There were so many fireworks that they lasted for half an hour, almost filling the entire yard. When people heard that there would be fireworks tonight, everyone in the village came.

On Christmas Eve, a joyous occasion, some are happy while others are sad.

The happiest person was undoubtedly the director. He hadn't spent a penny more to create a fantastic show, and the moment the fireworks went off, it instantly topped the trending searches.

Zhuang Yan bought a lot of things, including fireworks and sparklers, so that everyone on the show could play with them.

The originally dark and cold night became warm at this moment, and everyone had a great time. Apart from the sound of fireworks, there was only laughter.

Lu Yan stood at the doorway, looking up at the fireworks in the sky. In previous years, she would go to her mother's grave alone at this time of year, going in the morning and returning at night, cooking a bowl of noodles alone in the cold and quiet house.

But this year, Zhuang Yan was with her, made her a delicious apple cake, and even put on a fireworks show for her.

She turned her head casually and her eyes met Zhuang Yan's. She was watching the fireworks, and Zhuang Yan was looking at her.

Zhuang Yan asked, "Was the fireworks beautiful?"

Lu Yan nodded blankly.

In a corner where no one could see, Zhuang Yan held Lu Yan's hand.

A single word, a single glance, and in that instant, I felt as if my heart had been gently stung by a bee.

At the moment the fireworks rose and burst into bloom, Lu Yan saw herself in the eyes she had met countless times. Reflected in the afterglow of the fireworks, Zhuang Yan's eyes were exceptionally bright, and her reflection in his eyes was also illuminated. The next second, she heard Zhuang Yan say.

You are more beautiful than fireworks.

Everyone knew that the fireworks display was prepared by Zhuang Yan for Lu Yan, so everyone tactfully refrained from disturbing the two of them.

Jiang Ning and An Xinrong got together. In just a few days, they had experienced the same thing. The two, who used to dislike each other, now shook hands and made peace, and even felt a sense of sympathy for each other because they were in the same boat.

An Xinrong lit two sparklers with a lighter and asked Jiang Ning beside her, "Want some?"

Jiang Ning's personality is not as lively as An Xinrong's. Most of the time she is very quiet, and she only talks a lot when she is facing Zhuang Yan.

Without saying a word, Jiang Ning took the magic wand from An Xinrong and followed her to draw circles in the sky.

"Don't turn around, Zhuang Yan and the other guy are behind us," An Xinrong deliberately reminded them.

Jiang Ning gave her a cold glance.

Halfway through the game, An Xinrong couldn't help but sigh and asked directly, "On the last day of confession day, are you going to confess to Zhuang Yan?"

An Xinrong thought Jiang Ning wouldn't answer, but after a long while, she finally heard her speak.

"I will, consider it a final farewell." She knew Zhuang Yan would definitely reject her, but she still wanted to finish this last leg of the journey and give this relationship a proper ending.

An Xinrong got tired of standing, so she squatted down and looked at the light and shadow on the ground: "I can do that too. People need to have goals, just in case... Actually, compared to Lu Yan, I'm not bad, am I?"

Jiang Ning didn't indulge her at all: "There's a long way to go."

"Hey!" An Xinrong glared at her. "I'm already so upset. Can't you say something nice to comfort me? On the show, you all went on dates with Zhuang Yan except me. I was even thinking that after I returned to the show, I could go on a date with Zhuang Yan and see if I could change anything, but he didn't give me any chance at all. I finally like someone..."

An Xinrong's voice grew softer and softer until finally, a sob could be heard rising in her throat: "Compared to me, you're lucky. At least you dated Zhuang Yan, and you were his first love. Unlike me, I have nothing..."

She was indeed very lucky back then, but unfortunately she didn't have the ability to seize the opportunity.

Compared to An Xinrong, it's hard to say who will be luckier in the future. An Xinrong never dated Zhuang Yan, but she can still be friends with him. As for her, it's difficult to even see him.

Jiang Ning: "You cried?"

An Xinrong took a breath: "I didn't cry. It's just that the smell of fireworks was too strong and choked me. My throat is uncomfortable. I would never cry at a time like this. It would be too embarrassing."

Jiang Ning comforted her: "Actually, you're not bad either. You're beautiful, have a great figure, are independent and strong, and have established yourself in the entertainment industry through your own abilities. You've earned so much money and made a name for yourself without relying on your parents. You're already amazing. Besides, you can even cook now. I remember when you first appeared on the show, you didn't know anything. You couldn't clean, you didn't know how to use a rice cooker, and you couldn't even buy groceries... It's only been a short time, and you've learned so much. That's enough to show that you're very smart. You're still young, and there are countless possibilities for your future. It's not hard to find three toads, but why are you afraid of not finding a two-legged man? There are many good men in the world, and you'll meet one someday. Now you know how to distinguish between good and bad. Keep your eyes open and be careful in the future."

An Xinrong looked up and stared blankly at Jiang Ning. After a long while, she said, "You say I'm young? How old are you? You're only a year older than me. My future has countless possibilities, and yours will too. You're right, there are still good men in the world. It just takes time to meet them."

An Xinrong couldn't help but turn around and look at the two people behind her. Her eyes stung even more. "I was thinking before that it wasn't appropriate for Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan to be together. Lu Yan is such a capable woman, Zhuang Yan would definitely feel pressured. I would take advantage of that."

"If Zhuang Yan could be so easily taken advantage of, would you still like him?"

An Xinrong thought about it carefully and decisively shook her head: "No."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Yes, we like Zhuang Yan precisely because of his serious and steadfast attitude towards relationships. He won't be influenced by external factors. When he likes Lu Yan, he likes her completely as a person. He won't back down because of Lu Yan's strength, nor will he leave her because of her weakness. Zhuang Yan will only strive to improve himself. He won't feel disappointed or unbalanced. Even if he feels pressure, he will turn it into motivation and stand firmly by Lu Yan's side as he becomes stronger."

An Xinrong looked at the burnt-out fireworks on the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "I know."

Jiang Ning took out three sparklers again, lit them, and clenched her hands tightly: "Keep a calm mind, know when to advance and retreat, respect what you've lost, learn to let go, and may everything go smoothly for you and me."

The two women were speaking quite loudly, and their voices were broadcast live. They were speaking to themselves and to their viewers.

Is Zhuang Yan really that good?

[Actually, it's quite obvious. Apart from not being as good at making money as Lu Yan, there's nothing wrong with him. After so many days of live streaming, his emotions have remained stable. He can cook and clean, and he understands the hardships others face. He instantly noticed when Lu Yan was feeling unwell, which is very rare for a man. Not to mention his respect for elders and care for children. Seeing so many people in the village praising and liking him is enough to show that Zhuang Yan is a very good person. They've all genuinely met him.]
