Chapter 175 That Rabbit Lamp is so ugly (1)
Li Ansu was very unhappy today because her boyfriend Qu Xingmu, who had promised to spend the holiday with her, stood her up again.
When Li Ansu saw the other party’s circle of friends and found out that he had gone to the lantern festival exhibition again, he was furious.
Yes, yes, it is important to participate in the lantern festival exhibition, but every year he promised to accompany me, but he always broke his promise.
If you are really that busy, you can just not make an appointment with yourself or reject my own invitation. Why do you break it every year?
Especially after seeing the silhouette of Qu Xingmu’s senior sister Shang Manqing in his friend’s photo, Li Ansu felt even more uncomfortable.
These two people called each other junior brothers and sisters, and they were almost closer than their childhood sweetheart and girlfriend.
Unable to bear the rage for a moment, Li Ansu simply ran directly to the lantern show to find Qu Xingmu.
What does he mean?
Li Ansu met Shang Manqing as soon as he arrived at the venue and before he met Qu Xingmu.
"It's Ah Su! Xingmu is busy, you wait for him here!" Shang Manqing said to Li Ansu with a smile, "Sometimes I envy you, just focus on studying, it's different when you have a good family background.
Unlike me, I can only learn how to make lanterns from Uncle Qu. When I chat with Xingmu, I can only talk about the making of lanterns. "
After hearing this, Li Ansu did not say anything.
The Li family and the Qu family are neighbors.
She and Qu Xingmu grew up together.
Qu Xingmu loved making lanterns since he was a child. The first gift he gave to Li Ansu was a rabbit lantern he made himself.
It’s just that Qu Xingmu was still young at the time and didn’t have much strength in his hands, so the frame of the lamp was slightly deformed. But because it was a gift from him, Li Ansu has always kept the rabbit lamp.
Even though Qu Xingmu later made many lamps and gave them to Li Ansu, they could not replace the rabbit lamp.
Shang Manqing's real name is Shang Huan, and the name "Manqing" was given to her by Qu Xingmu's father.
She was originally the child of a friend of Mu's father. The family was not well off and they only supported her until she finished junior high school but did not let Shang Manqing continue her studies.
Seeing that she was very skillful and young, Qu's father kept her in the Qu family's lantern workshop. At first she was an apprentice, but later he found that she was very skillful, so he simply accepted her as his disciple.
Shang Manqing is five years older than Qu Xingmu. Since she officially became Qu Xingmu's apprentice a year earlier, she is considered Qu Xingmu's senior sister.
Li Ansu became even angrier after hearing what Shang Manqing said.
Everyone knows that Qu Xingmu is a lantern fanatic! Apart from going to school, all his time and interest are devoted to lanterns.
There's nothing to talk about with Qu Xingmu? The only thing left is lanterns?
This is clearly a blatant show-off!
"Sister Shang, the Internet is very developed now. If you want to learn, you can start over." Li Ansu said meaningfully, "But if you don't want to improve, there is nothing you can do. After all, learning is up to the individual."
Shang Manqing was originally quite polite, but after hearing what Li Ansu said, her expression froze. However, she still suppressed her unhappiness and walked forward with Li Ansu: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you to see Xing Mu!"
Of course, Li Ansu didn't have anything more to say to this woman, so he just followed her.
Along the way, she saw many large and beautifully crafted lanterns. Seeing the people happily participating in the lantern festival, Li Ansu's mood improved a lot.
On the bustling streets, a large handmade floral lantern is particularly eye-catching.
It looks like a giant blooming flower and is undoubtedly a highlight of this lantern festival.
The main body of this lantern is crafted with exquisite craftsmanship, and the delicate petals are lifelike, as if swaying gently in the breeze.
Each petal is carefully cut and folded to present a natural and smooth curve.
The colors of the flowers are bright and eye-catching, and the layers between the petals are distinct and intertwined, creating a three-dimensional effect, making the entire lantern more vivid and lifelike.
The interior of the lantern adopts a special lighting design, and soft light shines through the gaps between the petals, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.
When the two people approached the lantern, they could smell a faint floral scent.
"This lamp is my junior brother's work for this exhibition." Shang Manqing said jokingly, "Before making this lamp, I accidentally knocked over the cologne you gave him last time, and it spilled all over the floor.
Xingmu came up with this idea when he smelled the fragrance. He used a special lighting technique to blend the fragrance into the lamp so that people who look at the lamp can also smell the fragrance. Isn’t this a good idea? "
"The cologne I gave him?" Li Ansu couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard this. "Didn't he say that he didn't like it and couldn't find it later?"
"Oops! I let it slip." Shang Manqing slapped himself and said, "Actually, he really likes the gift you gave him! It's my fault for being careless."
That expression is as innocent as it can be.
Li Ansu originally liked this lamp very much, but now it just seems disgusting to her.
"A Su, what are you doing? This lamp is the result of Xing Mu's hard work. Even if you are angry, you can't..." Shang Manqing suddenly grabbed Li Ansu's hand, as if she really wanted to destroy the lamp.
