After wandering around outside for half a day, Jiang Xia returned with a bunch of fireworks and firecrackers, only to find that his godmother and Wang Ming had already arrived.
The adults had the TV on, but no one was actually watching. They were talking about Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan's wedding. Wang Ming sat to the side, holding his phone and occasionally smiling.
Jiang Xia walked over and greeted his godmother, then took a stool and sat down next to Lao Wang, leaning to the side to peek at what he was doing with that lewd smile.
Wang Ming abruptly pulled his phone back and pressed it to his chest, looking at Jiang Xia with a wary expression: "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Xia laughed; this reaction was definitely because she was chatting with Shen Ying.
"Tone it down, your grin is practically reaching your ears," Jiang Xia said with a light laugh.
Is it that obvious?
Wang Ming touched his face. He didn't seem to have done anything wrong. He was just chatting with Shen Ying. It couldn't be that exaggerated.
"Yes, the stench of love is palpable. Anyone with eyes can tell you're in a relationship," Jiang Xia nodded and teased.
Wang Ming blushed and said, "I didn't."
He also wants to date Shen Ying, but he hasn't confessed yet.
Jiang Xia raised an eyebrow slightly: "Didn't you go on a date with Shen Ying at the amusement park? The Ferris wheel is such a great date spot, and I heard it has a very high success rate for confessions. What happened, it didn't work out?"
Wang Ming scratched his head: "I didn't prepare anything that day, and I didn't dare to confess."
Jiang Xia rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "She already went to ride the Ferris wheel with you, what else do you need to prepare? Just pour out whatever's on your mind, she can't run away. Shen Ying obviously has feelings for you."
“I…I know, but…” Wang Ming pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, “I just can’t say it.”
"Old Wang, you missed a golden opportunity to confess your feelings."
Jiang Xia patted Wang Ming on the shoulder and sighed softly: "But it's not a big problem. When it comes to feelings, it's all about accumulating experience. The more you accumulate, the higher the success rate of your confession."
Wang Ming nodded, secretly remembering the Casanova's words.
"Does your godmother know about your relationship with Shen Ying now?" he asked.
Wang Ming thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "She probably doesn't know. I haven't told her anything."
He and Shen Ying mostly communicated through QQ, and even when they went out, they would agree on a place to go together.
Jiang Xia suddenly said meaningfully, "I don't know if you've noticed, but your godmother seems to really like Shen Ying. You should try your best to win her over as soon as possible; she'll be very happy."
"Hmm...do you have any ideas?" Wang Ming asked hesitantly.
"Really? Do you even need to ask? Opportunities are everywhere!"
"I know you're an experienced driver, so hurry up and tell me, what's the solution?" Wang Ming urged.
They had to head north to the capital on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and they didn't have many days left to spend with Shen Ying. If they didn't confess to her now while their relationship was at its peak, their relationship would likely deteriorate rapidly once they were separated.
Therefore, Lao Wang was actually very anxious.
"Tell me, what day is it today?" Jiang Xia asked him.
"New Year's Eve."
What will you do on New Year's Eve?
"Watching the Spring Festival Gala?"
“…You’re hopeless.” Jiang Xia almost choked on his breath. What the hell is watching the Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve? “Do you think it would be romantic to suddenly confess to Shen Ying while watching a skit?”
Wang Ming covered his face: "Don't get excited, I just said it without thinking. So, what can we do on New Year's Eve?"
"What did I buy today?" Jiang Xia said, exasperated.
Wang Ming turned his head and glanced at the base of the wall, where fireworks of all sizes were piled up on the ground.
His eyes lit up: "Fireworks?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Jiang, the emotional counselor, offers online advice: "Women are creatures of emotion rather than reason. Their psychological defenses will weaken slightly in the face of anything romantic or beautiful. Seize any opportunity to move them, strike at the right moment, and hit the mark!"
"Wonderful!" Wang Ming almost couldn't help but applaud Jiang Xia. A Casanova who won over his goddess in no time was truly different; his level was far superior to that of a relationship idiot like him.
"Old Wang, tonight is your last chance during the Spring Festival. If you miss it, you may have to wait until this time next year."
Jiang Xia encouraged his good friend: "Go for it! Try to get her out tonight. Go to the square with the most people watching fireworks, and tell her everything on your mind when she's happiest."
Wang Ming nodded vigorously.
With a Casanova giving him advice tonight, how could he possibly lose?
"Then... can I borrow some of the fireworks you bought tonight?"
"Go buy them yourself. These are all for Xiaoman." Jiang Xia said with a laugh. "Remember, don't buy those big firecrackers that can be set off individually. You're going to confess your love, not scare people. Just buy whatever looks nice, especially those cold fireworks that you can hold and wave around in your hand. Get as many of them as possible."
"Okay." Wang Ming nodded in agreement.
"By the way, I heard from your aunt and uncle that you and your sister-in-law are planning to get engaged?"
"Yes, let's get engaged first," Jiang Xia said.
"Wow, that was fast..."
Wang Ming couldn't help but sigh. In his memory, the two of them had only been together for about half a year, yet they had already reached the point of engagement, while he hadn't even been able to confess his feelings to Shen Ying yet.
He even believes that if the two of them weren't still under the legal marriage age, they would probably be talking about marriage instead of engagement today.
"It's so slow, why isn't he old yet?" Jiang Xia remarked.
Old Wang's face twitched violently. This bastard was showing off again.
"I'm starting to feel like hitting you."
"Hey, you don't understand."
He and Lin Yanwan are destined to be together across two lifetimes. Their relationship has progressed further since their previous life, but due to their age, they cannot live the ideal married life they envisioned, which is quite tiring for both of them at times.
It was extremely painful to endure.
"Damn it!" Wang Ming gave him a sharp middle finger.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was probably the happiest one for the three families. Wang Ming and Li Weiya, who have always been mother and son relying on each other, have now become godparents to each other because of Jiang Xia, and have once again experienced the warmth of a big family.
"In the new year, I hope that our three families will have smooth sailing, harmony and happiness, good fortune, and prosperous business." Lin Gaoyuan raised his wine glass and laughed heartily.
"I also wish Xiaxia and Yanwan a harmonious and fruitful relationship, working together for mutual progress," Xia Shanshan said with a smile.
"And I wish us all good health and all the best." Li Weiya also raised her glass.
"Happy New Year!"
"cheers!"
