"Don't you have firecrackers? Those are fun too."

"No, no, I want this big firework!"

After reading it, Yu Mobai laughed and placed another one next to him.

The little boy was almost in tears; he insisted on dragging his grandfather to buy fireworks.

Yu Mobai walked over with a cheeky grin. "Uncle Wang, there are places that sell these fireworks not far from the residential compound, and they're not expensive."

Upon hearing this, the little boy burst into tears again, crying, "Buy it for me! Buy it for me!"

Yu Mobai chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and went straight into the building.

Reeking of gunpowder, he knocked on Ji Mushu's door.

What brings you here?

Ji Mushu was wearing pink pajamas, her hair was piled up in a high bun, revealing her fair and slender neck. "Didn't you say you wanted to go home?"

"Without you, how could I start a family?"

Yu Mobai squeezed through the door without any politeness, and also teased Ji Mushu in the process.

"Pah, shameless."

Ji Mushu's face flushed slightly as she turned and went inside.

"Hey, where's Dong Yike?"

Yu Mobai leaned casually against the door frame, took off his shoes, and looked around but couldn't find Dong Yike.

"She went back to Aunt Dong's place, and my dad seems to have gone out to play cards."

Ji Mushu, wearing slippers, sat on the sofa with her legs curled up, clutching a cushion in her arms. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, she's not home."

Yu Mobai locked the door from the inside and then sat down on the sofa nonchalantly.

"Hello."

Ji Mushu stretched out her smooth, fair leg and kicked him.

"hold head high?"

Yu Mobai turned his head and saw her fair calves and delicate toes. He immediately grabbed them and said with great dissatisfaction, "Why did you kick me?"

"Hey, let go of me."

Grasped by Yu Mobai's large hand, Ji Mushu quickly slapped her little feet and said, "You pervert!"

"What's wrong with me being a scoundrel to my own girlfriend?"

Yu Mobai not only didn't let go, but also slowly slid his other hand up his calf. "Besides, we've done everything we should do, so what are you embarrassed about?"

"Pah, you've done everything you were supposed to do."

When this topic came up, Ji Mushu's face turned pink, and she lowered her head shyly, saying, "Don't talk nonsense."

"How did I say anything wrong?"

Yu Mobai shifted his hips slightly towards her, grasping her ankle with one hand and gently tickling the sole of her foot with the other. "Isn't it the truth? That night, the two of us, you were in bed..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Ji Mushu quickly covered her ears, "How annoying! Why are you saying all this?"

"I'm just clarifying what happened between us."

Yu Mobai chuckled, then leaned closer and said, "Today is the eve of the Lunar New Year, shall we do something meaningful?"
