Chapter 289 A World for Two

"Okay, Qixuan, send someone to diagnose Mr. Fang and see if there is anything wrong with his body. Since Xixi wants to watch the fireworks, let's go watch the fireworks first."

Qin Qixuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll send a doctor to check on Mr. Fang."

As for the result of the diagnosis, it can only be said that Fang Qinghong was so tired that he fell asleep.

The fireworks are in the sky, and in fact, you can see them as long as there is no obstruction. But Xixi thinks that the attic of their house is the best for watching fireworks. So, this year's place to watch the fireworks was decided to be the attic of the mansion.

The group all arrived at the attic. Coincidentally, the fireworks in the palace began to be set off.

Looking at the colorful sky, Qin Xixi was reluctant to blink for a moment.

In the previous dozens of lives, Qin Xixi had seen fireworks before, but this was the first time she watched it with so many family members. This was a different kind of fireworks.

Others could only see fireworks during the Chinese New Year. For ordinary people, fireworks at this time were not something they could afford. If they wanted to see them, they could only watch the fireworks in the palace on New Year's Eve.

Everyone stared at the sky intently.

Even after the fireworks were over, everyone was still a little reluctant. They were still looking at the sky, hoping to catch a fish.

The view from the attic was very good, and they could look directly at the street from here. There were many pedestrians on the street, who, like them, were just admiring the fireworks and were now savoring the beauty of that moment.

"It's great. Although we don't know each other, we are all under the same sky, admiring the fireworks in the same place. It feels so good."

The third brother has always been sentimental. He was the first to speak, breaking the silence after the beautiful scenery.

"Yes, the streets are so lively, and everything is red and prosperous. This is the New Year."

Qin Shu also thinks so. Although they ate delicacies that they couldn't eat at other times at the palace banquet, it was not as comfortable, lively and warm to spend New Year's Eve in the palace as it was at home.

"Here, this year's New Year's money."

Every year Qin Shu would prepare a lot of pocket money for them, and this time was no exception.

"This year, there are more New Year's money for Xixi, Qiting and Haixin, and the New Year's money for the fourth and fifth children was also given in person."

Qin Shu's tone was full of satisfaction.

It would be great if time could stop at this moment, without intrigue and power struggle.

Since Helian Shi came to the Qin Mansion to celebrate the New Year, he would definitely not be unprepared.

Seeing that Qin Shu gave the children New Year's money, he quickly found some change from his arms.

"I also prepared some for the children."

Qin Shu was a little surprised.

"General Helian is a guest who came to the mansion to celebrate the New Year. How can the children accept your New Year's money?"

Qin Shu was a little reluctant, but Helian Shi insisted on giving it to the children.

Qin Qixuan and the others pretended not to notice Qin Shu's expression, and they wanted Helian Shi to have more opportunities to spend time with his mother.

They couldn't help but think in their hearts that General Helian was still the best. He didn't forget to prepare New Year's money for them when he came to the mansion to celebrate the New Year. He was nothing like Fang Qinghong. Even if he was not confused, he didn't carry a bag of money.

"Well... I suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to have finished my homework."

The third brother was the smartest. He suddenly said this, and everyone was a little confused.

"Qiting, Haixin, are you still a little behind in the homework assigned by the teacher?"

The two of them understood what the third brother meant in an instant.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed not finished. Oh, it will be handed in in the next few days, and we have to make up for it!"

So the three of them hurried down the attic.

At this time, several other people also reacted.

"I suddenly remembered that the refined medicine is still in the stove..."

"Oh, that martial arts still needs to be reviewed."

"I'll take Xixi downstairs to eat something. She didn't seem to eat much at the palace banquet..."

Several people found reasons and quickly went downstairs.

After a while, only Qin Shu and Helian Shi were in the attic.

How could Qin Shu not see that this was the time these kids specially prepared for her and Helian Shi to be alone?

It's just...

Qin Shu wanted to find an excuse to go downstairs, but Helian Shi spoke first.

"If you have decided to marry Fang Qinghong, I will go back to the border after the New Year."

In fact, Helian Shi didn't want to talk about this with Qin Shu during the New Year.

But it seemed that apart from this time, he might not find another opportunity, and he was afraid that it would be too late to tell Qin Shu about this.

Qin Shu was not surprised. As a general, Helian Shi should have returned to the border.

But he was going back after the New Year? She thought it would take a few days.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

Qin Shu hesitated, but asked directly.

"I heard that you returned to the capital this time to get married. But now you are going back alone, won't it be difficult to explain?"

Of course, it would be difficult to explain to his parents in his hometown in Jiangnan. Qin Shu suddenly felt a little sorry.

But Helian Shi shook his head.

"It's okay. I've already talked to my family. My parents respect my opinion and won't do anything to me."

Although he said that, Helian Shi's apology to his parents would not disappear for a while unless he got married.

Qin Shu knew it very well in her heart and kept silent.

Helian Shi looked at Qin Shu, with loneliness and relief in his eyes.

"My parents also agree that if you and I get married, they will let me retire and return to the fields. Even if I'm not a general, my family still has some savings and can support you."

After saying that, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"It seems a bit redundant to say this now, and my savings are probably not even one-tenth of the Qin family's. But now that these words have been said, I have no regrets."

Qin Shu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She really didn't expect that Helian Shi could do this for her.

You have to know that Helian Shi's current achievements were won after countless bloody battles.

If he were to retire, wouldn't it be a waste of half his life in the military?

And what Helian Shi meant was not only that he could do this for Qin Shu, but also some other meanings, which Qin Shu also understood.

Helian Shi must know that what Qin Shu was worried about was that the emperor would be jealous because of their powerful alliance.

So Helian Shi was also telling him in this way that he would solve problems with her, and if Qin Shu was worried that the emperor would not do well, then he would resign from the identity of the general so that the emperor could be relieved and Qin Shu's concerns would disappear.

This is how smart people talk to each other. Some things don't need to be explained clearly, and the other party can understand them.

Qin Shu couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
