Unforgettable fireworks
Shen Xuyang pulled Shi Nannan to the top of the mountain outside the temple. It was already past midnight and the people around had dispersed.
Some are going down the mountain, and some are waiting for the sunrise tomorrow morning.
Shen Xuyang and Shi Nannan stood side by side, both looking at the fireworks rising in the night sky, but they were not thinking about the beautiful scenery of the fireworks.
While they were distracted, Chen Xing and Wen Yu appeared.
Shi Nannan asked, "Xingxing, where did you and Wen Yu go? Why didn't I see you when I rang the bell?"
Although there were many people when the bell was rung, Shi Nannan was almost certain that Chen Xing and Wen Yu were not there.
Chen Xing glanced at Wen Yu and said, "I was feeling a little unwell and missed the bell, but I heard it outside, so it wasn't a wasted trip."
Chen Xing spoke hesitantly, and her explanation was just to reassure Shi Nannan.
Shi Nannan realized something and didn't ask any more questions.
Wen Yu was also covering for Chen Xing. He changed the subject and said, "I don't think you two missed it. You're all in the mood to watch the fireworks."
If Shi Nannan and Shen Xuyang hadn't been preoccupied, they would have noticed Chen Xing's pale face earlier, as well as the sudden red bloodshot in Wen Yu's eyes and the traces of unwiped corners of his eyes.
Shen Xuyang and Shi Nannan looked at each other without saying a word, but the two of them became four people standing side by side.
The four of them watched the final fireworks display together, which was a perfect ending to the event.
Everyone has their own worries, but after the four of them reunite, they find their original happiness again.
Shi Nannan was the first to point at the fireworks that were both in the distance and right before her eyes and said, "Xingxing, do you think that firework looks like a blooming rose?"
Chen Xing thought for a moment before saying, "It's more like a fleeting night-blooming cereus than a rose. It's so beautiful, but its blooming period is too short."
Wen Yu cared about Chen Xing's words more than anyone else. After hearing it, he felt even more upset.
Although she didn't know why God chose her to be the lucky one, she felt it was unfair for her.
Wen Yu never felt that the world was fair, but he never complained about anything either.
It was only because of Chen Xing that he wanted to curse the injustice of heaven several times when he saw her fragile and powerless.
Wen Yu's eyes darkened as he said, "No matter what kind of flowers they are, they will always bloom. Withering and disappearing are not the end. The meaning of their existence is for us to remember them forever."
Chen Xing listened to Wen Yu's words, and she understood that he was speaking to her.
Chen Xing used to feel that life was very tiring. Not only was she tired, but she also added a lot of burdens to the people around her.
She didn't want to be a burden to anyone. If her birth was a death with an invisible countdown from the beginning, she would rather speed up time and shorten the painful moments.
But after this day, Chen Xing would never think that way again, because it was the people around her who made her feel that living was not for death.
Even if her countdown is faster, every moment of her existence will be meaningful.
It was Wen Yu who told her every time she felt helpless that she could see the light by looking up. Whether it was sunlight or starlight, they were both good medicine to heal her pain.
It was Shi Nannan and Shen Xuyang who always stayed by her side, allowing her to realize that friendship could also warm people's hearts.
It was their bright smiles that gave Chen Xing the strength to overcome difficulties countless times.
She was truly grateful to everyone who stood by her side, as they made her greedily want more time.
The raised corners of Chen Xing's mouth showed that he had regained hope and was refreshed. He wanted to become stronger and braver.
Wen Yu caught a glimpse of Chen Xing's brilliant smile from the corner of his eye, and he also became happy.
Shen Xuyang then said: “You are right, no matter what kind of flower it is, even if it disappears, it will always live in our lives.”
When Shi Nannan heard this, she wanted to tease Shen Xuyang again, “You imitate Wen Yu’s speech, Shen Xuyang, I think your knowledge level is only this much.”
Shen Xuyang said with a bit of disdain: "Humph! You are not much better than me. One of us is last and the other is second to last. We are roughly equal."
Shi Nannan was dissatisfied when she heard this: "What do you mean by equally matched? I'm second to last, and you're last. You're below me, so I'm a little better than you."
Shen Xuyang retorted: "It's the same countdown, isn't it just one point off each time? How do you calculate it so clearly?"
Shi Nannan persisted, "One point difference is still a difference. Didn't you hear the teacher say that one point in the exam is equivalent to the number of people in the playground? Don't underestimate this number. There may be thousands of people between us."
Chen Xing smiled, "Nannan, I've noticed that in addition to not memorizing the knowledge in class, you remember everything the teacher said that has nothing to do with studying. If you put that little bit of energy into studying, why would you have to cram for every exam?"
Shi Nannan was right what Chen Xing said. Her brain was most useful in remembering happy things, and she didn't care about anything else.
Shi Nannan said a little embarrassedly, "Xingxing, how could you ruin my show in public? I know you know me best, but you can't let me lose face in front of Shen Xuyang."
Shi Nannan used all her strength to fight Shen Xuyang. She could lose to anyone, but she could not be worse than Shen Xuyang.
Wen Yu tried to save Shi Nannan's face and said, "I'll tell you something in secret. Chen Xuyang couldn't write his own name until he was seven years old. He often wrote his name as Jiu Ri."
When Shi Nannan heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, her mouth almost broke from laughing.
Shen Xuyang felt like his own brother had exposed his dark history and he couldn't beat him. He had never been so helpless in his life.
Shen Xuyang's back teeth were about to break. "Wen Yu, are you shouting so loudly so that everyone will know?"
"Forget it. We've been friends since we were little, and you've only known Shi Nannan for a few days, and you're already selling me out. We're just like plastic brothers. It makes me so angry."
Shen Xuyang clenched his fists and only dared to walk around in front of Wen Yu. If they really started fighting, he would not be Wen Yu's opponent.
Shen Xuyang and Wen Yu learned Taekwondo together since they were young. Although Wen Yu was not inferior to him, what he feared most about Wen Yu was not his fists, but his vicious and ruthless schemes.
Shen Xuyang knew Wen Yu's methods best. Although he had a gentle and harmless face, he was actually good at calculating people's hearts and no one could compare to him.
He can change a person's mind in a matter of minutes without the person noticing what he has done.
This is how Shen Xuyang was tricked by Wen Yu into reading a lot of books when he was a child, and he changed from a naughty boy who didn't listen to discipline to a good boy praised by everyone.
Originally, he could have achieved outstanding academic results like Wen Yu, but later the motivation to be a good boy was gone, and he no longer had any reason to be that good boy who made others worry-free.
Before Shen Xuyang could do anything to Wen Yu, he was attacked by Shi Nannan's laughter, which could wake up hibernating animals.
Shi Nannan laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe and said, "Jiuri? Shen Xuyang, I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed. You couldn't even write your own name at the age of seven, and you even created a new name."
"Hmm~ The name Jiuri sounds good. Does it mean nine suns or nine days?"
Shi Nannan kept nagging in Shen Xuyang's ear. It was not easy for her to catch Shen Xuyang's handle, so how could she let it go easily.
Finally, there was a time when Shi Nannan could make fun of Shen Xuyang.
Shi Nannan was very grateful to Wen Yu and said, "Not bad, Wen Yu, you are worthy of being my friend. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. I will protect you."
When Shi Nannan is happy, she talks a lot of nonsense and always likes to think of herself as the most responsible boss in the team.
But she wasn't just talking. If something really happened, she would definitely be the first one to go.
Chen Xing smiled. This moment of relaxation was very comfortable. He felt like he had forgotten all his worries.
Before Wen Yu could say anything, Shen Xuyang countered, "Ha! You're protecting me? With your ant-sized courage and mediocre skills, what other useful weapons do you have besides a mouth that can yell at people?"
"Oh~ No, your mouth is sometimes useless..."
Shi Nannan was originally a little happy. At least Shen Xuyang was humiliated, and she felt a little relieved.
But Shen Xuyang always contradicted her and poured cold water on her when she finally managed to win the game.
He just doesn't get along with her in every way.
Shi Nannan said angrily, "Chen Xuyang, what's wrong with you giving in to me this time? You're a grown man, but your tolerance is not as big as a grain of sand."
"I had already planned to mark you down in my diary, but you offended me again."
"How dare you call me a coward and say I'm useless? I absolutely cannot tolerate this. I must record a hundred more offenses against you. It's pissing me off!"
When Shen Xuyang heard this, he realized that he had passed again. He was a little anxious and only thought about saving face, and completely forgot about the notebook.
Shen Xuyang shamelessly approached Shi Nannan, like a puppy admitting its mistake, with innocence shining in his eyes.
Shen Xuyang pleaded in a low voice: "Can you please not bear grudges and just treat what I just said as referring to myself?"
"You're not a coward at all. I'm afraid of you. You're the bravest and most loyal person in the world. With an invincible bodyguard like me by your side, why would you need to take action?"
Chen Xing and Wen Yu stood aside and watched Shen Xuyang coaxing and trying his best to please Shi Nannan, just to reduce a few sins.
This made Chen Xing and Wen Yu unable to hold back their laughter. It was rare that the two of them didn't fight, but the atmosphere seemed to have changed a little, becoming unusually harmonious.
Shi Nannan listened to Shen Xuyang trying to cheer her up while not forgetting to exaggerate his own words. Although she was still not satisfied, she was not that angry either.
She didn't know when it started, but she no longer cared about his words that made her angry. Instead, she thought it was normal and even got used to quarreling with him every day.
Shi Nannan said, "Forget it. Since you are so sincere, I will let you go this time, Jiu Ri."
Shen Xuyang had lost his temper a long time ago. He owed too much debt to Shi Nannan.
In order to avoid the risk of breaking up on graduation day, he must work hard to pay off his debts and try to cross out all the unhappiness he had brought her from the notebook as soon as possible.
“Chen Xuyang is me, and Jiuri is also me. As long as you are happy, you can call me whatever you want, but don’t ignore me.”
