I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

If the room were brighter, Liu Nanjia would have noticed that Song Chen's ears were bright red, as if they were about to bleed.

But she was too oblivious to notice.

Shake your head to clear your mind, then turn around and find that your brother and sister are not there.

He asked, "Where are my brother and Sirou?"

"Sirou is asleep too. I took her to her room to sleep. Your brother..."

Thinking of Liu Yanxi's appearance just now, Song Chen was unsure whether to speak or not, but in the end decided to save face for him.

"Yan Xi was a little drunk, so I let him go and rest."

"Oh, looks like my brother can't hold his liquor." Liu Nanjia hadn't realized that she had also fallen asleep due to the effects of alcohol. "And you, are you alright?"

As she spoke, she leaned closer, wanting to see if Song Chen's face was red.

Song Chen was startled by her sudden close approach, and his ears turned even redder.

"I...I'm fine."

Now Liu Nanjia could see his red ears, but his face was fine. "Other people's faces turn red when they drink, why are your ears red?"

Song Chen didn't know what to say.

Liu Nanjia had already moved back over there, and when she heard the sound of firecrackers outside, she became excited: "Let's go set them off too!"

In later cities, most cities have banned the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, and she hasn't played with them in a long time.

So when I saw it at the market that day, I bought a lot of it.

Although it can't compare to the many variations of later generations, it's still enough to get your fill.

Song Chen was very glad that this girl was so easygoing. Seeing that she had changed the subject herself, he was naturally very happy.

He breathed a sigh of relief and followed Liu Nanjia out into the courtyard.

Seeing Liu Nanjia picking and choosing among the firecrackers and fireworks she had bought, looking somewhat at a loss.

He stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

Liu Nanjia was indeed a little unsure how to set off these ancient firecrackers, so upon hearing this, she handed them over to Song Chen.

Ultimately, she just wanted to experience the atmosphere and watch the fireworks.

Liu Nanjia didn't expect that the fireworks were already so well made by this point.

With a loud "bang," bright flames shot into the air, bursting open in the sky, and then, like falling meteors, traced graceful arcs before disappearing.

In the flickering firelight, Liu Nanjia watched the boy busy setting off fireworks ahead, and a feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.

It's impossible not to feel tired after being here for six months.

Especially considering that she sees herself as an adult and is responsible for taking care of her younger sister, Liu Sirou,

There's also Liu Yanxi, who is nominally the older brother but is actually treated as the younger brother.

Although Song Chen was only one year older than Liu Yanxi, she always felt that he was more mature.

I had noticed before that he had actually done a lot for the family without anyone noticing.

After starting her business, he became her right-hand man; she absolutely couldn't have managed it all by herself without him.

Liu Nanjia thought about all sorts of things, and suddenly realized that she had been staring at Song Chen for a long time.

He quickly looked away and pretended to be focused on watching the fireworks again.

Unbeknownst to her, after she shifted her gaze, the boy's back shifted slightly, as if he had finally relaxed.

Song Chen felt that Liu Nanjia was finally no longer looking at him, so he turned his body slightly to the side.

Watching the girl's face flicker in and out of focus amidst the glow of the fireworks.

Suddenly, I realized that the girl had matured a lot since I first arrived here.

He was no longer as thin and pale as before, and he had grown taller, reaching about shoulder height.

On New Year's Eve, a boy and a girl stood in the courtyard, one pretending to watch the fireworks, and the other hiding in the shadows.

Unbeknownst to either of them, some feelings were quietly sown.

"Sister, why didn't you call me when you set off fireworks?"

Liu Sirou's voice suddenly appeared, and the two of them snapped back to their senses.

Liu Nanjia suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Well, you were asleep, weren't you? I was worried you'd be tired during the day."

Liu Sirou wasn't really complaining. Seeing the fireworks still going off, she immediately cheered happily, "Sister, are these fireworks? This is the first time I've ever seen them!"

"Yes, my brother said I was wasting money when I bought it. Isn't it pretty?"

"It's beautiful and beautiful!"

"Then go and call your brother and see if he comes to see you. If he's sleeping too soundly, then forget it."

Since Liu Sirou is already here, one more won't make much difference.

"Then, Brother Chen, don't let go yet, wait for me to come back."

Liu Sirou called out to Song Chen, and only after receiving a response did she run back into the house.

Not long after, Liu Yanxi also came out. The noise outside was so loud that he was not sleeping soundly and was woken up by Liu Sirou's call.

Upon seeing the fireworks, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they immediately joined Song Chen in setting off fireworks.

The commotion at their house attracted many villagers to come over.

Fireworks are a luxury for most villagers.

It costs so much money, and it'll be gone in a short while, so nobody buys it.

At most, we'll buy some firecrackers to set off.

Fireworks have been so popular since ancient times, so they must have their own charm.

As soon as Liu Nanjia and the others released the goods, the villagers who saw them naturally gathered around.

So Liu Nanjia opened the courtyard gate, and Liu Sirou saw that many of her classmates had come, and she started showing off to them.

Only after all the fireworks had been set off and the last few firecrackers had been lit did everyone reluctantly head back.
