Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Ever since Xiao Huai appeared, the young man had been secretly sizing him up. He could sense Xiao Huai's vague hostility towards him.

Now seeing Xiao Huai hand the lantern directly to Sui Ning, the young man immediately understood what was going on.

Although Xiao Huai is taller and more handsome than him, he still wants to fight for it.

"Ms. Sui Ning is my benefactor. Are you her friend?"

Xiao Huai felt extremely uncomfortable. How come his sister became someone else's benefactor just after she went out for a while?

Then, in places where he can't see, is she still the "benefactor" of many people?

A hint of annoyance flashed across Xiao Huai's eyes, and then he emphasized, "He's a very, very good friend."

However, after hearing his answer, the young man seemed relieved. He continued to look at Sui Ning and asked, "Miss Sui Ning, are you still willing to accept my lantern?"

But before Sui Ning could say anything, Xiao Huai spoke first, "Ning Ning already has the lantern I gave her, so you should keep the lantern for yourself."

Facing his objection, the young man did not back down and said frankly: "Friends can be new, and lanterns can naturally be new too."

Xiao Huai pursed his lips tightly, his eyes dim and unclear.

He turned to look at Sui Ning, staring at her with his phoenix eyes and asked, "Sister, do you want his lantern or mine?"

As soon as the question was asked, Xiao Huai and the young man looked at Sui Ning seriously.

It seemed that Sui Ning had to choose one of the two lanterns.

Looking at the two people in front of him arguing for no apparent reason over a lantern, Sui Ning held his forehead helplessly.

But she had a closer relationship with Xiao Huai, so she said to the young man: "It was just a small favor for me to help you just now. You don't need to repay me."

"Now I have a lantern, thank you for your kindness."

The young man's expression instantly drooped, and in the end he could only look at Xiao Huai unwillingly and walked away.

At this moment, Xiao Huai was like a rooster that had won a fight, feeling very pleased with himself.

Sui Ning shook her head helplessly and asked, "Does this lantern have any other meaning?"

A hint of guilt flashed across Xiao Huai's eyes.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from my sister."

Then, he briefly introduced to Sui Ning the meaning of giving lanterns as gifts.

"Then you just..."

Facing Sui Ning's puzzled gaze, Xiao Huai's body subconsciously tensed up.

He explained in a panic, "I... Sister, please don't misunderstand me. I'm afraid that you don't understand the meaning of the lanterns and will be easily deceived by others, so..."

Sui Ning nodded and didn't delve into it any further.

Sometimes it is good for yourself and others for people to be a little confused.

The two of them walked all the way to the river.

On the way, some people wanted to give Sui Ning a lantern, but when they saw Xiao Huai beside Sui Ning and the Cuizhu Qianshan Lantern in his hand, they gave up.

Some women wanted to give Xiao Huai lanterns, but they were all rejected.

At this moment, the banks of Kyoto's moat are crowded with people, all of whom come to light lanterns and pray for blessings, wishing for good fortune, peace and success in the new year.

Colorful river lanterns are floating on the river, with lights dotting the surface, and the surging river lanterns look like a ribbon fluttering in the wind.

It is said that if you write your wishes on the river lanterns and pray sincerely, your thoughts and wishes will come true in the coming year.

Sui Ning was a little dazed as she looked at the lively scene in front of her, while Xiao Huai had already bought the river lanterns.

He wrote his wish mysteriously and placed it solemnly in the river lantern.

Then he carefully placed his lantern and Sui Ning's lantern into the moat.

Looking at the two river lanterns leaning against each other and gradually drifting away, Xiao Huai felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

He looked at Sui Ning and asked, "What did sister write?"

Sui Ning shook her head and said she didn’t write it.

She believed in herself more than these things.

Xiao Huai was stunned.

When he was in the cold palace before, he never believed these things, but after meeting Sui Ning, he believed them.

Because the god who saved him is right beside him at this moment.

Because of her, he was willing to believe in the illusory gods in the legend.

But Xiao Huai didn't know that not long after they left, his river lantern and the wish he had placed inside it were overturned by the river and sank to the bottom of the moat...

The two continued to the stone bridge to watch the fireworks.

The fireworks were blazing and shining brightly. Although they were fleeting, they left an infinite beauty in everyone's heart.

Suddenly seeing the candied haws by the bridge, Sui Ning’s thoughts were immediately brought back to the New Year’s Eve of that year.

Seeing Sui Ning staring at the candied haws in a trance, Xiao Huai asked, "Sister, do you want to eat candied haws? Wait for me, I'll go buy some."

Before Sui Ning could reply, Xiao Huai left with big strides.

Liuliu tugged at Suining's skirt and said, "Ningning, we might..."

"Has the time tunnel been repaired?" Sui Ning understood.

Liuliu felt helpless and annoyed that the headquarters always repaired the equipment at such inopportune times.

"It's still early, you can say goodbye to Xiao Huai."

Seeing Xiao Huai walking towards her with two strings of candied haws in his hand and a smile on his face, Sui Ning didn't know how to start for a moment.

Sui Ning was distracted, and Xiao Huai also felt something was wrong, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Huai, I..." Sui Ning hesitated to speak.

Xiao Huai immediately understood and said with a wry smile, "Sister...are you leaving?"

Sui Ning nodded silently.

Xiao Huai tried his best to calm his suppressed emotions and asked in a hoarse voice, "Sister...will you come back?"

"meeting."

Xiao Huai looked into Sui Ning's eyes and said solemnly, "I'll wait here for my sister to come back. No matter how long she's gone, I'll wait."

Then he took out the jade pendant his mother left him from his arms.

"I give this jade pendant to my sister. I just hope that when she sees it in the future, she will still remember Xiao Huai..."

Sui Ning did not refuse, "I will remember it, take care."

At the last moment before she left, Xiao Huai finally couldn't help but hugged her, "Sister, I'll wait for you..."

Feeling the tears dripping down her neck, Sui Ning felt mixed emotions.

At this moment, a white light flashed, and Sui Ning and Liu Liu disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Huai still maintained the hugging posture, and the faint fragrance lingering from Sui Ning's hair could still be smelled in the air.

The surrounding lantern market was bustling with people coming and going, and no one noticed that there was one person missing.

After a long time, Xiao Huai looked at the candied haws in his hand and slowly took a bite.

very sour.

Just like his mood at the moment, sour and unbearable.
