Chapter 38 Making a Wish

Jiang Qi's powerful heartbeat penetrated Yan Qi's ears forcefully.

A numbing current penetrated her skin and enveloped her heart.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Yan Qi looked up in panic, and met Jiang Qi's eyes with a look of surprise that he couldn't take back.

Both of them were stunned.

Jiang Qi helped her stand up, stepped back half a step, and said unnaturally:

"Since you want to buy it, then go back."

As he said that, he was about to go back.

Yan Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull on his sleeve, and slowly let go in his lowered eyes:

“There are so many fish lanterns, so it’s cheaper to buy them from another store.”

Probably because of God's good will, as soon as Yan Qi finished speaking, there was a place selling fish lanterns not far away.

"Look!"

Yan Qi happily ran over and picked out the beautiful and exquisite fish lanterns.

Jiang Qi looked at her profile and his hand gradually touched her heart.

It was empty there.

Yan Qi had already forgotten the incident in the dazzling array of fish lanterns. She picked up a light green fish lantern with a hint of golden color and turned around to ask Jiang Qi:

"Does this look good?"

Under the light of the fish lantern, stars seemed to shine in her eyes.

"……nice."

Jiang Qi coughed slightly and shifted his gaze.

"That's it!" Yan Qi smiled brightly. He felt confident enough with the money and paid easily.

She took Jiang Qi and wandered around the streets. Occasionally she looked up at the sky lanterns rising into the sky, and her smile became even stronger.

"Do you have anything you like? I'll buy it for you."

She was shopping all the way, but she didn't see what Jiang Qi liked.

"No."

Jiang Qi lowered his eyes and glanced at the pile of things in his hand. He had no desire to buy any more. He couldn't carry any more.

"How can that be done! I have to buy new things for the New Year!"

Yan Qi muttered and pointed his chin with his index finger, searching the objects on the street with his eyes, wondering what would be better to buy Jiang Qi.

Suddenly, a crystal-white jade hairpin caught Yan Qi's attention.

She picked up the moire-style hairpin on the stall and held it in her hand to examine it carefully.

Simple design without losing personality, isn't it specially created for Jiang Qi?

"Boss, I want this!"

Yan Qi took the hairpin and drew it on Jiang Qi's head. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it looked:

"Here, happy New Year."

She took Jiang Qi's hand and put the hairpin into his palm.

Jiang Qi’s gifts have been bought, what should Yue Jue buy?

Yan Qi picked at the stall again, and at least he got a money bag, so he had to give him a gift anyway.

Jiang Qi looked at the hosta in his palm, and then glanced at Yue Huan's busy figure, with a complicated expression.

Yan Qi chose a crystal yellow jade pendant for Yue Jue. There was a lotus carved in the middle of the design, which was noble and holy.

It really suits his temperament.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Qi, who was looking at the hosta in a daze, and asked, "Don't you like this hosta?"

"You can change it if you don't like it!"

Jiang Qi, who was stroking the hosta, glanced at her and put the hosta away.

"No."

"Let's go."

After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he walked forward.

"Hey, I haven't paid yet!" the vendor hurriedly called to Jiang Qi who was about to leave, "This little lady has picked so many, how can a husband accept the gift and leave?"

Husband?!

Jiang Qi frowned and stared at Yan Qi coldly. She hasn't paid yet?

Yan Qi was so shaken that he hurriedly explained: "I'll pay for the misunderstanding! I'll pay for it now!"

Don’t dare to recognize your husband randomly!

"How much?"

Yan Qi was a little confused, and Jiang Qi's cold eyes sent shivers down her spine.

"It turns out that the lady is in charge of the money, and she mistakenly blamed the young husband." The vendor was a talkative man. Seeing Yan Qi take out a heavy bag of money, he looked at Jiang Qi apologetically.

Yan Qi:......

My little husband... he's going to die!

"What's your look? What a mess!"

Yan Qi simply didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Qi's eyes and glared at the stall owner, "Whose woman are you looking at combing her hair into a girl's bun?"

"Ouch! Don't be offended, sir, I'm just a little one with stupid eyes." The vendor saw Yan Qi's headdress and then realized, "The appearance of the two of you is really one of a million. The little one was dazzled for a moment, so I apologize to you.

How about you put a zero on it?"

The vendor stretched out a hand and spread his fingers, "There are fifty-one taels of silver in total, so add zeros and fifty-taels!"

You really know how to do business.

Just add a zero...

Does she look like someone who can bargain?

Wait, why was she led astray? Is this a matter of bargaining?

Yan Qi wanted to say something else, so Jiang Qi took the money bag in her hand and took out a one hundred tael silver note and handed it over.

"Let's go." He said in a deep voice, taking Yan Qi's wrist and leaving.

Yan Qi stared blankly at the banknote in the vendor's hand, and then glanced at Jiang Qi, who showed no emotion.

She suspected that Jiang Qi was engaging in a very new type of reverse bargaining.

Someone asked for fifty taels to erase zero, but he directly gave one hundred taels.

Even if you have money, you won’t be such a prodigal!

"Thank you, Lord!"

Even after Yan Qi walked a long way, he could still hear the grateful voices of the vendors.

That’s one hundred taels, what an ordinary family would spend for several years!

Heartache.

The two of them were silent all the way, Jiang Qi lowered his eyes from time to time to look at the sad girl beside him.

Are you still angry about what the vendor just said?

A woman's reputation is indeed very important, and so should she be angry.

Suddenly, the girl's eyes sparkled like stars again.

"etc!"

Yan Qi broke free from Jiang Qi's wrist and ran excitedly to the river.

The river lanterns are shining with sparkling light, densely lighting up the entire lake, more dazzling than the Milky Way.

"Grandma, do you still have river lanterns like this?"

Yan Qi pointed to the beautiful lotus lanterns in the river and asked the old woman on the bank.

"Girl, you're late, the lotus river lanterns are sold out."

Seeing Yan Qi's disappointed look, the old woman then introduced another item on the stall: "The river lantern is gone. Does Miss Sky Lantern need it?"

Sky lantern?

Yan Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Grandma, I want all these lights!"

Yan Qi saw that there were more than ten sky lanterns in the old woman's stall next to him, and he bought them all with a wave of his hand.

Jiang Qi:……

Do you have so many wishes to make?

"If a girl wants to make a wish, a sky lantern is enough."

The old woman looked at Yan Qi with a smile and tried to persuade her with gentle words. She was not overjoyed because Yan Qi had rounded up her stall.

"Make a wish?"

Yan Qi looked up at the scattered sky lanterns in the night sky, which were as bright as stars. Did they actually have this function?

It’s too romantic!

"Yes, river lanterns and sky lanterns are the wishing lanterns for our Yuezhi Nation's festivals."

Seeing that Yan Qi didn't understand, the old woman was a little surprised: "Is it possible that the girl is not from Yuezhi?"

The way they dress is indeed that of the Yuezhi people.

"..."

Yan Qi noticed an inquiring gaze coming from behind him.

She stabilized her mind and explained: "Grandma, I have been bedridden all year round and rarely leave the house, so I don't know much about it."

When the old woman heard this, she felt a little distressed for a moment and didn't think much about it.

"Good boy, grandma will give you a sky lantern. May you be safe and sound in the future."

Yan Qi looked at the sky lantern handed over by his grandma, his eyes a little moist.

The world is so lovely, and the people in the world are so sincere.

She choked with sobs and thanked her: "Thank you so much, grandma."

"But one cup is not enough, just buy them all for me!"

Her wish is so heavy that one lamp may not be able to bear it.

The old woman did not try to persuade her anymore, but arranged the sky lanterns one by one for Yan Qi so that she could light them easily.

"Thank you grandma, happy new year." Yan Qi paid the money and thanked her softly.

"Happy New Year." The old woman's eyes were full of kindness, she gracefully returned the greeting, stood up and walked away.

Yan Qi knelt down, lit a sky lantern, and looked at Jiang Qi, who was standing among the orchids and jade trees on the bank.

How great would it be if time stayed at this moment?

Facing Jiang Qi's deep phoenix eyes, a smile spread across Yan Qi's face.

"Don't be angry, come and release the sky lanterns!"

The man's ink-like eyes stared at her. When did he become angry?

She was silent all the way, did she think he was angry?

…

The scorching flames illuminated Yan Qi's smiling face even more tenderly.

Jiang Qi glanced at her bright and pure eyes and explained quietly: "I'm not angry."

Um?

Yan Qi, who was holding the sky lantern, was stunned and subconsciously said: "Why did you pay him a hundred taels if you weren't angry?"

Isn't it because he is impatient and wants to spend money to make him shut up?

"What one hundred taels?" Jiang Qi was puzzled.

"..."

Yan Qi handed him the money bag and said, "See for yourself."

Jiang Qi saw the value of the banknote in the money bag and fell silent.

He cleared his throat: "Be careful next time."

And next time?

Yan Qi pursed his lips and did not dare to refute.

Jiang Qi glanced at Yan Qi calmly, the corners of his lips rising slightly.

One by one, the sky lanterns were successfully launched into the sky. Yan Qi secretly thought to himself, considering that she bought so many sky lanterns, he must help her realize her wish.

Not much.

Bless Yuezhi and bless Jiang Qi.

She is not greedy.
