"You have such a little trick," Zhong Mingwei couldn't help laughing, and his laughter was painful. When he spoke again, his voice was filled with undisguised pity, "Such a big palace. It was dark, and there was no one. You sneaked in by yourself. Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. I don't believe in ghosts. I just want to go in and take a look when no one is around. Even if it's pitch black and I can't see anything, I want to stay in there for a while." Mei Ya whispered. Her cheeks flushed red. When she said this, she was actually too embarrassed to bear it. But she forced herself not to lower her head. She just stared at Zhong Mingwei eagerly. "That's where your mother lived and where you were born. At that time, I felt that my dream would never come true in this lifetime. This was the only way I could think of to get closer." At this point, Mei Ya's mouth curled up slightly, forming a gentle arc. "No one knows. Only I am thinking of you quietly, sitting alone under the pomegranate tree in Jingren Palace, watching the colorful fireworks in the distance, thinking about your appearance. That's enough."
"Is that really enough?" Zhong Mingwei said hoarsely, "Just watching the fireworks and thinking about me year after year, don't you need anything else?"
"Yes, that's enough," Meiya said, taking a towel to wipe her hands while looking at Zhong Mingwei, "Mingwei, at that time, you were no different to me than the fireworks. A bang, a flash of beauty, although it was fleeting, but it was enough to illuminate my life."
Yes, to her, Zhong Mingwei was such an existence. She had never thought about getting him, nor had she ever had such a luxury. She knew clearly from the beginning what her background and situation were. So, although she was not very old, she thought very thoroughly. Therefore, she could only like Zhong Mingwei in her own way. Although it was humble and hopeless, it was enough to illuminate her life.
"Girl..." Facing those clear and bright eyes, Zhong Mingwei had so many things to say, but he just couldn't say anything. He had never been so tongue-tied, and he had never been so heartbroken that his whole heart was trembling unspeakably. He reached out and held the girl's face, "This New Year's Eve, let's set off fireworks together, from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, okay?"
"Okay, I wanted to set off firecrackers last year, but you said you were afraid of avalanches. This year, let's move down the mountain," Mei Ya became excited when she heard this, and said to Zhong Mingwei while shaking her head, "Then let's buy some more firecrackers this year, okay? And also firecrackers! Chuan Tian Hou! When the time comes, you set off the firecrackers and I'll set off the Chuan Tian Hou! Let's see who sets off the loudest!"
The corner of Zhong Mingwei's mouth twitched: "...Are firecrackers scary?"
Zhong Mingwei didn't know what firecrackers were, but the ones that were set off on Pang Yi's wedding day scared him to death.
"Hahahahahaha!" Mei Ya looked at his pitiful appearance, then glanced at Zhong Mingwei's bare legs, and she couldn't stop laughing.
Zhong Mingwei was naturally unhappy, and was busy trying to make excuses for himself: "I'm not afraid, I'm just... worried about scaring you."
“Hahahaha!” Mei Ya was still laughing, and her tears were streaming down her face. She pointed at Zhong Mingwei’s face, and then at his two bare legs. She was laughing so hard that she could hardly speak. “Zhong Mingwei, you, you look so tearful, hahaha! How come I’m acting like a bully who raped a woman? Hahaha!”
Zhong Mingwei's eyes followed Mei Ya's and fell on his legs. He was immediately disheartened: "Master Bully, can we have a negotiation?"
"Young lady, just speak up!" the bully master said in a mighty voice.
