Ever since Li Xinglan said she wanted to participate in the Lantern Festival, Su Su was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

She tossed and turned in bed like a child looking forward to a spring outing.

Finally, the day of the Lantern Festival arrived, and there was a dark circle under her eyes.

Li Xinglan came back relatively early that day. As soon as night fell, he stood at the door of Su Su's courtyard and called her.

Hearing the sound, Shen Huan quickened his movements and drew a lotus flower on Su Su's forehead.

"I'm coming!"

After opening the door, Su Su picked up her skirt and ran towards Li Xinglan in a hurry.

"Slow down, don't fall!" Li Xinglan stretched out his hand naturally, ready to rescue the person at any time.

Su Su's eyes sparkled. She turned around in front of Li Xinglan and asked, "Is it pretty?"

Today she was wearing a light green long dress with pale pink lotus flowers embroidered on the skirt and sleeves.

She also wore a lotus beaded hairpin on her head. This whole outfit was carefully put together by her.

"It looks good." Li Xinglan nodded and looked at Su Su with satisfaction.

It is true that girls change a lot when they grow up. Compared with before, Su Su has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although her skin was still dark yellow, it had become much smoother, and she had gained some flesh on her face and body. It was no longer as sunken as before, and her cheekbones looked particularly prominent.

Touching his chin, Li Xinglan was like a kind old father, thinking that he should get some more beauty products to take good care of his eldest daughter.

After receiving Li Xinglan's affirmation, Su Su smiled with her eyes curved. She walked up to him affectionately, took his arm and asked, "Where's Ergou?"

"I'm waiting outside the gate, girl, please pay attention to your appearance."

Although Li Xinglan said this, his eyes and words were full of doting.

"You look so pretty just to be held by me, you know!"

Su Su held Li Xinglan's arm tightly and touched his delicate chin with confidence, like a female hooligan.

"I'll be so proud if I go out arm in arm. Others will think I'm rich. I bet you spent a lot of money on it, hahaha."

The two of them left laughing and joking, and Shen Huan, who was standing behind them, could only watch them with envy.

She looked at Su Su holding Li Xinglan's hand, and a bitter feeling rose in her heart.

If only it could be her...

The Lantern Festival is very lively, with markets lined up on the streets, vendors shouting everywhere, and crowds of people flowing in and out.

Most young men and women walked together, holding colorful lanterns in their hands.

Ergou walked in front, Su Su was protected by Li Xinglan between them, moving slowly with the crowd.

I don’t know if it was because she was too excited or because the crowds were too crowded, but her face was flushed.

Li Xinglan held a folding fan in his hand and fanned her.

It's still a long way to the moat. At the current speed, it will probably take an hour to walk there.

Suddenly, Su Su turned around and said to Li Xinglan behind her, "Brother Gou, that rabbit lantern is so beautiful. I want that!"

Following the direction Su Su pointed, Li Xinglan saw the lantern she was talking about and nodded without hesitation, "Buy it!"

Pulling Ergou's sleeve to remind him to follow, Su Su took the lead and walked quickly towards the stall.

She saw that there was only one little rabbit lantern, and she didn't want anyone to snatch it away.

But what she feared came true. Just when she was two steps away from getting the rabbit lantern, a pretty figure in pink and blue appeared in front of her.

Just as the girl was about to reach out to pick up the rabbit lantern, Ergou was quick-witted and picked it up before her.

As expected of a gold medal jungler, his hand speed is so fast!

Su Su silently gave him a thumbs up behind him, laughing in her heart.

"I saw it first!" The girl looked up and yelled at Ergou in dissatisfaction, "Give it back to me!"

Ergou acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't even look at anyone.

He raised his hand without looking away, handed the boss a tael of silver, took the change from the boss, turned around and left, all in one go.

"Stop! Give me the light!"

Being ignored, the girl's eyes flushed with anger. She dodged and stood in front of Ergou, "I'm talking to you!"

Being blocked, Ergou raised his eyes and glanced at the girl.

But he remained silent and spared her.

He handed the rabbit lantern to Su Su and said, "Here you go."

"No!"

Just as Su Su was about to take it, the girl got there first. She grabbed the lamp handle and said, "I saw it first!"

"I saw it from a distance!" Su Su also got angry and grabbed the other end of the lamp handle with one hand, "We paid first! This is mine!"

"It's mine!" The girl pulled the lamp hard towards herself.

Su Su was not to be outdone and refused to let go. She stubbornly retorted, "It's mine! Mine!"

The two people just held on to the lanterns tightly, and gradually, people began to stop and watch.

Behind the girl stood a man dressed as a servant. Seeing more and more people gathering to watch, he couldn't help but move forward with concern.

He advised, "Miss, let's look further ahead. Maybe there are rabbit lanterns there?"

"No! I want this one!" When the girl heard the man behind her say this, her eyes became even redder.

She turned and glared at the man, "This isn't about the lights now!"

It's a matter of dignity!

The girl turned around and glared at Su Su fiercely. She raised her eyebrows and looked provocative, "Don't let go if you have the guts!"

Su Su also lost her temper. She tilted her head and retorted, "Okay, how about we keep doing this until the New Year?"

"You! Do you know who I am?" The girl blushed with anger, obviously she had never suffered such injustice.

Su Sucai didn't indulge her and retorted, "Why? Didn't your father tell you who he is?"

"How dare you! I'm going to kill you!"

The girl was so angry that her eyes were wide open and she wanted to slap Su Su!

"Isn't that what you asked me?"

Su Su spoke eloquently, and the girl knew she couldn't win the argument, so she just fought with her eyes.

The two girls' eyes met each other, and there seemed to be lightning and sparks in the air, crackling.

A nearby merchant pulled out another rabbit lantern from under his stall and said timidly, "Ladies, I actually have another one..."

"I want this!"

"I want this!"

The two men shouted in unison, frightening the vendor to the point of trembling.

Ah, women are really scary.

Li Xinglan looked at the girl thoughtfully for a long time, and finally remembered who she was.

Then, he stroked the angry Su Su and said soothingly, "Be good, we want the puppy. It suits our family tradition."

Su Su was still angry and didn't want to let go. She looked at Li Xinglan with grievance.

But Li Xinglan just said, "Be obedient."

Since Brother Gou has said so, I have to let go even if I am reluctant.

Su Su pouted and obediently let go of her hand.

Looking at the girl holding the rabbit lantern with a smug smile on her face, I felt so sad.

Although I don’t know why he did this, but Brother Gou must have his reasons.

After thinking about it, Su Su took the puppy lamp handed to her by Li Xinglan and listlessly pulled Ergou away from the battlefield.

After taking a few steps, she turned around and saw Li Xinglan smiling and talking to the girl.

He made the girl's eyes sparkle with love, almost blinding her.

"You bastard!" Su Su was furious and pulled Ergou away very quickly.

Li Goudan, you’d better remember to get back the money you spent on the lamp!
