Although Gu Wan and Gong Mohan planned to go to the lantern festival on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they had not yet discussed it with the two children.
However, thinking about it, Little Fish and Bao'Er probably would not refuse this trip. They might even be very excited.
After all, Gu Wan had been busy filming and did not have much time to play with them.
Although Little Fish and Bao'Er did not say anything, they were a little disappointed.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire crew arrived at the set early as usual to get ready. No one mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival during the filming.
In their opinion, under normal circumstances, Auchan probably would not choose to take a holiday. After all, the filming had been really smooth these past few days, and they did not encounter any bottlenecks at all.
If they continued to shoot at this momentum, they might be able to finish the project ahead of schedule. By then, the crew would have more time for post-production and publicity.
Auchan observed everyone's behavior. When everyone was taking a break at noon, he walked to the place used by the crew to gather with a loudspeaker.
"Everyone, don't leave in a hurry. It won't be too late to leave after hearing what I have to say!"
At that time, Gu Wan and Gong Mohan were about to walk out. When they heard Auchan's voice, they looked at each other and turned back.
Auchan asked someone to bring a stool over and sat there casually. As he watched the people walk over one after another, a trace of imperceptible slyness flashed in his eyes.
With a smile on his face, he checked the number of people and coughed lightly. Then, he said unhurriedly, "Since almost everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point. I'm sure everyone knows what day it is today."
Auchan paused at this point and looked at the people whispering to each other with a smile.
Finally, someone in the crowd could not hold back his curiosity and took the lead to ask Auchan,
"Director Ou, what do you mean by gathering us here? It's already noon, and everyone is still waiting for lunch to come back to work. If you have something to say, just say it! "
When a few unknown actors heard that someone was taking the lead, they echoed and asked Auchan one after another.
"Director Ou, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Did you call all of us here to discuss how to celebrate the festival? Or are you planning to schedule the afternoon's filming? "
"That's right, Director Ou, don't keep us in suspense. Can't you just say what you want to say? We can't guess what you mean. "
Everyone discussed one after another. They had no idea why Auchan suddenly called them here.
"Ahem!" Ou Shang suddenly interrupted the crowd and said with a smile, "Look at you all, what are you panicking for? Do you think that I, Ou Shang, will eat you all up?"
Everyone cursed silently, 'You won't eat people, but when you're angry, you're ten thousand times more terrifying than a cannibal.'
Auchan held a megaphone in her hand and said cheerfully to the crowd, "After lunch today, you don't have to come to the set to film anymore. I'll give you all a half-day break in the afternoon. There's a pretty good lantern festival here. Those of you who have a partner can bring them along. For those of you who don't, I suggest you find a few people to go with you. That way, you won't be choked to death by the lovey-dovey displays of affection on the streets."
Everyone clicked their tongues and left without waiting for Auchan to react. Although they showed disdain on their faces, they were still a little excited in their hearts.
The Mid-Autumn Festival meant a family reunion. Some people who lived nearby even skipped lunch and rushed to the bus station on the spot.
Most of the crew members, who were far away from home, video-called their families during their free time to talk about how much they missed each other.
When Gu Wan and Gong Mohan returned to the hotel, the bodyguards happened to bring Little Fish and Bao 'er out.
"Mommy!"
"Daddy!"
When the two children saw Gu Wan and Gong Mohan, they excitedly shook off the bodyguards' hands and flew to them.
Little Fish held Gu Wan's arm and asked Gu Wan coquettishly, "Mommy, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you still going to film?"
Bao 'er also looked at Gu Wan eagerly, her big teary eyes full of expectation.
Gong Mo picked up Little Fish and rubbed his little head affectionately. She comforted him and said, "Your mommy doesn't have to film today. Let's go out to play after lunch, okay?"
Little Fish and Bao 'er heard this and their eyes lit up. They said excitedly, "Really? Mommy, you really don't have to film today? "
Gu Wan smiled and nodded under the expectant eyes of the two children. She replied softly, "Of course. When have I ever lied to you?"
Bao 'er and Little Fish happily circled around Gu Wan, chattering non-stop with Gu Wan.
Gu Wan didn't get angry. She kept a smile on her face as she listened to the two children tell her everything that had happened during this period of time. Occasionally, she would interject and point out the mistakes in their stories. Gong Mohan took in the scene in front of him. There was an indescribable bitterness and happiness in his heart.
After playing for a while, Little Fish and Bao 'er soon began to feel sleepy. After all, children had limited energy. They had run and jumped happily at noon, so their energy had long been exhausted.
Gu Wan and Gong Mohan discussed for a while and decided that it would be more interesting to watch the lantern show at night. During the day, they would not be able to experience the magnificent scenery of the brightly lit lanterns at all. Therefore, they took a nap with the two children.
It was not necessary to go to the lantern show so early, because the lantern show might still be in progress. Even if they went, they would only be able to see a semi-finished product.
Moreover, during the day, there were many people and all kinds of people. Gu Wan did not feel at ease to take Bao 'er and Little Fish out at this time.
Night fell quietly. Gu Wan helped Little Fish and Bao 'er change into new clothes. Then, she walked out of the hotel with Gong Mohan, ready to go to the lantern show.
The bell rang leisurely from afar. The ten-mile long street was ablaze with lights. Gu Wan and Gong Mohan held the two children's hands and strolled in the crowd, carefully enjoying the rare scenery in front of them.
Amidst the crowd, Gu Wan and Gong Mohan came to the edge of a stage. The organizers here were holding an annual lantern riddle-guessing contest.
Many people were eager to give it a try. As they rubbed their palms together, countless people confidently stepped onto the stage, but in the end, they walked down dejectedly. Very few people could pass ten rounds on the stage.
Gong Mohan saw through Gu Wan's thoughts. He smiled and asked, "Do you want to give it a try?"
"I don't think so." Gu Wan shook her head and hesitantly refused. "There are so many people here. What if I guessed wrong? How embarrassing would that be?"
Gong Mohan smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He knew that although Gu Wan usually looked like an easy-going person, her true nature was revealed in such a grand occasion. She was obviously very interested, but she was afraid of guessing wrong and losing face.
"It's okay. We're just here to have fun today. You see, no one will say anything even if those people guessed wrong. As long as we have fun, we don't have to worry about what they think."
After being enlightened by Gong Mohan, Gu Wan couldn't hold back her little thoughts anymore.
Little Fish and Bao 'er also joined in and begged Gu Wan to go up and guess the lantern riddles so that she could win the biggest lantern.
When the host of the lantern riddles saw Gu Wan step onto the stage, he hurriedly raised the microphone to greet her. "Someone else is coming up to take part in the challenge. This time it's a beautiful lady. Let's applaud and look forward to this beautiful lady's appearance."
Gu Wan stepped onto the stage amidst the cheers and laughter. She stated her purpose of coming directly.
The host laughed and livened up the atmosphere. "It seems that our new guest is very confident. She can't wait to take part in the challenge. In that case, I hereby announce that the game officially begins!"
The first question set by the host was related to the traditional festival. The riddle was: The sun looms in the sky beside the mountain, and the lonely person is buried under the rain.
Gu Wan was the first to answer. "I know, the answer to the riddle is the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
She won a good start amidst the warm applause, and the stone that had been hanging in her heart was finally lifted.
Little Fish and Bao 'er cheered happily and applauded for Gu Wan.
In the following game, Gu Wan was unstoppable and unimpeded all the way to the end.
When the host got the last riddle, he deliberately kept the audience in suspense. "Now, it's finally the exciting final moment. Who will get the biggest prize of our Lantern Festival? Let's wait and see!"
Although Gu Wan was full of confidence, she inevitably felt a little nervous at this time. She quietly clenched her fists, and her palms were full of sweat.
She raised her head and glanced at Gong Mohan and the two children who were standing in the crowd. Seeing their expectant gazes, she slowly revealed a wide smile.
The host soon announced the last riddle. "Well, let's see what the last riddle of the game is!"
The red light flashed, and a line of poetry appeared on the big screen in the center of the stage.
The host read it aloud, "A beauty from all over the world, pure and innocent at the age of 15 or 16, sick at the age of 18, dead at the age of 30! It seems that the riddle this time is a little difficult. I wonder if our guest can solve it? "
Gu Wan thought for a moment and smiled contemptuously. Then, without hesitation, she hit the buzzer and calmly spat out two words. "The moon!"
The host finally announced the answer, and it was indeed the moon.
Gu Wan won the final victory under everyone's envious, admiring, jealous, and doubtful eyes.
When Little Fish and Bao 'er saw the lantern sent by the organizer, they happily walked around the lantern, but did not dare to reach out to touch it.
Gong Mohan saw everything. He took the lantern from the other party's hand and raised it in front of Little Fish and Bao 'er for the two children to admire.
After resting for a while, Gu Wan prepared to go to the place where the lantern was placed. Together with the two children, she set the exquisitely made lantern on fire.
