they left behind a gorgeous moment.

"It's so beautiful! I haven't seen such a gorgeous and dazzling fireworks display in a long time."

When she was in the Gu family, her mother-in-law always warned her that women should not show their faces in public, and always kept her confined in the house and not allowed her to go out.

Over time, she almost forgot what fireworks looked like and lived like a frog in a well.

Xiao Jingheng raised his eyes and stared at her. Infected by the smile on her face, his eyes became more affectionate and he whispered:

"It's beautiful, these fireworks are like our life.

Although it is short, it is very brilliant. Everyone should live a different and wonderful life. "

The fireworks were reflected in Song Wanyin's pupils, and she said thoughtfully:

"Brother, what do you think of us in this short life? If we miss the best time of our lives, how should we live the rest of our lives to the fullest?"

She recalled the first half of her life, which she had devoted to the cannibalistic Gu family. She had finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, but she would face even more difficulties and challenges in the second half of her life.

Xiao Jingheng pondered for a moment and said firmly:

“Don’t cling to the shackles of the past, learn to let go of yourself.

Walk out of the haze of the past, do whatever you want to do, and bloom the most brilliant light of life.

At least when you are old and look back, you will feel that your life was not in vain."

Fireworks continued to bloom in the sky. Song Wanyin looked up at the night sky, while Xiao Jingheng stared at her. The two of them sitting opposite each other looked very warm under the illumination of the fireworks.

What Song Wanyin was thinking:

'I really hope this peaceful and prosperous era can continue.'

Orange pointed at the fireworks excitedly, talking and laughing with Peach beside her, but accidentally stepped on something soft.

She staggered, her delicate body tilted, and she unexpectedly fell into a warm embrace.

When I raised my head, I met a pair of black eyes as bright as gemstones, and heard Jing Mo's aggrieved voice:

"You stepped on my foot and it hurts."
