Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Seven: Wild Dog Food
The two sat on the boat and watched the crowds coming and going on the shore.
"What are you doing there?" Shui Zexi looked up and looked at a large group of people standing on the corridor on the shore, which instantly attracted her attention. She looked at the boatman and asked.
"Oh, they are watching the lanterns there! It's daytime now, and the small vendors are coming out to sell lanterns. Because at night, we won't row here. All the boats will stop at the unified dock, and they will be freed up here as a place to put lanterns. So, if you want to come out tonight, you can stand on the bridge and see the lanterns full of water, which is very beautiful." The boatman said to them.
"Put lanterns? But now it's not what lanterns should be put on on Valentine's Day?" Everyone knows that lanterns are usually put on some lanterns on larger festivals. But there are no festivals recently, why do you think of putting on lanterns again? Is it a gimmick for the cultural festival here?
"You don't know this. Every year, the cultural festival will hold a lantern event on the sixth night. There are many types of lanterns, and pray for love, just like you said that you can put them on the Chinese Valentine's Day; there are also those who make wishes for yourself, and those who give peace to your family and friends. There are many, you can go up and take a look later. The cultural festival has been held here for so many years, and many people will participate in this event every year." The boatman introduced them to the lantern event while rowing hard.
Dugu Ming took her to her side and asked, "Do we want to put one in the evening?"
"Okay, I want to put one for the two grandmas, I want to wish them good health and longevity. I also want one for Jin Ling and Mu Qi, I hope they get married soon. There is also Aunt Jin and her husband, and they also want one. And my friends, they also want one..." Shui Zexi thought for a long time, but even Liu Shiyu was counted, but there was no Dugu Ming's share. His face became darker and darker, and he wanted to pry Shui Zexi's head open to see what was inside?
"Where is mine? Why didn't you think of me?" Dugu Ming looked at her aggrievedly, and his face read: I'm right next to you, can't even see it so close? You said everything in your heart, but I don't have me! The baby is very aggrieved.
Shui Zexi was so happy that he almost vomited blood after replying: "Are you doing well? What wish do you need?"
Dugu Ming was speechless, why didn’t he understand this girl?
The boatman looked at the two of them at the bow of the boat, and recalled that when he was young, he also liked to talk to his wife like this!
"Sorry, I'll just let it go." The boatman couldn't help but give them some advice: "Just just now, this lady said that she would put a lot of lanterns, so it's time to put the lanterns early tonight. The lanterns will be at 8 o'clock in the evening. At that time, the current flow will be restricted here. If you come late, you can't queue up. You have to wait a long time, and your safety will not be guaranteed."
From the beginning to the present, this lantern-laying activity has become a tourist attraction here. There are many people who put lanterns and many people who watch lanterns!
Dugu Ming and Shui Zexi sat on the boat, and the boatman slowly rowed the boat, sitting together to see the beautiful scenery on the shore.
What a small bridge and flowing water home!
"Look, is it Dugu Ming on the boat?!" Suddenly, an excited voice sounded on the shore.
"Yes! He wore this dress last time I went to the comic exhibition! I'll show you the photos!" The girl's voice was very excited.
The fan that Shui Zexi held in her hand as an accessories finally came in handy and quickly blocked Dugu Ming's face.
"What's wrong? There is a handsome husband who won't let others see him!" Dugu Ming turned to look at her and raised his eyebrows.
"Good mouth and smooth tongue!" Shui Zexihu glanced at him.
Wait, I'll go up later, there are two of them that look good!
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them came up, they were surrounded by a group of girls. Their attitude was as good as a popular young actor who appeared at the airport. A large number of fans picked him up and almost squeezed Shui Zexi back onto the boat.
"Be careful!" Dugu Ming quickly took Shui Zexi and took the opportunity to his arms.
The crowd was exclaimed, and the "cheering" of some little fans and girlfriend fans.
"My husband is so handsome!"
"The person I like is right!"
Such words sounded in my ears from time to time, and Dugu Ming frowned.
In his heart, only his wife can call him "husband". A completely strange girl called him "husband", which made him very uncomfortable.
There were too many people, and Shui Zexi was squeezed several times by them and separated from Dugu Ming. It was Dugu Ming who pulled her closer to her arms and did not let go of her hands at all.
"Hurry up!" This is the most common sentence Dugu Ming said to her in the crowd.
Shui Zexi subconsciously burped into his arms, and he was almost hanging his whole body on him.
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, there were some "ungiven" fans following him, wanting to take a photo with them.
"Stop following, we have a little private space!" Dugu Ming turned around and said to the girls behind him.
The girls couldn't help feeling a little sad when they heard this. In their hearts, Dugu Ming is the kind of person who is more awesome than a domineering president! Why did he give a gift to someone like Shui Zexi?!
"Don't be so fierce! It's not like being a cold male god now. Is it okay to laugh?" Shui Zexi looked at the few people now and helped the girls. "They just want to see their male gods up close, why be so fierce!"
Dugu Ming's face looked even more ugly now, and it was as dark as the bottom of the pot.
"Is there anyone like you? You have to arch out your own people?" Dugu Ming got angry and directly blocked his little fans and "speaked" Shui Zexi.
"Well, stop arguing, it's our fault..." Seeing the couple quarreling so lovingly, the people next to them felt embarrassed.
"God, can't you talk well? I'll tell you, why are you scolding me?!" Shui Zexi changed his appearance as a weak woman just now and yelled at Dugu Ming.
"..." People around: What the hell is this?
"Isn't it just for you to show me? Is it so difficult? Also, what's wrong with someone asking you to take a photo? Are you eating less or losing a piece of meat?" Shui Zexi hurt him and did not give him any face.
"That's right! I'm finally willing to take care of me." Shui Zexi thought he would storm, but she didn't expect that this person would look at her with a smile and kiss her on her forehead.
The little fans around were collectively stunned: These two people’s way of showing off their dog food is so special!
"Then, give me some face and take a photo." Shui Zexi pointed at the girls who had not yet dispersed.
Dugu Ming didn't care about them anymore, Shui Zexi would do whatever he wanted. At least, this girl was concerned about him and wanted to take care of him, but the feeling of panic in his heart disappeared.
"Are we really okay?" Shui Zexi was sure, and they couldn't believe it.
"Yes, but if you want to take a photo, you have to hurry up. I want to go to the mansion next to you." Shui Zexi said in the front. Even if they want to leave first, they will not "offend" these little fans.
"Okay!" The girls were very grateful to Shui Zexi after satisfying their wishes.
A group of people stood by their side quickly and found a tourist to take a group photo for them.
...
"I'm finally done. Now let's go to the mansion you mentioned to see if it's as beautiful as the Luo family's mansion." Dugu Ming held Shui Zexi's hand and the two walked under the shade of the tree.
This area is a relatively narrow road, without the hustle and bustle of big cities, only the pleasant colors of the Jiangnan water town.
After walking not far, I arrived at the door of the mansion.
There are a little more people than in the morning. There are many people posing there in the corridor, including those like Shui Zexi's studio. After dressing up, they just want to leave a beautiful figure here.
Shui Zexi just dressed up normally, wearing Hanfu, with a flower hairpin on her black head, and her outfit was very simple.
"Why don't you bring me the set you gave me to you?" Dugu Ming looked at the small flower hairpin on her head and touched her dark head.
"I don't want to suffer with such heavy decorations..." Shui Zexi was very straightforward. The jadeites have very good textures, full green color, and there is no impurities in them.
Dugu Ming smiled. Thinking of the day they got married, Shui Zexi was full of decorations and putting herself in her shoes, she was really tired!
"I specially selected the ornaments made of the best materials, but I was disliked by this girl..." Dugu Ming's heart was collapsed.
"In the future, you don't have to give me these valuable things. I will buy what I want myself. If I can't buy it, I can do it." Shui Zexi said calmly.
The two of them were walking side by side in the yard, with people coming and going, without the leisure time at the Luo family.
There are many people who recognize them, and even more people who want to take a photo. There are many children here who are brought to play by their parents during the weekend.
The cute child tied two pigtails and pulled Dugu Ming's hem: "Brother, your clothes are so beautiful!"
Shui Zexi likes children very much. She once thought about giving her children a carefree life in the future and giving everything she didn’t have when she was a child to her children.
"Little sister, the big brother's clothes are made by this big sister around you." Dugu Ming was on the ground and said to the child with a smile.
"The big sister's clothes are also very beautiful! I want my mother to buy them for me too!" What the children said was all the thoughts in their hearts. In their eyes, what is beautiful is beautiful, and what is on the surface is what they see first.
Dugu Ming gently pinched the child's face and said happily: "What a good vision!"
"Big sister, you are so beautiful, I like you!" The child walked to Shui Zexi, looked up at her, and showed a bright smile.
"Little sister is so good, where are your parents?" Shui Zexi asked when she noticed that there was no adult around the child.
"Mom and Dad are there." The child was very well-behaved and pointed his hand back. It happened to be a couple, looking at them.
"Go back to your parents quickly, don't run around!" Shui Zexi patted the child's shoulder and asked her to go back to find her parents.
"Okay!" The child jumped back, came to his parents, and waved at them.
Shui Zexi also waved at her.
In the evening, fewer people in the mansion were coming to the river.
"Let's buy lanterns while there is still some time now!" Dugu Ming was still thinking about this.
"Okay." Shui Zexi followed him obediently.
As night fell, no longer the sunlight, the surroundings became a little cold. Shui Zexi tidied up her clothes, wanting to warm herself up.
There were many people by the river, standing in groups of three or five, waiting for eight o'clock to go and put on the lanterns.
Shui Zexi bought three lanterns, Dugu Ming bought two, and was standing in line at the lighting place. Everyone was queuing up consciously, and no one was rushing to each other.
Shui Zexi looked at him and smiled calmly. He said, "I thought the eldest master of the Dugu family had nothing to do. It turned out that there were people who needed to make a wish."
"If you don't help me make a wish, I can only make a wish myself!" Dugu Ming "holds a grudge" and directly criticized her.
Shui Zexi was so amazed that she jumped on the pit she dug.
When the time comes, the crowd moves forward, puts the lanterns in their hands into the water, and then floats away. Following the water flow, slowly drifting downstream.
Shui Zexi put the lantern in the water, folded his hands together, and made his wish piously. She was "greedy" and made a wish for Old Lady Dugu and Old Lady Luo, and also for Jin Ling and Mu Qi and others, and finally her friends.
Dugu Ming made a wish for himself and Liu Shiyu: I hope Liu Shiyu can find her true destiny soon! He wants to stay with Shui Zexi forever and promise her a lifetime of love...
