At the night of the rites celebration in Koi Tower,


A lot of people gathered from different sects wearing their splendid and shining robes, flaunting elegance.



I sat on a single table beside SiZhui who is busy greeting and back to every person who would express courtesy to him.

He is like HanGuang-Jun, just a lot more radiant since HanGuang-Jun rarely smile. Oh! I just realized SiZhui's vibes is likely a lot with ZeWu-Jun.

Wearing a gentle smile, well-mannered and courteous.



I never realized that I keep on staring at SiZhui that someone has already tapped ny shoulder until,



" Lan JingYi!"

I startled and reeled,



" Oh? What? "



" Won't Lan SiZhui melt already? You keep on staring at him."



" What?! No! I'm not! "



Jin Ling just glared at me then put another cup of ----- what's that?


" What is that cup? Is it alcohol?"



" Yeah. It's a wine gifted from the Qinghe Sect, I just want you guys to try it. Well, I'm actually being commanded to share it with everyone or else I won't make way here! Hmmp! "
He expressed annoyingly,


" Really... My bad but I'll pass. I'm afraid I'll get drunk. "
I neglected,

" What? That's just one cup! You wont be drank from just that."


" Although this is a celebration and as a respect for you to drink this wine yet I don't want to. I'm sorry Jin Ling."
I expressed apologetically,



I've had enough of alcohols... of being drunk.



" Really... then------"
Jin Ling with a glint of disappointment said until a hand reach for the cup,


" I'll drink it. Thank you Sect Leader Jin. "
SiZhui formally expressed as he downed the cup,



" SiZhui! You.... are you ok?"
I asked him,


" That is only one cup JingYi. I'm fine."
He assured me.

Until the Elders expressed for a toast for everyone and announce that all of us should head for the finale of the rites,



" Ah! Its time. Let's go to the Golden bridge and light the lanterns. "
Jin Ling invited us then we stood up and head then,



The three us walk together in heading out as I suddenly tugged Jin Ling's robes lightly,



" Jin Ling, does the lanterns have different color? "
I whispered as we are walking,



" They're all white. What are you expecting?"




" Well, I'm expecting for a rainbow though."



" Are you stupid?"



" What!? You're the one that's stupid Jin Ling-----!"


" JingYi. Quiet down."
SiZhui interrupted us,


" But I won't allow him call me stupid!"


" C'mon you are indeed stupid though"
Jin Ling retorted mockingly,



I was about to reply when a young disciple wearing jade robes chuckled at us then expressed smilingly,



" Sect Leader Jin, You must be very close with that young GusuLan disciple, I heard that you teamed up a lot with a Lan disciple when you do nighthunts before, is that him?"


That was just coincidence, Jin Ling and I only met by accident on nighthunts, we never meant to team up in the first place though we would end up like that.



" Ah yes. This is him. "
Jin Ling answered directly,


" Is it true?"
SiZhui suddenly asked in a low tone.


" Y-yes. But we only met by coincidence. And it's not as always."
I answered to him as he nodded in reply,



" Sect Leader Jin, it must have been hard to spend the night in the wilds with only the both of you! Shouldn't you go with a lot of groups and not only with a pair?"
The young disciple subtly said again,

What is he implying?



I'm having a bad feeling about it...

I looked at SiZhui and found he is only looking sternly at the young disciple,


We had reached the Golden bridge and a lot of people had started to light the lanterns,


Damn. I want to stay away from this sharp-tongue disciple. Tsk!




And so, I get a lantern and offered it to Jin Ling to have him hurry,

" Eh--!"

Jin Ling surprisingly exclaimed,



What's wrong?



" Oh, Sect Leader Jin will share the lantern with his closest one, then can we pair up to share the lantern? Pardon for late introductions, my humble name is Shuo YuXuan. "
I reeled to the young disciple introducing himself to Sizhui,

What is he saying!? Aren't we'll get each one?!



" Aren't you listening awhile at the hall?! Lighting of the lantern will be share by two people!"

Jin Ling explained,




God. I didn't heard it or else I won't offer Jin Ling a lantern.


" It's fine for me not to light a lantern now since the Sect leaders have done it last night in advance."
Jin Ling added ,


Is that so,

I turned to SiZhui and to that Shou YuXuan, was about to call out SiZhui yet,


" Sure. And my humble name is Lan SiZhui. "
SiZhui gently expressed with a smile,

And they start lighting the lantern and walk away from us to have the lantern be settle to the river to flow away.



To see him with someone else,
Something within me starts to throb.


SiZhui.......
