Chapter 174 He didn't want her to be afraid of him, and he didn't want her to lie to him

Chujiu occasionally showed a hint of helplessness towards Zhuohua who was walking on the other side of Mo Xinglan. Zhuohua would always find opportunities to stay by the side of the black-hearted evildoer.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zhuohua who was walking happily on the other side of Mo Xinglan.

Should she help him? But, wouldn't that make the evil-hearted demon angry? And does Zhuohua, with his single-minded mind, know what love is?

"Oops!" Just when I was thinking about the key point, my vision suddenly went dark.

He raised his hand to remove the hand that covered his eyes tightly, and looked up at the owner of the hand angrily: "Why are you blocking my eyes? Don't you know it's dangerous? I can't see the road, what if I fall?"

Mo Xinglan sneered and looked at her with narrowed eyes: "The Lu you mentioned is Zhuohua?"

"what?"

She looked at him in confusion for a long while before she realized what he meant.

He turned around and looked at the road ahead seriously, pouting and muttering, "You are the most injured, humph, you stingy guy."

"Boom!"

"Ouch!"

There was a muffled sound followed by Chujiu's scream.

Chu Furong and the other person who were walking in front thought something had happened and turned back to check the situation. Finding nothing was wrong, Chu Furong smiled and continued to walk forward.

Chujiu held his head, which was hurt by Mo Xinglan's knuckles, in his hands, and trotted over to him and glared at him angrily: "Knock, knock, knock, why do you always like to knock my head? What if you knock me stupid?"

Unexpectedly, he laughed and said, "It would be better if you knock him silly."

If you knock her silly, will she be obedient?

"You..." Forget it. A good woman shouldn't fight with a man.

Zhuohua was very smart this time and did not speak for either of them, because based on his previous experience, no matter who he helped, he would be the one who suffered in the end. So this time he did not help anyone and minimized his presence to avoid being accidentally hurt.

After saying that, he touched his head which no longer hurt, turned around cursing, and walked forward on his own.

"..."

Looking at the back of the girl in front of him, Mo Xinglan retracted the corners of his lips that were raised. He then glanced coldly at Zhuo Hua beside him and continued walking forward.

"?!"

Zhuohua shuddered and hesitated for a long time before following.

He didn't say anything, what did he do?

Woo...he feels wronged.

After they walked for a while, more people came and the surroundings began to become brighter.

Chujiu was afraid that she might bump into Mo Xinglan accidentally because of the crowd, so she ran back to Mo Xinglan and hugged his arm. She happened to walk between him and Zhuohua.

Zhuohua made room for an empty seat, then took a few quick steps and went around from behind the two of them to the other side of Mo Xinglan.

Seeing Zhuohua's behavior, Chujiu was puzzled for a moment. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he became playful. He cleared his throat, put on a look of wanting to say something but not saying it, and asked: "Zhuohua..."

"Ah?" Zhuohua looked at Chujiu in confusion.

Mo Xinglan narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

Chujiu looked at the road and said as if teasing a child: "Is there something about me that makes you have to avoid me?"

After hearing this, Mo Xinglan tightened his hands hanging by his side, pursed his lips, and turned back to look at the road ahead.

"Ah? What? No." Zhuohua answered in confusion.

"Oh, so, you hate me?" Chujiu continued to ask without noticing.

Zhuohua panicked now: "No, no, no, I don't hate my sister. Really, really."

Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he repeatedly emphasized that he didn't hate her.

"Oh, then you..." Chujiu wanted to continue, but found that the person next to him suddenly stopped, so he looked up at him in confusion, "Eh? Why don't you leave?"

"We're here." He looked at the stall a few steps ahead and spoke coldly.

"Ah? Oh." Chujiu answered carefully.

Is he angry again?

Well, the black-hearted demon is just a jealous person. She hasn't really said that she likes him yet, but he is like this. If she really says that she likes him in the future...

Thinking of this, her body suddenly stiffened and she stared blankly ahead.

But she wants to go home, she can't fall in love. If she falls in love, she can't go back. She can't...

While Chujiu was stunned, Mo Xinglan's reaction made Zhuohua, who always had a low sense of danger, tremble in his heart. He subconsciously kept a distance from him and quietly moved to Chu Furong's side.

He thought it was not a good idea to travel tonight.

Chujiu came back to his senses and felt the air suddenly get colder. He looked at Mo Xinglan beside him cautiously. Seeing Zhuohua running away, he also wanted to find an excuse to stay away from him.

The black-hearted demon was in a bad temper tonight, and a black-hearted demon with a bad temper was particularly dangerous. In order to avoid hurting an innocent person like her, she thought it would be better to find an excuse to stay away from him.

The hands that were holding his arms loosened carefully, and with a smile on her face, she moved towards Chu Furong: "I, I'll go over to see too... eh?!"

Before she could finish her sentence, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him.

"Are you afraid of me? Huh?" He looked down at her with a cold face.

She glanced at her wrist that he was holding tightly, then looked up at him pitifully, pouting her lips and nodded: "Yeah, it's really scary."

"..." Mo Xinglan didn't expect that she would actually admit it, and admitted it with an aggrieved look on her face.

The anger in my heart gradually subsided.

He didn't want her to be afraid of him, and he didn't want her to lie to him.

"Do I look scary? Do I scare you?"

She frowned and nodded with a wronged look on her face: "Yeah, it's really scary."

"..." This was his unexpected answer. He stared at her blankly for several breaths.

The triumphant girl chuckled: "I was kidding. If you are considered scary looking like this, then no one in the world can look at you?"

He stroked his face again, worried: "Then I won't dare to go out either."

After saying this, he did not forget to sigh in distress.

Mo Xinglan: “…”

Just at this time, Chu Furong and the other two had already bought river lanterns and came to the two of them.

Chu Furong gave each of them a lotus lantern.

After taking the river lantern, Chujiu looked at it back and forth in his hand like a curious baby.

"Let's go and release the lotus lanterns." Chu Furong took the lead and walked towards the river bank not far ahead.

Several people came to the river bank and lit the river lanterns in their hands.

At this time, the number of people coming to the river to release river lanterns has gradually decreased, because most people have already released their lanterns and left.

The river surface was already full of river lanterns, which lit up the entire river.

Chujiu held the river lantern in both hands, found a good position, squatted down and planned to put the river lantern into the water.

But before he put it down, he heard Chu Furong's anxious voice: "Wait."

She had no choice but to stop releasing the river lanterns and turned to look at her: "What are you doing?"

"Make a wish before releasing it." Chu Furong reminded.

After a pause, she continued, "Even if it can't be realized, we can still pray for happiness."

Chujiu glanced at her, then lowered his eyes to look at the river lantern in his hand.

The golden candlelight dances in the breeze like a lively little man.
