Chapter 1790 - 1792: So Lucky
Seeing that the prize was a pair of jade hairpins, Yang Dong really wanted them because he knew what that pair of jade hairpins represented.
His third brother and third sister-in-law had a pair of such matching rings.
But he also knew that he couldn’t get that pair of jade hairpins because this was a lantern riddle activity, not work. If it were work, he would rush over without a second thought, but this guessing lantern riddles is the domain of scholars, which he just couldn’t do, he really couldn’t.
He glanced back at Li Chuntao and saw Li Chuntao’s eyes staring at the jade hairpins.
He thought to himself that Li Chuntao probably liked those jade hairpins, and later he would buy such a jade hairpin for her that would look very beautiful in her hair.
At this moment, when Li Chuntao saw the hairpins, something flashed through her mind, something she wanted to grasp but couldn’t.
This kind of fleeting situation had already happened several times, and each time it happened, her head would hurt.
She felt that this must be related to her lost memory.
She wanted to explore further, she wanted to get that hairpin.
Thinking this way in her mind, she did exactly that and lifted her leg to head toward the crowd.
Yang Dong’s hand was dragged because of Li Chuntao’s action and he immediately followed, realizing that she wanted that jade hairpin.
Although he didn’t know whether they could get that jade hairpin, since she wanted to participate, he would accompany her to go for that jade hairpin. If they truly couldn’t get it, he would buy it for her later.
The two of them lined up in the crowd.
...
Seeing that pair of jade hairpins, Xiaoxiao felt a bit eager. These were the times to join the fun and participate in the event. So she said, "Husband, let’s go participate too."
Saying this, Xiaoxiao pulled Yang Ming over, but her hand was held back by Yang Ming, who whispered in her ear, "Our fourth brother and Li Chuntao are in the crowd. We’ll just watch and not interfere. If you like that jade hairpin, I’ll buy it for you later."
After hearing Yang Ming’s words, Xiaoxiao scanned the crowd and indeed saw Yang Dong and Li Chuntao’s figures. She was very surprised; this kind of activity, Yang Dong shouldn’t participate, and Li Chuntao wasn’t the type to compete for glory, so she thought she could participate.
But thinking about it now, she really couldn’t participate. If she did, wouldn’t she and Yang Ming be exposed, leaving no chance for fourth brother and Li Chuntao to be alone? She had really been misled by the prize and had become a fool.
Her task was to assist, not to interfere, and she also had to stay here to prevent Alu from stirring things up.
But was it really okay for Yang Dong and Li Chuntao to participate in the event?
After much thinking, well, well, the important thing was participation!
...
Yang Dong and Li Chuntao went into the line in a daze like that.
By the time Li Chuntao came to her senses, Yang Dong had already gone to draw lots.
Yang Dong fumbled around in the box, feeling as if there was nothing, fumbled around again, and finally felt a piece of paper, took it out, and handed it to the person in front of the box.
That person opened the paper Yang Dong handed over, "Congratulations to the two of you, there’s writing on it, you can participate in the upcoming lantern riddle guessing activity."
At that moment, someone beside the person shook the box, searched inside, empty, and then exclaimed in surprise, "You two are really lucky, this is the last piece of paper and it has writing on it. Perform well in a while, maybe you can win the prize!"
