Meng Tao didn't notice them on the crowded bridge; she was excitedly holding a lantern, looking around.
Then, a burst of laughter came from the crowd. Yu Fanxin looked up to see a young couple standing on the bridge. The man was holding a peach blossom lantern, trying to give it to the girl opposite him, which set off teasing from the surrounding onlookers.
In Yueyang, the people are open-minded; there are no strict rules regarding interaction between men and women, especially on a day like the Lantern Festival. The bridge beneath them is Lover's Bridge, where such courtship events often take place.
Curious, Meng Tao stood in the crowd, watching the spectacle. Yu Fanxin saw this and did not intervene, thinking there was no harm as long as Meng Tao was just being playful and didn't cause trouble.
