Chapter 92 Fireworks
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Abao did not bring any good news. He said regretfully, "The last time, the eldest lady bought it outside."
Speaking of Zhou Yi, Zhou Jingzhan finally remembered the sister he had entrusted to Lu Wen Ning, and called her without saying a word.
"Hey, bro."
"I almost forgot about you. Why were you going there?"
Zhou Yi gave a half-truthful explanation.
Zhou Jingzhan was skeptical, but didn't pursue the matter further. He got to the point: "Where did you buy the glutinous rice lotus root you bought when you came back to worship your ancestors last time?"
"That one," Zhou Yi tried hard to remember but couldn't. "I forgot about it a long time ago. That street is full of things like that. What made you want to come here? Did you go back to your old house?"
Not reliable at all, Zhou Jingzhan complained in his heart and lectured Zhou Yi again.
Then, Zhou Yi stammered, "Who was that person you asked him to send me last time?"
Something was wrong. Zhou Jingzhan felt it was abnormal, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong. He could only tell the truth: "My friend, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I see." Zhou Yi asked tentatively, "What's his name?"
"Lu Wenning."
"Oh..." Zhou Yi continued to ask: "Can you give me his phone number? I want to thank him for sending me."
At this point, even Zhou Jingzhan, no matter how slow he was, finally realized what was happening. He was so angry that he felt like his cabbage was about to grow legs and run away: "Put away those evil thoughts of yours! You two are almost a generation apart!"
After saying that, without listening to any explanation, Zhou Jingzhan hung up the phone and laughed out of anger.
She was extremely wary of Lu Wen Ning, afraid that her boyfriend would be snatched away, so she pushed her sister out as a shield, but it turned out that her sister fell in love with him.
Chu Yunqi looked at him with disdain, laughing while being angry: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Jingzhan was confused and surprised: "My sister actually fell in love with Lu Wenning."
Chu Yunqi didn't understand his sense of crisis and just watched the fire from the other side. "Why are you so anxious about this little girl's impulsive behavior? Besides, Lu Wenning is indeed quite handsome. With his professional image, it's normal for him to attract little girls."
Zhou Jingzhan only listened to what he wanted to hear, and said sarcastically: "No matter how handsome he is, it has nothing to do with you."
Before I finished my meal, Zhou Yi called again: Beijing is too boring, can I come to see you in a few days?
They don't come back normally, but run back whenever he has something to do. Zhou Jingzhan felt unhappy about it, but finally agreed.
We have to cherish these peaceful days. Zhou Jingzhan came up with an idea: "Let's make lotus roots ourselves."
Seeing that he was very interested, Chu Yunqi agreed.
I went to the supermarket to select the ingredients and then processed them. I spent an entire afternoon there, and the result was a pitch-black mess that was unbearable to look at.
Chu Yunqi took the initiative and took out a colander: "I'll fish it out for you."
Zhou Jingzhan said with a forced smile: "Okay, I made it specially for you, eat more."
Chu Yunqi froze there, not daring to move.
Zhou Jingzhan did not give up. He followed his actions, fished it out, cut it open, and put it to his mouth, smiling innocently: "Try it."
Chu Yunqi frowned and chewed twice: "It's bitter."
Zhou Jingzhan gloated over his misfortune, and Chu Yunqi also looked at him and smiled: "You try it."
Zhou Jingzhan shook his head, and Chu Yunqi restrained him: "Take a bite."
"I don't want to eat, I want to eat!"
Zhou Jingzhan shouted and struggled, but Chu Yunqi hugged him tighter and tighter, and finally pretended to kiss him.
Suddenly Zhou Jingzhan fell silent, turned his face away, and didn't dare to look at him guiltily.
Chu Yunqi could see the obvious resistance and felt a little disappointed, but mostly regretful. He slowly let go of the man and said, "Leave professional matters to professionals. If you want to eat something, I'll go buy it with you. You'll always find it."
Zhou Jingzhan nodded and took his arm comfortingly: "Okay."
There were a lot of visitors during the Spring Festival, and the Zhou Family Museum even opened a night session, which was packed with people.
As night fell, the two men shuttled through the crowd and looked around but couldn't find any stall selling osmanthus lotus roots, so they returned to the old house.
Chu Yunqi had only been to the old house a few times, and all of those times were to accompany Zhou Jingzhan to deal with his family. He had never really visited the museum.
With nothing to do, Zhou Jingzhan said, "Let's go back. I'll be your tour guide for once."
Chu Yunqi put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Okay, Master. I have a little surprise for you."
Zhou Jingzhan couldn't hold back a bit, and asked impatiently, "What?"
"You'll find out in a moment."
Zhou Jingzhan was so curious that he didn't want to explain to him. He asked all kinds of questions and was finally brought to the lake by Chu Yunqi.
Chu Yunqi picked up a flat stone from the cobblestone road nearby, shook his wrist lightly, and a beautiful splash of water appeared. It jumped several times on the lake surface before falling into the water.
Zhou Jingzhan clapped mechanically beside him.
Chu Yunqi rubbed his hair and said, "Don't be so depressed, give it a try."
"No, what on earth have you prepared for me?"
Chu Yunqi glanced at the time and tirelessly stuffed a stone into his hand: "You'll know when you succeed."
This was a great temptation for Zhou Jingzhan. He looked at Chu Yunqi doubtfully, and imitated him, swinging the stone with force. However, it only flapped on the water surface for a moment before sinking deep into the bottom of the lake.
Zhou Jingzhan refused to accept and tried again and again.
Chu Yunqi leaned against the railing beside him, lit a cigarette, and looked at him with a smile.
It was unknown how long it took, but Zhou Jingzhan's arms were sore before Chu Yunqi finally reacted.
He changed his hand to hold the cigarette, put his arm around Zhou Jingzhan's waist, and taught him step by step.
Success at once.
The stone bounced several times on the surface of the lake.
Zhou Jingzhan turned around and looked at him excitedly: "It's okay now."
Just as he finished speaking, a burst of explosions was heard from afar.
Zhou Jingzhan looked up, and in an instant, colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the entire lake.
Despite the ban, there was still such a grand display. Zhou Jingzhan was just wondering who had made all this noise when Chu Yunqi hugged him from behind. "This is the gold medal piece from the World Fireworks Competition. Do you like it?"
It turned out to be Chu Yunqi. This was unexpected yet expected. Zhou Jingzhan couldn't help but laugh: "When did you prepare this?"
"I contacted someone the day you told me you were going back to Suzhou. The paperwork and the fireworks company were ready yesterday. Since you didn't want to go out, I had to postpone it until today."
Fireworks appeared one after another in the sky. Every minute and every second of such a beautiful scene cost money, and postponing it for one day would increase the cost.
Chu Yunqi was willing to invest so much money in this fleeting beauty, yet he was unwilling to give up his business. Zhou Jingzhan felt that he was always conflicted.
Just like he said he understood his parents, but still left the capital to escape from them.
Everything else is easy to deal with, but once it involves the other party's parents, Zhou Jingzhan cannot interfere. But this is where Chu Yunqi has a knot in his heart.
This knot cannot be easily untied. Chu Yunqi will leave again in ten days. What choice should I make then?
Even though he is extremely happy now, Zhou Jingzhan can't help but worry about the future.
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Yunqi pinched his waist.
"I want to give you a gift."
Chu Yunqi leaned against his side face and whispered, "It's enough for you to be by my side."
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
The two of them snuggled together, watching the fireworks bloom and fade away, feeling each other's warmth.
