Chapter 727: Extraordinary Performance

There were many people on the street, but the man was tall and handsome. The woman was tall too. When they stood in the crowd, they were still so eye-catching.

There were sellers who sold candied haws and all kinds of treats. There were also beautiful red lanterns hanging high up above their heads.

All sorts of bright colors clashed with each other, making the scene look as beautiful as a movie.

Yi Juncheng observed Sheng Yang’s reaction and said, “If you think it’s too noisy here, we can leave.”

“I won’t.” Sheng Yang pointed at the lion dancers on the other side. Although there wasn’t much expression on her face, her eyes were especially clear and as pure as a child’s. “I want to take a look over there.”

“Okay.” Yi Juncheng took her hand and walked in front with a smile. “There are many people here. Be careful not to get lost.”

Unlike the people around her who were cheering, Sheng Yang was very quiet, but she was also very focused. She only clapped at the end of the performance.

This was her personality, but it wasn’t that she didn’t like the performance. The light in her eyes was always very bright.

Yi Juncheng stood beside her and said with a smile, “When my parents were still around, I was a naughty child and often sneaked out to this street to play alone.”

“Naughty?” Sheng Yang looked at him in surprise, finding it hard to associate him with a word like that.

When she first met Yi Juncheng, he was cold and heartless. After experiencing so many things, his eyes were not filled with vicissitudes but endless darkness, like the deep sea. His eyes contained suffocating darkness that could not be fully explored.

Hence, she could not imagine him as a naughty child.

“At that time, there were even more people on this street. The internet wasn’t popular yet, and people didn’t have many forms of entertainment. When they had nothing to do, they would come to the streets to play. I was always locked up at home by my parents, and they hired the best tutors for me. But I didn’t have any friends, and I didn’t have freedom either. They said it was for my own good, but I couldn’t understand their intentions. That’s why I would sneak out and mingle with other children. I got to know many people that way. It was a very happy time for me.”

Sheng Yang gently squeezed Yi Juncheng’s hand. She rarely heard him talk about the past, as though he was someone who only had the present and the future. So when she heard him talk about it now, she was actually very touched.

In the end, Yi Juncheng lowered his voice. “Now that I think about it, I actually regret not listening to them properly. If I had been more obedient when they were alive, would they not have been so troubled?”

“They’ve never blamed you.”

Yi Juncheng looked at her. “How do you know?”

He had a rare childish and stubborn expression.

Sheng Yang curved her lips and said seriously, “I always get full marks and am good at everything, so I know everything.”

“That’s true.” He smiled. The performers happened to throw a lot of small gifts into the crowd. Yi Juncheng opened his hand at that instant and quickly closed it, catching an item firmly. He brought it to Sheng Yang and opened his hand. It was a very beautiful small lantern. It was fiery red and had carvings. The craftsmanship was vivid.

Sheng Yang took it and held it up. It was very small, which was suitable for her.

She put it in her pocket and carefully kept it.

“What are you doing?” Yi Juncheng found her small action funny.

“These are the regrets and unhappy things you told me just now. I’ll keep them for you and hide them. Those things can’t be changed, but we can choose to forget them.”
