Chapter 168 168 She was given a problem right after they started dating...
When Cheng Yuntian first heard that Lu Hongzhe asked Jiang Lili to go out and set off fireworks, she felt something was wrong, but when she explained that the two families used to do this often, she dispelled her doubts. It was not until she saw the heart-shaped fireworks in the sky just now that she realized that her intuition was correct. Sure enough, that guy had bad intentions. But she didn't expect that someone who seemed taciturn on weekdays could have such a romantic heart.
Jiang Qitong was also attracted by the heart-shaped fireworks in the sky. She said happily, "Brother Lu, Sister Cheng, look, these fireworks are so beautiful."
"It's really beautiful." Cheng Yuntian's tone was a little perfunctory. Her attention was on how to block Jiang Qitong's sight so that she wouldn't notice the two people over there and avoid disturbing them.
"Hey, where's Sister Lili? I'll go find her. This will be gone soon." After saying that, Jiang Qitong quickly looked around for Jiang Lili.
"Tongtong, she will definitely notice it with such a loud noise. Don't you like this?" Lu Jiaze quickly stopped her and handed her a fairy wand to distract her.
"He's right. Let me go with you." Cheng Yuntian didn't want Jiang Qitong to ruin the romantic atmosphere, so he quickly pulled her to light the fairy wand.

Seeing Jiang Lili's outstretched right hand, Lu Hongzhe also reached out his own and held hers. Unlike his usual quick-release gesture, this time he didn't let go of her hand. Instead, he met her eyes and said seriously, "Please give me your guidance in the days ahead, my girlfriend!"
Looking at the two people holding hands, Jiang Lili's smile became brighter. She asked curiously, "Have you been preparing these for a long time?"
"It's not that long. Do you like it?" Lu Hongzhe's tone was filled with rare nervousness. He hadn't felt nervous for a long time.
"I like it very much." Jiang Lili nodded. When all the fireworks bloomed in the sky just now, the brilliant colors seemed to bring her back to the past. She was very happy that someone took so much care of her.
Hearing her answer, Lu Hongzhe finally felt relieved. The two of them just held hands and looked at each other. The air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles. Jiang Lili thought, it would be better if the palms of their hands didn't sweat, so she took the initiative to interrupt the ambiguous atmosphere: "Should we go over first?"
"Okay." Lu Hongzhe said and let go of her hand.
Jiang Qitong noticed the two people coming over while waving the fairy wand in her hand. She smiled and trotted over and asked, "Sister Lili, did you see that heart-shaped firework just now? It should be set off over there." She pointed to the location uncertainly.
"I see." Jiang Lili said and glanced at the person next to her.
"It looks great, doesn't it? I wonder if someone is proposing to me?" Teenagers have learned a lot from watching TV dramas.
Jiang Lili was amused by her: "You still know how to propose?"
"Of course I know, I know a lot more." Jiang Qitong snorted after saying this, and her whole body showed that she was very unhappy.
"Tongtong is in junior high school now, and she must know more and more." Lu Hongzhe said with a smile.
"Brother Hongzhe is right. I am a junior high school student now." Jiang Qitong deliberately emphasized the three words "junior high school student".
"I understand, junior high school student. Is the holiday over? When will you go back?" At this time, Jiang Lili felt a hint of coldness.
"Not yet. Where have you been? Come here quickly. Brother Lu has brought a lot of things that I have never played with before." Jiang Qitong only then remembered that she had "disappeared" just now.
"I've been watching the fireworks over there. Let's go and see if there's anything we haven't tried before." Jiang Lili urged.
"You'll know when you see it." The sisters' voices were getting farther and farther away. The smile on Lu Hongyun's lips remained unchanged, and he followed slowly.
When he arrived, Jiang Lili already had a fairy wand in her hand and was competing with Jiang Qitong to see who could spin it the roundest. At this time, Lu Jiaze came over and asked in a low voice, "Did it succeed?"
"Yeah." Lu Hongzhe nodded gently, with joy in his eyes.
"See, I knew it." Lu Jiaze thought, it turns out that Jiang Lili likes this kind of person. When they were little, they complained with him about Lu Hongzhe being mature. It's true that women's hearts are as unpredictable as the sea.
"Pack up and get ready to go back." He just saw Jiang Lili shrinking her neck. She has always been afraid of the cold, and the wind here is stronger than in the city.
"We haven't finished yet, it's too quick for you to destroy the bridge after crossing it." Lu Jiaze looked dissatisfied.
"Then go ahead and set them off quickly, and then go back directly." Lu Hongzhe didn't plan to take these fireworks back.
With the two of them joining in, the consumption of fireworks skyrocketed. It took them about half an hour to set off all the fireworks they had brought. Jiang Lili felt her hands were frozen red. She put her hands in the pockets of her outer clothes. It was not until she touched the box inside that she remembered the gift. Tonight, she not only received a gift, but also gained a boyfriend. So what should she give to Lu Hongzhe?
"Why are you smiling so happily?" Cheng Yuntian's voice sounded in his ears.
"Sister Cheng." Jiang Lili felt a little embarrassed when she met her gaze. The movement over there just now could be hidden from Tongtong, but not from her.
"When did it start?" Cheng Yuntian was a little curious.
"Maybe it's the feelings that slowly develop during our daily interactions?" Jiang Lili's tone was filled with uncertainty.
"I think he had planned it all along, but he's a nice guy. It's nice to have a relationship in college." What Cheng Yuntian regretted most was that he didn't have a relationship in college.
"I think so too." As for the future, Jiang Lili hasn't thought about it too much for the time being. She just wants to grasp the happiness in front of her.
"Enjoy yourself during the holiday, you'll be busy in a few days." Cheng Yuntian reminded in a disappointing manner.
"Okay." Jiang Lili agreed with a smile. She thought that they had already gotten used to the current way of getting along, so there shouldn't be any problem even after school started.
The two brothers cleaned up the garbage from the fireworks. Lu Jiaze stared at his blackened hands and looked at Lu Hongzhe: "You have to give me a big red envelope when you go back."
"Okay, here you go." Lu Hongzhe had already prepared the red envelope for New Year's Eve.
"You agreed so readily, are you just trying to please me?" Lu Jiaze looked doubtful.
"Lu Jiaze, has anyone ever told you that you're noisy?"
"No one said that except you. Besides, why didn't you say I was noisy when I was coaxing Tongtong not to come over and make trouble?" Lu Jiaze's tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Then I'll tell you everything I just said at once." Lu Hongzhe rolled his eyes at him and went to drive over there.
Lu Jiaze stared at his back and curled the corners of his lips. His brother himself didn't even notice that he was now a lot more "lively" than before. He guessed that this change was brought about by Jiang Lili. That was great. He was sincerely happy for the two of them.
"Lili, you and Tongtong can go back in Lu Hongzhe's car. I have to go home." Cheng Yuntian's tone was a little helpless. She had just received a message from Old Cheng. He had apologized to her and hoped that she could go home. This was the first time the family was separated on New Year's Eve. Cheng Yuntian always fell for this kind of emotional card, although she also hated herself for this.
"Okay, then you go back and have a good talk with Uncle Cheng and the others. It would be better if they could understand what you mean." Jiang Lili knew that outsiders could never get involved in matters like this.
"Well, I will have a good talk with them when I get back and try to solve the problem fundamentally." Cheng Yuntian didn't want this to happen again, so he planned to take this opportunity to have a good talk with them.
On the way back, Jiang Lili and Jiang Qitong sat in the back seat. The latter asked, "Sister Cheng isn't coming with us?"
"She also wants to go back to her home." Jiang Lili explained.
"Yes, my mother used to say that even beggars have their own New Year's Eve." Jiang Qitong nodded as she spoke.
"Shall we send you directly back to Uncle Jiang?" Lu Hongzhe asked.
"Well, we should sleep over there tonight." As Jiang Lili spoke, her hand touched the small box again. She suddenly remembered when he had just grabbed her wrist. Maybe she could give him a watch? Thinking of this, Jiang Lili began to calculate the funds she could use.
"Okay." Lu Hongzhe felt a little regretful. If they went back to Huajianlouji, they would have more time to spend together. However, they had a long time to come, so they didn't care about this little time.
Arriving downstairs at Jiang Aiguo's house, Jiang Lili took Jiang Qitong out of the car and said goodbye to them. Lu Hongzhe took out the red envelopes he had prepared and handed them to the two sisters, his tone full of tenderness: "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" When Jiang Lili saw the red envelope he handed over, she suddenly remembered that when they came to Yuncheng to celebrate the New Year, he also prepared red envelopes for his peers. He seemed to have always been so thoughtful.
Jiang Qitong received Jiang Lili's approval, accepted the red envelope, and thanked him happily: "Thank you, Brother Hongzhe."
"Then let's go back first?" Jiang Lili glanced at him.
"Yeah." Lu Hongzhe nodded at her. Today was the first day of their identity change, and he suddenly looked forward to the information tonight.
He didn't get back into the car until the two of them were far away. Lu Jiaze next to him asked rudely, "Where's mine?"
"You're an adult, how can you be so embarrassed?" Although he said this, he still took out another one and handed it to him.
"Let me remind you, I am the same age as your girlfriend." Lu Jiaze suddenly felt that he still liked his older look before, at least he treated them equally.
"You also said that she is your girlfriend. By the way, remember to watch your mouth when you go back." Lu Hongzhe reminded.
"That'll cost extra." Lu Jiaze took the opportunity to put forward his request.
"I'll give it to you when we get back." He stepped on the accelerator and left.
When the two sisters returned, their family was watching the Spring Festival Gala. Seeing them return, Jiang Yulan casually asked, "Why did it take so long?"
"Of course it's because there were so many fireworks." Jiang Qitong said as she told them about the fireworks that were set off today.
"Hey, Xiao Cheng didn't come back with you?" Jiang Yulan then realized that one person was missing.
"She went home." Jiang Lili explained.
"It's nice to be home. Today is a day for the whole family to reunite."
"Well, was this year's Spring Festival Gala good?" Jiang Lili asked.
"It looks better than last year. Are you going to keep watch tonight?"
"No, I'm sleepy now." Jiang Lili said and yawned. In fact, she wanted to go back to her room to be alone.
When Jiang Lili returned to her room, she received a message from Lu Hongzhe. She didn't expect that in the first message after they fell in love, he would give her a difficult question: "Can we tell our family about our relationship?"
