Every year during the Lantern Festival, Dad would take Shen Nanxing and her twin brother to the street to visit the lantern festival, and always buy them some of their favorite little gadgets.
When there were many people around, Dad would carry Shen Nanxing on his shoulders so that she could see the lively performance clearly. Shen Nanxing would always sit on Dad's shoulders excitedly and sway.
And she could only follow them quietly like a rat in a sewer, afraid of being discovered. She imagined countless times in her heart that one day her father would carry her on his back and walk openly through the streets...
Although Dad would often buy things for her and her brother, and would hug them, all of this was done in secret. He only dared to be affectionate with them in the small courtyard where they lived.
Once they leave the courtyard, even if they meet outside, he will pretend not to know them. They dare not call him, and can only pass by him as strangers.
She also envied Shen Nanxing's mother, who always wore silk and satin, and wore all kinds of beautiful jewelry, and was respected wherever she went.
Unlike her mother, she was always cautious in her actions outside, fearing that she would make a mistake and be laughed at. If she got into an argument with someone and was wronged, she would only be able to wipe her tears in secret. Even if her father knew about it, he would not intervene on her mother's behalf, for fear that his relationship with her would be discovered.
There is also Shen Nanxing's grandfather. He is obviously her grandfather, but the old man only smiles at Shen Nanxing, is only nice to Shen Nanxing, and spoils her in everything.
What she envied most was that Shen Nanxing had a childhood sweetheart, a prince, who later became Prince Jing Xie Tingyu.
Shen Nanxing always shamelessly followed the boy, calling him Brother Yu, and although the boy looked disgusted, he always stopped to wait for her.
He often gave her some novel gadgets, bought her her favorite snacks, and even carefully wiped the corners of her mouth. His eyes were always warm when he looked at her...
She also often liked to follow them secretly and secretly look at the handsome and warm boy.
Her mother was a concubine who could not be seen in public, and she, the daughter of a concubine, could not be seen in public either.
She stayed outside the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion every day. Whenever someone came out of the mansion, she would pretend to be a passerby and secretly peek into Shen Nanxing's life.
Every three days, Shen Nanxing would go to see Xie Tingyu alone, and she would follow him quietly at a distance.
Every time the young man saw Shen Nanxing from afar, he would smile.
Although it was not obvious on his face, she could see clearly from nearby that when the young man saw Shen Nanxing, his eyes would light up, and his eyes were full of Shen Nanxing, with no room for anyone else.
For example, she would occasionally pretend to be a passerby and walk past the two of them, but the boy never once gave her even a glance.
The funny thing is, Shen Nanxing always complained about the boy, saying he always had a stern face, as if he was unhappy to be with her. He would often pout and act like a spoiled child, asking for this and that, and the boy would always satisfy her...
Shen Nanxing also has a bad temper. She would turn around and leave if she disagreed with something. The young man always followed her, coaxing her... and always indulging her!
She had fantasized countless times in her mind that if the boy treated her like this, she would never lose her temper. She would be very well-behaved, never make him angry, and make him happy every day.
Countless times, she followed Shen Nanxing not far away as she walked towards the boy, and saw his eyes suddenly light up, smiling as he walked towards them. In a trance, she would think that the boy was walking towards her with a smile, so she would also greet him with a bright smile.
But every time, the boy stopped in front of Shen Nanxing, bent down to touch Shen Nanxing's hair, took the things in Shen Nanxing's hand, and never looked at her again.
