“Tonight is the Moon Elder Gathering. It’s very lively. Let’s go join in the fun,” Qiao Yanhui said. Actually, he didn’t like to go to lively places, but he felt that Xu Qing would like it, especially after staying in for so many days.
Xu Qing’s eyes lit up. “Okay!” She had long heard of the Monthly Elder Meeting. Every year, all unmarried men and women looked forward to it, because many lovers would pray for the Moon Elder’s blessing, hoping to be in love for the rest of their lives! Of course, in order to make the gathering more interesting and for more single men and women to find a partner, many people would wear masks. If they met a fated person, they would go to the Moon Elder Tree and tie a red string together.
But now, this family of people, who weren’t unmarried, happily joined in the fun.
Although the Moon Elder Gathering started at night, the streets were very lively all day. Cars were prohibited on Moon Elder Street, and there was a sea of people. There were all kinds of vendors on the streets, and there were all sorts of things to do.
“Little Hui, how about you put this on?” Xu Qing stood in front of a stall and chose a black half-face mask. She handed it to Qiao Yanhui and took out a white half-face mask. These two masks were a pair.
!!
Qiao Yanhui stood behind Xu Qing. He was carrying a child in each arm and there was a child sitting on his neck. He looked at Xu Qing lovingly and let her choose.
Because it was unusually lively today and it was crowded, in order to prevent the children from being separated by the crowd, Qiao Yanhui had been carrying the three children since he left the house. He didn’t dare to let go, so he naturally didn’t have any extra hands to take the mask from Xu Qing.
Xu Qing thoughtfully helped Qiao Yanhui put on the mask. Although the mask wasn’t expensive, it was very exquisite and there were many complicated patterns on it. Xu Qing couldn’t help but be mesmerized, but she was soon a little dissatisfied. “You’re so good-looking no matter what! This mask doesn’t affect your appearance at all!”
Xu Qing pouted her rosy lips unhappily. Her parted rosy lips were charming and made Qiao Yanhui want to kiss her. Qiao Yanhui’s eyes lit up. If not for the fact that the occasion didn’t allow it, he would have kissed her.
Xu Hanxue, who was riding on Qiao Yanhui’s head, didn’t know what was going on at all. She said in a sweet voice, “Mom, you’re the most beautiful! Dad, don’t you think so?”
Qiao Yanhui nodded. “Little Qing is the prettiest!”
Xu Qing was a little embarrassed by the father and daughter’s praise. She snorted on the surface, but she was very happy inside and blushed again. Qiao Yanhui was really too straightforward in front of the children…
Of course, Xu Qing had praised Qiao Yanhui first.
Xu Hanxue chuckled secretly. Her two brothers also tried to please their only sister. “You’re the prettiest one in our hearts.”
Xu Hanxue smiled even more happily.
The entire family was in a good mood. They ate a lot of snacks and bought a bunch of toys along the way. Xu Qing was the happiest among them all. She seemed even more childish and playful than the three children. The three children couldn’t help but cover their faces in embarrassment.
Only Qiao Yanhui felt that Xu Qing was very cute when she acted like this. He was willing to protect her forever.
As night fell, all sorts of colorful lights appeared on the streets, bringing the Moon Elder Gathering to a climax!
However, at this moment, the entire street was filled with people. It was very likely that they would be squeezed into the crowd in the next second.
“Hold my hand tightly.” Qiao Yanhui’s tone was a little heavy. At that time, it would be easier for those people hiding in the dark to find an opportunity to attack!
“Yes.” Xu Qing also knew that her identity was different now. She was afraid that she would implicate Qiao Yanhui, so she held Qiao Yanhui’s hand tightly and said, “Let’s go to the Moon Elder Tree. Let’s not squeeze through the crowd.”
In fact, Xu Qing had wanted to try it out for amusement. She wanted to put on a mask with Qiao Yanhui and tie the red string. However, if that happened, she would probably be in danger today. Xu Qing didn’t dare to take the risk.
However, Xu Qing clearly underestimated the crowd. It was even more difficult for them to get to the Moon Elder Tree because there were really too many people. Xu Qing and the others couldn’t move at all. Fortunately, Qiao Yanhui had been carrying the three children on his body. Otherwise, the children might have been lost.
“Little Hui, let’s go back.” Xu Qing suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Qiao Yanhui looked around and nodded solemnly. The killing intent nearby was a little strong. Even though there were so many people and it was so festive, it couldn’t be concealed!
