A boy of seventeen or eighteen was growing the fastest in stature. He Chen pressed on Shen Lan's body, and it didn't take long for Shen Lan to feel a little out of breath, and his whole body began to writhe restlessly.

"do not move."

He Chen gestured for Shen Lan to calm down, but at this moment, Shen Lan was feeling very uncomfortable. He felt that half of his body was about to be numb.

You're making me so hard I can't breathe!

Shen Lan frantically expressed her silent protest with her eyes, even in order to break free from He Chen's shackles, she even took the initiative to stick out the tip of her tongue to hook Wu's palm on his mouth.

The wet touch made He Chen tremble immediately, he turned his head to look at Shen Lan, but met those sly eyes.

Still not letting go?

The dexterous tip of the tongue slid across He Chen's skin unscrupulously, as if He Chen would not stop until He Chen let go.

In the close distance, the breathing of the two people became clearly audible.

Shen Lan's sudden behavior originally just wanted to tease He Chen and let him get off his body, but when this kind of action was really put into practice, a strange feeling spread from his heart.

The two of them have known each other for less than half a year, but Shen Lan feels that He Chen looks more and more beautiful, whether it is a tall nose bridge, deep eyes, or thin pale pink lips, even for Shen Lan's picky aestheticHe also had to admit that He Chen's appearance could indeed be called perfect.

So perfect... that it made his heart beat a little faster.

What was he thinking about?!

Shen Lan frantically shook her head, shaking out those ghostly thoughts from her brain.

Seeing that He Chen didn't respond, just as he was about to raise his leg to kick him down, the sudden touch on his thigh made him stop abruptly!

He Chen was also keenly aware of this, and he turned his head away from looking at Shen Lan's eyes. The person who was always calm, his earlobe was also stained with a little crimson at this moment.

Although the haunted house scene is horribly arranged, it is only an adventure game after all.

The staff member playing the role of the ghost bridegroom danced around the room for a few minutes before leaving voluntarily, and at the same time the repeated etiquette words finally stopped.

The surrounding space became extremely quiet again, He Chen opened the curtains and got off the red wedding bed, searched around the bed, and finally found the bride's wedding shoes under the bed.

Ever since the two of them left the wedding room, Shen Lan became very silent.

He Chen thought that what happened just now made Shen Lan angry, that's why he kept silent, but he didn't know that the battle between heaven and man was going on in Shen Lan's mind at this moment.

Why is he reacting to me?This is not scientific!

Shen Lan gripped her fingers and thought hard, trying to figure out why.

Although he and I haven't known each other for a long time, and our relationship was tense at the beginning, but the problems were resolved later, and now we can be regarded as good brothers who share weal and woe.

But which good fraternity will have an inappropriate reaction to a buddy?

Could it be that he not only regards me as a good brother, but even... likes me?!!

No, no, no, it's impossible, how could He Chen like me, with his frigid appearance, he probably doesn't even know what he likes, the last time he said he likes Xiaohua, He Chen was still angry.

It must be for other reasons.

Shen Lan desperately recalled the scene just now, refusing to let go of every detail.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, and he slapped He Chen on the shoulder.

That's right, didn't he move just now because he felt out of breath because he was pressed down, so he moved to take a breath, it must have happened at that time, and the embarrassing scene must have occurred because of external factors.

This point of view successfully convinced Shen Lan, who was struggling, and let him breathe a sigh of relief boldly. He even managed to spare his thoughts to comfort He Chen in the opposite direction, expressing his understanding.

"It's okay, I understand, we are all brothers, I won't take it to heart."

He Chen: ...?

He turned his head to look at Shen Lan with the faint light, and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why he said those words.

Despite some hiccups in the middle, they managed to pass after half an hour.

The trio of forwards who ran to the exit early in the morning couldn't help applauding and cheering when they saw that the two of them had finally come out with the items to complete the task in their hands.

"Brother Shen is awesome!"

"The boss is still the boss. Under such circumstances, he still has the heart to complete the task. I admire him!"

"My elder brother Chen and elder brother Chen are definitely the strongest in psychological quality!"

"Okay, you guys are poor," Shen Lan threw the red hijab in his hand to Wan Ke, and then put his slightly trembling hands into his pockets calmly, "Hurry up and get the mission rewards!"

"Okay, let's go right away!"

Wan Ke happily took the red hijab to find the staff, and at the same time He Chen also handed the happy shoes in his hand to Zhao Wenjia.

A few people left the haunted house with prizes, just about to discuss where to go next, but Shen Lan suddenly said: "I won't go, I have to go home early today, that little guy Miaomiao is still at home alone, I don'tDon't worry too much."

"Don't, brother Shen, how long have you just been out to play!"

"It's finally a holiday on New Year's Day, so we have to have a good time, and there are fireworks by the river at night, so it's time to join in the fun."

"Hey, didn't you say that for the sake of environmental protection, fireworks are banned from this year?" Zhao Wenjia wondered, "I heard that this year, the riverside seems to be planning to light up lights."

"Looking at the lights is more interesting!"

Song Mian went to Shen Lan's side, bumped his arm and said, "Brother Shen, let's go together, at worst, bring Miaomiao together, so many of us are looking at her, we will definitely not let her get lost."

"Then... alright." Shen Lan couldn't stand the torture the most, he subconsciously glanced at He Chen, and nodded after seeing that he had no objection, "Then I'll take Miaomiao with me at night, it's agreed in advance, that little girl is making trouble, don't lose her to me."

"Don't worry, Brother Shen, let the lights go at night!"

With just a few words, the evening activities of several people were settled down.

Shen Lan went home and packed up Shen Jiamiao's bags, then took her to the agreed place by the river to meet up with the others.

Although the little girl loves to make trouble, she can't stand the fact that she is pretty and has a sweet mouth, and she has the ability to talk nonsense to others. It didn't take long to coax a few big boys into their hearts and lead her to run around the whole street.

Wan Ke and Song Mian could be considered to have watched Shen Jiamiao grow up since they were young. They are not like Shen Lan who cares about this and that, always running wild with the little girl, plus Zhao Wenjia, they are all interested in everything,It didn't take long before he disappeared.

He Chen didn't talk much, and although he wasn't disgusted with this lantern-setting activity, he didn't show much enthusiasm, but Shen Lan was very curious about it, and He Chen was willing to accompany him.

"Hey, He Chen, look at that, doesn't it look pretty!"

Shen Lan took He Chen's arm and led him to a small stall, pointing to the two little hedgehog lanterns beside him and said, "Although this shape is a bit special, it still looks cute."

"Hey, young man, you have a good eye. This lantern is the best one I sell, and many people like it."

"Look at the workmanship," the stall owner stood up from the saddle, picked up the lantern and handed it to Shen Lan, "The quality is absolutely guaranteed."

"I still have a pen and paper to make a wish. Look at the river bank over there, many people are making New Year's wishes. Before the river freezes, hope that all wishes will come true in the new year!"

Shen Lan couldn't deny the stall owner's remarks about selling lamps, but was quite interested in this wishing activity.

"He Chen, do you want to make a wish? It's quite fun to make a wish with a lamp."

"If you want to try it, then buy it."

"Come on, let's make a new year's wish together."

Shen Lan took two small hedgehog lanterns from the stall and handed them to the stall owner: "Just these two, I'll take them, and then use your pen and paper to make a wish."

"Alright, I'll help you assemble the lamp right now!"

The stall owner efficiently unfolded the lanterns laid flat in the package, and at the same time handed the pen and paper to Shen Lan.

"You two write first, the lanterns will be ready soon, and you can go to the river bank to put the lanterns on later."

There was a half-person-high wooden table next to the stall. Shen Lan tore off a piece of paper and handed it to He Chen with a pen, and then half-supported the table to think seriously.

What new year's wish do you make?

He thought for a while but couldn't come up with any satisfactory New Year's wishes. Seeing that He Chen next to him had already started writing, he poked his head over to take a peek at He Chen's wishes.

But before he could see the content on the paper, someone pushed his head and forced him to keep a distance.

"Student Shen Lan, peeking is not good."

"Who, who said that I peeked!" Shen Lan was caught by the snooping, and Shen Lan's ears blushed unconsciously, "I'm called a reference, understand?"

"Why did you make your wish so quickly, let me see what you wrote, maybe I can help you realize it..."

Saying that, Shen Lan wanted to grab He Chen's paper, but the other party quickly dodged it.

"Sneak attack?"

He Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, folded the wishing paper one by one in front of Shen Lan, and put it in his pocket.

"Tch, stingy," Shen Lan curled her lips, and had no choice but to suppress her curiosity, "If you don't let me see it, you won't let me see it, and even hide it on purpose, why, you won't make any eighteen forbidden wishes, right?"

"Don't think about it," He Chen smiled and rubbed Shen Lan's head, "Hurry up and write, the lantern set is ready."

"So fast?"

Shen Lan subconsciously turned her head to take a look, and saw that the two little hedgehog lanterns had been completely placed beside her, and she didn't have any thoughts on getting to the bottom of it, so she wrote down her New Year's wish in two or three, and then stuffed it into the lanternin a fixed position.

Although this year is the first time to organize a lantern event, the number of people on both sides of the river is still not to be underestimated.

Shen Lan and He Chen walked along the shore for a while before finding an empty place, and quickly squatted down with the lantern.

The two little hedgehogs floated steadily on the water. Shen Lan watched them drift away, as if taking his future hopes far away.

He Chen turned his head and looked at Shen Lan quietly, half of the young man's face was buried in the milky white scarf, his eyes became brighter and brighter under the night light, as if they were filled with thousands of stars.

The New Year's bell is about to enter the countdown, and everyone is looking forward to the new year.

5 4 3 2 1 ——

"He Chen, Happy New Year!!"

"Shen Lan, Happy New Year!!"

The cold wind of winter has turned into a melodious piece of music at this moment, and the sound of gurgling water has also become a pleasant ensemble.

The paper embedded on the lantern is blowing with the wind, and the content on the paper is faintly visible, but it floats into the distance with people's expectations for the future.

I hope that in the new year, I can truly have freedom.

I hope that in the new year, that tsundere little hedgehog can belong to me alone.
