I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 346 Putting out lanterns

It is undeniable that Song Renjing is very outstanding and looks good.

However, his family background and the responsibilities he will shoulder in the future are contrary to the life Gu Fu wanted.

Since it's not suitable, don't leave any hope from the beginning.

Looking at Song Renjing who was looking forward to it, Gu Fu also looked at him seriously and said, "Brother Jing, thank you for showing me your heart so sincerely. I believe in your sincerity.

But I think we are still young and the future is still far away, and no one can guarantee anything about the future.

I have always regarded you as my brother and never thought of anything else.

Besides, I'm just a country girl, and our identities are very different, so we may not be suitable for each other.

I like to live a free and casual life, but you will have to take responsibility for the entire Daxia in the future, so you will have to give up some of your freedom.

As my brother, you can tell me all your joys and sorrows in the future, and I will definitely be the most qualified listener.

If you need help, you can tell us. If I can do it for my family, I believe that grandpa will support you."

Song Renjing felt his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally fell to the ground with a thump.

Hearing the little girl's refusal, he realized that he had actually expected this result.

But he would not give up. He made the right bet this time. The little girl was indeed smart and she understood what he said. So he left a mark in her heart.

"Sister Fu'er, my feelings for you will never change!

I know you are still young and don’t think about it in this way.

You don't need to give me an accurate answer right now. I can wait. Let's leave this issue to time, okay?

I hope you won't push me away because of what I said today. Let's not resist, let time prove the result, and let everything happen naturally, okay?

You just need to know that I like you, and when you want to find a good partner, consider me first, okay?

If by that day, you still don’t like me, or... during this process, you find... someone you like, then I will give up.

But if that day comes and you like me, then we will accept the arrangement of fate and neither of us will escape or cheat, okay?"

Gu Fu looked at the stubborn little boy in front of him and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he couldn't dissuade him from the idea all at once.

But given his status, he will go back one day.

By then we won't meet anymore, and he will be surrounded by powerful people in the city, so his thoughts may change naturally.

Then he smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's leave it to time."

"Okay," Song Renjing got the answer he wanted and looked at the people who were still releasing lanterns. "Sister Fu'er, let's go release lanterns too!"

Gu Fu took a look and although he was also tempted, he hesitated when he thought about the customs Song Renjing mentioned, "But..."

"Don't worry, there are children flying lanterns over there too. It's okay for us to go together." Song Renjing said, holding Gu Fu's hand.

Gu Fu hesitated only for a moment and decided to just do whatever he wanted to do. Why bother about what others thought? He nodded and agreed happily.

The two of them held hands and ran to an old lady who was selling lanterns not far away. "Grandma, please choose a pair of lanterns for us," Song Renjing said happily.

The grandmother selling lanterns was looking at the boys and girls releasing lanterns in the distance with a loving face, recalling her own girlhood.

My eyes were drawn back to the questioning voice in front of me, and what I saw was a pair of beautiful children who looked like a golden boy and a jade girl.

My mother-in-law's first reaction was that the two children were such a good match. Such young children came to buy lanterns by themselves, they must be getting engaged soon. That was great, just like what was sung in the operas, they were childhood sweethearts.

Then she smiled and greeted them, "Ah, oh, who's this little fairy or fairy boy? You two are really the most perfect couple I've ever seen.

You can choose this lotus lantern, which is the most popular. It guarantees that all your wishes will come true and you will have a happy marriage in the future!" The mother-in-law smiled until her eyes narrowed.

Gu Fu realized he was misunderstood and was about to explain, but Song Renjing beat him to it.

Song Renjing pulled Gu Fu and stood half a step in front of him. "Mother-in-law, don't tease me. I'm quite shy. Then let's take the lotus lantern that you recommended."

"Oh, oh! Great, the young master will definitely be a considerate husband in the future." The old lady selling lanterns smiled even more brightly.

He skillfully took lanterns for the two of them, and gave them detailed instructions on how to light the lanterns. He also considerately reminded them to be careful and not to get too close to the water's edge, and then he watched the two of them leave.

Song Renjing was in a happy mood. He took the lamp and left with Gu Fu. He secretly signaled the secret guards to pay and give them rewards.

The secret guard was carrying a lot of bags and a violin case, and he took out a piece of silver from his waist with difficulty. "It's extra. My master gave it to you as a reward."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she couldn't even see her eyes when she laughed, "Young Master is so generous! Young Lady is so lucky!"

The secret guard was speechless for a while. As a spectator of the whole process, he knew how wishful his master was.

Gu Fu walked out of the stall and broke away from Song Renjing's hand, "Brother Jing, you knew that old lady had misunderstood, but you didn't explain. You made her misunderstand even more."

"Sister Fuer, I'm sorry, I think we don't need to explain too much to irrelevant people, what do you think?" Song Renjing was naturally embarrassed to explain his little thoughts at this time, so he had to find a reason to explain.

Gu Fu didn't say anything when he heard this. He just turned around and ignored him. Does Brother Jing think he is stupid?

When Song Renjing saw that the little girl was angry, he quickly walked to the other side of the little girl, lowered his head to glance at the little girl's face, and then hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Sister Fu'er, I expressed my feelings today and I lost control of myself. I made you unhappy.

To be honest, I was very happy when my mother-in-law misunderstood me. I even asked the secret guard to give me a reward. My own selfishness prevailed. I will pay attention in the future and will not embarrass you. Can you forgive your brother once, okay? "Song Renjing said cautiously, looking at Gu Fu's face.

What made Gu Fu angry was that Song Renjing deliberately caused others to misunderstand him and then made excuses for her.

Listening to his sincere explanation at this time, I was amused by his little thoughts.

"Okay, then don't do this next time." Gu Fu said.

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Jing will definitely not do this next time." Song Renjing promised hurriedly. Seeing Gu Fu nod, he said again: "Let's go and light the lanterns!"

"Okay." Gu Fu agreed.

The two followed the mother-in-law's instructions, opened the lotus lanterns, and wrote down their wishes on the lanterns.

Then he carefully placed the lanterns into the water and watched the two lotus lanterns sway and float away into the distance.
