She had a hard life before, but now and in the future, he and his family will not let her suffer again.
Wen Yan didn't think too much about it and simply extended her little finger to Shen Jingchuan.
"Pinky promise!"
Shen Jingchuan scoffed: "Childish, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Who was it that was saying such nice things just now, saying we'd set off fireworks together every year? Tsk tsk. If you don't want to acknowledge it, fine, I don't care!"
As she spoke, Wen Yan was about to withdraw her hand.
Upon seeing this, Shen Jingchuan exclaimed, "This won't do!" He immediately grabbed Wen Yan's hand and forcibly hooked his little finger with hers.
"Pinky promise, a hundred years and no turning back!" He spoke so fast, as if the words were burning his tongue, or as if he was afraid Wen Yan would change her mind.
Wen Yan smiled at him, thinking to herself, [Little brat, I can handle you!]
"Let's stamp this again, then we'll consider it an agreement."
Shen Jingchuan: "..." Ugh, damn it! She actually got us all under her thumb! That brat, trying to outsmart them!
However, Shen Jingchuan wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, he found her very cute. How could there be such a cute little sister in the world? Just now, when he was stamping her with his thumb, she even unconsciously pouted.
"Here, this is for you." Shen Jingchuan reached out and suddenly took something out of his coat pocket and stuffed it into Wen Yan's hand.
"What is this?" Wen Yan held the object in her hand and looked at it over and over again, but she still couldn't figure out what it was.
“A fire starter,” Shen Jingchuan said. “You don’t even recognize that?”
"Huh?" Wen Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Do ignition sticks still come in a heart shape these days, and even have diamonds in them?"
This time, Qin Yulong answered Wen Yan's question: "...He's got a girlish heart, he gave me this one with a diamond-studded bow."
Shen Jingchuan: "What's wrong? Don't you think it looks good? I think it's especially suitable for you girls, beautiful and sparkly."
Wen Yan: "Well said! We girls are beautiful and radiant too, hahaha. When shall we start ordering? I can't wait!"
Shen Jingchuan glanced back at everyone's positions and confirmed:
"Everyone's here, we can begin. We'll start with the front row, and after that, we'll move on to the back. It'll be spectacular if we move them all at the same time. The fuses are already connected. In a bit, Yulong will move the ones on the right, you move the ones in the middle, and I'll move the ones on my side. I'll count down from three, and then we'll move them simultaneously, okay?"
"Yes!" Wen Yan and Qin Yulong said in unison.
Shen Jingchuan immediately began counting down: "Three, two, one, point!"
A faint hissing sound rang out, and the three fuses were ignited almost simultaneously.
After the three of them took four or five steps back to rejoin their family, they waited a while before the fireworks exploded.
Shen Jingchuan said the first wave was called a meteor shower, with silvery sparks flying into the sky, it was extremely beautiful.
Su Yang only remembered to have everyone take a group photo when the first wave was almost over.
Everyone unanimously doted on the two youngest girls in the family, and they all held up their phones to take pictures of Wen Yan and Qin Yulong.
During the second wave of "Fireworks" and the third wave of "Meteor Waterfall," the two of them didn't participate anymore; it was the three Shen brothers who lit the fires.
After the three waves of fireworks finished, huge fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky across the lake, displaying various colors and shapes, and even the words "Happy New Year".
Wen Yan's favorite was the last wave of blue fireworks, which exploded in the air in the shape of roses.
She had only casually recorded a few seconds of video of the fireworks earlier.
During Blue Rose's round, she kept recording with her phone, praising her endlessly.
Just as she was about to switch the camera to the front to take a selfie with the blue rose fireworks, Shen Jingxiu suddenly handed her a lit sparkler.
Neither of them spoke, but they smiled at each other, and then leaned their heads together into Wen Yan's front-facing camera.
The phone was initially in Wen Yan's hand, but it was quite difficult to simultaneously capture the two of them together, the sparkler in her hand, and the blue fireworks overhead.
Upon seeing this, Shen Jingxiu silently took the phone from her hand; with his long arms, it was much easier for him to take pictures.
When the rest of the family saw them taking selfies, they all came over and took many group photos together.
Wen Yan's second year in this world ended on a happy and beautiful day.
At midnight, just in time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new, she posted a message on her WeChat Moments.
The simple four characters 'Happy New Year' were accompanied by a family photo showing their backs to the camera.
That was a group photo taken by Su Yang, who fixed the camera on a tripod.
In the group photo, the family of seven is facing away from the camera, looking up at the blue fireworks in the sky.
Starting from the far left, Shen Yuan had his arm around Su Yang's shoulder, and Su Yang's head rested gently on Shen Yuan's body, a scene of affection and harmony.
Next to Su Yang was Shen Jinghe, who was wearing a hoodie and looked cool and arrogant even from behind.
Next to him was Qin Yulong, standing properly, looking up at the sky.
Standing next to Qin Yulong was Shen Jingchuan, his left hand in his pocket and his right hand raised high in a V-sign.
This wasn't his usual style, but Wen Yan next to him raised her hands and made a heart shape with her hands. After glancing at it, he felt that he should also make something in the shape of his hands.
On Wen Yan's other side was Shen Jingxiu. When the camera captured this scene, he was turning his head to look at Wen Yan again.
While everyone else was watching the fireworks, he was looking at the girl he cherished in his heart.
Wen Yan's WeChat Moments are not publicly accessible, and her friends and acquaintances wouldn't make any random comments about this photo.
However, the next day, some discussions about the fireworks show from the previous night appeared online.
City A does have fireworks displays.
However, the blue rose fireworks were so rare that they quickly sparked a heated discussion online.
"Wow, City A is truly amazing! So rich and powerful! Those blue fireworks lasted for at least seven or eight minutes!"
"This isn't fireworks, it's money burning! It must be hundreds of thousands!"
'Hundreds of thousands? Are you kidding me? A display of this scale, especially with rare blue fireworks, would easily start at a million, and with the other fireworks, the whole thing would be in the tens of millions.'
"Holy crap, is City A this high-class? They spend tens of millions on fireworks for Chinese New Year!"
'NONONO, you're overthinking it. This year's fireworks show in City A isn't like this at all; it's much more shabby. This looks like a simple private fireworks display.'
"Blue roses, so which big shot is trying to win over his girlfriend? The last one I saw was a drone confession, wow, this guy's actually setting off fireworks during Chinese New Year!"
'I guessed so, otherwise why would they put blue roses? They could have ended it when they got to the 'Happy New Year' message.'
"Ahhh, my gossip spirit is burning again! Almost the whole day's over, and you guys still haven't figured out who this big shot is? This is so romantic!"
