“Let go,” Han Qiqing commanded.
Song s.h.i.+jun let go obediently.
Beside them, Mu Xiaoxiao was laughing. “Let’s get someone to help us take a group photo. How does that sound?”
“Sure!” Han Qiqing was the first one to raise her hands and agree.
The ability to take photographs was one of the greatest advances in technology. It could take a snapshot of a moment in time for people to look at and reminisce about in the future.
Mu Xiaoxiao found a pa.s.serby to help them take photos.
The six of them stood in a row. Behind them were the water lanterns they had released and beyond that was a large batch of released lanterns that looked very pretty.
The camera clicked.
The beauty of the moment was captured.
…
Because Yin Shaojie had not yet eaten, the group went to eat supper.
After supper, it was already 11 o’clock when they came out to take a walk.
However, there were still many people in the square.
Han Qiqing had on a cryptic expression as she smiled and said, “Walk on, walk on, let’s go and release Kong Ming Lanterns!”
“It’s so late already. Shouldn’t we go back to sleep?” Mu Xiaoxiao yawned. She leaned her face against Yin Shaojie, looking tired.
Han Qiqing urged, “We can go and sleep after releasing the lanterns. It’s the last day of Water Lantern Festival today. How can we not release Kong Ming Lanterns? And look, there are so many people releasing the lanterns.”
Kong Ming Lanterns floated up to the sky intermittently, lighting up the night sky.
“Alright, let’s do it then.” Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t want to spoil the mood and she saw that Xiaomeng looked like she was interested in it too.
Han Qiqing said deliberately, “It’s a pity that we won’t be able to see how spectacular it is when a few thousand people release Kong Ming Lanterns.”
Just then, Mu Xiaoxiao realized something. She looked towards a person in the near distance curiously, and said, “Is that person giving out Kong Ming Lanterns?”
Han Qiqing looked at the time and shouted excitedly, “It’s almost 11 o’clock!”
What’s up with 11 o’clock?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her, puzzled, before realizing that Qiqing was up to something.
“The Kong Ming Lanterns are here.” Song s.h.i.+jun took a few Kong Ming Lanterns and distributed it to the rest.
Han Qiqing urged anxiously, “Hurry, hurry! Hurry up and light them up! it’s almost 11 o’clock!”
“What’s up with 11 o’clock?” Song s.h.i.+jun asked. He was puzzled as well.
They had one Kong Ming Lantern to two people each. Mu Xiaoxiao obviously shared one with Yin Shaojie, while Mo Xiaomeng and Ye Sijue shared one, leaving the rest to pair up.
Mo Xiaomeng said, “I saw other people write their wishes on it. Should we do that too?”
“Yeah!” Mu Xiaoxiao said and nodded.
Han Qiqing was the only one who was concerned about the time and urged them to hurry, “Hurry up and write.”
“What about you? Are you not writing anything?” Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her.
“I’ve already done that for the water lantern. I don’t have to do it again, right?” Han Qiqing was indifferent to it. What she was concerned about was the scene that was going to come next.
“Alright, I’m done.”
Under Han Qiqing’s urging, the rest wrote down their wishes quickly.
Han Qiqing shouted, “s.h.i.+jun, light the fire!”
“Roger!” Song s.h.i.+jun lit every lantern.
They held up the Kong Ming Lanterns in their pairs. The lanterns heated up and rose up into the night sky.
“It’s 11 o’clock!” Han Qiqing shouted excitedly, “Let go, everyone!”
The six of them released their Kong Ming Lanterns, and they floated up to the sky lazily.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized that there were a lot of people on the square who were releasing Kong Ming Lanterns at the same time.
Thus, countless Kong Ming Lanterns floated up to the sky in unison.
People who hadn’t seen this sight in person wouldn’t never understand how beautiful the sight was.
