"By the way, what are you doing here?" Lu Qingxuan asked, glancing at the fireworks and firecrackers scattered around.
She found Chen Ya in a fireworks shop, which was a mile away from the outer ring of Beijing. It was so remote that she really had no idea what he was doing there.
"Since it's a wedding, we have to set off fireworks as usual," said Chen Ya.
When Lu Qingxuan heard this, she laughed out loud: "You want to set off fireworks on your wedding day?"
"Yeah," Chen Ya nodded, "I'm not someone who particularly values customs, but it always feels less lively without fireworks."
"I didn't expect you to have such a... particular side," Lu Qingxuan folded her arms and stared at him, "But, I have some very sad news to tell you."
After that, she paused, then said loudly: "In the capital, firecrackers are banned all year round!"
Chen Ya raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
"Yeah!" Lu Qingxuan nodded. "Silly or not, the capital isn't a rural area. Fireworks are prohibited year-round. Especially since the birthday banquet is being held within the First Ring Road, the regulations are extremely strict. How could they possibly allow you to set off fireworks?"
She folded her arms and stared at Chen Ya, looking as if she was heartbroken at how stupid he was.
"I see."
Lu Qingxuan continued, "It just so happens that I came to see you because of the fireworks. Grandma gave us a task."
"What?"
"Find a place to set off the fireworks." Lu Qingxuan said.
Chen Ya laughed and said, "Didn't you say that whipping is banned in the capital?"
"Firecrackers are prohibited within the outer ring of the capital, but not outside it," Lu Qingxuan said. "Like you said, a birthday party wouldn't feel lively without fireworks."
Chen Ya smiled faintly and said, "So you're also going to use some connections to get them to temporarily designate an area where whipping is not prohibited?"
Lu Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him.
"Are you daydreaming? How could you possibly find such a connection? For something like this, even before Aihua was in the hands of my Lu family, I couldn't find such a connection, let alone now."
"Then what are you going to do?" Chen Ya asked.
"Firecrackers are prohibited within the outer ring road, so just set them off outside the outer ring road!" said Lu Qingxuan.
It turned out that the task that her grandmother gave to her and Chen Ya was to find a place outside the outer ring road to set off fireworks.
The building where the birthday party was held was quite far from the outer ring road, but fortunately, it was a sunny day on the day of the birthday party.
Setting off firecrackers on a clear evening, even though it is far away, can add a bit of liveliness to the atmosphere.
