She's waiting for me there.

Chen Yun looked at the pitiful appearance of the girl being captured by Qingxue, and secretly stuffed a piece of fried meat into her mouth. Only then did the girl willingly let herself be taken away.

When he came out of the kitchen, Qingxue was already preparing the meat filling.

"Qingning, don't cut the chives yet. You can make the three-fresh filling after dinner. Go and take a rest. I'll take care of the rest."

Chen Yun took out all the ingredients from the refrigerator and took out a can from the refrigerator.

"It's Chinese New Year today, let's give Brother Seven an extra meal as well."

Qing Ning corrected her, "We are a little female cat. Don't call us "Seven Brothers" all the time. It won't like it."

"Meow~" Xiaoqi called out in agreement and rubbed against Qingning's arms.

Chen Yun has always been puzzled as to why Xiao Qi is so attached to limes. He searched online but couldn't find the reason.

On the contrary, most cats at home are very close to their male owners, which seems to be because women have higher-pitched voices.

But Xiaoqi is a little opposite. Since the day he came, he has been particularly close to Qingning and has always seemed unfriendly to himself.

He patted the cat's head and said jokingly, "Calling him Brother Qi is quite easy. How about calling him Old Seven from now on?"

"No, it sounds terrible." Qingning took the can and opened it. Xiaoqi jumped up and down and circled around her, extremely happy.

"Eat quickly." The girl stroked its little head twice and placed the food bowl near it.

Xiaoqi was lying beside the basin, eating happily with a grunt.

In the evening, the sunset glow in the sky is gradually submerged by the darkness.

Qing Ning took a small stool and sat by the window, with her hands on her chest, staring intently at the fireworks in the distance.

When colorful fireworks bloom in the sky, the girl's eyes will reflect those brilliant lights.

"Wow, it's beautiful, but not as beautiful as the one Chen Yun set off at the amusement park last time."

Qing Ning muttered softly, but still watched very seriously.

She had never watched fireworks from such a high floor and at such a close distance before.

Even though people set off fireworks during the Chinese New Year, she and her sister had no interest in seeing the scenery outside.

In the past few years, we have celebrated New Year's Eve together, with only two simple dishes and some vegetarian dumplings.

The two sisters would eat dumplings earlier than other people, after all, Qingxue had to go to work the next day to get double pay.

So Qingning would be very sensible and say that she was sleepy, asking her sister to cook dumplings early, and then go to bed after eating.

When she was lying in bed alone, she would secretly lift a corner of the curtain and secretly watch the fireworks blooming outside.

After a few glances, she would lie down on the bed.

Because she was afraid to see too much, she understood one thing at a very young age: these overly gorgeous things would never belong to her. No matter how much she saw, it would only increase her fantasy. When she returned to real life, the huge sense of gap would make her uncomfortable for several days.

At this time, Xiaoqi jumped onto Qingning's shoulders, perhaps sensing the girl's emotional changes.

It seemed particularly quiet, just squatting there silently accompanying the girl.

Chen Yun came out of the elevator holding a box of fireworks: "Qing Ning, I found these downstairs. The old man bought a lot. Do you want to go with me to set off fireworks?"

"Now?" The girl hadn't recovered from her previous emotions yet and looked a little lonely.

"Yeah, it's more interesting to watch it when you light it yourself."

Qingxue came over with a scarf and coat and carefully helped her put them on.

"Go ahead, we'll eat when you come back, there's no rush."

"Sister, aren't you coming with us?" Qing Ning asked, looking up.

Qingxue pinched her little face and said, "I won't go. The sound of firecrackers outside is too loud. It's not good for the baby in my belly."

"Oh, I'll go then."

The girl followed Chen Yun, and the two of them arrived at a small square used for setting off firecrackers. The square was already crowded with people.

Many children were dancing and placing firecrackers and fireworks on the ground, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

After carefully lighting the fuse, they will run away quickly, and with the sound of "crackling", the fireworks will bloom with colorful lights in the air.

At this time, they would cheer and laugh one after another.

Children who are a little braver will come closer to see the gorgeous fireworks, while some will hide behind their parents, sticking their little heads out to look up at the sky, their eyes also sparkling with joy.

Everyone's face is filled with beautiful anticipation for the New Year. At this moment, they forget all their worries and immerse themselves in the joyful atmosphere.

The girl looked at them with some envy. Every time she saw a similar scene, she would fantasize about becoming one of them one day.

Chen Yun finally found an open space, waved to the girl, and shouted, "Come here."

Qing Ning ran over happily and saw that he had already set up a big firework.

"Would you like to try lighting the fireworks yourself?" Chen Yun handed over a lighter.

"Is it okay?" The girl was eager to try it, but she still had an unknown fear of things she had never tried before.

"It's not dangerous. Just light the fuse and run away."

"Oh, then I'll try." The girl took the lighter and squatted near the fireworks.

"hiss--"

After trying several times, the fuse was finally ignited. Just when the girl was in a panic, a big hand took the girl and ran away.

"boom!"

Fireworks exploded in the sky.

The girl clapped her hands happily. She turned her head to look at Chen Yun, her eyes sparkling with surprise: "Thank you."

These two simple words contain so much emotion.

The girl looked at the colorful fireworks in the sky and leaned her whole body into his arms.

Chen Yong wrapped the girl with his coat, hugged her gently from behind, and rested his chin on the girl's shoulder.

She said softly, "You're welcome. As long as you're happy, we can do more interesting things together in the future."

The heat lingered around the girl's ears, making her body feel as if it had been electrified, numb and tingling, very comfortable.

She tilted her head slightly, and her little face pressed tightly against Chen Yun's face. The two of them just watched the fireworks in the distance quietly, and no one spoke.

At this moment, the fireworks in the night sky became more and more brilliant and dazzling, and the girl felt that her life was also illuminated.

In this warm atmosphere, the two snuggled together, and her and Chen Yun's hearts were closer than ever before.

(PS1: Thank you to the reader "蚊子噬zc" for the generous reward. I was planning to add another chapter tomorrow, but now there are some problems.

PS2: Due to some force majeure, this book is in an abnormal state again. The readers who have been with me all the way may have gotten used to it. As usual, I will continue to update the abnormalities. Those in the bookshelf can be read normally. I will write the additional chapters. I will probably spend the next two days revising the text. After a month of hard work, it is abnormal at the end of the month. Oh, my teeth hurt even more.)
