Chapter 196: Grabbing the Lantern
"Thank you."
Yun Xi thanked Song Lin first, then shook her head at Ying Tianchen, "I'm fine."
Ying Tianchen frowned and pulled Yun Xi to his side. He glanced at Song Lin, pursed his lips, and said thank you, "Thank you very much."
Song Lin opened his folding fan and shook it twice, calming himself down before pretending to speak casually, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
Yun Xi was very annoyed at this time. She didn't expect that she had taken a fancy to a lantern and guessed the answer to the riddle. But when she got the lantern, it was snatched away by someone.
It would have been fine if he had just snatched the lantern, but he actually pushed her, almost making her fall.
She looked at the person who stole her lantern and frowned slightly. It turned out to be Lu Peixiu, the eldest daughter of the Lu family whom she had just met not long ago.
I've seen her arrogance and domineering behavior before, but I didn't expect she would be able to rob things on the street.
Yun Xi's face turned cold. She said, "Give me back the lantern."
Lu Peixiu looked at the people around Yunxi. They were so busy grabbing the lanterns that they didn't notice Song Lin and the Mu family. She cursed them in her heart. But she didn't bother them. She was not someone who could be easily bullied.
As for Yun Xi and Ying Tianchen, she didn't know them. Although she saw that they had extraordinary temperaments, she didn't take them seriously. She had seen all the young men and women with status and position in the entire capital, but she had never seen these two people. She thought that they must be children of inferior families.
So she didn't take Yun Xi and Ying Tianchen seriously at all.
"I was the first one to see this lantern, and I asked the stall owner to keep it for me. It's mine, why should I give it to you?"
This lantern was indeed one she had her eyes on before, but she couldn't guess the answer, so she thought of finding help and asking the stall owner to keep the lantern for her first.
The stall owner wouldn't care.
When it comes to lantern riddles, whoever guesses the answer first gets the lantern. It's impossible to keep the lantern for someone else just because they like it.
But Lv Peixiu always relied on her father being the general of the Southern Expedition and she had practiced martial arts since she was a child, so she was used to doing whatever she wanted. When she saw a lantern she liked today, she didn't care whether the stall owner agreed or not, she decided that the rabbit lantern was hers, it was just a matter of time.
Who knew that in the short time she was looking for help, the rabbit lantern was won by someone else. In a hurry, he just grabbed it.
Yun Xi was amused by her self-righteousness. "I'm sure you know the rules of guessing lantern riddles. I guessed the answer, so the lantern should belong to me. I'll say it again, give the lantern back to me."
"No, I saw the lantern first, so it's mine."
Lu Peixiu felt that even if Song Lin and several other young men were there, as grown men, they would definitely not interfere in the drama of girls fighting over toys.
The girl in front of her, the Mu sisters, and Song Bingning, a few other weak women, combined, are probably no match for her, so she has nothing to be afraid of.
Yun Xi's face darkened and she said sternly, "Then don't blame me for being rude."
Lu Peixiu didn't take Yun Xi seriously at all and sneered, "I want to see how you can be rude."
Yunxiu narrowed her eyes slightly, and without further ado, she flashed in front of her, quickly grabbed her wrist holding the lantern, and squeezed it hard.
Lu Peixiu cried out in pain, and the lantern fell down. Yun Xi bent down and quickly caught the lantern.
Then, before the opponent could react, he gently pushed the person back and gave him a roundhouse kick.
There was another scream, followed by a bang, and the man was kicked into the middle of the street.
Passersby were so frightened that they all screamed and stepped back.
