Chapter 116 Nian Nian is misunderstood

Her fair and translucent face turned pink because of the compliments. Nian Nian, who was wearing a plush coat, lowered her long and thick eyelashes, and looked obviously shy.

He withdrew his hand holding the small bowl from the side of the bowl, rubbed his steaming face, and perhaps because of shyness, spoke softly.

"If you eat the dumplings Nian Nian made, she will be very happy."

Everyone cheered and teased Nian Nian, and finished the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in laughter.

"Wuhu——"

Shi Linzhuo, wearing a long down jacket, shouted happily. He jumped lightly down the marble steps in front of the villa, carrying various bags of fireworks and firecrackers.

There are small firework tubes, firecrackers, one-, two-, and three-bang firecrackers, and firework fairy wands...

My hands were full.

Nian Nian was Shi Linzhuo's follower, clinging to him closely, her eyes never leaving the bag of fireworks. Yuan Yuan was Nian Nian's follower, her big furry tail wagging and her butt twitching as she followed her little master.

The only strange thing was that as they walked, its mouth kept moving towards the pockets of Nian Nian's waist and abdomen, sniffing with its black nose and barking occasionally.

"Yuanyuan, be good. It's New Year's Day, don't push Nian Nian." The little guy stroked the golden retriever's head beside him twice and negotiated sincerely.

Normally, Yuanyuan always pushed him when playing and interacting with him. Nian Nian was already used to it, so when it pushed him again, he didn't think much about it. He just comforted the golden retriever twice and continued to move forward under the leadership of Shi Linzhuo.

The courtyard is always dim at night.

Normally, only a few of the floor lamps installed on the lawn would be turned on. Perhaps because it was New Year's Eve, all of them were lit up.

The headlights installed in front of the door and on the path were also turned on, which was rare. This not only increased the brightness of this area, but also did not overshadow the fireworks sticks that would be lit soon.

It’s a great atmosphere for setting off fireworks.

Shi Nanqi had a smile on her face, showing no sign of exploitation from the creation.

Since Nian Nian came to the Shi family, her daily comfort and happiness have offset too much of the pressure, and she rarely encounters bottlenecks in her creation. Even if she does, she can quickly break through.

She knew better than anyone that all the changes were due to Nian Nian's arrival.

With so many thoughts running through his mind, Shi Nanqi let down all his guard.

In order to enjoy the fireworks tonight, she found a hairband to tie up her well-maintained long hair neatly close to her scalp to prevent the fireworks from accidentally burning her bangs or hair ends.

It looks so ugly when the hair is burned off.

As soon as she reached the open space in the courtyard, she eagerly snatched the bag from Shi Linzhuo's hand and said, "I have to pick out some things I like."

As she said this, she quickly picked out a few of her favorites and held them in her palms.

Not only caring about himself, Shi Nanqi also stuffed a few fairy wands into Nian Nian's hands while choosing: "This is what my aunt loved to play with when she was a child. It's very, very beautiful when it's lit."

The reason Shi Nanqi forced the fairy wand into Nian Nian's hand wasn't entirely because it was pretty. A larger reason was that the place where the fairy wand was held was a certain distance away from the burning area, making it safest to play with.

Nian Nian was not picky and happily took it, looking at it fondly for many times: "Okay, Nian Nian wants a beautiful one."

Shi Nanqi and Shi Linzhuo wanted to laugh when they saw how curious he was about the fairy wand.

It’s not his fault.

On New Year's Eve two years ago, when Nian Nian was only a year or two old, his hands and feet weren't very flexible yet, and he looked as clumsy as a penguin. Shi Guilin and the others were worried that he wouldn't be able to hold a firework stick steady, so they unanimously decided not to let him touch the fireworks.

Therefore, strictly speaking, today was the first time that Nian Nian set off fireworks alone.

The pitch-black night was filled with round fireworks of various colors on all sides. The fireworks shot up into the sky, and the "bang" sounds of explosions rang in the ears, near or far.

Nian Nian stared at the lively night sky for a while, her bright pupils passing through the sparks that were extinguished after the explosion, as gorgeous as a crystal ball.

Yuanyuan is a brave golden retriever. Facing the explosion next to his ears, he was not panicked. Instead, he was full of energy and excitement. He turned around several times on the spot to vent his high emotions.

Shi Linzhuo took out a cylinder as thick as his palms could hold from his bag. He glanced around and chose an open space farther away from everyone and placed the cylinder there.

Nian Nian followed him eagerly, like a puppy, "Brother, what is this?"

He looked down at the thin, beautifully wrapped fairy wand in his hand, then at the thick cylinder. The difference between the two things was so great that it aroused curiosity.

"Fireworks." Shi Linzhuo took out the fuse hidden in the outer wrapping paper and gestured for him to look at it. "Light it up in a moment, and fireworks like small trees will burst out from here continuously. It's very beautiful."

After he finished explaining, he raised his arm and pushed the kid behind him, "Stand back and go to your father or your aunt, or you'll be hit by sparks soon."

"Oh oh." Nian Nian turned and ran to Shi Nanqi's side, holding her hand tightly, "Auntie, hold my hand."

Shi Nanqi instinctively returned the handshake, squatted down, and hugged the person next to him into his arms, "Wait for your brother's order."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fuse was ignited by a lighter not far away. Shi Linzhuo turned around abruptly and ran towards Nian Nian with a clear direction.

Just as the man was barely standing still, the cylindrical firework tube suddenly shot out thousands of sparks. They concentrated from the muzzle, rose high, reached a height of several meters, and then spread out evenly in a circle around it, like blooming chrysanthemums.

Mars, having reached its highest point, descended in a graceful arc, a parabolic trajectory. As Shi Linzhuo had said, the fireworks display resembled a small, glowing tree, a truly magnificent sight.

Nian Nian was stunned, her eyes were fixed and she didn't move at all, just like an ignorant little dog that had just run out of a pile of dirt.

Shi Linzhuo felt itchy in his heart and could no longer suppress his urge to express himself.

He picked up a fairy wand from his bag, raised his leg and walked straight towards the firework tube that was being set off. He boldly stretched the hand holding one end of the fairy wand into the dense sparks that were pouring out.

"Brother! It's hot!" Nian Nian was so anxious that she stood on tiptoe. If her wrist had not been tightly held by Shi Nanqi, she would have been launched to Shi Linzhuo like a small cannonball and pulled her brother back.

Shi Nanqi tilted his head and said, "Niannian, don't worry about him. I don't know what's wrong with him. What's the big deal about using a lighter to light a fairy wand? Just burn him to death and teach him a lesson."

"No, no, no." Nian Nian denied repeatedly, her face filled with anxiety, "It's not hot, brother, it's not hot, brother."

Shi Nanqi secretly rolled his eyes at Shi Linzhuo, then comforted Nian Nian: "It's okay, it's okay. Look, your brother is back."

Nian Nian turned her head to look.

The fairy wand emitted sparks the size of a palm, and the halo of light it emitted stained the face of Shi Linzhuo who was walking towards him, vaguely reflecting his facial features.

This scene was originally full of atmosphere, but the whole thing fell apart the moment Shi Linzhuo opened his mouth: "Wow, Nian Nian, wasn't brother handsome just now?"

He shook the fairy wand in his hand, and his smile seemed a little reckless to Nian Nian.

Nian Nian was still frightened: "Brother, your handsomeness might burn you. Don't do this next time. Just listen to Nian Nian."

"?"

Shi Linzhuo didn't understand for a moment. But then his brain circuit generated an answer.

Could it be that Nian Nian meant that he was so handsome he was about to explode? His handsomeness was enough to cause an explosion and even burn himself.

Wow.

That's so cool.

Nian Nian is really good at praising, he is worthy of being his younger brother.
