Warm medicine emits fragrance

Li Chenbi was slightly taken aback. He looked at Fan Liuer, whose expression was serious, unlike her usual flattering and ingratiating demeanor.

Rather, she genuinely felt that the headband suited him well.

Li Chenbi had received countless praises and gifts throughout his life, but only at this moment, this cheapest hairband and these most ordinary words were firmly planted in his heart.

He reached out and took the hairband from Fan Liuer's hand, examining it. The workmanship was only passable, and the material was not expensive.

My chest feels hot.

Seeing that he was staring at the hairband, Fan Liuer was afraid that he would find fault with it, so she took the hairband from his hand, got up and walked behind him, "Let me tie it for you and see."

As she spoke, she began to remove Li Chenbi's hair ornament.

Li Chenbi did not stop her, letting her do whatever she wanted with his head.

A moment later, Fan Liuer clapped her hands, "All done."

Li Chenbi was about to touch it when Fan Liuer stopped him, saying, "I'll show you with a bronze mirror."

Fan Liuer took the bronze mirror from the dressing table and held it up in front of Li Chenbi.

Li Chenbi looked at himself in the mirror. His hair crown had been removed, and half of his hair was gathered behind his head, just like when he was at home. From the front, nothing could be seen.

He turned his head and noticed that Fan Liuer had braided the half of her hair that she had gathered up, with a hair ribbon tied to the end of the braid, hanging down to his lower back.

Fan Liuer leaned closer, and their heads were close together in the bronze mirror. Fan Liuer picked up his braid, and the hair ribbon at the end swayed in the bronze mirror.

"How is it?"

Li Chenbi doesn't usually bother with these kinds of things; he finds them too troublesome.

But looking at Fan Liuer's smiling face in the bronze mirror and her swaying hair ribbon, he was actually in a pretty good mood.

"not bad."

Fan Liuer knew Li Chenbi well, and if she could get a decent evaluation from him, that would be very good.

She was satisfied and let down her braid. "I'm glad you like it. Tomorrow I'll learn a few more styles from Siqing to make the most of this hairband."

After saying that, she sat back down at the table and began to unpack the other things she had bought.

The braid fell to Li Chenbi's chest after she let go. He pinched the end of the hair, looked at the hair ribbon on it, and whispered.

"You said it yourself."

Fan Liuer was so engrossed in the trinkets that she didn't hear Li Chenbi's words clearly. She looked up, about to ask a question, when suddenly firecrackers and deafening cheers came from outside.

The two looked out the window together, and saw dazzling fireworks blooming in the night sky.

This was Fan Liuer's first time watching fireworks. Excited, she rushed to the window and looked up.

At this moment, she didn't care whether others could see her face; she wished she could stick half her body out.

Li Chenbi was quick; he pulled her back and put her veil and hat on before setting her free.

He also told her, "Don't tilt your face too high, or dust will fall down and get into your eyes."

Fan Liuer had no time to answer him; her mind was filled with the breathtaking view outside the window.

The fireworks weren't over yet, and music could be heard coming from below.

She looked down and saw several brightly decorated flower boats swimming on the river, with acrobats performing on them.

Above them were beautiful and dazzling fireworks, and below them were novel and exciting acrobatic performances. Fan Liuer's eyes were so busy that she could hardly keep up, looking up and down every now and then.

After the acrobatic performance on the flower boats, it was immediately followed by dances, swordplay, and other performances, each more spectacular than the last.

After all the performances were over, everyone started releasing lanterns. The boats on the river had been moved away and replaced by all sorts of lanterns.

Lanterns, carrying beautiful hopes and wishes, adorn the river and flow into the distance.

Fan Liuer turned to look at Li Chenbi, blinking her eyes.

Li Chenbi knew what she meant without asking. "I'll take you somewhere else to put it later."

"Where?" Fan Liuer asked curiously.

You'll find out soon enough.

Fan Liuer waited for a long time, so long that she ate a late-night snack at a restaurant, and by the time the pedestrians downstairs had mostly dispersed, and the lanterns on the river had all drifted far away and disappeared from sight.

As the hustle and bustle faded, the entire city began to fall asleep.

Li Chenbi then led Fan Liuer downstairs.

There weren't many people left in the restaurant at this point, and fewer people were watching them.

Fan Liuer followed Li Chenbi out of the restaurant. A carriage was parked in front of the door. Li Chenbi stopped in front of the carriage, and the coachman immediately brought out a footstool and placed it under the carriage.

Li Chenbi went up first, and then reached out his hand to Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer grabbed his hand and, after getting into the carriage, asked, "Aren't we going to release the lanterns?"

Li Chenbi led her into the carriage, sat her on the soft cushion, and pulled her into his arms.

"When have I ever broken my promise?"

That's true, he has never broken his promise. Fan Liuer thought to herself.

Since Li Chenbi wasn't going back to the manor, he must have other plans. Fan Liuer didn't ask any more questions and nestled comfortably in Li Chenbi's arms.

Li Chenbi looked down at her. "Aren't you going to ask me where I'm taking you?"

After playing all night, the excitement wore off, and nestled in Li Chenbi's warm embrace, Fan Liuer started to feel lazy.

Lazy replied, "You must have your own plans, anyway, you're not going to sell me out."

This answer pleased Li Chenbi greatly.

At the same time, there was a sense of helplessness.

Fan Liuer can be infuriating when she's angry, but the occasional sense of trust and dependence she exudes is enough to calm people down.

It makes you love someone to death when you love them, and hate them to death when you hate them.

Li Chenbi looked at the person leaning against his chest. She had her back to him, and at this moment he could only see a small section of the back of her neck.

Staring at that patch of white grease, his teeth itched a little.

The kind of itchy feeling that you can't bear to hit or scold, so you can only vent your anger in another way.

Without thinking, he lowered his head and bit down on the white, sticky substance.

A slight stinging pain jolted Fan Liuer awake. She clutched her neck and turned to look at Li Chenbi with wary eyes.

"you..."

Meeting those dark, deep eyes, beneath which grew an increasingly intense desire.

Fan Liuer swallowed. "I suddenly don't want to release the lanterns anymore. Let's go back."

Li Chenbi slightly raised his lips, "Too late."

Fan Liuer recalled what Li Chenbi had done in the restaurant earlier. He had been somewhat restrained then, but now that it was dark and windy, he would only become more unscrupulous.

When it comes to admitting defeat and ingratiating oneself, Fan Liuer is the best. She immediately wrapped her arms around Li Chenbi's neck and whispered, "Second Master, let's go back. Let's not stay outside."

Li Chenbi realized that Fan Liuer was only most obedient when she sensed danger.

They have absolutely no backbone.

He reached out and pinched Fan Liuer's cheek, saying, "Fan Liuer, if you were captured by the enemy, you would betray them without even being tortured."
