Upon hearing their conversation, Mo Xiaomeng looked around the gigantic square. It was a really humongous square that could hold thousands of people.
If thousands of people released Kong Ming Lanternsat the same timeâ¦
She thought about it. That scene would be magnificent!
Ye Sijue looked at her expression. He thought that her slightly opened mouth and her sparkling eyes looked cute and asked, âDo you want to see it?â
Mo Xiaomeng returned to her senses. âSee what?â
âKong Ming Lanterns.â
Mo Xiaomeng understood what he was trying to say and shook her head quickly. âThereâs no need! Actually, we can just buy a few each and release them. It wouldnât be good for the environment if so many people released them, right?â
And it was so expensive!
It would cost tens of thousands of dollars just to release some Kong Ming Lanterns once. It seemed wasteful.
Ye Sijue replied, âReleasing Kong Ming Lanterns does have a little impact on the environment, but since this is a traditional activity here in Nanxiang Old Town, the relevant authorities have set up precautionary measures, so it wonât be a problem. Whatever makes people happy goes.â
Mo Xiaomeng continued to shake her head. She was afraid that if she relented he would really spend money to buy all the Kong Ming Lanterns so that everyone could release them.
It would be a beautiful sight, but she thought about it and decided to pass.
âAish, this square is a little too big, isnât it? Weâve been walking for a while now so why havenât we reached the end?â Han Qiqing complained.
Song Shijun said, âHow can it fit so many people if its not big?â
âCanât I do that? Go away, I donât want to talk to you!â Han Qiqing gave him a disgusted look and even aimed a kick at him so that he wouldnât be able to go near her and Xiaoxiao and could only keep his distance.
Song Shijun looked aggrieved.
With her arm around Xiaoxiaoâs, Han Qiqing took two large steps forward and left him behind.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them, amused.
She suddenly thought of something. Looking at Han Qiqing, she leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, âQiqing, thereâs something that I should have told you. Iâm sorry it took so long for me to.â
âWhat is it?â Han Qiqing blinked and looked at her, puzzled.
Mu Xiaoxiao tightened her hold on her hand and paused before saying, âItâs about Lu Yichenâ¦â
Han Qiqingâs expression underwent a change instantly.
âXiaoxiao, you donât actually have to force yourself. You donât have to tell me about it. Iâm not related to him, and I donât have to know about whatever he does and where he is now,â Han Qiqing was smiling as she said this, but her eyes were trying to hide her pain.
Mu Xiaoxiao said directly, âHeâs gone to America with his mother for her treatment.â
Han Qiqing was shocked. âAh? What happened?â
Mu Xiaoxiao didnât feel like she should talk about Mama Muâs illness, so she only said, âI didnât tell you about this before because I thought that this was between Lu Yichen and I. Later, I called him and asked about it, and he said that I could tell you. Afterwards I tried to find you in school to tell you, but some stuff happened and I let it drag until now. Sorry, Qiqing.â
âOh, so thatâs itâ¦â Han Qiqing smiled at her. âItâs okay, what you did was right. Howâs his mumâs condition right now? Is it serious?â
She had to go to America to treat her illness, so it should be very serious, right?
Mu Xiaoxiao hadnât been contacting Lu Yichen these past few days and thus didnât know the specifics.
âItâs not serious at the moment, so she wouldnât be undergoing an operation so soon. I havenât heard from him recently either. Iâll ask about it in a few days.â
