How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

The touch from his palm was delicate and smooth, like the finest silk, and the caress as he walked touched his heart.

Her hands are so small.

This was the first thought that flashed through Yu Wan's mind.

A surge of inexplicable joy followed, and a warm feeling welled up uncontrollably in his heart, filling his entire being.

"Senior Brother Yu, look! They're releasing sky lanterns!"

A girl's clear, crisp voice sounded beside him, filled with excitement.

Yu Wan looked up and followed the direction the girl was pointing.

In the deep, dark night sky, lanterns slowly rose, illuminating the entire night sky like a beautiful painting.

The people releasing sky lanterns also had smiles on their faces, filled with anticipation and hope for the future.

"nice."

"Senior Brother Yu, let's go release them too!" The girl's eyes sparkled.

Her bright face held an expectant look, making it hard to refuse her, and Yu Wan wouldn't refuse either.

However, before he could agree, before he could even utter the words "thank goodness," the girl forcefully pulled him to a nearby stall.

Ye Yueyue said, "Boss, I'd like two sky lanterns!"

"Alright, pick whatever you like," the vendor said cheerfully to the two.

Ye Yueyue looked up and saw that the stall was full of various sky lanterns. There were many sky lanterns, in yellow and pink, with some patterns painted on them.

Ye Yueyue picked out a pink sky lantern with peach blossom patterns painted on it, and said to the vendor with satisfaction, "This is it!"

"Alright, five coins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wan tossed the money over. The vendor weighed it in his hand and immediately beamed with joy, muttering to himself, "Sir, this is too much."

Yu Wan didn't even look up. "No need to look anymore."

"Senior Brother Yu, why don't you choose one too?"

Ye Yueyue looked at him with a smile.

He was about to say no, but seeing the girl's expectant gaze, he swallowed his words and replied gently, "This one, please."

He casually pointed to a sky lantern.

Ye Yueyue looked up and saw the lamp she had just said she liked, but after hesitating for a while, she ultimately didn't choose it.

The pale yellow sky lantern was decorated with a rabbit pattern.

"Does Senior Brother like this too?" She smiled and her eyes crinkled with delight.

"Ah."

Actually, he doesn't like it and is indifferent to it.

But faced with Ye Yueyue's expectant gaze, he subconsciously didn't want to refuse her, nor did he want to spoil the mood.

"It seems we have similar tastes. It's so great to know Senior Brother Yu!"

A girl's joyful voice rang out.

Yu Wanting's heart softened, and her expression became much gentler.

The two walked to the riverbank, where many people were releasing sky lanterns. Ye Yueyue walked to a less crowded spot and sat down.

The two who sat down naturally loosened their entwined hands. Yu Wan lowered his eyelashes to conceal his emotions and suppress the emptiness in his heart.

"Senior Brother Yu, could you help me up?" Ye Yueyue looked up at him.

"it is good."

Yu Wan responded, his slender fingertips holding a corner of the sky lantern, and held it up.

Ye Yueyue looked at his handsome face, which was full of seriousness, and found it amusing. She reached out her hand and pretended that there wasn't enough space between them, so she sat down next to Yu Wan.

The two of them quickly closed the distance between them, and their shoulders touched.

Ye Yueyue leaned closer and whispered, "Senior Brother Yu, I'm going to light it now."

The girl's voice was very soft, and the way she spoke in a low voice was extremely cute. Yu Wan's heart stirred, feeling a ticklish sensation, as if something was taking root and sprouting in his heart.

"it is good."

With a thought, a small flame suddenly appeared in Ye Yueyue's hand.

The tiny flame shone brightly in the night, and she guided it to light the wick of the sky lantern.

As the sky lanterns were lit, the peach blossom patterns painted on them shone brightly, making them exquisite and beautiful.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Senior Brother Yu, have you ever heard that you have to make a wish when releasing a sky lantern?" The girl suddenly turned her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling with countless stars.

Yu Wan thought for a moment, then said, "I've heard of it."

"So tell me, if I make a wish, will it come true?"

Yu Wan originally wanted to say that he didn't know, but then he changed his mind and said firmly, "Yes."

Looking into the girl's expectant eyes, filled with earnestness, he still couldn't bear to see her disappointed.

In fact, he didn't know, and he never believed in these things. Compared to placing his hopes on vague wishes, Yu Wan believed in himself more.

"With Senior Brother Yu's help, it will definitely come true!"

Ye Yueyue tapped her chin lightly with both hands, muttering to herself, "What should I wish for?"

"I want to go home, I want to become a peerless little master, I want to..."

Yu Wan listened to her rambling, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, Ye Yueyue turned to look at him, "I have so many wishes I want to make, Senior Brother Yu, isn't it a bit too greedy?"

Before he could speak, the girl suddenly changed her tone and stared at him intently.

"Well, let's just make one wish then, and save the next one for next time!"

After saying this, Ye Yueyue closed her eyes and spoke in a reverent tone:

"I pray that...every year will be like this morning."

The girl's voice was a little soft, and the noisy surroundings made it difficult for him to hear her clearly, so Yu Wan couldn't help but lower his head and listen carefully.

Is it like today, year after year?

Yu Wan lowered his eyelashes and looked down at her face.

The girl's face was full of seriousness, and her soft voice seemed to caress his heart. Her bright face was made even more beautiful by the light of the sky lantern.

Yu Wan suddenly thought, "If that's the case, it's not bad either."

“I’ve made my promise, Yu…” Senior Brother.

Ye Yueyue opened her eyes, raised her head, and wanted to say something, but suddenly brushed against his cheek, her lips immediately touching a cool sensation.

!!!

Their eyes met, and she paused, unable to finish her sentence.

Time seemed to have stood still.

They both held their breath simultaneously, as if they could feel each other's heartbeats, one after another.

When they can't listen to anything else, the whole world consists of just the two of them.

Yu Wan's mind went blank; all he could feel was the soft touch of his lips on hers.

Ye Yueyue stared at him blankly, as if she had lost her mind. Their eyes met, accompanied by a tremor in their hearts.

The sky lantern, without anyone noticing, let go and flew into the sky.

Without the lights, the dim night concealed some of the turbulent undercurrents.

It seemed like a moment, yet it also felt like an eternity.

Ye Yueyue's face flushed red, and she lowered her head.

Yu Wan could only see her slightly trembling eyelashes and hear her panting. His eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyelashes.

At that moment, neither of them spoke.

They could only hear each other breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl stammered, "Senior Brother Yu, it's getting late, I need to go back."

Yu Wan immediately offered, "I'll take you."

Ye Yueyue was stunned when the other person spoke; the voice was deep and hoarse.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but have a thought.
