The plot of Quick Wear is always wrong

19

In the alley, the sound of horse hooves was heard slowly and leisurely. Qi Xiu didn't know how to ride a horse, and he only had one, so now the two of them were riding together, with Qi Xiu held in Qin Huai's arms.

Perhaps because what happened just now was a bit sudden, the two of them were silent for a long time after getting on the horse. After walking a short distance forward, Qin Huai lowered his head and whispered an explanation in his ear.

"…I had no choice but to do that…"

His voice was very soft, but it made Qi Xiu's heart jump. For a moment, he felt awkward everywhere. He did not respond, but just tilted his head, and his ears turned red.

"Angry?"

Qin Huai's men used a little force to hold Qi Xiu closer to themselves.

"No...I'm not angry..."

The person in his arms froze for a moment, and tried to distance himself from him, but Qin Huai wouldn't let him. His arms were so tight that he couldn't let him escape at all.

"…But is my brother shy?"

Qin Huai seemed not to notice and said "oh" in a serious manner. There was a smile in his voice. Qi Xiu felt ashamed after hearing what he said and wished he could shut Qin Huai's mouth as soon as possible.

"Don't talk nonsense...don't tease me."

So cute…

Qin Huai laughed again, and then he relaxed a little. He didn't dare to say this. His behavior just now was already bold. Now that his brother was willing to go out with him, he should stop while he was ahead and not scare him...

There was a curfew on the street, and it was not appropriate for him to take Qi Xiu to the crowded main street, so the two of them just took the small path and wandered all the way to the river on the west side of the city.

They stopped at a place on the other side of the river. It was a secluded place with willows on the bank and many lanterns on the opposite side. Qin Huai got off the horse and reached out to hold Qi Xiu down. Someone who came out of nowhere took the reins. Qi Xiu saw that he was very respectful to Qin Huai and kept his head down all the time. He understood what was going on and didn't ask any more questions.

Qin Huai not only took Qi Xiu for a horse ride tonight, he also had someone prepare a boat. The boat was not big, and there were gauze hanging on both sides of the cabin. The boatman was also a man dressed in black, standing alone at the bow. There was also a table and tea inside the boat.

The two men lifted their robes and sat down. The boat moved slowly. With the breeze, Qi Xiu saw spots of light floating on the river not far away, like fireflies.

"Today is the Lantern Festival in the city. Citizens in the city will write their wishes on pieces of paper and hide them under lanterns as a prayer."

Qin Huai saw his curiosity and took out a few lotus-shaped lanterns while explaining. Qi Xiu was a little surprised.

"Where did you get it from?"

Qin Huai was silent. He didn't expect that he would be curious about this question.

"This is a surprise prepared for my brother, so I can't put it where he can see it at a glance."

Qi Xiu laughed and took the one he handed over.

This was also the first time he had seen something like this. The lotus was made very cleverly, as if it were real. There was a short piece of candle wick in the flower cup. He touched the petals with his fingers and blinked.
