Reborn, she saved the boy who was bullied to death
Chapter 113: Enjoying Lanterns and Making a Wish
“Warmest is the light of a thousand houses, most delightful is the bustle of the world.”
Walking down the alley, I saw brightly lit houses and the big red lanterns at the door. Looking up, I saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky, complementing the scenery perfectly.
Shang Qing affectionately held Grandma Kang's arm as they walked slowly. Ji Xun followed beside them, taking small steps, trying to keep pace. They met neighbors as they walked out, each greeting the other, their faces filled with festive smiles. Even the surroundings created a warm and joyful atmosphere.
Gradually, more and more people gathered. The lights ahead were bright and the noise was deafening. We had arrived at the destination.
The street had become a sea of lanterns. The three of them wandered in this world of light, as if they had stepped into a time tunnel, a melodious and picturesque scene.
The trees along the road were wrapped in colorful lights, shining brightly. These ordinary, dry trees also took on a unique vitality, sharing this wonderful night with the people.
The various lanterns hung on both sides are of various shapes and sizes, each with its own unique charm. The gently swaying lanterns, viewed from afar, make people feel as if they are falling into the starry sky, dazzling and adding a touch of beauty to this festive occasion.
The lawn is decorated with various cute and lively animal lights, making it a favorite spot for children. Parents line up with their children to take photos, and the children's innocent faces are all filled with bright smiles.
The lanterns along the way are masterpieces of masterpieces, captivating you. There are images of carp leaping over the dragon gate, a large, vibrant flower basket, Chang'e flying to the moon, and two dragons playing with a pearl...
The various lanterns attracted Shang Qing's curious eyes, and she happily shuttled among the lanterns with Grandma Kang. Ji Xun followed them, holding his mobile phone, constantly recording every beautiful moment between her and Grandma Kang.
"Grandma, look at this little pig. Its belly is so round. It's ugly, but also so cute." Shang Qing found a cartoon pig, but perhaps the maker did it on purpose to make the pig look a little ugly and silly.
Grandma Kang looked over and saw that it was indeed the case. Then, she heard Shang Qing say, "I want to take a picture with it. Haha, it's so ugly."
Grandma Kang smiled helplessly and said that if it were someone else, they would definitely avoid him because he was ugly, but Qingqing refused to do that. She actually wanted to take a photo together, and the key point was that she wanted Ji Xun to be with her.
These two beautiful and dazzling children insisted on deliberately protruding their bellies. They stood side by side with puffed cheeks and wide eyes, and took a particularly cute photo.
In front of an oversized palace lantern with a phoenix spreading its wings, Shang Qing was attracted by the bright colors and beautiful posture. She called a passerby and asked her to help take a photo of the three of them.
The young lady on the street saw such beautiful boys and girls for the first time, and her eyes were almost starry. She took out her phone and acted as a makeshift photographer, taking them from the Phoenix Spreading Wings Palace Lantern to take several photos of the lanterns, and she was reluctant to put them down. It was only at her boyfriend's urging that she left, looking back every few steps.
Shang Qing was dumbfounded by the young lady's willingness to help take photos, and her dedication to her job. She was truly kind, so warm and enthusiastic. She'd met a good person. Ji Xun couldn't help but ruffle her short hair.
Shang Qing, whose hair was ruffled, glared at Ji Xun, who had a smug smile on his face, and chased after him to beat him. There were too many people around, and it was night, so Ji Xun didn't dare to run away. He let her catch up and let her gently hit his arm.
Wearing a down jacket, and without really exerting any strength, Ji Xun certainly didn't feel any pain, but he still pretended to be in so much pain that he covered his arm. This was good, and it successfully softened Shang Qing's heart.
Grandma Kang stood there, watching them play, laughing from ear to ear. Especially when she saw Ji Xun pretending to cry out in pain and Shang Qing asking about it with concern, she shook her head helplessly, the smile on her face never leaving her.
"Wow, this is so cute." Shang Qing found a little rabbit lantern. It was snow-white and furry. Under the shadow of the candle inside, it came alive and immediately caught Shang Qing's eyes.
Ji Xun took down the little rabbit lantern and handed it to Shang Qing, then paid the boss. Shang Qing fiddled with the cute rabbit, then lifted it up, revealing her rosy cheeks. Her eyes sparkled even more, and she looked even more delicate and charming.
Soon, Shang Qing was holding not only a rabbit lantern in her hand, but also a string of candied haws, and then a string of candied haws.
She took it and always gave the first bite to Grandma Kang. Grandma Kang smiled and took a bite, then stopped eating. The old lady's appetite was not that good, so she just tasted it.
Grandma Kang also took a bite of the candied haws to taste it and experience the festive atmosphere.
Shang Qing wanted to try everything, taking a few bites of the various delicacies she picked up before handing them over to Ji Xun. Ji Xun followed her around, protecting her with a good-natured smile that never faded as he ate what she offered him. He was like a tall, adorable little brother.
Grandma Kang was supported by Shang Qing as she walked forward. She walked, looked, and ate along the way. She smiled and said, "These two children are so wonderful, and time is so wonderful."
"Eh? Why are there lanterns floating in the sky?" Shang Qing exclaimed at the spectacular scene not far away, "Wow, it's a Kongming lantern!"
Grandma Kang and Ji Xun both looked up at the sky. Countless sky lanterns floated in the air, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The pitch-black sky, adorned with these living creatures, added a sense of mystery and vastness. Is this the Milky Way? The Milky Way on Earth is magnificent, romantic, and inspiring.
"Let's go! Let's go release Kongming lanterns!" Shang Qing didn't say anything and pulled the two of them and walked forward with the crowd.
After asking the boss for three Kongming lanterns and listening to him explain the precautions, Shang Qing nodded in agreement.
"Grandma, Xiao Xun, let's write our wishes on our respective Kongming lanterns." Shang Qing picked up the pen, wrote a few words very carefully, and drew a smiley face.
Ji Xun took the Kongming lantern handed to him and turned his head to look at Shang Qing who was thinking seriously and carefully writing down his wish. He lowered his head, put the tip of the pen down, and wrote a sentence on it.
Grandma Kang's fingers trembled as she held the Kongming lantern. Sadness flashed in her eyes, followed by a glimmer of faith and hope. She lowered her head and wrote down her wishes and expectations on the lantern, stroke by stroke.
"Let's fly it together." Shang Qing held the Kongming lantern carefully with Grandma Kang and Ji Xun. Together with those who shared their dreams, they gently released the small lantern.
The Kongming lanterns moved with the wind, rising slowly and flying into the vast night sky. Like twinkling stars, they flew higher and higher, carrying everyone's wishes.
Shang Qing closed her eyes and made a wish, thinking to herself, "God, please don't think I'm greedy. I do have a lot of wishes, but I believe you're a particularly generous God. You'll grant them, right? Thank you, thank you."
Ji Xun closed his eyes and made a wish. When he opened them, he saw soft lights reflected on Shang Qing's porcelain-white face. Her delicate and beautiful features were shrouded in mystery. Her closed eyes trembled slightly with her long eyelashes, and her pink lips muttered something. She must be making a wish. She looked so pious and adorable.
Ji Xun: I hope all my sister’s wishes come true!
