Diary of my first love

Chapter 25 The Lantern Festival

When the practice room was about to arrive, Zhang Zhi suddenly received a call. When he saw the remark name, his face changed for a moment. He showed the remark name to Zhang Yu, and it said "Song Yilian" on it, and then Picked up the phone.During this period, the two people held hands and never let go.

Zhang Yu is not a particularly narrow-minded person. Private space is necessary for everyone. He never thinks about checking his lover's contacts and chat records.However, he was very satisfied with Zhang Zhi's attitude towards Song Yilian's call: he told him openly that my suitor had called, but I had to answer it.

He is indeed the man he chose.

The phone call ended quickly, through the phone Zhang Yu could feel that Song Yilian on the other end of the phone was very excited, but Zhang Zhi just said a few cold "hmm" before hanging up the phone.

Seeing that Zhang Zhi obviously had something to say, Zhang Yu took the initiative to say, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Zhi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Song Yilian's matter, she used to be my girlfriend's banner, I didn't care about it. On the one hand, it was for my father's sake, and the clarification would be embarrassing for a girl. More importantly, I haven't found you yet."

Zhang Zhi looked at Zhang Yu affectionately, raised Zhang Yu's hand, and pecked lightly on the back of his hand, "Now that I have found you, I have to clarify some things, please allow me to take a moment to move us away. This stumbling block on the road of love, my prince?"

Zhang Yu looked at the knight Zhang Zhi possessed by the dramatist, with an unstoppable smile in his eyes. He glanced at the hand resting on his hand, and he also entered the play with Zhang Zhi, like a prince in a novel Proudly raised his head, nodded a little, full of incomparable reserve and dignity.

"I grant your request, but please be sure to come back before dark, and there will be a grand lantern festival at night that needs your company."

"As ordered, Your Highness."

"Are you still leaving?" Zhang Yu asked afterward.

"No hurry, it's not too late to leave after I send you to the practice room." So, Zhang Zhi asked the staff, got the key to the practice room, led Zhang Yu, who was here for the first time, to the practice room, and then left.

Zhang Yu applied for this practice room mainly to practice dance and some musical instruments. The inside is very empty, and the floor is covered with a layer of silver-gray special floor glue. A row of dance poles are installed on both sides.

The classroom is not big, but it is enough for him to perform. Zhang Yu nodded with satisfaction, put down his bag, and started to practice.

When I get busy, time always slips away very quickly. In a flash, a day passes.

In the evening, Zhang Zhi came to the practice room to pick up Zhang Yu, had dinner together, and then went straight to the second playground. The second playground of S University is often used as a venue for some school activities, but the function of the playground itself has become secondary.

Due to the addition of some new competitions this year, some finals of the Kuixing Competition have been held in advance. Generally, they are some projects with a small number of applicants and objective and simple judging criteria, such as today’s Wednesday’s lantern riddle guessing. contest.

In order to fit the theme of lantern riddles and pairs, the person in charge directly held a form similar to the ancient Lantern Festival, and decided the champion and other rankings by guessing lantern riddles

From far away, you can see the bustling scene of the second playground. The lanterns hanging on the ground are connected together to reflect the deep night into a bright red. The whole playground is as bright as day, and there are people coming and going everywhere. , watching the excitement, and those who came on a date, the sounds of admiration, surprise, and cheers are connected together, and it is very lively.Everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and the lantern festival at night gave people a festive atmosphere.

At the gate of the playground, hawkers who had found business opportunities rushed over after hearing the news. There were rows of mask sellers, portable lantern sellers, and luminous headgear sellers... Zhang Yu also saw Xiaoxihu sell masks he met. My grandmother is also here, and there is also a gray-haired but good-looking grandfather beside her, who presumably is his wife.

Zhang Yu dragged Zhang Zhi to the grandmother's booth, and suggested, "Let's buy a mask!"

For Zhang Yu's small request, Zhang Zhi naturally would not refuse, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something.

Zhang Yu chose a faceless male mask without facial features. This mask doesn’t look as flashy as other masks, but it’s actually very scary. Just imagine if you suddenly run into a faceless male at the Lantern Festival, will you feel like a ghost?This shows Zhang Yu's bad taste.

Seeing that Zhang Zhi hadn’t chosen yet, Zhang Yu paid the money first, and the grandma’s mask was still at the same price, so Zhang Yu paid two copies, and looking at Zhang Zhi, he had already chosen.

It was a familiar silver mask, covering half of Zhang Zhi's face. That was the first time they met in Xiaoxihu.That day, both of them wore masks, and they didn't recognize each other at first. Although they were strangers, they talked a lot.At that time, I only felt that the other party and I were in harmony with each other.It wasn't until sunset that he realized that the masked person was the Zhang Zhi he had been looking for.

Zhang Yu thought about it, and felt that he should have not revealed his identity that day, and turned his head, revealing a smirk.

"Wait for me, I'll change the mask." Before Zhang Zhi could answer, Zhang Yu had already rushed to the grandmother's stall.

Zhang Zhi looked at his watch, it was exactly eight o'clock, and half an hour before the competition officially started, and both he and Zhang Yu participated in the guessing and pairing competition, so they had to report at least 10 minutes in advance.

While waiting, Zhang Zhi took a look at the layout of the playground. The fences and trees on all sides were hung with small colorful lights, flashing and flashing colorful lights, and every few meters hung a big red lantern like those in TV dramas. , but the inside is not a candle but an electronic lamp.A huge revolving lantern is placed at the four corners of the inner circle of the runway. As the spokes of the paper wheel rotate, images of people and horses chasing each other, objects changing and scenery shifting appear on the lamp screen.Although it is not very amazing, there are quite a lot of people gathered around it.

The center of the playground is the playing field this time, which is in the shape of a ring.In the middle are two high-hanging dragon and phoenix-shaped lanterns with pearls in their mouths, although it looks more like a lamp post in terms of height.With the dragon and phoenix lanterns as the center, lanterns of all kinds and strange shapes extend outward in a circle, forming nine circles in groups.

As for the number of columns of lanterns, there are even more columns. There are as many columns as there are contestants. Under each lantern hangs a riddle wrapped in a sachet or a couplet of couplets. Each column has a staff member. Continue to go in, if you want to reach the level of dragon and phoenix lanterns, you need to answer the questions in the nine sachets correctly.

The difficulty is not low, the couplet is okay, there is always a way to think about it, but the riddle is not necessarily, sometimes even if you think about it, you may not be able to think of it.

Zhang Zhi was concentrating on thinking, when suddenly a Beijing opera face appeared in front of him, it was too sudden, causing Zhang Zhi's reaction was a bit big, and he jumped back directly.

Zhang Zhi frowned, and was wondering who was so boring to scare him, when suddenly a familiar voice that seemed to be lowered on purpose came from behind the mask, "Why, I don't know each other, we were at the Broken Bridge in Xiaoxi Lake back then. But it was fun to talk about."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi immediately remembered. He took a closer look at the mask, and found that it was indeed exactly the same as the mask that the man was wearing back then. He approached and greeted Dahualian familiarly, "You also come to the lantern festival!"

But his hand moved quickly, and he took off the mask with a "wow", and under the mask were Zhang Yu's familiar faces that he couldn't be more familiar with.

Zhang Zhi seemed to pinch Zhang Yu's small face hard, and said viciously, "Do you still dare to scare me?"

Zhang Yu covered his face with Zhang Zhi's palm, squeezed his lips, and made a mutilated voice: "Don't dare, don't dare. Brother, let me go soon."

Zhang Zhi was only joking, not angry, and when he heard that Zhang Yu softened, he let go of his hand.

Zhang Yu rubbed his face that didn't hurt, and asked, "How can you be sure it's mine?" Although he knew that Zhang Zhi would probably guess who he was, but he wouldn't grab him by the fox's tail as soon as they met. Well, you must know that he deliberately changed his voice to prevent Zhang Zhi from recognizing it.

Zhang Zhi tapped Zhang Yu's little nose, "It's no use just covering your face without changing your clothes to play tricks on people."

Zhang Yu glanced at his conspicuous white striped T-shirt and ripped denim pants, and curled his lips, unexpectedly, he didn't think of this layer.

"You're done asking, it's time for me to ask." Zhang Zhi looked at Zhang Yu with a smile, but this smile made Zhang Yu a little timid.

"I'm the man with the big face mask you met at Broken Bridge back then." Zhang Yu seemed to know what Zhang Zhi wanted to ask, and said the answer directly.

Zhang Zhi was not surprised by the answer, took off the ring that was strung up with a rope around his neck, and asked, "Did you see this?"

Zhang Yu nodded, "I gave it myself, of course I know you." Then he became a little embarrassed, "Have you been wearing this all the time?"

"Then do you always wear my Jade Buddha?" Zhang Zhi didn't rush to answer, but asked instead.

"Before we met again, I kept wearing it." Zhang Yu replied, as for not wearing it for a few days in the middle, he naturally ignored it. He didn't want Zhang Zhi to find out the black history of those few days, and he would be very embarrassed. of.

"Me too. I'll wear it forever and ever."

"Forever is too long, I only allow one life."

The high-hanging lanterns warmed the night sky, and in a place where no one saw, two hands held together to make a lifetime promise.
