Fast Travel: Strategies and Counter-Strikes

Chapter 195

"Let's light one too."

Shen Jin bought a Kongming lantern, took off the plastic cover, held a writing brush in her hand, handed it to Ming Hua on the opposite side, and said, "If you have anything to say, write on it if you have any wishes."

Ming Hua took the pen in a daze, and the yellow tissue paper was spread out in front of her eyes. After thinking for a while, she pretended to be mysterious and said, "You are not allowed to look at it."

"Okay, okay, I don't want to watch." Shen Jin said dotingly, and closed her eyes knowingly.

Minghua quietly wrote the pen, and the black handwriting was engraved on the paper like a swimming dragon. The moment she put away the pen, she turned the Kongming lantern over to let Shen Jin open her eyes, and returned the pen to him by the way.

"Do you want me to avoid this? What if I can fulfill your wish?" Shen Jin seemed to be particularly concerned about this.

Minghua smiled lightly, facing the night wind and lights by the river, she was as beautiful as a heavenly being.

Shen Jin could see that she didn't want to answer this question, so he took a pen and wrote words on the paper.

When everything was ready, Shen Jin and Minghua opened the folded Kongming lantern. Shen Jin picked up the lighter and lit a small cluster of flames at the candle in the center, and the rising hot air inflated the inside of the Kongming lantern.

The two stood opposite each other, their faces were illuminated by the dim light, and they held the corner of the Kongming Lantern.

Hearing the sound of the turbulent river, Minghua suddenly felt unreal as if he was living in a dream. Maybe it was the thin paper in front of his eyes that blocked the person opposite. If this was really a dream, he would find the person opposite after waking up. It does not exist, Shen Jin is just a person in an illusion, at that time...

Minghua didn't know why she thought of this, her heart throbbed violently.

When she first promised Shen Jin to be together, she still had the mentality of giving it a try, but she was moved by him again and again. Companionship is the best way to heal the scars.

At this moment, Ming Hua clearly realized the importance of Shen Jin to her.

"Shen Jin..."

"Ok?"

"Shen Jin, you have to remember what you promised me."

Shen Jin was slightly startled, and then smiled, her voice was so gentle that it could melt into water, "Well... I remember everything."

"If you can't be by my side for a long time, you must tell me sooner." When she said this, Ming Hua's mood suddenly became heavy.

At this moment, Shen Jin on the opposite side let go of one hand, and quietly took Ming Hua's hand, and Ming Hua heard his answer.

"No, I will always be with you."

Ming Hua's nose was sour, her eyes were blurred for a moment, the water light blocked her vision, she opened her mouth, unable to speak.

Shen Jin kept holding her hand tightly, "Let's light up the lights."

"……Um."

As soon as the words fell, the blocking Kongming lantern between the two of them slowly flew towards the sky, and Shen Jin saw that Minghua reflected under the light had already burst into tears. She cried very quietly, but her eyes were red circles.

Shen Jin seldom saw her cry, and she could count the few times with her fingers. When she wiped away her tears, her expression was as if she was in deep thought, without any feeling of sadness.

"What are you looking at... haven't seen me cry—"

Before the word "well" came out, Shen Jin stepped in front of her eyes with big strides, hugged her, lingered on her hair, leaned on his chin lightly, and said in a slightly solemn tone, "It's not like I haven't seen it before, It hurts every time I see it.”

Ming Hua was silent. From his arms, he could barely see that the Kongming lanterns lit by the two of them had already flown into the sky, and all the words on it could not be read clearly.

"...the lamp is flying far away." Ming Hua whispered.

Shen Jin patted her back with the other hand, and said in a magnetic voice, "It's okay, she's still here."
