Chapitre 127: Chapter 127. I Also Want to Release Kongming Lanterns
Five minutes later.
Tang Wan was holding a cotton candy as big as a washbasin in her hand.
Seeing the amused expressions of the other tourists, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Zhou Chen ignored the glances from those people and just munched on his cotton candy on his own, finding it extraordinarily sweet.
Tang Wan said in a pitiful voice, "I told you a three-yuan one would be enough, but you insisted on the ten-yuan ones. How am I supposed to eat such a big cotton candy?"
Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Watch how I eat it!"
With that, he stretched his neck and licked some of the cotton candy into his mouth.
Tang Wan wrinkled her nose but also imitated Zhou Chen's way of eating the cotton candy.
Looking at Tang Wan with her rosy cheeks, Zhou Chen couldn't help but smile.
Is this what it feels like to be in love?
It's really wonderful!
After taking a few bites, a glint of mischief flashed in Tang Wan's jet-black eyes. She brought the uneaten side of the cotton candy to Zhou Chen's mouth and said in a sweet and coquettish voice, "Take a bite..."
Zhou Chen didn't think much and opened his mouth to bite.
Tang Wan's willow-like eyebrows curved into a crescent moon. Suddenly, she pressed Zhou Chen's head with one hand and smeared the cotton candy all over Zhou Chen's face with the other hand.
"Ugh... Tang Wan..."
Zhou Chen tore the cotton candy off his face, only to see that Tang Wan had already run far away.
She still didn't forget to turn around and make a face: "Nyeh nyeh nyeh..."
"Hah..."
Zhou Chen grabbed the cotton candy in one go, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then he took off after her.
Tang Wan's eyelids twitched. She quickly turned around to flee for her life.
However, Zhou Chen was really too fast. In just a few minutes, he caught up with Tang Wan.
He grabbed Tang Wan by the back of her neck.
"Ah... I'm sorry... Please forgive me!"
Tang Wan pleaded pitifully.
Looking at Tang Wan's pitiable little expression, the corners of Zhou Chen's mouth curved into a dangerous smile: "Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?"
Tang Wan said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "How do you want me to make it up to you?"
Zhou Chen chuckled: "Kiss me!"
Tang Wan's eyes widened round as saucers, and a blush spread across her face.
She took a deep breath and blinked her mischievous big eyes, saying: "Close your eyes..."
Looking at Tang Wan's moist red lips, Zhou Chen swallowed and then closed his eyes and leaned his face forward.
"Come on, baby..."
Click!
Not far away, Lu Qing snapped a photo of Tang Wan running away.
Zhou Chen waited for quite a while but didn't get the kiss from Tang Wan. His brows furrowed slightly.
He opened his eyes, but there was no sign of Tang Wan anywhere.
Zhou Chen became angry out of embarrassment and chased after her again.
Don't let me catch you.
Otherwise, I'll kiss your lips till they're swollen later.
Tang Wan stopped in front of a disabled person without legs.
This disabled person was in his twenties, dressed in rags, lying on a wooden cart. On the ground in front of him, he had written his pitiful life story with chalk.
He lost his mother at three, his father at five, and had his legs crushed by a large truck at seven. The hit-and-run driver escaped, and since then, he had been living by begging.
The disabled person was pale, with chapped lips. He looked up at Tang Wan and said weakly, "Miss, please have mercy. I haven't eaten for three days!"
Tang Wan wouldn't usually sympathize with beggars, but she would with the disabled. This disabled person without legs indeed had no ability to work.
She took out two one-hundred-yuan bills from her bag.
The disabled person's eyes widened in shock. He quickly thanked her with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Miss. Thank you. You are so beautiful and kind-hearted. I wish your whole family good health and harmony, and everything goes well in your family!"
Tang Wan smiled gently and put the money into the bowl beside the beggar.
Just then, Zhou Chen grabbed Tang Wan's wrist.
Tang Wan looked at Zhou Chen in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Chen asked with a smile, "Do you really believe this kind of thing?"
"What do you mean? Is he faking it? But he doesn't have legs!"
Tang Wan said as she looked at the empty trouser legs of the disabled person.
Zhou Chen stepped forward and was about to pull at the disabled person's trouser legs.
The disabled person's face changed. He quickly pressed down on his trouser legs and growled, "What do you think you're doing?"
Zhou Chen said calmly, "It's such a hot day and you're still wearing long pants. I'll help you cool down a bit..."
The disabled person was furious. "Get lost! Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
Zhou Chen was also worried that this guy might have accomplices, so he said, "You can deceive others, but not my girlfriend!"
The disabled person glanced at the two one-hundred-yuan bills in Tang Wan's hand and said through gritted teeth, "Take your girlfriend and get lost. Don't let me see you again!"
The workers were almost off work, school was about to be out, and the number of tourists on the island was going to increase. To not delay the upcoming begging, he had no choice but to take a step back.
Zhou Chen pulled Tang Wan and left.
After walking a long way, Tang Wan whispered, "He really doesn't have legs. How could he be a fake disabled person?"
Zhou Chen explained, "They've practiced. They can tuck their legs under their bodies!"
These kinds of people have just emerged not long ago, and they are using people's sympathy to cheat. If I weren't a reborn person, I might have been deceived too.
Tang Wan asked like a curious baby, "Then how did you figure it out?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "He doesn't have legs, yet he's still wearing long pants on such a hot day. He must be worried about being exposed. If he were a real disabled person, he would show his legs!"
Actually, these disguising techniques are still quite simple now. In the future, those scammers will even make fake prosthetic limbs to pretend to be amputees.
Tang Wan pouted and said, "These people are really awful. We should have exposed him just now!"
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "They should have a small group. If we smash their rice bowls, trouble might come looking for us!"
"I don't know how many kind-hearted people have been tricked. I really don't understand these people. They have hands and feet. Why don't they just find a proper job?" Tang Wan wrinkled her nose and complained.
Zhou Chen put his hands in his pockets, looked ahead, and murmured softly, "These are mild cases. In the future, when the Internet becomes more developed and mobile phones are widely used, online fraud and telecom fraud will emerge in an endless stream!"
Tang Wan pursed her lips and said, "People are watching what they do. One day, they will get their comeuppance!"
The two walked side by side.
Before they knew it, it was already completely dark.
On both sides of the road, the colorful lights hanging on the trees were twinkling.
Zhou Chen sent a message to Wu Hui.
After receiving the message, Wu Hui asked Monk Wei to bring people to Acacia Island.
Zhou Chen and Tang Wan walked hand in hand to the end of the road.
There was a platform like a square at the end of the road.
There were old men sitting on the edge of the platform fishing.
There were also couples releasing Kongming lanterns here.
Tang Wan's eyes lit up as she watched the slowly rising Kongming lanterns: "Zhou Chen, I also want to release Kongming lanterns..."
Zhou Chen bought two Kongming lanterns from a stall.
A moment later, Tang Wan was holding the Kongming lanterns, and Zhou Chen crouched down to light the polyethylene wax block with a borrowed lighter, saying, "When the Kongming lanterns fly up later, remember to make a wish!"
"Uh-huh!"
Tang Wan nodded obediently.
After a while, the Kongming lanterns rose slowly.
Tang Wan clasped her hands and closed her eyes to make a wish.
[I hope I can have a perfect future with Zhou Chen!]
Zhou Chen also put his hands together.
He silently made a wish in his heart.
[I hope Tang Wan can give birth to several more children!]
This scene was naturally captured by Lu Qing.
He took a few photos of the two making wishes and then walked a few steps closer. Lying on the ground, he took pictures with the backdrop of the sky full of Kongming lanterns.
The two opened their eyes, and Tang Wan asked, "What did you wish for?"
"It won't come true if I say it out loud!"
"Alright, let's release the other Kongming lantern!"
As the second Kongming lantern took off, the two closed their eyes to make wishes again.
Tang Wan: [I hope the families of Zhou Chen and I will be safe and sound and can get along harmoniously in the future!]
Zhou Chen: [I hope the families of Tang Wan and I will be healthy and long-lived!]
For both of them, their first wishes were about each other, and it was only in their second wishes that they blessed their families' safety.
It could be considered as having a tacit understanding.
After releasing the Kongming lanterns, there was a magician performing magic tricks on the square.
The two watched for a while, and then Tang Wan tugged at Zhou Chen's clothes and said, "Zhou Chen, I'm hungry!"
Zhou Chen glanced at Tang Wan's flat stomach and said with a smile, "Then shall we go out to eat?"
"No, I want to stay with you a little longer!"
"Then let's find a place to eat snacks!"
"Okay!"
