The moment their eyes met, Shi Mo was suddenly startled, and a terrible guess emerged in his heart.
How did Mu Qin happen to find her mother and sister shopping with her father?
Is this really a coincidence?
But Luo Yuan...wasn't he a wanderer from childhood, a mere nerd without an elite education? If it were Shi Ling, he would... forget it. If Shi Ling found out, he would be even more surprised.
Luo Yuan just glanced at Shi Mo lightly and didn't take him seriously.
Suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
She took it out and took a look. It was a message from Shi Ling. Her expression, which had just been slightly cold and sarcastic, now showed a hint of joy from the bottom of her heart.
Shi Ling asked her to go together to celebrate the New Year and set off fireworks.
Once upon a time in Heyun Temple, Junior Sister Fu Yan and her companions set off fireworks, but they burned down Heyun Mountain. If Master had not used magic to bring rain and put out the fire in time, half of the sect would have been in jail during the New Year.
After that, the master strictly prohibited the use of fireworks on the mountain.
She hadn't been interested in any of this before; it was just boring flame-colored reactions, and she might as well have done a few more questions. But now it was Shi Ling who asked her out.
Luo Yuan no longer paid attention to the quarrel in the living room. She walked out of the house from the balcony on the second floor of the villa, leading directly to the stairs outside the villa, and then took a taxi to the Jing family villa.
Yu Family Manor.
Yu Chen would glance at the chat box with Shi Ling every few minutes, typing a message and then deleting it.
Shi Ling asked him to set off fireworks together last time, but tonight is New Year's Eve, but Shi Ling has never mentioned it. Did he forget?
Or maybe she just mentioned it casually at the time and forgot about it afterwards, and only he was flattered and took it to heart?
Yu Chen supported his head with one hand, looking at the dark night outside the window. He felt sleepy and his eyelids drooped slightly. When he was about to fall asleep uncontrollably, he suddenly saw the screen on the table that was about to go out light up.
Shi Ling: [Yu Chen! Come out and set off the fireworks! I'm at the Jing family's.]
His gloomy sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and his eyes suddenly brightened like stars. He picked up his cell phone, put his hands in his pockets, stood up and walked out the door.
Old Man Yu was sitting in a rocking chair watching videos. When he saw Yu Chen leaving, he stood up and asked, "Xiao Chen, where are you going so late?"
Yu Chen: "Jing family."
Grandpa Yu's eyes lit up slightly. "Go find Shi Ling. It's a bit lonely for us two to celebrate the New Year together. It wouldn't be bad to go play chess with Old Man Jing. Wait, Grandpa will go with you."
Yu Chen hesitated for a moment, but then thought that if Grandpa and Old Jing played chess together, then he and Shi Ling could set off fireworks alone, which was also good, so he nodded: "Yeah."
However, when he arrived at the Jing family, he found that the Jing family was more lively than ever.
Originally, during the Chinese New Year, the servants of the Jing family would go home for holidays to celebrate the New Year and other holidays. Basically, only the housekeeper would accompany Old Jing in the Jing family's old house, and at most Shi Ling would be added. However, it was inevitable that it would be a bit desolate when there were so few people.
But today, the courtyard of the Jing family's old house is filled with colorful lights and red lanterns are hung on the branches. The usually quiet, elegant and peaceful place has also been given a lively New Year atmosphere.
Old Jing was sitting at the door of the villa holding his silver tabby cat wearing a festive red sweater. The housekeeper and a few servants who had not returned home were busy running around. Shi Ling was surrounded by some familiar people.
Luo Yuan and Qin Niao stood on either side of Shi Ling, one on the left and one on the right. They started arguing with each other and tried to pull Shi Ling to take a photo with them playing with the fairy wand fireworks.
Luo Yuan originally thought that Shi Ling had only made an appointment with her, but she didn't expect to run into Qin Niao as soon as she arrived.
Qin Niao came with her brother Qin Zhan to play with Shi Ling. Coincidentally, Qin Zhan often played with Su Zhe'an and Xi Jin, so he brought them along.
Su Xingwan and Su Zhe'an are brother and sister, so they also came.
Shi Ling hadn't expected so many people to show up. Furthermore, forget about the Su and Qin siblings, but Xi Jin was actually interested in fireworks too?
Seeing the silver-haired boy being welcomed in by the housekeeper, Shi Ling was holding a fairy wand in her hand. She walked towards him and said, "Yu Chen, you're here. Come here quickly, this fairy wand is super beautiful!"
She stopped in front of him, the sparkler in her hand crackling and flying.
She looked at the sparks and he looked at her, "Mm, beautiful."
