Upon hearing their conversation, Mo Xiaomeng looked around the gigantic square. It was a really humongous square that could hold thousands of people.

If thousands of people released Kong Ming Lanternsat the same time…

She thought about it. That scene would be magnificent!

Ye Sijue looked at her expression. He thought that her slightly opened mouth and her sparkling eyes looked cute and asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Mo Xiaomeng returned to her senses. "See what?"

"Kong Ming Lanterns."

Mo Xiaomeng understood what he was trying to say and shook her head quickly. "There"s no need! Actually, we can just buy a few each and release them. It wouldn"t be good for the environment if so many people released them, right?"

And it was so expensive!

It would cost tens of thousands of dollars just to release some Kong Ming Lanterns once. It seemed wasteful.

Ye Sijue replied, "Releasing Kong Ming Lanterns does have a little impact on the environment, but since this is a traditional activity here in Nanxiang Old Town, the relevant authorities have set up precautionary measures, so it won"t be a problem. Whatever makes people happy goes."

Mo Xiaomeng continued to shake her head. She was afraid that if she relented he would really spend money to buy all the Kong Ming Lanterns so that everyone could release them.

It would be a beautiful sight, but she thought about it and decided to pa.s.s.

"Aish, this square is a little too big, isn"t it? We"ve been walking for a while now so why haven"t we reached the end?" Han Qiqing complained.

Song s.h.i.+jun said, "How can it fit so many people if its not big?"

"Can"t I do that? Go away, I don"t want to talk to you!" Han Qiqing gave him a disgusted look and even aimed a kick at him so that he wouldn"t be able to go near her and Xiaoxiao and could only keep his distance.

Song s.h.i.+jun looked aggrieved.

With her arm around Xiaoxiao"s, Han Qiqing took two large steps forward and left him behind.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at them, amused.

She suddenly thought of something. Looking at Han Qiqing, she leaned close to her ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Qiqing, there"s something that I should have told you. I"m sorry it took so long for me to."

"What is it?" Han Qiqing blinked and looked at her, puzzled.

Mu Xiaoxiao tightened her hold on her hand and paused before saying, "It"s about Lu Yichen…"

Han Qiqing"s expression underwent a change instantly.

"Xiaoxiao, you don"t actually have to force yourself. You don"t have to tell me about it. I"m not related to him, and I don"t have to know about whatever he does and where he is now," Han Qiqing was smiling as she said this, but her eyes were trying to hide her pain.

Mu Xiaoxiao said directly, "He"s gone to America with his mother for her treatment."

Han Qiqing was shocked. "Ah? What happened?"

Mu Xiaoxiao didn"t feel like she should talk about Mama Mu"s illness, so she only said, "I didn"t tell you about this before because I thought that this was between Lu Yichen and I. Later, I called him and asked about it, and he said that I could tell you. Afterwards I tried to find you in school to tell you, but some stuff happened and I let it drag until now. Sorry, Qiqing."

"Oh, so that"s it…" Han Qiqing smiled at her. "It"s okay, what you did was right. How"s his mum"s condition right now? Is it serious?"

She had to go to America to treat her illness, so it should be very serious, right?

Mu Xiaoxiao hadn"t been contacting Lu Yichen these past few days and thus didn"t know the specifics.

"It"s not serious at the moment, so she wouldn"t be undergoing an operation so soon. I haven"t heard from him recently either. I"ll ask about it in a few days."
