After all that, this "gifting colorful lights" event turns out to be just a message in a bottle activity?

People going upstream would write their thoughts on slips of paper, place them inside colorful lanterns, and then swim downstream.

After finding it, you can choose to answer the questions above or not.

"It's starting! It's starting!"

Qian Qiye's voice rang out.

Indeed, many colorful lanterns appeared at the upper end of the river, accompanied by faint candlelight, making it extremely beautiful.

The crowd started picking up the colored lights.

Qian Qiye was the most excited.

"Wait for me!"

Liu Qingfeng hurriedly went downstairs.

Lu Changsheng followed them down.

Colorful lanterns floated down the river, and many people began to collect them.

Soon a colorful lantern landed in front of Lu Changsheng. He picked it up gently and then took out the note attached to the lantern.

To be honest, I'm still a little excited.

After all, this sense of mystery is something to look forward to.

Which family's young lady is she?

Lu Changsheng was filled with anticipation.

However, Lu Changsheng's expression changed slightly after unfolding the note.

It's red ink.

In other words, it belongs to a man.

It feels like we've gotten off to a bad start.

Return the note intact.

Lu Changsheng picked up another colored lantern.

I opened it with great anticipation, only to find it stained with red ink again.

Another man?

Lu Changsheng simply threw the note away, too lazy to even put it back.

The third one.

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

He took out the note and looked at it.

It's still red ink.

Now it was Lu Changsheng's turn to feel a little depressed.

Does that mean I'm attractive to both men and women?

Shaking his head, he dismissed the idea; Lu Changsheng would never develop Dragon Yang Preference.

The fourth one!

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, picked up the note, and slowly opened it.

Kindness.

It's still red ink.

It was written prominently above.

[Who are you?]

It is filled with boundless expectations and has a poetic and picturesque feel.

Lu Changsheng was already in despair.

I'm just really unlucky.

They're all men?

Could it be that I used up all my luck while solving the riddle?

Impossible!

It must be that God didn't want me to be with those ordinary, unattractive women, which is why He rejected me.

Right!

That's it.

Lu Changsheng put the note back.

But the more I thought about it, the more something felt wrong, and the angrier I got.

Lu Changsheng retrieved the note, picked up the small pen on the colored lantern, and left a message directly on it.

[Who are you?]

[Your dad!]

Lu Changsheng left those words behind and put it back.

Since we don't know who did it anyway, if I'm unhappy, then nobody else should be happy either.

"Senior brother, senior brother, I feel like my luck with love has turned around! I picked up three lanterns in a row, and they were all lanterns that women had placed their hopes on!"

Perhaps feeling that Lu Changsheng's resentment wasn't strong enough, Liu Qingfeng said excitedly from the side.

Lu Changsheng glanced at Liu Qingfeng but said nothing.

Instead, he picked up another colored lantern.

Yes, as expected.

He's still a man.

What do you think I am?

The red lettering was particularly glaring.

The question, "What do you think I am like?" is filled with boundless anticipation.

If a woman were to find it, she might leave a comment. "A witty and talented man."

Lu Changsheng picked up the small pen.

He left behind a single sentence.

You're such a fool!

I don't know if people in this world can understand the term "sand sculpture".

As long as I'm comfortable, that's all that matters.

But in the end...

Lu Changsheng glanced at Liu Qingfeng beside him.

Then another line was added.

[You're like a silly goose— Liu Qingfeng!]

Ugh, I don't know why!

My mood instantly improved a lot.

Very good!

Very nice!

That's the feeling.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was in an extremely good mood.

Lu Changsheng even had more and more fun as he played.

The fifth colored lantern.

The lanterns are still for men.

A question was raised.

I feel like my life is completely bleak. What do you think?

Lu Changsheng picked up his pen and immediately wrote a reply.

I think you're absolutely right! —Liu Qingfeng

Wow, that feels so good!

The sixth colored lantern.

Is it really true that hard work can't compete with genius?

Lu Changsheng answered in writing without hesitation.

[If hard work were effective, what would be the point of genius? — Liu Qingfeng]

Lu Changsheng's smile deepened considerably.

The further they went, the more excited Lu Changsheng became.

Why do I always encounter so many setbacks in my life?

Look in the mirror more often, and you'll see why. —Liu Qingfeng

There are many things in this world that money can't buy.

That's because you're poor— Liu Qingfeng

Should I find someone I like, or someone who likes me?

Wake up, nobody likes you. —Liu Qingfeng

Does being young really mean enduring more hardship?

[Of course, you'll get used to it when you get old. —Liu Qingfeng]

Lu Changsheng himself didn't even know how much he had written.

Anyway, the more I write, the happier I get.

A full hour later.

With virtually no colored lights falling down, Lu Changsheng finally stopped writing.

"Senior brother, why are you smiling so happily?"

Liu Qingfeng, standing to the side, looked at Lu Changsheng with some curiosity.

He noticed that Lu Changsheng had a smile on his face that lasted for an hour.

It's a rare sight on ordinary days.

"Senior brother is happy. Come on, Qing Feng, how many notes did you write?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Only seven or eight, not as many as my senior brother," Liu Qingfeng said with anticipation.

"By the way, when will they receive the colored lights?"

Liu Qingfeng asked Qian Qiye.

"These lanterns will travel down the river and reach the downstream end around dawn. At that time, someone will retrieve these lanterns, and the person who delivered the lantern will go to collect their lantern note."

"Qian Qiye replied."

Then she glanced at the sky and said, "We're almost at the last part. Come on, Master, let's hurry up. It won't be fun if we miss it."

Qian Qiye, full of playful spirit, dragged Lu Changsheng to the next place.

It has to be said that Lu Changsheng wanted to continue playing around, but after thinking about it, he figured he had written enough.

Lu Changsheng then followed Qian Qiye to the next location.

The final and grand finale of the Lantern Festival.

It was a poetry recitation competition.

If you win the prize, you will not only gain glory in front of countless talented people in the capital, but more importantly, you will also receive some substantial prizes.

The poetry recitation competition was held in the square.

At this moment, countless talented men and beautiful women have gathered, and the surrounding balconies are full of people.

The most famous is Riverview Tower.

"You're not going to let us just stand here and play, are you?"

Looking at the crowded square, Liu Qingfeng was taken aback.

"How could that be! Master, I have already arranged a private room at Riverview Tower. It can be a side room where we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food."

Meanwhile, Qian Qiye continued speaking.

"But Master, you don't know, this Riverview Tower is the most famous restaurant in the capital of our Great Qian Imperial Capital. Not only are the delicacies there the most exquisite, but the maids are also extremely beautiful. It's usually hard to get a reservation, let alone during the Lantern Festival. When I tried to make a reservation before, the manager was very rude, but I still managed to get a table in the end."

She said this.

"Why?"

Liu Qingfeng was curious.

"Although I am a princess, my father taught me from a young age that I must not abuse my power to bully others."

"So how did you manage to book it again?"

Liu Qingfeng asked curiously.

"It's very simple. Although I can't bully others, my older brother can. I had my older brother bring three thousand elite troops to Riverview Tower a few days ago. The owner was very nice and said that someone had to leave, so there was an extra private room for us."

Qian Qiye said earnestly.

Liu Qingfeng: ""

Lu Changsheng: ""
