"What? I can't get through to Liu Gang on the phone? What's he doing?"
Gou Shengli said somewhat dejectedly.
"I don't know, no one's answering the phone, they must be busy." Lin Xun put down his phone.
He was naturally unaware that Liu Gang was currently exchanging pleasantries with Li Xueqin.
"Let's go set off fireworks!" Lin Xun suggested with a smile as he finished his last drink.
He and Gou Shengli were just drinking, one bottle each.
Lin Miaomiao's big eyes lit up slightly; setting off fireworks is very attractive to girls.
Instead of taking a car, the group walked to the riverbank.
Relatively speaking, setting off fireworks by the river is safer, and this is indeed the case. At this time, many people gathered on the path by the river, and beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky from time to time.
Several children were gathered together, setting off some very small fireworks.
Some are commonly called "fire wheels," while others Lin Xun doesn't even know what they are. They make a crackling sound when they explode.
There were fireworks displays not far away. It was already 10 p.m., but the streets were brightly lit and full of people.
Lin Xun and his friends bought several boxes of powerful fireworks and set them up in an open space.
"This thing, could it light up the whole river?" Gou Shengli rubbed his hands together and pulled a lighter out of his pocket.
"Be careful," Lin Miaomiao said to him worriedly, while keeping her distance.
"Don't worry, it's just setting off firecrackers. It's not like we've never done it before." Gou Shengli told the two of them to move away, and then lit one.
At this moment, Lin Xun had already taken out his phone and started recording.
With a whooshing sound, a streak of fire shot straight into the sky, exploding dozens of meters in the air with a piercing roar!
A series of gasps rang out in the audience, and many people took out their phones to take pictures.
Gou Shengli was holding Lin Miaomiao, and both of them had happy expressions on their faces.
After the fireworks ended, Lin Xun sent the video to Su Qingshi.
The latter sent a video call invitation directly.
After the call connected, Lin Xun flashed a bright smile at the camera: "Hello, Sister Qingshi, Happy New Year's Eve!"
Su Qingshi was downstairs in the residential area, and she could see flashes of light in the sky behind her, indicating that someone was setting off fireworks on her side.
Su Qingshi looked puzzled: "Where are you?"
Lin Xun switched the camera, first scanning the scene along the riverbank, then focusing on Gou Shengli and Gou Shengli. After seeing the two being affectionate, Lin Xun was speechless.
I was careless and didn't dodge, and I ended up getting a dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a romantic moment) from Gou Shengli.
"The fireworks are beautiful," Su Qingshi complimented.
Lin Xun smiled and said, "Then, Sister Qingshi, do you still want to see it?"
Su Qingshi raised an eyebrow: "You're buying it?"
Without saying a word, Lin Xun went and bought two more boxes, but he hung up the phone before paying, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to pay.
After he and Gou Shengli each carried over a box, Lin Miaomiao exclaimed in shock, "So many?"
Gou Shengli curled his lip: "He's just fulfilling Senior Su's request."
Lin Xun smiled slightly and made another video call.
Are you ready?
Su Qingshi was already sitting on a swing downstairs in the apartment complex, looking down at the scene on her phone.
The task of igniting the fire was naturally handed over to Gou Shengli, and as if they had noticed the situation, many people took out their phones and pointed them at him, ready to record at any time.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Gou Shengli lit the fuse.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two rockets launched almost simultaneously, and a dazzling shower of fireworks was captured on everyone's phones.
"What a nice view!"
Lin Xun sighed.
Su Qingshi was also watching the fireworks, but when they were halfway through, her gaze fell on Lin Xun's face.
After the fireworks ended, the scene gradually quieted down.
After the initial passion subsided, a lingering sense of excitement remained.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Lin Xun asked Su Qingshi.
The latter nodded: "It looks great."
The fireworks were beautiful, but her junior was more pleasing to the eye.
Lin Xun's expression softened: "Sister Qingshi, I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Su Qingshi nodded gently: "I'll wait for you."
…
After the fireworks ended, Gou Shengli was taken away by Lin Miaomiao, and Lin Xun also asked Atai to come and pick him up.
When I got home, there were only a few older women left in the courtyard; all the other young employees were on holiday.
These women stayed voluntarily, and Lin Batian provided them with corresponding benefits.
They were setting off fireworks in the yard at that moment.
"Greetings, young master."
"Happy New Year, young master!"
Several aunties greeted Lin Xun warmly when they saw him.
Lin Xun responded with a smile.
"Son's back? Did you have fun with your friends?" Gu Yanyan was playing mahjong at home, while there were several wealthy women in the living room whom Lin Xun didn't recognize.
It's obvious without even guessing that these are all my mom's mahjong friends.
"Hey! This must be Lin Xun? He's really handsome!"
"Miss Gu, I've heard you talk about your son all the time, but I never thought I'd finally meet him today!"
"Hehe, young man, do you have a girlfriend yet?"
"..."
Several wealthy women were very enthusiastic, some even asking Lin Xun if he had a girlfriend.
Lin Xun smiled shyly and nodded, "Yes."
Many people are pressured by their families to get married or find a partner when they go home for the Chinese New Year. If you say you don't have one, people will gossip about you or try to set you up with a matchmaker.
"You have a girlfriend? Not bad, not bad. When will we be able to attend her wedding?" a beautiful woman in a cheongsam teased.
Lin Xun blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"It's up to those two young people to decide," Gu Yanyan said with a smile.
The beautiful woman in the cheongsam suddenly beckoned to Lin Xun: "Come here, come over here for a moment."
Lin Xun walked over.
The beautiful woman in the cheongsam smiled and took out a check: "I didn't give you a red envelope for the New Year, so I'll give you this check as a New Year's gift."
Lin Xun accepted the gift, feeling flattered: "Thank you, Happy New Year!"
The check stated a sum of one million.
huge sum of money!
Lin Xun was slightly shocked. Although a million dollars was not much to these wealthy and noble people, it was still a lot of money!
Is this the mark of a rich woman to give away such a large amount of New Year's money so readily?
Seeing this, the others also took out their "lucky money" and gave it to Lin Xun.
This isn't a lot of money for them, but it can bring the two families closer together.
After returning to his room, Lin Xun found himself with several million more.
This money smells so sour!
Lin Xun casually placed the check on the table; it was almost midnight.
He immediately called Su Qingshi.
"Are you done with work?"
Su Qingshi was already lying in bed at this time, and whispered, "My brother and the others bought fireworks just now. I was tired, so I came back."
Lin Xun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Qing Shi."
He told her what happened that night.
Receiving millions of yuan in lucky money before the official Chinese New Year is something only a family like Lin Xun's could afford.
As midnight approached, the night in Kyoto seemed to fall into a kind of quiet.
As the clock struck midnight, countless fireworks and firecrackers erupted throughout Kyoto.
Happy Chinese New Year!
Happy New Year, junior.
Happy New Year, Qingshi.
The two people in the video whispered their blessings to each other.
