Chapter 314: Night of the Dragon and Fish Dance (2/2)

Bai Luochu could sense the feelings Pei Qingfeng had for her and she knew that she had feelings for him as well. She was merely unwilling to admit it. She didn’t wish for the disaster in her past life to happen again and she kept denying her feelings for him. She kept retreating and finally realized that she was at a dead end. She discovered that the wall stopping her was one she had built around her heart and it wasn’t as indestructible as it seemed. Just a mere push caused the wall to collapse. The jealousy she felt when she saw Pei Qingfeng and Ling Xian’er on the other boat caused her to topple the wall herself. Bai Luochu finally noticed her feelings for Pei Qingfeng.

Isn’t it too late… Because of my cowardice, Pei Qingfeng no longer has the courage to pursue me...

When Pei Rumo saw Bai Luochu’s confused expression, he knew that she was thinking of Pei Qingfeng. He sat there silently as he sipped on his wine only to discover that it tasted a little bitter.

Will she even bother looking at me? If she turns to look at me, does that mean I will have the opportunity to pursue her?

As the fireworks ended, a sombre atmosphere descended on the two boats.

“Divine Physician Bai, look up to the sky. The sky lanterns have already been set off.” Pei Rumo wanted to shift Bai Luochu’s attention and tried to interrupt her thoughts.

“It’s really pretty.” Bai Luochu replied half-heartedly.

It was indeed beautiful as countless sky lanterns rose into the sky. It seemed as though they wanted to compete with the stars in the starry night as they flew higher and higher into the sky. Every single lantern contained the wish of potential couples and it was a breath-taking scene.

Apart from the sky lanterns, the surface of the lake was filled with colored lamps. The countless lanterns and lamps contained endless wishes as they drifted towards the unknown.

It was a night where the dragons danced in the sky as fishes waltz in the lake. When the colored lamps finally cleared, the sky was no longer filled with sky lanterns. The night eventually passed and Pei Rumo escorted Bai Luochu back to the general’s residence.

Before leaving, Pei Rumo didn’t forget to leave behind a few words. “Luo Chu, it is truly fortunate that we can go boating together on the Colored Lantern Festival. If there is a chance in the future, let’s go to other amazing places.”
