Extra: Yao Xiuyuan's Year of Resilience (26)

"What for?" Ying Nian didn't understand.

Yao Xiuyuan pulled him all the way to his car, opened the trunk, and took out the fireworks he bought. He bought these fireworks on the road, but he didn't tell Yingnian.

Ying Nian didn't expect that he also bought fireworks and was a little shocked for a moment.

Yao Xiuyuan placed the fireworks on the ground in the yard, then lit them with a lighter. The red fireworks instantly rushed into the sky, and exploded in the sky with a "bang", and a meteor shower fell. Yao Xiuyuan bought a lot of them. He waved to Yingnian and handed him the lighter, "You have some."

Yingnian happily lit the fuse, and saw that the fireworks were orange. The moment they bloomed, they lit up the entire starry sky.

The children in the village heard the sound of fireworks and ran out, looking up at the fireworks and muttering, "How beautiful!"

Ying Nian lit up the fireworks one by one, watching them bloom in the night sky, with a smile on his face. Yao Xiuyuan looked at him, feeling peaceful and soft in his heart.

"Do you know the first year?" Yao Xiuyuan suddenly asked.

Ying Nian turned to look at him and whispered, "Do you mean the first year when new things begin?"

"Yes." Yao Xiuyuan smiled, "It also refers to us."

Ying Nian was stunned for a moment.

Yao Xiuyuan touched his head and said gently, "Yingnian, no matter what happened in the past, it is a new year now. You will have a new beginning and a new future, and so will we."

Ying Nian stared at him blankly, without saying a word.

Yao Xiuyuan put his hands down and opened his arms towards him. He said nothing, but his eyes were full of tenderness and smiles.

Ying Nian looked at him quietly for a long time before taking a step forward and hugging him.

Yao Xiuyuan hugged him and kissed his forehead, "I promise you that your future will be smooth, happy and healthy. I love you, Yingnian."

Ying Nian leaned on his shoulder and said "hmm" after a long while. He thought, "I love you too," but for some reason he couldn't say it. He just hugged Yao Xiuyuan tightly, tighter and tighter, until Yao Xiuyuan was surprised. However, Yao Xiuyuan said nothing, just looked down at him and kissed his cheek gently.

Although his friend seemed to be very open-minded and didn't seem to care about many things, he was a person who had been losing things all the time. He would also worry about gains and losses and be afraid of losing again. But it didn't matter, Yao Xiuyuan thought, he had always been a very patient person, so he could wait for him. Until one day, Ying Nian told him in person, I love you.

Yao Xiuyuan believed that that day would not be too far away.

Ying Nian held him for a while before finally letting go of his hand embarrassedly. Yao Xiuyuan brought him back into the house, took out two red envelopes from his coat pocket and handed them to him.

"New Year's money." He said, "The larger ones are given by me, and the smaller ones are given by my sister."

"Why did you let your sister support me again?" Ying Nian felt that this was too inappropriate.

Yao Xiuyuan took his hand and put the red envelope on it. "You are wronged. I didn't give it to you. My sister took the initiative to give it to you. How can I control her?"

Ying Nian was very skeptical about this method and looked at him with disbelief.

Yao Xiuyuan looked back at him innocently and even blinked cutely. Ying Nian had no choice but to accept both red envelopes.

He put the red envelope under the pillow. When Yao Xiuyuan saw his action, he laughed. It turned out that he was still a friend at heart.

Ying Niancai had no idea what he was thinking and yelled at him to wash up and get ready for bed.

The lights were not turned off during the Chinese New Year, and if people could endure it, they could stay awake. But Ying Nian and Yao Xiuyuan could not endure it, so they did not turn off the lights and fell asleep together in each other's arms.

The next morning, Yao Xiuyuan woke up earlier than Ying Nian, which was a rare occurrence. He looked at Ying Nian sleeping peacefully in his arms, looking soft and clean. He silently lowered his head and kissed his cheek.

Ying Nian was sleeping soundly, and he obediently let him kiss her. Yao Xiuyuan poked him, and Ying Nian did not resist, so Yao Xiuyuan gradually became bolder.

He couldn't help but kiss her while poking her, and he was impressed by how there could be such a lovely person in the world. He was about to wake up his prince with a kiss, but he saw the prince open his eyes indifferently, "Is my face funny?"
