Ji Shu was so hot that he wanted to bury his chin in the rabbit wool scarf.
"I was wrong."
She begged for mercy in a low voice, lowering her eyes to avoid Qi Ye's fiery gaze, and silently expressed her attitude.
I don't want to get any closer.
Qi Ye's expression was gloomy, he hugged her and buried him on her shoulders. He relaxed for a while and then slowly let go of her.
"What do you want to do today? I'll accompany you."
Ji Shu raised his eyes to look at him.
"I want to go to the shops."
After a while of tea, the two arranged their clothes, put on their veils and masks, and went out together.
On New Year's Eve, Yan'an Mansion was even more lively than usual. There were all kinds of stalls in the shops, selling New Year's goods, firecrackers, and candies.
The previous disaster seemed to be just a dream.
Qi Ye disappeared at some point. When Ji Shu found out, he left and returned again, carrying a box back.
"what is this?"
"You just looked at everything."
Ji Shu's eyes moved and he opened the box. There was a circle of colorful candy pills inside, which were assorted candies sold at a stall before. There were children surrounding the stall. Ji Shu looked at them for several times but didn't have the nerve to go there.
Qi Ye smiled and said, "Try it?"
Ji Shu pinched one and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet. He took another one and put it to Qi Ye's mouth.
Qi Ye glanced at her, opened his mouth and took the tip of her finger, and took away the sugar pill with his tongue.
Ji Shu stiffened.
Qi Ye lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Shu Baiying's fingertips, looked away, bit the sugar pill in his mouth, and said:
"Very sweet."
Ji Shu muffled his head and wiped the crystal on his fingertips.
The best thing you can say is sugar!
The two of them walked from the street to the end of the street. It was getting dark. Ji Shu was still thinking about the reunion dinner, so he took him back home.
While walking, I passed by a shop selling Kongming lanterns.
Business seemed to be very good, and many people bought it. Ji Shu also bought two of them, and each of them took one.
Back at the house, Qingtan and the others had already prepared half of the dishes for the reunion dinner. Ji Shu quickly took off his cloak, rolled up his sleeves and started cooking. He grabbed a carp and made a dish called "Carp Jumping Over the Dragon Gate", which shocked everyone with his skills.
Fireworks filled the sky outside the house, and Ji Shu and the others gathered in the room and drank and chatted. They were still restrained at first, but after a few glasses of rice wine, they became bolder.
The bodyguards caught Qi Ye and asked him questions, expressing their respect. Qi Ye respected them one by one. It was almost time to finish the meal.
Everyone crowded in front of the door to watch the New Year, and Qi Ye quietly took Ji Shu away.
Ji Shu also drank two drinks during the dinner, his face was red, but he was not drunk.
She shook the hands they were holding and asked, "Why don't you stay up late with everyone?"
Qi Ye squeezed her hand gently and replied naturally: "Because I just want to be with you. And I just want you to be with me."
Ji Shu only felt warm. He felt that he was not drunk just now, but now he was not sure.
She lowered her head sullenly, "The general said it was his first time chasing a girl, but this sweet mouth really seemed to be a good one."
"Maybe I'll understand after seeing you."
Ji Shu twitched the corner of her mouth, not very happy. She suddenly remembered what Qingtan told her that Qi Ye recognized the wrong person.
She raised her other hand to cover her eyes, feeling sour in her heart.
It sounds nice, but it's not like you recognized the wrong person.
Qi Ye led her to the back courtyard. The noise in the front yard was far away, and everything was quiet now.
The lively fireworks just now were no longer visible, and Ji Shu looked at the sky curiously.
"Why don't you set off any fireworks?"
Qi Ye handed her a Kongming lantern and said with a smile: "Following the custom of An Mansion, the Kongming lantern is lit on New Year's Eve."
"Why?"
Ji Shu reached out to take it, and when he looked at the sky, he saw that there was already a sky lantern floating up.
Qi Ye released a lantern in his hand and said slowly: "There are frequent wars along An'an Prefecture and adjacent to Weihai Customs. Almost all the people here have descendants of their descendants in the military camps. Putting up Kongming lanterns is not only to pray for peace, but also to commemorate their presence in the military camp." Relatives and friends who died in the war.”
Ji Shu was startled. She looked at Qi Ye and seemed to be infected by his faint sadness.
She didn't want to see Qi Ye like this. She preferred him to be calm and steady on weekdays, but occasionally careless... or even behave like a rogue towards her.
A sentence suddenly rang in Ji Shu's mind, something her mother told her when she was young -
"General!"
Ji Shu tugged on Qi Ye's sleeves, pointed at the stars, and said with a smile:
"Did you know that after someone dies—"
"They will become stars and continue to light up the future of their loved ones in the sky."
Qi Ye looked at her and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's been fifteen years, do you still remember this sentence to lie to children?"
Ji Shu was stunned.
"you……"
There was a flash of lightning in her mind, and the memories that had been sealed in her heart were suddenly revealed.
This face looks more and more familiar!
"Is it you - that brother from back then?!"
Qi Ye: "It's hard for you to still remember me. I thought you wouldn't be able to remember me anymore."
Ji Shu lowered his head.
No wonder, no wonder Qi Ye said he knew him, but it turns out he really did!
He really didn't recognize the wrong person.
But how could he still remember what happened fifteen years ago?
"I remember it clearly."
It seemed that Ji Shu had everything written on his face. Qi Ye chuckled lightly, raised his eyebrows and said:
"I remember that there was a little girl who couldn't even tell the difference between sweat and tears. She dropped the golden beans in grievance and wanted to 'coax' me at the same time."
Ji Shu, who was forced to remember, covered his face.
Please shut up.
She really doesn't want to remember it! !
Ji Shu was six years old at the time and was very enlightened. Ji Chengfeng was two years ahead of her. At that time, in addition to studying, she also had to learn to practice swordsmanship and horseback riding.
At that time, Ji Chengfeng was at the age where he could be hated by dogs. He knew that little Ji Shu was coveting his pony, but he still showed off to her every day that he had a horse to ride.
Little Ji Shu finally made it to enlightenment, and the first thing he did was to learn to ride a horse.
But as soon as I brought it up, I was slapped on the palm of my hand. The reason is that the most important thing for a lady is to be dignified and steady.
Little Ji Shu refused to listen to this, secretly rode a horse and fell into the mud, was scolded, and ran away from home in tears!
It happened to be the emperor's spring hunting at that time, and Ji Shu and Qi Ye were taken there by their parents and grandfather.
Qi Ye was at the age where he was practicing martial arts. According to his grandfather's request, he stood in a military posture under the sun, sweating profusely.
When he was about to take a rest, a crying mud ball ran behind him.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.nest, I will never ignore daddy again, and I will never, not be fat again (go) home, wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Xiao Jishu was running away with his head buried in his head when he hit Qi Ye's thigh like a cannonball, causing him to fall to his knees.
"Wow--"
Qi Ye felt as if his head was exploding. He covered his ears and turned around, saying fiercely: "Stop crying!"
"belch!"
Xiao Jishu was so frightened that he burped and raised his head with tears in his eyes.
Under the back sun, Qi Ye's entire face was in darkness. Little Ji Shu was so frightened that he bit his handkerchief. His elder brother was so fierce that he died.
Qi Ye put down his hand and pointed the way for her, "Go farther away and don't bother me."
Xiao Jishu wiped away her tears and said firmly, "I won't leave! I want to run away from home. I won't be fat anymore."
“A tiger will eat you if you’re caught running around.”
This place is close to the paddock, Qi Ye deliberately scared her.
Xiao Jishu was really frightened and didn't dare to say anything for three seconds.
Seeing that she refused to leave, Qi Ye thought that Jun Zi had not been able to stand for a full period of time, so he stopped caring about her.
Xiao Jishu peeked at him timidly, and suddenly noticed that his face was shining brightly.
There are so many, and the eyes are red (from the sun).
Xiao Jishu's face wrinkled up and she thought to herself, it turned out that the reason why the fierce little brother was cruel to her was because he was not happy either, and he was secretly crying!
