It's early winter, and my hands are a little cold outside.

Gu Xingzhou let Gu Xingzhou hold the candied haws. If Su Buyue wanted to eat it, he handed it to her to bite into.

The sweet sugar coating is wrapped in sour hawthorn, which makes your mouth full of saliva.

Su Buyue was satisfied with her meal, but saw that Gu Xingzhou hadn't eaten one.

"Don't you want to eat it? Don't you like it?"

Gu Xingzhou said 'hmm', "I don't like sweets very much."

"This one is not sweet. You can skip the sugar coating on the outside and just eat the hawthorn inside."

Su Buyue took his hand holding the candied haws and handed the candied haws to his mouth.

"Try it, it tastes very good."

Gu Xingzhou led her to a less crowded place on the roadside and asked her to stand on the steps with his body in front of her.

His eyelashes lowered and his gaze fell on the corners of her lips.

"You really want me to try?"

Su Buyue: "I'm not forcing you, I just recommend you try it. Eating something sweet appropriately is good for your physical and mental health."

She bit another candied haws and spoke a little vaguely.

"Then I'll try."

He trailed off.

A shadow was cast in front of Su Buyue.

The next second, there was a soft sucking sound in the ear, and the corners of the lips were warm, as if something moist and soft had touched them.

"Yeah, it's quite sweet."

For just a moment, Gu Xingzhou felt the sweet taste on his tongue.

Eyes narrowed slightly.

His eyes fell on her lips, which were slightly parted because of the daze. There was still a candied haws in her mouth that she had just eaten, and she had not had time to bite it into pieces.

He licked his lips lightly, as if thinking about it.

“It’s really good for your physical and mental health.”

Su Buyue said it seriously, but he said it with a charming meaning.

In the ancient street where people were coming and going, he pecked her gently as if there was no one around.

Su Buyue's eyes flickered, and she came to her senses after a while, her cheeks stained with crimson, and the light of the lanterns reflected in her eyes.

She pushed the candied haws in her mouth to one side of her mouth to make it easier to speak.

He raised his hand and hit Gu Xingzhou with an angry look in his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

She lowered her voice and moved closer to him.

Gu Xingzhou grabbed her hand and wrapped it with a smirk on his face.

"Aren't you going to give me a taste? I tasted it."

Su Buyue: "I didn't ask you to do this often, I just..."

She couldn't go on.

"There are so many people here."

"You can't see it, I'm blocking it."

Only then did she understand his purpose in making her stand on the steps while he stood with his back to the street.

His motives were not pure from the beginning!

Su Buyue took her hand away from his, glared at him, chewed the candied haws in her mouth and walked straight back to the ancient street, blending into the crowd.

Gu Xingzhou quickly followed.

"I was wrong."

He said.

Su Buyue: "What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't have kissed you on the street just now."

"Then will you do it again in the future?"

Gu Xingzhou: "..."

Not hearing his answer, Su Buyue turned her head and glared at him angrily.

"Gu Xingzhou, you can find a hotel to stay in tonight."

Only now did Gu Xingzhou panic.

He took three steps at a time and walked to her side.

"I won't do it anymore, and I won't do it anymore, okay? Don't drive me away, Ah Yue."

He begged for mercy in a soft voice.

The two of them were walking among the crowd, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice.

Little did he know that these words made the surrounding tourists sound full of ambiguity, and their eyes changed somewhat when they looked at them.

Fortunately, the lights in the ancient street were not bright. Su Buyue was wearing a veil and Gu Xingzhou was wearing a Zhongshan hat, so they were not recognized.

Just think of it as a young couple who had a conflict over some love affairs.

Su Buyue walked forward quickly, and Gu Xingzhou followed her, never leaving. Her pace gradually slowed down until she reached the river.

Looking up, there are countless river lanterns floating on the river. The candlelight flickers, and you can vaguely see the words on the river lanterns.

That is the wish of everyone who puts up river lanterns.

On the shore, tourists bought river lanterns, wrote their wishes and lit candles. Let the lights float down in the direction of the current, carrying their wishes into the distance.

"Give."

Su Buyue came to her senses and lowered her head.

In front of me is a newly purchased river lantern that has not yet been written on.

She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Xingzhou, "When did you buy it?"

"I saw you wanted to let it go, so I bought it."

Along with the river lantern, he handed her the pen.

“Write whatever you want to write.”

Su Buyue took it and started writing on the stone fence by the river.

[May the oceans and rivers of the great Chu country be clear, and the country be peaceful and the people be safe. 】

Without her and Gu Xingzhou, the Chu Kingdom might fall into disputes and turmoil because the little emperor is still young.

Her only wish is that the little emperor has wise ministers around him, and that the great Chu country has loyal ministers and good generals.

Protect the prosperity of Chu State.

Protect thousands of people from living and working in peace and contentment.

"Will do."

His voice came from the ear.

"don’t worry."

Su Buyue walked to the shore and squatted down.

Carefully place the river lantern on the water.

The rippling river made the river lamp sway unsteadily several times.

Her heart tightened, fearing that it would fall over.

Fortunately, the river lantern finally stabilized and slowly drifted away.

Just like the Great Chu State, there may be temporary turmoil, but it will eventually stabilize.

"Take a look, take a look, I got an intangible cultural heritage handmade fish lantern from the garden party!"

There were shouts not far away, and tourists gathered in that direction.

"Come on, let's go take a look too."

Su Buyue became interested and trotted over. Gu Xingzhou quickly held her hand for fear of being crowded by the crowd.

The two squeezed into the innermost area and saw the garden party that had just been held.

"Isn't that pot throwing? There's also archery!"

At this time, there were tourists taking part, but no one threw into the pot or shot.

Seeing how difficult it was, the onlookers were a little hesitant and did not dare to try.

“Both pot throwing and archery have three chances each. If you hit six times, you will get an intangible cultural heritage handmade fish lantern, which is handmade by our intangible cultural heritage inheritor Master Zhang. Those who win 1-5 times will also get exquisite small gifts. Take it, everyone who is interested can come up and give it a try.”

Su Buyue looked at the several fish lanterns placed on the table nearby. They were beautifully made and lifelike.

"I come."

She took a step forward.

Seeing that someone was finally willing to give it a try, the organizer quickly handed over the arrow.

"Girls just need to stand behind that line. You can't cross this line in pot throwing or archery, otherwise the results will be invalid. There are six opportunities in total, but girls can try once to try out their skills."

Su Buyue's expression was high.

"No, come directly."

The organizer was startled.

Anyone who comes to play this will try it first, practice their hands, find out the feeling, and control the distance and intensity.

This graceful girl actually wanted to come directly.

"Okay, girl, just make your own decision. Since you don't have to try, you can start at any time."

Su Buyue turned the arrow in her hand and looked at the distance from the lower line to the throwing pot.

He moved his hands for a moment, his eyes serious and sharp.

He raised his wrist lightly, and the arrow was suddenly thrown out.

"Clang clang."

There was a crisp sound.

The arrow went into the pot.

"bingo!"

"Throw it in!"

"That's amazing - this is so accurate."

The onlookers, who were holding their breath nervously and unconsciously as they watched her throw the pot, suddenly cheered.
