On the way home, Tian Tian lay comfortably on Ling Chen's back with one hand around Ling Chen's neck and the other holding a small lantern. Within the lantern was the result of tonight's battle, and her small legs were kicking about, occasionally kicking Ling Chen's clothes.
Tian Tian's body was very light, and she didn't feel heavy at all on his back. However, her legs were soft and smooth, making him want to pinch them a few times. However, he didn't say anything, "Tian Tian, don't move around. I'm already tired from carrying you for so long, and you kicked me at least 20 times!"
Little Tian Tian switched the lantern to her other hand, and the warm light from the lantern shone on her cute face. She blinked and said in a pleased tone, "You were the one who wanted to compete with me, so of course you have to accept the punishment. As such, you have to obediently carry me home, and you're not allowed to complain. "
"There's two of you, and only one of me. This is too unfair," Ling Chen said with a depressed expression.
"Who told you to always bully me? Big sister loves me so much, so of course she'll help me. " Tian Tian leaned forwards and pursed her rose-coloured lips as she moved closer to his ear and said with a smile, "Apart from mummy, no one else has ever carried me before. As such, having the right to carry this Demon King is something to be proud of. Even … even if I'm not the Demon King yet, as a big brother, you should treat me well like a big sister. I'm so tired from playing, so you should carry me home. "
Ling Chen was speechless … it turned out that this little girl was quite sharp-tongued. She was able to casually say such a thing.
Shui Ruo covered her mouth with her hand as she secretly laughed. Looking at Ling Chen and Tian Tian, who were stuck together, she felt as if she could see herself lazily lying on his back. Even when they got home, she was unwilling to get off, and sometimes she would even unknowingly fall asleep on his back. Even though he deliberately walked very slowly, she still felt that the road back then was always so short.
After walking through a street that wasn't very busy, at the intersection of the street, a lantern wrapped in paper rose into the air. Looking up, the sky was filled with fiery lights. Tian Tian's eyes lit up as she pointed at the sky and yelled, "Look, it's fireflies! And they're very, very big fireflies too! "
Ling Chen and Shui Ruo both laughed, and Shui Ruo said, "Tian Tian, those aren't fireflies, they're a type of lantern called a Kongming Lantern. After lighting the lantern, after a while, the lantern will fly by itself until it's very, very high up in the sky. After lighting the lantern, it will fly very high up in the sky. Usually, you can also write your wish on the Kongming lantern and let your wish fly high with the Kongming lantern. Legend has it that the higher and farther the Kongming lantern flies, the more likely the wish will come true. "
"Sky Lantern … Wish …" Tian Tian looked up at the flames in the air, her voice filled with wonder and yearning.
"Ruo Ruo, let's go buy a few Kongming lanterns." Ling Chen said as he smiled. Tian Tian's thoughts were always clearly shown on her face and in her voice. Looking at her, it was evident that she was very interested in the Kongming lanterns.
They bought three of the smallest Kongming lanterns and went to a place where there was no one around. The three of them wrote their wishes on the lanterns … Tian Tian knew how to write, and when she wrote, she covered her face tightly, afraid that they would see what she wrote. Afterwards, Ling Chen and Shui Ruo taught Tian Tian how to light the Kongming lanterns, then lit their own lanterns. Soon, the 3 Kongming lanterns rose into the air and floated into the sky.
"Wow! They're flying, they're really flying … they're flying so high! " Tian Tian happily yelled as she excitedly jumped up and down. In the gentle night wind, the 3 Kongming lanterns were brought in the same direction, flying higher and higher.
"Big sister, big brother, can the Kongming lanterns really grant wishes?" Even though the Kongming lanterns had already flown far away, Tian Tian still looked up, her eyes unblinkingly following the Kongming lanterns.
"Our Kongming lanterns flew so high and so far, so of course our wishes will be granted." Shui Ruo said as she smiled.
"En!" Tian Tian vigorously nodded, placing her hands in front of her and lightly closing her eyes. "My wish will definitely be granted. Everything will be perfect, definitely."
Although they didn't know what kind of wish Tian Tian had written, seeing how serious and sincere she was, it was definitely a beautiful wish.
Finally, the Kongming lanterns disappeared into the night wind. Tian Tian looked at the sky for a while, then lowered her head and picked up the small lanterns in her arms. "Big sister, big brother, can we release the fireflies we caught? If we catch them, they'll definitely be scared. If we bring them home and their families can't find them, they'll definitely be worried to death. "
"Haha!" Ling Chen immediately laughed. He stretched out his hand and stroked Tian Tian's hair as he said, "Tian Tian, did you know that a long time ago, your big sister and I would often catch fireflies, and we would catch a lot each time. However, in the end, your big sister would always release them. Even what she said back then was similar to what you said."
"Tian Tian's such a good girl. Let's release them then. They're all independent creatures, so we shouldn't lock them up. "Tian Tian's words made Shui Ruo incredibly happy, and she liked Tian Tian even more. Together with Tian Tian, she carefully opened the paper lanterns and watched as motes of light flew out and revolved around them, making this small space seem like a dream.
"Fireflies, hurry up and go home. Next time we come to play, be careful not to get caught by us again … Goodbye … Goodbye!" Tian Tian waved at them, saying something they couldn't understand as she reluctantly bid them farewell.
The more time they spent together, the more cute Ling Chen found Tian Tian to be. Seeing her like this, Ling Chen inwardly laughed … How can a little girl like you, who can't even bear to bring fireflies home, rule the earth? Haha.
When they returned home, Tian Tian had already fallen asleep on his back. She slept exceptionally well, just like how Shui Ruo slept in the past … the same thing was that there was a large pool of saliva on Ling Chen's back. He gently opened the door, entered the house, and gently carried Tian Tian onto the bed without waking her up.
Looking at the time, it was already 10pm. She had never gone out to play so late before. After covering Tian Tian with the blanket, Ling Chen said in a small voice, "Ruo Ruo, you must be tired. Go to bed early."
"Mm." Shui Ruo softly replied as she lovingly looked at the sleeping Tian Tian. Her feelings towards Tian Tian were becoming more and more like a mother's love for her daughter. Even though she was only 5 or 6 years older than Tian Tian.
Since it was so early, Ling Chen definitely wouldn't be able to sleep. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, then walked to the balcony and looked at the night sky as he silently thought about his own matters. There were simply too many things that he had to think about every day, including his own future, as well as many other people's futures.
Just what kind of girl was Tian Tian? From the first day he met her, she had been filled with mysteries. However, no matter what, although she could be mischievous, arrogant, and even lose her temper, she was still a very cute and kind girl. Moreover, now that Shui Ruo liked her so much, keeping her by his side wouldn't be a bad thing … Moreover, even Ling Tian couldn't bear to see her leave.
In the night sky, a dim shadow suddenly flashed by, coming closer and closer to him.
That was …
Ling Chen looked over, and with the help of the moonlight, he could see that it was a paper bag floating in the air. It looked somewhat familiar, and he immediately remembered. Wasn't that the 'lampshade' of the Kongming lanterns that they had played with before? After a Kongming lantern flew for a period of time, the light inside would be extinguished, and the Kongming lantern would fall due to losing the hot air. However, this one was evidently a Kongming lantern that had been released by someone.
As if sensing Ling Chen's gaze, the floating lampshade actually flew towards him with the wind, and hit the glass of his balcony. Ling Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled open the glass and took the lampshade in … he wondered what kind of wishes the owner of this sky lantern would have written on it.
Reading other people's wishes wasn't something that a good person should do, but since it had come to him, he might as well take a look.
On the thin piece of paper, there were 3 short lines. The owner of this Kongming lantern had written 3 wishes on it. The words that formed these wishes were slightly crooked, and the technique used was clearly immature, as if it had been written by a child. However, every word was written with great effort and seriousness, and every stroke was clearly written.
Mum and big brother and big sister want to be safe forever.
Big brother and big sister want to always love me.
I want to become a demon king and rule the earth.
Ling Chen stared blankly for a long time, and then couldn't help but smile warmly. He had originally planned to throw away the lampshade after reading it, but now, he laid it on the floor and used his palm to flatten it. Then, he carefully folded it into a square shape. After folding it, he placed it in the cabinet on the balcony.
He really wanted to know what Tian Tian's future would be like.
Tonight was a normal night for him. The only difference was that he was standing on the balcony, and not in the game. Everything that happened tonight wasn't too deep into his memory. The only thing that made him feel slightly regretful was that he only had one back. If he carried Tian Tian, he wouldn't be able to carry Ruo Ruo.
However, one day, the girl that he had carried tonight would use her tender body to carry him, drag him, and walk for an entire night until she fainted. Only then would he understand that he had to carry this girl's life on his shoulders.
