Chapter 100 The Untamed 43
Ling Xi was on the same boat with Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji, and witnessed with her own eyes how her younger brother teased Lan Wangji in Gusu dialect, which could be considered a tease.
Ling Xi couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. As expected, it was no wonder that Lan Wangji fell in love with Aying. If someone spoke to her like this, she would also suspect whether that person had any ulterior motives towards her.
When Wei Ying went to talk to someone else, Ling Xi heard Lan Xichen ask Lan Wangji: "You want to eat loquats, do you want to buy a basket to take back?"
Lan Wangji walked away: "I don't want to!"
Then he stood on another boat.
Ling Xi: “.”
How on earth could she tell what Lan Wangji was thinking? She always looked at Lan Wangji with that cold expression, which never changed at all.
As if sensing Ling Xi's gaze, Lan Xichen looked at her with a smile: "Ah Xi, are you looking at me to tell me something? Or is there something you want to buy?"
Ling Xi shook her head and looked at Lan Xichen as if he were a rare animal, her eyes filled with confusion and surprise: "How did you know what Second Young Master Lan was thinking?"
There must be a reason for the brother-reading machine.
Lan Xichen laughed and said, “Maybe it’s because we are connected by blood.”
Ling Xi was thoughtful: "Sometimes I can tell what Ah Ying is thinking, but he is different from Second Young Master Lan. Whatever he thinks is directly revealed on his face, so it is easy to understand."
Lan Xichen turned his head and glanced at Wei Ying, who was smiling brightly. He was silent for a moment and said, "I think it's good that Young Master Wei is like this. Wangji does talk less sometimes."
Ling Xi held her face with a hint of disgust on her face, but still with a smile on her face: "I think Ah Ying is a bit too talkative sometimes. He and Second Young Master Lan have complementary personalities."
Lan Xichen nodded in agreement: “That’s true.”
The group returned to the Cloud Recesses.
The days of study passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the three months were about to be over.
As for how Wei Ying provoked Lan Wangji during this period, Ling Xi didn't pay much attention. In short, she found that Lan Wangji's attitude towards his younger brother was getting better and better, which showed that the effect was quite good.
The last day of the class is the day for lighting lanterns and praying for blessings.
On this day every year, students would light a lantern on the top of the mountain in the hope that their wishes would come true.
As a result, all the students who attended the class were very interested in making lanterns by themselves.
However, most of the students are from wealthy families, and their hands-on ability is really worrying.
Ling Xi and Lan Xichen were together, each holding an unfinished lantern.
Ling Xi showed the lantern she had drawn to Lan Xichen, smiling broadly: "Lan Xichen, look, is it beautiful?"
Lan Xichen looked up and saw two white rabbits painted on the white rice paper. Only the eyes were highlighted in red, making them look lifelike.
What is even more eye-catching is that one of the rabbits is white and tender, but it wears a headband with a white background and blue cloud pattern. Its pair of eyes makes people feel that the rabbit is very innocent and cute.
Ling Xi drew this rabbit completely based on Lan Xichen’s image, so she wanted to see if Lan Xichen could feel a similar feeling.
Lan Xichen didn’t notice anything. He just thought that she was drawing the rabbits that Senior Lan Yi left for her and were now kept in the back mountain of the Lan family. He smiled gently and said, “Ah Xi, do you like the rabbits that Senior Lan Yi gave you?”
Ling Xi was speechless. Although this man had gained a lot of experience at the foot of the mountain and his mind had grown a lot, he was still quite naive sometimes.
Ling Xi thought of the furry group, and her heart softened. She nodded: "They are indeed very cute."
The two smiled at each other, and a wonderful and ambiguous atmosphere lingered around them.
Handsome men and beautiful women, talented men and beautiful women, are naturally eye-catching in the eyes of others. Of course, they are not the only couples present.
Nie Mingjue came all the way from Qinghe just to accompany Wen Qing to light lanterns on this day. The atmosphere was very sweet when the young lovers were together. The man was tall and mighty, but when he was with the woman, he restrained all his fierceness and became very gentle. The woman was beautiful and charming, and she smiled at the man. There was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere between the two of them.
For some reason, Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan also got together to make lanterns, but they didn't talk to each other. Although they were a little shy, it didn't seem boring.
Xue Yang, Meng Yao and Wen Ning squatted together. Xue Yang was a clumsy person and Wen Ning's work was just barely enough. Thanks to the all-round talent Meng Yao, otherwise the two of them would not have been able to make this lantern today.
Wei Ying squatted beside Lan Wangji, looking at his elder sister and Zewu-Jun who were half-squatting together not far away, feeling unhappy.
He felt that his elder sister was going to belong to someone else.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Lan Wangji with resentment.
Lan Wangji looked at him indifferently with his light-colored glass eyes, not understanding what was going on.
However, dissatisfaction came and went quickly. In just a few moments, Wei Ying smiled and said to Lan Wangji: "Lan Zhan, we have been classmates for several months after all. Let's light a lantern together."
Lan Wangji refused: "I'm used to being alone."
Wei Ying tilted his head, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Habits can be changed. Besides, this lamp is specially made for Second Young Master Lan. Look."
Lan Wangji took a look and saw a rabbit on the paper. Soft feelings emerged in his heart and the corners of his lips raised slightly in a faint smile.
Wei Ying saw him smile, it was like sunshine reflecting on snow, and he couldn't help but stare at him in amazement.
He was pleasantly surprised: "Lan Zhan, you smiled."
Lan Wangji's face turned pale, the tips of his ears turned red, and he was about to pick up the sword.
Wei Ying was frightened by his action and took two steps back, but he stepped on the lantern that Nie Huaisang had already made. The fire in the lantern ignited the paper, and the whole lantern caught fire.
Nie Huaisang made a bitter face and wailed, "Brother Wei, my lamp is the best among all the lamps. You just burn it because you want me to."
Wei Ying touched his nose embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Nie, otherwise, I will compensate you with one, or if you want something, I will also compensate you with it?"
Nie Huaisang thought about it and said, "That's fine."
There are so many treasures in Duobao Pavilion. It’s worth exchanging a lantern for a treasure.
When everyone's lanterns were made, dozens of lanterns painted in different styles were released at the same time, rising slowly in the air, like bright stars, twinkling, flying freely carrying the students' wishes.
After Ling Xi and Lan Xichen finished making the lanterns, they found a quiet place to release them. However, Ling Xi did not make a wish like the others did. He just watched the lanterns fly away quietly.
Lan Xichen looked at Ling Xi's exquisite and beautiful profile and asked, "Why didn't Xi make a wish?"
Ling Xi's eyes were clear and bright. "I don't believe in these things. Whatever I want, I will achieve it by myself. I don't need to pray. What about you?"
Lan Xichen's eyes darkened as he looked at Ling Xi with a gentle and warm gaze. He smiled gently and said, "I no longer have any expectations for the past. I only have one wish for the future."
May I be like a star, like a moon, night and night.
Being looked at like this by Lan Xichen, Ling Xi felt as if there was infinite affection in his eyes, and the tips of her ears suddenly felt hot, as if they were on fire, burning hot.
My heart was beating so fast in my chest.
