Chapter 795: New Year, I Like You (Part 3)
Fireworks are not allowed in the city. Ruan Qi hasn't seen large-scale fireworks for a long time since he left Qingyun Village.
Xi Jiu's words made her eyes light up: "Can we see the fireworks? Where are they?"
The little girl looked expectant. Xi Jiu curled his lips, took her hand and stood up.
"Come with me."
…
It was almost dawn and the bell for the new year was about to ring.
Amidst the laughter and joy of every household, a black Maybach quietly drove out of Yuyuan and sped towards the suburbs of the imperial capital.
There's a beach being developed in the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital. It's said the developer has spent a fortune buying up the entire stretch, intending to build a high-end resort, the kind that's incredibly expensive.
Ruan Qi heard all these things from Shen Wenqian. When Shen Wenqian told her, she just listened to it casually as gossip, but she didn't expect Xi Jiu to bring her here.
The black Maybach was parked steadily on the beach outside the resort. It was dark on the beach at that moment, with a cold moon hanging high in the sky. The cold moonlight fell on the sea like a veil, coating the deep blue sea and the soft sand with a layer of silver.
Ruan Qi pushed open the car door and walked down. With two quick steps, her shoes stepped into the soft sand.
"Jiujiu," she looked around with a look of curiosity, "Why did you bring me here? I heard from Brother Chen that this area has been contracted by a developer. Won't we be arrested if we trespass in without permission?"
"Won't."
Xi Jiu walked over to the little girl, put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. He chuckled and nuzzled her nose, "The developer is right in front of you. He can't bear to catch you."
Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly widened when she realized what was happening.
"Are you the developer who contracted this beach?!"
Xi Jiu smiled faintly and said, "This is a project currently underway at a branch of the Xi Corporation. If I must say, this beach is indeed contracted by me."
Ruan Qi suddenly became a good guy.
The legendary rich man turned out to be her boyfriend
"I just listened to some gossip, but ended up eating it myself"
Baby, do you see this? This is the sea I contracted for you
Ruan Qi's mind was filled with all sorts of unreliable comments. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xi Jiu knew her very well. As soon as he saw her smile, he knew that the little girl had no good intentions.
He rubbed her woolen hat helplessly: "Baby, what are you thinking about? You are smiling so happily."
"I'm not thinking anything, I just think my boyfriend is so awesome!" The little girl raised her head with a smile, "Such an awesome boyfriend, where are the fireworks you planned to take me to see?"
"Right here."
"Here?" Ruan Qi blinked and looked around. "Isn't the resort not yet completed? Why is there smoke..."
Before he could finish his words, two bright car lights suddenly appeared in the night in the distance.
Ruan Qi squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while before he saw clearly that it was actually a small truck.
The small truck was driving very fast. It came from far away and appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye, and finally stopped not far from Xi Jiu's Maybach.
The driver's door opened and a man who looked like a driver jumped out of the car.
"Mr. Xi." The driver greeted Xi Jiu respectfully.
Xi Jiu asked Ruan Qi to wait there for a while, and he walked forward, talked to the driver for a few words, and then took a key from him.
The driver handed the keys to Xi Jiu and left.
Ruan Qi stood there, watching Xi Jiu walk around to the back of the pickup truck and insert the key into the keyhole of the truck.
At this moment, Ruan Qi vaguely guessed something.
Her heart began to beat violently, and she could no longer hold back, so she ran over excitedly.
At the same time, Xi Jiu unlocked the cargo compartment. With a push of his arms, the heavy door yanked open.
Creak——
The rusty door hinges turned.
The double doors were wide open.
A whole carriage of fireworks appeared in front of Ruan Qi like gifts falling from the sky.
Ruan Qi stopped abruptly.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the car full of fireworks in disbelief, her eyes full of surprise.
"Jiujiu, these..."
"These are all prepared for you." Xi Jiu walked over to her, lowered his head, and pinched her little face, which was red with excitement. "Do you like it, baby?"
Ruan Qi nodded frantically.
"I like it! I like it very much! Thank you Jiujiu!"
To Ruan Qi, the fireworks in this carriage might not be worth much. But Xi Jiu's kindness was as brilliant and precious as the fireworks in the sky.
The little girl's eyes were red with excitement.
She grabbed Xi Jiu's sleeve and looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Jiujiu, let's set off fireworks!"
…
Xi Jiu bought all kinds of fireworks, from the big ones that shot into the sky to the small ones for children to play with, and he even prepared several boxes of firecrackers that made a loud noise when thrown.
The reason why he prepared so much was because Xi Jiu was not sure what Ruan Qi liked to play. And Ruan Qi's interests in this regard were indeed different from those of most girls.
She didn't choose sparklers or big fireworks, she chose a few things... firecrackers and double-bang cannons.
Yes, it is the kind of firecrackers that make a crackling sound when set off, and the double-bang firecrackers commonly known as Ertijiao and Ma Leizi that shake the earth.
"..."Xi Jiu really didn't understand the preferences of young girls nowadays.
It’s not that he thinks girls shouldn’t like these things, but he thinks these firecrackers are too dangerous. It would be bad if they exploded Ruan Qi.
Xi Jiu felt sorry for his baby and wanted to help her light the fuse.
But Ruan Qi decisively rejected his kindness.
"Of course, you have to light the firecrackers yourself to have a sense of ritual. Don't worry, Jiujiu, I've been playing with this kind of thing since I was three years old. It won't explode on me."
Xi Jiu: "..."
Is there something wrong with the parent-child education methods of his father-in-law and mother-in-law?
A three-year-old child is allowed to play with firecrackers by herself. Does this mean she loves her parents?
Boss Xi began to doubt his life again.
But Ruan Qi didn't feel her boyfriend's confusion at all. She grabbed her lighter and excitedly ran to the firecrackers. She squatted down and quickly lit the fuse, then hopped back like a rabbit.
The short line of fire burned for two seconds, and then firecrackers exploded with a bang.
Crackling——
The year ends with the sound of firecrackers, red sparks bloom in the night, and the loud sound of firecrackers is festive.
Xi Jiu was afraid that Ruan Qi would be startled by the sound of firecrackers, so he raised his hands to cover her ears.
Ruan Qi, who was excited by the sound of firecrackers, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and stood on tiptoe to help him cover his ears.
The crackling sound of firecrackers became louder and louder.
At the same time, the big clock in the center of the imperial capital slowly rang.
Ding ding ding——
Twelve times exactly.
The new year is here.
Xi Jiu, who was covering the little girl's ears, suddenly felt his neck sink. Ruan Qi had hugged his head, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips.
Amid the loud and lively sound of firecrackers, Xi Jiu heard her bright and lively shout—
"Happy New Year, Jiujiu! In the new year, I still love you so much!"
Although the third update is late, it’s here. Today’s update is from Straight Talk, Xiaoqi.
