After the meal, it was now past eight oâclock and Yin Shaojie was still nowhere to be seen.
Han Qiqing pulled Song Shijun aside stealthily and whispered, âDo you have any other methods to contact Yin Shaojie? Itâs so late already. Is he really trying to stand Xiaoxiao up?â
They had agreed to release their water lanterns together. It was one thing for Yin Shaojie to not come, but not calling them at all felt a little off.
Based on how importantly Yin Shaojie treated Xiaoxiao, doing this was abnormal.
Song Shijun snuck a peek at Mu Xiaoxiao. âHow do you think Xiaoxiao is feeling right now? Why do I feel as though⦠she seems to be okay?â
Han Qiqing glared at him. âMust she display her unhappiness if sheâs unhappy? Xiaoxiao doesnât want our moods to be affected, so she will of course keep it bottled up in her heart.â
They were all out here for fun. She couldnât sour everyoneâs mood just because of her, right?
Song Shijun thought about it and agreed. âWhat do we do now then? What can we do?â
âLetâs help Xiaoxiao finish making a lantern first. You can make a call to City A and ask if anyone has any news about Yin Shaojie. Iâm afraid⦠heâs gotten himself into trouble.â Han Qiqing voiced her concerns.
âShut your jinxing mouth! Youâre the jinx here!â This time, it was Song Shijun who was glaring at her.
âTell me then, whatâs he so busy with that heâs even ignoring his date with Xiaoxiao?â Han Qiqing couldnât comprehend this.
Releasing their water lanterns was something important that couples did, where they wished to be together forever.
However, now that Yin Shaojie was not coming, wouldnât Xiaoxiao be left alone?
How could they release the water lanterns like this?
Han Qiqing didnât feel like releasing water lanterns now.
Song Shijun sighed and said, âShaojie has a reason for whatever he does. Even if we worry now, thereâs nothing we can do but wait. I personally feel that since heâs already promised Xiaoxiao, he wouldnât stand her up.â
Han Qiqing chuckled coldly and pointed at the time on her phone to him. âLook at what time it is now. If heâs already on the way, he can still arrive before 12 oâclock. However, heâs not on the road right now! It would be meaningless if he arrives tomorrow.â
Today was the last day of the Water Lantern Festival.
Song Shijun didnât know how to explain things to her. âAnyway, I trust Shaojie. Itâs called brotherly trust!â
âScram!â Han Qiqing couldnât argue with him anymore, and aimed a kick towards him.
Han Qiqing walked over to Xiaoxiaoâs side and watched her make her water lantern. She looked serious that Qiqing didnât have the heart to disturb her.
After hesitating for a while, Han Qiqing decided to keep quiet and lowered her head and continued with her own lantern making.
Because Mo Xiaomeng had hurt her hand the night before, Ye Sijue didnât let her make her own, but made two himself.
Song Shijun held up the water lantern he had made and looked around proudly. In a boasting manner, he said, âI didnât realize that not only am I handsome, Iâm also a genius at crafts!â
Han Qiqing made a vomiting expression.
âI think you should write what youâve just said on it as your wish. That way, you might be able to grant this impossible wish.â
Han Qiqing realized that Mu Xiaoxiao was not listening to her as she spoke. Afraid that she was feeling sad, she looked over to see what she was writing.
She saw that Mu Xiaoxiao had written âI wish Yin Shaojie will be blessed with good health and a long life.â
Han Qiqing was stunned. âXiaoxiao, why did youâ¦â
She had written a wish for Yin Shaojie, but not herself.
