Fireworks are common in modern times, but in ancient times they were extremely rare, reserved only for the imperial palace, and were usually only set off on festive occasions.
That's why Rong Qingqing was so engrossed in watching the fireworks.
Of course, ancient fireworks were simpler than modern ones, but that was still enough to make people happy.
As Rong Qingqing watched the fireworks in the night sky, Xie Jingrun looked down at her.
Neither of them spoke, yet a tacit understanding flowed between them.
Just then, a soft cough broke the silence.
The cough wasn't loud, but it happened just as the fireworks died down, so both Xie Jingrun and Rong Qingqing heard it.
Rong Qingqing looked at Xie Jingrun in surprise, "Someone's there?"
Xie Jingrun squeezed her shoulder. "Okay, wait for me here for a bit." With that, he wrapped the cloak completely around her and turned to walk to the side.
Rong Qingqing leaned against the pillar, watching the direction he had walked past.
Then, the fireworks that had fallen silent exploded again in the night sky, illuminating the world.
Rong Qingqing saw a girl in a white dress standing timidly not far ahead.
The light from the fireworks illuminated the girl's face, and Rong Qingqing could clearly see the girl's outline.
She was a little surprised. How could it be her?
"Cousin-cousin." Hua Yin covered her lips with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and called out timidly as she looked at the man walking towards her.
Xie Jingrun looked at her expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?"
Hua Yin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just now on the city wall, I saw my cousin coming down, so... so..."
"What brings you following me?" Xie Jingrun asked impatiently.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yin's eyes dimmed slightly. She was about to say something, but then she looked behind him and stopped talking.
Xie Jingrun noticed and turned around. When he saw Rong Qingqing, his cold and gloomy face immediately softened, and he even reached out to adjust her cloak. "Not watching the fireworks?"
"I'm not watching anymore." Rong Qingqing said, gesturing with her chin towards Hua Yin's direction, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's alright, let's go." Xie Jingrun naturally took her hand and walked towards the city tower, but he didn't forget to remind Huayin, "Your health is already weak, don't stand here in the wind, be careful not to catch a cold, and your grandmother will worry about you again." After saying that, he ignored her and walked away with Rong Qingqing.
After watching the two walk away, Hua Yin remained silent for a moment, then walked to the spot where they had just stood and looked up at the night sky.
It turns out that watching fireworks from here is indeed much better.
Actually, she had followed them when they came down from the city wall one after the other.
She saw her cousin, who was usually cold and aloof, taking meticulous care of Rong Qingqing. He even took off his cloak and wrapped it around her, and stood in the wind to shield her from the wind.
She was shocked and incredulous.
She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
What is so special about Rong Qingqing that makes her cousin treat her like this?
She was somewhat unwilling and resentful.
On what grounds?
What makes Rong Qingqing so special that her cousin treats her like this?
She was occasionally taken care of by her cousin, all because of her grandfather.
Her cousin had promised her grandfather, which is why she was able to occasionally receive some care from him.
She never dared to hope for a situation like what had just happened.
But what she dared not hope for was easily obtained by other women.
