After Gao Han stayed at Bai Yu'an's place for dinner at noon, the two of them made an appointment to go to the river to watch lanterns in the evening.
In the afternoon, the two went to the backyard to play chess again. It was almost dark after they finished playing chess.
On the carriage, Gao Han looked at Bai Yu'an: "Why did you think of playing chess today?"
"In the past, when I asked you to play chess, you just refused and said you didn't want to put in the effort."
Bai Yu'an leaned against the car window and stared blankly at the lanterns lit on the roadside.
The cool breeze blew on her face, and her hair was blown to her lips. The light in her pupils was flowing, and there was a faint tranquility.
The wide-brimmed white sleeves fell to the elbows, half of them were flying in the wind, and the other half fell under the window. The wrists looked extremely delicate.
Bai Yu'an did not answer Gao Han's words, but looked at the lanterns on the roadside and said softly: "What does it look like to stand on a high building and admire the lanterns?"
Gao Han looked at Bai Yu'an, his silent and peaceful appearance was particularly attractive, like the fragrant white magnolia.
He came slightly closer to him and said with a low smile: "Qingxi wants to see it, I will take you to see it later."
“The observation deck in Hui Tower has the best view, you will definitely like it.”
Bai Yu'an rested his face on his palms and shook his head, then looked at Gao Han and said, "I don't want to go to that place."
Gao Han saw that Bai Yu'an was serious and asked subconsciously: "Why?"
Bai Yu'an felt a little cold, so he put down his hand on the window sill of the carriage, went to the brazier to grill it, and said, "Hui Lou sounds tacky."
The faint firelight illuminated Bai Yu'an's face, and the tip of her straight nose was particularly conspicuous.
The slightly unreasonable words made Gao Han laugh silently.
He said in a low voice: "Then let's go climb the tall building."
"You can also see the lights all over the city."
Bai Yu'an also had this intention, and the carriage headed for the high-rise building.
When they reached the top of the climbing building, Bai Yu'an discovered that it had started to snow at some point.
Although the falling snow was not heavy, it fell into the sky one after another, isolated among the lights at the bottom of the building, as if separated by a layer of foggy clouds.
I couldn't help but stretch out my hand to catch the snow. Watching the snow flakes melt on my fingertips, I let out another breath of white air.
The lights in half of the city were bright, and acrobats with lion dances were passing through the streets. From time to time, a firework would light up in the sky, and the noise below could be vaguely heard.
Bai Yu'an leaned on the fence, letting the cold wind in the sky blow the hunting wind in her hair.
The white robe hit the fence and made a snapping sound. The scene he recalled was still the scene of leaving home.
Mu Yang's father, who had not been out for a long time, sent her out of the city gate. The three sisters all had tears in their eyes, standing in the cold early spring, watching her go out of sight before turning back.
Gao Han's eyes were on Bai Yu'an. When he saw him looking down in a daze and not saying anything, he couldn't help but whisper: "Qingxi, do you like the capital?"
Bai Yu'an didn't like the capital much, as there were so many people coming and going.
If it weren't for the heavy expectations placed on her by her father, she would have wanted to find a peaceful life.
Whether serving the court, becoming a humerus, living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, or disappearing in the market, Bai Yu'an has always been easygoing.
She was different from others since she was born, and seemed to have to be cautious in everything she did.
I just hope that this will come to an end.
Without thinking too much, Bai Yu'an said: "The capital is too noisy, but there is also a quiet place amid the troubles. I can't say whether I like it or not."
Gao Han nodded: "In a busy city, if you don't fit in with others, you will feel out of place."
Bai Yu'an nodded silently.
The two talked for a while, and they became cold after standing for a long time.
A Tao took the cloak and put it on Bai Yu'an, complaining: "It's cold and snowy, and we have to come to such a high place again. Young Master is really not afraid of the cold."
Bai Yu'an folded his cloak and looked at Gao Han: "Brother Gao, are you cold?"
Gao Han stood next to Bai Yu'an in white clothes. His tall body blocked a lot of cold wind for Bai Yu'an, but he shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not bad."
Bai Yu'an turned back to A Tao and said regretfully: "After all, she is a woman, but her health is not good."
A Tao pointed at Bai Yu'an with wide eyes and almost lost the energy to carry it.
Gao Han smiled and said to Bai Yu'an, "Let's go eat first."
Bai Yu'an nodded. On the way, A Tao was still unconvinced and pinched Bai Yu'an's waist secretly. The two bickered downstairs.
After dinner, I went to Wei Ruyi's shop to have a look.
As soon as Wei Ruyi saw Bai Yu'an coming, she quickly put down what she was doing and walked over, pulled Bai Yu'an's sleeve and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
"Why did you go back first that night? You didn't even say hello."
Bai Yu'an then remembered what happened that night. It seemed that the person Shen Jue had asked to come said so.
Bai Yu'an gave Wei Ruyi a reassuring look and said, "It's okay. I just ran into a friend and left first."
Wei Ruyi nodded and said to Bai Yu'an: "Why don't you go in and sit in the shop?"
Bai Yu'an glanced inside. There were three or four people standing beside her. It was a bit cramped to go in, so she shook her head.
She asked again: "How good is the business of the shop? Have you encountered any problems?"
Wei Ruyi smiled and said: "The business of the shop is not bad. There are many people coming out of this street at night, so it is even busier at night." "
Bai Yu'an nodded: "That's good."
She also saw that Wei Ruyi always had a smile on his face and looked better than before. She guessed that he had been thinking more broadly recently and his face became brighter.
Gao Han stood aside, looked at the shop, and asked Bai Yu'an, "Is this the shop you bought?"
Bai Yu'an smiled and nodded: "Ruyi is good at making pastries. I just thought of opening a shop for her so as not to bury her skills."
Gao Han nodded and said to the entourage behind him: "Go buy a few pieces of each and take them back. I will give them to my parents and people in the house to taste."
The entourage behind Gao Han quickly went to the shop to pick out pastries.
When Bai Yu'an saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "How can I let Brother Gao spend money? I don't have to give money. I'll treat Brother Gao."
Gao Han looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "It's just a few pieces of cake for my mother to taste. If they taste good, I'll ask the housekeeper to come here to buy them next time."
"You don't have to be embarrassed, it's just my thoughts."
"And you are my junior brother. I should take care of you. Don't be estranged from me."
Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment and couldn't push it any further. He could only smile and said: "Then I will accept Brother Gao's wishes."
Wei Ruyi also saluted Gao Han from the side: "Thank you, Mr. Gao."
Gao Han put his hands behind his hands and looked at Bai Yu'an: "I just hope you won't reject me next time."
Bai Yu'an smiled and nodded, then walked to the river to look at the river lanterns in the flowing water.
The river lantern flows away in an instant along the flowing water, and the youth you see only lasts a moment.
Gao Han accompanied Bai Yu'an, surrounded by thousands of colorful lanterns, which made the cold night less cold and made his heart feel slightly warm.
The light from the lanterns flashed across Bai Yu'an's face one after another, bright and dim for a while, bright and dim, out of reach.
Gao Han lowered his head and looked at Bai Yu'an for a long time, and saw that her eyes were always fixed on the lantern, without even glancing at him, so he couldn't help but lower his eyes again.
Before leaving, Wei Ruyi packed several large and small paper bags and sent them over: "Adults like to eat these, I have made some new tricks."
"My lord, go back and taste it. If you like it, ask Mother Chen to come over and make some more."
Bai Yu'an could hardly hold the paper packets in her hands, so she took two for A Tao and then said with a smile: "Okay."
Wei Ruyi looked at Bai Yu'an again, her eyes slightly red: "I see that you have lost some weight recently, please don't stay up late at night."
Bai Yu'an felt sad when someone cared about him like this.
She also nodded gratefully: "You too, don't be tired."
After saying a few words of farewell, I got into the carriage and went back.
