Chapter 712: Tuanzi Spotted a Familiar Figure
Feng Huaijin was startled, his earlobes turning slightly red, and he immediately coughed lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"He picked up his chopsticks and started eating a yuanxiao.
The yuanxiao vendor uncle beside them suddenly laughed, heartily saying, "Young man, you’re already married with such a big son, yet you’re still so thin-skinned? Can’t even take a few jokes from your wife?"
Feng Huaijin: "..."
Not a wife.
Not even a girlfriend.
Su Li also felt a bit awkward, giving an embarrassed smile and quickly lowering her head to eat the yuanxiao.
Since they had just finished dinner, the three of them didn’t eat many yuanxiao before leaving the stall.
This was Su Li’s first time attending the Lantern Festival in An City. She had previously participated in the Lantern Festival in Jiang City with Haohao and Xiao Mian, but how could little Jiang City compare to Imperial City An?
Su Li and Feng Huaijin each held one of Tuanzi’s small hands. Su Li was even more amazed than Tuanzi, exclaiming repeatedly, "Wow, this is so beautiful. Is this a rabbit palace lantern? How was it made?"
The shopkeeper chuckled, saying, "Little girl, not only is this lantern eco-friendly, but it’s also completely safe."
Feng Huaijin paid without a word, scanning the code directly and taking it away.
Su Li held the palace lantern, somewhat reluctant to part with it.
Nearby came the sound of excitement, the joyful cries of children, and continuous applause.
Tuanzi looked over curiously, but all he could see was a wall of people, unable to see what was happening ahead.
Su Li was also curious about what was inside, and inevitably wanted to squeeze in to see the excitement.
Feng Huaijin frowned; neither the big one nor the little one could be any less troublesome.
Feng Huaijin released Tuanzi’s hand and instead gently picked up Tuanzi with one hand. His free left arm, adeptly extending, grabbed Su Li, holding her warm small hand, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me, don’t get separated."
Held by him, Su Li’s palm began to sweat. She sneaked a glance at him; his side profile was tense, yet under the lights of the night festival, it appeared gentle.
Whether it was her or Tuanzi, they could both be well cared for by him alone, as if he were an immense presence, giving her an infinite sense of security.
He pulled her in easily, allowing them to see the performance inside.
Tuanzi sat on Feng Huaijin’s strong arm, exclaiming continuously.
Wow, he’s so tall now!
He saw everything clearly, understanding perfectly what was being performed inside.
Su Li seemed to be influenced, clapping and exclaiming with joy along with the performance.
Not far away, a white figure stood in a corner, watching the three figures closely embraced, appearing like a family under the night...
They seemed like a family, surrounded by all the enthusiasm; while he had always been a loner.
Feng Ciye leaned against the cold brick wall, a faint smile gradually forming on his lips.
Once during festivals, Feng Huaijin was the same as him.
No, at least he had grandparents who truly cared for him, while he did not.
Now he truly was left alone, struggling in that cold darkness.
Feng Ciye lowered his long eyelashes, muttering softly, "Is it really that difficult to grasp even just the faint light of a firefly?"
Happiness and joy had always eluded him, as if he was someone abandoned in the darkness by the heavens.
Feng Ciye shook his head with a light laugh, appearing indifferent.
Meanwhile, Tuanzi, sitting on Feng Huaijin’s arm, looked around happily. Suddenly, he turned back and saw a familiar figure...
The little figure shuddered all over!
