"Hmm?!"
Qiao Zixuan's curiosity was piqued.
What surprise had Wang Yue prepared for her?
However, Wang Yue didn't give Qiao Zixuan a chance to ask, and directly hung up the phone.
This location was actually great.
Qiao Zixuan's home wasn't far from here, and if fireworks were set off here, she could see them perfectly.
After receiving Wang Yue's call, Qiao Zixuan became absent-minded, constantly looking out the window.
Mom Qiao asked, "Xuanxuan, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"
"Nothing."
Qiao Zixuan quickly shook her head and said.
She had a vague guess in her heart.
Could it be fireworks?
It seemed only fireworks could be seen from her home this late at night.
...
Zhou Dewen and Li Qian were having a lot of fun.
The two of them slowly got to know each other better.
After setting off all the fireworks they had.
The two of them came to the riverside together.
To set off the last box of firecrackers.
This box was torpedoes.
When Zhou Dewen was a child, he had used this thing to blow up a cesspool and almost got himself covered in excrement.
"You do it?"
Li Qian handed the lighter to Zhou Dewen.
Zhou Dewen took the lighter, lit the fuse, and then threw the torpedo into the water.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound came, and a splash of water erupted.
The power wasn't great.
Before long, the two of them had finished setting off all the torpedoes.
"That's it?"
Li Qian said, still wanting more.
"Gone."
Zhou Dewen shrugged and said.
He wondered if Wang Yue had fallen into the toilet, having been in there for nearly half an hour.
"Look over there, what are they doing?"
Li Qian pointed to a spot not far away.
Zhou Dewen looked over and saw five or six people continuously setting off box-like things by the river.
"Are they going to set off fireworks? So many!"
Zhou Dewen was a bit shocked.
Just then, his phone rang.
"Hello, Brother Yue?"
Zhou Dewen answered the call.
"Is Li Qian next to you?"
Wang Yue's voice came from the phone.
"She is, what's wrong?"
Zhou Dewen asked.
"See the fireworks by the river? Take Li Qian over there and let her have her fill."
Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Ah?!"
Zhou Dewen was so startled he stammered, "Brother… Brother Yue, are you saying that you bought them?"
"No, you bought them, to make Li Qian smile."
Wang Yue corrected him.
"Brother Yue, you're my real brother!"
Zhou Dewen said excitedly.
With such a brother, what more could one ask for?
After hanging up the phone.
Li Qian was still staring intently at the direction of the fireworks, her eyes filled with eagerness, as if she had already realized they were fireworks.
"Li Qian, let's go over."
Zhou Dewen said.
"Huh? Go over for what?"
Li Qian was momentarily stunned.
"Haven't you had enough yet? This time I'll let you have your fill."
Zhou Dewen said.
"You mean…"
Li Qian's mouth widened, enough to fit a duck's egg.
"Yes, I… prepared it for you."
After saying that, Zhou Dewen blushed slightly.
Fortunately, it was dark, so his blushing wasn't noticeable.
"Wow!"
Li Qian excitedly hugged Zhou Dewen.
"I've never set off this kind of fireworks before, thank you."
This hug made Zhou Dewen shy.
It seemed this was his first time hugging a girl.
Then he took Li Qian to where the fireworks were being set off.
Upon arrival, Zhou Dewen roughly counted over a hundred tubes.
"Holy crap, how much must this cost!"
Zhou Dewen's heart was trembling.
"Can… can I light them?"
Li Qian asked excitedly, looking at the neatly arranged rows of fireworks.
"Light… light them."
Zhou Dewen was momentarily stunned, then said.
By then, there were already many onlookers.
"Holy cow, what kind of family is this? Setting off so many fireworks at once?"
"I wish I had this much money, I'm so envious."
"Are you sure it's not a fireworks display?"
"Definitely not, fireworks displays have more variety, and they cost hundreds of thousands each year."
"They're lighting them, they're lighting them!"
As Li Qian lit the fireworks, the crowd became excited.
"Whoosh~"
A single firework shot out from a firework tube, soaring into the sky.
"Boom!"
The firework exploded, illuminating the sky, and countless people looked up at the blooming fireworks.
Many people took out their phones to take pictures and videos.
They wanted to preserve these fireworks on their phones forever.
Li Qian also stared blankly at the sky.
This was her first time setting off such large fireworks.
Then, the second firework flew into the sky and exploded, this time in a different color.
At first, they were launched one by one, then two, three, four at a time, making it impossible to keep up.
Li Qian finally snapped back to reality and, in a flurry, began to light the second firework tube.
This time, she lit three tubes in a row.
The continuous stream of fireworks attracted a large crowd.
Fireworks fade quickly, but at the moment of their bloom, countless people are mesmerized.
Qiao Zixuan, at home, also ran to the window.
Looking at the endless stream of fireworks.
She took out her phone and sent Wang Yue a message: "I see the fireworks, did you buy them?"
"Yes."
Wang Yue replied briefly.
Qiao Zixuan sweetly put down her phone, thinking that this big blockhead actually knew how to prepare such a surprise.
She stood there for ten minutes, and the fireworks were still going off continuously.
Qiao Zixuan was a bit surprised. How many fireworks had Wang Yue bought?
"I wonder which unfortunate big spender is being wasteful."
Dad Qiao said.
Mom Qiao nodded in agreement: "They've been setting them off for almost ten minutes, it must have cost a lot."
Another ten minutes passed, and the fireworks were still continuously exploding.
Qiao Zixuan's legs were getting sore from standing.
She quickly sent Wang Yue a message: "How many fireworks did you buy!"
"Let me calculate, 810 shots."
Wang Yue replied.
"!!!"
"My God, you nouveau riche!"
Qiao Zixuan was astonished.
810 shots, that must have cost tens of thousands of yuan, right?
However, besides feeling a bit wasteful, she surprisingly found it somewhat romantic.
...
This fireworks carnival lasted for a full forty minutes.
It was only because Li Qian later sped up the lighting of the fireworks.
Finally, after setting off all the fireworks, Li Qian was almost too exhausted to stand.
She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "I never imagined I'd be so tired from setting off fireworks that I'd collapse."
Zhou Dewen walked over and took out a tissue from his pocket, "Wipe your sweat."
Li Qian gave Zhou Dewen a look, "You didn't even offer to help me just now."
"I only had one lighter,"
Zhou Dewen said sheepishly.
Li Qian suddenly chuckled again, "But thank you anyway. You spent so much money on me right after we met, are you very rich?"
Zhou Dewen scratched his head and said, "It's not that much money, not really."
"Alright, don't be modest, I don't need your money."
Li Qian smiled sweetly and said, "Do you know why I like setting off fireworks?"
"Why?"
"Because fireworks fade quickly."
"Ah?"
Seeing Zhou Dewen's bewildered expression.
Li Qian smiled again, then leaned in and kissed Zhou Dewen on the cheek, "Regardless, thank you for today. Do you want to get to know me better?"
