Chapter 98

"Wow, it\'s so beautiful! Come take a look!" Su Mo stood by the window and called out to the others.

Sang Li and the rest came over, looking at the scene outside, and they were all stunned by the sight.

Su Mo quickly took out her phone and snapped a photo.

"It looks so good even without a filter! This is just amazing!"

After admiring the photo on her phone for a while, she suddenly noticed her phone battery was only at sixty percent.

"Sister Li, how\'s your phone battery?" Su Mo turned and asked.

Sang Li took out her phone and glanced at it, "Sixty percent."

Xia Miaomiao heard their words, also took out her phone for a look, "Ah, mine is sixty percent too!"

"So our phone batteries are draining! Do you think this might signify something?" Xia Miaomiao asked.

Sang Li paused, then walked over to Su Mo and whispered: "Su Mo, Gu Zhi gave the treasure map to Wu Ying. Find a chance to ask him to lend the map to us."

Su Mo thought for a moment. "Alright, I\'ll ask him tonight."

Just then, Wu Ying and Gu Zhi walked in.

"Sister, I\'ve ordered the dishes."

The few sat down and chatted about matters in the Gu residence.

Cai Elder had been captured and thrown into prison.

Almost all of Cai Elder\'s gang were apprehended during this engagement ceremony.

The Gu family also suffered heavy losses, their vitality greatly injured, and there were still many matters that needed settling.

So the engagement between Gu Zhi and Sang Li was arranged to take place three days later, coinciding with Gu Zhi\'s birthday celebrations, which could bring the Gu family some joy.

When Sang Li announced her engagement to Gu Zhi, the three sisters all stared wide-eyed in shock, unable to believe it!

"This...isn\'t this too sudden?" Su Mo couldn\'t help but ask.

"That\'s right, Sister Li, this is rather abrupt, isn\'t it?" Xia Miaomiao also said.

Sang Li smiled. "Since I\'ve agreed, there\'s no need to hesitate."

Gu Zhi held Sang Li\'s hand, brimming with sweetness. "Sister, I didn\'t expect you to marry me so quickly either, I\'m so happy!"

Wu Ying unconsciously glanced at Su Mo, suddenly feeling envious of Gu Zhi.

But he carried too heavy a burden, and currently had no way to provide Su Mo a safe and stable home.

His expression darkened, feeling upset inside.

Su Mo didn\'t notice Wu Ying\'s expression. She exchanged looks with her sisters, realizing there were things they shouldn\'t ask in front of Gu Zhi, so they planned to question Sang Li in detail later that night.

After the meal, the sky had already darkened, but the streets were still brightly lit and very lively.

Gu Zhi brought them to the wishing lotus pond they visited yesterday.

He went to buy a wishing lantern, then turned to Wu Ying and said: "Wu Ying, do you want to get one too? This is our local custom here, releasing wishing lanterns together with someone dear, implying you\'ll never be apart."

Wu Ying didn\'t usually believe in such things, but when he turned and saw Su Mo frolicking with Xiao Han and the others, he still said: "Then I\'ll get one too."

The two men walked to the edge of the pond with their lanterns, and saw the four girls taking photos with their phones.

"Oh geez, Miaomiao really knows how to take photos, the atmosphere is perfect. What is this rubbish Xiao Han took? Total tourist shots!" Su Mo complained.

Xia Miaomiao laughed. "Xiao Han, don\'t you think Heaven made you lose your phone because it knows you can\'t take photos?"

"You three...just pretentious! Vain!"

Su Mo shook her head with a grin. "But we are beautiful!"

Seeing Wu Ying approach, Su Mo immediately went up to him and held out her phone. "Wu Ying, look, don\'t you think my photos look nice?"

Wu Ying glanced at the photos on her phone and smiled slightly. "Very nice."

"Oh, your lantern looks so lovely, where did you buy it?" Su Mo noticed the wishing lantern Wu Ying was holding and took it from him right away.

"Over there. Gu Zhi said...we can make wishes with it."

"Really? Then let\'s hurry and make our wishes!"

Su Mo happily pulled Wu Ying along to find a spot by the pond.

Gu Zhi also held a lantern, and walked to Sang Li\'s side. "Sister, can we make wishes together today?"

Sang Li took his hand and smiled. "Of course, A-Zhi. Happy birthday, what gift would you like?"

Gu Zhi leaned in to her ear and whispered: "Sister, you are my gift..."

Sang Li laughed lightly, then took out her phone and opened the camera. "Let\'s take a photo together."

Gu Zhi had naturally seen their occasional phone use before, so he wasn\'t too surprised.

He leaned in until his face was next to Sang Li\'s ear, and they took a few photos before going to the pond to release their lanterns.

Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao stood at the side, looking at Sang Li and Gu Zhi, then turned to glance at Su Mo and Wu Ying on the other side.

With a sweep of the scene, they saw almost all couples here releasing lanterns together.

The two girls exchanged looks and said in unison: "Singles don\'t belong in places like this!"

"Miaomiao, let\'s go over there and buy snacks instead. No need to keep eating dog food here!"

Xiao Han pulled Xia Miaomiao along to escape this dog-abusing scene.

...

After releasing the wishing lanterns, Wu Ying and Su Mo went up the steps.

Su Mo held Wu Ying\'s arm and asked curiously: "Wu Ying, what did you wish for just now?"

Wu Ying paused. "It won\'t come true if I say it."

Su Mo pouted. "Alright...then I won\'t say mine either!"

Wu Ying looked at her.

Su Mo, I wish we could live in the sunshine forever.

"Wu Ying, I heard you gave the treasure map to Gu Zhi, right?" Su Mo suddenly asked.

Wu Ying nodded. "Yes."

Su Mo tentatively asked: "Could you...lend me the treasure map to take a look?"

Wu Ying looked at her puzzledly. "What do you need the map for?"

Su Mo immediately grabbed his hand pleadingly. "Oh come on, I\'m just curious to see it. I\'ll give it back after looking!"

How could Wu Ying resist Su Mo\'s coaxing? Despite his misgivings, he still conceded: "Since you want to see it, I\'ll let you have it."

Wu Ying took out a wrapped scroll from his robe and handed it to Su Mo. "Su Mo, you must safeguard this properly."

Su Mo received the map and quickly nodded. "Mm-hmm, the map\'s with me, I\'m with the map. The map\'s gone, I\'m gone too!"

Wu Ying knitted his brows. "What nonsense are you saying? Though this map is important, you are more so!"

Su Mo held his hand and smiled at him. "I know, I\'ll keep it safe!"

On the other side, Sang Li and Gu Zhi had also finished releasing their lanterns and came up.

"Su Mo, where did Miaomiao and Xiao Han go?"

"They probably went over there to buy food. Let\'s go find them!"

The few went over, and after locating Xia Miaomiao and Xiao Han, the six strolled the streets for a while more before returning to the Gu residence.
