Wen Yan first ran over and said a few words to Su Yang before joining Qin Yulong and Shen Jingchuan.
What are you two researching?
“I’m looking at the fuse,” Qin Yulong said. “I’ve seen countless fireworks shows since I was a child, but I’ve never lit one myself. Have you ever set off fireworks?”
“Let it go!” Wen Yan nodded. “I’ve also set off firecrackers and snap pops, and I’ve blown up ice cubes and beer cans.”
Qin Yulong didn't quite understand: "What are firecrackers and snap pops?"
"It's a firecracker, it's a little box with a piece of paper on the side. Anyway, I don't know what the technical term is, you just rub the little firecracker on it and it lights up. After it lights up, you throw it on the ground and it explodes."

"Let's set off fireworks together every year from now on," he said, looking at Wen Yan with a sincere desire to make her a promise.
