Chapter 110 Fireworks
Chapter 110 Fireworks
As time slowly passed, Qingshui Town became particularly lively. I don’t know which wealthy family had been setting off fireworks for an hour every night at 11:00 PM for three consecutive nights.
Everyone was very excited, especially the children. Every child in the charity hall received new clothes and shoes. Jiu Gu Niang and Uncle Baozhu (Xiangliu here) gave red envelopes to each child. No child was willing to go to sleep. They were all looking forward to the fireworks at the hour of Hai. It was a splendor they had never seen before, like a sea of flowers blooming in a fairyland, or like stars in the sky falling in an instant. The short-lived splendor can make people remember it for a lifetime.
Xiaoliu was also here today. Usually, Xiaoliu often came here to see the children and occasionally acted as a medical teacher. Everyone happily called him Mr. Liu. Next to Xiaoliu stood a woman wearing a veil. Her white dress made her look out of place with everyone's festive red, but she didn't care at all. Her eyes never left Xiaoliu. Everyone could see that this woman admired Mr. Liu, and everyone tacitly agreed not to disturb her.
Ah Jiu grabbed Bao Zhu's arms, buried his head in Bao Zhu's shoulders, and trembled non-stop. It was so hard to hold back his laughter! Ah Jiu tilted his head slightly, his breath sprayed on Bao Zhu's Adam's apple, and said with a low laugh: "Your brother is really, haha, it's hard for him."
"You two are the only ones who can make such trouble!" Baozhu gently scratched Ajiu's waist. Ajiu was ticklish and twisted in his arms. Baozhu immediately withdrew his hand and dared not move.
"Yiying is really so domineering! You're a good sister!" Ajiu simply put her arms around Baozhu's neck, and they sat on the stone pier at the door, not caring about the worldly eyes, quietly watching the children playing, indulging in the simple fireworks of the world, and the years were quiet.
On the other side, Xiaoliu returned to the girl in white after distributing candies to everyone. He secretly used the clothes to block him and hooked his finger to the girl's hand, but the girl in white held his hand back.
"Girl, I haven't asked you what your name is yet." Xiaoliu smiled with her eyes curved, less carefree than usual, and now she showed a bit of the mischievousness and agility that only a young girl can have.
"Bai Xue!" Xiang Yao had no choice. He didn't want to use his male body to get close to Xiao Liu and let others misunderstand that Xiao Liu had a problem with her sexual orientation. He could only put up with it. After all, there would be a second time after the first time. Nothing was more important than being with her. They were going to get married soon, and he didn't want to leave her for a moment.
"It sounds so nice, just like you. Now that the snowflake has fallen into my palm, I won't let it slip away!" Xiaoliu clenched his hands tightly. The two looked at each other, their pupils reflecting each other. From then on, you have me and I have you.
"Miss Nine, I'm from Xiaxuan. Seeing it's so lively here, I came to join in. Miss Nine, I hope you don't mind?" Xuanxuan saw the laughter from afar. He had inquired about it earlier. This is the charity hall in Qingshui Town. He had heard that this charity hall has opened in every corner of the wilderness. They specialize in adopting homeless children, teaching them skills, and then they have to go out and support themselves after they grow up without receiving any rewards. Xuanxuan wondered if the person behind the scenes was crazy, but it was undeniable that this person was extremely rich. If Miss Nine could introduce him to someone, it would be a great help.
Ah Jiu didn't even raise her head, but her tone was a little annoyed: "I do mind it. Can't you see that I am being affectionate with my husband? It's immoral to marry a bad person!"
Xuanxuan wasn't annoyed, and continued to smile gently, but his tone was tinged with envy: "Ninth Miss and Brother Baozhu are truly in love. I've heard that this charity hall in Qingshui Town was the first to open one. Could it be that Ninth Miss is the boss behind it?"
"No comment! I'm about to make out with my husband. Boss Xuan, do you still want to watch?"
After saying this, Jiu hugged Baozhu and kissed him, completely ignoring Xuan's suddenly embarrassed expression.
Xuan forced himself to maintain a smile, said sorry and didn't bother him, then turned and left, secretly cursing the shameless pariah in his heart!
When he turned around to leave, he saw Wen Xiaoliu from Huichun Hall looking at him. He nodded slightly and left with Lao Sang.
Back at the wine shop, Xuanxuan felt increasingly irritated the more he thought about it. This feeling of being ignored was incredibly familiar. It was the most common treatment he had ever received since he was a child. No one looked down on him. Those noble families were fine, but who was she, the Ninth Miss? Talking to him was a sign of respect for her. What a rude, uncouth person!
"Old Sang, tell them to check on the woman next to Wen Xiaoliu. I've never seen her before. It's like she appeared out of thin air. Check on Ninth Girl and Baozhu as well."
"Yes!"
Inside the charity hall, Xiang Yao saw Wen Xiaoliu staring at the direction where Xuanxuan had left. He tugged at her hand and teased, "What's wrong? Do you want to go up and meet him?"
Xiao Liu rolled his eyes at him and said somewhat angrily, "I just wonder why I liked him so much before. Could it be that he also has the ability to confuse people?"
"Your deepest impression of him was your childhood. You thought you were the only family that depended on each other. You automatically overlooked his shortcomings, even making excuses for his cruelty in order to survive when he injured your leg and tortured you. You believed he wouldn't harm you after knowing your identity. So even if he killed Tu Shanjing, you would rather doubt me than him. But as a hostage from another country, he doesn't believe that being able to exploit everything he can is his nature, including family and love. He was unwilling to be a hostage for his entire life, so he had to do everything he could. Xiaoliu, it's my fault that I failed to protect you."
"You've done enough. Let's move on. I won't be soft-hearted. Believe me!" Xiaoliu's eyes were filled with determination.
Xiang Yao pulled her closer and whispered in her ear, "You're going to be my wife soon, so naturally I trust you."
"Now you are my wife!" Xiaoliu put his hands on his hips and looked very arrogant!
"I'll keep it for you, and I'll get it back on our wedding night. Don't beg for mercy then!"
Xiao Liu's ears turned red when he heard this, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "Who's afraid of who? Don't surrender first when the time comes! I, I've learned this before!"
"Learn? From whom? Yan Mo? I'm looking forward to it!" Xiang Yao approached Xiao Liu step by step. Xiao Liu was so scared that she almost fell down! She had never asked Yan Mo about these things, she just said them nonsense! She really wanted to slap herself in the face, how could she say such nonsense!
"Bang..." As the first firework bloomed, more and more fireworks exploded in the night sky, covering Qingshui Town with a colorful night robe. People cheered and rejoiced. Some watched quietly, some sang and danced, some made wishes secretly, and some clung to each other...
This New Year is very special...
