Chapter 26 Fireworks Show

Luo Tingwei fell asleep on the sofa in the afternoon.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

She felt as if she had been transported to another world.

Uncle Zhong had already prepared dinner and invited her to eat.

On the dining table was a huge cake, so incredibly huge.

She was both surprised and delighted, and asked Uncle Zhong where the cake came from.

Uncle Zhong said that someone delivered it in the afternoon.

The cake read, "Happy Birthday to Laurinda".

There is also a heart.

Laurinda is her English name, and apart from her friends in the United States, very few people call her that.

Luo Tingwei was surprised; she hadn't expected that he would even know this name.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, seeing the cake still made Luo Tingwei happy. She lit the candles, made a wish, and cut a piece of cake for herself and Uncle Zhong.

Li Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Miss, let's cut a piece for President Li too. After all, this cake was sent by President Li."

"good."

So, Luo Tingwei cut a piece for Li Yanzhou as well and put it on a plate.

At least there was a cake, so this birthday was passable.

After clearing away the dishes, Li Zhong smiled and asked her, "Miss, what did you wish for on your birthday this year?"

She smiled and said, "It won't work if I say it out loud, Uncle Zhong."

Actually, what she wished for was freedom.

This is also her biggest wish at present.

Li Zhong patted his forehead. "That's right, it won't work if you say it out loud."

"But Miss, I wish you happiness forever and that you find someone who treats you well soon, so that Mr. Luo and his wife can rest assured."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhong."

Luo Tingwei smiled, and perhaps because it was too stuffy indoors, she turned and walked towards the balcony.

Uncle Zhong hopes she will find someone who treats her well soon.

Luo Tingwei sighed inwardly.

But the truth is, over the years, she has never fallen for anyone.

She attributed this to the fact that she was a very insensitive person, making it difficult for her to like someone.

...

Or perhaps, I used to like him?

She just forgot.

After all, the car accident five years ago almost cost her her life.

She is now essentially living a second life, reborn and starting anew.

"Bang--"

"Bang--"

Suddenly, a huge firework exploded in front of her, illuminating the night sky before her.

Then, one after another, they bloomed in the sky, dazzling and beautiful, like a magnificent dream.

Luo Tingwei looked up and was stunned.

Whose house is setting off fireworks?

What a dreamy and beautiful fireworks show...

Almost simultaneously, everyone in Black City looked up and stopped to watch the dazzling fireworks display overhead.

It lasted for a full twenty minutes.

The last huge golden firework exploded in the sky, like the sun suddenly rising, briefly turning the world into daylight.

When daylight transformed back into night, it surprisingly outlined the shape of a girl.

At the same time, several eye-catching characters hung high in the sky, dazzling and striking.

I love Laurinda.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder who this woman named Laurinda was.

"She's so lucky. Her boyfriend must love her very much."

People on the street sighed with emotion.

...

Luo Tingwei leaned quietly against the railing, enjoying the beautiful fireworks until they ended.

The final fireworks display ended with a dazzling and beautiful sky full of stars.

Luo Tingwei was unconsciously stunned.

When all the excitement subsided, she wiped her eyes and found that she was actually crying.

One drop after another, inexplicably falling down.

She turned her head and saw a figure behind her with his hands in his pockets, quietly watching her.

I don't know how long I've been standing there.

Do you like it?

Li Yanzhou's lips curved slightly, his voice gentle, "This is for you."

Luo Tingwei looked at him with slight surprise, a warm feeling unconsciously flowing through her heart.

"like."

Without hesitation, she said, this time, with completely undisguised sincerity, "I really like it, thank you."

"If you like it, that's fine."

Li Yanzhou walked towards her and reached out to touch her face. "I'm sorry I came back a little late. You're not angry, are you?"

"I'm very satisfied to be able to see such beautiful fireworks."

She spoke the truth.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Li Yanzhou pointed to an area in the courtyard and said, "Come and see, I brought you a gift."

So she followed them inside.

A box was placed on the marble floor.

"Open it and take a look," he gestured to her.

Luo Tingwei walked to the box, and for some reason, she vaguely felt that the box was moving, which was very strange.

The moment she opened the box.

A pair of bright, large eyes met hers.

The next second, a round little head appeared.

It was a dog!

In an instant, Luo Tingwei's heart almost melted.

How did you know I like Basset Hounds?

Li Yanzhou smiled meaningfully, "There are many things you don't know."

Luo Tingwei excitedly took the dog out of the box and stroked its long ears.

Basset Hound's ears are so long, they droop to the ground.

“I had a Basset Hound in the US, but she passed away, and I was heartbroken for a long time. In Blacktown, my dad is allergic to dog hair, so pets are not allowed on the estate…”

She seemed to be recalling past events, and began to ramble on to him.

Li Yanzhou told her that she could keep any pets she wanted here.

"Give her a name," he suggested.

Luo Tingwei glanced at him tentatively, "Should I get it?"

"Well, it's your dog, you decide."

As Li Yanzhou spoke, he went to the bar to pour drinks.

Luo Tingwei thought about it seriously and quickly came up with an idea, "Let's call it Rio."

The man sat down on the sofa, swirling his wine glass. "Is there any explanation?"

Luo Tingwei smiled mysteriously, "No, I just picked it up off the cuff."

Li Yanzhou took a sip of wine but remained silent.

Rio means river in Spanish.

Rivers, rushing and free.

That's probably what she wanted to express.

He doesn't blame her.

After all, he was the one who kept her by his side.

"Oh, right." She suddenly remembered something and pointed to the dining table, "I cut you a piece of cake and put it on the table. Remember to eat it."

"good."

The man readily agreed.

But in fact, he never eats sweets.

But there are always exceptions.

It was her birthday cake, and she cut it herself, so he didn't mind trying it.

Most importantly, she surprisingly thought of herself.

In an instant, everything that had been bothering him vanished.

A fireworks show and a dog are enough to make her so happy.

She's quite easy to please.

It's just a bit of a pity.

He prepared two fireworks shows.

She didn't see the one that truly belonged to her.
