Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Yan Shuang'er was under immense pressure, feeling as if her head were pressed down by a weight of a thousand jin; suddenly her mind went completely blank, all her previous thoughts vanished in an instant, and she couldn't recall anything at all.

Just as she hesitated again and again, about to give up, Qianqian's gentle voice came from beside her: "Third Elder Sister, you're already amazing! If you really can't figure out this last question, just forget it, it's okay."

Hearing these words, Yan Shuang'er slowly raised her head and gazed up at the night sky. Only to see a bright, clear moon hanging high in the sky, casting down a clear, cold, yet gentle radiance, like a flawless bright mirror. In that instant, Yan Shuang'er had a flash of inspiration, and excitedly shouted: "A bright mirror? The bright mirror of a mind like a bright mirror? Is that right?"

After the Boss remained silent for a moment, he finally slowly opened his mouth and said: "Congratulations to this young lady, you actually got all ten questions right! According to our previous agreement, you will receive this exquisite heavy lantern as a reward!" While speaking, he carefully took out that gorgeous lantern to show everyone.

Just then, Qianqian beside her was excited like a little rabbit, and jumped up directly. She excitedly screamed: "Ahhh! Third Elder Sister, you're so amazing! You're simply my idol! I've never seen such a smart person!"

Not far away, Yan Wang led Yan Jie over as they walked over, both their faces beaming with joy. Yan Jie curiously raised his head to look at Yan Wang and asked: "Fourth Elder Brother, was that beautiful lantern taken by Third Elder Sister?"

Yan Wang smiled and nodded, replying: "Yes, in a while you can go touch that lantern with exquisite dragon patterns together with Qianqian." Hearing this, Yan Jie happily clapped his hands, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Third Elder Sister is so great!"

At this time, the onlookers around could no longer suppress their surprise and admiration, and began to discuss in groups. Someone said: "This little girl is really not simple, she actually answered all the questions correctly in one breath."

Someone else echoed: "That's right, look how smart and clever she is, she will definitely have a promising future." Praise rose and fell, never ceasing.

And Yan Shuang'er standing in the middle, because of everyone's enthusiastic praise, felt a bit embarrassed. She slightly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed with a rosy glow, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, charming and moving.

When the Boss handed the lantern to her, she gently took it, and politely said thank you: "Thank you." Seeing this, the Boss couldn't help but smile broadly, praising: "This little girl is not only exceptionally smart, but also so well-mannered, truly a rare good child!"

Qianqian said with a face full of joy: "Thank you for the lantern, Boss!" The Boss responded with a smiling face: "Aiya, don't be polite, little girl!" Just as his voice fell, Yan Shuang'er eagerly handed the lantern in her hand toward Qianqian.

However, Qianqian just gently tried to take it, then showed a difficult expression, and softly muttered: "Wow, this lantern is so heavy, I can't lift it at all." Yan Shuang'er heard this and took the lantern back; she herself picked up the lantern to feel it, and indeed felt it was heavy and substantial. Just now her attention was all on answering questions, now only after Qianqian's reminder did she feel the lantern was quite heavy.

Just then, Yan Wang quickly stepped forward, reached out and took the lantern from his younger sister Yan Shuang'er's hand, while muttering in his mouth: "Come, let me hold it, this lantern is indeed quite heavy."

He held the lantern steadily, as if this weight meant nothing to him. And Qianqian and Yan Jie beside him were full of curiosity, stepping forward, carefully extending both hands to gently touch the lantern.

After some exploration, they finally discovered the reason why this lantern was heavy—it turned out to be because of the vividly painted giant dragon on it.

Moreover, this dragon was not only painted exquisitely, but was also made using the superb craftsmanship technique of cloisonné. Even the fine dragon whiskers were made with this exquisite skill, no wonder the whole lantern was so heavy.

Only to see Qianqian's small hand gently stroking the dragon's eyes, her eyes full of affection; while Yan Jie was focused on rubbing the dragon's whiskers, his face also beaming with a happy smile.

The two of them just cherished and admired it like this for a good while, until someone reminded them that the bonfire banquet was about to start, only then did they reluctantly withdraw their hands, preparing to continue forward.

Who would have known, they had just walked a few steps when they ran into Qi Xi, Qi Yu, and Ai Jiao face to face. It turned out that Ai Jiao had also specially come out to play today, and happened to meet Qi Yu and Qi Xi on the road, so everyone traveled together.,

Two innocent children were happily weaving through the bustling crowd, always wondering in their hearts whether their good friend Qianqian was also playing here.

After all, in such an exceptionally lively scene, by common sense Qianqian definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity. So the two traveled together, hoping to meet Qianqian as soon as possible.

As expected, not long after, Ai Jiao's sharp gaze like a falcon's first caught sight of Qianqian's figure. Only to see her excitedly shouting at the top of her voice: "Qianqian—" This shout was like an oriole leaving the valley, clear and pleasant to the ear and extremely penetrating. And Qi Xi beside her, after hearing this, also hurriedly raised her head, looking in the direction Ai Jiao shouted.

At the same time, from far away opposite came an equally loud and cheerful response: "Ai Jiao—Xi Xi—" Immediately after, three small figures like arrows leaving the bowstring, quickly flew toward each other. Finally, they successfully gathered together, everyone's face beaming with uncontainable joy.

Just at this moment, Qianqian seemed to suddenly remember something, and excitedly said to her little companions: "You guys quickly look, just now my Third Elder Sister participated in the lantern riddle guessing activity and was amazing, actually winning a beautiful beyond compare lantern!" After speaking, Yan Wang standing beside her very tacitly handed over the exquisite lantern in his hand.

Ai Jiao and Qi Xi, seeing this, simultaneously let out an exclamation of surprise: "⊙? ⊙Wow!"

That surprised expression was as if they had discovered a rare treasure in the world. Afterwards, Ai Jiao looked at Qianqian full of anticipation, carefully asking: "Qianqian, can I touch this lantern?"

Qianqian then nodded generously, indicating agreement, and smilingly said to Qi Xi: "Xi Xi, you also quickly come touch it!" Qi Xi, after getting permission, immediately beamed with joy, hurriedly responding: "Okay okay!"

Just like this, Ai Jiao and Qi Xi extended their small hands together, gently stroking the lantern emitting a warm glow, their eyes showing full affection, simply reluctant to put it down.
