Both worlds are like dreams

……

Mo Ruilin got drunk again and fell asleep directly in Jinxiu Building.

Xue Huang sent Gu Qinglan to the door and said, "Fifth brother has someone to take care of him, don't worry, just be careful when you go back."

Gu Qinglan nodded, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early too."

"I'm not sleepy," Xue Huang said with a smile, "Why don't you take a walk with me? I just have something to tell you."

Gu Qinglan agreed to her request and went to the nearby waterfront with her.

Xuehuang remembered this place. They had released river lanterns here together three years ago, and it was also the day they agreed to meet again at Qinghai Lake.

However, their agreement was fulfilled in another way.

The evening breeze brings a bit of coolness.

Xue Huang walked leisurely along the shore, and when she looked down she could see the clear lake water reflecting the stars in the sky.

The lights of thousands of homes on both sides of the river are also reflected in the water, complementing the stars, creating a magical and spectacular scene.

"Brother Qinglan, look at the water, does it look like another world?"

Gu Qinglan smiled and said, "Yes."

Xue Huang looked at his smile and felt that the surrounding scenery was eclipsed. She could no longer see any other scenery and only he was left in her eyes.

"But I think it's still not as good-looking as you."

Gu Qinglan looked at her bright smile, and he thought the same thing in his heart. The scenery of Shangyang City was never half as good as hers.

He secretly clenched his fingers, "Actually, I also want to tell you something."

"Go ahead." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Gu Qinglan's expression became very serious, "Are you free tomorrow evening?"

"Yes, I have!"

"Can I invite you to go out of the house and visit the Lantern Festival together?"

"Sure." Xue Huang was a little puzzled, "Is that all?"

"Are you willing?" Gu Qinglan looked at her with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Xue Huang nodded, "I am willing."

Gu Qinglan smiled and said solemnly: "Then I will wait for you under the Moon Goddess Tree at the beginning of the evening hour tomorrow."

"Okay." Xue Huang responded, looking at his gentle smile, she felt a little puzzled, why did he look so happy?

"It's getting late. Let me take you back to Jinxiu Tower first." Gu Qinglan said.

Xuehuang nodded, followed him back, and then said goodbye to him in front of Jinxiu Tower.

Watching his carriage go away, Xue Huang was still a little confused, "What happened to him?"

"What's wrong?" Luo Ning's voice suddenly sounded behind Xue Huang.

Her question was originally intended for the young man, so she replied: "I feel like Brother Qinglan seems a little different than usual."

"What did you say to him?" Luo Ning asked.

"He just asked me very seriously if I would like to go to the Lantern Festival with him tomorrow night. I said yes, and he seemed very happy."

Luo Ning smiled helplessly, "You silly girl."

"what happened?"

"Tomorrow is the Qiqiao Lantern Festival."

"I know!" Xue Huang raised her eyebrows, "I was going to ask him if he was willing to go with me tomorrow."

"You may not know much about the Qiqiao Lantern Festival in Shangyang City. On this day, when a man solemnly invites a woman to go to the Lantern Festival with him, it means that the woman is not only the one he loves, but also the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with. This is a love word that does not need to be said, and it is also the most romantic and precious promise. To put it bluntly, he hopes that you can become his wife."

"Really?" Xue Huang's eyes were full of smiles. They had never seriously said the word "like" to each other, but all the feelings were already in each other's hearts.

"Gu Shizi is a good man, and he treats you with sincerity, which is rare. It is so rare to meet someone who loves you in this life. Now that you have met him, you must cherish him."

"Sister, you can do it too." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Me?" Luo Ning smiled, "Probably not."

"Second Uncle is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He is not a heart of stone. If you try harder, you might be able to warm up this stone."

Luo Ning knocked on her head and said, "Don't get involved in the affairs of adults. Go and take good care of your Master Gu. Go back to sleep and dress up nicely to meet him tomorrow."

"Got it." Xuehuang pulled her upstairs.

After staying in Jinxiu Tower for one night, Xuehuang returned to Wei Mansion after breakfast the next day.

In the morning, Mo Xingyue came to see her, and as soon as they met, she asked with a gossipy look on her face: "How is it? Did your brother Qinglan invite you to the Lantern Festival today?"

Xue Huang nodded, "Did your father allow you to leave the palace?"

"Today is the Qiqiao Festival, and the streets are full of princes and nobles. My father asked me to go out for a walk and told me to go back and tell him if I find anything that satisfies me."

"Is this something your father would say?"

Mo Xingyue shrugged her shoulders. "I find it strange, too. But since we can go out and have fun, I don't care. What time did you and Brother Lan agree to meet?"

"The beginning of the You hour."

"It's still early." Mo Xingyue smiled. "Just stay with me first. My brother will come to see me in the evening, and then we will accompany you to find Brother Lan."

"Okay." Xue Huang smiled. "Just right. Yun Qing made some new snacks. Let's go to the pavilion at the back door to try them."
