After the family had their reunion dinner, they sat in the watchtower of the Gong family manor.
What’s different from last year is that this year, because of the addition of siblings Shen Mojin and Shen Yan, they chose to have the fun together as a family.
A family of six.
Sitting around an exquisite low table on the top floor of the watchtower.
They enjoyed the dessert together, chatting and laughing.
The bodyguards and other servants who did not go home for the Spring Festival stayed in the manor and organized themselves to have fun together.
Some of them sat on another observation deck.
"Happy New Year!" Gong Hong was in a good mood as he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from everywhere in the suburbs. He created a group and sent big New Year red envelopes to everyone in the manor.
When it was Ningning and the other two's turn.
Facing his handsome great-grandsons and beautiful great-granddaughters, Gong Hong took out a black card and handed it to each of them. "This is your red envelope. There is no password and no limit."
Gong Lening Qingyue refused, "Great-grandfather, Mom just gave it to us."
Chi Jiujiu smiled and looked at Gong Hong, "Yes, Grandpa, Yanbao and his siblings are not short of money. What I gave them is enough to buy several buildings."
Gong Hong pretended to be angry, "It's a gift from an elder, I can't refuse it."
Shen Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he politely reached out to take it, "Thank you, Grandpa Zeng." The more money the better, he will need it later.
Gong Qixu and Gong Lening took it hesitantly after seeing Shen Yan’s actions.
This black card is not ordinary, with only eight issued worldwide.
Gong Hong has one in his hand.
The cards he gave to Chen Yan and his sister were secondary cards.
It was only a few minutes before midnight when the dark sky in the distance began to become colorful and gorgeous fireworks bloomed.
Fireworks are not allowed in the city or the suburbs.
But here at Gong Family Manor, there is no such concern at all. Unlike other citizens, there is no need to drive far away to set off fireworks and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"Brother Long, can Xiao Wu and the others start setting off fireworks?"
After Chi Jiujiu finished dialing the phone, she turned to look at Gong Hong and said, "Grandpa, last year you stayed in the villa with Grandpa Hua, but this year you came out with us, so you can enjoy it properly.
Ajin has already set up a formation around the area so that people won't be choked by the smell of gunpowder."
Gong Hong, "Okay."
Chi Jiujiu took Shen Mojin and stood at the fence of the watchtower. Then she raised her bright eyes and gazed at the scenery in the night sky.
Gong Lening, Gong Hong and the other three leaned against the fence on the other side and began to admire it.
Listening to the "bang bang" sound of fireworks in the distance.
Shen Mojin raised his black eyes and looked up at the sky along with Chi Jiujiu.
A few minutes passed and it was midnight.
Chi Jiujiu held Shen Mojin's big hand, retracted her gaze from the sky, and met the man's deep and moving eyes, "Ajin, we were not able to be together last year.
It’s great that we can finally watch the fireworks together this year.”
"Yeah." Shen Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
“Bang bang——!!”
“Bang….Bang…..!!!”
Soon, several circles of fireworks were lit up in the sky above the Gong family manor, and the dark sky suddenly became bright.
Gorgeous flowers bloomed in the air.
The fireworks come in various shapes, some bloom like chrysanthemums, some cascade like waterfalls, and some twinkle like stars, which is a feast for the eyes.
"Does it look good? Ajin."
Chi Jiujiu chuckled, took out a top-grade photo stone, and threw it into the air to record the scene.
Shen Mojin commented pertinently, "It's breathtakingly beautiful."
“Fireworks fade quickly, are fleeting yet eternal. But as long as they bloom, people will remember them, and their setting off will be worthwhile.”
Chi Jiujiu's eyes were filled with happiness.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned to look at Shen Mojin.
"Ajin, what are your wishes for the new year?" she asked softly.
Shen Mojin looked at her quietly, his star-like eyes full of seriousness.
"Jiujiu, my wish is very simple, I want to always be by your side and protect you." Shen Mojin's voice was low and firm.
After hearing this, Chi Jiujiu was deeply moved.
She held Shen Mojin's hand tightly and said, "Then let's make a wish together. I hope our wishes will come true."
The two smiled at each other, closed their eyes at the same time, and silently made a wish.
Under the brilliant fireworks, their figures looked particularly beautiful, as if the whole world belonged to only the two of them.
"Bang bang bang..." The fireworks are still blooming.
Suddenly, Chi Jiujiu felt a beating in her heart. She pulled her hand out of Shen Mojin's and slowly pressed it against her chest.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
This is not the sound of fireworks exploding, but the rhythmic sound of a heart beating violently.
Chi Jiujiu frowned and thought to herself, "How strange! It's not just palpitations, I have this strange feeling for no apparent reason, and my chest is also burning."
There was a tingling sensation on the skin of my chest, as if something had grown there?
I didn't take the wrong medicine and I don't have any heart disease.
What is going on?
"What's wrong, Jiujiu?"
Shen Mojin noticed the movement and lowered his head to ask Chi Jiujiu.
Chi Jiujiu shook her head, "It's okay, Ajin. I'll go to the villa to get you some spiritual fruits. You continue to watch the fireworks with the grandpas. I'll come over later." She didn't interrupt his enjoyment of watching the fireworks.
Shen Mojin, "I'll go with you."
“No need.”
Chi Jiujiu refused. After that, she quickly slipped from the top floor of the watchtower to the door of the villa, and then came to the warm bedroom.
Sitting on the edge of the round bed, she placed her slender hands on her shoulders.
The fluorescent light fluttered and the robes were taken off.
"Bang, bang, bang--" Chi Jiujiu listened to the sound of her heart beating violently.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her chest, only to see half a red flower mark growing on her originally snow-white skin.
The flower is located just above her left breast.
The green roots extended to the tip of her heart, and the whole flower seemed to grow out of her heart.
Chi Jiujiu was shocked. "What...is this?! Why did I get a tattoo like this? What's wrong with me?"
Bang... Bang...
As the heart beats violently, the petals of the red spider lily grow more and more.
The burning and stinging sensation gradually subsided until the complete flower was formed and completely covered her upper bust.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she touched the petals, wishing she could get them away.
Unexpectedly, the moment she touched the petals, a warmth came through her fingertips.
Chi Jiujiu felt as if her hand was burned and reflexively withdrew her hand.
A corner of the underworld.
Wuwang touched the green leaves on his chest, his eyes dim, his slender fingers pressed towards his beating heart, and deep in his eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible pain.
After recalling his inner demon, he will be uncontrollably affected by it.
When Wuwang was trying to control his inner demon.
Suddenly, a warm current came from the leaves.
Wuwang was stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"I will control Xu Chen, but little Tianji, please don't let me down." I can save all living things, but only you can save it.
