An Impossible to Reject Confession - Chapter 14

    Qiao Mu followed behind Xu Youyou and squeezed into one place after another where you could win lanterns, but before they took a lot of time to take pictures, at this time, the easier games were basically over. The rest are more difficult games. If you can’t win the game, you can only spend money to buy lanterns. Two hundred yuan for a lantern is beautiful, but it is indeed a bit expensive.

      Whoever comes out to visit the lantern festival is not a lively person, whether the game can be cleared is second, and the sense of participation is the most important. As long as she can be ranked in, that game that requires 91 rings to shoot ten times, she feels that she is still somewhat confident.

    “You have to play this game. According to the current number of people, it will take about an hour to reach you.” Qiao Mu estimated the queue time based on his own observations.

    “Forget it, it’s half past ten, and it will be over until my Mid-Autumn Festival.” Xu Youyou said.

    Qiao Mu didn’t speak, he didn’t think it was very interesting.

    “I’m going to buy a lantern. After I make a wish, I go to eat in front of me. After running all night, I’m hungry.” Xu Youyou is a decisive character. decided to buy it. Anyway, the ancient town is Ms. Ji’s hometown, and it will be hers in the future. Spending money for the ancient town can be regarded as building a hometown.

      There seems to be a stall there too, with a lantern hanging on it, the octagonal one is very pretty.

    “What is that?” Xu Youyou asked curiously.

    Qiao Mu looked at the sound, his dark eyes sank, and he did not speak.

    “That’s the Shibadan Go booth.” The lantern seller was a middle-aged uncle in Hanfu, who enthusiastically introduced Xu Youyou. In this Mid-Autumn Festival event, almost all the staff of the organizer are dressed in ancient style.

    “I know this, eight dan is the rank of Go.” Xu Youyou has a little knowledge of Go during this time, and knows that dan is the level of Go, and the higher the rank, the stronger the chess. .

    “Little girl knows Go?”

    “I know a little bit, by the way, who is Shibadan? Is it from Hongluo Town?” Xu Youyou asked.

    “Shibadan is a famous person in our Hongluo Town. He is a very powerful professional Go player. When he was young, he represented the country to compete. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, the town mayor will alone Leave him a booth with the best lantern in the entire ancient town, but few people can win it.” The uncle had a proud expression on his face.

    “Will there be tourists?” There are not many people who can play Go now. It is estimated that few tourists will like to put Go on the lantern festival as a game project.

    “Of course there is, this is a big business card of our ancient town.” The uncle said proudly, “There are many people in China who love Go, but there are very few professional players. There are even fewer such activities in our ancient town. So every year, many amateurs come to solve the problem, and even bring their own children, trying to pass the problem and become a teacher.”

    Can I still be a teacher? No wonder there are so many students from the Red Spiral Field surrounded by this idea.

    Xu Youyou pondered for a while, then turned her head to stare at Qiaomu, with a flattering smile on her face.

    Qiao Mu knew what she meant at a glance, and without waiting for Xu Youyou to speak, she refused directly: “No.”

    “I haven’t said anything yet.” Xu Youyou said sullenly.

    Qiao Mu frowned: “I won’t go anyway.”

    Xu Youyou looked at Arbor for a while, then turned around and ran away.

    Qiao Mu watched Xu Youyou run to the Go booth, and squeezed in flexibly, full of puzzlement.

    She doesn’t know Go, so what is she doing?

    “Classmate, do you know Go?” The uncle happily looked at the boy who was thrown on the spot by the girl.

    “Huh? Hmm.” Qiao Mu nodded hesitantly.

    “Then why don’t you go, your little girlfriend is angry.”

    “She is my classmate, not…that.” Qiao Mu hurriedly explained.

    “Yeah, you can’t catch up.” The uncle shook his head regretfully, what a beautiful girl, this little classmate is really stupid and cruel, “Everyone is angry, you don’t Going to chase, don’t know how to coax?”

    Qiao Mu stood there awkwardly and wanted to leave, but was afraid that Xu Youyou would not be able to find him when he came back.

    “Boss, give me a lantern.” After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Mu asked the boss to buy a lantern.

    “Are you enlightened? There is still help.” The uncle looked relieved.

    “…” arbor.

    The uncle handed the lantern to Qiaomu: “There is a pen and paper next to you, you can write your wishes, take it over to the wishing tree, and someone will help you hang it.”

    “Thank you.” Qiaomu was holding the lantern and was hesitating whether to call Xu Youyou, when Xu Youyou suddenly squeezed out again, and was running towards him quickly come over.

    “Hey, did you buy a lantern?” Xu Youyou looked at the lantern in Qiao Mu’s hand in surprise.

    “You can hang it.” Qiao Mu said awkwardly.

    He was by no means coaxing Xu Youyou, nor did he think there was anything wrong with rejecting Xu Youyou just now, he just thought they were at the same table, and the relationship should not be too rigid.

    “I don’t want this.” Xu Youyou refused.

    Qiao Mu’s eyes darkened, the embarrassment and awkwardness receded, and the embarrassment quietly grew.

    “You keep this lantern and make a wish. I want that octagonal lantern. Help me solve this life-and-death problem.” Checkerboard photo for Arbor.

    Qiao Mu didn’t have time to hide, the chessboard fell straight into his eyes, instinctively, the brain began to think.

    After about ten seconds, Qiao Mu came back to his senses, pushed Xu Youyou’s hand away, and said in a sullen voice, “I said, I won’t go.”

      road.

    Qiao Mu was dumbfounded, and for a while there was no reason to refuse.

    “Come on, the time limit for this question is only 20 minutes, it was already five minutes when I passed by, and there are fifteen, no, it is now thirteen minutes, they will change the question That’s it.” Xu Youyou clasped her palms together and said softly, “Please, please, just this one, if I can’t untie it, I will buy a lantern myself.”

    Arbor is still struggling.

    “Hey, I specially accompany you to go out to the lantern festival, can you help me?”

    “You specially? Obviously…” Qiao Mu was startled, as if thinking of something, and suddenly fell silent.

    Xu Youyou seemed to be really reluctant to see Qiaomu, and didn’t want to force it. When he was about to give up, Qiaomu’s hand suddenly stretched out: “Give it to me.”

    Xu Youyou’s eyes lit up, she unlocked it immediately, handed the phone over, and said the time: “Twelve minutes left.”

    Qiao Mu did not speak, just lowered his head and began to think about the life-and-death question on his mobile phone. After about five or six minutes, Qiao Mu raised his hand and turned on the editing function in the camera. After an operation, he returned the phone to Xu Youyou.

    Xu Youyou took a look and found that there were three more moves on the photo she just took, and the colors and steps were marked.

    “Wait for me, I’ll win the lantern.” Xu Youyou didn’t delay for a second, turned around and ran excitedly, like a nimble fish, nimbly burrowed in again.

    I haven’t tried it yet, so how do I know I must have it right. Qiao Mu pondered for a while, and couldn’t help but hook his lips.

    After a while, there was an exclamation from the direction of the Go booth, and after a while, a girl with an octagonal palace lantern came out from the separated crowd. As the girl walked towards him, she waved her hands excitedly, her whole body and even her hair seemed to be filled with excitement and joy.

    “Let’s go, you can write wishes over there.” Qiao Mu waited for Xu Youyou to approach, and took her to the place where the pen and paper were placed.

    The two took a ribbon, picked a pen of their favorite color, and prepared to write.

    Qiao Mu didn’t plan to make a wish at first, but suddenly she wanted to write a wish, and she didn’t know what to write for a while. However, Xu Youyou had already thought about it for a long time, so he buried himself in writing, and wrote it carefully for a while.

    The wish was meant to be hung for people to see, Xu Youyou didn’t hide it, and Qiao Mu glanced at it and saw the content.

    【May Ms. Ji’s second spring come soon. 】

    Qiao Mu was stunned. If I remember correctly, Xu Youyou’s father had just remarried, so she fell ill and returned to China with her mother. Why do you want your mother to remarry now?

    “I’m done, can you understand it?” Xu Youyou showed Qiao Mu the wish she wrote.

    “Yeah.” Qiao Mu couldn’t even pretend he didn’t see it, but he held back his curiosity and didn’t ask any questions.

    “That’s good, I don’t have high requirements, as long as I can understand.” Xu Youyou satisfied.

    “Why don’t you write English?” Qiao Mu has seen Xu Youyou’s English font, which is very beautiful.

    “What if the gods on the wishing tree can’t read English?” Xu Youyou used to be an atheist, but after being reborn, she became revered and convinced of ghosts and gods.

    “Are you serious?” Qiao Mu was surprised.

    “Of course, are you finished?” Xu Youyou looked sideways at his note.

    “I haven’t written it yet.” With that, Qiao Mu lowered his head and started to write his wish. His wish is very simple, with only six words.

    【Grandma, in good health. 】PanPan

    The two hung the note under the lantern, then carried the lantern to the wishing tree together, and handed it over to the specialized staff to help them hang the lantern. The lantern is a special small tube, not a candle, so even if a tree full of lanterns is hung, there is no safety hazard.

    “It’s half past eleven, why do I have to go to school tomorrow.” The Mid-Autumn Festival is a three-day holiday, but the last day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I have to go to school the next day.

    “It will be a holiday in two days.” It will be the National Day.

    “Then I will endure for two more days.” As long as there is hope in the day, the endurance of human beings can be beyond imagination.

    “That…thank you.” Qiao Mu suddenly thanked.

     “Grandma asked you to accompany me to the lantern festival.” Qiao Mu said.

    Obviously, grandma’s dessert was ready in the morning, but in the afternoon Xu Youyou went home to deliver moon cakes, but grandma didn’t return the gift in time, but insisted on going there in the evening to deliver it. Grandma also said that Xu Youyou wanted to find someone to take her to the lantern festival, but in fact Xu Youyou had already asked the girls in the class to take pictures together. Moreover, with Xu Youyou’s character, if she really wanted to help herself, she would mention it herself instead of borrowing from her grandmother.

    So it can only be Xu Youyou, who was specially instructed by grandma knowing that she was in a bad mood.

    “Guess that?”

    “Yeah.” Qiao Mu nodded.

    “So just now you suddenly changed your mind and helped me win the lantern because of this?” Xu Youyou asked.

    “Yeah.” Qiao Mu nodded again.

    “So it’s because of my grandmother, not because you want to help me.” Xu Youyou poked the rice cake in the bowl with a bamboo skewer, disappointed by her self-indulgence.

    “Hey, forget it.” Xu Youyou shook her hand, shaking off the sudden negative emotions.

    Seeing that Xu Youyou was no longer tangled, Qiao Mu was quietly relieved.

    “Right, since you guessed it, there is one more thing, I’ll just say it.” Xu Youyou suddenly said again.

    “What?”

    “Grandma asked me to urge you to lose weight.” Xu Youyou said solemnly.

    Qiao Mu fixedly looked at Xu Youyou for a few seconds, just when Xu Youyou was about to stop, Qiao Mu suddenly pointed to the half-eaten fried rice cake in his hand, and asked the same serious question : “Then do I still eat this rice cake?”

    “Pfft~~” Xu Youyou couldn’t help laughing.

    Qiao Mu also couldn’t hold back, she smiled happily, and the corners of her lips fluttered, revealing two shallow dimples.
