Chapter 1044 The Reborn Young Masters Pampered Cousin (42)

Qi Chimu originally wanted to refuse, but he saw that this lantern was exquisitely made, the kind of refined a beautiful thing that girls loved most.

As though possessed, he reached out and accepted it.

Then he turned around and descended from the stage.

In the hustle and bustle of the crowd, he sported a dark face, with none of the bright and handsome qualities hed had on stage just earlier.

His mood felt inexplicably rotten.

Qi Chimu grasped the handle of the lamp and walked forward.

Suddenly, his footsteps paused. A crescent moon-colored figure ran out from the side

and into his arms.

Qi Chimu was knocked back several steps. He was just about to scold the person.

But then he smelled a familiar fragrance.

He lowered his head and saw Bai Weiwei clutching her nose with tears in her eyes. She said, somewhat aggrievedly, Why is the road so slippery?

After snowing, it was sure to be slippery.

Qi Chimu stood firm, lamp in hand. He wanted to shove her away, but he hesitated and didnt push.

Bai Weiwei raised her head and quickly steadied her body.

She was a bit awkward as she tugged at her cloak. She snorted. Didnt you agree with me to watch the lanterns?

This sentence was like that of questioning a lover.

Qi Chimu vaguely felt that something was wrong with such an emotionally obtuse person.

But this kind of wrongness wasnt particularly uncomfortable.

He laughed calmly. I thought biao mei didnt like seeing me. After all, the Lantern Festival is hard to come by. It wouldnt be good if your mood was ruined after seeing me, a person you hate so much.

Bai Weiweis expression stiffened. Then, she struggled to put on a cold face.

Yeah ah, after seeing you, my mood indeed isnt good.

Qi Chimu sighed. I seem to remember that the clothes-washing woman asked me this morning whether the matter of bringing home the wrong child was true or false.

Bai Weiweis cold expression cracked. She took a deep breath, as though holding back her anger.

Then she gritted her teeth, and her voice became soft. Biao ge, dont you want to watch the lanterns? Ill go with you.

Qi Chimu smiled, and his gaze held a bit more warmth.

He said in an exaggerated manner, My hand is a bit tired. This lantern is a bit heavy.

Bai Weiwei immediately held out her hand. Ill do it.

Qi Chimu promptly handed her the lantern.

Bai Weiwei looked at the lanter, the exquisitely produced four seasons and the different colors of the lights.

Her angry expression froze. She could not suppress the wonder in her eyes.

Qi Chimu asked in a low voice, Is it pretty?

Bai Weiwei said without thinking, Very pretty.

Qi Chimu: It was won only after answering a hundred lantern riddles correctly.

Bai Weiwei stared at the lamp, looking no different from a little girl.

She wasnt paying attention to what he was saying.

No one has ever answered a hundred riddles correctly. When I was a child, I always expected that there would be someone who could do it because the prize lantern was so beautiful. I myself answered all of them, but after answering three questions correctly, I was driven off stage.

She spoke as she looked down at the lamp.

Her black eyes were full of delight.

Because she had her head lowered, she revealed a part of her white neck. It looked elegant and soft.

With such an appearance, who could have thought that she was a tormentor with such sinister means?

Qi Chimus gaze darkened. He stared at her and suddenly asked. I answered correctly. Should I give the lamp to you?

Bai Weiwei looked up, raising her voice. Really?

There was longing and joy in her eyes.

What pure and unconcealed emotions.

Qi Chimu gave a smile and softly coaxed, Come, call me gege. Then Ill give it to you.

To call him gege was already a humiliation to her.

Gege, this kind of extremely intimate address, she wouldnt say it even if she was beaten to death.
