On the first day of the Lunar New Year, families gather together in a joyous atmosphere.
"Boss, when are the fireworks going off?"
Lei Tingjun, holding a bottle of beer, leaned back in his chair and said while drinking, "You can watch it now if you want."
He sat at the barbecue table and helped Ji Wanmei grill the food.
She likes to eat pork belly, small cartilage, and white mushrooms, and Lei Tingjun specifically chooses to grill the ones she likes.
Across from them, under a small lamp, Ji Wanmei and several close girlfriends sat together, laughing heartily about something, their faces as beautiful as flowers.
Lei Tingjun's gaze fell on Ji Wanmei's face, and he looked at her tenderly for a while before tilting his head back and taking a sip of wine.
Suddenly, a loud 'bang' exploded in the sky—
Fireworks shot into the sky in an instant, the orange-red fireworks blooming like a giant umbrella-shaped rain curtain in the night.
"Look, they're setting off fireworks!"
Everyone stopped talking and looked up at the sky in twos and threes.
Because Lei Tingjun bought so many fireworks, once they were set off, the entire Yuelu Garden and Yuelu Forest Residence area could be seen from there.
Tonight, countless people are looking up at this very moment to enjoy the fireworks together.
Ji Wanmei stood up, ran over from the opposite side, and grabbed Lei Tingjun's hand.
"Thank you, honey." She intertwined her fingers with his and whispered in his ear.
Lei Tingjun's eyes darkened as he looked down at her.
Lei Tingjun would only utter the word "husband" when they were intimately close, pleading and coaxing her. Otherwise, he would never hear it.
When she suddenly called him in such a gentle tone, Lei Tingjun was so excited that he didn't even want to watch the fireworks anymore. He just wanted to be intimate with her and hear her call him a few more times.
He held her waist tightly with his arms, and while everyone was looking up at the fireworks, he lowered his head and kissed her, conveying his feelings to her through his actions.
After the gathering ended, friends said their goodbyes in twos and threes.
Lei Tingjun didn't let Ji Wanmei pack up. After seeing off the last friend, he picked her up and carried her upstairs.
Outside the residential area, the sounds of firecrackers during the Lunar New Year could be heard from various other places.
In the bedroom, however, a series of intertwined sounds soon followed.
It seems like someone was setting off fireworks, but those were small clusters that flew very high and then exploded in the air.
As several fireworks shot into the sky, exploding into bursts of light that reflected on the windows, the light instantly became as bright as day.
The image also reflected on the bed in the room, showing a couple sweetly entwined.
The man kissed the woman's snow-white cheeks with tender affection.
He affectionately kissed her nose and eyes, coaxing her again and again, and called her "husband" once more.
The sweet, happy, and blush-inducing playfulness between the two could not be concealed even by the deafening sounds of fireworks and firecrackers outside.
