Chapter 244 Lantern
At the same time, Su Ran and Lu Xi were completely unaware of the approaching danger.
During this period, Zhu Yuan put down his official duties and often came over to accompany Tangtang and Lu Xi.
Tangtang has long wanted to go to the lantern festival. Zhu Yuan happened to have time today, so he took Tangtang out, and Lu Xi also went to the lantern festival.
Although you can build an entire lantern festival in a villa, the lively atmosphere where tens of millions of people gather together cannot be created in a villa.
At a young age, Tangtang has already demonstrated her powerful attributes as a social cow. The more people there are, the happier she is.
When children are full of energy, Lu Xi became very tired after running with Tangtang for a while.
Tangtang knew that Mommy couldn't run, so she took the initiative, "Mommy, would you like Uncle Qin to take me to see the lights? You and Uncle Zhu Yuan will follow."
The Uncle Qin Tangtang was talking about was the captain of Zhu Yuan's first guard. He was alert and skilled.
Lu Xi felt relieved about him. She nodded, "Okay, then don't run too far. I will follow you."
"Okay!!"
With Lu Xi's permission, Tangtang immediately flew far away like a flying kite.
Looking at Tangtang’s bouncing back, Lu Xi shook his head helplessly, “It seems I’m getting old, and I don’t know where Tangtang gets so much energy all day long.”
"Not old." Zhu Yuan caught him The emphasis was a bit off. He looked at Lu Xi's side face, his eyes shining brightly under the shadow of the lamp, "You are very young and very beautiful."
No one would refuse a compliment about their beauty, let alone a compliment. It's a compliment from a handsome guy.
Lu Xi smiled with crooked eyes, "Thank you for the compliment."
"What lanterns do you want? Let's go and see it together." Zhu Yuan looked at Lu Xi gently, "I heard from Su Ran, you I can also tie lanterns by myself.”
“Yes.” Speaking of this, Lu Xi’s eyes lit up, “I used to be with Su Ran. When we were in school together, I often set up a stall selling this with her. "
In the past life, during festivals, Su Ran and Lu Xi would go to crowded places to set up stalls and make many beautiful dishes. I make small handicrafts and sell them at a street stall. Because there are always so many people on holidays, I can still make a lot of money in one night.
Lu Xi glanced over and saw a stall not far away that specialized in making homemade lanterns. She pulled Zhu Yuan and ran towards the stall, "Come on, what kind of lanterns do you want?" , I can make one for you too.”
Zhu Yuan's attention was not on the lanterns. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his deep gaze fell on Lu Xi's hand holding his wrist.
Lu Xi was still walking forward, but there were a lot of people, especially when the dragon team came in front. The crowd suddenly became more crowded, and Lu Xi was squeezed by the people next to him and almost fell down.
Zhu Yuan held Lu Xi's hand with his backhand and pulled her towards him, "Be careful."
Zhu Yuan's hand was very warm and he wrapped it around Lu Xi's hand As he stood, Lu Xi subconsciously clenched his hands. Noticing Lu Xi's movements, Zhu Yuan smiled reassuringly at Lu Xi, "There are many people here, I'll take you with me."
"Oh." Lu Xi didn't know what to do. She was in a mess and could only let Zhu Yuan pull her to the stall.
The stall owner was an old man. When he saw the two people coming hand in hand, he naturally thought they were a young couple dating at the lantern festival. He looked at Zhu Yuan and said, "Sir, make a lantern for your girlfriend. Right? There is a tutorial here, it’s very simple.”
Zhu Yuan didn’t correct the old man’s title. He glanced at Lu Xi with a smile, “I’m clumsy. If you don’t like this, let her do it.”
The old man immediately turned to the target customer and said, “Little girl, the lanterns I sell are very effective. You can make a lantern for your boyfriend. He will love you forever."
Under the mask, Lu Xi's face turned a little red. She knew Zhu Yuan was looking at her, so she didn't look up.
She had already promised to make a lantern for Zhu Yuan anyway, and it was not good to go back on her word now. She squatted down and selected the materials for making the lantern, "Then let me make one."
Soon, Lu Xi finished picking out the lanterns. Materials, sitting on the roadside, listening carefully to the old man's tutorial while making the lantern in his hand.
Zhu Yuan said he didn’t know how to do it, but he still took some materials and sat down next to Lu Xi and followed along.
Lu Xi knew how to make it, and with the help of the old man, he quickly made a beautiful lantern.
Since it was given to Zhu Yuan, Lu Xi also used a pen to draw a few tall bamboos on the lampshade.
"The little girl is so skillful with her hands." The old man praised Lu Xi, "There is a special place for placing lanterns under the bridge over there. You two can go there to put the lanterns."
"Okay, thank you."< br>
Lu Xi and Zhu Yuan took the lanterns and went under the bridge that the old man said. Many lanterns had been placed there. At this time, the shadows of the lanterns were swaying on the lake, like stars pouring into the water.
“This is for you.” Lu Xi handed the bamboo lantern to Zhu Yuan, “You can put it down.”
“Okay.” Zhu Yuan nodded and put the lantern in his hand. He handed the lantern he made to Lu Xi, a little surprised, "I'm sorry, it's not as exquisite as yours, but it's still a thoughtful gesture, why don't we put it together?"
"Okay."
Probably because they were reassured about the captain of the guard, the two of them placed lanterns here and did not go to find Tangtang.
The captain of the guard is indeed reliable. He follows Tangtang every step of the way and isolates all strangers who want to get close to Tangtang.
But she couldn't stop Tangtang from running towards the stranger.
“Uncle Ye!!”
