Chapter 398 There are so many weird people these days!
Not long after, Changliu saw Ruomu and Lan Zhuochi's group walking out together.
Changliu couldn't help but hide in the dark.
Compared with the lively and warm atmosphere on Ruomu's side, Changliu was like a homeless dog.
I don’t know what Ruomu and the others discussed. Changliu only saw Ruomu and Lan Zhuochi walking west.
The rest of the people went to other places.
Changliu hesitated for a while, but finally caught up with Ruomu.
"Sister, this lotus lantern is so beautiful. Let's buy two and set them off by the river later!"
Lan Zhuochi was holding a finely crafted lotus lantern, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
He rarely attended such earthly festivals, so naturally everything he saw was new to him.
"Okay! If you like it, we'll buy it!"
"Boss, I want these two!"
Ruomu then took out some silver and placed it on the stall. Then he and Lan Zhuochi each took a lotus lantern and went to the next place.
Not long after they left, Changliu also appeared at the stall.
Looking at the lotus lanterns that the two of them had bought, Changliu felt envious and sad, and he subconsciously picked it up.
Seeing that Changliu liked it so much, the boss hurriedly tried to sell it to him.
"Sir, would you like one too? This lotus lantern is the best-selling item today. A young couple just came to buy one!"
After hearing what the boss said, Changliu subconsciously refuted it.
"They're not a couple at all! Didn't you hear that boy calling the other sister?"
"How can you say that? Do you know that this will cause misunderstandings and cause a lot of trouble?"
"Aren't you business people the best at reading people's faces? How come you can't even notice such a small thing?"
Changliu probably didn't even realize that he was angry.
After saying this, Changliu looked at the frightened boss, and only then realized his previous loss of composure, his face looking a little embarrassed.
Then, Changliu hurriedly took out some silver from his pocket and put it on the table.
"I'm sorry, I was a little emotional at the moment."
"Consider these silver coins as apology to you!"
After Changliu finished speaking, he left in a hurry without taking the lotus lantern.
The boss took the money for some reason and couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
"There are so many weirdos these days!"
"Forget it! As long as I can make money!"
"If there were a few more of these suckers tonight, I could close my stall early and go home to sleep."
The boss chuckled twice and took the money. His mood was not affected at all and he continued to shout.
But Changliu was a little depressed.
The other party just said it casually, why did he get so excited?
Has his feelings for Xiaomu reached this point?
He even thinks so much about a casual remark from others.
Changliu shook his head and put his messy thoughts behind him.
Afterwards, Changliu hurriedly searched for Ruomu and Lan Zhuochi among the crowd.
Sure enough, at another stall not far away, Changliu saw Ruomu and Lan Zhuochi.
The two of them seemed to be choosing masks and looked very close.
From a distance, the two really look like a couple!
It’s no wonder that the stall owner said that, it’s just that he has never dared to think about this fact.
As long as his apprentice doesn't admit it, they are just friends.
Changliu couldn't help but take a deep breath, quietly moved closer, and heard the conversation between Ruomu and Lan Zhuochi.
"Sister, this mask is so scary!"
"Should we not use this mask?"
"That little fox mask is so cute, perfect for sis!"
Lan Zhuochi said as he picked up a red fox mask and handed it to Ruomu.
Lan Zhuochi himself took out a tiger mask of the same color.
"If you like them, buy both masks! But I won't wear them."
Ruomu was not very interested in this kind of thing, but since they came out to have fun, they naturally couldn't spoil the fun.
Lan Zhuochi stuck out his tongue when he heard that. Although it was a bit of a pity, he was already very happy that his sister was willing to buy things for him. How could he ask for too much?
"Okay! Then take both masks."
"We'll wear it again when we have the chance!"
"Hey... I seem to smell the aroma of osmanthus cake."
"Let's go over there. There were too many people in the restaurant just now, and I didn't even have enough to eat."
"After buying the osmanthus cake, we'll go release the lotus lanterns. There shouldn't be many people by the river at this time. It's perfect. I'll take my sister to find a good spot!"
Lan Zhuochi chattered away, filling the itinerary to the brim.
Ruomu looked at Lan Zhuochi with a smile, paid the money, and followed Lan Zhuochi.
After hearing Ruomu and Lan Zhuochi's long words, the expression on his face gradually became lonely.
If nothing had changed, the person following Ruomu at this moment should be him.
Ruomu will also arrange everything carefully, and he just needs to follow Ruomu.
But now, he could only watch from afar.
It seems that all the good things about Ruomu were given to another person.
But it was he who didn't cherish it at the beginning. What's the point of saying this now?
Why do people always regret after they lose something?
But he had already hurt Ruomu deeply, and even if he wanted to make amends, Ruomu might not want to.
Changliu was so slow in a moment that he could hardly move forward.
He didn't know if he should follow now.
The more he watched, the more upset he felt, the more regretful he felt, and the more unwilling he became.
Even after Changliu became a mortal, the relationship between him and Ruomu seemed to have eased a lot.
But Changliu knew that Ruomu treated him like this only out of a sense of responsibility, but this did not mean that their relationship would be restored to normal and could go back to the way it was before.
However, Changliu now wants to repair the relationship between him and Ruomu, but he doesn't know where to start.
Just then, a little girl suddenly came over and handed Changliu a piece of cake.
It was exactly the osmanthus cake that Lan Zhuochi and Ruomu had just mentioned.
"Handsome big brother, why are you here alone? Why don't you go to the front and light the lanterns?"
"It's very lively today, don't miss the handsome big brother."
"Oh? Mother is calling me. I have to go back quickly. I can't light the lantern tonight. I'll leave this lantern to my big brother!"
As the little girl spoke, she stuffed the lotus lantern in her hand into Changliu's hand and ran away.
Changliu stared blankly at the cakes and lotus lanterns in his hands. The light that had been extinguished in his heart suddenly lit up again.
Perhaps he should go and take a look, since he also has a light now.
If you really meet Ruomu, he will say that he is here to light lanterns too.
That way, he wouldn't look so pitiful.
He also wouldn't let them find out that he had been following them from beginning to end.
After Changliu made up his mind, he immediately took the lantern and headed towards the bridge.
But I don't know if he came too late.
When the long stream passed, there were almost no people on the bridge, but there were many various lanterns in the water.
But Ruomu and Lan Zhuochi were nowhere to be seen, which instantly extinguished Changliu's hope that had just been ignited.
It seems that he is still a step late!
That's what happened when he first discovered his feelings.
When he wanted to be nice to Ruomu, it happened again.
Now he even missed the chance to light a lantern!
How come he can't do anything right?
